Title: I can't handle these prices... How much was that again??
Post by: oOoOo on April 02, 2013, 01:16:27 AM
Maybe it's just me, but I have difficulties adjusting to these recent price changes. In my mind a BTC is still somewhere around ~$9 USD, it has been there for so long, I guess it just kinda stuck. Now I suddenly see things like 9.7BTC being sold for 1000.- USD and I thought it must have been some kind of bug..?
So now we gotta calculate everything back to fiat again, just to get a somewhat accurate sense of what the value actually is?

Anyone else feel this??

The price is only 10.3 cents per mBTC.

Everyone feels it.  It's the Doctor Who Effect.

Who's your favorite Doctor?  Who was the Doctor when you first started watching?

QED.

I have it when I make a bet on betsofbitco.in .  Used to be ok to bet a bitcoin or 3, now I am like: "wait, how much am I betting here?"

A bitcoin mined in 2009 is a bitcoin.
If you bet a bitcoin, you're still betting a bitcoin.
A bitcoin is still a bitcoin.

;D

Yeah, but how hard it is to get those bitcoins back has changed, as has what you can get for 1...
Cpt. Obvious for the win.

Last month I paid 1.4BTC for my hosting service. This month I will be paying closer to half a bitcoin.

That, I like. :)

This happened to me last month when I chose not to renew cypher's subscription. Because with all due respect, no newsletter is worth $300 a month!

I also have to make some mental shits when I play blackjack/SD. I switched my bitzino currency display to cB, so that the numeric value is approx the same as a USD. Otherwise I end up tilting and betting way too much. -.-

Or $500 a month for S3052 =o

I gave a talk on bitcoin recently. When the talk was announced, it was mentioned 33 usd.. At the talk I had to make it 80, and now just 5 days later they realize its 100. Imagine whats going on their heads ;D ;D
