Here's a question that cuts straight to how you think about wealth: would you grab a million bucks right now, or take a grand every single week for the rest of your life? One's instant gratification, pure and simple. The other? That's betting on time, on consistency, on the compounding magic of steady cash flow. What's your play—and more importantly, what does it say about your risk appetite?

I want one million in cash directly, no nonsense. The money in my hand is the real deal; I don't trust promises.

I choose weekly salary. If I get a million now, it will be eaten up by taxes and various investment pitfalls. Weekly salary is the true prototype of passive income.

To be honest, this question is a bit misleading... $100 a week? I would directly choose $1,000,000 and go all in on a promising project. With compound interest, it would definitely surpass your steady cash flow.

One million cash in hand? Sorry, I want the weekly one. Compound interest is the key, after all. Time is money.

I would definitely take a million dollars. Once I have it, I'll go buy coins. That's the right approach.

A million dollars now feels really good, but this weekly salary approach... I calculated that living to eighty would earn you 4.26 million? When we trade in the crypto market, we're betting on these compound effects. The power of small, stable inflows is really underestimated.

Is it better to get a million seconds or a stable weekly salary? Honestly, I've been asking this question for so many years, and very few people can truly resist the temptation of a weekly salary.

I choose weekly salary... Over a million isn't enough to do anything. It's better to earn a steady $1,000 weekly, because compound interest, to put it simply, is your friend working for you over time.
