Something like this was the plot for a twilight zone episode. Some rich rear end in a top hat goes back in time to get richer / gently caress over his rival by buying a field with oil underneath it from him for cheap but forgets the technology to drill for it is like 80 years off. He goes out of his mind trying to explain future technology to people who don't even know what an engine is.

Am I the only one that realizes that if I went back to 6 years old, I would be a child prodigy? Graduate high school by the age of 12 and study university courses that you already know the future of so you'd be a leader in the field. Even if you're not that bright, knowing generalities of what happens in the future is a huge advantage.
I was a child prodigy and, trust me and a lot of other goons, it has nothing to do with being a successful adult. Furthermore, a lot of the people who graduate from college young wind up with severe adjustment problems because they spent their early teenage years around young adults.

A lot of the stuff I know now, I don't know in enough detail to be a savant at age 6. Like, having once known how to prove Gödel's incompleteness theorem is not the same as having any useful grasp of it if current-me is transplanted as 6-year-old me. The life lessons that would be useful (and wouldn't made me rich or famous) would be: realizing that I really had to do rote memorization to study German; realizing that when the professor told me to drop from honors chemistry to regular chemistry I should do it; and understanding Boolean logic before I went to college. But most of the stuff I know now I know because of bad and good experiences, and having that knowledge without having had the experiences wouldn't really work.

Seriously, think about how you feel about hanging around with teenagers now you're an adult. Now imagine being a six-year-old and having to hang around six-year-olds, having been an adult. What are you going to talk to them about?

Oh ok, so they didn't "lose all their money" then. That's unfortunate.

I actually googled this for myself for once and it looks like they spent $700m for naming rights to the arena for the next 20 years. $15m will not matter, at all, to the individual bank accounts of those higher up at crypto.com. Sad.

Whereas I've been thinking gently caress, if I went back in time my dad would be alive. He's a much better person as a memory where I can focus on the good parts and not deal with the bullshit.

No, but 'we got hacked and lost millions of dollars' is pretty much the worst thing you could have happen to you if your whole thing is speculative digital currency transactions. That's like IKEA announcing that their furniture has been melting recently.
