Any timetraveler would probably get ton of bitcoins when they first emerge

[-] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 months ago

Depends on when they emerge. Now? Maybe not a great plan, or maybe it is. 2010 or whenever it kicked off? Absolutely. 1750? What’s a bit and how can it help with my upcoming Industrial Revolution

Most of the time people post these questions, the answer is always really boring.

No of course I don't want to get turned into a baby, it isn't useful to me to be a baby, my current life would not be easier just because I was physically younger if I was like 95 then I guess it would be useful but I'm not so it isn't.

At least I've not been asked if I would travel back in time, because that one comes up every 15 minutes and the answer is always the same, buy bitcoin, again boring answer.

I feel like going back in time for it is kinda cheating. The real question is would you do it knowing what you know now but without knowledge of the future.

I’m busy right now, but yea if you told me I had to it’d be cool. New Game+ that shit.

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 3 points 4 months ago

That's way more difficult. Kids these days are told their future's increasingly screwed and uncertain... They can't even enjoy suffering being nagged to "get a job". Our knowledge and skills largely come from a bygone era, where much of it is not worth so much any more, bearing no relevance, holding no traction, to the scenarios looming.

OP has said in a comment here:

Let’s say back when you were a baby

Now there's a baby who knows what they want.

Spend more time with the grandparents. Make more effort towards learning languages and music. Try and have fun with being a kid.

Of course do the get rich stuff when it comes up. Might be able to convince my parents to let me try buying Google or Apple stock and I could buy BTC on my own.

The hard part would be figuring out meeting my wife and having the kiddo. These sorts of "what ifs?" get a lot less fun with those considerations.

Oh man...sadly, I would never have meet most of my friends, which would instantly suck. But I know it is predictable, but I would take advantage of bitcoin mining. I would annoy the fuck out of my parents to get to it. I would seek to get my hands on the internet as soon as possible!

And of course, if I make money on time, buy Pokemon Platinum with bitcoin.

I would use all the money to create passive income, and spend most of my time studying, exercising, taking care of my health, just to go to an university to get a career in AI engineering, knowing how important it would become. But I would try a different path to today's advanced AI, attempting to beat the big companies to it...

I don't get the eat a nickel thing, but the genie version of granting this "wish" is that you're a baby today, not when you were born.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Genie: Well, ok, you're already a big baby, so that was an easy wish.

Same. Mom was a religious nutjob and dad ain't far behind. Nothing could incentivize me to relive that. That's just double trauma.

[-] kevinsky@feddit.nl 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

If I have to get turned back into a baby in place then no thank you, quite happy with life as it is. If we are going back in time there's ofcourse ample time for things like doing the right investments and retiring from work before even leaving school.

And I can find my wife way earlier in life.

A second chance? I still haven't even figured out what to do with my first chance.
