Quote
1 BTC == 1 BTC

technically the first statement is not a boolean.

"1 BTC" == "1 BTC"
Put this way,

"1 BTC" = "1 BTC"

would just raise an error, right?
Well I guess a variable of "1 BTC" could recursively store itself and then lead to an "OutOfMemory" situation. Smiley
Can't we just introduce something like "in 2015 Bitcoin" as deflation adjustment, just like dollars have a inflation adjusted way of saying "in 1980 dollars"?

So:
$1 in 1980 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $3.19 today becomes: 1BTC on January 1st 2012 is equivalent in purchasing power to about 0.00008976 BTC now.
