I've narrowed my choice down to 2 and need some answers to decide...

Time Travel - You can rewind time for everyone in the universe. But you lose your own memories too. Duh. LOL.

If at some momentous occasion...let's use an example... Say it's near the launch of bitcoin and you decide based on the flip of a coin to invest heavily into it or not. You then proceed to see if the investment pays off and makes you rich or (if it tanks) that you avoided investing in it. If things go poorly, you revert time back, if it goes well you don't.
Even with no knowledge of how things turned out or how many times you've reset the universe, you'll eventually strike it rich by sheer luck. Unless the coin toss at that point becomes pre-determined / fixed or the success of bitcoin changes based on your coin toss to make sure you choose the same (correctly or not) as the first time? But I don't know why that would happen...
Just seems like you could still use the time travel to create the "best timeline" for yourself through specific decision points and brute forcing things until they turn out well.

Teleportation - You can teleport anywhere you want, even to other planets (not sure why cos you'd die instantly from atmosphere but nvm). The only problem is you can't be sure on the exact geographical position of the place you'll be in. You could end up teleporting inside of a pillar or dirt ground or even end up in mid-air and fall to your death. It's a risk-it-all choice of using your power.

What about short ranged "tactical teleportation"? Can you unerringly poof to a location within your own eyesight w/o risk (unless something moves into or happens to that spot in the fraction of a second you make the jump)? Because honestly that alone would be great, without ever risking the longer jumps.
Also, do you have full conscious-only control of your powers? Is there any risk at all of an involuntary teleport (in your sleep via subconsciousness, Bewitched-like sneeze/twich "brain fart", etc...)? If it's not strictly conscious control only, no way in hell do I want this.
