Highschool is just there to give a basic eductation for everyone. It's not really meant to give a deep insight into specific topics. Also humans are very different from each other, everyone has different strength - some are good at art, sports, languages, physics or maths. I think the eductional system for teenagers is more to show them a broad variety of subjects so they can choose better what to study in college. And in college it's a lot about learning how to understand problems and find there solutions.
Now with internet and wikipedia it's very efficient to learn about something in a second.

Do you have any special skills like maybe programming or you speak multiple languages fluently? There are plenty of jobs you can do online but you should tell us a bit more about yourself to give a good recommendation here on the forum.

The only real free way to get bitcoins would be doing some faucets, but the payoff is so low and you need to factor in your time and internet/electricity costs that it's most of the time not worth it.

Maybe look into doing some online surveys? They are usually being paid for a small amount.

I think it's in humans nature to think about the past and have regret. We just can't help it, but we need to be stronger than that. There is no point in crying about lost investment opportunities. You can only learn from them and move on, trying not to do the same mistakes again. With hindsight it's fairly easy to judge bad investments, but looking at it with the information only available at that time is much more difficult.

So having bought 1 Pizza for a bitcoin in 2010 seems bad now, but same goes for investing in the IPO of Google, Amazon or Tesla and selling your stocks right after the IPO just making a few bucks. Or buying Lehman stocks in July 2008.

There will always be good inestment opportunities coming up.

One lesson should be not to sell all your crypto currencies in the first place.

Yeah winning all the time with a bot seems crazy. Why would someone give away his money making bot? Shouldn't casino just catch on to this and make their system fail proof? If everyone would be using the bot online the casino should be out of business in a few weeks.

In case you are too busy to gamble yourself bots could be an option to still gamble, but if you have better things to do. Why risk your money on a bot? I prefer to gamble myself, in case I lose it's my own fault. Otherwise I would become very angry at the bot.

The problem is also that air travels from abroad are still fairly limited, going by car seems fine and being in big casinos with a lot of space for social distancing it's alright. But being in an airplane for hours with plenty of people fairly close around doesn't seem so clever. Unforunately there is no distancing on air planes yet - I would definitely avoid flights as long as possible. I think some airlines even stopped completely to fly to Las Vegas during the pandemic. 

I agree, signing up new insurances at the moment seems rather difficult. If you work in an high risk area and want to do something good for your family a life insurance seems like a good deal. But for the average worker or unemployed due to the recession. I don't see any value in such insurances. You are better off saving the money you have at the moment outright. Let's say you or a family member becomes sick and you need money - the life insurance wouldn't help out since no one died yet. Better to have the money in your own pocket and you are free to choose how to spend it.

I don't really make much money online. If you count investing and gambling into your category than that the biggest factors for me.

Sometimes I sell old clothes or furniture which is quite valuable online, but only once every two years maybe. I am buying more online than making money

We will definitely feel the impacts of this crisis next year and if there will be another wave of corona, we will still be affected in 2022. But don't forget that this year is an election year. Normally during elections there will be more economic stimulus. I think the recovery from the corona crisis will be faster than than from the last financial crisis.

At a young age everyone tells you that it's forbidden to smoke cigarettes which brings a lot of teenager who want to rebel against society to it. And once you start smoking and get addicted it's very hard to stop again. For the guys it seems cool to smoke and for the girls it a way to lose some weight and avoid being hungry so much. Taxes on cigarettes should be much higher so less and less people smoke. 

I think there is a difference between not having banks and not having fiat currency. Even if the hole world would switch to crypto currencies we would still need financial institutions. Being able to borrow and lend money needs some form of managed. Sure on a small scale such things can happen via the internet on forums and such. But for a hole country not to rely on banks anymore.

The people here on the forum are able to work with a computers and have no problem on the internet. But for a lot of people that is not such easy. We should not forgot about the technology barriers for older people. In a few generations that should not be an issue anymore.

The stupidity of some people is unbelievable and that in 2020. Unfortunately there are also some trolls in this forum, just by reading through these replies here it's sad why some people are not excluded from this forum.

Who would fake all these videos from hospitals showing corona patients on ventilators all around the world. Says corona is fake is the highest form of ignorance.

Health would definitely choice number 1, money and wealth will come after time but if you don't have the health and your family around to enjoy your wealth, what does it matter?

The date on the package is the minimum required date to be fresh. Companies don't want to get sued over bad meat so they always will take some days before the meat actually expires.

If the color is still normal and it doesn't smell very bad you can still eat it.

One tip would be to just put in the freezer right after buying it, if it takes a few days for you to prepare it. In the freezer it can be stored much longer.

Working from home became the new normal in the last 4 month. Unfortunately there are still many jobs that can't be done from home and require for people to be in the factory or stores. Overall I think people adjusted fairly well into the "New Normal" but being isolated in the workplace and your social life is too much. Eventually we need to cut back on the restrictions. Reviving the economcy is a first step to a better live but we need to keep the social aspect in mind too. Human beings are herd animals, we survive only in highly coordinated groups. If being individually, we are designed to pick up social cues.

The bitcoin price during the next crisis is very hard to be predicted. I believe that the correlation is still very strong with other risky assets such as stocks. During the corona pandemic stocks didn't really suffer that such, same for the bitcoin price. If we see another wave of corona hitting the world harder than the first one, I would say that pretty much all asset classes would drop and we could see Bitcoins down to $5000-6000 again. But selling during those recessions was never a great idea. In the end prices rebound higher than before. Better to just hold.

Friendly Bump.

College is definitely worth it and if you don't want to spend so much money on your education maybe just move to another country. There are plenty of countries with a decent public education system not charging a fortune for degrees.

But even taking out a loan to spend a luxury car on your college degrees can be worth it. The starting salaries after university is much higher than without any higher education. 

Also, don't forget the great parties during 4 years of university.

It really depends on the timeline for the next super power to emerge. At the moment it's USA and I don't see that changing in the near future. But looking at the next 100 years I think we will see countries like China and India being among the top countries. The demographic trends will likely continue resulting in lower population number is almost all of the western countries. Japan for example is expected to lose half its population in the next 60-80 years.

There are no free bars, maybe you can enter for free but you will still have to pay for drinks one way or the other. Being a night out in a bar without spending any money doesn't seem very realistic. In a casino however the money is made through gambling, so offering free drinks is alright for the casino as they will earn their money back another way.
