To a libertarian, inflation is a "bug", but not necessarily to others.
LMAO!!!! Of course. To a parasite, the ability to steal isn't a 'bug' but a feature.
Models that allow infinite inflation over a long time-period are different economic models, rather than badly implemented crypto-code.
Personally, I think inherently deflationary is a bad economic model, so I'd be more inclined towards an inflationary currency.

When trying to execute a pump&dump scheme, it is more effective to attack something thinly traded, assuming, of course, that there are enough marks available to fleece. In other words, pick a different coin:

Interesting, what do they mean by 'capitalization hard limit'

And it's rather important to read the code and not the coins marketing. Some of this stuff is kinda hilarious
