If you want to save long-term, then invest in mutual funds or real estate or whatever you want, but don't sit on your currency.
Or... I can invest in Bitcoin, which doesn't tell me what to do. That's what it was created for, remember? We are supposed to be in control, and not have our wealth stolen through inflation or other trickery. If you are in doubt of this, go read the genesis block.
A currency that is just like the USD is not interesting and I won't use it, no matter what your theories say.
Bye.
We have far less inflation then other currencies, after 4 years nearly all coins are mined... you dont have that on ltc for example (at the moment already 28 mio ltc are out - prolly more then we will ever have mro and its still a lot higher priced than mro).
If we have a block reward < 1 mro per block that is simply nothing, i guess it will make up for lost wallets and not more and keeps the incentive to mine.
You don't lose anything and you still have the same amount of mro than u had before...
