    Typical askreddit post, lol.

    Would you [moderately be inconvenienced for a somewhat long-ish time] for [ridiculous amount of money]?

    Right up there with all the “have you ever sexy sexed the sexything? Would you if a sexyperson was involved?”

      “What’s the sexiest sex you’ve ever sexed”

      right up there with “Women of reddit: do you like [absolutely generic and traditionally handsome trait or article of clothing] on men?”

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

    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.

    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.

      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”.

    $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.

          What if I want to pay taxes, can I just enter 7 billion into the online FreeTax USA website?

    $19 right now. It says “7 billions dollars”, and there’s no real currency called billions dollars.
