title_body: Why is there a 45 Billion coin cap for ADA? Really... nobody in more than a year was able to explain me this is a rational way.
  Please... I beg you, why 45B and not 45M or 21M or 45.8B ? What's the reasoning behind that?
  PS: Engineer, nerd, Studio TD in a video game company, I cannot have a proper life if things doesn't make proper sense xD
  Best,

upvoted_answer: Charles Hoskinson stated that it is a fairly arbitrary number in one of his AMAs.
  He jokingly explained,
  
  It's because 44 999 999 999 was not enough, and 45 000 000 001 was too much.
  
  With 1 Million Lovelaces per ADA, there is plenty to go around for the foreseeable future.
