    Blue, because I’ll might come to this again and take the red door on the second time around.

    Red door, I can’t say how much better I would do things if I did them again. But 10 mil can make things much better right now.

    Blue door without question. Even if there was a stipulation that I couldn’t invest in stocks or bitcoin or do anything else that would make me rich.

    I fantasise about going back and doing it all again, not making huge changes, but little ones, living my life with the knowledge and security I have now, so I would be able to enjoy my childhood instead of stressing about the future, I could be kinder to people around me and help them when they were struggling. I could tell the people I loved that I loved them instead of keeping those feeling held back due to insecurity. I could spend more time with my pets when I was “too busy” before. I could start the hobbies and sports I ended up loving as a child, and actually have the chance to be competitive at them.

    The blue door, because money can’t buy me the time back. It’s priceless.

    Also I could just buy BTC at $2 a piece and make the 10 mill as well. So it’s win-win.

    After walking into the blue door the first mistake it corrects is that I should have picked the red door.

    Am I the only one who thinks there haven’t been big 'mistakes" in their life, just, you know, life? I mean, sure, there are things I would do differently given the chance, but not something I would call big mistakes. I would definitely go for the money - I would even pay money not to have to go though my teens again lol

      Yeah… The mistakes are learning experiences. They help us grow. If your mistakes are “I dated a girl who cheated on me” and “I leased an expensive car when I shouldn’t have”… Those things probably helped shape you into a more rational, mature person, assuming you learned from them.

      Now if your mistake is “I worked 80 hour weeks for 30 years for my shitty career and never saw my family and now I’m dying early from stress induced heart attacks” or “I had some shady dealings in the past and now the mafia is after my family”, I’d take the mistake-fixing door. But hopefully most people’s mistakes aren’t quite that bad.

      This is literally a nightmare I once had. I dreamt that I found a time machine and started changing my past little by little, working backwards and fixing minor mistakes, then bigger and bigger ones, but seeing no major impacts on my life. Like fixing a flunked exam only changed the diploma to a “with honors” one and nothing else. But I kept going until a certain event in my life that had really profound impact on my emotional health and made me attempt suicide, but it was also the one that really shaped me into who I am today. After preventing it, bam, Im in a place and a role the current me would’ve never wanted to be in, and the guy I turned into probably didnt want either, it was just so much worse off. After that dream I started to go much more easier on myself. I still cringe from time to time when I remember my past actions, but I dont really regret what happened anymore.

        You should watch thr movie ‘The Butterfly Effect’ its literally that. He initially goes back in time to fix something but then winds up ruining everything.

    Blue door for sure. I can invest early in a ton of stuff that would get me way above 10 mil. And in this economy, not investing was a mistake.

    You are a result of your personal experiences. Going back and changing would make you an entirely different person.

        At least you got some fun out of it. The majority of the BTC I ever owned was on my parents computer that somehow wound up in my aunts hands. She stripped it and sold it all for parts…

      I still remember the first time I read about bitcoin and thought to myself “better check this out”.

      Only I forgot about it until years after that lol
