I also am against increasing the coin supply & Supercoin already has a good incentive to stake due to its 100% interest currently.
But it's not that stupid considering all the banks around the world does the same with fiat. (More money in bank = higher interest)
Also, more people staking & trading less results in a stronger network. It actually could prevent pump & dumps IMO.

Stake is not interest. It is a superficial mimicry of interest.. Coins cannot earn interest until one of them comes up with a way to lend them at a contract interest rate and have them still be spendable, but revokable (or rate adjustable) if the terms are not met. This would never work with anonymity unless it becomes possible to enforce the contract terms on an anonymous wallet or address through some kind of escrow mechanism. Even then there's no way to estimate default risk and thus set an interest rate to lend them at.
