> That's why it doesn't make any sense to buy it now, unless you need it now. I think inflation/deflation has very little impact on investment value, only on nominal price on a unit currency. A currency could be wildly inflationary and still a good store of value, if people sell them cheaply because of the expected inflation and it turns out future demand was underestimated. In that case, it would still increase in price just as much as a deflationary currency.
