Title: Numbers for a BTC gold standard
Post by: conspirosphere.tk on February 14, 2012, 03:31:51 PM
From here: http://www.numbersleuth.org/worlds-gold/ (http://www.numbersleuth.org/worlds-gold/)
you get an existing gold world stock of 530,487,318.9 troy ounces.
Dividing that for the 21,000,000 BTC due to come in existence, you get:
>252 gold ounces per BTC

Numbers for a cans of soda in my fridge BTC standard

I have 8 12 oz sodas in my fridge. (96 oz total)
There will be 2100000 BTC eventually
Each ounce of soda is worth 175K BTC!
Thats more than $0.5MM each! 

My math made as much sense as yours did.  Want to buy a can of my soda for a steal at 10BTC?  Free shipping!

Mm. No. But I may accept your gold for my BTC.
See the difference?

Math = OK. Logic = needs some work.  ;D
