I understand why you guys are concerned about supply. Initially I was concerned about that too, but the problem is that we are comparing Kin to other coins when this is actually a completely different approach.
Look at it like this...
The majority of the remaining tokens are going to be rewarded to users and content developers in various ways. Kik currently has 15 million active users plus millions more accounts that are less active.
In the first year inflation is 30% and then keeps decreasing. 1/3 of that already went to the ICO and the remainder will go to KIK users and developers which will be $2 trillion kin. Lets say
for example they decided to divide that 2 trillion evenly amongst all the active users, each user would get 133,333 which is equivalent to $16...You are going to have millions of teenagers and cam girl enthusiasts now with this currency in which most of them will likely use on the app and now Kin has become a part of their life and a part of their Kik experience going forward.. Eventually a good chunk of those people are going to want to buy Kin. Kik did an experiment where they rewarded users with points to get stickers/emojis..It was really popular and some of its users were even willing to buy the points. Check this out:

The Kik world with 15 million active and the cryptocurrency world and its enthusiasts like us. The millions of active Kik users that will be using it is much larger number then amount of people who currently own it now.
Only 10,000 cryptocurrency enthusiasts bought it in the ICO versus 15 million active users on Kik... That is a 1500x difference in the amount of people!
The amount of Kin that was purchased in the ICO versus what will be distributed in KIK in the first year is only 3x!...overall in total there will be 7x Kin will be rewarded compared to what was purchased in the ICO. If you read the whitepaper, it says that $3 trillion will be saved for kin foundation operations and will not be used for rewards so therefore $7 trillion total being released through the ICO and through Kin rewards program. Also the Kin rewards program may start to be used outside of Kik as well, eventually.
Also, Filmmmaker's reply/comment he said it will be lucky to see 0.10 in its time... You are right, it will unlikely reach that, and if it did it likely wouldnt go beyond that. But you need to keep in mind that they did this on purpose so that they dont run into same problem that Bitcoin and Ether have when trading small amounts and gets divided into decimal numbers. For example, trading 40,000 KIN in instead of 0.032467 Ether...It's better like that.
The ICO price was 0.00012....If it goes up to 0.01, that is 83x! ...I think this is realistic and can happen within the next 3 years.
So when you consider all of things I mentioned, I don't think we should be concerned of the supply. This is a whole different beast, its not the same as other cryptocurrencies. It has great potential to have significant impact on cryptocurrency adoption.
I am aware of the scalability issues with the Ethereum blockchain but it looks like this will be fixed over time based on what I've read. Hopefully!
