My amazon stock that I hold is going up in value, and is therefore "deflationary".
But it would be silly to say that I would never have a reason to sell those stocks.
I sell things, whether they are dollars or stock or crypto, because I want to buy something.
It's the same thing.
The only difference maybe, is regarding friction. IE, maybe it is a bit more difficult to immediately sell the Amazon stock at a store.
But transaction friction is different than the deflation argument.
