“If you found a treasure chest buried in your garden, what would you most like to discover inside?” I would like to find a cryptocurrency wallet that contains 100,000 US dollars worth of Bitcoin invested from February in 2011, which today would be equal to 13,772,595,474.61 USD, which is 13 billion USD if the number is too big to read. There’s an abundance of things you could buy with 1 billion dollars, a full garage of flashy sports cars, a collection of shiny Rolexes, a wardrobe of designer fur coats, exclusive sneakers, Pokemon cards, videogame currency, charity, start a real estate empire, and more. Now imagine 13 of them.  And I’m not saying 1 billion is small, it’s made up of 999 millions, which you could buy 500 lush islands, which are all 1 million dollars, and then spend the other half on a shiny sky scraper. But what if you spent 10 of the 13 billion dollars, which raises a question; What can you buy with 10 billion dollars? If you use it all on one thing, you could buy the Dallas Cowboys NFL team, if you wanna buy two things, you’d be able to buy the Burj Khalifa complex for 5 billion, and a large diamond mine. And finally if you wanted to buy 10 things with 10 billion dollars you could buy one Mona Lisa (roughly) worth 1 billion, the one billion dollar Apple Park in Cupertino, California, one Queen Mary 2, which is a Luxury Ocean Liner worth 1.1 billion, and more. Even if you bought 7 more things with 1 billion, you would still have 3 billion left over, and 1 million isn’t small either. But it really shows just how much stuff you can get with 13 billion, and maybe “money buys happiness” is true.
