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.
