Sorry that wasn't clear. What she means is the amount given to each person. We are still and always will be committed to giving away the total 95B stellars.
I just edited her post to clarify what we were trying to say.
Thanks for the response. At the same time, I remained concerned by this idea that an increase in value of Stellars would slow down the rate of distribution.
After all, new users are a limited commodity (particularly after the honeymoon period). So almost by definition, if you chose to decrease the amount of Stellars distributed because the price is increasing, then you're slowing down the rate of distribution.
Which is exactly what Ripple has done.
I'd be happy to be proved wrong on this one, but I'm definitely taking a wait and see approach.
