Title: Some quick math for fun: what if the total value of Bitcoin reaches X?
Post by: friedcat on February 26, 2012, 06:44:39 AM
We assume that all of the following happens after the day when 21 million BTCs have all been issued.

X=$332.9 million (The price of a Boeing 747-8 in 2011)
each BTC will worth $15.85

X=$1billion (The construction cost of the Roscoe Wind Farm, estimated)
each BTC will worth $47.62

X=$27.320billion (Ebay's total assets in 2011)
each BTC will worth $1300.95

X=$121.6billion (Vietnam's GDP in 2011)
each BTC will worth $5790.5

X=$8.48trillion (Total price of mined gold in the end of 2011, estimated)
each BTC will worth $403809.5

X=$0.05 (price of a lollipop in 1980's prices)
each BTC will be worth [not much]

X=$52,500
each BTC will worth $0.0025

Laszlo's payment of 10,000 BTC for a pizza will turn out to have been about right.

What if $ turns towards worthless? Well this pizza probably already is worthless.  ;D

Where is this event documented when it happened?

That's still one expensive pizza today. >$50k  :o

I look back fondly on the few hours last year when a 10,000 BTC pizza would have cost $320,000.

The pizza purchase was co-ordinated in this forum's Marketplace:

It was actually two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. Here's a comparison of that purchase with other expensive pizzas:

At least that pizza looks VERY delicious!
I wish one could get anywhere near like that around here in visual deliciousness factor at the very least.
