Monero’s tail emission isn’t “endless inflation”, it’s a fixed, known emission rate that ensures long-term miner incentives and preserves network security when fees alone may not suffice. This isn't dilution in the fiat sense; it's a capped, predictable tradeoff for sustainability. Bitcoin’s fee market model is still unproven at scale especially during low activity periods. The prayer is that fees rise enough to secure the chain without pricing users out, but this is just, in my opinion, unwarranted speculation. Both models reflect different assumptions about future network dynamics. But Monero’s approach is deliberately conservative, prioritizing privacy and longevity over ideological purity. That’s not a cheap shot. That’s sound engineering.
