you can encourage people to evaluate if a purchase or investment is timed correctly without making the money permanently as-deflationary-as-possible the whole "but people will still buy the bare minimum of stuff to not die" isn't particularly helpful or convincing of anything

it's not just bare minimums to survive, it's anything they deem to be worth more than the sats adjusted for time preference. bare minimums are the easy choice because the preference to live rather than die is the easiest one to calculate at an immediate, intuitive level and is basically the same for everyone. but every other trade is also fair game and will look very different for every person. what are you hinting at would be a better alternative?

Just use fiat.
