If the miners decided to change, it would change. They control enough of the chain that it wouldn’t matter. Not many people run full nodes.

It seems likely to me that the cap will just be expanded at some point, but that is likely tens of years away and its expansion will likely be equal to or less than the replacement value of lost coins.

Bitcoin? Sure, you can make any number of additional forks of btc with a different cap -- hell, dogecoin is a fork of bitcoin with no cap at all.

But it won't be bitcoin.
