According to this in Spring 2018 for 10'000 BTC you can buy Earth and by Spring 2020 whole Milky Way. The growth of Bitcoin purchasing power does not grow exponentially, it will stop and balance out somewhere.

Of course it doesn't.  Just geometrically. 

Only an idiot would think 10,000 BTC will buy the entire planet in 2018. 

It likely will only buy this:

i hear an advertisement coming:

"A year ago, you could buy a pizza for 10,000 Bitcoins;

Now, those same Bitcoins can buy a Diamond.  Call Memory Dealers for more information.

Congrats Roger!  Good luck on procuring a ring with bitcoins.  Hopefully a couple years from now we laugh about how it took so many bitcoins to buy a $50,000 ring.

does anyone else see the irony here?  it would take approximately 10,000 BTC's to buy that ring today.  wasn't Bitcoins breakout heralded by the 10,000 BTC pizza?

Spring 2010 - 10,000BTCs

Because unlike Bitcoins, women are inflationary currency. They are worth less and less over time until the price drops to almost nothing. Cheesy

If you like the woman for her looks, then this is definitely true.

Whereas, if you got a woman who'll stick with you through the thick and the thin (rare), this is certainly not true.

I'm sure Roger's got the latter.  Congrats again, Roger!
The attitude I got from women:

- Why are you spending all day with computer? Are you a admin on deep web forum? You work with other hackers all over the world? Who cares, I better have boyfriend who is DJ in nightclub!
- What are those Bitcoins? Decentralized and anonymous payment system that is not controlled by single entity? I got it, they are exactly like PayPal, only none of my friends have heard about them!

There are few women who like me, but they are too ugly. I better have paid with SolidCoins then these women as a lifetime long partners. So loving the most beautiful girl I know is the best option.

According to the calculator on http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com it would be very close to 10240 BTC at current depth. I see significance in that number.

Congrats on getting married!  Where can I send the wedding gift?

Email sent to bluenile.  I bought my wife's ring from them and had a great experience with them.  It actually wouldn't surprise me if they take you up on your offer.

Also, you can ask Casascius to mint two rings with half of a private key at each ring, and send an amount to that (vanity) address.

Or use the new Multisig feature, P2SH.

And you can make the wedding gift list (I don't know your tradition) at a shop that starts to accept bitcoins. You can receive presents from all around the world.

Congratulations, Roger!

lol, you guys are ruthless. Cheesy
+1

Also what people don't seem to realize is that it takes big businesses to grow this thing. Sure he could buy from a "little guy" but how will that grow bitcoin? Having a large, established business accepting bitcoins shows to others that it is possible and that they should do it.

My fiancé agreed to allow me to buy the ring with Bitcoins, with the condition that I have it by the end of March April 2012.

Marriage comes with conditions?  whodathunk?

50k for a wedding ring!!! Baller!  Congrats Roger!  I am happy for you!

Actually,  if I can't get a major merchant on board with this purchase,  I will buy a MUCH MUCH cheaper ring.

I'm lucky that my fiance doesn't care much about Diamonds or Bitcoins, or money in general.
She just wants a happy family.

then just buy her a 10k  ring she likes and donate the other 40k to bitcoin software developers. much bigger impact. actually pretty much anything would have a bigger impact than buying a wedding ring. put 40k into starcraft 2 tournament prizes and you got tens of thousands more bitcoin users by the end of the month.
congrats btw  Cheesy
