Today, 8 May 2017, Apple reached a new high score in market capitalization. It passed $800 billion and stopped at $817.4 billion according to NASDAQ AAPL index. Isn't that amazing? I am not a huge fun of Apple and their I-series products, but the numbers are incredible, if you think about it. Take, for example, a Turkey's GDP. By 23 April 2017, it's $793 billions. Apple has more money then Turkey. And Turkey is 17th in the list of countries by GDP. And there are ~193 countries in the list. It means Apple is richer than 177 countries of our Planet. Basically, Apple can found a new state. After thoroughly thinking about that, I have a controversial opinion. On one side, it is awesome. Apple is doing great and demonstrates a great results, an example of a successful company. On the other, however, it shows how uneven wealth is distributed in our world. No matter what, It's a wonderful time to live in. And one more. The price for 1 Bitcoin has exceeded $1,800. It worth more than gold now. Just WOW.
