3) (Bitcoin * the velocity of Bitcoin use) = GDP
4) Bitcoin supply will be capped at 21 million BTC
5) Therefore, unless the “velocity” of Bitcoin use increases, there will be no inflation.
6) If the produce of the nation increases, then each Bitcoin will purchase more goods and services.
7) This is would cause deflation.
