Title: US Dollar Value - 0.00389105 BTC
Post by: supersonic3974 on November 05, 2013, 05:10:26 PM
It's now time to start reporting the value of the US dollar in terms of Bitcoins.  This thread can be used to keep track of this metric.  So keep this thread updated with the current exchange rate!

As of this posting, the US dollar is only worth 0.00389105 BTC!

Here is a graph of the value of USD in terms of BTC.

To see all the data easily, I applied a log scale.

The last graph is a very good one. Keep it updated every now and then.

When the dollar hits absolute zero, will the phrase "sell bitcoin" have any meaning?  If so, how?  Will bitcoin be priced in gold at that point?

I like the second graph. Good perspective on the devaluation of the dollar in terms of BTC.

Making all time lows in USD lol

There seems to be a psychological barrier when crossing each of the log lines: 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01

Does the phrase "sell dollars" have any meaning? At some point we will stop pricing bitcoin in dollars and switch to pricing everything in bitcoins. Instead of saying "sell bitcoins", you will just say you "trade bitcoins for something", or "buy something" and assume everybody knows you mean in exchange for bitcoins. Do you go to the store and sell dollars? No, you go to the store and buy something. In the future, you will go to the store and buy something by giving them some bitcoins. Or, what seems more likely to me, you will go to the store and swipe a card which debits the amount of bitcoins in the account at your bank.

Yes...each one represents $10/BTC, $100 BTC, etc.
