Hypothesis

So if i have a time machine, and want to go back in time to give myself a million dollars, when i go back to 1980 and give myself a million dollars, the million dollars would have to be printed in my time, maybe circa, 2018 so wtf am i going to do in 1980 with a million dollars that i can't use for 38 years, or am i supposed to go back to 1980 rob a bank there and then give myself the million dollars?

How could i do that, just because i have a time machine doesn't mean i'm any good at robbing banks in 1980 than i am in 2018, or i could go back to 1980 give myself the time machine but then my 2018 self would be without a time machine, and what is the 1980 version of myself gonna do with the time machine?

Go back to 1970 and give my 7 year old self a time machine, i'm not stewie from family guy i doubt my 7 year old self would know what to do with a time machine.
(screw it i'm going to an acid test in 1966)

Instead of cash, give your past self stock market and sports betting advice.

But if you had all that money, would you still feel like using the time machine?

Instead of going backwards, I'd go forward. Find the cure for cancer, or the "cure" for aging, then go backwards and give it to young-me along with the blueprints for the time machine. Then I'd return to my time and make the pattent for the cure.

As much as I'd lpve it to be, Veganism is the answer to many problems, but not for cancer. It could prevent or postpone some things, but it's not a cure. Anyhow, you could find another pattent. That's not the problem.

what you do is buy a million in gold or diamonds โ€ฆ then go back in time and give yourself the assets โ€ฆ. sell the assets then and put 50 percent into shares of what you know will be a successful company.

Wait, why wouldn't the money that you gave yourself be good? It would still be valid money, even if it wasn't printed yet. I mean, it wouldn't, but no one is going to check the bill's serial number or anything if you spend it.

Btw, why a million dollars? Do you expect that amount of money to make you happy?

D'ya think you could outbid cbs for the old help, or would that mess up the timespace chronology overmuch?
