Title: Becoming a Bitllionaire! Post by: Narydu on February 04, 2013, 10:54:25 AM Just thinking that 50k btc at actual price makes you a bitllionaire so perhaps many in our community have all ready accomolished their dream with just some small investment or will soon do so. This dream seams far away for many but its obviously that bitcoin can make it real for you! Sorry, it was just a thought. 8)

Title: Re: Becoming a Bitllionaire! Post by: jerfelix on February 04, 2013, 02:25:39 PM Not sure Bitllionaire is the right word.
The prefix in Millionaire indicates 10^6. The prefix in Billionaire indicates 10^9. You've removed it and replaced it with something that means a SINGLE binary digit. So I think if you own a single binary digit, you are a Bitllionaire. Given that a bitcoin Private Key is made up of 256 of these, and the bitcoin Address can be secured for as little a one satoshi (well, really zero, to be technical - since there's no "buying" of the private key), I would say that if you own a private key, you are a Bitllionaire 256 times over! And so for a mere 256th of a satoshi, you could be considered a Bitllionaire. Can you tell I don't like the choice of word? ;) Title: Re: Becoming a Bitllionaire!

I doubt they are "barely noticed".Title: Re: Becoming a Bitllionaire! Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on February 04, 2013, 02:57:56 PM Not sure Bitllionaire is the right word.

Bi, tri, etc. are Latin-derived prefixes for 2, 3, etc. A bit represents an amount of information such that there are 2 possible states. Bitllionaire is therefore a synonym for billionaire, which also looks equally similar.OP obviously intended it as a portmanteau of "Bitcoin" and "millionaire", though.

Title: Re: Becoming a Bitllionaire! Post by: arklan on February 04, 2013, 08:01:23 PM Is the double-L silent? How do you pronounce Bitllionaire? With a tongue twisting pause after Bit. i find myself adding an extra i. bitillionaire. bit-illion... *shrug* Title: Re: Becoming a Bitllionaire! Post by: Narydu on February 04, 2013, 11:18:25 PM Haha, no intention in talking the thread this way but it looks far more interestig than my original post :D
Would be nice to think a way of calling someone when he becomes a millionaire thanks to its bitcoins. Guessing that in the future media will have to adress it very frecuently when speaking about us as early adopters ;) ;) Bitcoin millionaires is boring and bitllionaires sound better as marketing but i guesss it can mess with billionaire, anyway still a nice word! In some countries billion stands for 12 not 9 "0". Title: Re: Becoming a Bitllionaire!

I guess 0,01% ??? of al hoarders, miners, individuals.. :o Title: Re: Becoming a Bitllionaire! Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on February 05, 2013, 01:30:27 AM Is the double-L silent? How do you pronounce Bitllionaire? This should make it easier to pronounce: Bitñonaire. (psy is slackin') Title: Re: Becoming a Bitllionaire!

I doubt they are "barely noticed".Selling 50k over a month would have almost no effect on the price ! Better sell few thousand and continue to hoard the rest for the future buying power it will provide :) Title: Re: Becoming a Bitllionaire!
