Could you elaborate on cryptocurrencies that do not have a defined maximum supply? Many coins, such as Bitcoin, have a hard-coded limit on the total number of coins that can be mined. However, there are also some coins that do not have such a limitation, allowing for an unlimited supply. What are some examples of these coins, and how does their lack of a maximum supply impact their economic model? Do they rely on other mechanisms, such as transaction fees, to maintain their value? Understanding the nuances of these coins is crucial for investors seeking to diversify their portfolios.
