I designed the reward schedule with 4 halvings. The schedule benefits early adopters. It is as follows:
Era Reward
0 50 (10 million coins)
1 25
2 12.5
3 6.25 (21 million coins)
4 6.56
...
10 9.85 (31 million coins)
...
30 38.11 (122 million coins)
Even though the supply inflates at 7%, it is still limited. There can be short-term speculation. If short-term adoption rises faster than 7%, the coin can gain value.
We're still in the early phases of mining. The reward schedule creates scarcity to allow the coins to gain value.
