I see that a lot of investors want to buy a coin at a price below $1. But given the fact that the demand for the coin is not decreasing, we may not see such a price. However, the potential for ARB growth will not be associated with halving, but with the upcoming unlock ARB for investors, which will begin in 1 year.
But isn't yearly inflation fixed at just 2%? And I think by the time investor and team tokens are unlocked, the market would prolly be in full on bull mode where most of everything is trending up. So things like inflation, FDV, market cap go out the window. It's just a matter of buying the coins that are moving faster than ETH and BTC while ETH and BTC themselves are moving up in USD value.
I do not know what kind of inflation you are talking about, but I know for sure that in the first year the number of coins remains the same. Accordingly, there can be no inflation in the first year, since the Circulating Supply will remain unchanged at 1,275,000,000 ARB.
