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

    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.

          Nah easy money cause they show you how to turn that $19 into a trillion by tomorrow so for the low fee of $7B and $19 you get to walk away with $993B in profit.

      I see you’ve also read the Facebook comments on similar posts. Another popular one is “$19 right now is a sure thing but I could die in my sleep, I’ll take the $19”.

        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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
