it is recorded in the client permanently
but what happens when in a few years will see a new client version of the money supply of 100% per year ? whether the majority will go on this client?
but it will allow greater profits from mining.

If I understand correctly: instead replacing of the client,  emerge two currencies : Bitcoin and inflatcoin, and we will always can become at Bitcoin?
Normally when there is a new currency, the amount of coins that have users is independent of other currencies. (a bit confusing, sorry I not a native Polish)
But when the rise inflatcoin, whether in the blocks will have the information how many coins has Bitcoin address?
Bitcoin and inflatcoin will share addresses?

Yes, we will always can become at Bitcoin. In the blocks will have the information how many coin has Bitcoin address. That is absolutely correct.
