Honestly , I really hope they won't because things in my country are already way to expensive for most of our citizens. Another rise in energy prices would simply bring people out in the streets but I'm sure that won't change anything because we will not be the only ones affected by this. On the other side , the war Ukraine - Russia already made Romanian prices to go up in all sectors so I really hope the conflict from Israel and Hamas would not have the same effect and I do hope a solution will be available for the world soon.

I still think that there's balance on it. When you're skilled, you know what you're doing and you're basing on your luck. While those that invests randomly, luck will define the result and it's good to see that many of them gets to see their profits.

The risk is never gone, we are in a highly volatile market and that's why risk is part of our daily lives here. Whether someone is an expert or not, the risk remains to be with any asset that we choose to invest. Even with the stable coins.

We live in an unpredictable world where nothing is certain. I had so many plans for this year but most of them don't come to pass not because of my fault but due to unpredictable events. I never knew that my country's currency would lose close to fifty per cent of its value. I also didn't foresee that the government would stop subsidising some important products like petroleum. All these unpleasant economic events affected my plans negatively and it became difficult to meet some of them. However, I am pleased with the little I achieved.

I think that there will be a lot of experts again this time because of how fortunate they are with their crypto choices. Not saying that everyone of them is going to express how they'd able to choose the profitable coins that they've bought. But this has become a norm everytime we enter in the bull run. The difference is that, they're lucky with their assets so they got something to boast but that doesn't mean they're actual experts. Sometimes, this market is just all about luck and don't need that any tip of being good in choices but still, you're better being good in choosing what to invest.

Enmity between the US and Russia has been going on for a long time, and China has become America's biggest enemy in the middle. China advances relations with those with whom the US government builds good relations, or China supports the opposite country that the US supports. American products are banned outright in China and as far as I know Chinese government officials are completely banned from using Apple products. In the war situation between Ukraine and Russia, America directly took the side of Ukraine, on the contrary, China helped Russia. Russia, China, America, these three countries are economically and technologically powerful countries in the world and the military forces of these three countries are strong enough and their military budgets are high enough.

its always been like that taking side on divisive issue cause the company to lose the customers on the other sides, so many companies out there are trying hard to stand neutral but alas some of the side supporter of divisive issue sometime so aggresive they consider even the neutral side to be against them thats the thing with most of the companies nowadays, since company exists to make profit they naturally just gonna go with the flow not taking either sides, different if in a country in regard of the divisive issue the general opinion of the public of such country leaning towards the other side much more the company will definitely follow the general masses opinion and would also take sides since it would also mean that there'd be no meaningful lose to take the sides and instead might gain favour for them and put them in a spotlight.

To begin with, inflation is not a discrepancy. Inflation is an integral part of the current economic system. Echoing franky1, it's there by design. It's intentional. It's there on purpose. It isn't something that takes place because of incompetence or failure on the part of the government or because of something beyond the control of economic managers. That the prices of goods and services will continuously increase and that the purchasing power of money will continuously weaken-- albeit in a moderate and controlled manner-- are part and parcel of what is considered a great economic design.

I would have posted this thread on my local board (Nigerian local board) but I didn't because both Nigerians and other countries can still benefit from this little business idea.
The kind of business I want to share is what is called graundnut oil making. This business idea can help someone that doesn't even have a skill and someone that is not even educated, all the person just needs to have is the money to buy the manufacturing equipment that's all.
With this graundnut oil making business, one can get the kind of life he/she wanted because the demands in this graundnut oil making business are a bit high. One can even start with a little money. However, this business is also an investment. If one can dedicate more time to it, he/she can benefit from it (can make it a company).

this information shows how the demands of the graundnut oil is in my country today is.
You can also watch a little on how to manufacture the graundnut oil, I can even invest more if I have this business and start making more money, so what are your takes in this idea?

The shorter the duration, the smaller the interest rate.
The longer the duration, the higher the interest rate.

You're using an example where taking a mortgage for 15 years and 30 years has a same interest rate, this is unrealistic you will not find this in reality since they've calculate it.

There's no trick to save money except using an old school strategy where the house is used for rent, making money etc.

-edit-
Yeah @itorai. Many people have expectations in this direction, especially in 2024, will it come true or will the dump be even worse than yesterday and Have you started now?

There are people that can't change their minds and that's why they're stagnant and static to what they believe and that means that they're fixed mindsets. And as for the people that has the growth mindset, these are the people that are not afraid to take risks and they always look for room of improvements. They don't give up easily and having this mindset is a gift and it's also being built and developed overtime. With all of the experiences that you've got, you learn how to have a growth mindset. I think that the successful people have the growth mindsets because someone who's stagnant will never grow and successful like them. Or they can be successful, the fixed mindsets but in other ways compared to the growth mindsets. I think the common trait of people with growth mindsets is they always look for challenges and problems to solve.

That's part of the funzies of the forum, and also part of the reason that humble and thick-skinned newer members will likely grow in rank faster.. as long as they are learning along the way, attempting to grapple with topics, and trying to post interesting points from their own experiences.

Speaking out your opinion has nothing to do with the rules of the forum; as long as the forum is concerned, you can air out your opinion, and it's not going to cause any harm to you. One of the offenses that the forum doesn't seem to handle very well is when you are using an AI bot to write comments or when you are committing plagiarism. If you air out your opinion and others feel you are not right with what you are saying, they might criticize you, but at least you will learn from it since you are very conscious. Feel free to speak out your view; we learn every day. You never know who is always reading your comments and when they have learned anything from them or not.

I doubt this topic belongs in this thread but you have made a point though. And i can't agree more with you. Nothing in the world is easy even crypto itself seems to be so easy and a lot of people think (All we have to sit in front of laptop/mobile to make money). But in reality a person at start can not manage to sit for 4 to 8 hours in front of devices. Then these types of persons leave the industry or that work by complaining the work is not suitable for them. Actually what you are trying to do here is motivating new comers to not to leave this platform because many people do leave this platform for many factors.

Overall, we should also support them like we were supported when we were new, my local community members really motivated me encouraged me and cared about me in many ways that i can not think of. So, whenever a newbie came in our local community or even in any board i when see there post i also try to encourage them Because nothin is easy for anybody everybody have to make efforts to achieve something and that how economy works too. So we have to be hardworking but at the same time smart worker too.

(Cut a little) all these couldn't have been possible if we have not been making savings to have enough to use in terms of needs.

I’m from South East Asia. Even though poverty is very high here, Bitcoin is still not popular among the poor since they can’t afford to out money on investments while their salaries is not sufficient to their daily needs. Most of the poor here don’t have a chance to know or invest on Bitcoin.

Although Bitcoin might really help them to break free to poverty. Having the money for investment is the biggest concern since poverty is cycle here that passed down to children and so on since jobs here doesn’t pay well even with bachelors degree.

 but keep enough cash for savings/emergencies.

To enter these six insurances, you have to pay a monthly fee as a mandatory requirement because this is what makes some people feel burdened Because not everyone has a fixed income and if they don't have an income then it is impossible to afford the monthly expenses. If people have a good source of income, then insurance is the right choice because it can protect health, education and damages costs when unexpected things happen.

Of course, war usually has a profound and lasting effect on any economy because it affects the overall economic stability of that country. Nothing will function well because of the impact the war has caused. war brings about inflation, trade disruption, currency devaluation, an increase in government spending, and lots of infrastructural and human damage, so many refugees and IDP camps to mention a few.
Oil plays a significant role in modern warfare due to its role in energy supply, logistics, and so on but there are other resources like information, food and water, mineral and material resources, economic and financial resources that also help in determining the outcome of a conflict.
