#BTC 21-million supply limit is one of its most sacred rules โ a core part of why itโs called โdigital gold.โ Itโs hardcoded into the protocol by Satoshi Nakamoto, ensuring scarcity, trust, and a predictable monetary policy.
Yes, in theory, the cap could be changed โ itโs just code, after all. But in practice, it would face almost impossible hurdles:
Community Resistance โ The Bitcoin ecosystem fiercely guards its scarcity.
Loss of Trust โ Increasing the cap could trigger panic selling and destroy confidence.
Hard Fork Risk โ Any change would likely split the network into two competing coins.
Consensus Challenge โ Developers, miners, and node operators would all need to agree.
History shows even smaller changes, like the 2017 block size debate, caused massive division. Altering Bitcoinโs supply would be far more controversial โ and likely rejected.
The bottom line? While itโs technically possible, Bitcoinโs hard cap is more than just a number โ itโs a promise. And the community intends to keep it.
