ApplePay doesn't solve this. [US DOLLAR vs BITCOIN super simple visual]

Haha, yeah maybe prices only rose that much in government CPI fantasy world but in the real world where all the inflation hits things people need most like food, medical, and housing forget it.

You have to have not of shopped for groceries the past 5 years if you can't see the government numbers are full of shit. On top of that, food companies are slightly reducing the size of thing to augment the shock. Drop a couple ounces here and there....

I don't need shadow stats to tell me that the price of food has gone through the roof.

These would make seriously good billboards.

That would be one hell of a contribution to spreading the awareness of Bitcoin

That's a badass idea, theymos shouldn't pay for it. The forum's  funds stays here, we should do a crowd funding.

except there technically is pretty srs inflation for a while to start with for btc

True, but interestingly the inflation of the number of coins mined (even with this creation being greater at the beginning), is still having a generally uptrending price if you take it on a span of years. So the price is still deflating even though the supply is inflating. Tell that to the dollar.

Japan had a period of ~10 years of deflation they they only semi-recently were able to get out of. In order to get out of a deflationary cycle they had to "print" trillions of dollars worth of yen over that decade.

Having a greater number of currency units does not necessarily mean that the purchasing power of each until will decrease (have inflation)

Not really deflation but 0.2*deflation + 0.8*speculation

Please get it, modify and reuse any way you like ... Technically, I was conservative as well as BTC pricing at $ 13usd in 2012, $ 100 in 2013 and $ 400usd in 2014. (with $ 250 in wine). I think you did very well! I'm glad you did. I liked it even more accurately now. Spread everywhere.

I spent a little time trying to make the bitcoin part accurate but I have not changed the USD part and I do not want to spend the time researching the accuracy of the conversion price versus what it will buy. We have just created a great image. I have updated the OP with the link to your image, as it's better. It's interesting when Photoshop blocks it. Looking forward to the 2015 version with jetski. And also share it with cryptome.me, a crypto-themed funny web site. These will be good signage.
