Besides the obvious answer of making money, or rather, how would you do it as an 8 year old? What else would you do?
Holy heck, I’d be highly aware of being somewhere on the autism/add spectrum. That would change everything even if I just knew that.
An example: I actually mined bitcoin when I was a kid, on 2x HD 6850s.
And… lost it, in the depths of some old partition with files everywhere :/. I didn’t take any of that seriously.
I’d have kept a bunch of friends too.
- Be intellectually ahead of everyone my age
- Become an outcast
- Become depressed 😭
More optimistically, I would stop complaining about my bedtime, take better care of my teeth, and join a sports program. Try not to be a perfectionist and put more time toward proper hobbies instead of wasting away on the internet. I’d also treasure my time with my parents a lot more than I did back when I was 8. They’re still around for me, but man do I wish I had more time to spend with them.

Sorry if it wasn’t clear. I intended it to mean you were sent back in time to when you were 8, but you can interpret it however you like.
Did you have access to crypto as an 8 year old? Or would you just wait until you were older?
The latter
I used to think about this a lot and, despite having largely resolved my relevant trauma now, I think my answer is still the same.
I would try to convince my parents that I’m the Antichrist, and if that didn’t work, I’d just stab my dad
Scream.
