Note the contradiction: It was diagnosed that the recession of recent years was caused by uncontrolled lending which was possible thanks to issuing money by central banks and keeping low interest rates in this way. At the same time bitcoin that is free of this flaw and prevents reckless lending is criticized.
Deflation and hoarding was never a real problem. Baby-Sitting Co-op IS a silly story that does not scale. Gold had similar deflationary property as bitcoin and somehow it was used in trade for ages. Critics miss the point that monetary wealth is useless if you can't spend it, so at some point hoarders will say: enough, it's time to use some life. At the end of the day, money is just numbers with the potential to convert it to comfortable life.
My selfish, self-interested side says: I would wish more hoarders who collect numbers and don't convert it, so they don't use real world resources. They leave more for me!
