$10 Billion Dollars or Ability to Go back in Time Once & Retain Knowledge of Future

[SterlingStained]

If you had a choice between getting 10 BILLION dollars right now, or the ability to go back at any point in time and retain all the knowledge you have accumulated from present time to use when you go back in time,

which would you choose?


Option A - Get 10 billion dollars right now, tax free. In any form you want, gold, cash, stock options etc....

Or

Option B - ability to go back in time once. Retain all the knowledge you have accumulated from the future. you can go back in time as you are or you can go back in time physically at any age and still retain your knowledge and life experiences that you accumulated.

which option R U Picking?

Go back in time easily... With knowledge of the future you can make yourself rich anyway. Plus you can manipulate other things in your favor.

Its gotta be option B, I'd go back to the 80's, I wouldn't go any further than that.

Out of curiosity I looked up Berkshire Hathaway shares in 1980's , $290 a share, now $311,547.70.

Option B for sure! 10 billion wouldn't be worth being able to fix the things I would go back and fix. I would go back to being a child and spend way more time with my loved ones that passed away. So many mistakes to fix knowing the legit outcome of my wrong decisions. You could use your knowledge to gain more than 10 billion too but I honestly wouldn't do it for the $. The time I wasted and could've spent doing things and spending time with my Dad and Grandfather would be worth more to me.

Option A. $10B is an insane amount of money that'd make me one of the most wealthy people on the planet today.

Option B is gonna make you more money cuz future knowledge has unlimited potential & unless you were a complete ass clown you would be a lock to become the richest person in history. BUT I would find re-living the past anxiety inducing I think. It'd be cool to know everything basically in that world, but re-living the whole year thats already happened would freak me out a lil I think. And I'm more interested in future sh^t then past sh^t so playing Mike Tyson's Punch Out & watching old movies I've seen a hundred times & doing so many "old things" would be beyond f#cking weird so idk I could even fully enjoy all that my money could bring til I re-lived all the years up til the most recent.

Although I guess if you got prep time with a newspaper & can take your net worth back with you you could just go back 3 months ago & place some bets on long shots in sports, make some stock market moves or whatever & come up real quick without people thinking your a space alien or some sh^t. I mean how much money could you make just betting sports daily if you knew all the results? Just do some crazy parlays & you are killing it. A $100 14 team parlay at -110 = $850k. Would have to be semi-smart to avoid running into trouble doe I'm guessing & mfers will be banning you with the quickness from their sportsbook.

exactly.

even armed with the knowledge of great companies and great inventions, its not a given that you could recreate that. take for example facebook or amazon or ipod/iphones.

you would need the technical knowledge to create the products and sustain the company.


if you are just a regular dude just want an easy degenerate life, go take the 10 billion upfront.


if you have righteous reasons and want to actually change the world and not just be rich, then you take option b. taking option b does not guarantee you 10 billion. most people wouldnt know what to do even if they had knowledge of the future and went back in time.

Go back in time and enjoy myself. Life is precious, especially when you're young and dumb

And I'd make winning bets on sports, like my boy Biff in Back to the Future.

Purposely lose a few so I won't look suspicious.

Take the money and make investments and start businesses. Probably won't make $10 bil, but I could still be filthy rich.

If I was a real a-hole, I could write hit songs that I learned throughout the years before the famous bands get a chance to and live the rockstar life. Not sure if I'd do that, I'll probably just bet on sports.

[abracada]

Google, apple, all the lottery results.... more than $10b there

Brother you just hijacked the plot of Hot Tub Time Machine I think.

But yea a ton of dick moves you could make. I'd copyright Lets Get Ready to Rumble to f#ck up Michael Benedict Buffer's career. He'd still be saying that lame ass "Man your battle stations" line on club shows on the west coast.

And in general I'd be Forest Gumping the f#ck outta history & be in all the hot spots on the timeline.

$10 bil... i aint got time to use for all of what i have learned by going back in time. just give me $10 bil up front and im str8.
