5flags I will accept your answer but it happened with dogecoin it turned into an inflationary currency over night, why was that so?

dogecoin was inflationary in design from the very beginning. There was a discussion at one point (in December and January) about changing this to remove the inflationary design. Generating consensus is nearly impossible, and so the developers decided to leave it the way it was.

It was not "turned into an inflationary currency over night". Instead, it was realized that modifying the core protocol once a consensus based currency has become popular is nearly impossible and so the decision to change it was abandoned.

It might be possible to convince a significant portion of the population to fork off from bitcoin into an inflationary currency. There will remain a commited set of idealists that will refuse to use the new currency, and they will continue to call their currency "bitcoin". It will be up to the users of the forked coin whether they want to create a huge amount of confusion by using the same "bitcoin" name for their altcoin.

Pretty good chance it will happen if bitcoin survives long enough into the future. Given the right leaders and the right circumstances the masses can be manipulated to support anything you can possibly think off. They got manipulated to support hitler. They got manipulated to support a war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Anything is possible.

A significant percentage of the population can be manipulated to support anything, but bitcoin is a consensus system. Hitler did not manipulate 100% of the population to support him. There were many who refused, and who actively acted against him. There was not 100% support for any of the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. All of those wars had individuals who publicly spoke out against them.
