Want to be a time-travelling millionaire? Being a 'millionaire' in past decades would have materially represented something much different, as we know from the dollar debasement over time. Bitcoin's price grows by a power law AND we have the historical purchasing power / inflation data back over a century; therefore, we can calculate the future years in which 1 Bitcoin will represent holding $1M dollars in past decades' dollars. What could you have owned as a millionaire from the 1980s, 1960s... even the early 1900s? And in what year will you become that old-timey millionaire? 👇🧵View original on X ↗
