    Or hire better accountants. No, I’m not talking about the creative kind, but the kind that tell you “hey, your cash reserves are projected to be too low” kind. If your accountants are telling you when it’s too late; you are losing. Hard.

      Cashflow management, but that is mostly up to you. They can’t stop you living beyond your means just tell you what those means are. Another example (in countries that have it) is GST/VAT that you collect and pay the government later assuming you didn’t spend it!

I somehow broke it, I got a $5 investment against a $998B valuation and then sold it for $199B to gain $1.9T of profit??? Edit: "You get $InfinityB" I think I won. https://www.fundingsimulator.com/?data=EL%2BVcsg%3B%3BYou%2C100%3Bp%2CSeries+A%2C1%2C0%2C10%2C1%2C%3B2%2C20 https://www.fundingsimulator.com/?data=EL%2BVcsg%3B%3BYou%2C...

    Probably the annoying taxman who takes 20% of your $infinity, which just so happens to also be $infinity.

      Your infinity is larger though so it's all good.

        Not quite, anything subtracted from itself is zero. However, if you send me Infinity bitcoin, I will send you 10 Infinity bitcoin back (I am Expert Hacker).

        No, not all infinites are the same. For example uncountable infinites are all larger than countable ones.
