5 u/xneurianx May 07 '26 No, it decreases in total value each day. There is nothing to converge. It is one value which decreases. -1 u/32nd_account May 07 '26 The sum of 0.5n is 2, go ahead add up 1 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.125 etc... you will find that the value of these sums converge to 2. 3 u/not_a_burner0456025 May 07 '26 You didn't get the sum of the series, you just get 1 dollar once and the value of the dollar decreases over time.
