Bitcoin developers can potentially remove Bitcoin’s 21 million supply limit, but miners are unlikely to accept such a change.
Bitcoin (BTC) developers can theoretically remove the 21 million BTC supply limit from the source code, but miners are unlikely to accept such a change, according to one analyst.
The 21 million hard limit of Bitcoin is one of the fundamental principles of the Bitcoin network, which is designed to provide scarcity — the gap between limited resources and unlimited wants.
Bitcoin’s 21 million supply limit is written in the open source code by anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto, and is publicly available on GitHub, though it is not explicitly stated in the code.
