For me, I truly believe that "life is a journey and not simply a destination" wherein we must experience and go through until the end, in order to truly find out what it means in order for us to really appreciate what a Happy Life is really all about.

Finally! We will have a way to go beyond the sun. We might even touch the dome. Grin

Great! Grin

Bottom line, how much will it cost for anyone to actually book a flight up there and when is the soonest possible time for anyone to actually do so?

I still to afraid to go on holliday due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Originally we made plans to go to Greece for 2 weeks, but I do not know what to do.

Shall I stay home and cancel my trip?

My rule of thumb, don't do it... if you have fears or any reservations about anything, or else, accept the consequences, in case you disregard following your gut feeling or instinct instead.

Definitely basketball, because of the fast-paced action based on skills, athleticism and strategic game plays against two opposing teams. Cool

Knowledge is power, sharing is another. But together, we learn from each other through experience, our differences of options, but ultimately regarding the wise judgement calls we've made as well.
yes we need to look for it, because there is also a lot of irrelevant information that will trap us in searching for knowledge. If we are really active in this forum a lot of useful information or useful threads that we need to learn.

To complete the information in this forum, searching for information outside the forum will also be useful.

I agree! Getting a hold of new information does take a lot of time indeed.

Consuming and processing information is just the start, validating all of these is the next step towards the right direction.

And ultimately, deciding on how to proceed from that point would spell the difference between success and failure, but it's still part of the process nonetheless.

A valid source of information and a center for cryptcurrency and other information is this forum.

If you seek it, you shall find.


The need for education as early as possible when joining this forum is very important, to direct people like this so it is not easy to be cheated. then depends on each individual, whether you want to learn or not.

This forum provides many benefits, not only in the form of rewards or money, but important information about future technology.

Knowledge is power, sharing is another. But together, we learn from each other through experience, our differences of options, but ultimately regarding the wise judgement calls we've made as well.

If all else fail, you've got to bring in the big guns... either watch the "Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan" (great show for dog lovers who need help), or contact him directly perhaps for his services. Cool
9  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Be careful of shitcoins on: July 05, 2020, 11:06:05 PM
I believe this could be helpful for some people here on this forum as I falled into shitcoin trap. I could not believe I can lose my whole fund in just a little time and I want to use this forum to advice the newbies to be careful of shitcoins. I hope you all know how dumped price can wreck the funds of people that invested in such coin.

The coin was METP, I invested at the price of $0.0004 some weeks ago, but the coin is now at $0.000002, I invested $100 and it has now vanished, I do not even have $1 remaining again and it was a lost that really depressed me.

Recently, I checked the price since when it was launched in 2019, it was $0.01245, it has been fallen since after even till now, if I has first analysed the coin, I will not not fall into the trap, but I have no idea about analyses at the time.

I will advice people to analyse market and the coin that want to be used to trade or invest before buying such coin because some coins are just existing to take away your money before it becomes fully dumped.

I applaud you for understanding that the value of something measured over time should be done in USD and not BTC.

It's like a classic tale of two Kings ruling between two empires. Inside cryptocurrency, BTC is King. But once you go outside crypto info fiat territory, USD is still the King nonetheless.
10  Other / Off-topic / Re: Don't regret about your past mistake & Don't go against common sense. on: July 05, 2020, 10:54:04 PM
One of the worst things people do in crypto is trying to chase their losses, be it with gambling or trading or investing. People who get scammed by ICOs instead of taking it as a lesson often double down and look for a mythical "good project" to recover from losses. Same with bounty hunters - they get worthless tokens over and over again, yet still believe they can get paid. It all comes from regret over past mistakes. Some people really need to learn how to learn from their mistakes instead of making some excuses.

I agree!

#1.) It's a bad habit to break, but you must break it nonetheless.
#2.) Learn from the past in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes all over again.
#3.) You won't succeed if you don't do anything different from what you've already done beforehand.
#4.) Moving forward, just try to repeat the positives and not repeat the negatives instead.

No one would disagree with all the notes in op. But i am really wondering on the reasons to create this topic. Op, do you want to remind us on how important the internet is? Do you really think this is an important subject for discussion?
I don't really like the idea that you are just looking for some additional merits.
Maybe you're right that op is only looking to earn some merits. Right before I know this forum and the day that there is no internet yet things are different compare to the time where the internet is created. This thread should be enough to remind people how it is important. This thread should be locked. I don't even see this topic helpful for crypto related discussions. I think it's a reminder instead.

A network, including post topics like these, truly has both a beginning and an end. Grin

Sadly it seems, even though it's important, it appears that we're slowly creeping into that situation.

But don't worry, there's always light at the end of the tunnel. And let this post serve as a simple reminder to everyone that a sense of purpose is a more meaningful reason for posting or commenting instead. Roll Eyes
12  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it possible to live without banks? on: July 02, 2020, 11:33:07 PM
With the world's economy collapsing, people are looking for alternative safe-haven assets to use in times of turmoil. Interest in crypto has sparked a lot ever since the stock market went on a decline. If people decide to use crypto, precious metals, and physical cash, will it be possible to live a normal life without a bank?

In my case, I'd be willing to exit the banking system in order to have true sovereignty over my money. After all, that's what crypto is all about. If you could live your normal life without the need to ever interact with a bank (having a bank account to make transactions, etc), it'll be a blast. With the world shifting towards the online realm for e-commerce, virtual meetings, and more, it seems likely that people will be using decentralized money more thoroughly. There are still people using credit/debit cards, but that may change soon as Fiat becomes hyper-inflated.

What are your thoughts? Huh

I believe that as long as a country will maintain a central bank to regulate and monitor existing banks within their country, banks are here to stay.

Moreover, banks may still continue to co-exist with cryptocurrencies as long as the traditional banking needs of the people aren't totally replaced by other options instead.

Coincidentally, unless the country itself would declare that they won't be needing a central bank anymore, I don't actually see that it's possible yet to live without banks, in the traditional sense of what a bank is currently defined.

That's it! Maybe, you could create the first Bitcoin Museum instead. Cool
14  Economy / Economics / Re: India-China border tensions on: July 02, 2020, 10:45:23 PM
The way the two countries are facing each other on the China-India border is creating a tense atmosphere. If the conflict escalates, I think it will have an impact on international trade and cryptocurrency, what do you think?

I don't quite think so. At least not yet, while the world is still experiencing a pandemic because it would be very difficult for any country to battle two fronts (COVID-19 and waging war towards another country). Right now, I believe that one country is just posturing and simply flexing its military muscle against the other, that's all.
15  Economy / Economics / Re: Financial Crisis Will Come on: July 02, 2020, 07:15:47 PM
Establishment commentators tend to blame every financial crisis on the "bad luck" of a whole host of factors coming together to create a "perfect storm."  What they "forget" is that the incentives of the modern system always drive the elites themselves to destabilize their own system.  Not sometimes.  Not most of the time.  Always.

                                                                                                                       --o--o--o--

So the long view reveals the truth.  And the truth is that you can't escape the perverse incentives that make individual members of the elites want to profit or prop up the system today by storing up even more trouble for future elites.  These incentives come directly from the system's core nature of theft and deception.

If we listen to mainstream economists, the reason for recurring crises is that, for some reason, people just want to keep losing money.  They keep chasing risky assets whose high values have nothing to do with being propped up by state-bank-elites.  Right.

This system also punishes prudent people who put the most trust in its promises and its official narratives.  But we have a long-term defense: buy gold, silver, and Bitcoin!

For what it's worth, more often than not history basically repeats itself. The graphs and charts of past events do not lie, and there are signs everywhere.  And as we always say here in crypto, those who had done their research will inevitably be in a better position to decide on any of their present and future financial investment plans.

Did you forget that, who gave you ideas about the Internet world? May I know about her?
I got idea from a brother about the internet world, But then it was not a complete idea and later I had to search hard.

and you? Huh


The Internet is everywhere nowadays, basically just depending on your age and immersion to the new technologies that happened recently.

It's an interactive upgrade to the traditional multimedia content options that we had previously i.e. newspaper, magazines, radio television, etc.

Moreover, it's an all in one package that even competed against other traditional forms of communication i.e. telephone, mobile phone, video phone, etc.

Also, it even became a valid option to compete against satellite land-based vehicle navigation technology i.e. buit-in vehicle navigation, mobile phone navigation, etc.

The only thing that's constant in this world is change.

Technically, the world keeps on changing and evolving as time goes by.

But because of the pandemic, a lot of people are somehow now mindful of a lot of things they've taken for granted in this world before COVID-19 happened. And as it continuously wreaks havoc, the whole world tries its very best at the moment to slow down its spread, while trying to find a cure and/or vaccine to hopefully contain and stop it altogether.

18  Other / Off-topic / Re: Which social media do you prefer? on: June 30, 2020, 09:14:35 PM
I want to see the most interesting ones

I'm active on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit amongst other social media sites that I'm somewhat trying out every now and then.
19  Other / Off-topic / Re: How do you stay positive in the midst of this pandemic? on: June 30, 2020, 09:10:12 PM
Good day everyone. I just wanna know how can you cope in this pandemic where many are losing jobs and our economy almost around the globe is surging downward.

I wish everyone is safe and thinking of possible ways to stay sane and go on with our lives.

Always be positive and try look for the brighter side of things in life.

In every situation, there's always something we can learn from, something that we could take advantage of, aside from the obvious negative impact that these unexpected problems may have done to us and to others as well.

More importantly, we must accept that we should learn to adapt and adjust to the new normal, we must not be overwhelmed by the pandemic and economic problems that's happening all around us, in order for us to move forward somehow.
20  Economy / Economics / Re: What if this pandemic persists till the end of the year? on: June 28, 2020, 08:13:12 PM
It's almost 6 months since the coronavirus took its toll on every aspect of human lives. it has been accompanied by widescale job loss, a rise in the unemployment rate, a reduced standard of living, and intense hardship. From the economic perspective, what will be the fate of the global economic situation and normal day to day business if this pandemic doesn't go away by the end of this year?

Different countries do have different timelines as to when COVID-19 has been recognized to have directly or indirectly affected its citizens.

More importantly, depending on how each country responded to the pandemic (for both medical and economic situations), including whether or not there'll be a cure and/or a vaccine to be discovered as soon as possible, these are just some the factors that will really determine how long this pandemic will last.
