Hey /sci/
if i gained one dollar per second, how many seconds would it take to get 10 trillion dollars?

Depends on where you live (tax) and if you're married (black hole)

assuming you aren't taken captive to power turbines, eventually you'll die and the notion of "you" will stop making sense, so you'll stop generating money.

It really depends on how good you are at investing and compounding that money

Also, if you were able to find a forward-looking group of very rich people, you could sell your dollar-machine to them for $10 trillion immediately

if they really were forward thinking they'd never give you 10 trillion. With inflation, the value of the dollar machine would decrease.

Assuming inflation is around 2% for the forseeable future, the machine is worth about 1.6 billion of today's dollars

Shit you're right, I didn't think about the fact that the rate of emission is only tied to nominal value in dollars
