StarkWare CEO wants Bitcoin to have 4% yearly inflation instead of the 21M cap

So Eli Ben-Sasson, the CEO of StarkWare Industries (that Israeli crypto firm valued at something like a few billion), dropped a post on X suggesting Bitcoin should ditch the 21M cap in favor of a 4% annual inflation model. Some crypto news sites picked it up and now here we are. Ngl, the guy's company is deep in ETH development so you can absolutely question whether his "advice" for Bitcoin is even remotely in good faith... but setting that aside, is there anything to the argument itself? Feels more like a thought experiment than a serious proposal tbh. Curious what people think.

There's already a similar thread here btw, about a Zcash co-inventor saying the 21M cap doesn't make sense either. Starting to feel like a pattern lol.

ok here's a cleaner way to think about why the "infinite halvings = infinite supply" logic falls apart... it's basically Zeno's paradox. for one second to pass, first half a second has to pass, then half of what's left, then half of that, forever. sounds like time never actually moves, right? but it does. same thing with Bitcoin's supply: summing 21M divided by 2 to the power of i, for i going from 1 to infinity, gives you a finite number, not an uncapped one. infinitely many steps in a series doesn't automatically mean the result is infinite. the math is pretty straightforward once you see it that way, imo.
