With the average American pulling in around $28.29 per hour according to MarketWatch, it would currently take almost 257 hours to purchase a single Bitcoin (BTC) at its current value (circa. $7,315). Comparatively, somebody earning the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour would need to work just over 1,000 hours to earn a single Bitcoin.
In fact, I think the time that has to be worked out to buy 1 BTC in the US is very good. The average hourly earnings in my country are $ 2.20. So to buy 1 BTC, one person has to work more than 3000 hours.
