I don't see how such "overwhelming support" would ever materialise. Anyone with eyes can see what effect unbridled money printing has done to the fiat economy, so I don't see why anyone would be willing to jeopardise introducing such a practice here when what we have works so well. Perhaps "mathematically limited" is an incorrect way to phrase it, I can't really argue with that one. But the 21 million cap is absolutely considered a
fundamental principle.
A fundamental principle! Thats Brilliant yes thank you thats what I was looking for. And yeah I agree with you I'm just playing devils advocate here so chill out guys.
Another solution to a collapsing mining community would be to periodically change the proof of work.
But when someone asks you about the 21 million cap tell them its a "fundamental principle" and not a mathematically limited law or some shit because thats just a fairy tail.
