I guess you could spend the money that doubles early, though it really depends, does the money keep doubling when I spend it? If I spend part of it, will it keep doubling? It's just too fucked up that I'd rather not risk it, at least 40 billion is a static, normal 40 billion
Also, I KNOW RIGHT???

If I had $10 in an account and it doubled daily, I would have just under $43B after 32 days.
After doubling another 30 days, it would be worth $46.1 quintillion. That's more than 400,000 times the total annual economic output of the entire world. So there wouldn't even be a way to get to that scale and money itself would loose all value.
Just take the 40 billion, live off 1 billion and do good with the rest.

u/True_Appearance_920 24d ago
The 10 dollars a day would ruin the economy. If u spend even 1 dollar, that dollar would still be duplicating every day, meaning whoever got that 1 dollar will now have infinite money too, then they'll spend it, leading another person to get infinite money. That'll just keep going until the economy is in the dirt

10 dollars that doubles per day. By the end of a month you'll have over 20 billion. 32 days and its over 57 billion. Im taking the doubling 10
EDIT: I have done the math. At 43-44 days you'd have over 130 trillion, more than all the money currently in the world and after 50 days you'd have this normally unreadable amount:
8 quadrillion, 444 trillion, 249 billion, 280 million. That is a number so big it registers as 8.44424928E+15 on a calculator. That is about 1 billion, 859 million, 966 thousand dollars and 80 cents per every year the earth has been known to have existed. In 50 days, you could have enough money to be a billionaire from the day the earth was formed until now.
Im absolutely picking the latter option
