In one sense, the supply of Bitcoin is increasing with each block, but it is in a very different sense than with fiat currencies, cryptos, or even gold. None of these have a known and reliable expectation of the final supply cap.

Because of this, we know that there will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin, and the block subsidy is merely ensuring a decentralized, equitable, and predictable distribution of that fixed supply over time.

Another major difference with inflationary currencies is the rate of inflation can be increased. Money printer can go BRRRRR faster, crypto devs can arbitrarily update the code, and gold miners can work harder.
