can the 21m limit on btc ever be change?
all it would take is for miners to agreee to do so right? can change anything they want?
hmmmmmm

You're fucking retarded.
Jackson Green
why tho?
isnt that what forks are, miners deciding on the protocol?
Cooper Gray
No, software developers make the fork. Miners support the network if they want.
If the limit was changed it would be bitcoin in name only and people might not mine it, let alone use it for transactions.

so it could, enough miners would just have to agree.
then the exchanges just go with the one with most hashrate.
Samuel Cook
Sure.
But people might not want to adopt the new fork, even if it has the most hashrate. Then it has no value.
Oliver Walker
No be ause user nodes are more important than miners. Miners are just payed security guards by the users. You can see from uasf that user and nodes can refuse blocks from miners. Thus miners mining for no reason. Only way the 21m limit changes is if there is consenus in userbase and node count. Not miners. Users are the deciding factor, running software at home and no1 tells you which software to run.

There's no profit in wasting hashpower on an invalid chain. Pow is only used for determining the longest valid chain. If two valid blocks are found at the same height, then eventually one chain will be longer and the other block gets orphaned. That's all that pow does, there's no social contract that says "we'll change the rules if there's another chain with different rules and more pow", or else bch would be dead.

The current btc chain would still exist exactly as is. A fork creates a new chain. You would keep your current bitcoins, of which there will only ever be 21mil. So, no.
