Bitcoin's 21M supply cap debate heats up as experts clash over future miner incentives.

Bitcoin pioneers Adam Back and Peter Todd are debating the fixed 21 million Bitcoin supply limit. Todd warns that when block rewards end around 2140, miners relying solely on transaction fees might reorganize blocks for profit, proposing a small permanent reward called "tail emission" to maintain network security. Back opposes changing the supply cap, seeing it as a threat to Bitcoin's core economic principle. The debate highlights ongoing concerns about Bitcoin's long-term security, but any change would require broad consensus and a hard fork, with the current 21 million cap still intact.
