Obviously this is a fantasy thread. I'm not suggesting this will happen.

Help people with problems. Not blatantly spoiling them with money but rather by coaching and assisting so they learn to manage their own.

Ask the stranger he knows who you really are.

I've always thought it would feel reeeeeeealy good to stock up on a pile of $100bills, then walk through a city handing one out to each homeless person you see. I realise that this won't help them as much as giving to a homeless shelter, but it will make me feel better!

Continue to work, as I do now...
I own my own business and it's as close to guaranteed income as one can get. There is no guarantee I will ever get all of my money out of Bitcoin if I wanted to. Besides, Bitcoin is just a nice bonus to my retirement account as long as it doesn't die.

Even if I don't need to work, then I will continue with what I was doing.

Perhaps starting a new business as extra, or buying myself into a few tech startups.

My life won't be much different at this point. What's important for me is that when I retire I have plenty of funds to live from. That's my goal.

same. you also highlighted potentially the biggest obstacle... "There is no guarantee I will ever get all of my money out of Bitcoin"

there are countless potential problems with a bitcoin moon scenario. i don't think its as easy as retiring to a yacht without a care in the world.

call me misguided but I have this vision of moon-bitcoin days in the future when I just have a bitcoin debit card that I live off... or bitcoin is a sufficiently recognised medium of exchange I can just pay for things straight with it, and so on.

sgbett care to share some of the possible problems with a massive increase in btc value?



to be honest I have no idea what I would do apart from live life as normal and just be a bit more relaxed about the future.

I just read that Australians have developed this cure for Alzheimer's with ultrasound that worked on 75% of lab rats. They're planning to do further experiments on bunnies or something, and possibly human clinical trials in 2017.

IF bitcoin takes off then, and I have accumulated a good amount of it such that I will have a significant net worth, and IF this cure seems promising then, I'm willing to spend all of it to have my grandfather cured, if he is still curable at that time.  Cry

If not, especially if bitcoin takes off soon after, and my grandfather misses this cure by a short amount of time, I bet I'd feel guilty for the rest of my life. That said, if that happens, or if bitcoin takes off much later, or if it doesn't cost that much, I'd spend the rest of the money buying some property around the world and become a perpetual traveler, while trying out the top restaurants in the world one by one.

Other than that, I agree with a guy above, I'd like to do some investments/donations to human life extension and other tech research. I strongly believe that donations to create technological abundance is more useful than donations to charity that gives food and clothes to homeless people, for example. It's like giving a man a fish vs teaching a man to fish.

Depends on the frame of reference. To you, nothing. To other people, nothing. To me, everything.

To be clear I wasn't referring to your grandfather. Instead finding the posts describing using the money for advancing science to be noble.
