The output of renewable sources of energy is so bad compared to coal and oil so I don't think we're going to see a sustainable and environment friendly crypto future and I don't think that this is just a matter that involves crypto, countries all over the world are going to need to band together to solve this crisis and for us humans, climate change is a slow death and either we have to do something about it to prevent the acceleration or we do some adaptations now before the global sea level rises, that's the only option for us but given how greedy humanity is, we're likely to see ourselves doing the latter which is adapting to the changes.

That's basically the same thing, giving someone a financial advice will inevitably change someone's lifestyle. The money spent on parties and drinking and all the luxurious stuff that your uncle is doing is a financial decision. Maybe I'm wrong and that it's different but I do think that it's not lifestyle that OP's uncle has to change, more like his outlook in life and his behavior.

For me, what OP's uncle needs to do is to allow himself to change and have the will to change because if not then the intervention and help is going to come out as unwanted and there's a possibility that it can get worse. So taking it easy on helping is the best approach, help those who asks for help.

That's the sad truth, we buy stuff that we want and not what we need so we end up with all of this stuff piling up and at the end of the day, these stuff ends up owning us, you know like that one Fight Club quote about consumerism. Maybe our species is just a ball of hungry beast that craves something new everyday so we just do something about it and sate our desires. It's not the end for us even if this world is so rife of consumerism and greed, if we learn how to live modestly and fulfilling, we will eventually learn how to not be owned by the stuff we desire and have, living a life of being happy with what you have is the ultimate goal, at least for me.

Yes, there's nothing wrong but most of the time, we always get an excess and we end up with nothing but those desires. To balance this kind of stuff, the responsibility to others and to yourself, you should learn the ability to prioritize and decide on stuff that matters the most. Prioritizing spending on those that will guarantee the survival of more people is the most moral choice to do.

How someone spends their money is their business, your judgment should be kept to yourself or if you're the kind that can't shut up then talk about it with the others and not with the person because whatever they do with their money, we can't really know the story behind the why unless they tell us.

To answer your question if visionaries make a great CEO, I do think they do but they're an incomplete trait because a great CEO is someone that embodies that vision and cares for the people under him/her, and most of all, a great CEO is someone that also possesses altruistic ideas and always looks out for the greater good even if nobody sees it that way. Vision, altruism, empathy and intelligence are some of the traits that I believe a CEO must possess because I feel like if they don't have any one of the mentioned traits, they're probably a bad one that either exploits their workers, lobbies to dodge taxes and destroy competition, doesn't care if their product or service harms the public or the worst of them all, someone that drives the company into a downward spiral.

This is probably a perfect description of how many of us feel especially those that have racked their brains and worked their asses off to get paid so they can invest in bitcoin and increase what they currently hold. Hopefully I can squeeze in more money to buy myself more bitcoins and hopefully get more profit, I have an unrealistic target price so I don't mind buying right now, I do hope though that you're silver tongue works like a charn and bitcoin really does reach that or even much higher. I don't know if I would agree with your actions against the haters though, it feels like an unnecessary action to me, let them stew in their hateful echo chamber while we bask in riches and reap our profits in peace.

That only works for US based employees or those that have a really high paying jobs in countries that don't get paid in USD, 15 USD an hour is a dream come true for so many people here in my country because most of us get paid in minimum 11 USD a day so I don't know how are we going to do that? Even at your lowest, that's already a big dream for many people here. Maybe if this equation can be translated to a local currency for each country, we could be discussing something big because I feel like if we're to follow this, there's a possibility that a little relaxation in finances will be the reward. I still wish to get paid this way though maybe in the near future.

Totally, people that's not familiar with the issues and scandals that the FreeWallet is on is going to be falling prey to their schemes and I hope that they'll shutdown soon because nothing positive is coming out from this organization and the people involved with them. I hope that more than being shutdown, their syndicate should also be reported to the appropriate authorities and bring them to justice and if I push my hopefulness, the stolen funds to be returned to the people that got their bitcoins and other crypto scammed by this vile entity.

We need to create some articles too, Medium could be a good platform to present evidences about FreeWallet and how they're an unreliable service. Maybe even sharing this very thread to your Telegram, Discord or WeChat groups albeit it needs to be a crypto related group so the message is clear and people aren't asking a lot of questions. Reviews will definitely help and I'm going to be doing my due diligence in adding a report to this and hopefully make the cease and desist of FreeWallet's operation ever closer, it's obvious that more people will fall for their scam as long as they're still in the service, hopefully messages all over the Internet about how scummy they are spread far and wide.

Gives me joy that people are being saved from being victimized by these scummy investment schemes, that's been my mantra ever since I've first heard it in the 6th grade and understood what it meant, kind of reminds of too of that part of the Stairway to Heaven lyrics about all that glitters isn't gold but I digress, such a good thing that there's stuff like this happening once in a while in this board with all the negativity inducing topics here that involves scams, it's refreshing to the eyes to see positive effects of being a member of this forum.

I hope that more people in the future will be like OP, report their findings after consulting here or asking questions.

Have you bought bitcoin before in Binance? There's a possibility that the reason why you're paying so much for 1 bitcoin is probably because of the transaction fees or something, that's the only explanation that I can think of as to why they charge that much. You can put a customer support question if you want answer directly from them.
It's probably something got to do with their UI/UX design, that's the only way that I can think why they're having that problem, maybe they haven't updated it yet. Did it affect your trading or something? If it didn't then you can just brush it off or report it to the Binance support, they might be able to help you. Since it's probably the website then, it's probably as I've suspected.

That's going to be an expensive endeavor to do because that would mean you're going to be putting a reserve for something that may not happen and it's probably not going to be enough to satisfy the users of the said exchange because I'm sure that the protection funds aren't going to be giving back 100% of their funds that was stolen in that exchange so I'm a bit on the side of not approving this because it's not sustainable for the company but if they can do it because they have the funds then it's the best approach.

I may have said that it's the best approach but at the grand scheme of things for the CEX, they're better off investing towards improving their security so the people that are using their service can sleep better at night knowing their funds are safe from attacks, having a protection fund is awesome but it's a band-aid solution to the underlying problem which is the hacks and cyber attacks done on exchanges to steal their funds.

This, this is what I strive to be my life is, not worrying where I will get my next meal and my only worry is that I miss going to this place or going out with my friends having fun, working for money is soul sucking but hopefully I will not do it for my whole life.

Regarding hodling for a long time, I would brag to everyone here that I'm currently hodling a fair amount of bitcoin for about 5 years and it's going to be 6 in my birthday. I have been a believer in bitcoin and I swore to myself that I'm not going to sell or even touch that bitcoin until I've witnessed bitcoin get to a 150k and now that the bullrun is kicking off and a lot of people are expecting a new ATH, I hopefully would be able to get to enjoy the fruit of my patience.

That's not the whole truth, there are exceptions to that rule, some children might grow up that way but despise how their parents spend money but there's a teeny tiny factor that will make or break them into a person that is an exception, be it a friend that they've got that teaches them the value of working hard or that kid just got a higher degree of empathy or their parents taught them that what they're doing isn't the best thing to do when it comes to spending and appreciation of hardwork because they're just depraving the child of stuff which grows to resentment. It should start with the parents having the responsibility to teach their kids because they're the ones that the kid bonds with unless they're an absent parent and the kid only grew up with nannies and butlers, we can expect that kid to grow up as an adult that doesn't value hardwork and will inevitably be living the opulent lifestyle.

OP bought it at Binance and it's likely that that bitcoin is going to be staying there for awhile but I assume that OP has already done his research about having a non-custodial wallet so hopefully OP did have some research about it to store somewhere. That's a hefty sum of bitcoins that OP bought for such a high price in the market, hope that he's going to HODL for long and at the same time get the profit that he deserves for hodling that long. To OP, heed @Jating's advice about creating a non-custodial wallet for your bitcoin storage.

If they listen to reason that is, they'll definitely agree or there's going to be some concessions about all of this plus the transaction fees can go high even without the ordinals anyway so I don't think that the miners are going to struggle too much about them. Are you like a developer too? That your solution is to find other complicated stuff when there's the solution in front of you already? Kidding aside though, miners would probably keep milking these ordinals as it's a really good way for them to make more money for themselves.

I highly doubt that you're still a kid OP, it kind of feels like you're trying to be as sensational as possible and if you're really still just a kid, how the hell are you able to navigate this forum, I'm not saying it's a complicated forum to navigate, it's just that it's weird that you're announcing your age. But if you really are a kid, then I guess I'll have to congratulate you because that means you're a part of the people that have a high IQ and you just feign ignorance so people aren't trying to get in your face too much and investing in bitcoin at such a young age would also mean that your parents care about you and your future.

I wholeheartedly agree with that but what about us, the plebes that don't really have a lot of bitcoin in our disposal but still want to get ourselves the profit that we deserve because we've been hodling for a long time, as much as we want to support the miners by giving them these big transaction fees, we have to remember that retail investors like us are important too.

Basing on your stories, I don't think it's the right decision and hopefully you're not going to do it because the people in the thread are already helping you realize that it's not a good idea or decision to sell that computer, check out the alternatived OP and remember to not be too crazy about bitcoin investment because putting a lot of money of which is more than what you can afford to lose, you might regret that doing along the way. Be content with just the monthly allowance that you're putting into and if you're unsatisfied with that still, you can also apply for a part time job, you might be able to do just that, that computer could be a useful for you to find some other ways to make money online as many have said already.

It also depends on how you handle emotions too, remember that if you're good at doing that then the people around you aren't going to be seeing any behavioral changes because you've harnessed how to handle your emotions. Having to show off that you're having a bad time is a sign that you're having problems doing just that which isn't that bad as long as you don't hurt anyone when you're in that mood. I guess losses is really going to make someone very irritable as losing is a negative thing to happen, no matter how you flip it, you're still going to get negative emotions when you're losing.

Making yourself occupied doesn't mean you're looking for the next dopamine hit, some stuff that can fill the void that will be seeped into by loneliness can be stressful stuff too like working almost all day and only getting a sleep as your rest. To me, that loneliness that someone's feeling isn't rooted in gambling itself because if they're addicted to it, it was their coping mechanism which would mean that there's a possibility that if we cure the source of that lonely feeling, there's the possibility that you might cure also the addiction. I'm not a neuroscientist but the brain needs a constant stimulation but the problem is that it's got to be something productive or healthy so it's not a Sisyphus scenario for you, replacing one bad habit with another bad habit.
