When I say that I don't like tokens or currencies with infinite issuance, someone always comes along and says; Oh, but what about Ethereum?

Well, I don't even have $ETH . I'm quite interested in $ICP , but this infinite issuance reminds me of $OM and its melting down.

Now and then, the community of #OM appears excitedly talking about millions of tokens being burned. And I wonder: If the issuance is infinite, what's the point of burning? Burn 1 trillion, but if you want, you can issue 5 trillion right after. Being eternally at the mercy of the developers' will doesn't work, right?
