Power Or Money ?

[Ebede]

So, if you're too choose one, what you down for ?
Power or Money ?

Can't i just have them both, LOL. But on a more serious note, life is more than power or money, i think LOVE is much more important, nothing beats the love of family and friends. But between power and money i think it will always depend on the individual you ask, the kind of family they come from and their country as well. For me i would not really bother too much about power cause of my personality, i would just prefer to have enough money (not necessarily too wealthy) to take care of my family and loved ones so that we can live happily without financial problems.

But the question just like condition that you are to choose one. The two is same thing because Money and power is same thing no body can have money with out power and no person can have power with out money, i know love is more expensive than power and love is connection with any one, from the question love is exceptions

In today's world power can't be maintained or sustained without money being involved. Be it traditional or political power, someone with enough money can buy your traditional power with better money the kingmakers mindset can be changed likewise when it comes to the Political aspect political power can be attained with the use of money.

Like they say,"those that controls the economic aspect (money) of the society also controls the political decisions of the state".

There's the possibility of you having power but with no money but should you have money (wealth) it comes with power itself.
So I should prefer having money.

For money answereth all things.

Money is everything,  power can't get you everything in life because even if their is power you can't use the power to intimidate everyone because it is not possible for you to be the one with the highest power. I would prefer to get the money to be okay in life, money is what every man needs in life , not just power.

[Agbe]

Power is an abstract idea that is floating in the air. And anyone can acquire Power at anytime and anywhere. When you talk of power or money, you are bringing two entirely different concepts. Yes. Power brings money and money brings power. They are pariperture. In the Biblical inference, Solomon was thinking of what to ask God and finally he asked for wisdom. And wisdom brought everything he needed. Therefore, from your title or question, I prefer taking money because money brings everything plus power more than power brings power. If you have money, people will work for you and you do what you want. But if you have power only without money my brother that is useless. Nobody will come close to you. And might only be dictator without followers.

There are different kinds of powers in the world.
Political Power
Economic power
Military power
Physical power
All those powers are under the control of the economic power.

[Proro]

Money and power can not be separated. Show me a man that has money and I will show you a man that has power. Even the Bible say money answerth all things.

Power is an aphrodisiac (according to scientists), which means you have easier access to high-quality pussy.

Money does NOT answer all things sir.
Money could get you almost anywhere and anything you may want but not everything. Money obviously talks but not everyone listens when it does. You could have all the money and still have no real power cause your money could be gone or it could be rejected and there goes your power. I know for a fact that money doesn't "answereth" all things. Money isn't everything you know.

Money is answerable for everything. Except death, and some times money buy fixed life in order, it is some body that don't know the power of money will dislike money or will say money is not power, using political campaign or contestants as example, if you have no money no political group will allow you to be their qualify candidate or aspirants. Today in the world no president of country that does not start from some where. at least have money before having political ambition

[Zlantann]

I suppose you mean political power? I don't want political power that is targeted at oppressing but to serve the people and free them from poverty, sickness and oppression. The kind of power expression that one see especially is Africa is a disgrace to the concept of political power. Political officeholders now see themselves as demigods. Instead of serving the people, they are lords over them. I detest this abuse of power.

Money is good when is acquired legally. I want more money but not to live an extravagant life. I need money because my desire is to meet my needs and touch people positively around my community. Flamboyant show of money is not my own view of money.

For your question, give me money because money gives you power.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

To me, power without money is useless, because a man said to have power can at some point be told to shut up simply because he has no money to back up his words with cash in the society we find ourselves this days, as currently power and money rule the world.

So i think before deciding  which one I will choose, let me throw small light on these two concepts (money & power)

** Power is simply the ability to influence or direct the behaviour of others.
While
** Money is a commodity generally accepted to be used as a medium of exchange of goods and services.

So of what value will it be to have the ability to influence the action of others but no commodity as a medium of exchange???

So for me, I choose money over power.

Voluntary compliance is the way people willingly give their property over to the power sharks.

[White billionaire]

Power or money?
I'll say money is power!!!
People say over abundance of wealth can cause many problems in our lives.
Having a lot of money can make life easier and comfortable.
My advice is "In all thy gettings, get money"

[n0ne]

I'll say Power. When power reaches you, automatically money accompanies. Being into the power gives the access that can't be brought with money. This will let you make money through the power than having money in hands. Beyond all this money and power you need to be healthy enough to enjoy it. So, good health is the key factor above all this secondary substance.

[Freeveto]

Power is Power,
Money is also Power.

So, if you're too choose one, what you down for ?
Power or Money ?

I go for money , because you hardly get recognized if you don't have money, in some places before
Power will be given to you, they have to look at your final status before they will reason to give you power.
Money can bring you power when you don't have power while the reverse is the case with power, Where it's less likely you get power when you don't have money.

[Nerdy doctor]

Most replies and contributions on this topic indicates money is preferred to acquiring power. Most see having money as the most important thing as a reply on here stated that money is everything.
I know fully well the social class upgrade and all other affluent things that could be achieved with money in your pockets. While reading some replies on here, it's obvious that money controls the thoughts and actions of men and I'm not anymore surprised at why money is preferred.

I think anything that influences your actions has some sort of hold over you.
We should control money and not let money control and corrupt us

[yhiaali3]

For me I choose money of course, because money is the real power, money is the first driver of all politics in the world, look at all the wars in the world and you will see that the real reason behind them is to get new resources and new wealth, even in current societies look well you see money is The engine of everything We see merchants and businessmen are the real engine of politicians and men of power in any country, money gives you real power.

Bitcoin is something radically new. Nothing like Bitcoin has been possible so far. I would go so far as to consider it sui generis; "in your own class". This makes it important to understand what Bitcoin actually is before we try to describe it to others. We get a good handle on the code and, of course, the function and utility of Bitcoin, but what words should we use to describe Bitcoin itself? There have been some debates in other threads [mainly my doing] about how it is like/not like money, cash, dollars, etc. I want to start this thread by focusing on the term "money" and play Devil's avocate by asking for your best arguments that Bitcoin is money.

The powerful understands that money is a psychologically charged, and that it's also a vessel of politeness and sociability.
They make thr human side of money of weapon in their armory. Powerful people knows the fundamentals of money and they transfer and circulate money to bring influence and power. lots of people out their are using money but no creatively and strategically as this are mostly portrayed by powerful people.
Being Generous also plays a role in power, as it attracts people, soften them up and makes close allies out of them.
Powerful knows that becoming greedy never pays.

So as for me, It's everyday Power! Power takes you to another level, if you keep the rule's at your finger tips, people might hate you for how you even behave.

[Desmong]

Is there any difference between money and power? Money works hand to hand with power and I don't think there is anything much we need to deliberate about. Money gives power but power give money but not in all circumstances. We should have it in mind that power could overtake money. Just like a government of a state that does not have money compared to the richest man in such state. There will be a big respect for the person on position.

[Lordhermes]

Money is the must significant thing that every human being need to make in life because money  itself is power and without money man cannot live a better life.The moment a man starts to have money,power automatically follows it because every word that comes from his mouth will be respected by people,and when one is conscious of the fact that he is rich,arrogance and pride starts to pop up.Money is used to control everything that revolves around us,that was why God said money is the root of all evil,but I can also say that lack of money is the root of all evil.
A man without money is a man without power,while a man with money has all the power on earth.
