Title: 20 million and the 18th Birthday Bitcoin
Post by: remotemass on March 21, 2013, 02:15:04 AM
When we reach 20 million, bitcoin will celebrate 18 years old.
It would be very interesting these two dates match, on Sunday of 03/01/2027.
But probably the reach of 20 million bitcoins will be in another day before that.  8)

Technically an adult but not old enough to drink.

Technically an adult but not old enough to drink.

Au contraire (that's French), for we're speaking in terms of internet years, akin to dog years, of which there's a formula to calculate the real age of a dog.

After penning the above (seriously, even though it uses the same analogy), I hunted Google and found the following: http://www.fatdux.com/blog/2009/09/22/calculating-the-length-of-an-internet-year/

And that means X = 4.7 years.

So, it seems that Bitcoin can legally buy and drink NEFT Vodka most anywhere in the world, for it's clearly over 21.

 I think bitcoin will die quite young. I would predict it to be fully grown-up at 10. But the new economy will flourish.

False, here in Italy at 18 you are an adult and you can drink  ;)
