You know 21M is arbitrary? Doesnt even appear in the whitepaper? That 42M could have been decreed just as easily means... Its... Fiat!

Dude. Wot. You're making no sense and talking backwards.

1 Big Mac = 1 Big Mac. If the supply goes up, 1 still = 1.

"everything else can be produced if market demands. Try producing more bitcoin."

More Bitcoin is being produced as we speak. It pretends to be produced by, but its fiat creation is only conditioned on, breaking encryption for god knows who. Literally, no one even knows who developed the code for the largest distributed supercomputer ever dedicated to breaking encryption.

But I digress. Really its Bitcoin that is created out of thin air, and the Big Mac that is assembled from preexisting physical matter.

And other goods can have a fixed rate of supply. Land, for example, I hear they're not making any more. Unlike Bitcoin, which is being created while I read you saying it "can't be" lol. Its the only type of "thing/nothing" that IS created out of thin air: Fiat.

Oh, that 21M? Its not even in the Satoshi whitepaper. Its not sacred text. Its just an arbitrary limit that you pretend can't be raised. Unlike Nostr, there's a central code base with core developers, 6 (now 5) guys with write access to the Bitcoin core.

Fork, shmork. That's a different question entirely. I'm talking about Bitcoin core here, and what it really is and isn't. That there's something to fork tells you its centralized at the protocol layer. Centralized at the ledger (distributed, not decentralized). Created out of thin air (as a reward doesnt mean its not out of thin air).

Keep your digital reward tokens and your fixed pie betting pool.
