Wu Blockchain(@WuBlockchain):Zcash Co-Founder Suggests Bitcoin Move Away From Fixed 21M Supply Cap and Grow 4% Annually Zcash co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson said on X that he questions the rationale behind Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply cap. He argued that private keys will continue to be lost over time and that, in the long run, all private keys will eventually be lost. Ben-Sasson said he supports a monetary policy with an “absolute cap,” but suggested adjusting the strategy, such as setting a fixed maximum issuance rate, for example 4% per year, to keep circulating supply aligned with human growth and ensure sufficient liquidity.
