He can travel back in time so I'm going the other direction with this.
I have about six hundred ounces of silver bullion.
So I'd send him back to around 2010 when silver was going for thirty bucks an ounce and Bitcoin was going for a buck a coin.
Cash out silver, buy Bitcoin, bring me the wallet.
This could be done a little more efficiently with a stop on whatever year Bitcoin was over sixty thousand, but even at today's rates, I would instantly have several hundred million dollars. I wouldn't even mind paying the taxes on that.
Why get future information that's going to take time to manifest itself when I can cash instantly?
Edit: Six hundred ounces of silver would physically fit in a backpack, but the weight would likely tear it to shreds. I'd have time for him to make multiple trips so he doesn't destroy his backpack or his spine.
To shreds you say?
How's his wife holding up?
To shreds, you say?
Not sure what you're getting at there, but yes.
I took two hundred ounces on a plane once. Even though that's only about fourteen pounds, it's in such a dense area, that it gave my reasonably sturdy duffle bag a tough time at its seams.
To shreds, you say?
Ooohhhh. Thanks for the clarification
