Make more money.

The result?

Inflation.

Prices soared.
Trust in the currency collapsed.
And the economy suffered.

Prices rose.

Some borrowed money.
Many believed prices could only go higher.
Welcome to the first financial bubble in history.

That's when speculation replaces investing.

The Man Who Bought Manhattan for $24
In 1626, Peter Minuit supposedly bought the entire island of Manhattan for goods worth around $24.

The real lesson:
Great fortunes aren’t made just by buying cheap.
They’re made by recognizing potential and building massive value over time.
Manhattan exploded in value because of what was built afterward — trade, infrastructure, and ambition.
