@evan

up to 4+ billions is ok as it can be stored neatly in a long unsigned int.

more than that and you get into long long int territory and we cant have a societal wealth distribution that needs non-standard or compiler-specific extensions to be represented 🤓

@openrisk @evan surely we need to be able to represent wealth in positive and negative terms… so, maybe we only let them have 2.1 billion? 🤣

@4n6 @openrisk if you make one more dollar, you then have -$2.1B.
