  • I have a theory about this: We group money in magnitudes of tens up to a million but then jump up from 10x to 1,000x:

    1

    10

    100

    1,000

    10,000

    100,000

    1,000,000

    1,000,000,000

    That’s a huge increase but our minds like patterns so we instinctively feel that a billion must be about 10x a million and not the 1,000x it really is, thus leading to huge inaccuracies.
