On March 23, 2013 bitcoin was $70, so it's only up 700% YoY.
Part of my point was that the joker, Podyx, was being imprecise in some parts and then precise in other parts as part of the joke.. .so when we try to call him on the technicalities or to quibble about the various technical mistakes, then we become part of the joke.. b/c we did NOT get it.. he was exaggerating to make various humorous points.. Whether we appreciate Podyx's humor or not.
I got the joke. I just decided to do the math because I'm bored.
