Steady minting of new coins will insure utility in the long run as older coin addresses are lost over time.

Assuming crypto will become humanities standard form of money, how many Bitcoin and other deflationary crypto addresses will be lost in the next 100/250/500 years? As human error, people dying without passing on there crypto keys, coin burning and computer malfunctions, I'd say most.

Steady minting of new coins insures new addresses as older addresses' keys are lost. This will allow future users of the currency to trade in perpetuity, where other coins/tokens will slowly lose their utility as private keys are lost
