You seem to be forgetting the hard forks of bitcoin. https://www.investopedia.com/tech/history-bitcoin-hard-forks/ https://www.investopedia.com/tech/history-bitcoin-hard-forks...

New things are being created all the time that increase that wealth. It seems reasonable to be able to adjust the amount of currency in circulation to reflect that.
