    Fun in this thread to identify who is a white man by whether they’d even consider being safe visiting the past

    I would go back to the inception of Bitcoin start some kind of shop, maybe pizza ice cream and donuts and offer products for Bitcoin. Any profits I Madoff non-Bitcoin sales I would sink directly into getting people to give me more Bitcoin.

        You’re right you’d probably have to be careful. Might need to balance the purchasing with mining.

    Was there every a better moment to see if you can ride a T-rex? See the dinosaurs walk the earth, experience the wild nature that must have been around back then. I bet we don’t know about a lot of the amazing things from that time.

    Of course you would have a hard time trying to survive, but it would be cool. Dangerous, but cool.

    As a woman I’d rather not go into any distant path.
    So i choose last year and slap myself before I do an especially stupid thing that caused me near financial ruin and drained what little savings I had.

      That is the way to go. Any point in time in the past is generally worse than the present. So just go back enough to fix something in our own life’and maybe play the lottery or some stock trading to get set for life.

    I would go back to my teen years just to relive it again. Assuming I could repeat the process when I read this post I would do it over and over again. I wouldn’t change anything, I would just enjoy the ride.

    I probably go back to when I was a kid and my mom kidnapped me and since I look so much like my dad kick in the door and raise myself as my own father.

    Use my knowledge of the future too make myself incredibly rich and give my younger self all of the advantages and opportunities of life.

    Is it one way? If so, I will pass.

    If not, I would take my kid to see some of the big steam engines of the past that we can’t anymore, take a ride on an established safe train/route. (Or maybe buy some old Lego to take home)
