Inflation is how rich write off huge debts they have, because same 1000$ debt after 10 years is a lot less value.

Even it is true inflation pumps nonstop growth of economy - it is not practicaly possible to depend on nonstop growth or die. Hence all the crisis and ridiculousness in current economies.

There is no difference if rich people are idle because they have stocks or because they have currency. That is what richness is about - the lack of need.

Ofcourse bitcoin or other similar currency wont solve all the problems, but it is a better version of currency than the curent one for sure!
