> CB : Now that's interesting. Are you saying there is an infinite amount > of money in the world ?
No! Because, the number of transactions that took place was finite. For there is to be infinite amount of money, we need to sit and wait till eternity. Here is a joke: One day one of the king announces a competition open to men. The award to the winner is marrying the princess, the king's daughter. A mathematician and an engineer enter the competition. The competition turns out to be this: the princess will stand at one end of a room and the competitors will walk to the princess from the other end in such a way that each step they take will be half of the previous step. Knowing that it would take infinitely many steps to reach the princes and he will never reach the princes, the mathematician gives up immediately. But the engineer starts to walk to the princess. They ask the engineer: Look, this smart mathematician immediately figured out that he would never reach the princess and did not even try. Why are doing this? The engineer replies: In the end, I will get sufficiently close for all practical purposes. Luckily, I am both a mathematician and a mechanical engineer.
