We all know Bill Gates the owner of microsoft is the most richest man in the world. Total wealth of $80 Billion US dollars. While satoshi nakamoto the owner and founder of bitcoin only have $1 billion US dollars, Why he cant just generate indefinite amount of bitcoins for him and exchange it to real cash, right? Any thoughts?
Hhahaha , this can't be real....
The moment Satoshi would do this (the problem is that he won't quite be able to do it, but let's forget about it) the value of bitcoins would plummet to...guess what 0.
This is the basic selling point of bitcoin , limited supply.
Once we mess with this it's just like printing fiatRight now top miners are keeping silence on this matter
But what we can do if they decide that the time has come to lift the bar? Bitcoin will certainly crash on this rumor alone, but then they will certainly backpedal on this issue. After a few iterations of this process people will get used to the frictions as well as be ready to accept the changes and not give a fuck anymore about Bitcoin cap or whether it remains the same. As the proverb goes, a little can go a long way while small strokes fell great oaks
