    Give me a $1.25T market cap and I promise I will deliver perfect continuous uptime forever.

    You will be able to find embarrassing high school photos of ex-Presidents from the 2020s in the year 2400, climate apocalypse be damned. We will be violating spacetime and causality constraints to deliver continuous uptime, if I’ve got $1.25T worth of company to swing around. You will be able to check Facebook by tapping a rock while standing on the moon. You will look at baby pictures of the children of people who haven’t been born yet. The impossible will be made real.

      But actually you are missing the whole point of the connection between money and magic. Money gets its value from creating a desperate scarcity of magic. If you use all that money to create all that magic it would destabilize the balance of nature and thus Kyle the Three Headed Hadal Zone Dragon would rise from the depths and eat you.

      Everything is a zero sum game, even when there are no zeroes nor any sums. This is the way of god and the likeness of the market he created in his image.
