Please feel free to join my talk: "21 Million Bitcoin?" When: Tomorrow morning - Saturday, January 3rd - at 10:00 AM GMT (ending at 10:30) I'll walk you through parts of the Bitcoin source code to explain exactly how the supply is capped at ~21 million BTC. We'll also cover why this cap cannot be changed (people have tried before!). To protect your privacy, please avoid sharing your real name, keep your camera turned off, and don't share any personal sensitive information about you. 🙂 Just dial in here:

Yes, thats true, it gives it validity. I guess the closest thing in English language could be the phrase 'reinventing the wheel'. Stop tinkering & if it isn't broken then don't fix it!

I missed the talk, I think the 21m Cap can be changed if the miners decide to do so, right? Can you please repeat why you think the Cap can't be changed?
