Also knowing about

  • 9/11 (investing in detector manifacturers, fucking shampoo in small bottles)
  • covid (investing in masks, vaccines, tests and test centers)
  • all the wars: weapon industry in Germany
  • Apple, Google, Amazon, ...

You could just buy stock and get rich without doing anything. If you made such a company, damn.

I mean investing in that post 9/11 stuff would make you rich, then you lend money to those Covid people and tadaa, Capitalism

Also maybe you could change something in the world, worth more than money.

Red pill.

I'd apply myself in high school, force myself to be sociable as a child, graduate with my bachelor's degree 4-6 years earlier with a better GPA, and get work experience and savings well before the COVID-19 pandemic. (I would try to stop it, but if someone told me that they had exact knowledge of the future, I wouldn't believe them, and frankly I would be worried if people believed me without further evidence.)

I don't need or want $10 million.

Red pill only worth it if restarted at 4. 6 is already too late.

Give me the dollar.

I gotta say, the top answer being the 10 million surprised the hell out of me. Especially from someone who's middle aged like myself. I had a pretty bad childhood myself, but the chance to get over 30 years of my life back and the wisdom to make better choices? I'd take that over ten billion dollars, and my life as an adult didn't turn out too bad. No amount of money can buy back your youth. Let alone the possibility of living long enough to see Elder Scrolls VI come out.

Easily red pill. Every issue in my life was caused by my immaturity & incompetence basically so I could easily fix my life from there lol

Also i remember how to setup a BTC mining rig lmao, so that'll make things easier 😁

Blue. I've made mistakes, but I'm proud of how my life has turned out.

Red for sure! I damaged a few body parts that will never really heal and I could avoid that. And with memory 10mil will really be pocket change.
