> Satoshi Nakomoto’s mission was to eliminate the Cantillon Effect and create truly neutral and fair money that is not dependent on any third party. Satoshi did not unfairly pre-mine any bitcoin to keep for himself.
But he did arrange for half of all Bitcoin to be emitted in the first four years, which practically guaranteed a huge slice for himself as few people had even heard of bitcoin.
Truly neutral and fair money would have a constant rate of emission, i.e. fixed block subsidy. That would still see yearly supply inflation rate go down towards zero, just much slower.
