That's the whole point. It's not optimal- But it cannot be changed. So why are we lauding a scheme without optimal parameters as the winner?
Lets make this simple.
Proof us that BBR or Bitcoin Emission is optimal.
Less talky talky more walky walky.
So BBR is mined half as fast,
but at some point the Emission will simply cross the XMR Emission in terms of daily inflation.
PS: I think there is no optimal Emission
and we all know fuck nothing about whats right or wrong today. Its an experiment; i also think that most of not all Cryptocurrencies will be replaced with something more advanced in the next 50 years or so.
Risto actually said if the supply was 70% mined he would have never touched this coin. It isn't too far off when this will be 70% mined.
Thats his thing, if the coin is mined 70% and the price is still the same, whats the difference? Does that mean i shouldn´t buy Bitcoin now as its already +60% mined?
It takes ~ 3 years to mine 70% of XMR. - thats pretty far off from what i can see. For BBR it takes what? 6 Years? and then? No one will buy it because 70% are mined?! 3 years are such a big difference?
And yet there are speculators amongst you who proclaim a 1000 x rise (to the tune of 7x the current market cap of bitcoin!!) is on the table. Where exactly will the ecosystem for a $35 billion dollar market rise from?
Dunno? No one of the core team said something like that. No one knows, its that simple, crystal balls aren´t working.
That's the whole point. It's not optimal- But it cannot be changed.
Everything can be changed or tweaked if needed; its that simple - so far we know absolutely nothing about if it will be needed and except baseless claims no one yet delivered a proof of that.
