Satoshi wanted to make hard money that was inflation free. The Bitcoin white paper was 8 pages with 8 references on 10/31… 12 sections Then revised March 2009 and added “The incentive can also be funded with transaction fees. If the output value of a transaction is less than its input value, the difference is a transaction fee that is added to the incentive value of the block containing the transaction. Once a predetermined number of coins have entered circulation, the incentive can transition entirely to transaction fees and be completely inflation free.”
