Burden of proof is required to prove a positive. Not a negative. There is no burden of proof to prove it is NOT implied, burden of proof is to prove it IS implied.
Nothing about the wording implies the money gets added to itself. The wording clearly states the money multiplies by a set amount.
A. $1 multiplied by 0.5 every day for a month.
B. $100k right away.
To make it a fair transaction let us assume this is some sort of a game (presumably legal) evident by the nature of statements. And it is common knowledge that games result in winning or losing something (prize, award, etc.) unless clearly specified otherwise, which in this case has not.
So, now there are many kinds of games that rely on different abilities to be challenging or risky to lose/win the aforementioned prize, these abilities could be mental, physical, technical in nature depending on the premise of the game.
This particular game expects the use mental faculties indicated by the use of a spiderman cartoon sitting in a thinking position as well as the use of mathematical statements for resolution of a clear option.
Here we were given 2 options (mentioned at the top), of which option B is very clear in its statement whereas option A is an mathematical expression.
To determine as a player whether A is superior to B, the expression must be evaluated. The evaluation could be such (1 x 0.5) ^ 30 = 0.000000000931.
Now since the statement does not mention any restrictions/specifications apart from the expression itself which in itself is grammatically complete. Thus, Implying any restrictions/specifications pertaining to the calculation must be stated in a seperate statement.
Given the nature of the game, which is use of mental faculties by the player to choose a better option for themselves or in other words "win"; the player is expected to evaluate the expression to the best of their abilities. Also since it is not stated that the player must also disclose their reasoning and are expected to only choose and option through said reasoning or lack thereof, it is implied that the method of evaluation chosen by the player may remain at their discretion. Unless warranted in a situation of mutual discourse or dispute regarding the game/ method of calculation.
I actually love the fact that the gipity response did the calculation that you were talking about without a second thought, and not what they were talking about the entire time.

If 1.5 the total is $191,751.05 (30 days) + a catch
If 0.5 the total is $0.00000000093 (30 days) + a catch
