because a new chain will be issuing more coins, inflating the limit of 21m sats
Disagree. They wouldn't be sats, they'd be whatever the people using the chain want to call them.
This is the difference between whether you think it is the chain history that makes it Bitcoin or the consensus rules.
reply
if you don't care to use hard money, no one can force you to. bitcoin is not just the consensus rules or a "blockchain technology". it is a hard limit and network effect that cannot be repeated.

This is one of the points I find most interesting: is there some special about btc and how it got started, such that no other chain, even using the same consensus rules, can ever duplicate it?
reply
yes. first mover advantage and immaculate conception.
