what is the absolute max amount of coins ever possible?
5.5 mill currently.
Also ignore all posts from qawzsx . This user is clearly adulterating images. The 24 volume doesn't match his bullshit claim.
Proof of Work ended with 5.5 mill XC, we have then since May (½ year) staked 1.08% divided, further proof that the 3.33% is a theoretical max rather than an actual. At current rate we will hit 2.x% the first year of XC.
The growth rate of XC is slowly exponential.
