Monero is great tech, but i'm getting a bit sour here. Since fluffys great "announcment" this ship is sinking and there are no signs of rescue.

What great announcement?

The only thing that can save monero is if we change to protocol not to have an infinite coin supply but have a hard cap like Bitcoin. All arguments defending tail emmission fail horribly and make even worse baseless assumptions.

'We' ?

It isn't going to happen, it's a feature, not an obstacle for Monero.

What brings you here instead of trolling the BTC threads? Seriously, do you actually have any XMR?

I actually do. I think it is a crypto with big potential.
As many people also misunderstand me regarding bitcoin, i'm not here to hate. I'm here to point out points that need improvement or better argumentation.

OK, well you're welcome to raise it - but I have seen people on WO arguing Bitcoin needs a tail emission 'like Monero' before, and it does seem to make sense, given natural wastage from lost coins reduces supply and the need to keep miners working to secure the network at the end of emission.

I am not bound to it, but it makes some sense - why do you feel it's a bad idea? It's not hurt Monero so far (although it's not Monero's finest hour right now, I grant you) and the tech does generally have great respect across crypto. Why pick this, instead of the usual 'poor marketing' criticism?
