Unfortunately little tyrants will be everywhere, but since they stay insignificant, they aren't a problem for others at all. If each person is able to take care their own life without intromissions from others it's already a big achievement!

The dilemma on this situation is that if each one takes care their own life only, at some point a group can appear on this scenario, trying to control the way others are living, and in this case the majority living individually is weaker against the minority, but organized faction.

I believe that is somehow what happened with Globalism in the world. People were just living their lives normally and were taken unwarned by a group seeking for power (or by a group making the maintenance of the power)... In the end these tyrants make a mess: They can't justify their own decisions because they act corporately, just to fulfill their own interests: sometimes what is wrong is right, but in another day the wrong is wrong or the right is wrong...

And it finishes on your final phrase: "Bitcoin made the world a better place, marginally". It's true, because the real meaning of what these "leaders" say is exactly the opposite, what is considered "informal" by them may have much more legitimacy than what they consider as "formal" (Bitcoin's case).

Yes, they are mad about this possibility. But don't underestimate their strategical and machiavellian capacity to turn the tables at their favour again. They already know Blockchain isn't their enemy, Bitcoin is. They will try to use Blockchain, but excluding Bitcoin. They will sell an idea that the Crypto-Currencies they advice people to use (the currencies that are under their influence) are superior to Bitcoin in all aspects.

They will change the faces, the labels, but the content will continue being the same...

A globalized world is a world without personality constituted by a lot of default people. The local cultures would mean nothing, they wouldn't exist anymore, no borders, no territories, only a big mixed "bacchanal". Bitcoin doesn't necessarily need to lead humanity through this way.

Actually, all this talk about a globalized free world for everyone is a lie, because from this false free society a new tyrant would rise and control everyone else using the force. That is what happens where there aren't laws or where the laws mean nothing. In a situation like that, Bitcoin is just a detail.

What do you expect from Bitcoin? If you are putting all your economies on it, expecting Bitcoin to save your financial life, expecting to become millionaire from this investment, then yes, you are putting your money at big risk. To give much importance to money is always risky, because financial markets aren't solid, they are very volatile and are always changing their form. You just need to calculate if it worths the risk or not for you.

In life, there are very low risk choices we make, but that aren't enough to satisfy our expectations. So to avoid risk maximum as possible isn't always the best solution for all our dilemmas.

To pay interest to the bank is out of question. That is a waste, with such amount of money you could buy 2 or 3 houses in cash. If you don't have money to buy your dream's property, buy another one you can afford and rent or resell it with some upgrades. This way you make your money grow until you have enough conditions to buy the ideal property.

Meanwhile, use a part of your money to buy some Bitcoins, and keep it safely or keep it invested somewhere. I think the important here is to not put all your tickets on Bitcoin, as it would save your financial life. There are different combinations to do with your money to enjoy the maximum potential of it.

So now Crypto-Currency world is a fraternity where people must prove courage to others, otherwise the person doesn't deserve belonging to it.
Ok...

The market isn't that bad, nothing out of control at this moment... But it's true the charts don't look very exciting like times ago. The reason behind this is hard to expose with sure, all you will find is speculation. So I will speculate as well: Maybe some good investors turned their BTCs into fiat to travel and have some fun in Russia, participating in the World Cup.

Events like that we don't see with much frequency, and those who have money to participate don't usually lose the opportunity to do so. Big bets are being made in fiat too...

More countries should follow this example. If the country has deficit, the government must decrease the state's size, shut off political/worthless positions, review if all the expenses are really necessary... But the globalists like to go through the most confortable path, that is: to increase taxes everywhere!

Then the productive sector loses interest and inspiration to work and improve. When it doesn't happen, businessmen try finding a more "fertile land" to start their operations. The most receptive countries, with lower taxes win the game - More jobs, development and technology are guaranteed for the winners.

Tax cuts work, but Non-Tax cuts the globalists income...

I think diversification of funds would be a better idea... Bitcoin is indeed a very good investment compared to any investments banks offer to us, but never put all your eggs on the same basket, as the old proverb says. $20.000 is a considerable amount of money to be neglected.

However, if what you say is really true, what is done is done and now everything you can do is to pray for the best. Let's hope the market becomes green soon, otherwise your uncle will never give you any cent anymore in your life!

Public money being used for social spendings is usually a way to please the poorest class with pennies, while keeping it lazy and indolent. The managers, as you say, don't incentive people to work and to improve their lives quality to stop depending on government's social programs to survive. And the reason behind this is that they want a decent number of people depending on them each new polls year.

That is the perfect golden mine. Managers are always increasing their wages (that are already high), creating new jobs for their relatives, friends and stooges; Distributing pennies to the masses, guaranteeing this way new and new mandates.

But someone has to finance this play, the money has to come from somewhere. And it doesn't come from the benefited ones, neither from the managers who create these schemes and social programs. So there must be another group of citizens paying high taxes over everything and anything to keep the gear going on... In the end the middle citizen is the fool, being used by everyone around! (Well, at least in third world countries).

In some cases that is true. There are cases of people who were stupid using their money and became poor. Even people who were millionaires someday became poor because their own stupidity, bad choices. Not bad choices like investing on the wrong business, but I mean wasting money with obvious fail ideas: Gambling, blind consumerism, giving money to everyone around (buying friendships...).

And there are other people who just don't worry too much about money and their financial status, they live fine without much money. In this case I don't think they are stupid, even being close to poverty.

To spread information around is always a good idea, just make sure to explain all the risks involved in BTC investment too, otherwise people you "refer" to Crypto-Currency's world will complain a lot later if they lose money... The investors' goal is that BTC's price keeps rising, but everyone should be prepared for the opposite possibility too!

To invest in precious metals is a wise idea. The name says everything: precious! And that is a good reason to invest in such goods. It guarantees stability for your money, it's a way to protect your money against depreciation. By investing in currencies you won't have the same security.

I'm not sure if only older people are doing this, if so, the younger ones should learn with them... And the younger ones should also teach the olders to invest in BTCs. More knowledge for both generations!

I believe Crypto-Currency will reach on this department lastly. This department is the most distant from technology among all the others. Especially if we are talking about small traditional stores. It will take a long time yet, the old farmers and shop-sellers of our days won't adopt this technology, maybe their heirs will, as a younger generation is usually receptive to the innovations the future brings.

I think it means Bitcoin supply is limited, what is good because it makes the whole system works naturally, protected against any kind of governments interventions (governments like to "solve" a crisis printing more money, what doesn't really solve anything). This Bitcoin's feature isn't only good and responsible, but also a differential compared to any other official currency in the world.

First of all, you must like to live in an environment like that, you must like the excitement of a big city and everything it offers to its citizens. If you don't like it and feel frustrated, you are wasting your time, it's better to move to the country.

Confort and overpopulation doesn't match. Everyone needs enough space for their individual needs and how can people have it in small places full of people? Not only the apartments are the problem (usually very small), but the stores as well. There isn't privacy, there isn't calm on people's actions, there isn't harmony. But some people like this kind of environment... It's like that saying: "What cannot be cured must be endured".

The mind develops the emotions. The main emotions are related to the desire of making money and the fear of losing money. Then it's necessary to balance your mind with another kinds of emotions, otherwise the fear, ansiety and impatience will take control and affect your personal life negatively.

I try to think about Bitcoin's profitability as something that is very welcome, but that I could live fine without it. It's also important to occupy your time with another activities, so you won't be very addicted in Bitcoin's fluctuations all day long, and consequently you won't be so stressful. This way the mind finds the necessary balance to affect your life positively.

If it's so easy to have a decrease in price from $6000 to $500, why didn't it happen yet?
There is no reason to believe BTC is a scam, simply because it's not. Bitcoin doesn't promise you any guaranteed return. It's not like a scam scheme that says you will earn 10% daily profit for a month or lifetime. The risks and rules here are clear.

If the man uses his intuition for the good, the economy can keep growing in a progressive scale or it can continue in a straight line, keeping the quality and the balance at same time. The reduction in resources isn't a reduction at all, it's just a transformation, a metamorphosis, it's not wasted. However when the man uses his intuition for the evil, this metamorphosis doesn't happen, but the destruction. Resources, time, effort are wasted.

The opportunity is where there aren't many people exploring that same thing. Bitcoin has appeared as a powerful investment, and many people came to it expecting the best. But it's not possible to say if it will last when everyone starts doing the same thing, buying/investing in BTC and waiting for financial returns. After all Bitcoin is a currency, and at some point it might not be the most advisable investment.

The "Millennials" act for impulse, better to think twice before leaving traditional investments like properties. This is the kind of investment that should never be left aside.
