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.
