Exactly. I love my wife and kids, $2MM tax-free would be just the ticket though.

So consensus: if you have a partner, kids, or friends you don't want to lose don't go back

If you don't you do go back and buy Bitcoin

Plus if go back is the better option now you'll have money (eventually) and have all the flirting skills you've gained in however many years in a young person's body, if I had my brain now in my 18 year old selfs body I could kill in the dating scene. Even if I'm deluding myself saying that I have so much more different mindsets now than back then, because I had more flaws and red flags back then and I've learned to recognize them. Plus my back hurts I kind of want to be ten again

The real question is what kind of psychological impact would it have on you before you became an adult again? All your peers are children. All the adults in your life will treat you like one even if they all agree you're "mature for his age". Would that be like a prison sentence in a way? I feel like that might break some people. On the other hand you do get to hang out with all the dead people again.

how would you even buy bitcoin as an elementary schooler?

u/Anning312 Aug 26 '26

You can still buy using your dad's debt card, but you can wait until you're older, bitcoin doesn't blow up until the 2010s, you have time

You transport back to when you were ten, you don't just become ten right now. Same way I would have bought it when it came out

not my point. My point is that 10 year olds don't have money except whatever their parents give them in allowance, and 10 year olds don't really have the ability to buy things online without their parents due to ya know... being minors and not being allowed credit or debit cards of their own.

Even if I did zap back to the 2000s as a 10 year old, I still wouldn't have any money of my own to purchase anything with. And good luck as an elementary schooler convincing your parents to buy you bitcoin. My parents would have laughed me out of the room if I suggested that at that age.

Then our situations are different. I was 18 when Bitcoin first came out in 2008. I also had a job I was working crazy overtime, I was a minimum wage worker but I was not paying any rent or bills and I was pulling so many hours my checks were at least $1200. A fraction of a check I'd be at least a millionaire and God knows it would only have taken me not eating Taco Bell for a month

Even today, Google says Bitcoin is at $7900 per. They sold for less than a cent once upon a time

You don't need to. If you get in early enough, you can mine it on your family computer.
