Fixed amount vs. infinite coins

Fixed mount is dumb, because there will sooner or latter run out of coins.  Infinite supply is solution.  What matres is schedule that is set in stone before first block is mined and stay that way forever. So at any point we exactly know how many coins will be in existence at any time.

What? You do know that you can just add more digits to the Bitcoin in the future to divide it to smaller amounts then satoshi. "Runnin out of coins" isn't a thing.

you cant just add and add digits unless it is legally introduced and so what if btc is dividable ? it will still run out in the long run but it can happen slower because of the increasing value  . there could be a coin with a low supply but im curious if all of its supply is already accumulated amd what happen to them . infinite supply can decrease the value of the coin , why not add only a sufficient amount of supply so that theres still chance for increase .
