$DOGE An additional 5.256 billion coins are issued each year, and that figure hasn’t changed since 2015. The debate around it hasn’t let up either.
One side sees it as ongoing dilution: with a base of 156.6 billion coins, the annual issuance works out to about 3.4% of the total. If the price doesn’t rise, that’s effectively a decline. The other side focuses on the proportion: the same 5.256 billion coins are added, but the denominator grows each year, so new issuance makes up a smaller share of the total over time.
I’m more interested in the other side of the equation. The fixed reward of 10,000 coins per block doesn’t adjust with the price, but miners’ revenue is directly tied to it. That’s why the cost of the DOGE chain in merged mining gets recalculated so often. Supply changes on a yearly timescale, while the cost line shifts with market conditions day by day. The volatility we see on the charts mainly comes from the latter. #Dogecoin
DYOR, just my personal observation.
