What about burning all fees and keep a block reward that will smooth out
while keeping the ~21M coins limit ?

Benefits :
- Miners would still be incentivized to collect higher fees transaction
with the indirect perspective to generate more reward in future.
- Revenues are equally distributed over time to all participants and we
solve the overnight discrepancy.
- Increased velocity of money will reduce the immediate supply of bitcoin
cooling down the economy.
- Reduction of velocity will have an impact on miners only if it persevere
in the long term but short term they will still perceive the buffered
reward.

I don't have ideas yet on how to elegantly implement this.

This is easy to quantify as the expected time of emission which would<br>
be 0.99 * 0.5yr + 0.01* 51yr =3D 2 years.<br>
Bitcoin is not much better in that the expected time of emission of an<br>
bitcoin satisfies x =3D 0.5*2yr + 0.5*(4+x) and thus equals 6 years.<br>
<br>
Monero appears much better since its tail emission yields an infinite<br>
expected time of emission, but if we avoid infinities by looking at<br>
just the soft total emission [1], which is all that is emitted before<br>
a 1% yearly inflation, then Monero is seen to actually be a lot worse<br>
than Bitcoin, due to emitting over 40% in its first year and halving<br>
the reward much faster. Ethereum is much worse still with its huge<br>
premine and PoS coins like Algorand are scraping the bottom with their<br>
expected emission time of 0.<br>
<br>
There&#39;s only one coin whose expected (soft) emission time is larger<br>
than bitcoin&#39;s, and it&#39;s about an order of magnitude larger, at 50<=
br>
years.<br>
