Because of this, we know that there will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin, and the block subsidy is merely ensuring a decentralized, equitable, and predictable distribution of that fixed supply over time.

Another major difference with inflationary currencies is the rate of inflation can be increased. Money printer can go BRRRRR faster, crypto devs can arbitrarily update the code, and gold miners can work harder.

No matter how many ASICs are spun up on Bitcoin, the distribution rate will remain fixed until the next halving. Its distribution rate only ever decreases, until it finally ceases entirely.
