Title: Twitter vs Bitcoin. Which will be bigger and better?
Post by: solex on November 06, 2013, 04:33:37 AM
As of the date of this poll Twitter is slated to IPO with a valuation of $17.4 billion. Twitter has had a significant global impact allowing one-to-many and many-to-one instant broadcast messaging of text and recently, images. It has revolutionized the transmission of real-time events from the Arab Spring to celebrity name-calling.
But the revenue stream is small, dividends seem a distant prospect.

Currently Bitcoin, recapturing its all-time high, has a monetary base of nearly $3 billion. All Bitcoiners appreciate the risks and reality of it right now and yet its world-changing potential. Many use Twitter as well.

It's simple. Today the market values Twitter 5.8x more than Bitcoin. But in 5 years which will be bigger, better, more important, and by how much?  

Hoping for a useful histogram to result...

Apples and oranges. Why compare these two?

Indeed. But the market has to take all information about any enterprise and come up with a price. They are both topical right now. Might not prove anything, but might also prove interesting to get expectations.

Its possible people may be using Bitcoin in 100 years. Its highly unlikely people will remember twitter in 20 years.
