Would go back no further than last year with the lottery numbers.
Got a niece born last year and have to think of the butterfly effect.
This. I'm surprised no one mentioned how them changing anything in the past would literally change up their own timeline for better and or worst.

Probably go back to 95 2 years before Amazon goes public. I would work my ass off and buy as much of the IPO as possible.

Y play the lotto n pay taxes for the lump sum

When Uganda don’t even know it’s gold .. trillions of it undisturbed
And you'll know exactly what to do with all of it right? With all that prior experience dealing with gold?

Brehs probably think they can just easily move gold on eBay and eat :heh:

Go back to the early 90s.

Open:

An online auction house
An online bookstore
An online electronic and random item store
A search engine to mine data off people to be sold to advertisers

If using bitcoin to become a billionaire, one would purchase $12 worth of coins in October of 2009. Then sell them in 2021 for $67K each.

I'd recommend purchasing at least $500 worth initially, buying as funds allow through the end 2011, and then selling just enough each year to live off of until 2021.

Easy way - buy/mine as much crypto as possible, and then slowly sell off until the peak in 2020. Probably could not make 1 trillion, as it was only 2 trill at the peak, but tens if not hundreds of billions done properly.

Crypto is 1% of the securities market.
And I think the derivatives market (options) is 100x bigger than the stock market. 1 Quadrillion with a Q.

Hard Way - So the real play is making big money in derivatives in the years leading up to 1) dot com boom and bust, 2) World Financial Crisis.

That type of money has to be made all throughout, never at the peak, cause most of any financial crisis is hoes (my own bank and counter-parties) not having the money that they owe me.

Carve off tens of trillions per year, distributed among tens of thousands of entities. And those entities would have employees, middle and senior management - in order to make real moves. The building of an industrial base among the people of the diaspora.

No reason Kingston, Atlanta, Detroit, Lagos, Dakar, Kinshasa etc can't look like Shenzhen.

They got Apple, we got Mango.
