Bitcoin parity: what is a bitcoin worth?

[Peter Lambert]

I am actually looking for a house, you will give me yours for one bitcoin?

If 1 BTC > $100k I will sell you nice apartments in Riga.

I would pay one bitcoin for a nice steak dinner.

Eh.. I would pay that much for a pizza. It's so much better than steak anyways

Guess you never had a good steak then Comparing medium rare filet mignon to a pizza is ehh.. not funny!

Today 1 bitcoin can be traded for a slip of paper that says $10 on it.

An ounce of gold.

I'll pay you a bitcoin for an ounce of gold.

For a true side by side comparison, why not compare the electricity costs to generate each?

You can plant the plant outside, then it requires no electricity. It is hard to do that with bitcoins. (Although, there is an "environmentally conscious mining" thread talking about that too.)

True, but a lot is still grown indoors using electrical power so I think it could be an interesting comparison anyway.

Don't forget fertilizer cost, recurring equipment cost (bulbs, etc).  I think mining is more profitable overall...especially due to risk.  Very similar in power usage and initial equipment cost though.

I know it is not exactly 1 bitcoin, but I thought I would point out that at the site http://bitcoin-hosting.com/?page_id=4 you can get 1 year of webhosting for 1.5 bitcoin. So I guess going with the theme of the thread, you can get 8 months of webhosting for 1 bitcoin.

This site is setting their price in bitcoin, and it is a great deal.

It would be nice to have silver parity. But now it looks more like from 10 to 1$

You must not have had a good steak before.

I guess it depends on the size of the steak and the size of the pizza?

Whereas befoe you could get a nice steak dinner for a bitcoin, now you could only get a mediocre steak dinner. You might be able to squeeze two Little Ceasar's Hot'n'Ready pizzas out of a bitcoin if you are lucky.

A bitcoin will get you a gallon of gas.

Yesterday I took my family of five out to dinner at Taco Bell, we spent about the same mount as it costs to get one bitcoin now.

Today I went to the barber shop and got a haircut for me and my son for about the same price as one bitcoin.

It would be fun to see an historical chart with Bitcoin vs real things rather than just other money.

A while ago somebody posted a thread with graphs of BTC vs XAU prices. I suppose there is some metric they use for inflation, a sort of basket of commodities that you could chart?
