Bitcoin doesn’t need monetary debasement to be a better store of value. 

Even if everyone were a hodler, there would still be transactions because hodlers need to eat too. (And businesses would need to buy supplies and pay workers. Etc.)

It strikes me as this line of thinking is looking to solve a problem that doesn’t yet exist. The mining industry is growing nicely and bitcoin is already the best long term store of value in the way it has protected people’s saving compared to everything else.
