If I had a time machine, I would go back 10 years ago when I first read about Bitcoin and tell myself to put $2000.00 on it. Man that would have been great. Just reading Wikipedia and seeing that B symbol on an article about Silk Road. If only I didn’t wait another 28 months to buy.

If I had a time machine I'd probably go kill hitler or make my self king of the world but ok if making slightly more money and slightly more balls in the bedroom is what does it for you.

What if you found out that killing hitler results in someone more competent taking over Germany? Would you still do it? Personally, I’d pay that art school a visit and bribe them into passing him through. I mean compared to who got accepted, his art wasn’t that bad. It’s a tough dilemma though. The unforeseen consequences of our actions. Also, how come nobody ever says to go back and stop Franz Ferdinand’s assassination? This way you don’t even have to bother with Hitler, his Germany would not create him due to no hard times from the war that he didn’t have to fight in. Personally, I would have convinced the founders to immediately write in an amendment outlawing the breeding and creation of new slaves. Boom civil war averted. Then I would to tell Senator Sumner of Massachusetts what a terrible mistake he was making by blocking the Annexation of Santo Domingo. But selfishly, I would have bought more Bitcoin.

with a time machine you could just win the lottery and just have the money without all the extra legal headaches and like procedural difficulties of withdrawing the money using a time machine for bitcoin is just pure bitcoin brain

The lottery could change via butterfly effect. Time travel would not help you there. You’d find yourself in the wrong timeline when buying the ticket. Investing however makes the easiest and most legitimate sense. Plus the taxes are far less.

This resulted in slightly different numbers getting drawn out.

If buying bitcoin had made sense in the past you would have bought one (and the people buying them don't make sense which is why those people are buying them), and if bitcoin made sense to buy it probably wouldn't be nearly as speculative and wouldn't be worth as much on the market. The reason it's worth so much money is because there's no reason to buy it other than the speculative future value. Generally, any asset whose value is largely/mainly/only speculative experiences incredible price increases as the speculation feeds on itself. The value of a tulip bulb is next to nothing, but the value of the speculation surrounding the tulip bulb is infinite. When you buy the bulb for speculation, you're not buying a bulb you're just trying to buy more money. Who wouldn't buy more money? And if you had a time machine there are a billion better investments you could make that would be safer, more secure, and more profitable for the erstwhile time traveler.

every week I fill out a ticket with the numbers 2-21-20-20-3-15-9-14 since the lottery allows replacement and sequences are exclusive to whomever fills out tickets first, the only winners in over half the time it's been running are Chinese plutocrats who race to buy up half the space and make ~$1000 every draw at the expense of the world's biodoversity but here's this chart to show how I'm guaranteed to win next week:

Not a single person posting here, not on reddit, and not on twitter. This fantasy is just as silly as the Qanon, flat earth, 5g, and whatever other delusional fantasies that people try to have online. Every time you post this nonsense, I read it just like the "for real dog, the earth really is flat!" and it makes me giggle. I guess it could also be a humilation fetish or something, but if that is the case I can continue to laugh and you can continue to fetishize this fantasy.

There's something very sad in there about feeling the need to have the last word I guess, or somehow come out on top... so you see Seraph coming back in again and again bragging about poo poo that nobody could possibly care about even if they believed what he was saying. I think we're supposed to be impressed? Like, why would you post listings of apartments on here? Maybe he expects us to go "drat, living the life uh?" when the inevitable response is a LOL every time. It's so transparent and pathetic. Even if we believed you, it'd still be sad.

It's also why Coinbase kept all those forked coins (Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Cash etc.) for themselves, instead of giving them to their customers.
