You have a magic dollar that allows you to do one dollar's worth of anything. What are you doing with it? (lemmy.world)

The dollar can be used once a day. It has to be a dollar's worth of a product, service or use of a product. For example, A dollar's worth of a $100 TV would be the life of the TV divided by 100. You would get to enjoy the TV for that amount of time. The product or service is instant and doesn't require any preparation. It just appears and disappears. Or you could have a TV permanently that is worth one dollar.

I buy one dollar worth of Bitcoin... according to the value moments after Bicoin's invention.

Its a magic dollar aint it? So the magic is that I get to choose the time period of its exchange value.

using 'the pizza' as the exchange rate, 243.9 coins to the dollar. iirc, it was a $41 pizza order for 10,000 coins. save up for the 41 days then use the 'magic' to buy that guy's pizza.

at today's exchange rate, 10k coins is nearly $968m. accounting for exchange fees and taxes (capital gains, since you bought them years ago), lets call it an even $750m.

now if the 'magic' lets you repeat that process every 41 days........

If you choose, you can time travel to the 'distance' in time worth one dollar, however much that may be. There is also no rule against saving.

So I can travel back in time 8.27 minutes? Because that's what a dollar is worth according to the US Federal Minimum wage.

Cool, I guess I can save up a year worth of magic dollars then I can go back in time 50 hours.

Choose any stock or crypto that went up by a lot in the last 8min, travel back, buy all your moneys worth and sell 8min later. Repeat every day

Not bad for a passive income.

'buy' a dollar of someone's time, kill 'em, then automatically teleport out and back to safety and alibis.
