Hey, I wasn't saying you are wrong, in fact its very normal to use the "inflation" term in crypto for issued tokens. So both interpretations are technically correct. For ex, how the peakd curation pool works:
(From whitepaper)
V.6. Distributing Rewards
The reward pool is used to distribute funds to those who actively participate in creation and/or curation of content.
The funding for the reward pool is composed out of 65% of the inflation.
But I think its something like around 8% per year, that incentivates production and escalability... I think it isn't much that would dilute everyone... Keep it up the awsome work!!
