Right, so the market cap stays the same but the token price goes up 5% max? That's not what people want but they somehow delude themselves into thinking lowering inflation by 5% = moon.
they wanted to lower it to increase each individual coin's price.
Exactly, and to what end?
Because they think they will make more money, which they clearly will not.
In fact, they will lose money. Guaranteed.
Everyone will, because our inflation is one of the best parts about the network.
