Update: It was a mistake to chase this path. I was tempted by the possibility to reach an immeasurable growth rate, but now I am left without anything. Even when the cracks started forming. as the numbers grew to be negative I kept clawing. I saw that despite what it said the amount I had still continued a steady rise. I kept going believing that just over the hill, I may find that which I seek. As I finally stumble down the other side I see only the barren fields of my greed and stubbornness. While it may continue growing, it is only in it's monotonous, slow, creep.

Anyways! In simpler terms, I continued getting "the point" in it's free state, eventually however, I think it kind of broke the game. The $/S became negative (I forget at which number specifically) despite this I was still earning money, albeit at a slower rate. I continued to buy "the point" since as I continued the negative number got smaller. eventually I managed to get it all the way down, but then the $/S just disappeared and it doesn't seem like the rate at which I'm gaining increases when I buy other things. Currently "the point" is at 6503. Take my advice, though the glitch seems tempting don't keep buying "the point" when it costs money.
