Everyone is choosing red because they think they would be rich, but would they?
Imagine having the knowledge, that you knowingly stepped back in time, and all of your memories are now not real. They won’t happen again unless you actually act exactly as you had before. No one believes anything you say because you are 6. You’re forced to go through school again at 6.
Let’s say you use your genius to progress quickly through school. Those sorts of kids become famous prodigies. You would end up on the talk show circuit with Ellen.
You would also know way more about your parents than you should at that age, and cause familial issues that would land you on Dr. Phil.
Imagine how torturous it would be to relive every moment, not being able to convince anyone of anything due to your age, unless you give up the fact that you were somehow sent back in time and know the future. Would you be able to convince your family without going insane? Would any government agency take qcute interest in your foresight? Imagine having to keep a level head while also going through puberty a second time.
How much will your presence affect the timeline? Maybe your first big move to get rich causes all subsequent moves to not exist. Maybe your parents hate you. Maybe it’s chaos theory. Maybe you end up taking a path away from opulence and become an addict due to the constant anxiety, regret and boredom. Maybe you become a nihilistic mess that drives you to a worse life than you had before.
I’d take the definite of $10M. I know what I would do with it right now. I know it would be good.
Edit: a downvote without a reply telling me how I’m wrong is really an upvote.
I’m not really understanding why you’d need to convince anyone of anything? Why would you need to tell anyone you went back in time? All you need to do to become rich when going back in time is to memorize a winning lotto ticket or to invest in something that you know will make it big. Why do you think that you’d need to convince people you aren’t crazy or whatever you’re saying? Legitimately curious.
With going back and time, you could both become rich and change things and events from your past that you regret.
An adult stuck in a 6 year old body that somehow knows everything and is more mature than their parents and also has money to invest, that I’m sure that won’t rouse any suspicions.
I’d “suffer” through school again happily if I could take some opportunities that once passed me by. I was at a good age when Bitcoin hit the scene. I thought it was not very interesting and probably wouldn’t amount to much… At a time where you could get several a day with little more than the computing power of an era appropriate smartphone.
$10M now vs mining as many Bitcoin as you could back then, and then cashing out when it peaked in 2021… Just that simple change and the 10M seems like nothing.
I also made some strategic errors in my youth, dropping out of school and going to work full time at a dead end retail job, and working there for years before deciding to go and finish my education. I had saved nothing from my time working and put myself pretty deep into debt by the end of it.
By the time I graduated, I was pushing 30, I was something like six figures in debt, and I had no job prospects. I ended up working at a call center.
So yeah, I’ll suffer through grade school and high school again if it means I can do it right. I wouldn’t excel so much that I stood out… Maybe just enough to skip a grade, get started on college just a little bit sooner. Invest any money I had into Apple or something, right before the big iPhone explosion. I would still be financially set for life, knowing what I know.
If your family had a PC at that time absolutely. Just wait for the first inklings and start mining. It was way easier at the start. You’d be able to get several thousands pretty easy. Maybe you get some visa gift cards as a kid for Christmas, dump em in there. Or even just go to any store and use your allowance to buy one. Then sell at the peak. EZPZ
Yeah, you can do that. Bitcoin is anonymous and you could earn it relatively easy when it first came out. If you want to get real fucked up with it you could make even more by appealing to those early black markets and use your age as a cover, but that’s risk.
Where is your initial capital coming from. Less than 100,000 will not get you to 10 mil, even mining at an early age requires either wealthy parents or venture capital.
Running a digital farm takes money. Something you clearly haven’t thought out.
OP has been spamming nonsense memes for a few days now and seemingly doesn’t get the hint that the downvotes mean they should probably touch grass for a bit and re-connect with reality.
I’m liking the “going back to when I was 6 with all the knowledge I have now” option, but in reality 6 year old me would probably be too immature to know I need to remember it and by the time I needed to use that information in any sane way it would have been long forgotten.
I mean some people are saying get bitcoin early days, but 6 year old me was at least 10 years off Bitcoin existing.
It would also really suck knowing how easy it was to obtain information in the future only to be stuck in the past and barely have access to the internet at all.
I think people underestimate how much the physical state of your body, ie hormones brain structure etc play in how you make decisions.
When I was a lad I almost always knew I was making the wrong decisions but felt powerless in the moment to stop myself. I also had basically no concept of the future as a real thing that would happen and could be planned for until I was like 27 or so. Like the logical knowing things part of my brain knew the right moves but the doing things me rarely consulted with knowing things me.
Not to mention that kids have a serious lack of control over their own destinies.
I honestly think going back in time with all my memories is one of the worse hells I can imagine. Just doomed to watch myself fuck up in similar ways again and hope that it all works out “OK” this time too.
Blue. Knowing what I know would make me a fucked up 6 year old. I wouldn’t be able to make friends, I would creep people out or even end up in a mental institution. 10 million wold fix all my current problems. And there wold be a lot left for hookers and coke.
