This unfortunately reminds me too much of stellar evolution timetable[1]: > Star burns through a succession of nuclear fusion fuels: Hydrogen burning: 10

This unfortunately reminds me too much of stellar evolution timetable[1]: > Star burns through a succession of nuclear fusion fuels: Hydrogen burning: 10 Myr Helium burning: 1 Myr Carbon burning: 1000 years Neon burning: ~10 years Oxygen burning: ~1 year Silicon burning: ~1 day (...and then it goes supernova.) I hope Bitcoin's end is not as violent. :/ [1] http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~pogge/Ast162/Unit3/supernova.html http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~pogge/Ast162/Unit3/supe...
