Humpback Whale = 5000 BTC or more
Whale = 1000 - 5000 BTC
Shark = 500 - 1000 BTC
Dolphin = 100 - 500 BTC
Fish = 50 - 100 BTC
Octopus = 10 - 50 BTC
Crab = 1 - 10 BTC
Shrimp = less then 1 BTC
seems to me that we need new categories.. I am not sure how far down, maybe down to 1 satoshi?
Shrimp = 0.1 < BTC <= 1 BTC
Krill = 0.01 < BTC <= 0.1 BTC
Bacterioplankton = 0 < BTC <= 0.01
Brain eating amoeba = 0 BTC
For now that seems to be adequate, but surely, I am thinking that soon we might need more specificity in the sub .01 BTC arena.
At the moment, .01BTC is still approaching $110, and even now, there are folks with lower BTC balances, and sure in the future, if we do another 10x (to $100k per BTC) or even 100x (to $1 million per BTC), there are likely going to be emerging hierarchies with the sub .01 BTC territory.
I will concede that we could probably cross that scalability list when getting there, even while considering that at some point in the future,
soontm, maybe the whole list will need to be re-thunk?
