A couple of days ago there was a story going around about customers of Chase Bank in the United States waking up to find themselves $49 Billion in debt! It was a glitch on Chase Bank’s end, but it caused some hilarity online. Most people impact saw the humour in it, and so did the Star FM audience. Unless you’re Jeff Bezos or Donald Trump, being $49B in debt isn’t a major concern.
Today we get to do the opposite. This morning I was reading a story about a guy that invested $20 into a cryptocurrency trying to make a little cash on the side, and to his surprise, it worked too well! From $20, he’d managed to earn $167 Trillion! Unfortunately, it too was an error, much like what happened with the Chase Bank customers. Truly though, we live in weird times. One day a person can wake up and be a trillionaire or be billions in debt. Probably not something we’ll see happen too often in years to come, but if either was ever legit it would be worrisome for the debt, awesome for the trillions!
