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

Typical askreddit post, lol.

Would you [moderately be inconvenienced for a somewhat long-ish time] for [ridiculous amount of money]?

Right up there with all the “have you ever sexy sexed the sexything? Would you if a sexyperson was involved?”

$19 right now. It says "7 billions dollars", and there's no real currency called billions dollars.

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.

19, duh, it's a bigger number than 7.

I’d wait until 23:58 to make my decision and then go for $19 because who knows what can happen in 2 seconds

Nice try J. G. Wentworth

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.

Can I borrow against the 7 billion? Ill find someone to lend me 1 million today and ill give them 2 million tomorrow

Both. First timeline I take the billion, invented time travel and enter the second timeline to go get the $19 too.

I'm about to go to sleep. I'll sleep better knowing I have $19, but probably wouldn't sleep at all knowing $7 billion is showing up tomorrow. I don't think I'm cut out for the billionaire life, but I'm prepared to try.

19 dollar fortnite card, who wants it?

$19 right now. Then I have it right now. Tomorrow never comes so I wouldn't get that 7B.

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'm getting $7,000,000,019. How? Well I take the $19 right now for starters. Then I spend the next 24 hours trying to think of a plan to secure the 7B as well.

I take the $19, because I don't feel like becoming unethical.

Income or debt?

Can I have 3.5 billion dollars when I go to bed tonight?

... or $1 for grammar lessons.

I don't think I'd want to be a billionaire. A hundred million? Yeah. But, any more than that I think fucks too hard with the head. It's an impossible amount to understand, and the power that comes with it corrupts.

You might say, "then, just give most of it away", and yeah, that makes sense, but I don't know how fast it happens. I don't know if I'd be able to. I think once I realized it was really mine, it might be hard to "just give it away". I don't know what that corruption feels like.

And, I'm not sure I want to.

No. I'll take the $19 and I'll leave being a billionaire to the people who handle it so well.

Always take the lump sum!

20.bucks is 20 bucks

I dunno, I could really go for a pizza right now...

I can wait til tomorrow. 🤷‍♂️

A bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush. Boom now I have 14 billion dollars

delayed gratification is only unlocked when you have over 250 iq (which I have) so I pick

Sounds like a promise a drug addict would make

Tick. tick, tick people. Let's go, now! There may not be another tomorrow. /s

The horse's name was friday

7B in funds managed by Situationally Unaware

That's no choice at all.

Clearly $19. I won't be the same person tomorrow so I would never really receive the 7 billion

$19 because fuck capitalism. Seriously, billions of dollars means that you are hogging billions that could be spent on feeding the poor. I say this as a person who just stopped living in a homeless shelter less than a month ago.
