Re:JPMorgan CEO questions 21M BTC cap and Yahoo got it wrong... by galeos on Thursday October 14, 2021 @12:16PM (#28866281)
The source code does limit issuance to 21m coins.

But could Jamie Dimon still be right?

Well, if the network proves not to work without a sizable block subsidy, it could be hard forked, with the forked version of the source code not capping issuance at 21m coins. It's certainly one possible outcome...

Right. At the moment we have this cap but it is possible to change it if majority agrees.
