Great point ! I like to picture millions, billions, and even trillions as $1 bills and seconds in time.
If you take x amount of $1 bills and count them one at time how much time would pass?
Assume you are standing on a cliff overlooking the Grand Canyon with a stack of 100 $1 bills and flipping $1 bills over the edge, one at a time, every second (no breaks for food, water, sleep, etc)
100 dollars = 100 seconds
$10,000 = 2.6 hours
$100,00 = 27.7 hours
$1,000,000 = 11.5 days
$1 Billion = 31.7 years
$1 Trillion = 31,688 years
1 bitcoin = 1 bitcoin
