People tend not to move

[iv4n]

Reading this, I could not help but think that people also "don't move" in monetary terms. They are born in a certain region and they do not think that their money might very well better in some other form (e.g. bitcoin).

It's some kind of security, false security... the problem many of us face! We have enough for basics and something extra maybe and that gives us enough comfort, risking that for something more can lead to losing what we have now! So we stay where we are... at least most of us who found some peace! But some people are forced to move for all sorts of reasons, and I believe that stats will show that people who are forced can lose a lot more by staying than by moving, so for them moving is the only positive option!

I am thinking about moving sometimes, but it's OK for me where I am now... yes, it could be better, but it's OK now. I guess every place has positive and negative things, at least I learned how to deal with negativities here and stay positive... learning that on some other place sounds like a big hussle! But in a case that something (someone) forces me I will make that decision!

What the article stated kinda spoke to me on different levels. I only ever moved once from where I grew, and it's not even a different city at all! Most opportunities that ever existed in front of me just came from neighboring cities that are only 10-30 minutes ride away from my home, hence I never felt the need to relocate somewhere far away from what I used to. Also, my expenses are comparatively small compared to what I earn from the job, and moving from this place to another place with less living expenses but different environment I'm not completely used to isn't something I would do. I wouldn't trade comfort for just a few extra dollars of savings every month.

But from other people's perspective, I understand why the need for jumping from place to place is there. Perhaps they don't settle and 'blend' in with their locality, or that some other place presents an opportunity they could never get from the place they are currently on.

We all have our personal reasons why we chose not to move from where we are right now. It's either we are already contented of what we have right now, or we are just afraid that we will only fail and definitely lose if we tend to move into other sorts of things.

For me, as long as there are enough good reasons to move then I will finally do it. But for now, I'm still doing great of where i am right now so possibly I will stay here as much as I want.

Most cases it would really be on family reasons on where they couldnt afford on leaving their loved ones but on some circumstances on where people do really forces out to do so because the need of money or with needs which it cant really be avoided for you not to consider on going into other countries on seeking off for some job.
We do have our own personal reasons but most of the time we would really be tending to make things improve specially in our living and it would really be needing
to sacrifice but of course there would be some factors to consider.

The reason why not many people decide to move to find income in other regions or other countries, the most powerful reason is family. I also got
a pretty good offer to work in another country with a large income, I decided to turn it down. Because I'm the type of person who can't stay away
from family, for me money is not the main thing in this life. I prefer family over anything, after all, my principle in life is that money can be
found anywhere. Although maybe the difficulty level is greater if it makes money in my area. But as long as I want to work hard, I believe I can
become rich, without leaving my family.

Yes, maybe some doubts are still surrounding, and probabilities of environment influences still give reasons why people are moving or not moving. Additionally, our mindset will be also influencing how we decide to move or not.
btw, there maybe positive and negative sides of this condition, but if we really want to make something new, out of comfort zone, and we are ready with the risks, including we are ready to learn more, we are better for moving.

Before we move to something new to us its really better to be prepared on certain circumstances since if we just take a risk without even plan or have back up let we say funds then we will end up getting broke if we fail to meet our expectation for adopting the risk to improve. But any of this for sure in the long run for taking the risk we will get familiarized on what things we need to do but expect this will cause a lot for us that's why as I said we need to prepare first before we step out on our comfort zones.

A recent research presented in the article above indicates that

most people don't move

, geographically speaking. It is curious how most people are (randomly?) born somewhere and they tend to look for the opportunities to make a living on that place, do not go too far or think that they actually enjoy the freedom of deciding to go to anywhere else in the world unless they have serious pressing motivation (hunger, crime,...).

Reading this, I could not help but think that people also "don't move" in monetary terms. They are born in a certain region and they do not think that their money might very well better in some other form (e.g. bitcoin).

We cannot blame them because all they wanted is assurance and safeties of their investments.

It is like a playing and living inside your comfort zone .

and like a child that only going inside their House and their parent is very protective .

But once they find out how profitable this market is, surely they will move over and invest what they can afford .

and also defend to what kind of person or what kind of family brought them up, if they are being raised as fighter and tough character .

[Smartvirus]

Basically, people move based on three terms.

1. Lack of comfort: one is likely to always be at a place should the person be comfortable with the way of living in that particular zone and doesn't see the need to expand to some territories. It becomes risky to try and expand to some new regions becuase, despite the opportunities that exists there in, there are also constraints that are opposing to foreigners no matter what you tend to offer. Hence, one who is not a risk taker is likely to stick to his or her locality except in cases  where comfort is lacking. Then, it becomes a pressing concern to take risk.

2. Proving to one's self: one typical example of this one is in the person of Cristiano Ronaldo.  This Portuguese @CR7 has been really mobile in terms of his career although, to prove to himself that his better and can do great across all leagues. There are a lot of persons too, who choose to  displace themselves to some completely new ways of doing things and of life in other to prove something to themselves.

3. Marriage: This union has been some reason though, not very many persons are displaced by this means but then, in one instance, one can find himself adopted to some new lifestyle completely.

The comfort zone will be why they do not want to move to the other place or job or other things because they do not want to explore the other.
They do not want to learn the new thing that could allow them to change their lives for the better.
Once they see how big the opportunity they can get, they will try and start to search for the things that can help them change.
Maybe it is hard to start for the first time and many tempt things that can make them go back to their comfort zone and only those who want to have a big intention to change their lives will survive and succeed.

Many countries that moved to legalized bitcoin in their country are doing well than those that still remain in their comfort zone thinking decentralized currency is not good for a country that have a good future. Those government officials that moved from their country to other countries to know what decentralized currency can do to a country that make it legalized and how it will reduce inflation and increase deflation in the country not to allow any citizens to experience hardship in the country.
Those countries that refused to move to accept bitcoin in their country are still experiencing high inflation in their communities. Many graduate find it difficult to get a good job that will help them to build up their own home.

It's some kind of security, false security... the problem many of us face! We have enough for basics and something extra maybe and that gives us enough comfort, risking that for something more can lead to losing what we have now! So we stay where we are... at least most of us who found some peace!

The same goes for me, however, I'm not sure what these good reasons would be to make me move. As a person generally struggling to make decisions, it's easy to settle in a location, job, marriage and so on, just because you're used to it. It's hard to get outside your comfort level. Personally, I often whine about my current occupation, but haven't bothered to apply anywhere else, just because the unknown scares us.

This is one of the reasons I started talking to a psychologist, I'm overly stagnant and rarely make any choices that would upset/change the lifestyle/routine I'm used to.

The problem with most people is that whenever they get familiar with something, they find it difficult to leave that particular thing and try something new. A lot of people don’t like trying something new, once they have familiarized themselves with one thing , they just want to stick with that particular thing and not move ahead or check out other things that are around them.

So, this is a serious issue with most people, and it is not a good thing. Sometimes it’s good for us to leave our comfort zones and try out new things that you can find around us. If you continue with only things that you are familiar with and not try to leave that comfort zone ,  you might not be able to achieve anything.

It is not always things that are related to psychology or how you may not want to move or want to move but fail to do so. Sometimes it is about responsibilities in the nation you are here that keeps you staying in the house instead of going out. Family is the biggest reason for me, I once got a job offer from UK, it is very recent as well, I believe it was either august or very early September and I rejected it because I have responsibilities here that I need to handle.

After that few things happened and showed me how even if I accepted that, I would have paid so much money to move and then would had to come back only 1 month later, or maybe not even be able to move in time and had to stay here. Which is why I have to say that moving is something I would LOVE to do, specially to a better nation but it is something that I can't do even if I wanted to.

This is a sad reality for most of the people. Once they are comfortable with their current status, they will no longer find another option that will make them even more at ease. Instead, they stick to what they believed. But for the newborn millenials, they love to take risks so whatever opportunities they will encounter, they will surely grab for it. And it's a good thing that they are risk takers so they will really find the things that they are looking for and make them satisfied. In fact, this type of individuals are more on achievers but its also undeniable that they are also prone for more losses since they are more aggressive to create profits compared to those adult stages.

Without proper control, this aggressiveness mostly leads them to lose their money. But the good thing is they are not willing to give up right away. They will keep on trying to attain success. It's a good factor being millennia as they are not stuck with what they are currently using, but they are more on exploring potentials.

It can be enhance thru time, if the momentum in learning how to invest or how to find other option to have a better life will be in their mindset, the chance of enjoying what is best for their future family will be secure financially.

This always happen to those people who's been hype and thinking to earn the same way as other who flaunt their money saying they earning a big money by doing this and those new guys follow those guys aggressively.

But as you said maybe this mindset will be enhance thru times since for sure they will learn from their experience and they will take time to think on what action they do so this flaws for early days is just part of learning process which I'm sure all of us went thru this situation.

Basically, humans are never satisfied. but sometimes we see many people who are satisfied with the comfort of the moment. in the sense that they do not want to grow bigger, tend to be grateful for what is already there. but it is different with the young soul who is always curious and wants to try something new, so like today there are many billionaires from young people.

Change isn't necessarily positive, and that's where most people (including myself) chicken out. For instance, leaving my current job, in which I've been working for the past two years, looks like a huge leap to me. I know, that I'm going to get paid each month, with an above average salary, how to manage the job and what to expect from it. However, I'm positive that I've missed a handful of opportunities by staying  stagnant.

It's basically being scared to lose what you already have, moving out of your comfort zone is a copious procedure, not many take such risks.

Interesting thought process paxmao, but you seem to leave your line of thought when you don't draw the parallel between geographic preferences and money preferences, i.e. the reason why they would move geographically (hunger, crime...). The list of reasons is long and to some degree differs from nation to nation, from person to person, but shortcomings in one form or another might make people move to another location the same way they might seek to join a different monetary system, or at least move their assets into another, more stable currency.

If you see your wealth dwindling away because of a specific currency your assets are predominantly denominated in, you are going to try to move some of your assets into a different currency. Now that this isn't easy because foreign exchange can be stopped, you are most likely going to watch out for a completely different monetary system.I guess it is all about incentive, and as the incentive for speculation/investment is obvious, in many areas of the world there are more pressing reasons that will constantly lead to more and more people getting into cryptocurrencies. That, however, depends a lot on the infrastructure and the ease of access and use that will hopefully be provided by brilliant minds and developers over time.

One thing that comes to my mind is Starlink. One could argue that people in rural areas will get cut off the Internet if the government finds out they are fleeing into cryptocurrencies. Or the Internet will be subject to harsh surveillance. But what is going to happen if all those Starlink satellites are in place? Can that even be stopped? Will Starlink be stopped by governments around the world? There is so much change around the corner the implication of which are not so easy to grasp at this point.
