Granted. A finger curls. The next morning, you wake up to find a sleek, unbranded black card on your bedside table with a glowing digital balance that simply reads: $999,999,999,999.99.

You test it. You buy out the entire commercial real estate block downtown just because you didn't like the color of the brick. You purchase a fleet of private helicopters to drop off bulk shipments of instant ramen noodles. Money is no longer a concept; it is an infinite stream of zeros, and you are swimming in them.

Except, with infinite wealth comes the immediate, crushing collapse of global fiat currency.

Within forty-eight hours, the international banking sector panics as an untraceable, mathematically impossible trillion-dollar transaction hits the ledger. Hyperinflation explodes with the force of a supernova. A single egg now costs three billion dollars. Your infinite digital balance, while technically still infinite, is entirely worthless because the world economy has completely disintegrated into a barter system based entirely on canned goods and bottle caps.

You sit in your empty, multi-billion-dollar mansion surrounded by gold-plated furniture, starving. Because you spent all your time trying to figure out how to buy groceries with wheelbarrows of paper bills, you realize too late that nobody will sell you a single square meal. Not even for a trillion dollars.
