Interesting, what do they mean by 'capitalization hard limit'
A couple of those coins have ongoing block rewards that never
drop to zero, or proof-of stake, so there's not really a hard
limit. And then there are non-obvious bugs that can blow up..
And it's rather important to read the code and not the coins
marketing. Some of this stuff is kinda hilarious
