How would you become wealthy if you could go back in time? - Blora - Jan 27, 2024
What strategies or decisions would you alter in your past to attain wealth if given the opportunity to go back in time?

I would short the shit out of enron, I would buy into Microsoft, ASML, Facebook, Amazon, and more at early stages. I would buy certain crypto at the earliest possible point.
Now, if I really wanted to make the most amount of money possible, I guess I would go back in time before a major invention and create that w/ US patents.

When I was 14 I gave myself two choices. Go buy a brand new electric guitar and learn an instrument, or buy 2 full bitcoins. (Bitcoin was around $200-250 then) In all honestly, of course I couldn't see the future so I probably would've ended up blowing those 2BTC on e-books and various shit here. I know guitar now lol. If I could go back, I would probably tell my younger self to buy the bitcoin and put it in a password protected USB wallet and keep it in my sock drawer. If I had that BTC at it's highest peak, I could've turned $400 into well over $120k.
Then I'd tell my younger self to geek out and buy a great PC setup and that guitar, and put the rest into a high-yield savings. Then I would explain job opportunities I was later given in the future and tell myself to stick with them to learn more, and later use that BTC earnings to create my own start-up repair business. I'd be doing very solid now, if only I could give my younger self some advice lol.

I like that you mentioned you may have spent them already.
This is a huge piece of the whole "I wish I bought BTC at $x" thought - many people who DID buy at $x ended up selling at $y instead of $z. It's one thing to know to buy it early, and another to keep holding it - especially on the crash down from 20k.
