Inflation and Deflation
Value Deflation is the thing that you are accustomed to catching wind of in Bitcoin. That term is utilized to depict the costs of merchandise/benefits as they diminish, in light of the fact that the estimation of Bitcoin goes up.
Value Inflation is the inverse. At the point when costs of products/administrations increment on the grounds that the estimation of Bitcoin goes down.
Thus, when managing Price-Inflation or Deflation, there is a backwards relationship of cost and esteem, with respect to products/administrations and Bitcoin.
Case: As the Bitcoin cost goes from $10 to $20, the costs of products/administrations goes down from 20BTC to 10BTC. As the Bitcoin cost goes from $20 to $10, the costs of products/administrations goes from 10BTC to 20BTC!
Now that we've gone over PRICE Inflation and Deflation (which honestly, to me, is a term made popular by Keynesian's to hide the real facts, as price inflation/deflation is simply the market exchange rate, reflective of the money supply into a currency from itself and other currencies), let's go over the REAL inflation/deflation of a currency (otherwise known by many as Monetary Inflation).
MoneySupply-Inflation is when the value of Bitcoin decreases when the total supply of Bitcoin increases. In our current state, this is at a generation rate of 25 BTC every 10 minutes.
MoneySupply-Deflation will essentially never occur. It is when the value of Bitcoin increases when the total supply of Bitcoin decreases. This may happen, say, when someone loses their private key and all the BTC associated with it are lost. This effectively "makes the rest of us richer". That being said, there is a SET DECREASE in the generation rate of BTC, so you have sort of a "deflationary effect" in the value, as long as more exchange occurs for BTC at a rate which is faster than that set generation rate.
When all 21 million coins are produced, the MoneySupply will be neutral, and the value will continue to increase (prices will decrease, consequently), as long as people continue to exchange in BTC.
What decides the PRICE of Bitcoin? The VALUE of Bitcoin at a specific minute.
What decides the VALUE of Bitcoin? The SUPPLY and DEMAND of Bitcoin in the economy.
What decides the SUPPLY of Bitcoin? At present, the MoneySupply-Inflation rate of 25 BTC at regular intervals, and dealers willing to SELL Bitcoin to BUYERS in return for different supplies of cash (monetary standards).
What decides the DEMAND of Bitcoin? Brokers willing to BUY Bitcoin from SELLERS in return for different monetary standards.
Along these lines: BUYERS, SELLERS, and MONEYSUPPLY-INFLATION (diggers) decide the VALUE of Bitcoin, which decides the PRICE of BTC as BUYERS and SELLERS exchange in view of that VALUE (or free market activity) of Bitcoin.
We don't precisely know the totality of the free market activity. Indeed, we could attempt and total information from every one of the trades, however we will never be precise as there are trades which can not be represented (OTC). The cool thing is that we DO know the MoneySupply rate, and we DO know the conversion standard. From this, we can decide a genuine estimation of Bitcoin when essentially increasing the two factors; a kind of expansion balanced perspective of the money.
Adequately, the quantitative investigation of free market activity is truly what the money trade merchants endeavor to precisely figure out which is passed on through purchasing and offering of Bitcoin, setting a VALUE by means of the PRICED swapping scale of the cash. On a side note, the greater part of the enormous Market Makers (FX Traders) utilize this value development as an approach to bring home the bacon, too. Particularly when value variances are a result of buildup or dread (bubbles, bluffs), not genuine supply/request information, and are fiercely out of the genuine value run.
In this manner, on the off chance that you break down the best possible macroeconomic information trying to gauge future DEMAND for more Bitcoin (cost increment), you will understand some exceptionally fascinating things, and have a more precise picture of where the cost is going...
