Title: It has been a ride - the bitcoin price infographed (100 bitcoin buys...)
Post by: paxmao on March 14, 2021, 12:43:34 AM
Can 14-odd years be called history? Perhaps, but in any case it feel a bit like so due to the speed of the expansion of Cryptocurrencies. I felt like doing something to celebrate this non-birthday party, so there you go:

If you wonder what is that last picture, see here. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5323383.msg56547808#msg56547808) The price is now different :)

It is curious how the infographic is completely opposite to that of the purchasing power of fiat currencies. Here we can see one about the (US) dollar:

you can buy 2 pizza for $1???
you can buy a car for $350-$1.2k???
you can buy a yacht for $18k

seems your living in a great country..
im guessing your talking about buying 1 pizza slice for $1
im guessing your talking about 1 month rental of home/cars/yachts

in most other countries. actual purchasing power
2 pizza was the 2012 era of ~$20
a second hand (rust bucket) car was the era of $1.2k
a decent car is the 2021 $37k
the houses... that hasnt happened yet (well maybe a basic slum apartment/trailer park home has happened)
the yacht.. that hasnt happened yet
and the NFT art. well thats when 1btc is worth multimillions.. not happening any time soon

I recall this a little different, 2011 bought you p0rn passes, 2013 bought you good weed, 2014 made you go bald due to stress.

Bother to read if you want to argue. Hint: I don't.


I recall this a little different, 2011 bought you p0rn passes, 2013 bought you good weed, 2014 made you go bald due to stress.

That could be. As you can see the graphic says "what 100 bitcoin could buy you", so at some point of 2013 that would be enough weed to fill a bath-tube.  Not that I am an expert I rekon.

I have also edited the title as it seems that people skip over the 00s. I would really love to do business with you guys.
