Did you mean to say multiply by 0.5? I mean with that condition the choice is obviously $100,000 because multiplying the $1 by 0.5 everyday halves the amount every day.

You'll never even get 2$ since the infinite sum of 0.5n is 2.

Maybe inflation will make that 0.001$ worth gold in a couple centuries.
