Yea that was back when there were less coins circulating (people are making dozens of coins every single day now). It seems now shitcoins made by 12 year olds are popping out every single day. It's a way to stop people from making useless crap clone coins. This way they segregate the shit from the real coins.
Yeah. So many cloned shitcoins these days. 100K is a good number for now.
