Currency supply
Unlike deflationary cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin), there is no limit to how many Dogecoins can be produced. This puts Dogecoin in the same league as other inflationary coins. According to the current production schedule, approximately 98 billion coins will have been released by January 2015, when block 600,000 is mined. Thereafter, approximately 5.2 billion more coins will be produced per year, in perpetuity. This represents an inflation rate of 5.3 % (in 2015), that will forever decrease though (e.g. in 2025 yearly inflation rate will be 3.4 %, in 2035 2.5 %, etc...). During December 2013 and January 2014, Dogecoin's developers discussed in public forums whether this should be changed,[22][79] and, on February 2, 2014, Dogecoin founder Jackson Palmer announced that the supply of coins would remain uncapped.[80]
