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.

### Recent Market Facts/Stats: 

----

With BTC (Core/Legacy chain only) crossing the $200B market cap just Dec. 5th, 2017 ago for the 1st time (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.

This is real money in Crypto. Total Crypto Market Cap Approaching $1 Trillion!

2 weeks later (Dec. 19th, 2017, 2:50 pm EST) --- we literally crossed the $335B mark ... JUST for the one Bitcoin chain -- and we just crossed the total crypto market cap of HALF A TRILLION $$ around the same day.

The market contined to moon across all coins until around Dec. 21st when things started to correct.  Total Market Cap had crossed the $830B range, it was amazing!

After many days of huge corrections market wide, the numbers were UP a few days in a row here but now are sideways/still dipping again the past half-day or so.

Today that Total Crypto Market Cap after another " Correctionings " week.... is UP / sideways (now)  to about ~ .46 TRILLION. (2/21/2017)

-- meaning ~$460B.

-- It is fun to write that out in "Trillion" form, & remind everyone crypto is serious money now.

BTC crossed the $300B market cap / 1st time on Dec. 8th, approx. 12:15 am UST/ or ~7:15 pm EST

Corrections the next while pulled that total number back below that as we know.

CMC.com charts have been down for most of the last month / many days, sorry.  They have kinda sucked for awhile now!

 If they are down I tend to use CoinCap.io or another.

## 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. 

2 weeks later (Dec. 19th, 2017, 2:50 pm EST) --- we literally crossed the $335B mark ... JUST for the one Bitcoin chain -- and we just crossed the total crypto market cap of HALF A TRILLION $$ around the same day, as mentioned earlier in this post.

##### Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone.  I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.   

###### 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.
