My assertion was related to 'holding fees', not inflation. It was as follows: I don't want what I hold to be confiscated periodically via a 'holding fees'. I am very confident about what I want.

I then made an extrapolation that it could then follow that other people will want what I want. Maybe it is ungrounded because there is no way for me to know other people's preferences. But the fact that there is no *voluntary* system in which people adhere to such rules is telling. If there was real demand for such rules, maybe there would've already been a fork with those rules. I wouldn't mind if there is a fork like that that exists. If people want to create a different version of Bitcoin with those rules and use it, they are free to do so. I will not use it. That much I know.

Even in the case of inflation, its *predictable* supply and issuance is one of the many crucial reasons I hold and use Bitcoin. This policy is disinflationary and has not been changed. It is my preference to want such a system. It has also been the preference of many others, clearly. If there is demand for one that has perpetual inflation (say for example one that doesn't have BIP42), I do not mind people forking off and using that version. I will not use it.
