Ok, compare the inflation of lisk with Ethereum:
The maximum amount of ETH will be 103 862 556 ETH year 5189!!!
and 159 918 400 LSK year 2025
Are you trolling me or are you really utterly incapable of proper research and data processing?
First of all the number of coins are meaningless. The only thing matters is inflation percentages.
How about you take a look at that? But please don't do it the way you usually do, but do it right instead and compare first, second, etc yeasr for both coins not as lisk now and as etherum now.
Also who cares how much ETH or Lisk will be in 5189? Are you serious? This is crpyto nobody cares about anything else than what will happen next week.
Why you so stupid and not understand elementary things?

It seems you got the % inflation of Lisk right, here you can see the % inflation of Ethereum:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/150B9eytmjZ642tYD0jSdFZQHldmk7VG5Wm3KVctydpY/pubhtmlLet's compare them (no guarantee, please check facts yourself!):
Year Lisk Ethereum 1st 15,77% 19.80%
2nd 10,90% 21.20%
3rd 7,37% 17.41%
4th 4,58% 14.75%
5th 2,19% 12.79%
6th 2,14% 11.28%
7th 2,10% 10.09%
8th 2,05% 9.12%
9th 2,01% 8.31%
10th 1,97% 7.64%
Additionally, it's important that miners generally sell a bigger % in order to break even. Delegates don't have to do that, they can use this % to increase the ecosystem and therefore the value of the token. I'm not attacking the Ethereum inflation nor say that the Lisk inflation is superior. They are different economic systems and I think both are solved just fine.
Important! This all comes down to the honesty of the delegates and the ecosystem voting with their LSK for the best delegates. So at the end nobody can condemn any delegate, because the network voted him in for whatever reason. So if someone is selling this is totally fair.
For the Lisk Foundation Balances; We don't vote with the adviser and bounty accounts. The foundation owned account might be used to vote for individuals like ambassadors.
For my founder's rewards; Yes, these are our privately owned LSK. Therefore, we vote with them as we see fit. If you check carefully I'm currently voting for 32 delegates who are
ALL highly active. In my next round I will reduce the total even more for people who contribute something concrete.
However, now the most important fact. Over time the foundation balances will go down (paying out bounties, compensating advisers, giving incentives to employees, paying for bills in LSK) and the same should be true for me as well (diversifying OTC at specific price ranges with a very long-term mentality). Additionally, due to the inflation the impact of these accounts will become less and less. That means we are gravitating towards a more fair and decentralised system with time. For us Lisk was born with v0.5.0 and the foundation, everything before that was just a settlement.
Edit: Forgot one thing, the hashrate of Ethereum is growing fast. That means blocks are found faster which means that the inflation actually is higher than how it was intended to be. Same goes for Bitcoin where the average block time is 10 minutes, but I think the design choice was 12 minutes. (Correct me if I'm wrong on the Bitcoin part)
