Rules:

  1. The time traveller is able to travel backward and forward through time (max forward is 2074) and they can only transport things that can fit in a small backpack.

  2. You can choose when the 3 hours begin but it has to be in 2024 and once it has begun the timer can’t be reset or stopped.

  3. They will answer to the best of their ability but imagine this is a random person from 2074.

    He can travel back in time so I’m going the other direction with this.

    I have about six hundred ounces of silver bullion.

    So I’d send him back to around 2010 when silver was going for thirty bucks an ounce and Bitcoin was going for a buck a coin.

    Cash out silver, buy Bitcoin, bring me the wallet.

    This could be done a little more efficiently with a stop on whatever year Bitcoin was over sixty thousand, but even at today’s rates, I would instantly have several hundred million dollars. I wouldn’t even mind paying the taxes on that.

    Why get future information that’s going to take time to manifest itself when I can cash instantly?

    Edit: Six hundred ounces of silver would physically fit in a backpack, but the weight would likely tear it to shreds. I’d have time for him to make multiple trips so he doesn’t destroy his backpack or his spine.
