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

Easy. Bitcoin.

Yeah, get into Bitcoin at the peak investment age of ten.

Edit: JFC y'all, I'm middle-aged.

Have you tried being older? Bitcoin would be a 21+ problem for me!

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I'm already older, I was talking to that guy

If your family had a PC at that time absolutely. Just wait for the first inklings and start mining. It was way easier at the start. You'd be able to get several thousands pretty easy. Maybe you get some visa gift cards as a kid for Christmas, dump em in there. Or even just go to any store and use your allowance to buy one. Then sell at the peak. EZPZ

Yeah, you can do that. Bitcoin is anonymous and you could earn it relatively easy when it first came out. If you want to get real fucked up with it you could make even more by appealing to those early black markets and use your age as a cover, but that's risk.

You generally need a credit card to do that.

At the start all you needed was access to any computer. Mine for an hour and come out with some bitcoin

[–] psud@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

At ten you might have a computer that can mine a couple of hundred bit coin

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Were there any DOS programs for mining Bitcoin a couple decades before Bitcoin even existed?

[–] psud@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

You were the one positing the idea of Bitcoin at age 10. A 10 year old in 2010 would likely have a suitable computer
