Dogecoin has a hard cap on total supply like Bitcoin's 21 million. Answer true or false.
Answer
false
- hard cap
- A finite maximum total number of coins that can ever be issued; a fixed issuance amount per block without an issuance end date is not a hard cap.

- dogecoin.com, dogecoin core / dogecoin.com documentation: block reward is a fixed 10,000 doge per block indefinitely (no halving-driven asymptote to a capped total), so total supply has no maximum and grows forever, unlike bitcoin's hard-capped 21,000,000 btc., dogecoin core / dogecoin.com documentation: dogecoin removed its original 100 billion coin cap in 2014 and has an uncapped, perpetual block reward (10,000 doge per block fixed since 2015), issuing roughly 5 billion new doge per year indefinitely. this contrasts with bitcoin's protocol-enforced fixed hard cap of 21 million btc., dogecoin core / dogecoin.com documentation: dogecoin's block reward was fixed at a flat 10,000 doge per block starting at block 600,000 (2015), with no terminal block or supply ceiling, so total supply increases indefinitely and has no hard cap, unlike bitcoin's capped 21,000,000 btc supply., dogecoin core / dogecoin.com documentation: dogecoin's protocol has no maximum supply cap. after the initial fixed block rewards period, dogecoin moved to a fixed inflationary reward of 10,000 doge per block indefinitely (implemented in dogecoin core since v1.14, auxpow era), so total supply grows forever and never asymptotes to a fixed ceiling, unlike bitcoin's capped 21,000,000 btc schedule., dogecoin core client source/docs (github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin) and coinmarketcap/coingecko doge asset pages: dogecoin issues a fixed 10,000 doge block reward indefinitely with no halving-to-zero and no maximum supply cap, unlike bitcoin's enforced 21m cap., dogecoin core project documentation (dogecoin.com and the dogecoin core github repository, dogecoin/dogecoin) and the dogecoin whitepaper/faq: dogecoin removed its original 100-billion-coin cap in 2014 and instead issues a fixed 10,000 doge per block reward with no maximum total supply, in contrast to bitcoin's hard-capped 21,000,000 btc., dogecoin core protocol design: unlike bitcoin, dogecoin has no maximum supply. its block reward schedule (fixed at 10,000 doge per block since 2015, per the dogecoin core source and project documentation at dogecoin.com) makes it an inflationary, uncapped currency., dogecoin core protocol documentation / dogecoin.com faq: dogecoin has no maximum supply cap. block rewards were fixed at 10,000 doge per block starting in 2015, after an initial randomized-reward period, meaning issuance continues indefinitely (~5.256 billion new doge per year) rather than halving to a 21,000,000-style hard cap like bitcoin., dogecoin core source and documentation (dogecoin/dogecoin repository, src/validation.cpp block subsidy logic) and the dogecoin whitepaper/faq at dogecoin.com: since the 2014 auxpow switch, dogecoin pays a fixed block reward of 10,000 doge per block with no halving and no maximum supply ceiling, unlike bitcoin's 21,000,000 btc hard cap enforced by its halving schedule., dogecoin core source code / developer documentation (github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin) and dogecoin.com faq: dogecoin's block reward schedule after block 600,000 pays a fixed 10,000 doge per block with no halving and no supply ceiling, so total supply grows indefinitely (~5.256 billion new doge per year) rather than being capped at a fixed maximum like bitcoin's 21,000,000 btc., dogecoin core source/docs (dogecoin/dogecoin github, src/validation.cpp getblocksubsidy and doc/release-notes) and the dogecoin whitepaper/faq at dogecoin.com: dogecoin's block reward schedule halves until block 600000 and then switches to a fixed 10,000 doge per block forever, giving it a perpetual, uncapped (inflationary) total supply with no maximum ceiling, unlike bitcoin's fixed 21,000,000 btc cap., dogecoin core source/whitepaper (dogecoin/dogecoin github, src/validation.cpp getblocksubsidy) and the dogecoin foundation faq (dogecoin.com), which document a fixed per-block reward (10,000 doge/block since 2015) with no maximum total supply, unlike bitcoin's halving schedule that caps supply at 21 million btc, dogecoin dogepedia, ‘can you put a cap on dogecoin?’ https://dogecoin.com/dogepedia/faq/putting-a-cap-on-dogecoin/ (states that dogecoin issuance has no end date)., dogecoin foundation dogepedia faq (https://dogecoin.com/dogepedia/faq/putting-a-cap-on-dogecoin/), corroborated by coinbase dogecoin page (https://www.coinbase.com/price/dogecoin)., dogecoin github repo (dogecoin/dogecoin) and docs: 2014 protocol change removed the original 100b cap, replaced with fixed per-block subsidy, no halving, no max supply. corroborated by investopedia and coinmarketcap 'dogecoin' entries, which state dogecoin has no maximum supply unlike bitcoin's fixed 21,000,000 cap., dogecoin official faq (dogecoin.com/faq): dogecoin has no maximum supply;
