Sure it is: Never change a running system.

Paper fiat, the dollar et al are running system and they're running straight into the ground for the very same exact reason as this alt-coin: MASSIVE inflation.

Why would any alt coin do that when the correction can be made with one very simple and FREE code update.

This flawed logic is beyond me. I'm glad a few alts I have invested in have taken my advice and have changed their subsidy (inflation) and max supply caps (dilution).

Now when demand comes back they will be huge beneficiaries from the much lower supplies.

What I don't understand: why do you want to alter coins, that are conceived in a special way? Edit: Do you want to be them all the same?
I don't see anything wrong with a huge amount of coins. Can be spread more broadly to give a better base of coin-holders, which is good in the long run for the stability of a coin. Furthermore, it is relatively irrelevant, how many coins are issued for the value of the units of paper fiat. You just have to own more, to get the same value (in paper fiat (sic!)). In the long run, I don't consider coins with more units worse than those with less (because it all depends on how many you own and KEEP, i.e. not exchanging for other coins/fiat). If it would matter, we should issue a kind of One-Coin-Currency (OCC-coin), consisting of only one coin to be mined over an infinite timeframe. What do you think? With your logic, this one is priceless - hence the highest value to hunt for it, but at the same time can be owned only by one person alone - after eternity and a day ... What's the worth of such a currency ...? Roll Eyes

Edit:
Mooncoin has a fixed amount of 384.4bn coins - equalling the distance of the Moon from the Earth in millimeters. The coin-production in huge amounts is only taking place at the beginning, i.e.: now/over the first year. So if you get your stake now and keep it, there is a good chance to be a lucky one later on ...
I'll paste the links to Wekkels excellent graphics/charts - illustrating the production rate and inflation - here once again:

FYI: we are already in the there mentioned Apollo period and about half of the "extra" ~25bn MOON of this phase have already been mined until now - which leads us to the interesting question, why the price is not dropping significantly with this massively increased coin-production over these few days?
