They are quite expensive to implement and complicate. I think that these two ways of creating energy will co-exist for many years to come.
If we can improve efficiency and create new tech to lower the cost, then it will be cheaper in the future. I think it's just how tech works. Just take a look at the computer market for example. You can find a fast processor for under $100 now, which can compete with the top 10 CPUs in the 90s, and so on. Tech will improve, so time will tell whether we can solve that problem or not. Unless it was monopolized, and the government doesn't support innovation, I don't think lowering the cost will be a huge problem. I agree, renewable energy sources will be cheaper to implement in the future, they are a relatively new technology, which is now facing a larger adoption. Just like mobile phones, which were way too expensive 10 years ago, and now they are dirt cheap. Solar and wind energy are the most basic source someone can have, I don't know how efficient they are though. |

You're quoting some random WordPress websites with doubtful sources, which even supposing they are true, it's still not that big of a deal, but antivaxxers seem to stick on every little information they find. I highly doubt that these numbers are accurate, and even if they are, if you do the maths, it's probably less than 1 in a million probability that you have life threatening side effects, while chances of being infected with Covid is 1 in 100.000. We ' anti-vaxer conspiracy theorists' don't normally do your ' new math'. As always, one doesn't get ' infected with covid'. One (probably) does get infected with SARS-cov-2 and usually never even knows it because the 'disease' is so mild. The best estimates of the infection rate at the present time seem to be, conservatively, 1 in 2, and most of these infections in most regions happened over a year ago. In short, this half of the population will have much better immunity to the whole family of SARS-cov-2 viruses (delta, delta+, gamma, epsilon, etc, etc) than people who got the gene therapy injection. Even people who got immunity naturally can and are being set back by the jab because the gene therapy seems to neutralize the anti-bodies that their natural immune system generated to protect them. It also seems that prior infected people are more likely to have an adverse event when they get the jab which, to the educated mind, screams ' antibody dependent enhancement'. Severe vaccine side effects are only a rare occurrence, it's only a few cases, compared to the million of deaths in the world, by Covid-19. Those statistics you are claiming about vaccines, are way too insignificant, if you compare them to Covid-19 related deaths, but conspiracy theorists use them to point their finger at vaccinations. |

There is no equal sign between wealth and happiness. Rich does not mean happiness. Money can buy a lot, but not health, love and knowledge, but the purpose of many people making money is to be happier. You may have a rich pocket, but your head is empty.
Money can't bring happiness for anyone but In handling life money is essential for all spheres. Some people always Rich but not happy but some people always poor but happy. So money and happiness completely a different subject. Money cant buy happiness.. Money cant buy time Money cant buy Loyal Money cant buy Health Money cant buy Love Money cant buy Respect Money cant buy Manners Money cant buy Character Money cant buy Friendship and there's more..Yes, these are things which other rich man people or financially independent is looking for. There's no such thing about perfect life but having lots of money could really give out that satisfaction in terms of physical things. I'll disagree, money can buy happiness and better health prosperity, at least up to a specific degree. Money may not buy you time, but it will definitely save you time, if you're lacking the funds to pursue something you need. On top of that, try having cancer while having no money or life insurance to pay for therapies. Money shouldn't be our life goal, however, it should be used as a tool for a better lifetime. |

Are they future? Oh yes definitely they are the future. But are they going to be there 100%, thats big No. Unfortunately its not happy thing to say but there are many challenges while using the renewable sources which primarily contains Solar, Wind, Tidal power etc. More news ways are also being invented every time but with low success rate of getting used. This is because of the cost involved to build the structures. In addition to this Nature is not always happy with humans it can destructing and sometimes the Sun can be so shy you would die to freez.
Im just saying this shorty but if you think about it deeply you will understand how things can go wrong if we think about 100% nature dependence. Different geography, different weather cycles and more factors to affect continuous production of clean energy.
That's what I also believe. It's highly unlikely that the whole world will be dependent on renewable energy sources. They are quite expensive to implement and complicate. I think that these two ways of creating energy will co-exist for many years to come. On top of that, not all countries can depend on solar energy, for instance, we have more than 300 days of sunshine per year, thus, some areas could possibly benefit from solar panels. |

Believe it or not, the mRNA is a very promising technology for a variety of diseases that it's been currently tested, such as cancer. With the advance of technology, we'll be able to face diseases that were incurable in the past. Leave BADecker aside though, he's a full time conspiracy theorist. |

Of course they are the future, oil and gas is a limited resources, and it's also very important for chemical industry. People of the future would be blaming us for burning it not only because of global warming, but also because they will have less oil to make plastics and chemicals. And you should also consider that oil as we know it can currently only be found on Earth, because we don't even know about any life outside of Earth.
However, nuclear energy is not considered renewable, but I think it's also the future, it's getting bad rep because of crazy eco-activists, but it is clean and most of the nuclear materials will not be needed for other purposes, so it's okay to use it for energy.
Nuclear energy isn't actually renewable, if used correctly though, it's a quite efficient and clean source of energy. However, it's not really the safest, if something goes wrong, we're pretty much screwed. The question is, can the whole planet be dependent on renewable energy sources? The EU currently has targeted to reach 40% until 2030, will it be surpassed? If I'm not mistaken, the current share of renewable energy sources is approximately 20%. |

The world has been depending on burning fossil fuels for energy, throughout all these years. With dependence on fossil fuels, soon enough these finite materials will be depleted. Not only that, but it also has adverse effects for the environment, everything from air to ocean and land pollution.
Fossil fuels include, coil, oil and natural gas, with the latter being cleaner that oil and coal in terms of emissions. Let's also keep in mind how strenuous of a process it is to extract oil, promoting environmental disasters.
Most common renewable energy sources include, solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, tidal energy and a few others.
The big question here is, can the world be 100% dependent on renewable energy sources? How can that be achieved and are they sustainable?

Keep holding your BTC. BTC will surge higher again soon.
When? There is no certain time for the next pump. No one knows the BTC price will increase again or never increase again this year. Keep holding is a good strategy, but selling is also not a bad decision. I am not holding all my Bitcoin, I keep selling a small number sometimes. It makes me get USDT to buy altcoins in a cheap price right now. It doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon. I have a relatively small amount of BTC, since I invested most into yield mining, however, I don't see much point in selling any BTC now, unless you're a daily trader. I'll keep on holding, hoping that in a couple of months, the price surges to high levels and increases in value. It's possibly a decent time to step back and observe the market, there might be other opportunities that might have gone unnoticed. |

Chances are, that you won't be quite successful making money if you do not take risks, not just in crypto, but in every aspect of life. Bitcoin is also considered a high risk investment, which had extremely high returns the past few years. I've also came across this in DeFi projects. Higher risk ones had great rewards, while those who involve minimal risk, made me only a few bucks at most.
On top of that, I don't think it has much to do with age, rather than the personality and your character, some are risk takes, some others aren't.

There are people who are still hesitant to get vaccinated, eventually, they will be a liability in the long run because when the world is back to normal, people will be required to get vaccinated in order to live a normal life. What I mean is, like we usually do before the pandemic, like going to the malls, be in crowded places, and etc.
The problem is that 70% to 80% vaccination rate is needed to achieve herd immunity. If large sections remain unvaccinated, then the herd immunity can never be achieved. And there is another risk factor as well. If the infection rate doesn't subside, then there is a greater chance of new mutations with the virus. And eventually there will be a mutation which produces a vaccine-resistant strain of the virus. And that will push back all the efforts by two years and if that happens then the vaccines need to be invented yet again. I know it's possible that we will face a new virus that needs a new vaccine, but let's just stick to the current situation and solve the current problem. The government will play an important role to make things faster and make it compulsory for everyone to get vaccinated, and for sure they'll achieve their target since I believe we don't have any shortage of vaccines since we have a lot of labs in different parts of the world producing it. the problem is that each country has the same or different vaccines, if it is the same vaccine globally, there is a possibility that new virus variants that are immune to vaccines will appear, and of course vaccine production will continue to be developed. but don't let the production of vaccines become a business in the future so that it can harm many people because it requires everyone to be vaccinated to prevent the virus The manufacturer wouldn't be able to keep up with the production if all countries were using one specific vaccine. That's why there are several companies currently on the market. I don't think new strains are that much of an issue though, they may decrease their efficacy, but won't render them useless, there still be some kind of immunity. In the worst case scenario, a booster dose may be distributed for the newer strains. |

I would like to change the perspective, I would suggest rather than investing what you save, invest what you earn, I mean a set percentage should every month go to your investments and the remaining should be used as expenses for living, adopting this kind of culture in your life you will see you are able to invest much more money than the previous scenario, it's because when you have money with you, you will end up spending it some manner or the other, but if you throw it into your investment on the day you receive your earning, you would have just enough money to cover your expenses. ~snip~ ~snip~ It is fairly obvious, but there are people out there that have written 200 pages self-help books and made a fortune out of them by simply stating this simple fact of life: "you can invest your savings. If you ainīt got any, you ainīt gonna invest". (I admit you could argue that you can borrow but still nobody ainīt lending ya if you ainīt gonna givvet baksh).
The basic concepts that will save you a 15 bucks book:
- you invest so that your money works for you. Even if you cannot drop your job, you can still live a bit better with extra income.
- Investing is sacrificing something today to get something tomorrow. This is just a definition. You save x today because you want 2x tomorrow or in year or whenever.
- The first step to invest is saving part of your income. No savings, no future.
- If you have credits unpaid (other than mortgages or other asset backed credits), you pay those first because they charge you a lot.
And from here we could start speaking on how are you going to save regularly, if it is going to be 10% of your income, or 5% or 50%, how are you going to learn about investing, etc...

I've also thought about this, but never dared to implement it. Likewise, I'm working an 8-hour job, and I'm currently able to live pretty comfortable, setting money aside each month. When I invested into DeFi/Yield mining, I thought that it would be a good idea to invest a couple of hundred dollars each month into other projects. I've actually done it once, in order to boost my investment, but I never proceeded to do it again, rather than invest my salary, I decided that it's safer to reinvest any money I earn through my main investment, without involving any external funds. I think your problem is diversification. Don't just invest in new project, create a mixed portfolio of cryptocurrencies, stocks even some bonds to hedge your portfolio, see the truth is even with cryptos taking over the stock market isn't going anywhere and is much less volatile than cryptos, so a certain set of investment should go there to make sure that you don't burn a lot of your money in new projects because those are really risky and you might never even get your investment back from them. In such projects, a person should not invest beyond 10% of his total assets. It's highly risky, you are taking a big risk for the return involved. I've also found it wrong that when investing into DeFi projects, I placed all my money in one specific vault. Looking back now, it was risky and inconsiderate, since algorithmic stablecoins weren't 100% safe, of course. After their crash, I was extremely cautious and would only invest in lower risk vaults, (with a lower reward of course too). On the other hand, DeFi and crypto is my only investing experience, I never had anything to do with bonds or stocks in the past. |

next august I will get a second vaccine injection which is held for free by the government of my country...
So far the covid vaccine that is injected into my body is quite safe, as long as I don't have heart disease or high blood pressure, the doctor says the vaccine won't be a problem for my body.
Be ready that after you get your second vaccine, in next 24h you would probably have high temperature and would feel bad or completely destroyed. So dont plan anything urgent on the next after your second shot. There is no 100% probability that you would feel terrible after second shot, but most people do. Basically vaccine is safe, as long as you are healthy and have a good immune system. If not, then there is a chance that second shot will try to stimulate new or sharpen previous your illnesses. I've also heard about this, regarding the Pfizer vaccine, which I'm getting next Thursday. However, I haven't heard of many cases of high fever, but only mere effects of feeling drowsy or dizzy. I didn't have any side effects with the first dose whatsoever, I'll get back and report to this thread when I receive the 2nd dose. |

I got vaccinated last week, and had no side effects whatsoever, only a little arm pain on the shot's location, which was gone a few days later.
Which vaccine did you got last week ? Sinovac Vaccine, as this vaccine is known that it does not have any side effects and not even have a mild fever. People say that AstraZeneca Covid Vaccine has a lot of side effects while if you take Pfizer Vaccine, you will get a high fever in a day or two. Astrazeneca has many side effects compare to other Vaccine .. for me I'LL choose sinovac because in my condition sinovac is fit for me.. Isn't Sinovac China's vaccine? Haven't really noticed if Sinovac is being distributed in Europe, where are you located, if you don't mind me asking? Moreover, statistically speaking, even AstraZeneca's vaccine side effect cases are completely insignificant, compared to how many people have been vaccinated with it. |

I decided to leave the Bitvest signature campaign, I am very grateful to CryptopreneurBrainboss for giving me the opportunity to be a part of Bitvest signature campaign. And of course I'm also thankful for Lightlord who always gives bonus payments  . For all Bitvest signature members I apologize if any of my posts make you upset or offended, I'm just an ordinary human who must have mistakes. Hopefully the Bitvest signature campaign can stand in the long term. It's sad to see someone leave the campaign, I wish you good luck to whatever you do next. Wish you the best. |

I was always saving any BTC I earned to a separate wallet, which was used for investing and occasional trading. Saving is what turned me a few hundred dollars, into a $3.000 investment. I sold my BTC a few months ago and then invested my money into yield mining and DeFi projects. I managed to turn my small savings wallet into a proper investment, which is still generating income.
Saving money is vital when it comes to investing.

Currently, my working time is 100% online, in addition to making money-making videos on youtube, I also do online money-making campaigns, sometimes working all day for more than 10 hours and playing games that can be invested in. make money like aixe, so everyday for me is almost 100% making money online, a month profit is about $ 250 - $ 300 depending on the month but life is stable during this covid season
That's good to know that you've been maximizing your time and making money online. Is $250-$300 is just an estimation or it's a firm amount that you're earning online with those activities that you do? When you say 'aixe', I think that you meant to say axie, right? AFAIK, people who got it are earning more than the amount you've said per month. It is axie indeed since its currently on hype now and basing on the amount then it is usually the amount that a certain person could earn on that game as a scholar so i presuming that it is likely he's talking about that game which i could say that it could really be a life saving into this pandemic situation but depending on which country you do live in because value of $200-300 isnt really that much when you do live on a 1st world country but if you do live on 3rd world then that would really be a significant one. When my monthly salary is approximately 750 euros (around 880 dollars), so earning $300 extra per month is 1/3rd of my salary, which would be great. I used to earn more than $250 per month just by the Iron Finance Defi Project. Unfortunately, it was short-lived and only lasted a month. Anything I do online, isn't to make a living, but to make living a little more comfortable. |

Yes! I am doing signature campaigns as well as day trading to manage my expenses. Offline job conditions are not very good and majority of the business were severely hit by the COVID. I also write few article and proof read some when every I get free time.
I doubt it could finance even your weekly needs. The only thing that could ever give us best money online in my own opinion is either day trading or having free lancing. Signature campaigns nowadays are for sidelines only not for main source of income. Bounties are much worse. I just hope this will change in the near future. It doesn't, it's just a side income but week by week, it can add up into decent pocket money. Signature campaign earnings have severely dropped, but I'm not beefing about it, it's almost a second nature to write a few posts per day. I've currently assigned a separate wallet just for that and I've gathered a small but reasonable amount of money. Yeah its true. Just let the money stay in another wallet and let your income grow as BTC grows. As for me, were signature paying BTC isn't a thing anymore, bounties are my main source of sidelines. However its almost once in a blue moon to have and join a good paying bounty. Some worth 1$ after a month of work and some even dont pay you at all. I don't want to say names but some high ranking bounty managers doesn't even care about hunters anymore. BTC campaign, which has a fixed rate and is paid weekly, is the best if you want a constant and sure income. The majority of this campaign is aimed at promoting their gambling website. But, 3 years ago, I believe you could make a lot of money in bounties, and that was before shitcoin came along. I recall that there were a lot of successful bounties, and whatever you choose, they are really good and after a week or a month, they are already listed on exchanges, where a dump usually occurs. Bounties are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and signature campaigns in Bitcoin are reliable, ensuring that you will receive the same amount of money each week. I had participated in two/three bounty campaigns which, unfortunately, never took off. It was Nolly and Kakushin if I remember correctly. They are both worthless and was a total waste of time. Bounties can be extremely profitable if they take off, but I wouldn't depend on them as an income. My campaign doesn't have a fixed rate, so my income is dependent on how much time I spend around here. |

Fortunately i am never invest in Defi project, i dont know why but i could felt this project full of risk when token exploited. As said above there are defi project rug pulled and alot of investors suffer huge losses. Personally i am prefer invest in project that based new platform technology , they create a breakthrough to make creating smart contract be easy for everyone. One basic principle was never trust anyone in cryptocurrecny market, and Defi be a place for trusted person only meanwhile human nature was like not that.
Look, I get what you're saying, it's a risky business but may involve reasonable or high rewards without involving much effort. There are vaults that offer minimal risk, the one I mentioned before (Iron Finance) was the safest and easiest passive income I made, before it went down. Fortunately for me, I was in BSC and not Polygon, thus, my money wasn't in any risk when the incident happened. If it wasn't for the exploit, Iron Finance would still be going strong (unless something else happened). The risk is always lurking, even in stable LPs. |
