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

    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?”

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    $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

        No no. There are wealth companies out there that you can pay millions to and they will make sure you don’t have to pay any taxes.

        I’d still take the $19 though. Sure money now is better than potential money in the future.

          What if I want to pay taxes, can I just enter 7 billion into the online FreeTax USA website?
