I considered deleting the post, but this seems more cowardly than just admitting I was wrong. But TIL something!

    Why are people upvoting this post? It’s completely wrong. Infinity * something can’t grow faster than infinity * something else.

      Because the number of dollars is not the only factor in determining which is better. If I have the choice between a wallet that never runs out of $1 bills or one that never runs out of $100 bills, I’ll take it in units of $100 for sure. When I buy SpaceX or a Supreme Court justice or Australia or whatever, I don’t want to spend 15 years pulling bills out of my wallet.
