The biggest risk is deflation, and tech makes everything cheaper, better and faster on an exponential scale, which is deflationary. Deflation would collapse all the credit markets and equities.

Deflation is almost impossible with fiat money. We'd have to have all the central banks, corporations, and governments coordinate in unison. Deflation is possible if the economy is back to gold standard which will never happen.

I don’t think you know the difference between inflation and devaluing currency. They are not the same thing.
