It must be time travel or it’s a bad deal - become 6, also orphan or effective orphan, also undocumented, become a missing person in your old self

If that was the deal, the millions side would have conditions like it’s stolen money and the mob know who has it

And where’s the fun in any of that?

psud,

You were the one positing the idea of Bitcoin at age 10. A 10 year old in 2010 would likely have a suitable computer

psud,

Monkey paw is supposed to suck, not be instant death

psud,

I feel like at 6 you’re not going to be tripped up by teenage relationships like you would landing in a hormone flooded/different brain state in your most important social years

It sounds like a plan for having no friends from school

psud,

Taking them in the best order will be hard since the blue pill or its 10M would be left in the old timeline - or if there’s only one timeline, left in the lost future

You could take the blue pill and live it up for however long, try not to die suddenly, then take the red pill. That sounds risky to me

psud, (edited )

More than 10M gives you the ability to change popular opinions, spur good industries, kill bad business

Enough more lets you hire people who can help spend the money effectively

psud,

You’ll want to be pretty old to get in before some of those inventions.

psud,

Back when I was 6, in 1983, my uncle who worked in the oil industry told me about global warming.

I could totally have been a real radical environmentalist, but I was 6.

A second time around that talk would have an impact, and with some foresight for the next 40 years. I think no one would be surprised if I devoted everything to fixing global warming - they might be surprised at my success in the stock market.

psud,

You could run away, roll the dice on the foster system

Or perhaps if the red pill is turn six today variant that pessimists think it might be, you might get actual immortality. Say we work out immortality in 2060, that might be difficult for someone 50 today, but easy to reach for someone 6 today.

WYR have $10M or be a 6 year old undocumented orphan, unrecognised by everyone you knew

It’s clearly go back in time

The choice is

  1. $10M cash right now; or
  2. Practically infinite money, but you have to relive childhood
psud,

With adult knowledge, but your brain would be your age. You’d have the kid ability to learn. Become fluent in another language if you want

psud,

Clear outcome? If red is “become undocumented child in 2023” blue can’t be simple.

Blue would have you watching over your shoulder for who the money was taken from, or the money would be taken off you as evidence of crime, since no one has millions from nowhere, and it’ll be very hard to hide

psud,

Selling thousands at a time as you get closer to the peak.

Many of us are tech nerds. We know that those who lost bitcoin to hacks trusted coin exchanges too much.

The people who kept their wallet offline are fine Those who kept their wallet in the cloud are poor

psud,

Sure, but how was more fun, and I had no moral duty to reply to your actual question

psud,

And cop an investigation for unexplained wealth

Is it unethical to leave a partner? Should we censure Paul Simon for 50 ways to leave your lover?

(Not addressing the kid bit, since it does seem a tad cold to unexistify someone for little fault of their own, also no one but you mentioned kids)

psud,

The kid won’t exist. The spouse will be fine, though maybe not with you

psud,

Spinning hard drives last for decades. You can pretty absolutely protect yourself by storing two with multiple copies of the key each

psud,

Your best bet would be to set fires in both towers, causing their evacuation.

psud,

He wouldn’t get his terrabucks, but he’d get a gigabuck or two

psud,

At ten you might have a computer that can mine a couple of hundred bit coin

psud,

Money can’t bring back mother

psud,

It would be so creepy trying for the same partner. So much of relationship building is learning about each other and you’ll never be surprised by their side of those conversations
