Title: Why should have one Bitcoin Post by: greatmemar on December 24, 2016, 07:17:01 AM What would happen if you sold everything you own, liquidated any investments you have, paid off all of your debts, and withdrew whatever cash you have in bank accounts?
You’d be standing on the street naked, with nowhere to go, holding a bunch of cash, and people would be looking at you. holding all your net worth: http://28oa9i1t08037ue3m1l0i861.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/naked1.png And whatever cash you were holding would be your net worth. Okay now, imagine that everyone else in the world does that too (just pretend that makes sense), and all the people of the world, naked and holding their wealth in cash, come together and throw their wealth into a big pile together. How much money would be in that pile? $241,000,000,000,000. The combined wealth of all the people of the world is $241 trillion.1 So at this point, the whole human race would be standing there together, all naked, all broke, looking at a massive pile of cash. The world's wealth in hundreds: http://28oa9i1t08037ue3m1l0i861.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/money-pile.png Okay, the maximum number of bitcoins is 20999999.9769 BTC. Of course, it only differs from 21 million BTC by only 3 bitcents, so the difference isn't significant. So if we divide the total wealth on total btc it will be $12,050,000 it means if the world accept bitcoin the value of one bitcoin will be $12,050,000. You may be a millionaire in future ;D Title: Re: Why should have one Bitcoin Post by: Mikkiun on December 24, 2016, 07:20:32 AM What would happen if you sold everything you own, liquidated any investments you have, paid off all of your debts, and withdrew whatever cash you have in bank accounts?

Sorry. You are making a common mistake. The value of all the money in the world is not equal to the world's wealth. There is no reason to believe that the value of all the bitcoins will ever be equal the world's wealth. In fact, that would be impossible. Title: Re: Why should have one Bitcoin Post by: Kakmakr on December 24, 2016, 10:13:53 AM You will never get every nation in the world to surrender their fiat currency for Bitcoin, so that is a pipe dream that would never happen. How would you be able to sell everything you own? Someone needs to buy it, for the wealth to shift from the one entity to the other. The hypothesis is interresting and should just be seen as a possible scenarion when dictators could force people to abandon fiat and then to accept Bitcoin as a
reserve currency to eliminate cash. ^hmmmmm^ A typical example would be Denmark, where they are moving away from fiat to eKrone.

For that to happen someone would have to have $241 trillion and be willing to buy everything everyone in the world owned. Also where would they keep it all? they'd require a whole island probably bigger than greenland to store it ;D :D
