Per Holden's Back To The Future 2 theory, he suggested that time traveling to the past is boring/useless. Read his whole argument for a better idea of his theory. While Holden made several great points, after thinking about it, I've come up with some thoughts opposed to only time traveling to the future.
Time Traveling into the future would only be profitable if you could go back to your original time. Marty McFly had the delorean which was able to carry him back to 1985, but what if this jump was only a one time event. In such a case, going into the future may be unwise.
To begin with, there's the obvious plot that Blast From The Past, Encino Man, and Brenden Frasier in general has taught us. You will be uneducated about the world events that have occured since you time traveled. You would just be that guy who knows the same thing as old people do. Go on and on about how in his day, facebook and google ruled the world.
But maybe you decided to go far into the future, after laptops and desktop computers had gone the way of the dinosaur and cellphones were now old technology where everyone gets everything you need is in a chip implanted in you (Mulder was right). Man continues to evolve and get smarter with every jump. But you're still set in your old ways, now having to catch up to the faster world.
With out that delorean, you won't winning any horse races. The only way to use time traveled knowledge to make the dough is to travel back to 2004 and bet a hard eight when you know its coming, bet on the RedSox to win the World Series, and 4 8 15 16 23 42 to win the lottery. Maybe while you're in 2004, start up a website called Twitter and make even more bank. Oh and do us a favor and tell congress that GM, Ford, Chrysler, and AIG will sqwander any money they give them, and you should know, you're from the future.
