How do I make billions of dollars....

[Kangirl]

1. Selling a product of some sort/business.
2. Marrying into it.
3. Crime on a massive scale - probably involving the drug trade?

Invest in gold and then crash the economy beyond repair.

 

[FDG]

Marry a billionaire woman.

If you have the capability, design and patent something that will be used in the renewable energy arena. There's going to be alot of money thrown at that world-wide in the future. If you don't have the capability you could always organize those that do. Either way there are no guarantees. Without hard work I'm pretty certain that the only way would be luck. Even if you love it your still going to break a sweat.

Nevermind, most of you people do not read Marx so you can't understand it.
Even I have problem understanding marx.

Producing things for market consumption is obviously hold more advantage than producing things for your own consumption, and there is trade also.
These are the forces that define the workings of the capitalist economy. ( I don't know how that happens in history, but it somehow happened)

The problem is that you can't create a machine that print money, so you have to produce something that people would want and trade for.

Reproduction is kind of like a recyclign process.
You use capital and wealth (money)to produce labor, which inturn can be traded for more wealth (money).

capital is non-money wealth, I am guessing.

Yea, I agree with the part about renewable energy, alot of major bucks floating around for that one.

Luck? well by definition luck any thing could happen, like there is a possiblity he can instanteously appear on the other side of the universe or walk thru a wall but the probability is low(Priniciple of Uncertainty)

Even for the ponzi scheme I think he is going to have to break a sweat.

renewable energy is extrmely capital intensive. it is probably not a good option to pursue unless ytou have the know-how. The common people do not buy green fuels unless peak oil or peak coal is reached and there is no other opiton.

I think seeing the connection between labor and consumption is essential to any successful business.

Rob a bank, perhaps?

Come on people, use your brain.

Now I realize how to explain reproduction. It is the act of using money to produce more money. People accumulate their fortune this way.

I doubt the only way to get more money is to get a machine that prints money.

Take one dollar and win roulettes 27 times in a row.

 

[wolfy]

Use your brain

 

[Fluffywolf]

And my brain says that gambling wields the greatest chance for 99% of the world population, to earn billions. xD

Winning 27 times in a row has a 1 in 2916 chance of succeeding. On a world population of 6 billion people, this would mean that 2 million people would become billionaire's this way.

Turning 6 billion dollars into 2 (how much is a million billion?) dollars. (Since all that loose would only loose a dollar most.).

Unfortunatly, casino's don't have that kind of money.

 

[Fluffywolf]

You know, when you think of it that way. You have a chance of becoming a billionaire by spending 2916 dollars.

Ofcourse, chance is relative. You might not get the monies until you've spend like a million dollars. Out of the 6 billion dollars spend on the world population, only 2 million get the win. If you keep ending up on the wrong side, tough luck.

I dont know how to play roulette, but even if you have a 50% chance of winning in one go. The probablity of winning 27 in a row is
(1/2)^27. Which is like 1/7,450,580,596,923,828,125.

This assume all the chances are independent.

 

[Fluffywolf]

Ehh, probability factor are mathematical terms to reach near certainty. But I doubt you would need to flip a coin 7,450,580,596,923,828,125 times until you have throw heads 27 times in a row in actual practice.

Maybe even longer, but when you have time write a program, with a random function
and see how many times it will take before you get heads 27 times.

I am going to do that now, since you said maths is different than in practice.

 

[Fluffywolf]

Well, I maybe worded it wrongly.

All I'm saying is that it's a parabolical function.

The chance to get close to the mathematical number 1 is parabolical, 1/100000 might already have a 90% chance, even though to reach as close to 1 as probability applies, is 1/7,450,580,596,923,828,125

So, in practice, you will most likely reach the winning number WAAAAY before the mathematical probability factor.

import java.util.*;
public class CoinToss {


public static void main(String args[]){
int count;
double tries = 0;
int end = 20;
count = 0;
Random rand = new Random();
while(count < end){
tries++;
int num = rand.nextInt() % 2;

if(num == 0){
count = 0;
}else{
count++;
}

if(tries%100 == 0){
System.out.println("The number of Tries: "+tries);
}
}
System.out.println("The number of Tries: "+tries);

}




}

 

[chegra]

It works up to 20 but crashes on 27.

 

[chegra]

Yes sometimes it might come before in practice but the mathematical value you gives the most likely value.
