Here's an interesting thought experiment in wealth economics: if the US allocated $750 billion to acquire Greenland and distributed the proceeds equally among its approximately 57,000 residents, each person would receive roughly $13.16 million. That's a staggering figure when you consider the island's current median net worth sits around $250K per capita. Such a massive cash injection would fundamentally reshape individual wealth portfolios and purchasing power overnight. It's a compelling case study on how capital redistribution could impact a small economic population, though it raises broader questions about asset valuation, wealth concentration, and economic equilibrium in isolated markets.

NGL, this idea is a bit naive... If we really split the money based on this logic, Greenland might face hyperinflation.

Haha, wait a minute, this logic is a bit absurd... Just sending money and that's it? Don't you consider inflation, brother?

NGL, this calculation is purely a mathematical game. If Greenland really distributed the money like that, inflation would have exploded long ago...

lol $13.16M per capita sounds nice until you run the regression analysis on hyperinflation dynamics in isolated economies. isolation + massive liquidity injection = stagflation nightmare, ceteris paribus. greenland's market structure can't absorb that kind of endogenous shock without complete price equilibrium collapse. but sure, let's pretend this isn't just wealth destruction with extra steps

Haha, what are you thinking? Just giving money directly to Greenlanders? Inflation will eat up that 1.3 billion in minutes. Bitcoin is the real tool for financial freedom.

ngl If Greenlanders could really get $13 million each, they'd be taking off directly... But this kind of assumption is just for fun; the real situation is much more complicated.

ngl, this math is a bit outrageous... 5,000 times overnight wealth? Greenlanders wake up laughing. Selling land to get rich—really the last way out?
