What if the late adopters become a mass majority and all want to increase the 21 million cap (which primarily hurts early adopters) and fork off? Will the early adopters (2008-2018) stick with the original bitcoin with lets say 1/10th the hash rate of the new inflation coin or will they succumb to the market and use the coin that is widely accepted and now more valuable than their non inflation coin that only early adopters care about?
Question is, why would a majority of newcommers want to increase the cap? what benefit would it bring them?
Maybe he/she is looking to lower the price of bitcoin. Or just wanted to avoid the scalability problem right now in bitcoin. But that would'nt be happening.
