I’ll go first.

3 options

  • Going back to 1964 to watch the Duke Ellington’s Montreal show. Try to meet the man and the musicians. Hang around my city.
  • Go in the end of the 70s to meet my parents before they had kids. Grab a couple of beers and party with my young adults parents. See my uncles, etc. in their young time
  • Going to 1881 during the couple of days when Nietzsche wrote Zarathoustra. I want to discuss with guy even if he is supposed to be writing all day long. No consequence right.

What are yours?

    I’d do the original Bitcoin faucet a few times for several reasons.

    1. I wasn’t alive much less 18 or older in 1986, and thus selling millions of dollars of stock would raise some eyebrows at the FTC or whatever.
    2. What company would hold it? How would I trust them not to say “Anandoned account. Our money now 😏”
    3. Bitcoin is less tracable either way. The problem specifically said without changing the timeline, meaning that you and your tax documents would be completely oblivious to the stock until you get back.
    4. The faucet used to give out five whole Bitcoins. So like 500k each time. Do multiple addresses and you could easily have a hundred million dollars. I don’t know how you’d keep track of those addresses. Maybe generate them before you go back and store a piece of paper on your body containing the addresses? Make sure they’re the old 1B addresses, not the new ones.
