Diddydidit, I like that you are trying to solve a problem you see. I appreciate the thoughts and I'm happy you are bringing this discussion up.

I agree with @ducecrypto and @vettev that reducing emissions, and thus extending rewards over a longer period of time, makes more sense than just burning them.

I get your frustration, but people make decisions using a total market cap based on 3B total tokens eventually given out. I feel that making it less (or more) than the whitepaper would be a problem, and it would hurt the trust and confidence in the future.

I also think this is a very intricate subject that will take a lot of discussion to pass. I welcome the process starting, but I'd be surprised if this topic can pass anything without a bunch of people getting together to build a compromise solution. (ps... you can count me in if anyone wants me involved!)
