okay, now that I understand the parameters, I can think about what I would ask
is it easier for the genie to do things that would help other people, if it doesn't directly influence my life?
Discussion
Absolutely, but mostly if it's people you don't care a whole lot about helping anyway. If you have a very selfless personality and care more about helping others than helping yourself then helping yourself would be the easier wish in this case.
then I wish for $1 trillion in gold to be discovered in Africa
Congratulations. I bet you're pretty jealous of me tho. I wished for a BLT sandwich.
was your wish granted?
Yeah, I think it was pretty close tho. I fuckin' love sandwiches.
I was hoping to trick the genie by crashing the gold market and pumping my bags of bitcoins
