    No. It’s a thousand. Which is closer to zero than a billion.

    Edit: You’re talking absolute values so the difference is 999 million.

    While I was talking ratios hence the ratio being 1:1000. My bad.

      It’s the best way I’ve found to illustrate to regular people how fucking massive the wealth accumulation is.

        If you count 1 number per second it takes TWO WEEKS to count to a million.

        However, it would take 33 YEARS to count to 1 billion.

      lol. I think your post shows just how hard it is to fathom a billion better than any numbers could.
