Is this basically just another way to make money?

[11adamsBTC]

Yes ofcourse its just another way of earning some money in terms of fiats -_-

[googs84]

Yeah the devil's are actually the team member who are making the projects. Sometimes we think that projects are best and we might earn money from that project but these are the only nice looking projects which then later on become worst one. The investment turn out scam because teams members are scam in first place and they just want money that was generated as funding.

Yes, bitcoin is the right way to make money. And when you are really forcing your own on how to learn by earning lots of profit, then your lucky to have it. And it's basic for you to get a better life.

People get attracted to Bitcoin because they believe that it has a big potential of giving them a good amount of earnings. The technology behind it are also interesting and could bring changes of traditional practice but this can be secondary. People have different goals when they started with bitcoin but to most of us right this moment, what matters is our need to earn money to support living. Bitcoin is more of an investment and definitely involves money to be able to acquire even a tiny portion of it and good investment skills and knowledge to be able to profit form it.

The main problem with this logic is that bitcoin exists as a speculative asset mostly, so the only way people ("most of us") can make a living off it is via taking someone else's money. What I want to say is that most of us are actually set to lose, and it is not so much about earning a living as avoiding losses and getting out unscathed from the predicament the whole cryptomarket is currently in.

My start with crypto/btc was that I invested a bit end of November last year. I had a few friends that told me about their small successes and how easy it was to just 'start'. It was indeed quite easy. I started to read and research into btc and every other relevant coin. Whitepapers, teams and such. Then I started to shift focus to the block chain, starting to get a grasp on what could be the future possibilities. I started to get real exited and invested some of my savings in a few projects with (to me) real potential. None of those projects appeared to be alive because of speculation only, mainly because they have a vision and actual plans.

So then I noticed that there are quite a few documentaries. I started to watch them all. A few from 2015, 2016 and 2017. I was disappointed to say the least. Everything was about bitcoin and the value/worth of bitcoin. It was about highs and lows, crashes and deceit. Only a few times the actual potential of the block chain was mentioned. Mostly it was about money.

Right now I am starting to feel like this is just a way to make money. Nothing more nothing less. You buy into btc or other coins and in no way are you really supporting the project, besides maybe adding to the order books at the exchanges with some minor effect until whales decided to take over. I sometimes have some sort of dishonest feeling, like the money I make through buying (and seldom) selling is somehow dirty as it comes from people that simply do less research, bail out or simply already had their take.

I started with high feelings of morality, being part of some new future where block chain would be the next internet. Right now it feels like a rat race where you have to grab as much money as possible before others take it before you or from you.

Not that I am ungrateful. I like many projects because of the team behind it that actually want to change the world. But if I look around me, it is mostly those that are in it to make money, a lot of money....and this money has to come from somewhere right (those that lose money)...

What is your take on this? Is this all a phase, part of how this game works?

I suggested that you must to engage in bitcoin. It really helps you a lot. Many ways of earning huge of bitcoin in the forum. There are many bounty's and campaign that giving different task to the participants and after completing the task they will pay you. Even this is not fast and easy money but you will surely earn. Just put some patience and hard working to this, thus in return all of this will be worth it.

Speaking of bitcoin crypto currency, "YES" it is another way of earning if you are connected in this online business. Investing and waiting to become an assets and profit.

You cant avoid this one since its being always part of reality of people on being greedy when it comes to money on where they don't really already go to the full essence on creating a good project but rather focusing on how to generate profits into its investors.

If your question if bitcoin is another way to earn money,the answer is yes.because of bitcoin I my self were able to have extra income for my family needs.

It is hard to understand what you are asking. Are you asking our opinion regarding why everyone is using bitcoins only for investment ?

after a long long story of the OP,stil i cant understand whats the question.i dont even know what he mean.would you pls shortened the story and straight to the point what you really wanted to ask?sorry but its a nonsense

Up until now, blockchain's full potential has not been used. It was just last year when bitcoin and blockchain technology boomed so strong. It may look like it's just for the money for now, but someday (i hope it'll be this year, but it's not) we can see this technology in our day to day living.

There is still much time needed for the Bitcoin to become the what it has been intended to be. Satoshi had the different vision.

Currently, the cryptocurrencies are only means for the profit. People don't care about technology representation. They care about the profit. The greed for the profit.

Maybe in the future, the technologies will be widely used but for now, money is the wheel in this system of the blockchain masses.

bitcoin is a good investment that people should turn on and on. but, it is not the only work which has a profit. it is good if you are doing it full time but it is better if it just a part time of you. because facing in a computer 24 hours a day is not good to your eyes and also to your health.

[bhabygrim]

Yes bitcoin is another way to earn money.
And most of us are using it to earn and it help a lot of people ,
Specially those who are just staying at their house taking care of their kids they could earn some money with bitcoin.

[badykvik]

The perspective to which you looked at is somehow good, but not good enough in my own opinion. You are ascribing your points to the fact that we are just here in the field to cash out of either Bitcoin or from all other Alts? Have you forgotten that apart from Bitcoin serving as earnings to their Users, It is an anonymous currency on line which allows peer to peer transactions that avoid the scrupulous middlemen unnecessary assistance along the line. Moreover, transactions are made easier on line through Bitcoin ; nationally, internationally or globally easily without the problem of Government documentaries where you are just in control of your funds but for probably carriage fees by freight, Ships or more. As a result, we are looking at Bitcoin as one the most worldly and widely used currencies with everyone in support.

No doubt in it. Bitcoins are playing a vital role in giving people so many opportunities where they indulge themselves in different methods to earn bitcoins. Later on these coins are changed or converted into local fiat currency and then enjoyment is there for you. They requires same level of performance and hard work as we always put in fiat businesses to earn money. Good luck everyone.

[Sahyadri]

Obviously this market is just another easy way to make money. Is there any other investment which promises you as many returns in this much time? Absolutely not. With BTC, you can get 20% returns in a day. Where else does this happen? Nowhere!
It has been a revolution for people and has given them a new way to make their living.

[sserge009]

For each individual person at the moment it's just a way to earn money. But in general this is perhaps the next step for humanity after the invention of money and a new stage in the financial relations between people.

[preceptus11]

What else could it be used for? I want to have myself a house and Audi

[outsider99]

bitcoin is another way to earn money in addition to real work, bitcoin can be done anywhere, no need at the office, at home can also be done.

[oaoe]

I had get several interesting answers though Grin.

My question - or at least the dilemma I are having - is that it mostly feels like it has only one goal that is certainly to make as much money as possible. But for folks that are just getting in it could be confusing because they perceive it as the biggest progressive change of recent years the same as I did.

Right now I kinda feel disappointed that to 99% of folks invested into crypto it appears to be nothing more that a source of income. A 'get it quick as the party is over' kind of thing.
