    If I get back to 2005 I can easily get more than 10 millions by the time it’s 2024 again. Plus all the other perks of restarting your life

    I’d take the $10 mil. Childhood seems like it would be a lot less fun if I had to go through it again but now with the jaded mind of a middle aged man.

    I can for sure find a way to have fun with ten million dollars though 😉

      Yeah my childhood sucked, and knowing I’d have another 12 years of abuse with nobody taking me seriously because I’m a kid? No thanks. I could put $10mil to good use right now.

    Blue pill: I would die of boredom if I had to go back to school for more than a couple of days.

    If I choose red, I wouldn’t be able to guarantee my daughter would be born even if I met my wife because of, well, biology, but if choose the blue pill I can make sure she’ll have a huge head start on life from this point out, so blue pill it is.

      Exactly! In the past, I would have chosen the red pill to change decisions that I made in the past. But today there are some things in my life that are not directly the result of conscious decisions, but that I would not want to miss.

      Yeah same. I would love to avoid so much pain and suffering I went through, so much wasted time and bad decisions, but I would not risk it if I didn’t end up with my spouse and child. So, blue pill all the way. Also, 10 mil would actually solve 95% of all our problems to be honest.

    Blue pill all day. I’d never give up my daughter and we could spend the rest of our lives vacationing.

    por qué no los dos? Punch him in the mouth and do whatever you want.:-P

    Or just stare deeply into his eyes until he blinks, then turn around and leave the room. You’re F-ing Neo, you don’t need to play these kids games - if there’s something you want, you just materialize it, easy.

    Ofc… if this were a more irl scenario, I don’t think I’d be taking pills from some random dude offering me to either “get rich quick” or turn me into a 6-yr-old, pudding or no. Maybe this is how he gets rich, by selling my organs or some such.:-P

      Red pill all the way. Personal experience gains to be had. Also of course there is the prospect of crypto billionairedom.

        Depending on your starting point there’s a lot better opportunities out there that are less vulnerable to losing it all to a random hacker.

          Actually bitcoin on a physical harddrive purchased at $50 or below stored in a safety deposit box is pretty ironclad.

          I’m not saying I won’t be buying real estate in San Francisco, Magic The Gathering cards, and shares in big tech, but a solid backbone of 1000x value bitcoin is hard to beat on multiples.

          Since we get all the information we have now: the correct answer was Bitcoin Armory. You’d have a dedicated computer just for signing transactions, carried back and forth over flash drives.

        Red pill effectively kills your current spouse and kids if you have any. Also trying to re-engineer the relationship with your original spouse all over again seems like it’d be really creepy. If you go back, you effectively need to find someone else. Couldn’t do that.

    There’s nearly 0% odds I end up with the same wife and kids twice and I hit the jackpot the first time around. Give me the money.

    I’d grab both pills and quickly swallow them just to see what would happen. I might end up a 12yo with $5million. I’d be so obnoxious
