The initial emission scheme is part of Bitcoins fatal flaws. It should have been slow when starting out and much faster when POW was higher and usage was way up. Approach it from simple principles, why would the world voluntarily pass off huge amounts of wealth to early adopters? There is nothing in BTC that can't be trivially replicated or improved upon. Only speculators hoping for a bigger sucker will pay them off, and there is a limit to how many new ones appear. If BTC is the worlds currency then some sysadmin who mined a bunch in the early days gets to own California?
