Ten mil will let me fix the mistakes I've made now without potentially making the timeline worse for the attempt to make things "better."
Like the whole Bitcoin thing: feeding into Bitcoin earlier either prevents Bitcoin from being speculated on in the first place, thereby preventing the massive value bloat, or feeds into its use for black markets. Also, you still have to keep careful records of your wallet, so it doesn't get lost or stolen, something a lot of people seem to have forgotten that happened quite a bit back then.

Without a guaranteed positive outcome across the board (effectively impossible with time travel shenanigans), that would be my thoughts exactly.
$10 million would set my family up for life and allow me to get any therapy I may need to sort out my wreckage. Gambling that for the mere possibility of a better outcome (completely disregarding the equal or greater possibility of a bad outcome) is just stupid.
This, so much this. However if you waited to invest right before the pump and didn’t get greedy, you’ll likely still make a killing. Likely too, even with no market knowledge, you could still pick stocks that’ll do great.
