People are not motivated by money.

[entrepmind23]

Such an opinion may not apply in a country with a low economic level, because here everyone is motivated for money, all our efforts will have difficulty in living all life in this world, the business of buying and selling in cryptocyrrency is also the ultimate goal to get as much profit, because the state party cannot guarantee prosperity for every citizen, so we fight for ourselves ....

It would depend on what is your financial status because those who are already has financial freedom would not be motivated by money. Well, except for some who aren't contented with what they have and they want to have more of it. When you are having financial problems, you will be more motivated to do something just to earn money but it would depend on your conscience then if you will be doing it in a legal or illegal way.

There are some people that are motivated by money some are don't, but most of them are motivated by money, nowadays
a lot of people really emphasise on money to show their social status and to live better, only few percentage of people that lived in the world that are not motivated by money, because basically they think that their life is already comfortable and secure

Those who are comfortable with their life and has already reach the financial status that they wanted would find other goals which would make living more enjoyable. Those who love their niche wouldn't mind of they are earning a little because it's what makes them happy. Basically, it would boil down to whatever makes them satisfied and happy.

I don't know if I fully agree with this.  I think a lot of inventors are looking to get rich and not just to advance technology--history is full of people like that.

But that is because of the capitalist nature of the society. In a society where 'profit' means everything, you will breed people who will only care about the 'money'. But what happens when the tables are turned? Something like the Soviet Union. People were hungry for Power cuz 'money' was guaranteed at that time. Make a 'moneyless Decentralized' society and reward those who come up with brilliant ideas and solutions, I bet people will even come up with cures for cancer too. There was an interesting video on this topic by Kurzgesagt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvskMHn0sqQ I will recommend you to check it out.

Truth is that there is some people motivated with money and some that are not. So there are different motives for success in people, saying that it it is not motivated by money is true in some cases

people are not motivated by money ... it might happen in a fantasy world ... because there is nothing free in this world, all are rewarded with money, so many criminals all come from wanting to get money, maybe for a few people there who are not money motivated but it can be ascertained that the person is a millionaire or is too rich so he doesn't need money ...,,,

[budrabut]

I don't think so, because your sample is too specific to capitalist nature of society. In many countries, people are still strong motivated by money whereas money becomes everything.  People who are not really motivated by money is only a few from a huge number of society, they probably are already in high class therefore they are not motivated by money. In addition, even in some developed countries,  I believe that money is still the best motivation for the society.

Who are those that are not motivated by money even the rich are motivated with money. if they are not. why are still involve in one investment on the other. if some are not motivated with money they have their reasons.

[qumeijia]

Everyone has different motivation of their works. The reason of doing their jobs depends on the individual. However, most of us are doing our jobs because we want to earn and get our needs from what we. And what we get influences the quality of our life and motivation. For some employee and workers with low risks of their job, money probably become the best motivation because they want to get much money as possible with their jobs. In other hand, for some employee with difficult jobs, they probably never think about their salary or money because they want to create and build great jobs, not money. Therefore, it can not be generalize that people are not motivated by money because it depends on the aspect of the job desk/specification.

[becak mesin]

That is right. Money is not the absolute motivation. There are money people doing their jobs not for money, but for their happiness and hobby. I think doing something for hobby or passion result better than just for money. Money can be a motivation for people who really need for maintaining their life.

I always hear the argument for capitalism "B bb BUT people won't innovate without the profit motive" WRONG

Humans want to solve problems, create, and innovate, they do not need money to motivate them.  Cavemen were painting art 20,000 years ago without the desire of money.

True scientists like Tesla, he didn't care about money it was about the pursuit of science.

Capitalism does not cause innovation, most new technology is found by government programs like nasa (internet, smartphones, etc)

is it better to say people are motivated now for money, we are not cavemen anymore that are stuck in a cave, with no electricity bills to pay, no animal walking outside our house to catch and eat raw, we cannot leave our houses half naked, and walk a hundred miles to work, major changes has occur since man stepped out of that cave, tesla is a scientist, of course he is more motivated by science rather than money, we all need money to survive, i am not saying money is everything but money is now a necessity. we have to work for it, in order to pay our dues.

[funkenstein]

Money is the motivation of last resort, as defined by Gresham's law, money being defined as that resource you are most likely to trade away. 

As such it attracts those who have little personal power - the least educated and most desperate. 

[bbnt81]

Some people like Tesla was just borned to do something for this world, not for the sake of money.
We all know a lot of people like that. I think most scientists are. Also we can tell that a lot of people are doing things that are their passion, what they love, what they enjoy to be in everyday. Not doing things that make the most money.
Those people are to be admired and for inspiring other people.

right. all is passion. Most billionaires generally work without profit. They just enjoy doing what they like and that makes a difference in their career. We should learn to be more successful.

Okay that is true because I am myself science student and I have seen very much happiness in the scientific exploration rather than just making money. Its true that everything here needs lot of money and even for scientific exploration may need huge amount of money. But I believe that it is the part of transaction and the real money thing. It is troubling when someone is all behind the money and loosing the control of his life. If he is doing anything like that then moneys the problem otherwise there is no problem with the guy like me who is all into the science. There are many people like that around the world and then truth comes out where money doesnt matter anymore.

[musharaf]

People can be easily motivated through money because every one is doing effort for the sake of money and high return and in these days people are waiting for the price rise so they can make more money with it and for now the best reason behind the crypto falling is the wrong news and false information.

[OnceTwiceThird]

Money is can motivate every one but how hard and way to earn money is way could motivate all people to try and know it. many motivator always giving wrong way for people, show the money but not giving way how to start looking for money.

basically everyone hopes to get a lot of money from the profits they are looking for. in order to achieve this, there need to be many right ways and strategies so that process can be effective

And how you pay for your school? How you pay to learn about science? Do you have equipment? How did you pay for it? There isn`t simple explanation, you need to think about it a lot. Even on your life example it`s clear that you have money or your parents, but tell me one thing, what would you do if you don`t have money for food? Don`t think about money for school, car, house, start from food? Do you see where I`m heading with this? What OP is wrote about and what you wrote is simple how person feels and what person thinks when he have enough money for all the needs, maybe not all but for most things you like you have a way to get to them, and then you can relax and think about other stuff. Money is the reason why someone goes into the sewage system everyday, money is the reason why most of the people get up in the morning and go to some shitty work, money, because only with money you can buy food in a big city, only with money you can travel and see the world, only with money you can pay for bills. When you don`t have money, you can be a fanatic, a monk, that lives in the forest without any needs, except for food and shelter. In real world you need money for everything, and of course that money is a motivation for all of us. Only when you have a lot of money you can relax like I said and start to think about other things.

Money is the number one needs of people,other people disgusting by the money,that's why they can easy to motivate the people by some good explanation but you need the big amount or capital of money

you can rarely find someone who will do something for someone for free though. times have changed and those noble men who do something for someone are only going to be found in the remote areas in this world where you can see some honesty stores. but its true that if you want something done quick fast put a big reward for it and everyone will come running.

Really true.Gone are those days where people are just thoughtful enough to make a free service.People nowadays work hard to earn a living.I think we cannot deny the fact already that we are mostly motivated with money considering if you don't have money,you will not survive in this world.

Well, I think many people are motivated by business, but all the obstacles are money. so sometimes people are motivated by something to get money, because this age is an age where money is an important tool for building things.
