It's a common theme in decred podcasts to talk about the 21m coin supply as if it is something important.
I don't get it. The real unit is the satoshi (or whatever the dcr equivalent is called). Where you decide to put the decimal point is pretty much a matter of convention and only has any effect because of unit bias.
A bitcoin with 21b coins and 5 decimal places is pretty much equivalent to what we have now.

Decred's equivilant of a satoshi is an atom. And supply matters when you direct competition in the Store of Value is also at 21m coins max supply. This is a long game: 10+ years.
