Future-me hate present-me, so if he said NOT to take, there would be a very good reason. So, no, i will not take the money.

Yes only because in my mind I will need the money to build the time machine I used. I technically am obeying my future self because I'm not using the money for me and I'm not causing a paradox, or anything of the sort. Also I know I'm not dumb enough to try to go back in time and change the past so clearly Future Me was trying to tell me a message that onlookers couldn?t understand but I could.

I'd either do 4 things.

1. But the money in the bank and let it gain interest for my future self then that way when I get money in the future I would go back in time and make myself win the money when I'm younger and warn myself so I would put it the bank and continue the cycle.

2. Tell myself to fuck off and spend all the money on whores and biscuits.

3. Follow myself into the future and how I'm living(hopefully large).

4.Burn the money Joker style.

future me would propably try to steal my money instead of trying to change my life. greedy bastard.

He propably used all his lottery money just to build this time machine so he could steal it

I tend to think of and plan for these hypothetical scenarios a lot so I have a system of passcodes in place for my future self to use when approaching me so that I'll know he's legit. If he got that right I guess I'd trust him enough to not take the money, after all there's more to life than money.

i would probably listen to the future me, i mean if it's so important that he had to travel back in time to warn me about it, then it has to be vital, right?

I'd take the money. Dammit, it's my dream to win that kind of money, I wouldn't let it slip through my fingers. But I would be careful. I wouldn't have a very noticable lifestyle which could make people jealous, I'd just say "yeah, I'm unemployed, but I fool around with stocks and make enough money from that to keep my head just above water".

It MIGHT work. Dammit, my money!

Well considering that when the portal opened and future me showed up... how would I know its me? Well let's say I do. Future me should have known better than to just say don't take the money it will ruin your life. I NEED MORE THAT THAT DUMB FUTURE SELF!!!>_< Considering that I can't take the money... I wont take it.. but I'll have my bro take it and than give me some. TAKE THAT TIME SPACE CONTINUUM. Plus it was that time line that messed up who knows maybe in my timeline everything is fine. As long as i don't physically touch the money we will be fine.

but i guess if it came to 1 simple choice i just woudln't take the money

I wouldn't becuase my future self knows more about what I would do with it then I would. The only downside is if you choose not to, that future doesn't exist, meaning future me never came back in time to stop me from taking it, meaning I get no warning, so I probably would, meaning he would come back in time to stop me from doing it, etc.

It basically a paradox a.k.a. black hole from the universe never being able to figure out what future to lead to becuase of me.

No, I'm not over analyzing. That's what I belive would happen

It really doesn't matter if you take the money or not because if your future self was able to come back and talk to you that means that not matter what actions you were to take from that moment on it would eventually lead you to going back in time to warn you past self, either way your future will have the same result. That is just how the time continuum works.

OT: No, I trust myself.

The Time Travel in itself causes a paradox. For this I will use Bob A and Bob B. Bob A is from the past; Bob B from the future.

So Bob A gets the money, and then life pans out into a catastrophe and he becomes Bob B. Then, somehow, he travels back in time to meet Bob A and tells him not to get the money. But the money is the cause of Bob B's existence; if the money isn't taken, then this can never happen and there is Paradox.

But it gets worse. You see, Bob B is changing his own history. If Bob B, before time travelling, realised that in his history Bob B had come to stop him, and failed, then why would he try the same thing? Bob B wouldn't go back in time, but then therefore it would get rid of his reasons for not doing so.

Ultimately, I'd have to shoot my future self before he had a chance to explain about anything else. Then, that simply forms a stable time loop, and in the future I would go back in time because I knew I had to die.

Thanks.

Yep... And if I screw it up again, ill just travel back in time and steal the money I won back then.

[Edit: And I would not mind the time-paradox, as I dont believe in such thing. I believe in the multivese-therory, meaning there is a universe for everything there could happen... anywhere.
So if future me, dident get the warning... (which he/I dident, because then I would have told myself that... I know myself enought to know I would do that)... Would mean he/I entered an alternative timeline (another universe), and therefore returning to his/my own time, with no alterations. No time-loop, as I never did anything to my own timeline, but the alternative me.
