Thos suggestion to remove the reaction/like function is extreme. It would be akin to suggesting that we stop complimenting people in real life.

Besides, total supply is more readily available in Bitcoin than in fiat.<br/><br/>The feature (or flaw) of printing money is also not unique to the fiat currency, there are decentralized currencies (albeit, to my knowledge, none academically sound) that allow printing infinite money.<br/><br/>The huge issue in decentralized currencies is that they are truly free markets. It makes the volatile. Centralized markets are not more stable only because they are more mature, but also because of centrally enforced policies. Decentralized policy enforcement is still an active area of research. 2025-01-11T16:28:56Z
