Always take the upfront cash! Currency devalues over time so that 7 billion could be worthless by tomorrow. But $19 invested correctly today could be worth a trillion dollars by tomorrow.

$19 right now, obviously. If I get hit by a bus and die between now and tomorrow, then I’ll have ended up with nothing

Typical askreddit post, lol.

Would you [moderately be inconvenienced for a somewhat long-ish time] for [ridiculous amount of money]?

Right up there with all the “have you ever sexy sexed the sexything? Would you if a sexyperson was involved?”

$19 right now. It says “7 billions dollars”, and there’s no real currency called billions dollars.

Spoiler - I’m from future, very next week to be exact, and I have some news for Ya.

Tomorrow, exactly 18 hours from I’m commenting now, Epstein files will leak. Whole murica will collapse within next 2 hours. Dollars as currency will collapse instantly too!

7 billions dollar will be worthy less than 19 today, if You manage to exchange the currency to any other - get value of $19.

Actually, unsure, depends if 7 billions gonna be in coins, paper or digital money. That amount of paper could be worth little more than $19 (that paper is not burnable, so still meh), coins, as metal, should be worthy way more.

I’d wait until 23:58 to make my decision and then go for $19 because who knows what can happen in 2 seconds

19, duh, it’s a bigger number than 7.

Nice try J. G. Wentworth

I’m about to go to sleep. I’ll sleep better knowing I have $19, but probably wouldn’t sleep at all knowing $7 billion is showing up tomorrow. I don’t think I’m cut out for the billionaire life, but I’m prepared to try.

Can I borrow against the 7 billion? Ill find someone to lend me 1 million today and ill give them 2 million tomorrow

$19 right now. Then I have it right now. Tomorrow never comes so I wouldn’t get that 7B.

I’m worried about the taxes due on that $7 billion. With tax brackets and that math, I’d probably come out ahead with the $19. This is why I’ve declined every raise I’ve been offered, don’t want to slip into that next tax rate.

Both. First timeline I take the billion, invented time travel and enter the second timeline to go get the $19 too.

$19. I’ve seen enough evil genie movies. It will never be tomorrow, it’s always today. Tomorrow is the promise of today.

I don’t think I’d want to be a billionaire. A hundred million? Yeah. But, any more than that I think fucks too hard with the head. It’s an impossible amount to understand, and the power that comes with it corrupts.

You might say, “then, just give most of it away”, and yeah, that makes sense, but I don’t know how fast it happens. I don’t know if I’d be able to. I think once I realized it was really mine, it might be hard to “just give it away”. I don’t know what that corruption feels like.

And, I’m not sure I want to.

No. I’ll take the $19 and I’ll leave being a billionaire to the people who handle it so well.
