Title: 20 Bitcoins or 1 satoshi multiplied time 2 everyday for 30 days
Post by: dx5 on September 25, 2016, 02:24:26 AM
If I were to hire you, would you prefer 14 Bitcoin for one months work, or one Satoshi the 1st day, then that Satoshi turns into 2 the second, then 4 the third, then 8, and so on for 31 days. Don't do the calculations, just gun to your head quick answer.

The one that's doubling clearly. Everyone knows that old 'Do you want $1 million or 1cent that doubles each day' riddle
. It's kind of a no brainer as eventually you'll have 'all of the money' lol.

But what does this have to do with anything?!

Edit: 21.47483648BTC. Looks like I made the right choice. Feel free to send them to the Wallet in my address. Thanks!

At the last minute I changed it from 1 Bitcoin to 20. I knew I shouldn't have. But yeah, hopefully other people answer the question without reading the comments. I'll change it.

1 satoshi doubling every day would be 231 satoshis, or about 20 BTC, on the 31st day. The total received would be 232-1 satoshis, or about 40 BTC.

i would surely  choose 14btc  for one months  work only compare on choosing 1 satoshi  doubling  in  31 days , it wouldnt even   touch on  1 btc  , try to calculate it,  if you  are continuing the work for  longer years  i would  choose 1 satoshi per day doubling forever then  i would be rich. lol ;D

I take 14 Bitcoin up front. I want the money asap because I do not believe you can pay doubling every day.

Why this question OP? Have you just discovered doubling?
The original story is about grains of rice on a chess board. The amount of rice is more than ever produced.

If the work is fixed for a month, then I'll go for 14 Bitcoin fixed rate. However, if the work is more than that, I'll absolutely choose the other way which is doubling 1 Satoshi from the first day up to the last. My decision will really depend on the work's time span.

Don't know why this topic is on speculation board but... Ok, good riddle

It`s safer to take 20 bitcoins right now, who knows will you have money to pay all that doubling in the end of the month. Nice riddle by the way, I get its much better option to choose doubling, but with bitcoins I would like to have them faster in my wallet, who knows what can happen in one month.
And it would be nice I to try to double that 20 bitcoin alone, that would be a one crazy mission. With 20 btc I can gamble like a pro, much more relaxed then I gamble now.

I would probably select the doubling one ofcourse, everyone knows it would reach way higher than 14 bitcoins if we calculate by doubling the amount everytime for 31 times.

I would pick Einstein’s statement, ‘Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world’ and 100% daily interest is not a bad deal. I am not good at math’s but I am very good when it comes make a deal. I would choose second option of 1 satoshi doubled every day.

I'll go with the former option,I'll get more BTC eventually and that's what matters,but I agree this is a conceiving question and a lot will go for the first option which is actually the less lucrative if you look for it

I don't want to complicate things so much, I would be happy to accept the work for 14BTC per month, I am sure that work is not that easy considering you are giving me that big amount of salary, so what it is? Please tell me now. ;D

Mate you will get more BTC with the second option because it doubles and in the end the BTC is more than if you just accept 14 BTC so have that in mind :D

I guess it actually depends on if it doubles for 31 days + you get to keep all of your previous amounts or if you have to give back your previous amount.

I've done so much martingale on 2x so I know without calculating that if January 31st: 1073741824 Satoshi  then if you sum up all the other days of January you'll get (1073741824 - 1) Sats.  :) So the whole payment would be over 21 BTC.

But I'd prefer 14 BTC right now because that's a big money too.

I'll just leave this here for you: 1-800- 522-4700

You know you have a gambling problem when you can't wait a month to earn 6BTC lol. I would suggest giving that # a call ASAP.

Well, thanks for your concern but I'm not a gambling addict. I wasn't saying I'd take those money for gambling. Of course I wasn't going to gamble with such a big amount, but this is just my approach in general: it's better to have something right now than the bigger amount in an unpredictable future.

I would take 0.5 bitcoin every day, even though this is much less than the 21 bitcoins I would get, if I followed the multiplier option. Getting 14 bitcoins for a months work, would be a absolute pleasure. Will I get screwed for this, or will I be the person doing the screwing? My method will guarantee me a steady income per day, and if you stopped paying me, I could just stop working. ^smile^ How many people can say that they earning 14 bitcoins per month?
