Is There a True Risk Free Rate for Cryptocurrencies?

Inflation rewards do not actually generate any true economic value. They just shift the balance of who owns the marked cap of the currency itself.

And indefinitly, where ordoes argue that it's taking deflationary rewards without inflation rewards would essentially be taking a risk-free rate in this case.
