Milestones

[justusranvier]

does it make sense to cross of the milestones that are over 2 years old in green?

I just added those a few days ago because someone else asked for them a few posts up.

I tend to agree with casascius. The first real milestone was parity with the USD. The second was parity with an ounce of silver.

The next real milestone will be parity with an ounce of gold.

After that? No other historic form of currency comes to mind to compare it to with regards to parity once you get past gold.

A few more parities spring to mind, like "Big Mac parity" (we're way past that), "daily average income parity" (we're past that for practically any country I can think of), monthly income, yearly income, cost of average housing, etc.

For historical comparisons, those make a lot more sense than e.g. gold or silver parity.

Classical historians often say that in the late Roman Republic and early Roman Empire the daily wage for an unskilled laborer and common soldier was 1 denarius

This is also the decibel scale.  Another way to think about justusranvier's list, is that each milestone corresponds to a price increase of exactly +1 dB.

$251.19 surpassed on the daily weighted price for the first time ever.

[justusranvier]

$316.23 crossed.

It's only been two days since the last milestone, which probably means at some point we'll have to cross it again.

Bump for $398.11

This is the first time I can remember crossing off two milestones in the same day.

I'm waiting for when BTCs are worth $10,000..... do you think it'll happen within 2 years?

At the rate we are going it seems like it could be next the end of next year.  Looking at the chart 2013 has been a pretty impressive year with many milestones.  It will be interesting to see how 2014 goes for sure.

Bumping this because its one of my favourite threads and I think we are due a milestone crossed off.

Not quite yet.

I go by the daily weighted price on Mt Gox, so assuming that we stay this high by the end of the day (UTC) then I'll cross off $794.33.

Sorry Dafar.  I guess you have not seen "BitChicksHusband on the board yet?"  I am sure many girls would love to date you when you are a BTC millionaire though!   The hard part will be finding a girl that is not after your bitcoins pretty soon here!

When I married my husband we were both totally broke college students, so he will never be able to claim that I married him for his money!  I guess that is a good thing.  We took our vows "for rich or poor" seriously.  We have done the "poor" so maybe we can move on over to the "rich" now?   I guess we are already rich in BTC in the fact that even holding a few will put us ahead of most of the world and now that the next milestone to check off is $1000!    That is just crazy!  I have to be honest, when we started buying several months ago that was just a dream that we thought could maybe happen and here we are.  I am not even sure what to think.  It is a wild ride!

Still waiting 

[BitChick]

Yea!!!  $1000!!!  That is an amazing milestone!

Can 2014 move as fast as 2013 has so far?  If so, we are looking at hitting $100,000 by the end of next year! 

Seems hard to believe.  I am sure $1000 was hard for people to believe when it was only $10 though.
