So it only means we should buy "what we need and not what we what". But those offering huge discounts are really playing mind games to all of us, consumers. So what I do is when I go to a mall, I just buy the things that I really wanted and then immediately get out so that I won't be tempted to get those so called "sale" items that will just sit on cabinet for a long time.

Regarding Bitcoin though, it's already a given fact, when price drops, there will be a lot of FUD's around. Grin
That is right, we just have to walk to any mall with the intention of buying what we need and not based on sales or promo because that is still the price we will get them anytime the need arise. It is not only mall that plays mind game with us.

This game is virtually played everywhere, this is what they use in deceiving people also buying these expensive cars and houses making them believe that the material used is one in a million that has something so spectacular which makes it over expensive. That is the world we leave in, we just have to learn how to be smart in the way we spend.

Dont mind about the negative thing that people said, you can't stop people's mouth, when the price go high they will say that bitcoin ia too expensive when its cheap then they will say bitcoin is cheap things, and the funny part a lot of people buy bitcoin when its high, when it's cheap people will wait and wait for another dip

Sales are everywhere. Sale on shoes, bags, shirts, gadgets and everything. Malls and shops use this technique to attract buyers, but you know what?  Do you think you've been discounted a higher price than ordinary? No. Instead of saving 20%, you spend 80% on things you dont really need. This is not economical and most of us are easily lured to it. This is what i hate about people. When there's useless trending items on sale, they buy immediately even on credit cards but if bitcoin drops, they talk negative about it. Normal mindset wants to get temporary attention. Not permanent comfort.

That is the normal thing when there was a sales, like recent mall sales here in my country their parking slots are full for the 20% discount. Most of the time people are focused on what can make them happy and sustain their wants and not the need.

lol Grin, indeed that is human nature where they are often difficult to control themselves and so am me personally. In my opinion, this is because their trust in Bitcoin is still gray and only goes with the flow and does not have a real mindset that is in accordance with what they get from the results they seek information and knowledge about bitcoin.

I don't really look at these sales by malls and known store around because you think they are cheap but they are even selling less quality products. Many people who patronize them do so because of class. They want you to see and believe they have arrived in the society.

True! I'm also not a fan of sale. I discovered it before in a nearby mall when I happened to passed by a boutique. I saw a very good sandals. The day after that day was on sale so I said on self that I'll wait until tomorrow to buy that stuff. But instead of marking down, it's price even got higher. Sales are just bluff and trap. They are riding the mentality of many people that even if they do not need, as long as it's on sale, they'll surely buy it. Buy only what you need, not what is just on sale, otherwise you'll end up selling it soon.

For me not interested in discounted items, what else in malls and supermarkets, discounted goods do not guarantee their authenticity, instead make people who are not used when buying it, I am more interested in new authenticity, like shoes etc.

True it wouldn't be a discount for yourself if you don't really need to spend for it on the first place,
This is why poor people stays poor because we couldn't control our self on spending on something that we don't really need.
While other are spending their money wisely and only buy what they need they don't over spend I am not talking about those crazy super rich person but those person who have nothing that become rich because of they could control their self.

I do not know how about other countries, but in my country discounts are never so easily justified. I can always try and find the same thing elsewhere without a discount at the same price. In my opinion, discounts are only a marketing ploy. Yes, I understand that there are seasonal discounts, but anyway it is always a manipulation.

Do not generalize as if everyone is breaking their back to buy on Mall sales. There are some who are financially wise. And I see more and more of them. They may not be investing in bitcoin but they have investments on other things. You cannot force your idea to invest in bitcoin on anyone, even if bitcoin price is low.

fully we must have strong self-confidence to be able to decide when to buy and resell. if we are affected by negative things from other people, until whenever we will not get what we expect because we cannot take advantage of the opportunity

Another approach is have you ever checked prices on stuff that are on "sale" before the sale happened? I have previously seen a big amount of "black Friday" prices that have been put on some database and they compared the prices when the black Friday happens and you get to see that whenever they say discounts were like 50%+ it was mostly like 10% or 20% at best.

I have ever seen one where the price was higher than previously stated but they claimed 25% discount. So, you see even if you think you are buying something you do not need because of the sale, the worst part is you are not even paying that much lower than advertised neither, they are just lying to you about discount while not putting that much discount on it at all. This goes way deeper than it seems on the surface.

   I am so habituated for sales. Sales are every where, they became as something usual already.
   Everyday a shop or supermarket has something with discount and I make my shopping list to save as much as I can. I even delay to buy furniture I like to buy it on sale.
   Honestly I'm tired to live such life. Hope crypto currencies will help me one day just go to shopping and take everything I want without paying attention on its price.

You are only looking on a tree not the whole forest. Totally looking on a one side.

Clearly in your example, you didn't see that "sales" at some point are true and helpful. It's just that you didn't noticed it and began to take the whole in general. If you are the one who managed spendings in your household, you will actually compared what are those things who put on sh*t sale or not. I even got lots of useful products in a cheap price during sale as I know the average retail price on those.

Now pointing to bitcoin, I don't see how it was related. The comparison is not making sense.

You can't just push people to buy bitcoin if it's out of their interest.

Actually the discount price is a marketing strategy that has become common knowledge in the community and many people know that the actual price is open like that even more than the discount price but there are still many who are tempted by this, but this is the right of the seller itself and  Unlike Bitcoin, Bitcoin is not like that because Bitcoin is embracing a blockchain site that is not the same as an ordinary marketing system

I strongly agree with subtle deception with discounts everywhere because most people talk about the secrets of playable prices and discounted words to deceive someone into what is happening, so there is nothing wrong with how smart we are at managing expenses so you don't buy what you really don't need for a long time, all stores have their own strategies.

discounts are made to attract the attention of customers. with attractive discounts, it can change the psychology of a person who had no intention of buying, so he thought of buying it, even though the item was not needed yet, this strategy was very much found like today in the month of Ramadan

Indeed, many discount promotions on a large scale but it turns out they raise the price first and then they give a discount as if the price is cheap from the previous price, but actually it is a normal price manipulated to attract consumers' attention, this is where the community starts consumptive because buying goods is indeed not a priority for actual needs.

It's a marketing strategy, it attracts customer when it said that the product were on sale. Sometimes it's mention to be in sale but it's really the price and does still give profit for the owner. Buy when you need it and seems you can have profit after while.

There is no problem when buying goods if there is a sale as long as it does not compromise the expenses you needed daily. Anyways, how does this issue connect to cryptocurrency?
