I'm confused.  I thought your argument in the OP of this thread was that 
a perpetual block subsidy would *not* be tied to the total value of 
bitcoin.  It'd be tied to the total value of bitcoin *lost* each year on 
average.

If so, would you then agree that the inability of a perpetual block 
subsidy to directly tie miner revenue to the total value of Bitcoin 
makes it not exactly how we want to incentivise a service that keeps 
Bitcoin secure?

Thanks,

-Dave
