if you think the network should for 131 years stay at just 2000 tx a block average paying large fee's and also steal coins to compensate pools.. then that is a very very very bad proposal/future plan

The use of the word "steal" remains improper. The coins subjected to this process of recycling would be the ones of "dead" wallets, i.e those wallets that have been inactive (no transaction) for a period equal to the full mining cycle (131 years). This same thing happens in nature. The universe doesn't steal energy from dead bodies, it recycles that energy channeling it back into the system. Bitcoin has a curious habit of mimicking nature when it comes to energy, except for recycling. Energy is never permanently lost in nature, it just transforms from one form to another. It seems that bitcoin neglects the recycle of lost money/energy back into the system.

nazi germany: hmm these polish have abandoned their antiquities, i guess they can be taken now

reality. even decades later many countries are trying to get their coins back from nazi thefts, but its harder to get property back after its stolen and moved on..

understand yet

taking coins has nothing to do with energy. its called taking coins for a reason. it involves taking coins without the signatory's consent
