>stupid enough to sell it
$72m doesn't seem like a lot of money today.
2022-1867=155 years
They double the money supply every 20 years since 1913 based on gold and other commodity prices, so if we apply that formula, today's value ~ 72m * 2^8 = $18Bn.
Which is clearly bullshit. No one would sell 266m frozen acres today for less than 150Bn. So we are looking at a true inflation in 150years of approx. 2^11 (200000%).
150Bn/266m acres = $560/acre
