i honestly don't get why they dress it up in this stupid "tail emissions" bullshit. even if you smooth the curve once the precision runs out, it is going to go to zero. but that is like 100 years away the main argument for tail emissions, which i'm just gonna call "interpolation" is that it changes a 4 year cycle of up and down. peter todd is a dick but stairstep reduction of emission rate is clunky and cheap. it would not substantially burden nodes to change from the halving algorithm to using an exponential decay that follows the same exact path, except more precisely.
