there is something I didn't like that satoshi did and it's not talked about a lot. I don't like halvings. it's a big jump and it causes a lot of disturbance. he could not have had any meaningful insight into what would happen if bitcoin's market cap is big and its hashrate is high and there is a halving. I wish that he had made the emission curve more smooth with the reward adjusting each block instead of just cutting it in half every once in a while.
