That remains true until all Bitcoins are created. Then the only reward is transaction fees which as of right now is pretty much nothing.

If Bitcoin isn't any larger than it is now then in a hundred years or so it won't really matter.  Realistically even a decade from now Bitcoin will be much larger or it won't exist.
