I want to use TBC, not BTC. So when TBC reaches $1 parity, I will celebrate *that* day. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

First block makes more sense. USD is a measuring stick made of wormwood.

That seems pretty USA-centric. It seems pointless to celebrate victory over a single national currency. If it becomes the largest method of payment over the Internet, that might be worth commemorating.

I agree. January 3 rd should be Bitcoin Day.

I rejected it.
Multiples of 210,000 block numbers will mark much more important dates.

We can reset Bitcoin Day every time we hit an integer multiple of 210,000. First one was 0 x 210000 = 0 What day was 105,000 on? It was Jan 28th. Considering we are consistently increasing difficulty I'd say 210,000 could very well land on Jan 3rd.

The most original feature of bitcoin is the distributed time server. It is the first ever artificial unstoppable time clock. We should definitely use it instead of the rotation of Earth around the Sun.

Jan 3rd is not by earth & sun rotation. Its by Jesus Christ calendar. If earth & sun rotation means then u have to go for Indian calendar, which is confusing, coz they use moon & earth also for calender.
Whatever every one celebrates New Year on Jan 1, even though it is only by Christian calendar. Its hard to reject Jan 1 as new year, coz it became world accepted. even though every country, every religion, every caste, every sub caste has there own calendar & new year.
As said the very first block, the genesis block generated on Jan 3rd. So, it will be the birthday of 1st bitcoin. No one can deny that. Instead of having 2 separate dates as birthday & bitcoin day, it will be good if their is only one, which is decentralized, which cannot be erased, have only ONE very specific special day.
Also, as new year brings good things, hope, new things, wealth, prosper, fun.....on Jan 1st.. Jan 3rd brings the one which controls the above, (wealth, new things, prosper, fun....) , coz money can bring anything.
Jan 3rd marks the day of a currency, money, wealth, which got its birth on Jan 3 2009, which can change the world, still no one can control it, no one can bring it down, no one can erase it, & every bitcoin generated cannot be erased whatever any one do. It will be there in the network, even the owner forget it address & all the man made currency so far can wear & tear in time. A 1 dollar note can be teared, a 1 pound note can be teared, a 1 sterling........a one rupee coin can be hammered(sorry, in India one rupee currency is not used anymore), but what ever any one do a 1BTC cannot be ..........(I actually don't know the best word to describe)

Jan 3rd is not by earth & sun rotation.
No, it is not indeed. But if you want to celebrate bitcoin each Jan 3rd, it is not because it will be "Jan 3rd", but because one more year will have passed since the first bitcoin. And a year, to me, is the time Earth takes to revolution around the Sun. PS. Oh, and by the way, "jan 3rd" is certainly not by any kind of "Jesus Christ calendar". JC has never designed any calendar system. The word "January" comes from the roman god "Janus" in julian calendar.

Without Earth & Sun we can't live. I am sorry, for saying Jesus Christ calendar. I mean to say a calendar followed by Christians.
