If you were actually offered this gamble in real life, which option would you take?

That reminds me of me calculating the expected value of Ethereum around half a year ago and writing on LW about it. I was pretty certain that there's a >50% chance of 10x returns. However I was to lazy to actually go and buy Ethereum.

Was it because of risk aversion? I don't think so, it was pure lazinss.
