My initial pick was red. It seems we've all forgotten about the butterfly effect:
1. If you go all in on BTC, you might mine the BTC that was supposed to have been spent on pizza. Without demonstrating its value, it doesn't catch on. You don't get rich.
2. If you do better in high school, and get into a better college, you're going to displace someone who would have gone there in the original timeline. Don't think this is bad? There's a famous example of someone going down a bad path for not getting into art school...
This really seems like a Monkey's Paws situation...
Taking the green is cleaner, but it doesn't specify where the money comes from.
1. If someone else's money gets transferred to you, then that's an obvious butterfly effect.
2. If new money is created, it may be flagged as counterfeit, or it could be the straw that breaks the camels back towards some inflationary event.
So my final choice is... I will not be pressing either button!

Green button = You instantly receive $2 million (tax free).
Red button = You go back in time and restart your life at 10 years of age, with all the knowledge you have today.
You can press just once. Which do you press?

FOUNDER JUNTO ยท Tue Aug 25 ยท 12โ5PM ยท Blockspace Philly
A third space for founders, creatives, and engineers. No agenda. No schedule. Free coworking.
Just show up and work. Bring whatever you're building, whether that's shipping code, sketching an idea, or pushing your startup forward. Post up, get heads-down, and grind alongside other people doing the same.
The point is simple: good company, no pressure, real work.
(Name's a nod to the Junto โ the club Franklin ran in Philly starting 1727, where tradesmen and thinkers met to sharpen each other. Same idea, different tools.)
And to the team making it run: Aryan Katragadda Isayah Young-Burke Randall Spence Nolan Makatche FACTORY GTM Ship Systems and Liam Fitzgerald.
Free to attend, but the room only holds so many. RSVP below while there's still space!
@drantbradley This is probably more useful than a lot of their degrees, but you could probably get this for significantly cheaper with a creator's course
