Money does not guarantee happiness. In my opinion, money and happiness are 2 different things. Happiness can be found in simple things.
I find it strange when there are people who do everything they can to earn money and they think it's for their happiness. I think that mindset is wrong.

You really cannot blame such people because everyone wants to be comfortable and have security. And with this, money is a vital thing. In contrast, even having a lot of money doesn't mean you are rich. If you do not have satisfaction, or people to share the good times with, money and all the wealth loses their value. Being rich a lot of people will stick with you but the majority of these people are only with you for the good times and not through the bad times. In this state, I can only say you are poor.

But those who barely have some but are satisfied with simplicity and are free from the shackles of social statuses and standards, they are the ones that are truly rich and fortunate.

The best way depends on the perception of an individual. As for me, I would rather focus on succeeding in all my chosen endeavours and be mindful of the things I have control over rather than being highly divulged on matters that I cannot control or have no power to influence. Quite hard fo explain but I think is understandable. The main point is that for me, best decision is to start fixing and improving yourself physically and emotionally to be a person with good morality, high standard decision making and more which will make you a productive person in your community that people will one way or another admire and respect making you a bigger droplet that make bigger ripples in the ocean. You can just imagine if most of the people have this kind of mindset and actually take action. How big of a wave do you think it will cause? How much influence can it make?

Wow, that question was so fast! Lol.

Jokes aside, Elon Musk having his influence on dogecoin or any crypto was inevitable. Even dogs remember and learn what is not good for their health or is painful for them. It is only natural that the masses will understand that Elon and the people who understands his tricks are only capitalizing on the sheep mindset of the masses. Too bad though that dogs are even better than some people since there will still be people that would choose to not abandon their sheep mindset either because of honest stupidiy or stupidity by ego.

As long as greed exists, there is always money to be made, and when there is money to be made anything that can be exploited will he exploited regardless of what it is. Be it crypto currencies or natural resources.

philosophy and nature:
though from nature of caveman and apes. we have had the natural 'ability'' of greed and exploitation. although modern civilised culture has managed to disrupt and suppress the exploitation, via laws of many things, such as making theft illegal and fraud.
however laws are still loose in regards to greed. gluttony is not a crime. capitalism isnt a crime. so in modern times greed is still part of our nature and culture that has been allowed.

everyone wants more then they have. if we didnt we would starve, by rationing food. we would be poor by not seeking wealth, we would be unentertained by not wanting more from life.
though greed can lead to exploitation, it doesnt mean it will. thats why bitcoin is code, because code makes rules.

bitcoin is decentralised to avoid exploitation by hackers trying to edit block data and transactions.
bitcoin is immutable to avoid the exploitation by chargeback refund scammers
bitcoin requires signatures to avoid the exploitation by fake identities pretending they own the coin


Indeed greed is vital but it seems I came short of explaining. What I actually meant was excessive greed. Since too much of anything won't do any good. And by exploitation (since I am not good with techy and programming topics) I meant taking advantage of patience, kindness, naivety, etc., or manipulating market through a wide variety of ways. Having Musk's brilliant way of leading sheeple as an example, or if conspiracies are your thing, whales communicating with each other to control market pricess and take from small guys their bitcoin (or any crypto in that matter) cheaply. Which may morally look wrong in the eyes of some but is the law of the jungle as we call it.

Which is why I tend to focus on things I can control instead and make the best of the cards I'm dealt with to avoid headaches.

(If quite messy to understand, apologies. Really not that good at expressing thoughts since this isn't my primary language)
285  Economy / Economics / Re: 2022 Savings and investment plan on: January 17, 2022, 04:59:46 AM
Good decision. If only the masses value knowledge more than profits lee people would lose money. But then again, few people would also gain money lol. But seriously though, you should strictly follow that plan. If you do, you will find the flaws in that olan by yourself and will learn which parts to change in order to make your plan more productive. The point is, you did a good job not being impatient anymore(if you were in the past) and are treading the waters carefully by reducing risks and prioritizing knowledge and experience more.

I believe you will succeed. Goodluck.
286  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Ang crypto after ng isang super typhoon. on: January 17, 2022, 03:44:34 AM
Depende lang talaga to sa pananaw ng isang indibidwal. Kase maraming mga bagay na pwedeng mangyare at di natin alam kung anu-ano lahat ng yon. Pero para sa akin, hindi problema ang walang kuryente. Kase ma aayos yan eh, meaning hindi sya malaking problema specially ngayon na mas nag poprogress pa lalo ang technologies sa mundo. Sooner or later mas bibilis ang pag ayos ng mga problema tulad ng power outages etc.

Another point na dapat e consider is pati atms and banks ay walang magagawa in times of power outages. So ganun rin naman. Better decision is to be in the middle or better yet, mas maging leaned sa crypto (40-60) tutal di naman tayo everyday nag dadala ng 50k pataas na cash. Big buys kadalasan credit cards naman, at kung cash, di rin naman everyday. So better na e keep n lng  sa crypto ang portions na di naman ginagamit for beter profits leaving only a percentage para sa emergency funds and expenses.

Such a good read. Even with the topic or thought being pretty common, it still piques my interest and makes me ponder every time I encounter it. The main thing here though is the people's greed. As long as greed exists, there is always money to be made, and when there is money to be made anything that can be exploited will he exploited regardless of what it is. Be it crypto currencies or natural resources. The price of bitcoin, we can only speculate until all coins get mined. But even then, price will still continue to be volatile. Either way, we won't reach such time so I prefer to focus on the near future instead and secure a future for my offsprings leaving the far future for them to oonder about.
288  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How reasonable is the long-term investment in Altcoins? on: January 17, 2022, 03:02:47 AM
Not all altcoins can be held for a long term return. Some are just meant to make good profit with the volatility then back off or take advantage of the hype get a good profit and abandon the project for another. Only a few altcoin can guarantee one a good return on a long term base. To hold on a long term means a deep research before holding

That's how the market works, you need to understand and you need to assess each project that you wanted to participate.
Not all are good for a long while, some are, but most of it is just plain hypes and only those who know the game well are there
one who really gains a good amount of compensations.


The fact of the matter is that as long as you make profits, timeframes won't matter. That is, if you as an investor invested first on knowledge either with money or time (paid or free knowledge)  before investing on any asset. This is what'll make the difference between a winner and a loser. Now with how much you win or lose is a different story which depends on risk tolerance and experience.

But then again, there are those that are lucky as hell that win lottery-like jackpots on crypto investments which is very rare though.
289  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Walmart trademark filings could indicate entry into crypto and NFT markets on: January 17, 2022, 02:38:48 AM
- Indeed it will. Knowing the mindset of the people regardless of social status, consumers and providers, the new, the unique and comfortable/easy to understand/use will surely be a thing to grab.

- Massive things are already brewing and about to happen which will bridge this crypto industry to other industries widening and hastening adoption. If has long disappeared and was replaced by when. And I believe that the next 2 years will shock the world.

- with the current speed of crypto adoption, I believe that the numbers will only increase from this point. And so, those who do not adapt will get left behind, be it people or businesses. Having said so, Walmart may really achieve this if the Amazon doesn't take this industry and the people's psychology seriously.
290  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency Investors Try to Turn Private Islands Into Blockchain Utopias on: January 17, 2022, 02:26:38 AM
This is pretty common regardless of era. Even if crypto currencies never showed up it will happen. Most rich people specially those born rich will always want to have unique things to own or spend on. The more expensive the better. Still there are quite a few that does so for the sole purpose of comfort or as a form of investment rather than flaunting riches.
291  Other / Archival / Re: Bitcoin makes a loser a winner on: January 17, 2022, 02:09:59 AM
Yeah, yeah. Bitcoin and a couple of crypto currencies have proven to be valuable and in demand as time passes which brings a lot of profit to the people who invested and believed in them. But the thing is, without all the knowledge of how things went for crypto and other influences today, I highly doubt that if the time went back, to 2009 or so, people would still not invest and would even make fun of the people who do. Fact is, until people see results they won't bother giving a sht(most people) which is why only a few had success even after all those years.
292  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Conflicting news tungkol sa pag gamit ng Binance P2P at UnionBank! on: January 17, 2022, 01:46:55 AM
Sa pagkakaintindi ko sa issue na to, yung mga account lng sa UB na me malalaking transactions from p2p ang nakaka experience ng problems. Kase sa akin pati sa mga tropa ko na gumagamit ng binance pati UB, wala naman problema. Siguro me mga nakapag report lng ng cases of money laundering tapos marami rami ang pumansin kaya na pipilitan mag take ng further action of precautions UB/Binance towards sa mga account na me mga suspicious transactions/source of funds.

295  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tron could be next doge or ada? on: November 04, 2021, 08:58:50 PM
I personally think that tron is a very good altcoin with solid use case and developing team, comparing it with doge is somehow insulting to tron itself. Tron has built reputation by usability and more while doge is built on nothing but hype and jokes. But even so, with projects that have similar usecases to tron or even better that are currently thriving in the market, I honestly think that tron will be having a hard time unless the developing team of this coin can come up with new ideas that would benefit the people and this industry as a whole more than the other similar coins today. With that said, have sold a few of my tron to circulate profits but still holding a few for the long run since I still see it as a good investment.
296  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What about Fauci and the Wuhan Institute of Virology? on: November 04, 2021, 08:31:43 PM
Honestly, with how easily information can get twisted for the benefit of one side nowadays, I really cannot be sure about what's real and what's not. It's like the more information we have access to, the more we doubt and have more questions unlike the times when internet wasn't as widely used as today. Not knowing a lot, you year for more, but when you kearn more, you get tired at some point and question the very use for still asking.

Right now, most of the people here in my place believe that it is a lab leak. And the news channels here never really talked about such incident that much and I really don't know why. I mean, they talk about COVID cases all the time with all the numbers of infected, survivors and all that. But not the origins of the virus or whether the rumors are true or not. I guess they are being neutral and don't know that much or are on a pay check to control the information.

The only thing I am sure of right now is that I should heed to the health protocols and be one of the solutions along with my family than a liability to my country.
297  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Going public saying you own Bitcoin is not safe anymore on: November 04, 2021, 08:13:13 PM
Man, it really doesn't make sense as to why people go and brag about holding crypto currencies despite the situation of the world right now. Even if they did not know that crypto related crimes are increasing, it should be common sense that tells them how stupid it is to flaunt your crypto currency assets when many are trying so hard to get their hands on these assets since some are desperate due to this pandemic. Specially when you own a bag that has a considerably huge value in terms of usd! I hope no one ever follows such bad examples. I'd really hate for it to hapoen to anyone.
298  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 'Squid Game' cryptocurrency scams $2 million on: November 04, 2021, 07:55:03 PM
That squidgame coin was really popular here in my place even back then when it is still about to be launched because of the fame that the Netflix series; squidgame has here in my place. Even the oldies know of these series which is pretty rare if you ask me. Even though it was tempting, being in this industry for a long time already, I knew better than to risk my hard earned money to some shady coin without that much info. I was thinking that if it succeeded, good for the investors and if not, good for me coz I didn't fomo blindly into the trend. And when it crashed I felt bad for the investors and some relief that I stuck with my decision from experience. I just wish that from now on, people would know better than to invest on some shady coins.
299  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Balancing Cryptocurrency with Government Regulations on: November 04, 2021, 07:35:18 PM
Man, there really is too little to nothing that we can do about this. Because even when the word corrupt/corruption is really overused, it still proves to be real and be it a flourishing country or not, corrupt individuals who feed on corruption will always be present. The best thing a normal individual can do right now is to invest smartly and if regulations require it, endure and be a but regulated. As long as you do not steal or steo on anyone and are paying taxes (which is your responsibility to your country) , then you can feel at ease and safe from inflation and the law.
300  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading with leverage on: November 04, 2021, 07:14:50 PM
This is a very bad advice for beginners. Man, If y'all beginners manage to stumble upon this, DO NOT OVER LEVERAGE! or better yet, NEVER GO TO FUTURES and MASTER FUNDAMENTALS in trading first instead! If you really are itching to trade, do spot while you are still learning about the fundamentals and only use 1-5% of your funds first. Normally, I would advice beginners to start off with the top 20 coins when still learning the basics on trading. But if you are really stubborn and want to try trading shitcoins (which I strongly advice beginners to stay away from) just use 1% of your funds.

Another thing you can do is unvest on good potential low cap coins or start ups. This is a but riskier though but with proper research about specifics like developing team of the altcoin/project, partners and its community, you can drastically lessen the risk.

- Bottom line is that if you have enough time and/or money to invest, please please please do invest first on at least the very basic fundamentals/knowledge about this industry and trading if you are interested in trading before jumping in. Break the cycle guys, to not repeat the mistakes that I, along with dozens of traders have done and may still he doing to this day. You have the chance to learn without experiencing regret, don't waste it.

Because you see, crypto investing and trading is more like a survival game. How long you can sustain constant "just enough profitability" with minimal risk is more important than rare huge wins that are followed by recurring huge losses.


Now if you really don't want to go through such hassle, then better go and gamble in a casino. Because as what I like to say;

"While crypto lottery like jackpot wins really do happen and is not impossible, it doesn't happen pretty often nor does it costs cheap.
Remember, survivor bias is real; you will always hear about the jackpot winners but not about the ones who have gotten their life savings liquidated."


Hope this helps y'all beginners out there.
