Danke. Tail emission is an attack on Bitcoin. Bitcoin has 21 Million Bitcoin fixed supply. Tail emissions on Monero will inflate and double its supply in 117 years, tripple it in 234 years and so on. Thats not good at all. Bitcoin will have 0 inflation in 117 years. Have you seen the Bitcoin's hashrate recently? Its ATH. Monero had its second successful 51% attack. "What happened technically: An 18-block "reorg" (reorganization) hit the Monero network - meaning that 18 blocks the entire network believed to be valid and permanent were suddenly discarded and replaced by an alternative version of history. To put this in perspective, reorganizations of more than 2-3 blocks are extremely rare in established blockchain networks. The financial outcome: 55 confirmed double spends (the same money spent twice) and 115 transactions completely invalidated. While we cannot know whether these were merchants, exchanges, or individuals transacting, this matters little in the face of real double spending scenarios - someone lost real money."
