Too many people think that the supply of #BTC    issued by the #Bitcoin    network can be increased.

This isn't as easy as you may think.

If you want to change the supply of BTC, you need to convince EVERYONE running Bitcoin to change the code.

Changing the code means that anyone previously running the software will have to switch the new version of code.

When some people run the old code and others run the new code, we see a "fork" with multiple versions of the software being run.

This has happened before, but all forks have failed miserably.

Anyone running Bitcoin software today (and in the future) will likely be a holder of Bitcoin.

They will likely continue to run the previous version of the software (with the original 21,000,000 supply cap), because increasing the supply of Bitcoin will have a direct impact on THEIR holdings.

If the number of coins increases, the value of previously issued coins is diluted.

Now think of this logically...

Would you willingly let someone steal from you? I wouldn't.
