Bitcoin is less of a currency and more of an asset class. Finite supply is a fundamental feature of Bitcoin. No compromise on it will be accepted.
Exactly! The 21million capped supply of Bitcoin is its saving grace. I bet you bitcoin won't remain the same once as little as 100 more is added to it. It will nose dive to its death. It's a trust thing. Hodlers and investors don't take such things easily. They feel betrayed. We have seen coins suffer for this additional supply and we have seen coins appreciate once unsold are burnt after ICOs. Bitcoin won't be any different.

I agree. Leave it as it is. Some coins are even burning supplies in order to boost value so adding supply isn't a good idea. If that's even possible. Having a finite number in circulation may one day bring bitcoin's value well above the all time high especially when the last satoshi is mined.
