Well FWIW Austrian theory would disagree...
While it might reduce some investment, one could argue that the investments that are being made with a Fiat monetary policy will inherently lead to booms and busts due to malinvestments.
The other side of the "coin" is that it would enhance living standards, as savings become more valuable. People are still going to spend on consumption goods, charity, etc...

no Austrian economist EVER has argued that the supply side of the price of money should be taken out of the equation.
there's plenty of Austrian literature arguing that a commodity only money supply is too inelastic.
it's only this eras heavily-invested-in-Bitcoins "Austrian Economists" who try and argue that a fixed monetary supply is somehow good policy.
