Take good care of yourselves

[CryptSafe]

As the saying goes "health is wealth" it is only a healthy man that can create or make wealth for himself. As we are in the journey of life trying to make earns meet through bitcoin investment, jobs onboard this platform, our professional engagement, our careers etc it is good we take good care of our health because it is only in good health we can think well to make the wealth.

Engage in regular exercise, go for regular check up, stay hydrated, avoid too much alcohol, avoid smoking, give your body enough rest, these are the few tips i can say about but you can do a research to get more tip. It is important that we take it serious as so as not to breakdown unexpectedly.

It is only some one  alive and healthy that can be able to eat of the fruit of his or her labour.

TAKE YOUR HEALTH SERIOUS!

[michellee]

The important thing is that your life must be balanced between having bitcoin and living healthily. You can't live frugally by trying to buy bitcoins. It's just not worth it. You should have a healthy life, and then you can try to make money and buy bitcoins as your investment. Live your life well while you have a bitcoin investment that can provide benefits in the future. Your life will be successful if you balance everything and enjoy life.

And if you need to sell your bitcoins to make ends meet, do so because it's the most important thing in your life. So enjoy this life with your bitcoin because life is only once, and we must enjoy it. But it would be better to sell your bitcoins when the price is at its peak.

But I feel wrong about saying that the government can kill bitcoin? in what way and how? The view that lies in me is that bitcoin will never die if electricity and the internet are still used on this earth.

It is still possible that the government will kill bitcoin, if all governments join forces against it. If they did, it would be very simple to destroy bitcoin, but the bitcoin problem is not a threat as serious as terrorism that they have to find a way to destroy it. So the possibility of that is almost non-existent, countries will be for their own benefit, so if bitcoin is beneficial, there are still countries that use it.

If all the governments were united in stopping Bitcoin, they wouldn't be able to do it. There is very little chance that the governments will unite to stop it. Bitcoin has many economic benefits and they have proven it.

If for them Bitcoin is a threat and tries to stop the Bitcoin transactions through removing internet connection in their country, they are wrong. With the help of Lightning Network, Bitcoin transaction is possible through radio waves. Therefore, we can say that these time Bitcoin is unstoppable.

If you have to spend your Bitcoin to stay alive, do spend it, you will get another.

Yes, agreed..The importance of living life to the fullest, as time is not on anyone's side although Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may offer financial opportunities, it is important to remember that life is limited and taking care of yourself and your loved ones should always come first.

[HajiBagi]

It is very foolish to have money to invest in bitcoin but not enough to spend on yourself because you can't hold onto anything for a long time if you are not in good health. Make sure you are capable of making any investment before you consider it. For example, make sure you are in good health and have enough money to take care of yourself. Even if you invest in bitcoin, you sell it when the market rises and you're satisfied with your profits, despite claims that holding bitcoin for an extended period of time is the best way to make money.
Investing entails having wealth that you don't want to use at a particular period of time and being content with who you are, I suggest know more about bitcoin before making an investment, cause person who is unable to invest before spending money on themselves is not knowledgeable about investing.

[Adbitco]

Well holding is a thing of choice and spending is also a thing of choice, leaving properties depends on the individuals because in developed countries parents always have a lawyer who would read out his properties according to his willing amongst his childrens. Only a local country and villager could behave the same of illicit taken what doesn't belong to them if their relatives dies. In the Western countries' there's always a lawyer who backups your properties and information to their children, either when they become of age; Taking good care of ourselves is something we can't hide from, and there is i always said "Anyone who can't take good care of himself whenever him or she breaks down they will definitely do that".

So why do we make investment and savings?
Practically we do that for our future use and also to solve any issues that fast arises, however money is meant for spending and taking good care of ourselves to living a healthy life.

[GeorgeJohn]

Actually I considered your point of view as advice to people who is curious over investment than maintaining of the life, actually anyone who is into cryptocurrency investment especially long term investment has money that can sustain him or her, before someone venture into investment that will gives a million dollars its obvious that the person is living a good life. This advice should be noted by our newbies who is extremely conscious of making millions for investment without been curious of feeding the stomach properly, we need to take care of our bodies during the time of investment, because money is in the existence before our arrives on earth and it will also remain until we return to maker. Think wisely for crypto investment.

[Lucius]

We all have this dream of becoming a Satoshi millionaire, many people have the target of making their first 1 million dollars and yes that's a good thing, this is possible with crypto and Bitcoin and I am not here to discourage you.

I think that many people simply aim too high, and there is a saying that says "he who flies high, falls low". If someone thinks that $1 million will solve all their problems, then they are greatly mistaken, because that money will melt in the blink of an eye, because the more money you have, the faster you will spend it.

I have seen people taking this holding of Bitcoin too far, where they are doing all they can to accumulate Bitcoin. Like limiting their spending by all means, eating less food, and doing harder jobs, I just want you to know that we are living on borrowed time.

That's one of the human flaws, they grab and collect so much that they don't even realize that their life has passed without them doing a lot of the things they wanted to do. In the end, fate plays with them and everything is inherited by someone who doesn't appreciate it at all. Therefore, I agree that everyone should live in such a way that they do not deprive themselves of some basic life needs just because you think that the price of BTC tomorrow will be higher than today.

In the end, we should use Bitcoin as much as possible as a currency, because that's the only way it will fulfill its purpose.

[Despairo]

This is why I never say it's bad to spend your coins to feed yourself, family needs, health, college or something that will make your life brighter.

Bitcoin is good as an investment, but it can be used as a currency too. So if your financial are still not stable, it's fine to use your coins and you can hold it until your financial already stable. Learn a new skill to get a job with better payment, don't miss a good chance if you can do it and you need to sacrifice few thing.

[Zilon]

Hodling is not for everyone. A Bitcoin hodler should also have something else that should sustain and fund their daily expenses, possibly something that will drive their attention away from how much worth of Bitcoin they own. That way it will be more easy to hold for as long as they wish without fear of depriving themselves anything.

If there is nothing else that generates income for a Bitcoin holder then they have no point holding because they will own end up depriving themselves their basic needs as well as the good part of livelyhood.

[Fiatless]

Take Good Care of yourselves.  Happy Easter

Eating a balanced diet, good sleep, and constant exercise are very important to everyone. There is no need of holding your Bitcoin when you or your family members are dying of hunger There will always be many opportunities to buy because Bitcoin is still in its early stage. Medical attention is also important. Sometimes because you don't want to spend much on medicals some persons engage in home remedy practice or self-medication which is not proper. We should not also engage in different jobs because we want to invest. These jobs will always overstretch us and make us miss rest, sleep, and exercise. Some people sleep less than four hours per day because they want to earn and invest more in Bitcoin.

People will always say that they want to live an inheritance for their children or they want to make their children financially stable. How are you sure your children will make proper use of these investments? We should take care of ourselves because we have just one life to live.

I share the same mentality as you - life is not just about making money and becoming rich. Having a lot of money and reaching a million dollars is not the ultimate goal of life. I believe that someone who has a sufficient amount of money in their bank account, lives in happiness with their family and friends, and spends money on things that make them happy is achieving their goal.

Just sitting with millions of dollars in your bank account while your life is miserable does not make sense. It all comes down to your mentality and how you can make your life better.

Life isn't ours forever, take good care of yourselves, it is better to enjoy your labor than working all your life and leaving it behind for some people who aren't friendly to you while you are alive to enjoy your sweat.

I am talking from experience, since my father died, everything he worked for, all his properties was taken over by those who despise him in the family when he was alive, since we have a very weird culture in the family we the children can't do anything about it.

As you rightly say, everyone should enjoy their life. While it's important to work hard, one should also prioritize their health and happiness, By the way, I'm sorry to hear about your father, and I hope his resting in peace now. It's true that no one knows when they will die, which is why it's essential to live a happy life, with less stress and much love.

[lovesmayfamilis]

What happened to your father? He left you with tons of gold and millions and you are not friendly to him?  I just wanna make it clear, it does sound like you are not done with your sentence.  

If I were in the place of the OP, I would send you in the ass, because you are ironic not only with a smile but also with a speech, over the grief of people. But your nickname speaks for itself, no wonder.

Thanks for the thought, today we will all be more aware of what to do after your words.... lol

What is the OP doing wrong? Why so much cynicism?


OP, I'm on your side, you're right about a lot of things. Our parents live for the sake of their children, constantly saving for themselves. By old age, having accumulated some capital, some become victims of ingratitude. Not all children understand that everything they give to their parents will have to receive as a boomerang in old age. Some simply consider themselves eternally alive.
But you are right that you should not deprive yourself of everything. You need to live, trying to please not only loved ones but also yourself. After all, if we do not love ourselves, then we will not be able to make others happy.
Waiting for a profit from Bitcoin, putting your life and time on the line, does not always end colorfully.

[karmamiu]

I am talking from experience, since my father died, everything he worked for, all his properties was taken over by those who despise him in the family when he was alive, since we have a very weird culture in the family we the children can't do anything about it.

I can literally relate to this since I didn't have a father an a early age, and I also have the same situation as my relatives split my father's allocated inheritance to all of my relatives leaving only a small plot of land that me and my 3 siblings have to cultivate. When I was young, our family was always taken advantage by our relatives (father side) since my mother doesn't have the power to retaliate given that her position isn't that well off in our household a lot common in an eastern household/tradition, and due to that some plots, harvests and even opportunity given are not passed down to us. I am the oldest grandson in my father's side, and the funny thing is that my father is also the oldest son on their family, but at that time that they are milking us all the benefits, they just immediately assume that I was young and underage at that time and I still don't have rights to complain, so for the sake of "management" they took the liberty of managing it on behalf of my father (blatantly scamming us). At the very young age I am already aware that they are milking me and my family, I also once confronted my grandmother and mother at that time, but they just couldn't help it. Although it felt bad at that time that it even reach to the point that I was even threatened by my uncle which is the brother of my father, now after so long, they no longer have the voice to speak in every family gatherings, in fact I am the one already dictating most of the family decisions now and even my grandmother's properties.

I was all aware this whole time while gritting my teeth and sucking my thumb not to take revenge but to be able to reverse the table where my odds are against. I know it's really hard, but on those times, I learnt to be independent, struggle as hard as I can, and be responsible for all the decisions I made. Now, I can gladly say that I have survived and will survived whatever comes.

To be honest when push comes to shove, there is no one ready to be there for you, there might be some but for  sure they will have reasons not to fully help you, you'll just have to learn to live with this and struggle and I do really admit that one thing that really matters is to take care of yourself along the way.

[m2017]

Truly, can’t argue with OP here.

It is necessary to balance between making money and enjoying life. You can't always chase after the accumulation of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, sacrificing your present, hoping that one day this will make you a millionaire in the future and then you will live a luxurious life. If it is possible to save without harming yourself and your family, then why not do it. But if there is an urgent need for money, then there is no need to be stingy and part with currencies with a light heart. For example, NicNacCoin did just that - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5448104.msg62059702#msg62059702

Bitcoin is a tool that allows you to achieve your goals, but not an end in itself.

[Davidvictorson]

Bitcoin is going to outlive everyone of us so I see no reason to have the mindset to hold it forever while depriving ourselves of the finest things of life. Of what use is accumulating bitcoin to create wealth through holding at the expense of your wellbeing? Life in the present, take time to enjoy what you have assiduously worked, the fruits of your labour with family and friends because nothing is promised and nothing is guaranteed.

[Bananington]

Life isn't ours forever, take good care of yourselves, it is better to enjoy your labor than working all your life and leaving it behind for some people who aren't friendly to you while you are alive to enjoy your sweat.

Truth is that even if you will your bitcoins to your next of kin, they may just squander away it all ten times faster than it took you who suffered to buy and hold it spent.

Bitcoin has a longer life span than our lives, we are going to leave Bitcoin behind one day unless the government finally killed Bitcoin  .

This is a very true statement.

If you have to spend your Bitcoin to stay alive, do spend it, you will get another.

If you have to spend your Bitcoin to save a life, do it, this is not the end.

If you have to spend your Bitcoin to have a better life, do it, Bitcoin or Crypto isn't the only way to become successful.

I try to keep my bitcoins bad long as I can, but if I have pressing needs that I know some percentage of my bitcoins can solve, I do not hesitate because I know that it is only the person who is alive that can really spend and use bitcoins.

In taking from my bitcoins, I try not to empty my portfolio, and before I take, I always have a strategy to replace it.

[xSkylarx]

It hit me pretty hard right now. I mean, while reading this, I was really struck by this, not in bitcoin but in my work-life balance. I mean, it is very stressful, we don't have leaves, and even on holidays we still continue working. I will be taking an emergency leave tomorrow just to relax and try to recover from my stress. This is a good reminder to those who keep grinding just to earn bitcoin (i am also one of those as having is 1 year away), so we should have time for ourselves like have a drink and have fun! I am just glad that I have this kind of behavior, like having celebrations every month, but when it comes to work, I would not be taking a leave because my job is my life.

This is good to consider since we consider it as cryptocurrency so we should at one way use it for what it is intended for. It should be used when there is nothing that we can do to get money to be used for important things. This can prove how this digital currency can be useful in the daily activities that we can do.

Hodling is not for everyone. A Bitcoin hodler should also have something else that should sustain and fund their daily expenses, possibly something that will drive their attention away from how much worth of Bitcoin they own. That way it will be more easy to hold for as long as they wish without fear of depriving themselves anything.

If there is nothing else that generates income for a Bitcoin holder then they have no point holding because they will own end up depriving themselves their basic needs as well as the good part of livelyhood.

I agree since we should never compromise the basic necessities just to have a portfolio of investments in cryptocurrency. Basic needs should be the main thing to consider. We should always assess our financial capability. Assess how well you can provide your needs since what's the point of holding the coins if you will have hard time in dealing with your financial obligations. It is indeed important to always put ourselves first and always take good care of ourselves.
