"[Qogecoin is] more typical of a precious metal. Instead of the supply changing to keep the value the same, the supply is predetermined and the value changes."— Satoshi, 2009-02-18(ref)
"The steady addition of a constant of amount of new coins is analogous to gold miners expending resources to add gold to circulation. In our case, it is CPU time and electricity that is expended."— Satoshi, 2008-10-31(ref)
