Unethical number game suggests that if you invest 5mil into property now, you'd soon afford to double that, then quadruple that, then... By the end of said term, every square meter of Earth would hold some kind of an empty apartment complex.
If choosing the second option guarantees I would still be alive to receive that dollar, then hell yeah.
You will die, come back to receive your dollar, then immediately did again.
I'm sorry.
So you'll receive the dollar and then just die? That's almost like not getting the dollar at all. Think about that
I'd think living for five million years would be a curse more than anything else
It’s not a commitment on our side though, we can stop living when we want to between now and 5 million years later. Imagine loving it and reaching 4999999 years though…
Yeah but... Fuck it; I've got nothing better to do.
Ah fuck, I wanted to say that. 😅
If, in 5 million years, we are still using dollars, then we deserve to be turned into whatever compound Zeeblorp is interested in schmearing on his bagel.
We’ll be using the Eurodollar by 2077. I don’t know what the exchange rate is from dollars to eddies.
Just get a chip from a hotel room, and you'll have all the eddies you'l ever need, I promise
Great, now I’ve got that dude from the Matrix in my head talking about how his dick is bigger than mine.
At last they still have bagels!
If there's no humus to be had, then humanity is doomed anyway.
Nothing like a good hummus bagel.
It will be Galactic dollar, no US dollar.
All the compound interest calculators on websites refuse to go over 100 years so I guess I'll just take the 5 mil 😭
The interest is zero. That's the joke
Oh but the fees are non-zero!
If there is enough deflation, that dollar could actually be worth billions in today's dollars!
I want to get off Mr Bones Wild Ride
That can't be right, no bank could be so evil
Sucks
After 5 million years, a pristine dollar bill will be a priceless historical artifact. I’ll take that.
It says nothing about interest, just that you'd get a dollar. There would be 5 million years of inflation that devalues that dollar and to top it all off we'd all be dead in 5 million years for roughly around 5 million years lol
I'm guessing that current forms of societies that recognise dollars only last two centuries at most.
