Topic: Why hasn't Bitcoin's meteoric price rise spurred research in time travel? (Read 302 times)

Nobody wants to pay for someone to research time travel, simply because it's just a waste of time. Otherwise, you must do your own research and find out for yourself how far you could go back in time instead.

The power that accompanies mastering time travel would make any financial benefit a secondary concern.

Who has the link for that time machine? is that for real? 
Well, we have to move on although we can think of time travelling back to the early years of bitcoin and buying it during cents or 1 digit or 2 digits of price. In the near future, people will also think of going back to the time when bitcoin was priced @ $9,300.

The price of a single bitcoin skyrocketed in the last decade. You would think that this would provide a huge incentive for scientists to do research on time travel. Even if you were to argue that scientists, generally speaking, tend to be motivated by reasons other than money, often times their research is funded by those who do expect to see a return on their investment.
Time travel takes way more energy than mining Bitcoin.
Theoretically speaking, unless there's a more cheaper alternative source of energy (compared to the current costs of energy today), I would have to agree.

Honestly, if there were any such research and proof towards time travel, I wouldn't dare share that information with anyone else if it were a complete success.

The exact same question can be asked in relation to all important events in the history of mankind. A lot more things happened in history for which someone might want to return to the past. Rising prices for BTC is just zilch compared to them.

I remember there was a guy called Ronald Mallett who did some experiments with ring lasers about 10 years ago (and whose own motivations for pursuing said research are also equally fascinating) but he hasn't found much success and his theories drew criticism from the scientific community. Other than that, there hasn't been much going on in this field.
If you want to get into the more fringe side of things then a few years ago, someone set up a website selling a time machine called the Hyperdimensional Resonator. But it hasn't found much success either and reviews suggest that it might only work for astral time travel rather than physical time travel, or that it might even be a scam.
The first person who manages to build a working time machine could go back in time to 2009, put a few dollars in Bitcoin (or alternatively, mine it using a standard desktop PC) and emerge a multi-millionaire in just a few short years. Solving a Millennium Prize problem or being the sole winner of a Nobel Prize only gets you a million bucks. And even with time travel, things like lotteries and sports bets are vulnerable to the butterfly effect. Compared to these, investing in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies seems like an almost foolproof plan in retrospect.
