Australia is not a continent...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_%28continent%29

Quote
Australia (sometimes known in technical contexts by the names Sahul, Australinea or Meganesia, to distinguish it from the Australian mainland) is a continent comprising mainland Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea, Seram, possibly Timor, and neighbouring islands.

It is the smallest of the seven traditional continents in the English conception.

no comment.... just saying there is obviously a prevalent enough school of thought that believes it is....

Well, this is new to me...

But in my defense, apparently, in my language it is not, we never refer to Australia as a continent, the continent is Oceania.

We do the same in Greece (now I'm in the US).


On another note, I was initially expecting North America to take the lead.

But it seems that Asia will be winning. (Due to a big population, and apparently a lot of people who know about bitcoin).

Australia is not a continent...
This confuses me every single time and more I research about it more uncertain I get about it.
Wikipedia says Australia is indeed a Continent and that is what they taught me in school ,   but what is " Oceania " that confuses me?

Australia is not a continent...

There are many ways of thinking about that matter.

In the 7 continent model, Australia is a continent!

In any continent model in fact, Australia is a continent!

4 Continent model: Afro-Eurasia, America, Antarctica, Australia
5 Continent model: Africa, Eurasia, America, Antarctica, Australia
6 Continent model 1: Africa, Europe, Asia, America, Antarctica, Australia
6 Continent model 2: Africa, Eurasia, North America, South America, Antarctica, Australia
7 Continent model, As it is above....


So, Australia is a continent! And you are totally incontinent. Just kidding!

FURring bitcoin up since 1762
I don't feel comfortable revealing my current whereabouts. I mean, there are quite a lot BTC at stake here! How many people do you think have BTC in Antarctica after all???

i think a lot of people !  In any case i'm in Europe .

Really? But mostly I guess those people are scientists researching very very cold snow! Or people who don't want to be discovered. But I guess the scientists all know each other and if word makes the rounds that someone has a huge stash of BTC there, they'd immediately try to shut that someone out of the research station and leave them to be pecked apart by the penguins  Cry Undecided
