Assume you are correct for the sake of argument

It's bad faith to think Monero bros "want" inflation. They believe tail emission is necessary to secure the chain going into the future. They think your blockchain eventually wont exist without it.

After all even gold has a small amount of inflation and has been the money of civilization for thousands of years. We have precedent to to point to while Bitcoin doesn't.

Gold’s “inflation” was always diminishing, not fixed, and its credibility came from new issuance becoming negligible over time, not from a permanent tail.

And yes, Monero’s tail emission is a practical approach to miner incentives, and Monero itself is a strong contribution to freedom tech and financial privacy. There can never be too much of freedom tech.

Monero's inflation is also diminishing with every block. That's the power of a fixed coin issuance. You get to choose any arbitrary number. It doesn't matter. Always will find an equilibrium.
