Yet you posted several links which made that specific correlation, to which I was responding.
Math cannot prove how much coin is “lost”, and even if it was provable that the amount of coin lost converges to the amount produced, it is of no consequence - for the reasons I’ve already pointed out. The amount of market production has no impact on market price, just as it does not with any other good.
The reason to object to perpetual issuance is the impact on censorship resistance, not on price.
