Average Joe: "I don’t trust Bitcoin because it about 7 lines of code to change the quantity from 21 million to 21 trillion." Congratulations. You've discovered that Bitcoin is software. Groundbreaking. Here's what you missed: changing the number in the code is trivial. Getting the network to run your code is the entire game. And to raise the cap, you'd need every node runner and every miner to voluntarily slit their own throat. To vote to make the very asset they hold worth less. They pointed at the dollar. "It's inevitable, just like the Fed." That comparison doesn't save their argument. It buries it. The dollar was debased by decree. A handful of men in a marble building, printing at 2 a.m., and the debasement flows first to whoever stands closest to the spigot. You never got a vote. You got the bill. Bitcoin is the opposite machine. Nobody can inflate it at your expense, because the only way to inflate it is for everyone to agree to inflate their own holdings at the same instant. The moment the 21 million promise cracks, confidence evaporates, the bid vanishes, and every coin, including Saylor's, including the miners', becomes worth less in minutes. 17 years. Not one successful attempt. Because you can't bribe a network into cutting its own throat. The dollar asks nobody's permission to steal from you. Bitcoin requires your permission to steal from you. Who's voting yes?
