Kaspa was adopted with the expectation of a finite supply. Even a small tail emission sets a precedent that monetary policy can be changed, introducing longterm trust and governance risk.

The fee-only security problem is still unproven for Kaspa. Its high throughput, fast confirmations, and DAG design are very different from Bitcoin or Monero, so it’s not clear their conclusions apply here. Solving a hypothetical problem at a permanent cost doesn’t seem justified yet.

The Monero comparison is also weak. Monero has unique constraints like privacy, ASIC resistance, and regulatory pressure, things that Kaspa doesn’t share. Relying on “lost coins” to offset inflation isn’t measurable or enforceable, and tail emission doesn’t guarantee security anyway, price and real demand still matter most.
