Yeah, in what way are we wealthy?

Well, there can only ever be a maximum of 21,000,000 "whole bitcoins" that will ever exist.

Current population of the planet is said to be about 7,250,000,000 people.

So each human's "fair share" of bitcoin on the planet, oversimplified of course but otherwise all other things being equal -- should be about 0.00289655 Wink

This happens to equal current purchasing power in American $ fiat currency, of a little less than a $1 buck, at the moment Wink

As to what it'll equal in the future, that's anyone's guess.

But for anyone here who owns more than this, their tiny "fair share"...?

Or even, hopefully for most of us "early adopter" folks here, IF you happen own at least a WHOLE bitcoin, or maybe TWO, or MORE...Huh

Wheee... we're "wealthy elite!"  Grin
