but if we win, you'll still have the option of creating your own fork without it.
no, you are the ones who want to change things.
if bitcoin is changed the way you want it to, i have no choice, you force me to accept your rules, even if i don't want to.
that's the whole point.
in bitcoin there is no way to tell, if coins are lost or not
if you want a way to tell if/how many/which coins are lost, you have to create a fork.
if i buy a BitBill (or some similar "offline-bitcoins") today, you want them to become worthless in 20/100/1000 years and i can't think of any reason to do that.
you want me to send my coins from address A to address B every 20something years and again i dont get it, what difference does it make? none
it's my money, i can do whatever i want with it.
if i wanna keep it offline for the next 50years and give it to my grandchildren, that's up to me,
if i wanna destroy it, i can and there's nothing you could do about it.
everythings fine as it is, if you want to change it, create a fork, don't force others to play your rules.
