Bitcoin is inherently anti-inflationary — only 21 million BTC are supposed to ever be mined. This is unlike fiat currency and even unlike gold, because precious metals can continue to be mind as prices rise. Bitcoin is almost the ultimate anti-inflationary asset as the vast majority of BTC have already been mind and the overall Bitcoin-related miner and developer network has so far been conservative and prudent. This may not continue in the future, but it bodes well so far.
