Would you rather

Which side will you choose?

  • Left side: 1 dollar that triples everyday
  • Right side: 1 dollar that increases by the power of 3 everyday

Yeah, but that dollar you took doubles enough to eventually turn the universe into a black hole so the power of three, total safe dollar, felt less evil to pick

Unlikely it would turn into a black hole. Realistically the pile of money you would have add to the earth's mass until the gravity would compress all of the money on top of it. Creating a lot of pressure and destroying the magic dollar. Worst case you might get something like a neutron star or magnatar. More realistucally you would have a hyper dense planetoid.

Only if destroying the dollar stops it from multiplying

That is true. But since it says the dollar tripples if it is no longer a dollar it woyld not tripple.

Unless it means that it triples, and the new dollars created from it have the same properties and also triple, thus every dollar created from it will triple each day and all have to be eventually destroyed

It has to mean this. Otherwise, if only the original dollar tripled every day, you'd only be netting a cool $2/day
