- sdflhasjd 3y agoProbably the annoying taxman who takes 20% of your $infinity, which just so happens to also be $infinity.
- gtirloni 3y agoYour infinity is larger though so it's all good.
- blackmesaind 3y agoNot 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).

- lagadu 3y agoNo, not all infinites are the same. For example uncountable infinites are all larger than countable ones.
- blackmesaind 3y agoBah, you could never convince me aleph numbers are real!

- Aeolun 3y agoI think if someone takes 20% of your infinity you are still left with infinity?
- latency-guy2 3y agoTo be accurate, you're left with undefined. But not really, the taxer actually controls infinite, person paying the tax has to figure out how to divide their infinite up.
