   What's your best argument for what happens when Bitcoin's inflation runs low/out? It's headed for a cliff the way it is.

   Please no "meh someone will figure it out" ?

     @thedesertlynx They will add tail emission if/when the problem becomes obvious.

     @thedesertlynx It won't happen tomorrow, but over time attitudes may change, as more data comes in (perhaps 5-10 years from now?). Network fees are continuing to be lower than many people expected and I've seen the topic of miner reward being discussed by prominent community members (don't remember who/where exactly), so at least some bitcoiners are aware about the problem and are considering various options.

     @silverpill That's a great potential solution. I just don't think it has any chance of happening. 21 million is sacred to Bitcoin's branding and ethos right now.
