Tonight's discussion was on anniversaries; someone is about to pick up their one-year chip and was feeling a bit squirrelly. A repeated point in many shares was how picking up chips is also for the newcomers, so they can see that it can be done.
A point was raised that someone picking up a 30-day chip can be much more real for a newcomer than someone picking up a 17-year chip. For someone who's trying to get one or two days, it's much more fathomable that 30 days can be reached than 17 years. It's much like me trying to relate to $9,495,692,733,410.24, when what I have in my bank account is $94.24. $1000 is much more real to me, for it's a number I can realistically relate to. I can see me having $1000 in my account, but having $9,495,692,733,410.24 is plain ol' incomprehensible.
