Dad: Son, how do you know Bitcoin has a hard cap of 21M BTC?
Son: Hi Dad,
It's defined in Bitcoin's source code.
Dad: The question is: How do you know that hard cap will stay 21M?
Son: The answer is: Because of game theory.
Who would want to join a Bitcoin chain with modified hard cap?
That would no longer be Bitcoin.
