> fixed inflation

It looks like you're referring to the tail emission which solves the problem that Bitcoin has.

Also, it is a small fixed amount of "coins", so the actual inflation rate approaches zero.

I think your comment is what they call "F.U.D."

Which problem are you talking about? It being deflationary? You might not think it's a good idea, but it's not a problem if it's by design.

Now THAT is FUD. Current annual inflation rate is 0.84191433% [0]. That is massive and not "approaches zero". The value of Monero over n-years thus approaches zero over time, for big enough n.

While that is a little under 1%, it is still inflation. The ECB targets on average 2% inflation (while before COVID the ECB targeted maximum of 2% - so actually close to the Monero inflation).
