With a linear emission rate, the relative inflation percentage drops pretty substantially year over year. 100% year 1, 50% y2, 33% y3, etc etc.

At a certain point the inflation rate drops below that of fiat currency. Pretty smart IMO

I think if anything the emission rate should increase over time. Unfortunately most crypto currencies seem to be encouraging holding them as an "investment" instead of actually using them as a currency.

Are you suggesting any of the top 5 cryptos are encouraging HODL besides Bitcoin?

Currency and money are not the same thing.

And over time, what was an O(n) emission rate becomes O(n!)
