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?

Its not that hard to dump those coins for others on a different exchange and then have coins without a coinbase history

You could still give a beggar a paper wallet which he can then go and redeem for a bit of food
