I could probably honestly convince at least one of my parents of the situation, they were both big woo woo sci-fi nerds.

After that, I have a pretty good memory and could take advantage of strategic stock purchases and entering technologies.

This will unfortunately cause a divorce several years early but probably for the best.

Could get in literally at the earliest for bitcoin. And just "yeah apple is going to do...a lot. Get on that"
