The degen position is the one that maximizes “number go up” at the expense of the security

1k sat, because your comment is perfect :)

Let me add yet:

• simple solution (easy to understand for Average Joe)
• no hardcoded value of tail emission (only the circumstances define it)
• as long as income from transactions compensate cut-off of block subsidy - nothing is changed
• the network may grow by tiny single ASIC miner every 4 years - and nothing is changed as well

Just the network security oriented and only a safety measure.
