Probably not considering the blob talks to Jacquard's app. Then again, you are part of an incredibly insignificant tiny minority of prospective customers, completely out of that project's target market. All in all, as someone who

In developed countries (ex in Europe), fiat currency officially loses at least 2% of its worth each year on average (or you yourself lose 2% worth of purchasing power every year, depending on how you see it). In reality it's much more

Nope, you are therefore incentivized to spend that money in objects or services that will bring in more value to you than the risk-free "interest" or gains brought by the mere deflation. Ergo, smarter investments.
