Bitcoin is Bigger Than: E.1
A series to show how large the crypto currency is, compared to other well known things in the world, to help translate and show value and perspective!
It is a TLDR / Short Form Series, covering ONLY that topic
It is specifically designed this way to keep it short and simple.
People can then search out extra info if they wish, or share this relevant info / company names with people to help show the growth, reality and legitimacy of $BTC/$XBT and cryptocurrency!
I've never seen a regular series or resource running on Steemit to continually address this basic need so I decided to do it.
With BTC crossing the $200B market cap just today for the 1st time (Dec. 5th, 2017, aprx. 1:30 pm UTC time or 8:30 am EST) and with more countries relaxing rules for its use, it is a real thing.
BTC began the year at about $15.5B total market cap and we have not included the forks of BTC in these numbers either!
-- With the $200 billion mark now eclipsed, it's right alongside and ready to overtake giants like, Oracle ($201 billion), or major drug maker, Pfizer Inc. ($213 billion).
Bitcoin is Bigger Than:
-- General Electric (Market cap: $157 billion)
-- Walt Disney (Market cap: $154 billion)
-- McDonald's (Market cap: $134 billion)
-- IBM (Market cap: $140 billion)
-- Goldman Sachs (Market cap: $95 billion)
-- Target (Market cap: $31.8 billion)
-- American Airlines (Market cap: $27.7 billion)
-- Ford Motor Company (Market cap: $43.5 billion)
-- Deutsche Bank (Market cap: $37.7 billion)
Some of the Backstory/History:
20 years ago a Florida man paid someone in Bitcoin to deliver him two Papa John's pizzas--which may go down as the worst financial transaction of all time.
Today, a slice of Pizza will cost you still a few dollars, as opposed to the price of Bitcoin which is now touching $12,000 $USD.
Look up Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Yearly Celebration for the $20+ Million Pizza Order)
The biggest player in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin, set another record when its total value topped $200 billion for the first time Dec. 5th/2017 as discussed earlier.

This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, trying to build community, put out content and engage people, help and donate to people, and I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.

if u ask my opinion if u want to do long term investment then u should go for monero or Zcash....this currencies have lower market capacities and monero is quite a famous currency too so probability of monero is highest after bitcoin.... ones bitcoin hits a higher values people will look for alternate ways....Investing in the currency is more like investing in collectible people r buying them coz there are less of the out thr if i had alot of money i would buy something rarer than something with alot of market capacity....If ur a long term investor u should know the meaning of increasing demand thats the main thing happening in the market right now it will sure make few currencies reach top of the market..
good day
