    Spoiler - I’m from future, very next week to be exact, and I have some news for Ya.

    Tomorrow, exactly 18 hours from I’m commenting now, Epstein files will leak. Whole murica will collapse within next 2 hours. Dollars as currency will collapse instantly too!

    7 billions dollar will be worthy less than 19 today, if You manage to exchange the currency to any other - get value of $19.

    Actually, unsure, depends if 7 billions gonna be in coins, paper or digital money. That amount of paper could be worth little more than $19 (that paper is not burnable, so still meh), coins, as metal, should be worthy way more.

    Always take the upfront cash! Currency devalues over time so that 7 billion could be worthless by tomorrow. But $19 invested correctly today could be worth a trillion dollars by tomorrow.

    $19 right now, obviously. If I get hit by a bus and die between now and tomorrow, then I’ll have ended up with nothing

    I’m worried about the taxes due on that $7 billion. With tax brackets and that math, I’d probably come out ahead with the $19. This is why I’ve declined every raise I’ve been offered, don’t want to slip into that next tax rate.

    I’ll take the 7 billions dollars tomorrow. Even if it’s some Ugadogobindan dollar where 7 billions of it is worth less than $19, the max I lose is $19, so I’m gonna take that risk.

    $19. I’ve seen enough evil genie movies. It will never be tomorrow, it’s always today. Tomorrow is the promise of today.
