Or, 22,654,920 Raspberry Pi computers..

That's 81 milli USD (0.081215 USD) for everyone in this world..

Any increased activity from Cyprus?

That's a lot. Do you think that many exist? I'm fairly certain that watch was a limited edition and 566 examples do not exist.

Anyway, forget fiat. What else can we compare with the total worth of all bitcoins?

fiat is better to compare like 1,600 Trillion of derivatives

Well, technically, they're not all worth $51.88 - that just happens to be the price the last person bought at. (which is up to 53.70 at the moment)

People only need to sell coins worth $8 million for the price to go down to $0.02, and bring the market cap to just 160k USD.

Just wanted to put this out there as I have a problem with market cap in general, since it's an artificially inflated number that doesn't serve any purpose other than for bragging rights.

And yeah, I'm fun at parties.

That's not really true. We can all go to bitmit right now and buy $53 worth of goods with each coin. That wouldn't change the price. You're saying they are only worth money once we sell them for USD.

If you're not selling them for USD, then the phrase "buy $53 worth of goods with each coin" doesn't make much sense. You'd be buying 1 coin worth of goods with each coin.

Realistically however, for at least the short/medium term, bitmit sellers would most likely need some fiat liquidity and exchange some of the coins thus changing the price.

marketcap is the accepted valuation, the value of the trade is considered to be holding against all sell orders

and you forget to add bitcoin is an emerging currency with the purpose of being a shadow currency "to entire global assets and liquidity"
