    Was just thinking about how we use the Gold to Silver ratio to determine a price for Silver based on scarcity and thought would play around with Bitcoin to see what I get

    Just done some quick google searches for the total above ground Gold and Silver and averaged them out to;

    175,000 tons of Gold = 5,626,380,650 troy ounces
    1,420,000 tons of Silver = 45,654,060,127 troy ounces

    Silver:Gold (8.114 to 1) might be a bit low, I was thinking between (9-12) but will run with it

    So there are 8.114 ounces of Silver to each ounce of Gold so at the current spot price of Gold at US$1,117 per ounce then divided by 8.114 = US$137.66 for Silver

    Now looking at units of Bitcoin = 14,800,000 BTC

    Gold:Bitcoin (380.16 to 1) so there are 380.16 ounces of Gold to each Bitcoin so US$1,117 per ounce multiplied by 380.16 = US$424,638.72 for Bitcoin

    Doesn't prove anything but I just found it interesting
