Hi guys I'm just wondering is bitcoin creators able to lift or increase the limit of the number of bitcoins which can ever be produced(21,000,000)?

When you answer, if possible please also let  me know how sure are you about the answer.  I need some advise on this. Thanks.

The correct answer is, "Yes". Not only can this number be increased, I believe that sometime in the future it will be increased.

Why do you think it will be increased in the future? I'm sure some people out there would not want to buy into bitcoin based on believing that alone. Would you be ok if it was increased in the future?

I think Gavin's answer would be "never to rule out anything regarding future development."

Increasing the cap could be a good thing for a variety of reasons. It would depend on the circumstances at that point in time.
