Would you travel back in time 20 years for a trillion dollars?

[Nakura Chambers]

Provided you obtained the money upon arriving in 1994 and that you wouldn't age until 2014?

[Ave07]

Sure why not? I loved the 90's!

[Karaoke]

Provided you obtained the money upon arriving in 1994 and that you wouldn't age until 2014?

No down-side (don't age) and a huge up-side (shit ton of money), why the hell would you not?

[Korgoth]

It's the 1990s not the 1890s, FUCK YEAH I WOULD!

[HAcoreRD]

how would I obtain this if the deal didn't exist for another 20 years?

still, there's enough for me to take advantage of. Powerball #s, Superbowl scores, Stock Market..... screw it, he can keep his trillions.

[Charge me Doctor]

How it would not ruin economy of 1990s world?

[strangerdanger]

I don't see how you would obtain this money after going BACK in time...

but sure, I would go back in time 20 years for a trillion dollars. I'm sure there are lots of people that would PAY lots of money to go back in time.

[Soeroah]

Would I be four years old, or maintain my current age?

Because, if I retained my current memories in my four year old body...Well, a trillion is more than enough to not only survive off without ever having to work, but also to be able to help and provide for a lot of people I care about, and a chance to make a difference.

Of course, the time travel fanatic inside me knows the world could be much worse if I did what I would want to do with a trillion dollars than it is right now...but I suppose all I could do is try *shrug*.

[Dispraise]

All of those things would require the universe be deterministic.

[Kellhound]

Hell, I would do it for free.

[v2prwsmb45yhuq3wj23vpjk]

I'm not really sure. On the one hand, I could live however the fuck I wanted to, but on the other hand, that's 20 years I'd lose in terms of seeing how things turn out. My main motivation for living is seeing what kind of stuff humans come up with. I find it fascinating.

Maybe it'd be worth it because I could fuel progress and speed things along to make up for going back 20 years.

[Deleted]

uh fuck ya i would

[Deleted]

That's a lot of money, think a majority would do it.

[Charge me Doctor]

I don't know much about economics, but wouldn't it only ruin it if you spent copious amounts of money or that $20tril was obtained by removing it from other sources? If you just had magic money that spontaneously came into existence, nobody knew about it, and you only spent a little (relatively speaking, a few million), would it actually be a big

Well, if these 20 trillions was taken from other sources (for example, country budget), this amount of money out of system would ruin everything.
If money are still in the system, but you own these money (like on an account in bank) these 20 trillions still was taken from somewhere, but at least, bank can operate with them instead of them being lying in huge pile at your home.
If money was magically created, they would be recognised as fake money and you would spend these 20 years in jail.

No i wouldn't, Russia back in 1990s was shit, never want to experience it. Back then, even if you had money, you couldn't buy anything because there was almost nothing to buy, lol.

[Hooked]

I would return for free.

[Buxton McGraff]

I would, but only if I would be my current age.

I was born 20 years ago. August 20th, 1993.

[Kurioxan]

There are NO drawbacks at all in this hypothesis, its just win-win-win....
What kind of expectation did you have with this thread? >_>

Even if it was to be thrown to the middle ages or classic era i would do it, regardless of financial benefit if "you wouldnt age until..."

[Arkenaw]

Literally no reason not too, why is this even a question?

[Zoaric]

I literally see no downside to this. You get rich, you get an extra 20 years of life, you
get to be way better than other people at the 'new' video games immediately, what's
not to like again?

It would likely be good for the economy if anything else, as it wouldnt be linked to bonds.
Magic money out of no where without attachments being spent to develop and grow? cant see the negative impact, inflation only exists due to how the system works, as it is all borrowed money to be able to pay for older loans and its interests, which then forces the creation of new currency out of thin air at yet another interest rates that have to be payed back (which is not really possible) :P
