A way to bet on shorter timeline is getting instant payment now and return 10x in 2035. And you will use this money for shorter timeline research. For example, someone who believes in long timelines, gives you 100 USD now, and you return 1000 USD in 2035.
I already did this, yeah. But as I pointed out in the OP, this is strictly inferior to just taking out a low-interest loan. I get 100 USD now and pay back, like, 130 USD in 2035.
