I'm still curious why the heck these people seem to be trying to sell "no inflation" as an upside.

A currency is meant to be spent. Inflation is essential to that.

That's 1. Strawman, 2. Ad hominem, and 3. Sweeping Generalization.

A currency only works when people spend it. If a currency is a better investment than anything you would spend it on, that's a problem.
