    Is it compound or straight percentage?

    Cuz if it’s just straight percentage then it’s $20 a year, whereas if it is compound then it’s a 2X multiplier every three and a half years roughly.

      Compound, which more closely models the actual rate at which computing power has grown over the years.

          Or you could wait 70 years and leave 34 million to people in your will… The point is that there is no mathematically correct choice.

            I think I got about 77 years left in me, unless somebody comes along and kills me that is.

            That at least would be $125 million which isn’t too shabby. I find it hard to believe that anybody would say that $125 million 77 years from now would not be a considerable amount of money.
