The 21 million maximum supply cap is one of Bitcoin's biggest strengths — the fact that no one can print more than that limit. Removing the supply cap goes against one of Bitcoin's strengths so I totally doubt the masses would support this in the first place even if some people are for it.
Also, screw Bitcoin dot com.
When you see the source of the news, then you are not at all surprised that someone is even discussing it as something that should be questioned at all. Although we who do understand some things a little better understand why that 21 million is so important, we should also keep in mind that there are those who would very much like to see that number change to more for various reasons.
Some would want it because then the price would drop drastically and then they could probably buy one whole BTC and then they would wonder why the price would never go up again - some others want it just so that one of their crypto kings would ascend to the throne and to profit.
In fact, there are many so-called
Bitcoins (forks) that have a much higher max supply, but there is no need to say how successful they were with these changes.
