Whoa! Stereotyping much? Not all girls are bitwhores, OKKK??

This might be the quote of the year! ( 2014 )  Grin

I have 4 KNC miners + a cute butterfly on the way (hopefully 2, they haven't arrived yet).
Please be a bit more welcoming to girls, with this sort of harsh stereotyping going on it's no wonder I can't find any girls on here.

This is very true ^^ . Most girls control the purse strings so ya ....girls should be more involved in BTC!

Thanks bbit! There should be an award for that me thinks Smiley

Hii!
Just wondering if there are any fellow girls on here who are into Bitcoin mining, trading, etc. It seems it's mainly guys. We are roughly 50% of the population of this planet yet I can't find any girls who are into Bitcoins, anywhere.

Everytime I try to mention Bitcoins while hanging out with girlfriends they always look confused and change the subject, yet they're not "dumb girls", they've been to Uni, spend a lot of time online, have paypal acc's, online banking, etc. Why are they so reluctant to hear about Bitcoins?

WTF OMG A GIRL!!??

Um are you being sarcastic? Smiley

I am not only holding my btc, but also mine them using cloud mining, and I started buying more since the price is very low. I believe that the price will sky rocket once bitcoin get international recognition and more people start using it. This will take time, maybe 10 years, but it will happen and when it does we (the first investors) will be the richest people.  Wink

If it is going to take 10 years to become the "new wealthy elite, gentlemen," then those of us aspiring for such status better have some decent will power and patience to be able to hold onto our coins for such an extended span of time.

These things tend to happen gradually. It will not take 10 years.

2-3 years TOPS, probably more like 1 year.

I think that is a reasonable amount of time to wait to be rich Smiley

Also gives you time to stock up on as many BTC as possible Smiley


Why do you guys want to be super rich so badly? What's the big deal? This is a serious question, could you guys answer why you want to be part of a wealthy elite? Don't you know the cons of being rich?




I know several of the cons about being NOT rich... for example having to work and having to pay bills and having to spend a lot of time engaged in trivial tasks that I would prefer to contract out.... and NOT having as much time or money to engage in some activities that I would prefer.


Yes in an ideal world there's no money worries and we all do whatever we want with our time. But I meant there's a difference between being rich and being comfortable. Comfortable is an acceptable wish, having not many worries, and a bit of fun here and there, a bit of travelling maybe, enough to treat yourself to something you like, etc, but RICH is a bit greedy, anyone who dreams and wishes for more than a couple of million is a PR!ck in my opinion, if you ask people everyone wants to win the lottery like 20 million, 50 million, what For?Huh





Sounds as if you are lumping too many situations together and being overly judgmental about the desires of some people.

 Every person's level of comfort will be different.  Surely with about $1million or $2million, you can generate a fairly decent passive income from that ($3k to $6k per month); however, with $5million to $10 million the passive income will be even greater ($15k to $30k per month).   Some of us could be completely happy with a passive income of $3k per month; however, I would be more content with around $6k to $10k per month - and surely, I would likely be even more content with a bit more than $10k per month. 

Some would call $10k per month rich and some would NOT, and some would call $3k per month rich - especially if gotten from passive income.

$20 million to $50million would generate about $60k to $150k of income per month, and I agree that would be much more than what a lot of people would need to be happy - however, if a person had that kind of money, I am fairly certain that s/he would be able to figure out ways to spend it in order to strive towards increasing happiness... It is also possible that in the end, the person will NOT be any more happy with $50 million than s/he would have been with $5million... in other words, there may be a point of diminishing returns, yet that point of diminishing returns is likely going to differ from person to person.



Nah I wasn't being judgemental at all. I meant that after having the basics and a bit more for a few extras, everyone should be happy enough. Of course a few more extras would be nice. But I think there's a tipping point where too many extras could actually work against you. That's all I was saying.

But you guys still haven't answered my question..if you want to be rich, What's your main motive? (Apart from being able to have more fun and work less)
Are you trying to impress girls? Impress colleagues? Family members? Get confirmation you're not bad at business? Which one is it?? Is it something else??


To me, it sounds as if you are judging people to suggest that they should be happy to merely add a little bit to their comforts.

You have already granted that having a goal to work less and to have more fun are valid life goals, yet nonetheless, you add additional questions to suggest that people are striving for more.. such as to impress others.... In fact the impression of others will automatically come from the fact that a person is able to leave the rat race ... to work less and to have more fun.  What else is needed?  Two very valid goals.


I know, those two are absolutely valid.
The additional questions are there cause I'm curious. Some of the guys on here come across a bit greedy. So I was wondering what their motives are. Not judging anyone, just genuinely curious.

I make around $60K a year and I consider myself rich; I have everything that I need, I can travel, buy stuff that I like, live in a nice house in a neighbourhood I'm in love with, save a decent amount and even waste money from time to time (especially when I'm drunk, and start buying drinks, which lead to expensive champagne...).

I'm a real advocate of the fact that money doesn't buy happiness, especially after a certain amount. Once you are comfortable, happiness comes from inside. Most people today, in this money-driven society, believe that happiness can be achieved with material things solely; the vast majority of these people will never feel they have enough.

It's not my wish to be super rich, but I'm not stupid either; I own a couple of bitcoins and I constantly work on developing skills for my career, which bring more income every year. I just think of money as one more thing. Happiness consists of multiple factors, and money is just one of them. Nothing more than that.





Yep, I agree and it's so good that you really appreciate what you have. It's "filthy rich" that bothers me, you know, the greedy types who want to be richer and richer and even when they are they never feel they have enough.

Are you sure it was just that? Half of your posts come across as trolling, so it wouldn't surprise me if you were banned from other forums.

That's the thing, see. If people don't like something that I write because of cognitive dissonance, they immediately repeat "troll! Omg please ban him, he's nearly convincing me that my views on a certain idea are false, therefore I must write "Troll" everywhere!"

do you even know that "trolling" is? Hint: It's not an internet argument

For the firs time ever I agree with awesome31312 on something. He does come across as trolling quite a bit but he's got a valid point this time.

Lol yes but there are two other girls here so far. I wish the girls who are hiding (if any) would come out and post in this thread. It would be pretty sad if there were only 3 of us in this whole forum.

So, may us know something about you? Where do you from, how old are you? Post a picture  Smiley Are you american?

I guess this thread belongs to the off-topic board.

I'm pretty sure there is a separate thread for that already.

Sure, I was thinking the same thing about demographics, how old is everyone on here? I think there's a separate thread for that, I'm not sure. I think the other 2 girls on here were around the same age as me (in their 20s or early 30's). I don't think btc appeals to women older than that, not just yet anyway but I may be wrong. It's nice to see a variety of nationalities on here too, I've lived in the UK for many years but my family are Swiss/Italian, hence my name Smiley I think most people on here are not American from what I can see.

I don't care for being super rich. I don't want to have a mansion or maids or anything stupid like that. I just want to have enough to be able to live comfortably and do cool things like travel the world and see exotic places. It would be nice to be able to take an extended vacation. Most people in america cannot afford such luxuries.

Totally agree with you, that's a good wish to have. It's just when people on here talk about being a billionaire elite it really bothers me, it's a stupid wish to have, that much money would bring a lot of problems and worries, and kill any chance of real happiness and peace of mind imho.

The cons of being rich?
Nope, that is a new concept for me.  Grin

The richer you are the more you have to worry about losing it all, it takes a lot more time to keep an eye on things, if you can't do it all you're gonna have to trust people and worry they're not stealing from you behind your back, also being rich sadly attracts people who only like you for that, it's difficult to tell who actually likes you and who are your real friends. Enough cons? Of course being poor is horrible, but there's a middle ground in between, who are probably the happiest people in this planet, why not wish for that?

I suppose you mean there are two kinds of people, those who are meant to be rich, and those who are meant to produce the riches for them, and you are happy to be in the last mentioned group.



It's not as black and white as that is it? Plenty of people in the middle I think.

Not hound but there's no harm in networking and saying hi to people, ask questions, etc.
Anyway, I'm sure you're not the only anti-social person here Wink

Ps. Long distance? How? I'm sure there are girls here from all over the world including your city, wherever that is.

I am concerned that over 20 people saying "HI" can add up to something like this. It is attention you don't always want.


Loved the video, but what is that girl complaining about??? Wtf?? I wish guys here in the UK were more like that (maybe not walking next to me for five minutes like that guy did, that would freak me out). But seriously, getting ignored by EVERY guy is horrible too, it kills my self-esteem every time. The prettier you are the more they ignore you over here, it's like an unwritten rule in Britain. No wonder some girls in America have huge self-esteem even if they're not pretty. Come on British guys you can do better. And to all American guys out there, please don't change! Compliments are good, it's a shame some bitter girls cant appreciate that.

This has nothing to do with you being the only girl on here.
