So just how big is Bitcoin? And the ultimate question, when will it go "to the moon"? Well I did some number crunching and we official have hit the moon!

Break Down

The apollo 11 mission cost $25.4bln back in 1973, which adjusting for inflation is $147bln today. According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin currently is at $191bln coincap. That means if every bitcoin were pooled together and sold at current value, we could fund a mission to the moon and have money left over to buy everyone a trip to Las Vegas to watch it!

So what does this mean? Well by my calculations we could fund the entire Apollo mission at this point! Which means we already hit the moon and are way past it since it could only be easier and less costly today thanks to the HUGE advances in technology!
