 It's an interesting thought.  Inflation keeps us working, even if it's in a job that's not useful to soceity.  What was providing you a comfortable living 5 years ago is now sub standard.  The problem is there is no way to get off the inflation hamster wheel ex #Bitcoin.   

I think global wealth will have to be close to evenly distributed before we get to a time where human flourishing is of peak importance.  Everyone will hold enough wealth where they don't *have* to work.  Bitcoin will start that process.
