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.
For $10M, I might just retire, buy a house and raise my kid.
Sure beats having to struggle at work.
Absolutely. Anyone who would go back in time purely to make more money is a fool if they think having more than 10 million dollars would make a tangible difference on their quality of life. Who cares if you make a billion off of bitcoin? For 10 mil you can be extremely comfortable and don't have to relive some of the most awkward years of your life. Only way it would be different is if your choices got someone killed or something.
More than 10M gives you the ability to change popular opinions, spur good industries, kill bad business
Enough more lets you hire people who can help spend the money effectively
That's a brilliant way to answer.
Reminds me of the plot to Shrek 4, where he has to find Fiona and get her to fall in love all over again.
That was my thought too. Too risky.
So true. My wife and I are high school sweet hearts but also both very different people now. The boy she fell in love with initially I couldn't properly emulate. We were deep into Christianity and even met at church. We've since both lost our faith. I wouldn't be able to pretend without her seeing through my bullshit.
what if you didnt restart life in the current time but went back in time when you were 6?
Still a massive chance I would never meet my partner.
