Changing the tail emission
I recently saw Seth mention on Monero Talk that because the tail emission is fixed and the inflation rate asymptotically approaches 0, eventually it will no longer be enough to secure the network.
Does this make sense?
If it does, would it be a good idea (purely on a technical level, forger about the politics for a second) to change the tail emission to 1% per year?
And yes, for a purely speculative asset like bitcoin having the 21M meme is very powerful to pump the price, but if we want monero to be actually used as money and to be sustainable maybe 1% inflation is not a bad idea?
After all, gold has between 1 and 3 % inflation and has proven itself as a store of value.
IMO inflation is OK if the rate is low and predictable.
