Title: BIT parity - the rise of the BIT against world fiat currencies and other things
Post by: molecular on July 13, 2014, 09:47:19 AM
I found this gem: Bitcoin parity: what is a bitcoin worth? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=27189.0)

Let's do this with the "bit".

Here's the bit proposal again:

Quote
1 satoshi = smallest unit, pretty much in general use today
1 bit       = 100 satoshi, eventually every day use, coffee, sandwiches, etc.
1 XBT     = 1 bit, should be the official symbol on all exchanges, forex, etc.
1 BTC     = 1000000 bits = kept for dealing with larger amounts, may fade

1 Bitcoin/bitcoin as a currency unit fades away

Bitcoin = the Bitcoin protocol

Notice that 1 microBitcoin = 100 satoshi = 1 bit = 1 XBT

So, what can you buy for 1 bit?

For 1 bit, one can currently buy:

  • 16 Iranian Rial
  • 13 Viet Nam Dong
  • 7 Indonesian Rupiah
  • 1.17 Colombian Peso

(it seems I'm missing some currencies here)

next up in terms of world fiat currencies is the South Korean Won, which can be bought for 1 bit when the price of 1 Bitcoin reaches 981 USD.

How about yen? That seems like a rather convenient thong to compare to.

note to myself, 1 bit = 0.000001 BTC(1e-6)
