Infinite loops can be a pain in programming, because in most of the cases they will definitely want to be avoided,
but in some cases, such as incremental games, they are neccessary, so I have investigated how to do it in PureBasic.
The trick is to create a loop that runs as long as a condition is true so we have to make sure that the condition never becomes false.
The following loop will create a floating point number variable called StartingBalance and initialize it with the value 0.00000000
Then the loop will always increment it by 0.00000001, because if we start at 0 and always add 0.00000001 it will never be negative.
Since you may also want to wait for a while until the loop does the next incremental step I have added a delay of 1000 milliseconds, too.
The result will be printed in the debug output inside the PureBasic IDE for fast testing if it works as expected.
; This infinite loop will increment StartingBalance by 0.00000001 every 1000 milliseconds
Define StartingBalance.f = 0.00000000
While StartingBalance.f > -1
StartingBalance = StartingBalance + 0.00000001
Debug "You have " + StartingBalance.f + " BTC."
Delay(1000)

If you execute the code in the PureBasic editor the result will look as follows:
