Token supply and distribution
Looking at the number of tokens created, there was generally no rhyme or reason for the values chosen. The standard default in the early days seemed to be 100 million tokens, which was a nice round number. Others preferred a billion as a round number. The supply ranged from 2.6 million to 2.7 quadrillion:
