I'm curious to understand the reasoning behind making XRP a fixed money supply. From my own understanding, it seems that monetary policy needs to be somewhat elastic in order to keep inflation in check. From what I have read, Ripples are limited to a supply of 100 billion. Right now that seems like a huge number, but as we've seen with Bitcoin there is a lot of room for digital currency to grow. Where did the 100 billion number come from?
