  • HYPOTHETICAL: Would you want to be a billionaire?

    If you could put your money into a 150 year long term high interest rate account, then go into cold-sleep for 150 years, and you are guaranteed the money would make you a billionare by todays standards, and that the money would still be there(no revolutions, bank collapses etc), but everyone you knew would be dead, would you do it?

    Depends what currency we're talking about...
    Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

      Oh yes. I need a ****ing change. I'd do it more for the ability to witness the future than the sudden influx of money. I'd also resurrect my dead friends with my billions of dollars...

        I answered yes. I assume 150 years from now, I'll be able to afford a time machine and come back in time.

          USD, the euro, the yen or whatever the major world currency is in the future. You'll have the financial equivelency of Bill Gates.

            No. To leave my loved one for the promise of great wealth would be a terrible betrayal.

                Oh come on, Cort Haus. You can always buy new loved ones. Didn't the Beatles write a song about that?

                  But I don't care too much for money
                  Money can't buy me love


                  I shocked that I'm the only one of the first six voters who puts love first. Or maybe I should be grateful ...

                    I honestly can't see myself actually doing this. I couldn't leave the people I loved, but I would certainly want to. Again, not for the money, but for the ability to see the future.

                        This is easily solved, all the people I love would just freeze themselves to.

                        And 150 is not enough time.

                            My opinions are mostly the same. You would basically be throwing away your life which I would never do.

                              And the people they love? And the people they love?
