You do realize that there are about 80 million coins still to be mined, right? It will take awhile, but eventually things will even out.
It'll never reach 80 millions
Year | Blocks a year | Max reward per block | Coins a year | Total coins |

Shouldn't it be 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125, 1.5625 etc? (/2, then /2, then /2... halving as I understand it means /2)
Yes, I made a mistake.
Since halving is every year, total amount of coins is limited by 2x of what produced in first year, so it's definitely not 84 millions.
