The whitepaper did not specify any emission schedule or halvings.
Consider this scenario: If halvings happened every 2100 blocks instead of 210.000 (producing 90% of supply in the very first month) would you still consider it fair?
I think most would agree to call it instamine.
So 2100 is clearly not fair but somehow 210.000 is? What about 21.000? Fair-ish?
Halvings introduce distribution imbalances and they are not necessary part of the system.
Don't get me wrong: I think bitcoin is one of the most fairly distributed forms of money, but it's not perfect. The 'bitcoin not fair' narrative has some valid points.

You exchange fingerprints in-person so you can later attest that the signature corresponds with the person you met IRL.
Have you ever been in Argentina? There's a 5% dip here every single week (and, unlike bitcoin, it never rebounds back)
There is no free lunch. And the cost of losing access to your data can be much worse.
I can't fathom what sort of idiots just want to park their spare million on obscure risky assets instead of letting a certified professional handle it. Blind faith and money laundering.

the airplane mode preference isn't loaded until the system has decrypted (system) data, so depending on device there may be a brief period in early bootup where the modem is enabled
Yes, the new government diminished subsidies and price controls.
Bus rides in Buenos Aires (which are heavily subisidized) went from ARS 25 (USD 0.02, ) to ARS 260 (USD 0,25) and gas went up from USD 0,25/litre to USD 0,80/litre. So everything is still dirt cheap af but not as much as before.
Compare that to São Paulo's R$4.4 (usd 0,9) bus rides and R$5.75/L (usd 1.15) gas prices.
