I'm looking forward to an epoch when current block height is a normal reference towards time.
Recently in a discussion with some businessmen and we referenced a time frame by block height, and they loved it. Could this be the new standard of business in the near future?
Last year I saw someone made a wristwatch that displayed the block height on twitter, and it was sick! Can't wait for that to be a thing, "Oh hey, let's meet for drinks around block 840,000." IYKYK
Just another thought project...
I think GPS is a better source of time. It's more exact, more predictable. https://www.gps.gov/applications/timing/
For decentralized bitcoin applications however, using block height for time might make sense because it's exact-enough and predictable-enough.
Squeaknode for instance using block height for time: https://github.com/squeaknode/squeaknode
Oh nice, I'll have to check this out!!
