The year is 16 A₿
Discussion
Bitcoin has become my new time unit. “Oh, this film was made two years before Bitcoin!”. “Oh, this book was 2 years after Bitcoin!”
yes!
we are very early
Love it!
This is the year.
He paused for sincere dramatic effect. “The Seat of the Empire has since changed it’s opinion, humiliated and shamed are they who doubted... All glory to the Core.” “All glory to the core.” The mass repeated in unison. “Today we approach block CCCXV million since Genesis. The Epoch MD. One thousand five hundred epochs in the scientific metric tongue. The known universe is united in celebration, a ceasefire has been negotiated by Empire and the Juela Federation. Both are bound by the accords. No war may be fought. CCLXII million blocks have transpired since Exodus, when the almighty Core made Mother Terra desolate with the fires of it’s Judgement. Punishing mankind for it’s greed and vice. We thank the Core that it extends it’s reach to the outer void by way of the drift gates, unites mankind across the great divide by way of the XII anchor gates and that it continues to be merciful, guide and bless us. All glory to the Core. Amen.”
Love it! But, I gotta be THAT guy: normie 2009 ought to be considered 1 A₿, so this is 17 A₿.
You have to have a year zero.
Why? The transition from 1 BC to 1 AD doesn't.
Because the number had not been invented yet and it's usefulness not yet quantified.
Ironic.
That's a fair point... I hadn't thought of that. Nevertheless, it's not unheard of to hear 2009, for example, also expressed as, "the 2009th year of our lord". Personally, I'd throw my support behind not changing this convention... maybe just because I like the idea of referring to 2009 as either "1 A₿" or "the 1st year of Satoshis".
Or AGB.
After Genesis Block.
Do we really care?
Were winning so hard if we end up debating this type of split hair. Don't we have bigger problems somewhere?
No. Bitcoin already fixed it.
PS... this convention is also consistent with not having a Century Zero - this being the 21st Century (or the 1st Century A₿)
Haha, very nice!
