The same “lie down and hold out to the end” approach by our construction-uncle in web3 leads to a completely different outcome. With SOL, ETH, and DOGE, there’s no hard cap on total supply, so the long-term threat of inflation and dilution remains; whereas with BTC, LTC, RVN, and ZIL, the total supply is permanently locked, so new tokens can’t be created out of thin air.
Also be extra wary: some coins have theoretical total-supply caps, but the contracts still contain minting loopholes (e.g., ONE). Asset dilution risk therefore still exists. Having a maximum supply doesn’t mean there’s zero risk—FIL and AVAX have institutional unlocks that keep coming in, which will also continue to weigh on the market for the long term.
