21  Other / Politics & Society / Re: why would someone think of suicide? on: January 22, 2023, 10:46:06 AM
There are many factors that can contribute to someone making the decision to commit suicide, including mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder; substance abuse; a history of trauma or abuse; a recent loss or change; feelings of hopelessness or helplessness; and a lack of support or sense of belonging. It's important to note that suicide is a complex issue.

Offensive words and less demeaning alternatives:

There are certain words that shouldn’t be used in the description of people or certain situation
 
It is offensive to refer to someone as a “drug addict” the proper term is a  “person struggling with substance use” or a “person with substance use disorder”.

“Drug addiction” in itself is also said to be offensive and is mostly being replaced with “Substance use disorder”

It is offensive to use the term “disabled person” is offensive. A better replacement can be a “differently abled person”.

When you want to make a reference to a mental health issue you do not refer to the individual as “a crazy person” rather a “person with a mental health issue”.

When talking about someone who lost their life through suicide you don’t say “committed suicide”  it is less offensive to say “died by suicide”.

Hope this helps 😄

Thank you for these few tips on how to address people in an appropriate or more friendly manner.
But apart from using these friendly words, how you treat this set of people is more important. If you address somebody well and don't give him the right support, it makes less sense. We should support does that are struggling with drugs by giving them the right counsel. They should not be treated like outcasts or nonentities. Some of them are suffering because of bad company or wrong decisions. Like in my country, substance users are classified as criminals. The physically challenged population is suffering from discrimination, and we must help to give them a sense of belonging. They must be treated equally and not be pushed aside because of their conditions.

Recently a university student committed suicide due to the wrong treatment he suffered from other students. He was intimidated and ostracized because he misappropriated less than $120 of the student union fund. He killed himself because of how he was treated. My point is that we should move further from speaking rightly to acting rightly.
you are very correct.
Demeaning words can have a negative impact on people by causing feelings of hurt, anger, or insecurity. They can also contribute to a culture of discrimination and marginalization. Using derogatory words can harm an individual's mental and emotional well-being and can also lead to further discrimination and marginalization in larger social and cultural contexts. In addition, it can also affect the self-esteem, self-worth and the overall mental health of an individual. It is important to be mindful of the language we use and to avoid using demeaning words.

Learning is good in general (although it won't necessarily make things great), and I think a person shouldn't feel bad if a lesson was learned. It's totally fine to be wrong about some things and realize it later. It's worse to never recognize one's mistakes and have to progress. Moreover, I don't think people should invest in something they don't believe in, so I'd say not buying Bitcoin when you think it can be a scam is reasonable.
Bitcoin is still in pretty early days of adoption, still probably has a lot of potential to go up and to become more widely used.
very true,t's good to have a better understanding of what you want to invest on. I probably didn't have the understanding then.

Educating individuals who are illiterate about Bitcoin can be challenging, as it requires finding alternative methods of communication. Here are a few strategies that may be effective:

Use visual aids: Create diagrams, charts, or illustrations to explain key concepts related to Bitcoin. This can help individuals who are illiterate understand the basic mechanics of how Bitcoin works.

Use videos and audio recordings: Create videos or audio recordings that explain key concepts related to Bitcoin. This can be helpful for individuals who are illiterate, as they can watch or listen to the videos and recordings multiple times to better understand the information.

Use hands-on demonstrations: Use physical objects or props to demonstrate how Bitcoin transactions work. This can help individuals who are illiterate understand the process of sending and receiving Bitcoin.

Use a translator: if the person doesn't speak the same language as you, use a translator to explain the concepts related to Bitcoin.

Engage a local community leader or someone who already understand Bitcoin to help educate the illiterate person.

Overall, it's important to remember that educating individuals who are illiterate about Bitcoin will require patience and a willingness to try different approaches until an effective method is found.
26  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: what are the disadvantages of paper wallet on: January 21, 2023, 11:22:26 AM
One disadvantage of using a paper wallet for storing Bitcoin is that it is prone to physical damage, such as being torn, burned, or otherwise destroyed. Additionally, if the private key on the paper wallet is lost or stolen, the funds stored on the wallet will likely be unrecoverable. Additionally, paper wallets can be difficult to use for everyday transactions, as they require manual input of the private key. This could lead to mistakes, such as accidentally transferring funds to the wrong address or losing access to the funds altogether.
Overall, paper wallets are considered less convenient and less secure than other forms of Bitcoin storage, such as hardware wallets or software wallets.

Quit smoking to survive

Once upon a time, there was a young man named Greg who smoked cigarettes every day. He knew it was bad for his health, but he couldn't quit. One day, he went to the doctor for a check-up and found out he had lung cancer. The doctor told him that it was caused by his smoking habit. He was shocked and saddened by the news. He realized that he had to quit smoking if he wanted to have any chance of survival. With the help of his family and friends, he managed to quit smoking and undergo treatment for his cancer. He also started to exercise and eat healthier. His cancer went into remission, and he was able to live a normal life again. He was grateful for the second chance and never smoked again. He also became an advocate for others to quit smoking to avoid the same fate as him.

I heard about Bitcoin years ago but due to my lackadaisical attitude toward things,

I am here now, I understand better and I am ready to learn from everyone.


Learning never ends, and to teach others, we must learn ourselves. Earl Nightingale said, “One hour per day of study in your chosen field is all it takes. One hour per day of study will put you at the top of your field within three years. Within five years, you’ll be a national authority. In seven years, you can be one of the best people in the world at what you do.” That is to say, if you had learned about Bitcoin some years ago, as mentioned, probably you would have held more Bitcoin or not. Some people claim they already know a lot about cryptocurrency, while they are lagging in some vitals.

A special welcome from me; keep learning, mate. In the forum, you will get a lot of opinions, but you have to filter out the ones that you think are best and most useful to you. I normally say Bitcoin still has a lot of potential in the future, so even if you invest now, there is still a new all-time high coming for Bitcoin.
Thanks for the welcome, I am ready and willing to learn from you all.
29  Bitcoin / Mining / what I understand about bitcoin mining as a newbie on: January 21, 2023, 05:25:14 AM


Bitcoin mining is the process of using computer power to solve complex mathematical problems in order to verify transactions on the Bitcoin network.

Miners are rewarded for their efforts with newly minted bitcoins and transaction fees.

The difficulty of the mathematical problems adjusts dynamically to ensure that the average time between mined blocks stays at about 10 minutes. As more miners join the network, the difficulty increases to maintain this average time.
This process helps to ensure the security and integrity of the Bitcoin network. The energy consumption of the bitcoin network is very high.

Nobody cares about being safe with drugs. If they did, they would have never gotten the Covid vaxx.

Cool
why would anyone not care about health talk, when it's for their own good.

Health talk can have several benefits, including:

Improved communication between patients and healthcare providers, which can lead to better understanding of medical conditions and treatment options.

Increased patient engagement and empowerment, which can result in better adherence to treatment plans and improved health outcomes.

Early identification and management of mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, which can improve overall well-being.

Enhanced patient satisfaction and trust in the healthcare system.

Better coordination of care among healthcare providers, which can lead to more efficient use of resources and improved patient outcomes.

Access to the latest medical information and advances, which can help patients make informed decisions about their health.

Welcome to the forum, the oldest and most famous bitcoin forum about bitcoin. It's not just you and many people, myself included, who have chosen to ignore bitcoin in the past. In spite of this, don't think it's too late to start investing in Bitcoin - I can tell you that it's still very early in the game to invest in Bitcoin at the moment. We are still in the early stages of the bitcoin revolution because don't let the opportunity pass again. As long as you work hard and seriously with bitcoin from now on, I believe that in 5 years you will also achieve success as early investors.
thank you, i promise never to relent on this journey.

I discovered that people with low self esteem are easily angered because little things gets to them. I was like that until I begin to love and care for myself more. I don't let people's opinions about me define who I am. I am good just the way I am.
