(15,001 posts)If so, I'll buy $1,000 of bitcoin at 0.05 in 2009, and sell it in November 2021.
But, if my going back creates a new timeline, and events unfold differently, I'll pass.
...and fame is more of a pain in the ass than it's worth.

(40,431 posts)For me to be where I am now, everything that happened in the past 15 years would have to repeat itself exactly. So there'd be no point in me going back.

(27,296 posts)terrible years for me minus President Obama's election.
I don't think I'd want to be famous, well known creativity yes, but not really famous.
So I may have to take a pass on both.

(24,726 posts)... if I went back fifteen years, I'd be working. No thanks, retirement suits me just fine.

(50,050 posts)Now, the fifteen years thing.
Is it go back in time 15 years? Because then, no.
Is it become instantly 15 years younger today and time continues to flow normally and I age normally going forward? Because then, hell yes.
