This fear is often expressed by those who are new to Bitcoin and Austrian economics in general. According to the Keynesian model, Bitcoin would lead to economic stagnation, but as @Brad Mills, @Guy Swann, and @johnkvallis explain in this chapter, this couldnโt be farther from the truth.
Below is Brad Mills answer, as written in โ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐โ:

Bitcoin is a savings technology. Bitcoinโs unique properties make it the best vehicle for storing your wealth over long time frames in a world being digitized and where technology makes our lives easier.
When your savings actually grow in purchasing power over time, you spend less in the present to preserve and grow your purchasing power in the future.
Iโm hopeful that Bitcoin will lead to a world with less consumerism, less waste, and smarter financial decisions, resulting in more individuals and families experiencing economic prosperity.
The significant majority of people in the world are already experiencing economic stagnation when you measure purchasing power, not dollars.
Wealth inequality is at record levels, the price of homes is rising while wages are not, and excess savings rates are low.
Weโve been trained to over-borrow and over-consume; we sacrifice a comfortable future for a more pleasurable present.
Bitcoin should help increase financial literacy and lead to more prosperity, reducing economic stagnation on the individual level.
Brad Mills is a lifelong entrepreneur with a focus on product development and marketing. Involved with Bitcoin since 2011 as a miner, entrepreneur, and investor, Brad is a Value Maximalist at his core.

While the decreasing duration of each epoch's final block may appear to be a consequence of rising hashrate, this is not the case. These block times are ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ณ๐ฆ๐ญ๐บ ๐ฅ๐ถ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ค๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ.
The Difficulty Adjustment every 2016 blocks, or about every 2 weeks, keeps blocks within a 10 minute timeframe ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ด๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ด๐ฎ๐๐ฒ, not with each individual block. Some blocks within a difficulty period will be found in mere ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ๐, while others will take an hour or more. But zoomed-out, they tend to take about 10 minutes.
With the next halving only a couple days away, how long do you think block 839999 will last before block 840000 is found?
