It really has multiple reasons. In my opinion, the growing rate of suicide is not only due to material things, like most of the answers on this thread, the emotional baggage of a person weighs them down to their finality. A person can have the best family, a nice circle of friends, loads of money, and a life never painted with hardships, yet still feel like the world is not a place to find happiness anymore. With just a single snap of emotions, even without a reason why they feel so tired and empty, a person can easily decide that it's time to say goodbye and close their eyes for good.

I do agree that in order to gain an 'award,' it should be by having to work hard and spend time on gaining it. I also find your former post really helpful since I'm a newbie myself and is still exploring this world that I joined a few months ago. Also, about deleting the old posts, I also agree with this. It's not about forgetting what you did in the past, it's about wanting to change it so that you will further improve yourself. Much like in applying for a new job, you would want to make a very good impression, so you would want to cover up all the flaws, but also highlighting the good qualities that you have. Also, it's like when you have a few or maybe a lot of mistakes, but you also have some good ones, the only things that others would see are the bad ones and would ignore all the goods you had, so it's better if they focus on the good/quality things you can offer instead of the bad.

For your first task, which is to come up with an idea to promote bitcoin as a newbie, I think the most common way is to use platforms such as facebook or twitter, the truth is that I do know bitcoin existed since way back then, but I didn't paid any attention due to lack of knowledge and maybe, interest, but an acquaintance of mine introduced me to this forum just a while ago and told me all about the benefits of bitcoin. Through his guidance, I was also able to introduce bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to my other group of friends and we made a group chat and one of its purpose is to share some information with each other. Some of the members there are already members with knowledge about bitcoin and most are also newbies like me which wants to learn more about how this forum and how bitcoin works. Also, I think I'm making this too long so I'll also list some of my other ideas;

1. Create a blog/vlog about bitcoin and post in on big websites.
2. Use bitcoin as a topic in school.
3. Read more so that I can share more.

For the second task, I wouldn't say that I came here just to learn. My primary goal is actually to earn, since that acquaintance of mine actually introduced this forum to me as a means of earning through campaigns, but he never fails to remind me that I wouldn't earn just by posting, because posting nonsense without any substance will not make me earn, and I do believe that if I really wanted to gain something, I have to work hard for it. That's why I post so slowly and even stopped posting for a while. Even though I joined for some time now, I still have few posts and that is because I wanted to learn more and stop posting on just the off-topic section and try to join the discussions in the Economics and Bitcoin parts.

I hope this wasn't too long.

I do agree with your statement that people do find ways to gain and survive, and because money is the key to access needs such as food, shelter and clothing, people will do everything they could to ear money. Back then, gaining bitcoin through mining was more of a challenge along with the hopes of gaining something big from it one day, and that day came when the price of bitcoin surged to huge amounts today. In my opinion, spending time and effort to gain bitcoin is rational, and since people earn from it, it couldn't be a waste of time.

It is true that some countries do ban bitcoin due to fear of financial harm and the idea of cryptocurrency overtaking banks, but then there is profit and convinience in bitcoin so the government can't completely ban bitcoin. Also, people are very strong willed, they will do whatever it takes to earn and gain profit. The government can't stop its citizens too easily. Moreover, it is already stated that bitcoin is not under any government or private sector, so they technically can't touch it with ease.

I think they invest in gold and precious metals because it is a physical object that they can hold and store where they could see them. The feeling of actually holding something and knowing that it worths a lot could help them feel secured about their wealth. Unlike in cryptocurrencies which is virtual and that they couldn't physically touch it. Also, I do agree that because technology is new to them, they wouldn't trust it easily and invest their money and time in it immediately, so they stick with the old ways and beliefs about how and where they will invest their money.

My most unforgettable moments that I felt each second too fast is whenever I spend time with my family and friends. I never really take pictures or go on the phone whenever we have quality time because I want to spend the moment and time with them, but really, time flies so fast when you are having fun and with someone you love.

If we go back in time, the idea of paper money only existed at the start of 1690. At the time before that, metal things, seashells, and even trading were the first forms of currency to the people. But what really is money? Before, it was never really a primary need. Food, shelter, and clothing were all that matters. They don't need money to buy stuff because they make and grow their own food, build their own house, and sew their own clothes. The concept of money did change the world in a way that it almost becomes a primary need because without it, the three prior needs becomes out of reach. So, life without money in the near future is almost nearly impossible because the world relies on it as a form of wealth and a means to buy what is necessary for them to survive.

Well, if you can't use your phone then you could try some reading books or watching on the television, but if you're not into that there are several options like drawing, eating, go out, or even hanging out with somebody.

We have the same fate. I also wanted to become a doctor. Though it really did change through the years. I also wanted to become a lawyer, a teacher, an artist, an actress, a movie director, a writer, or a chef. I basically wanted a lot of professions, but then here I am now in engineering, in which I don't even know that it existed until I was like 15.

I do like watching on youtube when I want to relax and I mostly watch funny videos by some mainstream youtubers like PewDiePie and Liza Koshy. For beauty gurus, I do like Simply Nailogical and Tati. But a few months back I also do watch Ryan Higa then I stopped because I found those four other youtubers and he only uploads after a span of time, but he was really the one that got me to like youtube.

In my opinion, believing that there is a god and then when you die, there isn't actually one is worse. The feeling of betrayal and disappointment is very painful. Also, we can't blame a person if their principle is 'to see is to believe.' Meanwhile, having to not believe and then there is actually a God will actually bring surprise and maybe a chance to repent about not believing and having faith that there is a God.

Depression is a very complex term. Sometimes it can actually be a very severe mental illness that could only be helped with medicine. But being in a depressed mood really does have a lot of reasons. Though I think the main reasons for having depression is rejection from society and feeling little and small about yourself. When these two things happen I do think people become sad to an extent that they feel depressed.

I do think that if we look at the definition of sports, it really does say that sports involves physical exertion, but it also states that sports is a form of entertainment and fun, and video games do entertain people so I have to say that I agree on considering video games as a sport.

We do have the same trust issue about online shopping. Though like others say it is the best choice for people who has no time to go out or even for the people who has trouble with face-to-face interaction. But then again some items online presented in a picture does not look any much like the real object. Some items also breaks easier than the ones bought in malls and stores because we can't actually test and know the quality of an item until after we get it in the mail. Although we can still assure some good quality items if the seller is an actual brand that just ventured in online selling. Nevertheless, I still do prefer shopping in physical stores rather than online because it's hard to tell when an item is actually good or bad, or if the seller is actually legit or not.

There are a lot of genre nowadays, but I do prefer the horror or gore ones since I do not have the guts to actually watch it so I just read it via manga. My favorite one is Dead Tube, though it is still on-going. When I get actually scared I read romance ones and my favorite in that category would be Black Bird.

I try to immerse myself in online games like Mobile Legends and Food Fantasy whenever I'm stressed. I also watch some funny videos or some vlogs. Though when there is no internet, I just try to draw some anime characters or maybe even write some poems or stories. Doodling also helps a lot in relieving some stress.
