What if someday Bitcoin Foundation votes to remove 21M limitation?

[meowdea]

Hm... let me guess... nothing will happen, I suppose

Then the world would laugh and quietly ignore such nonsense.

But worry not, such craziness won't occur. It's not under anyone's control except consensus of the community.

Even if the core devs vote to remove the 21M limit, it still won't make it so.

hopefully it will not happen, but if what happened was bad possibilities that will arise.

Bitcoin Foundation would never do such a disruptive thing.
Anyways, you would need to fork bitcoin, and you cant do that without atleast 51% hashrate, therefore bitcoin foundation alone cant do any major things without comunity backing that up.

cheers

A hard fork can be done with any amount of hashing.  You don't need 51%.  You are confused. 

The hard fork coin would need to be accepted by the miners in order for it to have any kind of security.

Unlikely to happen. If it does, bitcoin holders can just sell it off to move to another coin.

Wont the exchange rate go through the floor?

Im slightly curious. If they do "vote" on that, how will the apply the change? If its an update, cant we vote not to update or something? I have never seen something like that. (Dogecoin did, but I dont know how that works).

Fuck the foundation, they have no authority

My fucking god. The Bitcoin Foundation has no power. Realize that.

This guy nailed it on page 1.  Seven pages later we are back to this. 

Maybe a better question is, what if Ghash.io votes to remove the 21 M limitation!

Death to Bitcoin foundation and ghash
