The coins are infinitely divisible. No infinite supply necessary.

I'm talking about mining rewards moving to transaction fees only, which has nothing to do with what you're talking about.

No you weren't. I think you need to read your own post again:

I don't want to be called Keynesian as much as anyone else, but I foresee the amount of coins lost per year if cryptocurrency ever becomes mainstream to be a huge number. People will lose passwords or die all the time with encrypted wallets and those coins will be lost forever. The number lost per year is going to be at least 1% in my opinion, so having a coin supply that always emits new coins by a minimum of 1-2% wouldn't be a big deal.

The amount of coins lost is completely meaningless. I cannot make this any clearer.
