Yes they could but it would create a fork and a new coin with that supply schedule. Bitcoin would continue to exist unaffected. Many forks have happened over the years. BCH is one of them.
It’s up to the market to decide if they value the new coin. So far nothing has really challenged Bitcoin effectively.
You should probably learn about how the thing your investing in works. I suggest the book “Inventing Bitcoin” as good primer in the technology and it’s significance.

Comptia website. There are also discounts you can get from various books like Mike Meyers books which I found useful.
The best explanation I’ve read is the short book called Inventing Bitcoin, which appears to be from on kindle right now

First thing that comes to mind for me is the fact that the difficulty of mining is automatically adjusted in order to ensure it remains difficult to mine. Nobody can ever buy so much computing power that they become king shit of fuck mountain for longer than, what, two weeks? That's how often difficulty is adjusted.
I'm not a master of crypto currency and bitcoin, etc. but what I just described is reasonably accurate, and more to the point, it's pretty basic bitcoin knowledge. I think that's why you're just getting told that you don't know what's up and should start reading the linked resources.
An excellent, no bullshit, not too technical book is Yan Pritzker's Inventing Bitcoin . If you're really interested, read that.
And, ya know, ask yourself, "Did I just blow this $1. 2T market cap crypto currency wide open with my simple question?" No, of course you didn't. Access some humility and read the 101 material.
Sounds like you’re not super familiar with how the whole thing works. I highly recommend this fairly short book a friend of mine wrote .. it’s a really great proper intro with very light technical details and no fluff.
I didn't have a programming background before university and I did fast-food jobs to support myself while studying so I didn't have a chance to work in internships or get relevant exp. Was ashamed of my blue-collar background and being a few years older than my peers who already were at a better level than me. I had a bad case of imposter syndrome.
I recommend this book, which has helped me gain the confidence to apply for placement in my final year. https://www.amazon.com/Foot-Door-Getting-Industry-Programmer-ebook/dp/B0813XNFNF . Its pretty short and only $3.24 on Kindle. Well worth reading.
Free today and tomorrow (Thanksgiving)
Foot in the Door: My Self-Taught Journey Becoming a Software Developer
Want to break into the tech industry? Don't have a computer science degree? About four years ago I was in your very shoes. I graduated college with an art degree and quickly realized that "professional artist" was not going to be a viable career path. Design seemed like a possible alternative, but I also found I did not enjoy working directly with clients.
What I did know was that I loved games ever since I was a little girl and I loved to build things and show them off. I applied to some entry level software developer positions, but nobody called me back. I knew I needed more training, a portfolio, connections, something more.
In this book you will learn:
- How to adopt the programmers mindset to tackle difficult coding challenges
- Strategies to help figure out the best coding resources for you
- What kinds of problems you are likely to face at different stages of your journey,
- How to calibrate your bullshit detector to avoid abusive managers
- Ways to solidify your knowledge by teaching and mentoring others
- Coping with imposter syndrome and transition anxiety
- Options for learning to code with limited time at your disposal

I used GDP for my college class. It's all out college course on typing and document production. Worked fine.
When I got done with that one, I purchased Typesy and kinda like it. It has a nice modern overlay, easy to use. Just change font type and size as needed. Default font got me confused, couldn't recognize quickly what letter I should type.
Tried UltraKey 6... The software works and looks like it was made for Windows 2000. Wouldn't recommend.
I had to get >50 wpm so I tried a few. Free web-based are also available, but I didn't see anything I would recommend. Maybe someone knows a good one.
Revisiting this, I wonder if you've read any books on Learning? Specifically I found that books that are a bit removed from traditional classroom learning theory are pretty interesting. Consider reading What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy. or something on the topic of Flow. It's not really what you're asking for, but it might give you some solid insights.
The official Oracle reference is what's worked best for me.
I know it's a reference but i think it explains the material very clearly and in the most logical order i've seen yet. The code examples are also very helpful in understanding what's going on. Might require a bit more effort from your own part but imo there's no better way to learn the language, as well as OOP programming in general, the right way.
I learnt ALOT from this book when I was first starting out in the world of TOR: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tor-Dark-Art-Anonymity-Invisible-ebook/dp/B00XRZW8F0
Sign up for Audible, get the free trial, get that book for free and listen whilst you're doing other stuff. It's only about 3 hours long but is crammed full of useful tips and information.
I am currently in the process of learning Java and I think this one is a must: http://www.amazon.com/Java-Complete-Reference-Ninth-Edition-ebook/dp/B00HSO0X6C Really well explained with examples. Its not cheap but you know where to find it "cheaper" if you can't afford it.
