That still brings me back to "I know what a dollar is worth." The wealth will obviously not be evenly spread so figuring out how much each person might have doesn't really help us much, especially not until all bitcoins are mined. What I (and everyone who wants some part of it) want to know is "What does a bitcoin buy me" and right now literally the only benchmark of that for me is the currency which I currently buy things in.
But it's warped because I can't buy things in bitcoin. Not much, anyway. So I don't know what to think about $1,000 = 1 BTC.
For a currency who's primary promise was eliminating the middle man (payment processors, global exchange rates and so on), I find it ironic that it relies heavily on middlemen for adoption.
