Not because I expect it to change the outcome. Time travel doesn't work like that.
No, I would do it because I would need to do it -- because in a sense, I had already done it. I would, in all likelihood, already be aware of having done it, because during the time leading up to my temporal voyage, I would have read the words time-traveling me had already written.
And I would be very glad to do it, whether or not I had a choice in the matter, because I would already know about the Bitcoin I would receive from amused Redditors for having done it.
I might have to return to the dystopian future, but I would return very rich. Probably rich enough to afford adequate security protection and to live out the rest of my days in luxury. It might not be the best outcome for the human race as a whole, but it would be a very good outcome for me.
In backwards it's probably more like winding up a tape; you can rewind all you want but the tape contents won't change.
I don't think it's possible to travel to the past, but I've figured out how to travel 1 hour into the future. It works 100% of the time.

Do you all remember 2005 to 2008 when Google stock went from $42 per share to $200 per share?
Wonder what it's trading at today.
This school of thought thinks that a recession right now is due and some people think that it is already cooking. I think the value of cryptos (BTC, BCH, ETH, etc) will be pushed up when these recessions happen.
The value of Gold went up in 2011 due to several factors. EU instability because of Greece was part of that. There was also some USA instability that caused some further grow in Gold price (I don't recall precisely which came first, US or Greece issues).
Not terribly relevant in this case since I doubt anybody is even remotely fooled, but more interesting in the Jon Titor case, where I think many people were (albeit with a certain amount of willingness). He kept his predictions close to his chest and tried to play off any inaccuracies as issues with "alternate realities", but if that is true and you're not even in your own past anyhow there really wasn't very much reason not to be far more free with the details of the timeline that we may not even be in.
Someone who is reasonable well-informed, but living in the year 1371 is still a whole different level of information than someone who is reasonable well-informed today. Lots of concepts have not been discovered/invented and another whole bunch are lost.
See, if you don't invest your money you simply make everyone elses money more valuable, until someone actually does invest it.
You need to stop looking at money and start looking at resources, time, etc.. Those stay the same, no matter how much money is spent.
"Just like the medieval ages had no significant economic growth, as wealth was measured in gold, our society has no economic growth either, as people know their 0.01 Bitcoin will be enough to last them a lifetime."
You know the Industrial Revolution happened when wealth was measured in gold.
Do I really need more excuses to stop reading this bullshit?
Could change a few things to create a big budget Hollywood script out of it: Terminator x Mad Max x Big Short x In Time. I'd probably watch it too.
Why is my 50 cent investment in a wallet years ago suddenly worth 28 bucks?

"On average, every year so far.." "From now on..."
A person from the future would state dates and times categorically, because to them it is history. Fakes are easy to spot.
The easy explanation is that we're traveling in a 4 dimensional space at the speed of light, and any increase in speed in the 3 spatial dimensions must subtract from your speed in the orthogonal time dimension.
The way you state it, traveler's time would speed up (as the resting frame's time of journey would be decreased).
Now at a tiny level anyone ever on an airplane also will have spent less time than those who never have flown.
To rephrase it, how does one know they are not in "now" but the past? apart from maybe measuring ages of their counterparts etc.
Consider how Americans write dates MMDDYYYY. It's fucking stupid, no matter if 300 million Americans use it. Same deal with this.
Full disclosure since some people are assuming I'm an American imperialist: I am not an American, nor have I ever been to America.
You only call it a decimal point because of your cultural bias.
Second, it's okay to have opinions, but in this case, groups with significantly more clout (ie - the Conference on Weights and Measures) disagree. In the early 2000s, the conference resolved that the symbol for the decimal marker could be either a period or a comma. Both are completely acceptable. The Conference on Weights and Measures also does not approve of the use of thousands separators, so technically, these are both correct:
1 000 000.25 1 000 000,25
But this is always wrong:
1,000,000.25
I am happy python let's us use _ now to separate thousands positions.
How did you think you would come across, if you call someone "insane" and the behaviour of others "fucking stupid"?
