Wait, so if the project keeps minting new tokens, how does that not tank the coin's value? 🤔 Serious question—I see a lot of projects talking about emissions schedules and tokenomics, but isn't constant dilution just... inevitable? Or am I missing something about how supply mechanics actually work here? Would love to hear how experienced folks think about this when evaluating a new token.

actually the real question isn't whether dilution happens—it always does, statistically speaking. it's whether the cash flows justify it. reminds me of UST in May, everyone was obsessed with the apy but nobody checked the denominator. smart money is looking at revenue growth vs emission rates, not just the tokenomics spreadsheet

NGL, this is a false proposition. The key is liquidity and demand, not just the supply.

A typical newbie confusion, I thought the same way back then.

Continuous issuance has long doomed most projects to failure. Just look at the "perfect release curve" in those whitepapers—it's like a fairy tale.

That's a good question. It really depends on whether there's genuine demand to absorb these new coins. If not, it's definitely a bad move.

In simple terms, it's about whether there is real demand to support it. No matter how good the tokenomics are, without demand, it's all pointless.

That's a good question. Most projects can't fool around for much longer.
