So there are 21 million total because that is how it was coded. Will it be possible to increase the supply or even make it infinite if someone was able to crack the code?
Bitcoin is what it's today because of its transparency and the blockchain tech that has come to stay. The day its total supply is manipulated to add more, that will be the death of Bitcoin and that's why any success at this is called a fork. That way people don't get to see that it's Bitcoin that's manipulated but rather that a fork has occurred from Bitcoin. I think it there's any manipulation that can be done in this guise, that should be on Dogecoin. We need that infinite supply to be capped to a number.
