1201  Economy / Economics / Re: When will we stop living for the weekend? Escaping the 9-5 life. on: May 30, 2023, 03:16:48 AM
I dislike working as officer in some location that I wouldn't normally go. I think this life creates unhappy people. I always treated Bitcoin as a way to leave this kind of life. My main purpose in life was always to liberate myself from full time work as soon as possible. Now I spent 6 years of my life working. When I turn and look back I see that only time I was bit happy was covid days when I was paid without working. I learned importance of generating money in life so I can only do things that I always wanted to. Only tiny minority hits this goal. I wish I was part of them.
you are lucky you are being paid for the leave days.
otherwise people lost their jobs and were helpless to the end of the day they were very upset for earning their livelihood

People who have paid leave really lucky employees as they have that privilege, unlike us, who have no work and no pay, so even if we are sick, we still continue to work because if we don't, we don't have money for our needs and for our family. Also, every time there is a holiday in the country, almost all the people I've known are very happy about it because they are paid on it, and like us, we are sad because we are forced not to go to work as it is a holiday and it means that we don't have pay on that day.
That is correct and not everyone is not previliged to
be the one to get paid leaves - If you are one who are who is the blessed one be grateful to the God and be happy to be choosen one!

Even others don't have a job, so i think wether you have paid leaves or not, as long as you have a job, be thankful as others dreamt of your job. It is just sometimes mental exhausting, like saying it is very unfair that others have paid leaves and you haven't, but still, it is the best time to rest because if that is not paid, then for sure you'll work, and that could lead to you working even sicker and you could be worse.

3. Can Gain Huge Returs : I have also shared that you can make huge profits by buying and holding it. But you have to buy when it's price is cheap and it's very easy to use. You just need to have an internet connection only which may be a limitations too. I also told about it's volatility but assured them if you buy at cheap at the end of the day you will win surely.




Am I the only one that ain't telling this to others because of might scared that they will invest into it and turns out they lose their money and blame me . I know the initiative that you teach your friends is good but giving financial advice can also lead to loses . I just want them to discover it on their on and they will decide to invest into it not  because i introduced it to them
1203  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people stay poor? on: May 29, 2023, 04:21:22 PM
they must have a strong determination for it. I think they have to feel first how to run out of money and then they make money by saying. "It's bad if you don't have any money" doesn't mean they are weak. those who are weak are only those who kill themselves, or give up looking for something needed to survive. as long as we try we will definitely get it. if it's not time to be rich after doing the maximum, never give up and be patient.

There are really cases where others give up, but it is not a good choice because giving up means you won't reach your destination. Like, let's say no matter how much work you've done, it is still the same. That is really the time that you should do more work and always reflect on what you will do. As it is not always the case that doing your hard work is good, you should also work smart. That is why sometimes when things get busy, I always think about the shortcut to make this easier so that I could finish this fast.
1204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stop gambling addiction? on: May 29, 2023, 01:31:18 PM
However, it doesn't feel like a lot of money has been lost. The only way you can think of to make up for lost money is to increase the bet. With the hope that 1 win will return the loser's money. Unexpectedly, the money lost is getting bigger and bigger. If the money has run out, then borrowing is another alternative to playing gambling. Not felt, has become a gambling addict.
 

You will really learn a hard lesson on this because you will lose more. I remember this before when I was betting a crash game. I just thought the money that I allocated was enough, so every time I lose, I will increase my bet times two, which at first is working, but later on it is getting bigger and bigger until I lose it all. No matter how small your bet is or how big your budget is, as long as you keep chasing your losses, you'll lose more.

I do work online, and last week I just got off from the meeting of my boss in which they are really planning AI in the future. It is like automating the process as they see less error and can work fast, which I would say would be affected by it, not now but in the future. If the AI was able to access the internal data that we are getting into, then I think we are done, but again, this is a lot of process as well as needed tweaks.

That casino is not normal because usually if you are existing users they will send it to you via email the new ToS, or when you log back in to the casino a new ToS will be displayed and you will need to again agree to it. I am not sure what casino this is, but it is better to stay away from it. Also, also it is great to have a copy of the ToS every time you venture to another casino so that you have proof before and have a strong case with your problem.

I think people learned a lot from what happened in the past to those exchanges that went bankrupt and were not able to get their assets. This is really rampant this year, so people should be more cautious on this, and people are now moving to the wallet where they have the keys. There are also a lot of suggestions to not easily lose it, like putting it into metal and not on paper, but basically the important thing is that you own the key and you can only access it, not like having an email, username, password.

As the year goes by, people especially the investors will get wiser each time because we cannot avoid such times that there will be some investors that will be sampled for the sake of many. Like what happened these past few years, it will be a warning to us and for all those who are planning to make their move towards cryptocurrency, it may be redundant to hear these words but we need to hear it or read it from time to time so that we can be cautious and will be reminded about the do's and don'ts.

That is really the case in which there are really people that got scammed, and even worse, they lose it all, and then we will realize that it is not good to invest or put money into it. I mean, before, there were really people saying that if you don't own your keys, you don't own your assets, but we really don't care about it as we see that those exchanges are really legit, and we don't think of that they went bankrupt or what, but again, we learn lessons in hard times, so that happened, and investors now know of it.
1209  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving one third what you earn monthly is not that hard, isn't it ? on: May 29, 2023, 04:10:00 AM
this is because of the inflation. i remember before that minimum salary is enough to us and there are some extra on it as we can still eat on restaurant but right now even in grocery it isn't enough and you still need to find side jobs that is why right now in a family mostly both wife and husband will work and there are still side hustle so that they can still provide to their children. This is really because of the prices of everything because if it is low then it is okay but again prices are increasing but our salary just stays stagnant 

Actually everything is so expensive these days that a single salary is not enough to manage uses so in these situations earning is important and every individual of a family should earn.

Parents can live a simple life but they have to earn extra amount to provide every opportunity to their children to have a prosperous future therefore both mother and father works together these days as salary of a single person is not in a maximum amount.

If owner enhances the salaries so the substances use in daily life also become elevated in price therefore it become hard to improve the quality of life in such condition of inflation.

The problem with both mothers and fathers going to work is that their children need love or care because both parents are too busy at work, and they will not notice that even though they give the child all the stuff they need, the child still wants to go play with their parents. That is why, right now, I do have a family, and I always refrain from working with my wife as she should be taking care of the child. It is okay for me that I am the only one sacrificing for their own good.
1210  Economy / Economics / Re: Financial education or 1million dollars on: May 29, 2023, 02:25:12 AM
On the other hand 1million dollars is truly a life changing amount of money but if you are not financially educated, you will lose it all on  the long run,
I don't know if anyone sees it the same way I do?

Obviously 1 million dollars, education is not so important for that kind of money. With 1m you can already get a decent asset manager that is well educated and will setup a good portfolio for you. Once you have a portfolio that plays regular dividends then you can just sit back and enjoy the side money. If you would pick the education instead it means that you paid 1m for the education which is way too much. The problem for even the best financial education is that if you have no capital to start with than it's really hard to make big profits. Reaching the first million is the hardest with and without education. Another thing is that if you are well educated than you are able to get a good paying job, still reaching 1m USD with a good salary is going too take a long time.

Time is also gold with this time because if you choose financial education it tends to be time consuming as you need to attend all of your classes and it would be possible that you wont passed it , also hiring someone that has proven track record in handling your money is good as long as he is legit and trusted so that your money will be manage well and you can invest into something that you can earn more profit , it is not more time consuming as you already have money unless you choose education on which we dont know if after we graduate what will happen to us.
Lol everyone is being too honest in this post and this is reality all of us wants money over education  or if they want education still that will be second option .
Earning money is getting really harder with each passing day and if someone is getting it they'll definitely avail that opportunity.  The business tycoons that are leading this world are not highly educated people which is why people specially youngsters have changed their approach to life.

We go to school to find a decent job to earn money so still by the end you need the money so most of us really wants money and we cant blame it because we cant lived without it , also you are right a lot of rich people has no proper education but still they study when they are already rich because they want to learn more and improve more their business, it doesn't mean that you are rich you will not go to school , you should still go to school because you will gain more knowledge on what you are doing now.
1211  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you consider moving abroad? on: May 29, 2023, 01:22:31 AM
When I was unmarried, I also intended to move abroad to work to save some business capital, but economic conditions did not allow it. But now I no longer have that intention even though I already have enough money to go abroad. You are right, money is very important, but for married men, especially when we have children, money or anything can't be compared to them.

Moreover, in today's developed world, we have many options and do not need to go abroad to find a job with a high salary. I think as long as we work hard and give our best, we still have a chance to succeed no matter where we live.
You can also work now while your boss is abroad, which is a work from home setup. It is some sort of way of saying you are going abroad also, but this depends as some have a high salary and others have a low salary. But going abroad even if you have family is very difficult as you are leaving them behind, but still, it is for their own good. Right now, people are choosing to work online if they have a chance so that they won't need to go abroad and leave their family behind.
It is basically not possible for everyone to find jobs that allow them to work from home and that is the reason why most people prefer working offline since there are more job opportunities offline for those who are not highly skilled or educated, such people can easily find some sort of job if they search outside because there are different sectors and industries where people are hired but there are limited opportunities online.

Only a limited amount of people in the world get to work from the comfort of their homes and they are considered to be very lucky because they don't need to go anywhere to earn money, a lot of people would envy you if you've got an online job.

That is really the case as not all have the opportunity to work online, and also this is the new normal thing now a days since the pandemic as most of the setup right now is online, but no matter what people say, when we say it's online, others will say you are earning big, which is not true. We are just lucky that we don't spend money on fare and wake up early as we need to go to our offices, though you need expenses in electricity as well as internet, so it is still the same, but you still have time with your family.
1212  Economy / Economics / Re: What to do with all guy who loss money to stock market on: May 29, 2023, 12:35:16 AM
Money Markets are inherently unstable, and losses are a natural part of the investment process. If a person loses money in the stock market the first step is to take a step back and assess their financial situation and if the percentages calculated are losing more than the gains even if they survive in the current and normal as it is if I'm not mistaken.

You cant evade losses in stock market because that is natural with it , if someone losses , someone also winning or earning profit from it . If at the very first if you just set a specific budget on what you need to invest and not putting it all then you wont lose all of your money just always think that you should investing what you can afford to lose and also every mistake that happen to you or youve done you should reflect and learn from it so that you wont commiting those mistakes again
1213  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading not a get rich quick on: May 27, 2023, 03:47:28 PM
Of course trading and investment both not like for rich quickly even you will gonna poor if you have less experience. Every processing is to much hard of crypto market. On time if you taken unless decision then you will face financial problem. I will prepare take to more skills about crypto market then you can expect gainer.

Those who don't have full knowledge about Bitcoin investment, trading, or even investment in general may not really follow up on some situations educationally because they lack the knowledge. Just like the trading or Bitcoin investment we're discussing, do you know that some people think that everything that concerns crypto is gambling? And in gambling, you are just there to try your luck if you can win any; that's how many people are trying to put money into crypto to try their luck if any altcoin can give them 100X or 1000X of their invested capital, and like you said, even one can end in a financial crisis if they really don't know what they are doing. Imagine someone investing a huge amount of money into shitcoins and the coin dump and never pumping again.

Trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme the way many people thought it was; let everyone learn and have full knowledge about what they are venturing into.

How strange is that people think that trading cryptocurrency is the easiest form to make money. This is totally a misconception and many trader realise it once they start trading and are unable to make sufficient profits. Most of the traders start trading without any knowledge and when they are in loss they complain and think that cryptocurrency and trading is a fraud.

One must realize that we can make money with trading but after proper knowledge and experience and also we should remove this opinion that trading is a quick rich scheme.

This is really funny to think that when people say trading those no experience and no knowledge people will say it is easy as you just need to buy low sell high on which i really recall my workmate before that she wants me to do the trading and she just want to give me money and with the profit we will be half , they way she tell me that it is easy just buy low and sell high then its profit , which makes me laugh really as she thoughts it is that simple , well for sure on where she is right she really realize that it is not the case.
1214  Economy / Economics / Re: When will we stop living for the weekend? Escaping the 9-5 life. on: May 27, 2023, 02:04:46 PM
Majority of people who got affected by inflation are middle class and poor people rich never got affected by these things they have plenty of money to fa e anything in life.  
How come some one wants to escape their job which gives them income and money to support their family.
Majority of people still wait for weekend to relax and spend time with family and do something for themselves.
Rich people are not really affected by inflation because they can use more money when needed. However, middle and lower class people who are in the poor category have to work more in order to fight inflation and they are also willing to work in different places to earn more money for their lives in inflationary conditions. Meanwhile for rich people, I think there is nothing to say under any circumstances because they can easily overcome any problem by using money where they want.

That is really the sad truth. Rich people can easily overcome inflation as they have enough money to spend, whereas the middle class and poor are having difficulties coping with it. They tend to just limit their buying, like instead of buying a whole sack of rice, they tend to make it half because if they buy one, they are caught short and have a hard time buying other necessities, unlike the rich, who have extra income or more money than us and don't get short financially.
1215  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dubai to construct the world's first bitcoin tower on: May 27, 2023, 11:44:08 AM
I don’t get it. So the name is Bitcoin Tower but they’ll offer apartments for rent in some weird shitcoin that’ll pay the owner in stakes? Is tht what happens? Cause if so, then why even call it Bitcoin Tower? Call it Shitcoin Tower instead lol because this has nothing to do with BTC besides the name
You nailed it... They could've gone with other shitcoins for the tower name, but clearly, they know the only way to expect a good outcome from announcing such projects is by masking out the part that shows their true nature.


So it is just for the name; they are just masking it and putting the name Bitcoin on it so people will say it's legit, but it turns out they will be using another shitcoin? and not the bitcoin itself, because that is also my question in my head on how they will do it, like how do they do the staking? One of the ways that I can think of is that they will create their own token, and then it is useless because they name the tower Bitcoin, but they are using another coin.
1216  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Emotion and Trade? on: May 27, 2023, 10:37:10 AM
The most difficult thing when we are trading is controlling our emotions, as we know that very high price fluctuations make us easily emotional, but what happens when we are emotional is that we usually lose, it is better to focus on the goal, namely profit, if we trade on spot exchanges then this the best is after buying then adding a profit target then placing it in a sell position.

that is really a must having target profit and stop loss because we don't know what will happen to the market , like if we dont put stop loss for sure if the price of the coin that we are trading to drops then for sure our accounts would be burn as we dont put stop loss on it , also we get greedy if we dont put target profit on it, this is really the probe  of new traders not putting target profit as the want to get more profit but because we are too greedy the market reverses and we again lose.

1218  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you consider moving abroad? on: May 27, 2023, 08:36:52 AM
so far there is no desire to move and live abroad. I am more comfortable living in my own country with various customs and cultures. it's hard to leave the habits that have been ingrained since childhood. Even though I will have a lot of money overseas, I can't afford to start life in a new situation, so I have to adapt. this is because the main thing is that I am already married and have children, so I learn to be grateful for what I have now
I understand because it's certainly not an easy matter to adapt abroad,
it's a normal thing because of cultural differences and many things that make it difficult even though everyone certainly has their own way of how they adapt in a new environment,
especially if you already have a family, of course it's not easy to leave it.

You really need to adjust because of the environment on it , it is either too hot or too cold and mostly I've noticed those people who went to other countries they got sick as they are still adopting to the climate there but after that they will able to adopt the temperature on it , what most difficult is mental health because you are too far from your country as well as family which is your mental health is kind of eating you if you are  not taking care of your self, that is why it is better to join community there with the same nationality with you so that you have friends to talked with.

There is a lot for us to learn and adapt if we want to migrate to another country to live and work. But everything will be nothing if we want to go and be consistent with our choice. Things will be difficult at first, but it won't be more difficult when compared to staying in the homeland without money. I think there is nothing more difficult in this world than having no money. Moving abroad to work will be difficult, but in return, it brings a lot of money, and that is why many people choose to work abroad.

But still, there are others who prefer not to go abroad and settle in their homeland with a low-paying salary; they don't want to be away from their family, and as we know, life abroad is so hard. There are really people who will say they want to go abroad so that they can save money and renovate or purchase a house, but others will also say that they don't want that house or cars. The more important thing to them is that they have their partner by their side, especially if the child is still growing. That is a really difficult part.

When I was unmarried, I also intended to move abroad to work to save some business capital, but economic conditions did not allow it. But now I no longer have that intention even though I already have enough money to go abroad. You are right, money is very important, but for married men, especially when we have children, money or anything can't be compared to them.

It is some sort of way of saying you are going abroad also, but this depends as some have a high salary and others have a low salary.

1219  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving one third what you earn monthly is not that hard, isn't it ? on: May 27, 2023, 07:36:20 AM
Your ability to save money depends on your personal income, expenses, and living expenses. You must assess your financial situation for yourself and find a balance between earning extra money, managing expenses, and saving for the future. Maybe you should budget carefully, prioritize your financial goals, and make conscious spending decisions that can work toward increasing your savings. So aim to change sustainable financial planning habits and make progress toward your personal goals, regardless of the specific amount of savings.
I don't think saving should be forced, meaning it should be as natural as possible without disturbing one or two of your other needs. I agree with your opinion that saving plan depends on income and expenses, but of course saving must be planned.

I don't know how someone can save 35% of their salary every month when they only have $200 in salary every month. Inflation has made it difficult for many workers to save money, of course that's because the prices of all basic commodities have increased and have not been normal until now. Even I will also be grateful if I manage to save 5% - 10% of my income every month instead of 35%, it's too hard to do right now.

Good point. As long as you see that there's progress with how you save your money, that's good enough to continue. There are people who have that strong personality in which they can separate big portions of their salary for savings especially those who are single and don't have that serious responsibilities, exemptions that can allow them to save more compared with regular employee who are struggling to save some even they really intend to save but expenses are really tough to breakout.

I really idolize this people that know how to budget and save because mostly by the end of the year they tend to see howmuch they save or a couple of years goes by they will check how much they save and buy a car from it or the stuff they want too. I do really have hard time to save mostly if it takes time because there are really time that i needed to use it so once that time comes I use it and i will be starting again from the start.
1220  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: May 27, 2023, 04:05:14 AM
Have you heard of Superpicks on DSTV? where you can make predictions and win money without staking your money?

if you have not, check it out. Superpicks.com

My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?
With or without money we can still term it to be gambling since they are all involved staking and predictions. However interest might pick up and may lead to staking of funds which would possibly turned it to gambling.
I have heard of this on DSTV as well were you will select the players and if it happens those players picked score accordingly or with the way you are being selected then you win money. I have been see the adverts on that satellite.

For this it is necessary to clarify that a real bet is when it is done with money, and that is what makes it exciting, a bet is a bet for me with that, otherwise it is considered as training, of course we cannot say that we do not need practice, practice is necessary, but a bet itself is with money, otherwise there is no emotion there are no profits, no losses, but for someone who is afraid to bet to do it, but there is not much point in making bets with fictitious money, it is something that does not have any type of argument, if to practice and learn it is something else , it is accepted , otherwise not.


But you can still bet without money; you can bet using your stuff, like shoes, your things, etc., as long as you both agree, but still, it is better to bet with money, and you are right, the excitement would be gone if there was no betting. Just imagine watching your favorite sport without betting; it is kind of boring, but still there is excitement, but it is very different when you bet because even when you are at home, you are shouting support for your team.
