at 0.046 BTC, if 7k Coins are produced during POW, that would be 322 BTC ($74k) or value the entire moneysupply at $1.6 million. I could see why he would remove it because it would be for the most part unsustainable.
Then why did he write this in the first place?

Looks pretty sketchy for me.
Nah, just wants to keep a high price but better to wait until after POW to figure out a marketcap.
