Title: Graph of Inflation Post by: dwdollar on March 31, 2010, 04:25:42 AM I am wondering if someone could make a graph of the current Bitcoins in circulation and the projected limit that will eventually occur. It might help new people understand the inflation that is occurring. Does something like this already exists?
Title: Re: Graph of Inflation Post by: The Madhatter on March 31, 2010, 05:23:58 AM I have thought of that. It is kinda hard to calculate. People lose their wallets and abandon their clients. Those coins are lost from circulation. :/ One could build a graph based on the block count, but it wouldn't be 100% accurate.
