Realistically I'm sure I'd end up using it for financial gain either way.

Future Self: What's the next Nvidia stock?

Past self has more monkey paw possibilities, but I think I'd go with something like, "Buy all the surplus compute you can to generate bitcoin in 2009 and hold it until $64,000."

That's too much work. Just buy $1000 worth of bitcoin in 2010 and sell it all at 50k, which means you can cash it in 2 years earlier and still make WAY more than you'll ever be able to spend.

At that point you will be affecting the entire market though. So things might become unpredictable.

Dogecoin would be funnier. Buy 1K USD when it’s like 0.000001 and sell when it’s at .20USD
