StarkWare CEO Calls Bitcoin’s 21M Supply Cap ‘Meaningless,’ Proposes 4% Annual Inflation

Eli Ben-Sasson, co-founder and CEO of StarkWare, has publicly dismissed Bitcoin's 21 million coin supply cap as meaningless. He urged the crypto community to abandon the current fixed-supply model in favor of a 4% annual issuance.

The statement has drawn mixed reactions from the community. Ben-Sasson’s proposal directly challenges one of Bitcoin's core tenets — its absolute scarcity — and has sparked debate over the long-term sustainability of the network's monetary policy.
