> I wonder if Bitcoin will ever be forced to bend towards an inflationary monetary policy controlled by government like entities? It is code and code and always be changed. If it is so successful it becomes necessary to co-opt it into the existing system.... weird stuff.

You can change the code, but it's up to the miners to actually run that code. Not saying it's impossible, but that's a big ask for a controversial change like that. Maybe someday if the mining is even more centralized than it currently is.
