Other than my health challenges I wouldn't change much. I also wouldn't want to relive the pain of loss either. So I'll take the 10 BTC now and walk.

I chose the first option, 10 BTC right away.
Because with the amount of knowledge I currently have about Bitcoin (which is basically close to zero), I probably wouldn't have managed to get rich off it back then… or now either, haha. And honestly, even if we include knowledge in some other areas, probably not then either xD.

Okay, I'll be serious now.
What influenced my decision the most was the part where you said you met your wife earlier, which made the choice easier for you. I met my fiancé in 2019, so I was guided by that. Although… if we believe God arranges everything and that we're soulmates, we would probably still find each other even if I went back to 2010, just a bit wiser than I am today. If I even am. xD

Really interesting question. Let's say I'm sticking with the first answer; at least for the next few seconds before I change my mind. I'm hitting the reply button quickly.

Back in time for sure :)

Very complex indeed, but before I can answer the question below, I do have another question.

You take the other pill you get to go back to 2010 with all the knowledge you have now.

Will my wife also be 10 years younger? :)

I'd go back to 2010 for sure. I dont think you would have to wait long to make a lot of money. You could trade your way to millions just knowing the bull and bear cycles and then invest that money in all kinds of stocks to keep you going. I wouldn't need a billion $ to be satisfied. 50-100 mill would be more than enough for me. To be honest even with 10 million 10 years ago Im pretty sure id be able to live very comfortably the rest of my life, even without having knowledge on how the stock market was going to do. Even just normal conservative investing strategies can turn 10 million into a lot more over time.

Hehehe, I'd go back to 2010, although thinking about it, I only had one year in 2010, so I don't think I would have done much; I just would have stopped buying sweets and saved up. But I don't know, thinking about it, I think I went back from 2036 to 2026 and I see myself buying a ton of Hive right now, but the best part is that I don't remember anything about my future; I'm just living my 2026. The only information I have is something that tells me to buy a ton of Hive.

I will always choose knowledge over money and if I could go back to 2010 with what I know now, I could make 1m BTC, not 10 😆 There are a lot of reasons why I would chose this option, but I don't want to write a book 😜

I never even thought about the money. You can keep the BTC. I don't want to go back. I would take the opportunity to fix a few things I messed up. If you would lend me an eraser, I could erase those things I regret and redo. I'd like to go farther back, though. A lot of erasing to do.

Not life, though. Not all those years relived. The thought of it makes me weary.

If I knew what I know today, going back to 2010 would be my choice. And I'll explain why. It's not just about Bitcoin. My maternal grandmother, who raised me when I was little, passed away in May 2012, and my father in September 2012. If I had the opportunity to hug them again, it would be worth more to me than anything I could have in the future or the present. I know it's a childish answer, but that's what really comes to mind. You can't be so simplistic in this game, I know that. The implications of suffering a second farewell to both of them... all the pain of mourning. But I would definitely choose the second option. I would take the red pill.

The 12-year wait is a small price to pay for the sheer amount of suffering you could alleviate with those resources later.

The only thing to do is go back in time, so many possibilities. A paltry 10 BTC now is nothing compared to the billions you would earn from your knowledge of future investments over the next 16 years! Plus I would have had the chance to get out of my marriage much earlier on, so a huge win/win! lol

As soon as I can have the nuclear flex capacitor and computer AI Chronometer installed in my 2021 Nissan Leaf EV, I'll be good to go. I'll have to pick up and old Samsung smartphone from a business I know before I go.

I would definitely pick going back in time with the knowledge I have now...

Going back seems obvious, until you really think about it. Every little change you make would change who you ended up becoming and change the path you took, so almost nothing you remember about the last 15 years would be the same, and the resulting you would be different as well. All the people you met and the context you met them in would change as well, meaning some friendships you have now would no longer exist.

It's simpler for me. My kids were born after 2010. Chances are pretty slim my wife and I would be able to get the exact same egg and sperm to line up, meaning our kids would be different.

10 BTC would be fine for me.
