Buy a Powerball ticket, then invest in tech giants like Apple, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. Then invest in Bitcoin before 2009 rolls around.
Could buy 330 Bitcoin in 2010
If you had all market data from the last 20 years at hand, you might be able to pull this off. I don’t think any single stock increased 100,000,000x its 2001 stock value. This is a big ask.
Unless you could borrow 40k to get into the market leveraged. Then its more doable. And probably as you saw success you could borrow increasing amounts.
But no single tip like buy tesla or bitcoin will do it.
If you know you’re going back 100%. The day before google the highest lottery payouts. Major sporting event scores etc write them down. Use your hundred bucks to travel to your childhood home and have a really weird conversation with your parents. I probably wouldn’t tell them you’re related we’ve already messed with the timeline and now your youngest sibling probably doesn’t exist now but who knows. Tell them the plan and tell them to invest everything they have into Amazon Tesla stock etc Bitcoin etc and you’re good 👍oh and to guard the notes don’t need a back to the future situation 😅
He needs to figure out which stock was available in 2001 that is now worth alot.
It helps if it was a penny stock and they could buy 10,000 shares.
You can look up lottery results, and what numbers won, then play those numbers!
id guess if you started to rake in hundreds of millions of dollars in the stock market, some people in black suits would probably show up at your front door and have some questions for you.
Id buy a lottery ticket that first day for $1 and take the cash buy out, then use that money to day trade, bet on sports, short airline stock, hire a patent attorney and created patents for things like an iphone, hire developers to create things like social media sites, go find Jeff Bezos and provide him with capital for a portion of amazon, buy long in google and know when to sell it.
once you hit $100m you would probably be able to hide your knowledge of the future with a team of lawyers, investors, marketing people and engineers.
if you weren’t the first trillionaire by today, you weren’t doing it right.
EDIT
it just occurred to me, you could only win the powerball once as the sole winner. or as many times as you wanted if you split the prize with someone who won randomly.
Lotteries are honeypots for time travelers.
Buy Bitcoin when it nearly worthless and hold it until it’s in the $50,000 range.
Does history repeat itself exactly? If not, everyone is 10000% wrong
The PowerBall lottery starts at a minimum $20MM after each win and there are two draws per week. So $20MM x 104 wins equals $2,080,000,000. Boom, you’re done in a year and there’s the added benefit of killing the lottery once and for all. Do the same for MegaMillions and double your haul.
Nobody talking about making multiple moves over time. I like the idea of investing in Bitcoin at a low and selling at the peaks.
Who were the biggest stock winners of the 2000s? Trade call options during that time. Short the whole market, or some of the major losers in 2008. Buy Bitcoin in 2010, although I’m guessing you’d still be better off buying and trading options on big tech through the 2010s. Short the market for COVID. Buy again that summer.
I’m willing to bet you could easily be richest person alive this way.
1. Buy winning lottery tickets
2. Wait a few years
3. Buy bitcoin with the lottery winnings
I love all of the comments in here telling OP to buy into a Ponzi scheme. Not wrong, but hilarious.
Assuming the person going back in time was smart enough to pay attention to winning lottery numbers and the stock market you could make a lot more than a billion.
1. Take first $100 and win the lottery. On [December 29th 2001 there was a jackpot for $33.5M](https://www.lotto.net/powerball/numbers/2001)
2. Take that 16.75M (half went to taxes) and invest all of it
3. At the end of 2010 the price of bitcoin was $0.30. You have more money than there are bitcoins. So lets say you buy 10% of bitcoins in existence which is roughly 2 million bitcoins. (Buying more might have too big an effect on the trajectory of bitcoin). This would cost you only 600k at the time.
4. Take your remaining 16.15M and buy shares in tesla which in December of 2010 accounting for share splits was $1.78 per share. You could buy 9,073,033 shares.
5. Now, as of today your 600k bitcoins and 9,073,033 shares of tesla are worth a measly 87 billion
Maybe everyone on here is too young. You buy a sports Almanac and take it with you and give it to your younger self. Biff did this trick already.
Create a religion, call it The Church Of Future Self and guide people like a prophet. Easy money
Step one: Invest in the company that provides weapons to the US military.
Step two: Make sure nothing stops the Sept 11 attacks.
Step three: Profit.
I’d go back to 1987, personally.
I’d do Bre-X and sell at peak. I’d buy Apple mid 90s at their low, and sell after the iPhone hits. I’d buy Microsoft before Windows is launched. I’d buy Google as early as possible. If you go back in time with this kind of knowledge, and lots of it, you could do it. You’d need a big chart to keep it all straight, though.
If you only had $100, you would starve to death before you could cash in any investment, no matter how much insider information you had.
Put $100 on the twin towers going down
Stocks, the answer is always stocks
First thing to do would be to take James Randi’s million-dollar challenge, and accurately predict a certain upcoming terrorist attack… then it’s holding a stock portfolio with a lot of oil & gas, energy, and post-bubble dot coms like Amazon until 2008, gold and silver bullion during the housing crisis, and from 2010 on it’s all crypto.
Sell what you know. Making other people rich is a great way to get and stay rich.
Go back with a record of all the major boxing matches and bet big on every one of them.
Buy Bitcoin when it launched, then convert your BTC into ETH at the ETH ICO (2015) and hold ETH till end of 2017 (then sell all for USDT).
Then go all in into Solana when it launches in 2020 (or do an otc deal for the size you need), and hold till mid 2021.
And with that my friend you’ve done couple (3) 1000x returns so you’re easily into multi billions
I’m going to memorise a lot of historical trivia, in particular about natural disasters, then start a cult,
I will claim that I am a prophet of God, predicting natural disasters, acts of God as some might call them, years in advance,
Then I will claim that the world will end in 2024, and then the rapture will happen, and that the only way to get into heaven will be to be one of my apostles (which just so happens to involve signing over everything you own to ~~me~~ the church,
Y’all are talking about investing in stocks and whatnot like your interference wouldn’t affect the values of those stocks and cause unpredictable volatility in the marker, I’ll stick to just good old fashioned deception thank you very much.
Not today, timecop.
Buy 2,500 shares in MNST (monster beverage) for $0.03 a share in 2001, saving $25 for trading fees. Then sell those in 2010 for $4.00 a share and you have $10,000. 15% of that goes to long term capital gains taxes, so you net $8,500
Buy 85,000 Bitcoin in 2010 (under 3% of the world’s supply of 3 million bitcoin in summer 2010) for $0.10 a coin and sell in 2021 for $50,000 a coin, and you have $4.25 billion, or $3.4 billion after taxes (20% this time instead of 15% because of your new tax bracket).
By restricting it to two trades, you avoid too much scrutiny from the SEC. You appear to have gotten lucky on a penny stock, and then you made stupid money through crypto, and those two things aren’t all that unusual.
It probably says something about our society that making the first $10K takes almost as much time as the next $1 billion.
Buy puts well below market price for bear Stearns or Lehman Bros before the 08/09 collapse, if far enough out of the money you’ll be able to get loads, then buy out of money calls on stocks that bottomed like BOA, Ford, Microsoft, etc and then rebounded after the dip. Once done with that you’ll probably have too much to make plays without effecting market moves, so pump it all into early BTC mining rigs.
Bitcoin bought at launch, $100 would now be a bit over 4.5 billion
buy 330 BTC 2010
Sell 330 BTC on January 8th 2021 for 13,851,090 dollar.

The Patriots are gonna have extremely long on odds to win the Superbowl if you bet on them before the season, but that $100 can make you some good cash your first year.
Patent your time machine
Buy a bow and some arrows, prevent 9/11, make a movie about it. Boom.
If you knew the opening and closing price of every stock you could day trade and get rich as fuck quickly.
