if economic security is a meme...and issuance isn't a cost to the network then issuance is a meme

and if issuance is a meme...then why does Solana issue?

many sleepless nights haunted by this question since the Drake vs Anatoly debate

Ethereum people have a 3D understanding of crypto and Solana people have a 2D understanding.  In the 2D world of fees, speed and 'now' Solana is right, but in the 3D world of decentralisation, durability and adaptability Ethereum is right. I'd bet Solana people on average have seen less cycles and coins come and go.
