Wild that the US purchased 530M acres of pristine land from France in 1803 for just $15M.
Today, $15M only gets you a single fancy house in central SF/LA/NYC.
Opt out of runaway inflation with #Bitcoin https://nostr.build/i/ada5f12526aff4b2b91748766be2b124c07a048f747e65e00f2031f479e0003a.webp 
This is part tongue in cheek, clearly it was a different era, the era of exploring a world with plentiful, undeveloped land.
Still a striking comparison
Vive la globalisatiion avec tous ses effets dévastateurs il en est de même pour tous les princes du Désert du Moyen-Orient qui ont racheté depuis des années de vastes territoires cultivables américains et interdisent l'accès aux citoyens. . Ce qui me fait plus frémir ce sont des zones où passent la réparttion ubuesque de l'eau qui source d'un desatre humanitaire à travers la planète sn plus de nos besoins exponentiels pour la technologie en terres rares..Je m'inquiète réellement peur pour des générations qui vivront ces moments. C'est de l'irresponsabilité totale de la part de ceux auxquels nous avons donnés le pouvoir . Merci pour cette note partagée🫂💜⚡
Or Russia selling Alaska.
Such a small amount of time when you think about in relation to our ancient ancestors or the universe. Pretty wild stuff 👌🏼
That is just wild. Inflation compounds same as interest with just as shocking effects over time.
$100 with compound interest over 100 years will be $1 million, which will be worth nothing because of inflation or have been confiscated by the government. Lazarus Long.
And then this mistake.. https://rumble.com/v2pqwb6-bidens-historic-geopolitical-mistake.html
More that the French were suckers.
I would imagine the french redeemed it for gold, but even then it would only be ~1.4bn today if my math is right which is still a massive bargain.
