I still feel that confiscating stale addresses is what will be done.
How many 2009 to 2010 blocks have zero withdrawals a lot maybe 10,000 blocks of 50 coins each were never touched.
Put in a 2079 year rule that untouched blocks for 2009 will be slowly emptied starting in year 2089 unless a withdrawal is made from an untouched
block.
Banks already do this.
and goverenments allow it.
It is still the same 21 million coins.
With state after state and countries governments making reserve account I am pretty sure we are going to see a push for this.
I will be long dead in 2079 (age of 122) so I won't live to see it happen or most likley I won't even see serious discussion on this as I will likely be
dead by 2057 (100 years old) rewards would be 0.01220703
I wouldn't go on and add "confiscating" next to anything Bitcoin. People buy Bitcoin because that is never a possibility among other things, so that wouldn't look great, it's just a not a good luck and doesn't work within the Bitcoin ethos. We have to respect all addresses eternally, that is the main idea. And im not sure we even need a tail emission. It's at least debatable that we do. In theory, transaction fees should be enough to keep the network alive, plus people will go as far as mining at a lose in order to keep their money, just like how people pay a subscription fee to have cloud storage or a vpn, then people should mine to keep their money safe, if everyone did their part then the network would be more decentralized and kept safe, but people only want to mine if there is a profit, not realizing that as a holder mining at a loss is just investing on the security of your holdings.
Well once again adaptation by states So far Texas and New Hampshire countries USA and El Salvador plus companies like micro strategy holding 500,000 plus btc. Will mean,big pressure down the road to keep the sha256 train rolling rather than mIning shift to scrypt since doge is designed to be mined forever with a constantly decreasing rate of Inflation.
I wish I was 28 not 68 as I would love see how the issue plays out in the 2059-2099 time frame.
To anyone young simply stack both.
Say 10x value in btc over doge.
