Ill show up to dealership row and just start buying out car dealerships until I hit 100m and have that done in an afternoon

Bad investment, you can’t resell them for nearly as much and you’ve contributed to the automobile industry that is lobbying hard against climate change policy

I’d start buying up mid-sized companies and reorganizing them as worker co-ops. Doing some long-term good while not violating the terms of the contract

If you’re just after the money, do as every billionaire looking to launder some money does and buy art.

Easy, buy up a bunch of land for conservation

Buy $20 for $100 million. If you can “buy” nft’s then Idk why you can’t buy something with less value.

Blue_Morpho ,

The $20 bill has a unique serial number just like the nft.

Alexstarfire ,

It’s even better because no one else can have that same bill at the same time.

HakFoo ,

There are some recent $1 notes where the same serial was issued twice.

Still 2 different bills.

I’ll tell you why: because there’s nothing with less value than an nft.

I just remember the day, as a software dev with a solid understanding of Blockchain, my older dev neighbor started explaining how NFTs worked

I thought he was confused or stupid or something.

“Wait, so like you have these super rare images, proof you own it on a Blockchain, and a link to the place they’re all publicly hosted?”

Him: “Yep”

“And the only use for these right now is as a profile picture?”

Him: Shrug, “yeah, people use them for discord and stuff”

“But… Couldn’t you just download the image and use it anyways?”

Him: “Yeah, it’s all publicly hosted”

And it was about then my brain locked up. I did multiple hours of research later, sure I had to be missing something

You can buy medical debt, that has lots negative of value to the indebted.

…fair 😁

Property can take a while to close — offer to title in under 30 days is on the quick side.

Of course, you could probably close very fast if you offered 100M cash on a 10M property…

Baphomet_The_Blasphemer ,

If you’re buying vacant land and paying cash, you can close really quickly as there’s nothing in need of inspection, and loan processing times aren’t a factor… I have a buddy who just purchased 100+ acres of vacant land from a logging company. He paid cash and was able to close in just a few weeks.

Omgpwnies ,

yeah, usually closing time is just buffer time for people to get their affairs in order, move out, inspections, lawyer stuff, etc. If you offer straight up cash and pay a boatload to the lawyers to get the paperwork done up ASAP, you can close likely within a couple weeks

MNByChoice ,

In “Bewster’s Millions” he also had to have nothing of value at the end.

So yes that is a good method for this formula of the question.

frezik , (edited )

The problem is that it’s so much money that you can clear out the inventory of almost anything you would buy while only chewing a few percent off the bankroll. Provided you can close on them in time, buying up some high end houses, or just a whole lot of land, is probably your best bet. Being a cash deal on your end helps move the paperwork faster. They’re also durable goods that don’t need a warehouse to be stored, and don’t need any maintenance for a while.

I shop at Burgess.

frezik ,

Then you have to pay to berth it somewhere, and for maintenance because your boat touches salt water. Land will just sit there until you can flip it, though you do have some property taxes and insurance. A handful of acres around Beverly Hills will do it.

I like boats. Plus I’m a billionaire now.

Chakravanti ,

Overpay for Monero.

The purchase would be the inflation skyrocket making those in…business…with Monero experience short buff on their previous conduct and product supply quality.

This incentivizes them into produce more products no one else can afford. It’ll buff their stock and increase their desperation to sell.

I’ll be stacked with cash to buy it all with gorram near zero oppositional bids.

If the market is short on Monero for that rate, I can buff the crypto with BTC and Bisq it to what actually fucking matters.

ICastFist ,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

I think that wouldn’t quite count as an expense as it sounds more like simple currency exchange, similar to trading 100m dollars for 90 million euros.

Chakravanti ,

You’re missing what I bought. The Product. Not the Monero. The stuff you can buy with Monero. It’s a whole process sure. But if it took time to receive what I buy do I have to pay for something i may not receive? Can I get credit for something that is stolen from me because I bought it without a third party verification? If I pay 100m now (or whatever, just in principle as part of the whole picture i mean) and match the time before the buy but don’t get my shit for a week which ends over the month agreement with the genie, have I not already made the purchase an get credit?

I mean fuck, at that rate I might just go and buy the market its fucking self. I’ll get one from the genie and a hundred from the gorram market ita0self,

intensely_human ,

So your play is own all the drugs?

Chakravanti ,

My anti-religion practice has zero respect or acknowledgement of ownership outside this skull. So, by function, sure, I can acknowledge what you will do because but that just means a mean to the end which I assure you will create a good sense of mind outside my own.

Krauerking ,

Easy.

First buy up a bunch of housing east of the California fault line and then with the billion get nuclear missiles that I can use to trigger the fault and push California off creating a new coast line and water front property for a brand new tech center of the world.

If I have any left over I can look at maybe getting a space crystal that rapidly grows in water to create a new island that true foreigners won’t be able to step on without hurting themselves.

You got to learn from the best.

Genie never said they’d give me a 100M to spend in the first place. No way I’d be able to spend 100M that I don’t have.

Miaou ,

Find someone rich who would believe you have this pact with a génie, and promise them a 100% ROI.

Thinking of it, that’s not the worst idea for a new sect religion…

First get the spending money then do it. In a non-refundable unable to be altered manner (ignoring the magicially manifesting money part)

YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH ,

Surely the answer to this is to buy really short term options. Bad case is you lose all the money and get a billion. Good case is that you make even more money.

offspec ,

They said no gambling

YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH ,

Wouldn’t that be classified as “investing” at least according to the government.

zbyte64 ,

Genie comes from a time when offering any monetary loan is considered usury, doesn’t care about your governments made of mortals.

Investing is not gambling by any definition.

Short term options, are considered gambling by pretty every investing expert…

I’ll buy $100m worth of stocks from all the public companies every month.

I call it investing if I can reason the reaons for specific stocks.

frezik ,

Stocks are liquid enough that the genie may not consider it “spending”. You could easily buy it, and then just as easily dump it. The move is also big enough that you’ll single handedly move the market in the process.

rottingleaf ,

Easy when there are bad people you’re interested in.

Buy 100M worth of drones with ammo and transportation, only I’ll have to find somebody from former Artsakh Defense Army to ask where.

Or maybe just buy samples of anthrax, bubonic plague, some particular nasty kind of covid and other such nice things, lots of pests able to carry them and, of course, rodents, bribe lots of people on my way and bring all that stuff to Baku.

intensely_human ,

Starting right now, you have $100M in a checking account.

Honest question: do you predict you can have all those drones in your possession, and the account emptied, within 30 days?

rottingleaf ,

No, I don’t. I don’t have a plan and making it will take probably more than a month
