Those are not units and neither is bitcoin. That is the fundamental flaw. Units are objectively definable and a constant.

Look at every unit.

One side of the equation is made up and the other side is real.

I knew I should have made this thread self-moderated. You've already got like six pages of trolling on this subject in that other thread. Isn't that enough?

The Seitz is fairly close in valuation to the Calore, so it wouldn't make a addition to the list.
