A trillion seconds ago was 30,000 B.C.
A quadrillion seconds ago was 32 million years ago.
A quintillion seconds ago was 32 billion years ago. (The age of the universe is 13.8 billion years.)
The computing power that secures Bitcoin is 139 quintillion calculations PER SECOND.

So, according to the above numbers, it takes only about 3 milliseconds (0.003 seconds) for the Bitcoin network to perform as many calculations as there are seconds since the birth of the universe!
In other words, in every second that passes, the above process is repeated more than 300 times!
Wow! Just WOW!
You guys seem to be into:
BIG numbers!!!!!
Wow, just wow!
Congrats on your rankening UPpity, AlcoHoDL.
Thanks Jay, I appreciate it.
The above result just shows the sheer computing power of the Bitcoin decentralized supercomputing entity (wow, that sounds like coming from a Terminator movie). The age of the universe comparison doesn't really have any practical usefulness though. If you spit on the ground, the saliva coming out of your mouth will contain many more atoms than the seconds since the age of the universe. So what? Doesn't really mean anything...
But such comparisons do put things into perspective, and we do like BIG numbers (especially when it comes to the BTC/USD value).
