    It's strange a bit that 88% of all Bitcoin were mined in 11 years. And now we have more than a century to mine rest 12%.

    It is better than the shitcoins, which usually have a premine of anywhere from 25% to 75%. Bitcoin never had a pre-mine and it's inventor (Satoshi Nakamoto) never benefited from it. The decreasing mining reward was introduced, in order to encourage Bitcoin mining in the early period. Without it, the hash rate would have gone below sustainable levels.
