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 😉
Yeah my childhood sucked, and knowing I'd have another 12 years of abuse with nobody taking me seriously because I'm a kid? No thanks. I could put $10mil to good use right now.
Mine sucked too but I'm trans and would kill to have known that information from the getgo rather than finding out in my 20s
10 mil is definitely easier, but if you memorized important global events and stock market crashes or explosions you could potentially build an empire. 10 mil would be chump change at that point. You could potentially maneuver yourself into positions of extreme power and help to shape the world, possibly change it for the better in the process.
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
Easy. Bitcoin.
Yeah, get into Bitcoin at the peak investment age of ten.
Edit: JFC y'all, I'm middle-aged.
Do I go back in time to when I was six (red pill then) or am I 6 in 2024 (blue pill then)?
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.
Exactly! In the past, I would have chosen the red pill to change decisions that I made in the past. But today there are some things in my life that are not directly the result of conscious decisions, but that I would not want to miss.
Used to want the red pill but I have a kid now. Resetting would almost assuredly cause me to end up with a different kid.
I’m team blue.
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.
Blue pill. Restarting with all my knowledge, I might end up not meeting my soulmate and not having my kid, because of randomness. I can't have that.
I think between being a cute kid and BEGGING my dad who likes to gamble to invest EVERYTHING on Yahoo! From 1994 until the pets.com Superbowl commercial ad aired, and then just hardlined him into selling, he's probably be able to cut me 10 mil.
Let alone that Id be saying "Microsoft! Coca Cola! Amazon! Apple! Oracle! Pfizer! Johnson & Johnson! Berkshire Hathaway! Wal Mart! And in war years, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin! Intel! Amd! Nvidia!" The whole time.
I'd be a fucking billionaire. Straight up. It would t be gambling, it would be a free money glitch.
Timing Bitcoin right?? Doge?? Get outta here. I'd have more money than anyone on earth.
If I could redo the life I was given with all my current knowledge, 10M would be like the average size of a charity donation or a gift that I would be giving.
Nobody with money to invest is going to listen to a manic six-year-old.
Easy, give me the blue pill. My mistakes and choices have brought me to where I am and have made me who I am. I wouldn't change my life for anything, especially not to correct a few mistakes. Most importantly I may not have met my wife or have my kids if I change anything. I'll take the money and use it to improve the life I have.
My brain says the blue pill because money.
My heart says the red pill because I miss my soulmate and would give anything for a chance with her again.
While I could easily get more than $10mil with my current knowledge (assuming I go back in time to 6yrs old), I would not have the same wife or child as I do now, and there's no way I'll give them up, so I'll just take the $10mil now .
With the red pill, do I go back in time to when I was 6 with all of my knowledge or become a different 6 year old now with all of my knowledge?
Red one gives you both. Literally. Just buy Bitcoin or something.
Except if you have a pretty good life and don't want to mess up the timeline that led you there.
You could get a lot more for buying $20 of BTC in 2010 and selling it in November 2021.
With the red pill, the blue pill is redundant.
Imagine all the sweet sweet bitcoin that you'll sell to invest in Gamestop stock at just the right time.
There's a fuck ton that I would know is coming and have absolutely no way of stopping. That is fucking hell.
There's nearly 0% odds I end up with the same wife and kids twice and I hit the jackpot the first time around. Give me the money.
Since I'm married, blue pill. If I wasn't, red pill all day. I'd be a billionaire by the age of 20
Wait like restart as in go back in time to the year I was 6 or restart as in become a 6 year old in 2024. Because if it's the former hell yeah stocks, bitcoin, sports betting back to the future style. If it's the latter fuck that.
There are pros and cons. First of all, let's assume you go back to the year you were 6 instead of becoming a 6 year old in 2024 (oof). Being an adult in a child's mind, you could basically be a demi-God. You could pick stocks, pick world series winners, and even pick winning lottery numbers if you had that type of thing written down. You would also have your emotional development that you have right now. You would be seen as a wise sage-like golden child. Downside is, if you are used to having a sex life, well, kiss that good bye for at least 12 years. Another downside is living through the period of time when you're going through puberty or have to live with an abusive relative because you're a minor and can't do shit.
I think, all said and done, I'll just take the 10 mil.
I'm taking the money, I don't want to be a child again.
Red pill.
While I could retire right now with the blue pill, I wouldn't be happy.
Red pill means I could spend more time and cultivate a better relationships with the people who actually matter to me. I'd spend a lot more time with my great grandparents.
I could also focus on being true to who I am and not being who I thought others wanted. Basically be who I was in college... But now at 6.
Of course, I could make all the right investments to make a lot of money.
I wouldn't want to just go into the same career. While I might for a while, honestly I'd have the knowledge and money to take a run at a political career.
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.
Red pill, because it'll eventually take me back to this moment and then I'll pick the blue pill.
Blue. I'm pretty solid at the moment. I'm sure I'd lose my son if I started over at 6. So, definitely blue.
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.
Even keeping time travel mechanics and ethics on the side, restarting my life at age 6 probably won’t be very helpful until I become something like 15 so I could actually do something with the knowledge, otherwise I’d probably be called a crazy kid, and couple that with the chances of me somehow fucking up everything and I would much rather have the blue pill.
Red pill easy. Make note of all the stock stuff that comes over the next couple decades, gain more than 10 mill and have more life experience in the tougher times.
It doesn't say you go back in time to being six years old, you start over as a six year old. A six year old in 2024.
Hashtag monkeys paw.
