Technical Discussion / Re: Do you know which coins have max supply and which don't? Easy way to find out
« Last post by yhiaali3 on Today at 10:30:28 PM »Theoretically, even bitcoin code could be changed to apply a total supply change, or a halving calculation change.Yes, you are correct, but this needs the consensus of the entire Bitcoin community to change the code, otherwise a hard fork will occur on Bitcoin if there is no consensus on the change.
The point is that those huge changed in the code could have a very big negative price impact.
As for Ripple, it is a central company that owns XRP and can make the changes it wants without requiring approval or consensus.
