Topic: I have 8,900 BTC sitting on this Live CD — what should I do?Posted: August 2010
I've got 8,900 BTC in a wallet.dat on this Linux Live CD. About to shut the machine down.
At today's Mt. Gox rate of $0.07 per coin, that comes to:
Total value: $623.00 USD
Honestly not too worried. Backed it up already. It's just magic internet money, right?

In the future, 8,900 BTC will be worth: [spoiler — click to reveal]
That's a ×1,600,000 multiplier. At $112,000 per coin.
[ footnote · inflation ] For context, $623.00 in August 2010 had the buying power of $937.10 in today's dollars. The BTC gain outran inflation by a lot.
