    I’d take the $10 mil. Childhood seems like it would be a lot less fun if I had to go through it again but now with the jaded mind of a middle aged man.

    I can for sure find a way to have fun with ten million dollars though 😉

    If I get back to 2005 I can easily get more than 10 millions by the time it’s 2024 again. Plus all the other perks of restarting your life

    Blue. No mistake reversion or bitcoin investing would outweigh possibly never meeting my partner again. With Blue, I have everything I could ever want from this life, with red, I may lose everything important to me now.

    Six is a bit early. If I could go back to between age 18 and December 2015

    I could make money and have a way better career trajectory and love life.

    Otherwise back spring/summer 2007.

    6 is pointless. Knowledge and wisdom in a body and brain not equipped for it? Hardcore depression.

    So yeah 10 mill.

    If I choose red, I wouldn’t be able to guarantee my daughter would be born even if I met my wife because of, well, biology, but if choose the blue pill I can make sure she’ll have a huge head start on life from this point out, so blue pill it is.

      Red pill all the way. Personal experience gains to be had. Also of course there is the prospect of crypto billionairedom.

        Depending on your starting point there’s a lot better opportunities out there that are less vulnerable to losing it all to a random hacker.

          Actually bitcoin on a physical harddrive purchased at $50 or below stored in a safety deposit box is pretty ironclad.

          I’m not saying I won’t be buying real estate in San Francisco, Magic The Gathering cards, and shares in big tech, but a solid backbone of 1000x value bitcoin is hard to beat on multiples.

    I grew up in abject poverty. Going back to 6 just means another 20+ years of struggle and hardship.

    10 mill means safety for me and mine for a minimum of 100 years.

    Why would I take the option that includes watching friends die of lack of money all over again rather than the one that results in stability for me and mine.

    Anyone who says go back to 6 comes from family money.

      That’s not a money issue. There are people from poor places that had good childhoods, such as farming families. Not saying there wasn’t struggle tho.

    I’m not sure if people here realize this, but the interest from $10m is approximately four to eight hundred thousand dollars per year.

    So, with ten million, one could instantly retire and never ever have to work again.

    That’s priceless freedom to me, and it wouldn’t require deleting almost all of my friends, relationships, experiences, and who I am.
