1461  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Union bank nagdeploy na ng ATM machine na dollar bills on: August 18, 2023, 01:39:01 PM
Hindi masyadong malinaw ang detalye ng balita na yan , ang nakalagay lang naman doon ay para sa mga customers lang ito na may mga  US dollars account . So ibig sabihin nito ay yung mga may milyones na dolyares tapos kinagandahan nito ay walang withdrawal fees na siguradong ikakatuwa ng mga US dollars account holders. Bagay to sa mga pumapaldo na sa cryptocurrencies na tulad niyo na gustong mag-impok ng dolyares na pera.  Parang useless lang sa atin pero kung gaya ng mga balak magbakasyon sa ibang panig ng bansa magandang dito na agad kumuha ng dolyar para wala ng aberya pa kung sakaling magbalak man.
Mula na rin sa sinabi mo, hindi naman ito useless at hindi lamang para sa mga milyones na dollars. Ayon sa pagkakaintindi ko, ang main o malaking target ng project na ito ng Union Bank ay para sa mga madalas magpapalit ng pera tulad ng mga nagiibang bansa para mag trabaho o turista. Isa rin ay yung mga nagpapadala ng pera sa OFWs na ang currency ay dollar. Maganda na may mga ATM para dito dahil mapapansin na madalas ay mahaban ang pila sa banko at ilan sa mga nakapila ay mag papapalit lamang.
1462  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wrong way to accumulate. on: August 18, 2023, 12:59:57 PM
Short-term thinking is one of the wrong ways of accumulation to get rich quickly within the market has many new investors only thinking short term. And while the possibility of earning massive on a crypto investment, there is also the possibility of losing all funds to a bad investment move. Having a long-term investment plan/ mindset would help you choose your crypto investment more carefully and concentrate on picking high-quality projects with a long track record. Trying to get rich in just 90 days is a fast way of going broke but thinking about crypto investing as a multiyear process will help you build a more thoughtful crypto portfolio.

When you think about investing in cryptocurency with a multiyear timeframe, it'll help you with your choices of investment as you're not look for quick profits, but coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum and other quality project will be included in your portfolio and you'll be patience holding.

You'll also not be rushing to invest as you'll take your time to study the market very well before investing and you won't be investing by buying all the coins  immediately but instead you'll be accumulating slowly until you have reached your goals of investment into Bitcoin.

Short term thinking can lead you to losses more than it can lead you to profits when investing because when thinking of quick profits you'll be attracted to coins that are for short term and they'll not last in the market and all investors mightn't have the opportunity to make profits.
But we do know that not all does have the patience on holding for long term or time on which there would be those people who would really be preferring on seeing profits in a shorter time frame and this is the reason on why they would be definitely be engaging with some altcoins or even trying out to touch some meme coins for some possibility of quick profits and possibly that could earn tons of money in a short time but of course we do know that the risks is really that higher.

Accumulation would really be requiring that kind of determination specially when you are holding but initially on which it is really that needing that proper planning in terms of the money that you should only gonna spend.
Its true that there are people who are really just that impulsive or really that dont able to think up carefully in regards to this on which they are really doing such bad step or decision basing up on their accumulation.
Some do even make use of the amounts which are for emergency funds which it is really that too much or something that really in excess.

The temptation and attraction of earning faster or in a shorter period of time really drive people to invest in things like altcoins and meme coins. The attraction that fast-earning investments have brings people to forget about the risk that comes with it. We get too hyped over the idea of earning more profit in a short period of time that we forget about the possible negative outcomes the risk of it may cause. We forget that the greater the deal and benefit sounds the higher the risk it will cause.
1463  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you want to be great? Then be ready to learn. on: August 18, 2023, 12:28:27 PM
Not everyone have the mind to learn. Whenever you hear about something new we should understand what is behind it and analyse to know it better than coming to a conclusion on someone else words. This is the reality with most of the people, over time they've corrected themselves and are concentrating good on cryptocurrency investment.

Ignorance is a big problem, and after years thinks bad of missing opportunities. When it comes to bitcoin, there is nothing to worry because you'll get opportunities and we should be prepared enough to experience the best out of it.
Ignorance is indeed a terribly big problem. Learning about something new from friends, family, or acquaintances or reading about it online pushes our curiosity, something that I take as a good thing for us. However, it goes negative very quickly when we cure that curiosity by simply just listening to what others think of that phenomenon. Satisfying that curiosity on your own, by doing your own research and experiencing it for yourself is the safest and best way to introduce yourself to something. Learning on your own from facts and credible sources will always be better than learning from hearsay and opinionated statements. And that includes Bitcoin, something that a lot of people are getting more and more curious about.
1464  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you rather start/grow a business from scratch or buy an existing business? on: August 18, 2023, 12:03:08 PM
If you don't have any experience on business field the. Start from scratch so you would provably know what are important things that needed to take care with in a business.

But if you are well established businessman and can able to plant some on existing business then its good since you don't need to worry on how to market it because they already have establish their own brand. Its up to you on how can you maximize your bought  businesses so that it can generate you more money.

Both have their own pros and cons. But for me, it is best for someone that has no experience in the business field to just franchise an existing business. Franchising will let its potential partners undergo several trainings to teach them everything on how to run the business successfully. And in an existing business, there are already existing systems as well that save a lot of time and effort. Imagine looking for suppliers that are a little cheaper and at the same time its quality remains good. The workers will also be trained by the franchising company. This way, newbie businessmen take a shortcut and might have ample time to continue their jobs or do other stuff.
Thats one of the pro's when you are really that tending to make some franchise or getting one on which you would really be trained up on how things do or operating so even if we do say that you dont have experience or

beginner then you would really be definitely be able to handle or known it out on how to manage out your business even if you are just new but this is really that according into someones preference since not all would really
be liking on having that shortcut when it comes to business and would really be liking for them to start on their own and would really be able to adapt and learn up to handle from zero until they would really become experienced. So this would really be just depending on your personal choice since there are people who do prefer this and prefer that.

Growing up a business with your own or from scratch would really be giving out that advantage that you do know on how things works and moves unlike when you do buy a current existing then there would
really be needing a time for you to adapt and make things familiarize but well it isnt really just that much hard though because you wont really be that dumb on buying a current business without having
those kind of thinking and considerations before you do proceed.
I like this point a lot. This is also something that a lot of people overlook or forget. When you get a franchise it will feel like everything is being handed to you, like you are being spoonfed, like everything will always be presented to you and all you have to do is figure out what you will do with it. The ideas, equipment, the process, the system, (sometimes) the staff, the name and reputation of the business, and even the marketing straetgy will be taught and handed to you. It will be that easy, you will just have to figure out how you'll make the business grow from where it is currently at and even with that you'll get assistance.
1465  Economy / Economics / Re: It ain't meant to be easy on: August 18, 2023, 11:46:03 AM
I think it would be smarter to just focus on what you could do and how you could improve, otherwise you are not going to get any better at all. I realize that it is going to take some time, but if you could be better at what you are doing, then you are going to do a lot better by realizing the profits come with losses time to time. It's very crucial to make sure you are fine with both of them and can move on without trouble.
A very misconception about trading specially into those newbies or people who do really think off that crypto trading would really be the solution for them to make money without even trying out to realize thats not how it works or its never been that so simple. On the time that they do step their foot into the market then they would definitely be able to experience that bitter-sweet thing on which its not something that you could really be able to acquire out in terms of profitability if you arent really doing something good with your trading.In overall, living on this world is never been that easy or simple, you would be needing to work for you to sustain and survive on day to day living on which this could really be acquire on having some job and if you do have plans on having that no financial problems or simply be that financially that independent then of course it would really be just that normal that you would be finding ways and methods on which  you could really be able to earn more which is really that more than with your current job. Rinse and repeat and you'll find yourself in to
a situation or condition on which you wont really be that struggling in terms of finances which does basically means that living wont really be that a challenge at all.
It is that simple. Even outside the context of crypto, life is not easy. You have to work hard, you have to move, and you have to do something in order to gain something. You cannot just expect the world to grant you a reward without putting any effort into it. Moreover, it should be reminded that the fruit of our labor, our efforts, is not always positive. Sometimes, even by doing our best and giving our all to something we are still presented by negative outcomes. However, that should not be a reason to stop trying, as again (stated by OP) it ain't meant to be easy.
1466  Economy / Economics / Re: Bad economic situation makes bitcoins more difficult to keep. on: August 18, 2023, 11:30:45 AM
-snip-
People in countries with better economy, where there are good jobs and businesses are working, Bitcoins will easier hold than for people who are in places with terrible economic situation. What do you think?
Not everyone in poor countries suffers from poverty in terms of their standard of living and more have the opportunity to plan and make any investment including bitcoin. Likewise, not all residents of rich countries have decent jobs.

This is a matter of the individual economy, unless you are referring to a state of crisis in which case it can impact all the economic status of everyone in that country.
There will always be a division between poor and rich in all countries no matter what that country identifies as in economic context. To put it simply, I agree with you, not everyone who lives in a poor country has a poor lifestyle, and not everyone who lives in a rich country has a better economic status and standard of living. Hence, the area or location wouldn't matter as much as the individual situation of a person on wether or not they will be able to hold Bitcoin and invest.
1467  Economy / Economics / Re: The gloomy light called subsidy. on: August 18, 2023, 11:13:45 AM
The big question is, can such a move save an economy that is already in shambles?

This is my point exactly. These people are only making matters worst for the citizens of their country. They won't put the money saved to good use. Instead, they just mismanaged these funds even further. The excuse that they can no longer pay for subsidies is trash. They are just looking for excuses to stop paying.

What's the point of stopping subsidies if everything in the country would become so expensive and increase inflation even further? Most of these politicians don't suffer the policies they make so they go about making any kind of policies they want.
Agreed, most of the politicians and the rich won't suffer any difficulty out of this. So, without proper understanding about the common man's life they just lift the subsidy provided to the suffering people. This shouldn't be done and surely those funds could've been redirected for something else that's unnecessary.

Really these subsidies play a major role in common people's life. In my region fishing is done and for the same fishermen were provided with subsidy on fuel for the boat, at times it looks like whats the need for subsidy. In reality the income varies depending on the season and by those days this used to be a big favour.
I'm sure it depends on each country and how the government handles the system of giving subsidies to the people, but this aspect can either be really good or cause bad effects on the general public. In my country, it has two contrasting effects. First, the positive one, is the people are able to use subsidies to allow them to have a better lifestyle (support for education, business, food, and daily needs). The negative one, on the other hand, pushes people to either be too reliant on these subsidies that they do not even work anymore or use the money for negative things (gambling, buying drugs).
1468  Economy / Economics / Re: How to developed your capital on: August 18, 2023, 03:30:41 AM
Snip

Health is important but if you don't have money, how do you maintain your health? You want clean food, nutritious food, a healthy living environment, or using organic products…how can you get those things if you don't have money? So all need to be balanced, you can't torture your health to overwork, but you also can't be lazy for fear of affecting your health.

Not only for retirement, but if anyone wants to get rich, saving and investing are always the most important and necessary things. I have never seen anyone get rich without any savings or investments, a hired job will never make anyone rich.
Health and money are equally important in life. When a person is healthy but has no money, his life is very difficult to organize. Vice versa, someone who has a lot of money but is not healthy, cannot enjoy the money that has been collected so far. A person must be in good health when he wants to raise money, but without money it will be difficult to live a healthy lifestyle by consuming nutritious food. Both must complement each other, money is easier to find when you are in good health.

Agree, a rental job never made anyone rich without some savings or investments. Old age will be guaranteed if you have savings or investments to finance all your needs when you are unable to work normally.

Honestly, I find the importance of money the most important nowadays because when we have money we will get many things. I wonder how health will be guaranteed if we don't have money to eat clean food or if we have an accident and need a lot of money for surgery. If we don't have money, what will we do? Besides, when we are young, we should exchange our health for money because if we only know how to maintain our health but are lazy to work when we are old, we will see the harm of not having money. When you earn a lot of money, you just need to enjoy it when you get old and don't need to work, and that's called money can buy health.
In contrast with that, how will we be able to gain money if we don't work? How can we work efficiently if we are not healthy? Health and wealth are interconnected things, if you don't have one then the other one will surely be gone as well. They are both equally important. You need money to maintain your health and you need to be healthy to ensure that you are well enough (physically, mentally, cognitively, and emotionally) to work to gain the money you need.
1469  Economy / Economics / Re: Elon Musk and the fall of Twitter on: August 18, 2023, 01:17:16 AM
You have a point because there is new management on it, so for sure having to change its name and branding is a possibility because the original owner is not there anymore, and those people who invest to earn big on it have a responsibility to change it on whatever they want too. Also, I don't see people laving Twitter ber like the purpose is the same ,but correc m e if i am wrnng as i am not reall into Ttwiteer as i a into Facacebook but you ar righ right functions are there and stil what Twitttwitter before is still the same riht nowow so i don't really understand why.
Behind the change of name there used to be some reason and the same won't be exposed in the short time. Over time people will come to know or the real reason behind the new name. For now it looks like it is his tag letter, because almost everything he owns have got a X. Earlier it is the SpaceX and now Twitter getting rebranded to "X" which could make changes.
I'm sure there is a reason for the rebranding of the name and specifically using X. Twitter or X, is still the same platform with some changes that the developers and its current owner believe to make user experience the best. Explanation as to why it is X does not have to be a big deal as it still remains to be the social media platform people use to connect. In fact, I agree with both of you about it not being a big deal. X or Twitter, it will still be used by many and it will not be the sole cause as to why the platform will (possibly) fall one day.
1470  Economy / Economics / Re: Would You Consider Adding Bitcoin to Your Retirement Savings on: August 18, 2023, 12:59:56 AM
As a bitcoin supporter, would you consider adding bitcoin to your retirement savings, or do you prefer the traditional 401(K) or IRA? If yes, to what degree? 100%, 75 %, 50%? Also, do you think that accepting bitcoin into your retirement savings account is a form of the DCA method?

I don't know about the traditional 401(K) or IRA but Bitcoin is naturally big part of my retirement saving. I guess the perception changes based on the location.
I'm surprised by some of the answers here. This is 2023, Bitcoin already prove itself. Anybody who didn't put Bitcoin to their savings plan already lost big opportunity but it's not too late. Open a cold wallet and start saving today. Whether it's $10 or 1k worth of BTC, it will add up in the long run.
I agree. I mean just by being here we can already state and claim that Bitcoin has already proved itself to a lot of people. I mean we are already technically a community that invests in Bitcoin and that is for a reason. Hence, it should already be a given that Bitcoin will be included in our retirement plans for saving up, along with other investments. Essentially, having BTC for retirement savings does not necessarily mean that is the only source of income you will depend on once you retired, instead it will be one of many.
1471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What you will do? on: August 17, 2023, 11:59:13 PM
When my bets were on loss, the bet value keeps increasing. This is kind of thinking in my mind, need to recover what have been lost or end gambling for the day. In such a way to recover mere $50 I've lost $500 and all. This is really foolish and while gambling we don't understand. After the funds gets emptied, I used to think if I had stopped at the initial loss what could've been the result is just the loss of $50. One should not do this and this is really foolish attitude.

It's like wired in our brain that after a series of losses and bad beats, we are bound to win, and with that we should bet huge amounts. I get that line of thinking too, sometimes, although I manage to control my emotions and not give in to the temptation and chase the losses. Self-control is a skill and talent that gamblers often lose in the heat of the gambling session. It's something that every gambler must have in order to not lose money in the long run.
1472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do anyone have done this? with gambling platforms on: August 17, 2023, 11:51:48 PM
`


Well, the debate is interesting, because I had not thought that one as a player has the right to win a certain part, and not a large part, that limits a lot, in fact I have that doubt, because if I enter a casino I can win the amount whatever, within the possibilities it is, in fact if a casino limits that option it is very badly done and it is not something reliable, so I think that nlso casinos do not limit the fact that one can win more than what is believed, in In this sense, if a casino applies that, it seems dishonest to me, and they would be new casinos or with many options of being scams, in the case of nominal, reliable casinos because they are highly renowned in the forum, I consider that if pse can win whatever As long as you are lucky, it is allowed.

Now, when playing with a very small balance, if I see that the chances of winning large amounts are somewhat difficult, but it is difficult and not impossible and obviously it is allowed to do so, whoever says no, I think they are very wrong. , however, with a balance of 10USD you can even win 400usd in a slot machine, and I say this because it has happened to me, so it is allowed, now to take it to great profits, that is to say to balances that are above the $10k if I see it difficult, because it is something that requires a lot of patience, knowing how to play, the truth is that I see it as complicated, although there are people who are experts in slots, because they play very regularly.

Not only in slots, but also in other games, such as dice, there are great chances of winning in doatoss because there are many things that can be done, some win with the most dangerous strategy for me, which is the martingale , others apply multipliers and hit the jackpot, increasing their balance in an incredible way, others with crash, with Black Jack, but that is with a good stroke of luck and with a lot of daring.

Really, casinos, which are built on people's dreams and wishes, will let you walk in and grab as much money as you want? Its hilariously naive. Casinos have always exploited our innate flaws, not to award lucky people like you enormous winnings.

My friend, dopamine matters. Every victory, flashing light, and prize sound is designed to attract your attention and make you desire more. Like millions before you, you believe the fairy tale that you can make a lot of money from little.

Martingales and multipliers are plans and methods. Remember that the house always wins. These are clues in a maze that hold you in hope and fear.


Casinos are specifically designed to make you hooked with the games that they offer. They will get every penny that they can from you and will have no remorse in doing so. They might throw you some bone every now and then, but that bone, they will surely take again and then some. Those who have won huge amounts from casinos and quit are the true winners, and they are very few and far in between.

Red Bull came with a car that was a little faster than their usual self, which I was a bit shocked considering I thought they were focusing on next seasons car already and even a bit 2026 I am sure, but the fact that they improved on already the best car means that they will keep the title. This isn't good news, it's always fun to see new teams get better, and the fact that there aren't that many improvements reported means it's going to be a bit boring.

Any improvements on the current iteration of Red Bull's car is like a mockery against other teams. They have the best car across the board, across all races, and yet they continued to push with the car that helped them win many races. At this point, we don't know how good their car would be for the next season if this current season's car still has some room for improvements. Even if McLaren, Ferrari, or Mercedes get lots of improvements with their cars, i don't think it can still come close with Red Bull's.

So many games in Dota 2 section but I had no idea the TI qualifiers will begin today. Funny or not , what is Execration doing here ? We learned from them that they are not capable to play high tier Dota if they play outside SEA. They had 3 majors runs this year and all of them were a failure Sad  because besides Talon , SEA teams are really having a hard time to play Dota. Same goes for CHINA region , who top players and team are playing into SEA pubs because CHINA dota is maybe in the lowest rate of players.

Everyone in the region is really failing to post impressive results on their recent runs. The Chinese teams and powerhouses are also failing to finish on top of the placements. I’m really curious as to how far would Chinese and SEA teams go in this year’s TI. If we are to follow the ‘pattern’ in the TI championship, it should be the Chinese who should win this year’s most prestigious Dota 2 tournament. But with the current state of Chinese dota, I guess we’re far from it.

Back then, I gamble because I don't have nothing else to do on the weekends and I have some extra money to burn weekly for my entertainment and leisure. I'm not the type of person who indulges in shopping, expensive hobbies, or social gatherings, and thus I see gambling as a means of 'entertaining' my self by playing with my chances and numbers on the screen. I never won anything significant over the course of my weekly gambling habit, but it sure helped me kill lots of hours before I need to function again. I don't need to win, though it would be a nice thing to have honestly.

Dapat updated ka at sinusundan mo yung progress at development para hindi ka maiwanan sa lugawan pag may biglang spike or biglang dump.
Ganito naman talaga dapat pero aminin natin na hindi lahat ng nag-iinvest sa crypto ay may kusang maglaan ng panahon para alamin kung ano yung pinapasok nila. Dahil kadalasan, ang pagiging hype ng isang coin ang nagbibigay sa kanila ng interes para subukang mag invest kahit walang knowledge tungkol dito. Isang pagkakamali na saka lamang nila ma realize kapag nawalan na sila ng pera dahil sa maling desisyon.
May point ka dito. Madami sa ating mga kababayan ang masyadong na a-attract sa hype o "trend" na nababasa nila madalas online na nagsasabi na kikita sila ng pera sa crypto. Kaya naman kahit wala silang background o kahit anong kaalaman dito ay papasukin nila ito. Hindi rin naman natin sila masisisi lalo na sa panahon ngayon na halos lahat ay nagigipit sa pagtaas ng presyo ng mga bilihin sa bansa. Ang magagawa nalang natin ay mag paalala na mas mabuti pa rin na may alam at naiintindihan ng buo ang risks at rewards sa system ng cyrpto lalo na sa mga taong kakilala natin na interesado sa crypto.

I think with trading they will be a provision of food in our table, when we understand the rules and regulations of Bitcoin, I don't know if this my concept can make a provision of food through Bitcoin. But I'm well convinced that with this my views over Bitcoin investment and trading it will provide or sustain human, if profit are been made. I know that Bitcoin should not be dependent on, and we suppose to make Bitcoin our side hustle but with seriousness on Bitcoin investment and trading, we can achieve a success.
It could be not like that even if you learn it. Because in trading, there are sellers and buyers in one system, in this case, there will be advantages and disadvantages if there is a trade. So if there are food in your table, on the other hand, there is an empty table for people who have suffered a loss. So, you also have to think about humanity on how to minimalizing empty food on other people. We certainly hope everyone who invests in Bitcoin will get a profit but in fact, not all people (100%) got the benefit, there will definitely be a loss where buying your bitcoin on ATH.
The point is, you cannot rely solely on Bitcoin for your annual budget, especially for food. It is unstable and too much of a risk to do. As you stated, not everyone can get profit, at most not the same amount, and with inflation still around and being heavily felt by the majority of the world, it is very risky and wreckless to depend on Bitcoin for food budgets. Because imagine this, you rely on Bitcoin to provide money for your daily food and something tragic happens and you are not able to gain profit, the exchange became too low and it is not enough to buy food for everyone in your family, what happens next? Where will you get food?
1478  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How safe are physical exchanges in your neighborhood. on: August 17, 2023, 11:58:34 AM
I believe  the topic speaks volume for itself as it is already self explanatory.
This question was born out of a real life experience  where a petty trader was publicly  harassed by some uniformed security  personnels claiming  to be some police  officers and after some investigations the security  personnels claimed that the woman aided some criminal  activities  as well as some internet fraud simply because she made her private exchanges public and the government as some point also frowns  at the use of bitcoin  in my country.

Now my worries is that, this singular act has driven alot of fear to some low key bitcoin holders in my neighborhood  even myself and there are shops I hope in town that operate physical  exchanges.

~Do you think those dealers are safe?
~And what's the fate  of physical  cryptocurrency exchanges(r) in your country?

Let's  discuss
Personally I never used physical locations to buy bitcoin and to be honest I don't think I would ever do it simply because it means that whoever is there in that moment will know you own some crypto. Maybe you bought $10, maybe you bought 1 bitcoin, who knows, in any case others don't know and they may think you own a lot of bitcoin so, government aside, there is also a personal safety issue.
I agree with you and I am the same. I am very uninterested in physical exchanges or any personal transaction regarding crypto. Not only is it unsafe for me, it is also unsafe for the one I am transacting with. Moreover, it is very hard to trust people especially when it comes to financial transactions. I would rather do everything online where I have the means to stay under the radar and keep my identity hidden by being as anonymous as I can. There is still risk doing that but not as much as doing physical transactions and exchanges.

Monetary problems, of course not everyone knows, those who have received economics lessons at school or college will understand monetary, the monetary crisis that has occurred in my country and even occurred throughout the world is a complicated problem that is not easy to solve, we as people who actively working, of course, you must always be vigilant with monetary matters, and of course, continue to look for sources of income so you can survive.
The information that you can find at schools related to the economy is terribly biased, many economists and those in power do not even learn about the role that gold played for thousands of years, as if fiat currencies have always been the dominant currencies and not an experiment that has been around since the seventies, it is because of this that economists do not understand bitcoin either and why they want to change it to resemble fiat currencies as that is the only system they know.
I agree with you on this. It is heavily noticeable how various economic textbooks are either just being revised or copied over the years. The ideas are all the same despite the obvious changes and innovations that took and are taking place. It is the way economists are all stuck with their ideas and are too comfortable with what they already know that hinders changes. I mean think of it this way, many individuals' knowledge about the economy is from textbooks and articles that are produced and written by these said economists hence these individuals are also just being stuck with the same ideas and beliefs.

Study mentioned was done in Chennai, I'd say Indian homes are least conducive for work. Here is similar study [1] done in Netherlands, results are opposite. Point being, such survey results are only good for that particular part where they are done, and should not be used to judge broadly.

Thank you for the source. This is what I mean by stating that it depends on various factors. This example shows how economic status and the environment of the place affect productivity whether it be at home or on-site. The study that was mentioned's scope is far too closed off to conclude that everyone have the same experience. Different country, different financial capacity, different environment, and different attitude of individuals needs to be considered in this type of research as well as the study's scope before a conclusion is made.
