the global marketcapitalisation is approximately 630 Trillion USD = 630 * 10^18$ = 630 000 000 000 000 000 000 US$
There are 21 Million BTC available, and one BTC can be split into satoshis. 1 BTC = 10^8 sat = 100 000 000 sat

So if we would replace all available money with BTC:
630 000 000 000 000 000 000 / (100 000 000 * 21 000 000) = 300 000$

That means if all money is replaced by BTC one satoshi equals 300 000 US$ (grats to all us early adopters in this case  Cheesy)
BUT this is NOT possible because how will you buy bread, shoes, everything except you always give 300 000$ and and the trest is the tip  Grin)

So do i have misscalculated ? Is my source wrong ? How would you say this problem can be fixed ?

A source of my information, they got a nice graph, including BTC, check it out!  Wink

That's a big and detailed calculation to take role as an mainstream currency. Reading it one could easily understand the difficulties behind the mainstream flow or for a single currency system through out. A currency value cannot go beyond certain limit which decreases the usability and ease of use.
