    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

        No no. There are wealth companies out there that you can pay millions to and they will make sure you don’t have to pay any taxes.

        I’d still take the $19 though. Sure money now is better than potential money in the future.

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