> Because you don't need to create a token at all to tip creators, inflationary or otherwise. But if you don't do it through inflationary means, then consumers have to actually send tips and or have accounts. (for better or worse) Inflation is a nice way to build incentives into the currency's structure. Further, Hive has no transaction fees as that's funded via inflation as well. I do like the idea of a streaming value for value service wherein I have a wallet that I top up from time to time, but there are many models that are viable here.
