WOW! This is really amazing I obviously thought it so unlikely that I would win either prize, let alone standing a chance of winning the 20 BTC!! Thank you, Otoh - this was a really fun competition and is very generous of you Sending to this address would be great - 1ScottJJpqTCBbTqnPa7Dyak5cfBPhtdh My pleasure: https://blockchain.info/tx/a6b9e02b65c77883c7c8a32ff39678dfd05f421797d51fec55b4aa2285cf7adf Good luck for the $1B double prize, you should make some headlines if you've predicted that one correctly too

Thanks again

Yep, it's a feature of the excellent blockchain.info wallets, I expect that you'll need a price of at least $100 if not over by mid April (coins issued to date times value) for $1B, if we hit $100 though I expect that 'the over' part will not be a problem with the news splash that will make, anyway should be a fun month to watch, good luck!

I realize the party is over, but here's a guess $1bil on 2013.4.10
Just for my own personal satisfaction.

I expect that you meant 1,000 BTC = 12.5 Kg of gold here, yes? May as well make this a competition as well then, I'll have a think about an appropriate prize - maybe a couple of 1 BTC Casascius coins, also I've just started a competition thread similar to the one here but for litecoins this time, with a total of up to 500 LTC being offered in prizes. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=157448.0

for the $1B prize we would need a BTC price of approx $95 if it was to be in 2013 which seems possible now, if over $100 (?) happens before mid April roughly (need to calculate coins issued times price) then Scott J would win the times two doubling prize for a total of 20 BTC all together. If anyone wants to make a massive purchase and push the price over $100, I'll be happy to part with 1 BTC of the prize as compensation. Surely that's enough incentive

Update on $1B At the time of writing (about 4 hours ago) 228,251 blocks have been mined for a total of 10,956,300 Bitcoins. Multiplied by the price of $89.245 per bitcoin, brings us to a Market capitalization of $977,794,993.50 Data from: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1b3w7h/so_close_to_1_billion_what_happens_afterwards/ & Gox highest price today. (In the approx 4 hours since the Reddit OP I think that's about 600 bitcoins extra mined, which I haven't included)

Sorry, Otoh! Looks like this might just happen It's all good what do u mean in your sig LTC = $c³ It's a play on E= Mc² with BTC as energy being = to old fiat $ & cents to the power of 2, ie squared, or in another dimension of functionality, speed, freedom, appreciation, adaption, independence & security. &/or BTC as equivalent to energy being = in comparison to old fiat $ represented as mass, times the speed of light squared, which to me is the difference between government/central bank currencies & the first really functioning P2P open source virtual currency with a fixed known total number being generated, ie Bitcoin, is in a totally different league in other words. Re LTC = $c³ It's a bit tongue in cheek, but I'm a great fan of the main BTC Alt & see enormous potential for it's adaption & growth, especially in niche markets where ppl need faster confirmations & where it's more user friendly to have units worth closer to $1 - $10 each say than stratospheric as BTC may become & then having to deal is small fractions of a coin for most uses, so I called it to the power of 3, ie cubed, which I also believe may be the potential investment returns from it in comparison to bitcoins as things stand atm. I think that it compliments Bitcoin fantastically & is the ideal backup up currency. As soon as Armory wallet is forked for use with LTC or any number of other possible Apps or uses I expect to see the LTC price at around 1/10 of BTC's, there are 4 times as many LTC due to exist so this is quite a modest possibility for competitive price if things roll out well. In this world everything is duality, nothing comes in to existence without it's counterpart, day - night, male - female, energy - matter, yang - yin, life - death, if you like then, Coke - Pepsi, PC - Mac, Etc Etc, I see LTC as being the natural & ideal counterpart to BTC atm., like a piece of paper always has two sides - that's how things are on the Elementry school of Earth & it's what we're here to master IMO.. While two represents duality, three shows the evolution of this, it's offspring or product if you like & so progress. 0. Cowrie shells, etc 1. Fiat2. BTC 3. LTC
