How can we see the entire value of all the BitCoins? (if we assume that the price of MtGox is the price). I want to know in order to make a new article on www.italkcash.com about the BitCoin mania and I want to put a LOT of facts down to stop some of the confusion among people online.
<helo> funny that this proposal grows the maximum block size to 8GB, and is seen as a compromise
<helo> oh, you don't like a 20x increase? well how about 8192x increase?
<JackH> lmao

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/ has both the total number of blocks and the total number of Bitcoins in existence, which is (# blocks) * 50.  Multiply that by the current price.

Obviously the final result will change every minute, as the price changes and the number of blocks found increases.

http://bitcoinwatch.com/ has this number in a few currencies available.
https://www.coinlend.org <-- automated lending at various exchanges.
https://www.bitfinex.com <-- Trade BTC for other currencies and vice versa.

There is in fact .00000001 less bitcoins in existence then displayed on bitcoinwatch because someone intentional created a block with a reward of 49.99999999 bitcoins. The network only checks to make sure that you don't reward your self extra bitcoins.
