Why not 1 bitcoin…

Why not 1million or 100million bitcoins, why not 21 billion, or trillion?

Why not 14 million?
Satoshi wanted Bitcoin to be rare, it's as if he knew the price boom would happen.

I guess it was a complete accident..n randomly he got to that amount..when he though 21 mil was enough.
