So, what I'd like to argue is that the money for the fund will come from the BCH holders and no one else:

situation, may be a better use of them.

Now, about the dev fund proposal.
The proposal is that a percent of the block reward is shifted to
go for development. So, the coins that are minted every block remain the same, but some amount of them don't go for security anymore. It goes for development, which, in the current
security, we pay with newly minted coins. This coin minting increases the supply and thus devalues the previously existing coins a bit. **Holders of BCH** know about this coming

The proposal is that a percent of the block reward is shifted to
network to be popular enough that it can get enough revenue from transacting users. Thus, the minting schedule.
So, let's recap. Until we have enough transaction fees to pay for
security, we pay with newly minted coins. This coin minting increases the supply and thus devalues the previously existing coins a bit. **Holders of BCH** know about this coming

The end-game of Bitcoin is to have a limited number of coins, meaning that no more coins be created, ever!
Right now that's not the case - every block found mints 12.5 new coins in
