Monero's inflation through tail emission is designed to go on forever. Starting from mid-2022, Monero implemented a perpetual tail emission with a fixed block reward of 0.6 XMR per block. This results in a continuous issuance of approximately 157,680 XMR annually, indefinitely.
That same guy in a few years won't even remember this conversation and will be saying that tail emission is good for everyone. Basically a cult, always has been.
