Deflation ....
In my opinion the only target of such huge total supply is for provoking some extra liquidity in a long term.
Or some negative responses. Anyway, we won't feel the size of total supply in a first couple of month.
Wow, bro. Please tell me how it can provoke negative responses?
1) Number growth with difficulty which means that we will have a shit load of coins after a eternity of mining
2) The idea of merged mining is all about to equalized in value with MRO, Quazar, BCN and/or any other CryptoNight-based coin
3) You can mine it forever so the currency will stay in use after a years (maybe not but it's possible)
