It ain't meant to be easy

[xSkylarx]

I believe that we can develop our hobby in parallel with our main job and quit work only when we have managed to develop our hobby well enough. Bitcoin is a good investment, but it will be meaningless if we do not have the funds to buy Bitcoin.

The same thing to running a business without enough capital to sustain. Because investment doesn't give us instant return we can fully rely on it, maybe months after. That is how important to have a least another source of income to back it up while waiting for our business or investment to grow. We can just quit working on other people if we are really ready and when our investment/business can already support our living. In order to have a good living, we also have to make multiple sources of income which is somewhat hard for poor people and I feel how hard it was.

It is true that no business investment is possible without sufficient capital. Investing in crypto is good but we have to wait for a long time in investing, if there is no source of income then no one can live a normal life. Income is one of the most important aspect of our life money is needed to carry on other activities to meet basic needs overall development. If you have enough money to keep investing in a currency like bitcoin and have a source of income it will be easy to back up as the price of bitcoin increases and you will get good profits.

Ive seen in a lot of documentaries that they are living in the forest so that they can escape the city but still they are needing to sell some products so that they can buy food like rice for their daily needs. In today's generation income is crucial to living no matter how big or small. Without a source of income it is close to impossible to live or if we can we will struggle on a daily basis.

If you are planning an investment and are still short on money to invest in it is better to not push it through because it is not enoug  so probably it will fail. As long as you've already accumulated enough money that you can afford to lose and is also enough for an investment that is the time that you'll need to push through as long as you've already gained knowledge on what you are investing in.

Nothing in life comes easy.  Hard work is behind every success.  It is not possible to achieve success in anything quickly, be it business or anything else.  Must stick with hard work.  Don't be disappointed in the slightest.  Success requires patience.  People without patience do not succeed.  Suppose you are running a business where you unfortunately lose, then you don't leave the business!  Learn to keep up.  And new ways have to be found.  If you face a loss by investing in bitcoin, do you turn your face away from bitcoin!  Of course not, you have to explore. Learn more. Follow the previous successful people.  'Life is not a bed of roses' should be remembered.

[Dunamisx]

If you previously made an investment in Bitcoin and you lost, it doesn't mean you should give up on Bitcoin; learn from it and re-evaluate your decision

But unfortunately, not everyone that want to become rich could understand this process that making an investment takes risk ad you may failed from the first attempt but when you realized the cause to that mistake you made, you could possibly avoid any further reoccurrence of it, many were afraid of try again because they made a wrong step on their first approach, this also is part of the reason we always encourage that we keep learning each day about bitcoin and try as much as possible to avoid making mistakes from our end, it's more better learning from other's experience than ours.

Life is tough for most people, many times during a lifetime. Not many people have an easy life, some think having money makes life easy. Being rich gives you opportunities & you can buy material things but it won’t buy you happiness. Regarding crypto, making money is not easy, unless you get very lucky day trading then you are probably going to have to be very patient & HODL for many years. You will go through character testing dips where your net worth plummets. Patience will reward those of you who are of strong mind/will.

Imagine your life when you're still young you have time to enjoy things like hanging out with friends and everything but when you become an adult things will change instantly cause you have to be matured and start building yourself finishing your school and get a good job to earn money in order to survive it's good if you're rich already since you have no problem in financing your needs and wants but for those who can't afford easily to provide their own you need to double your hard work.

[Bitcoin_people]

Of course it takes a lot of effort to implement the plan we have in life but it is possible to succeed. If we want to get a degree, build a career, then we must spend knowledge and thereby fulfill our dreams in life. Many kinds of obstacles can come in building your career. If you run away from them, you will never be successful. This is a beautiful example of why we spend our time here on this forum mainly to advise others from our own knowledge to gain knowledge. Moreover, many people advise us, if we follow these advices, then it is possible to fulfill our life goals. Also if we gain knowledge and advise people from our experience and expertise to get some good education then surely we can earn merit from here. Of course we have to put in a lot of effort to qualify, only qualifying is nice and the Rank can be changed. So we must spend enough effort and time to fulfill the dreams that are left to be fulfilled in life accordingly only then we can reach our life goals.

I think that when we are young before responsibilities, we have a lot of opportunity to hang out with our friends and enjoy everything. The main reason for this is that we have no responsibility and whenever one has no responsibility on his shoulders, he can enjoy life. Their lives are lived in abundance, because they do not know how their household expenses are managed and how money is earned. Of course, after completing education, everyone starts working hard for the rest of their life in peace and looking for a job or business,because we were living our lives easily before completing our education.

Now, instead of being a burden on others, we have to be a support to others.Now we have to earn money ourselves to meet all our needs and wants. Surely those who inherit a lot of wealth do not face much problem.People who don't have wealth need a lot of hard work. Hard work is a prerequisite for living your life easily. Therefore, every person can become rich due to his hard work, and certainly many rich people have become rich after seeing poverty, because they have earned wealth through hard work in their lives.So I think we should always believe in ourselves and our hard work.

So don't think Bitcoin and Bitcointalk are any different from life.
You may look at a forum member with legendary rank and you want to achieve that, it's good that that motivates you, but you have to know that they didn't just achieve that overnight. They learned, grew, improved themselves, and improved others to get to that level.
Whatever you want, work hard and smart for it because it won't be handed to you on a platter.

For those that place a lot of importance in forum rank it can be frustratingly slow to rank up if you're not purposely hunting for merit by spamming a bunch of threads and jumping on bandwagons to support opinions held by prominent high ranking members. I can see how newbies might become discouraged. For me I've noticed that I tend to receive merit on topics where I've gone out of my way to do some research and gain a better understanding.

If you want to have success then it is worth putting in the effort necessary to achieve it.

When we are young we can spend our time on things like you mentioned, but it would be better if we spent the time we have hanging out with people who can make us develop in a better direction than before because if we only spend time to hang out with people who don't make us better will be very detrimental to the time we have. Getting a good job is everyone's dream to be able to fulfill their needs because without doing work that provides income, this will be very detrimental to us even though we have a lot of wealth because without being able to manage it well, it will all be gone.

Nothing in life comes easy.  Hard work is behind every success.  It is not possible to achieve success in anything quickly, be it business or anything else.  Must stick with hard work. 

Not everything in life is hard to get, Hard work isn't behind all success some success came from working smart and not hard. If hard work was really the path to success then all the handymen, construction workers and others that do hard jobs would had been successful in life but they aren't. Also you can achieved success in somethings quickly depending on how lucky you're. Yes the majority sees life as not been fair and hard but that doesn't mean the whole world sees it that way too. We have people that are loving it here on earth without sweating. Some people inherited wealth by just been born in a wealthy family. Life was meant to be easy but we complicated things and now we're suffering for it.

Let use the forum as an example, while you struggle to rank up due to the merit system, we have people that didn't struggle since they were here before the merit system was introduced, this set of people got to their different ranks by just been active and probably what they were writing weren't making sense but it counts for activities. We shouldn't over stress ourselves, life can be taken from us just as it was given. The most importantly thing to do is to enjoy yourself and make sure you're happy where ever you're.

Everything you have explained is true, however the life cycle between one person and another is different in various forms because both are traders but their income is still different because of their cleverness in arranging ways to gain lots of profits. Yes, in this side of life, there are many things that can change someone to become successful more quickly without requiring a long time and also for some of them, they have to try for decades to achieve this level of success.

Well, at certain points we can take several wise things to make changes in our performance to achieve success. Indeed, nothing can be achieved easily, but everything can be done in a short time if we already know the best way to get a process in building ourselves to become more successful people with the various businesses we do.

I agree with you, where we start from varies and it surely affects our journey towards our goal. Moreover, there are also a bunch of other factors that is like this. It is best to remember that we have differences that sets us apart from each other and draws a different path and time line for us.

There is likely an error and even some dangers in thinking if you think that there are any kinds of solid ways to become rich and/or successful more quickly.. so surely having persistence is good and working towards making progress is good, and many times the true value of richness and success takes a long time to play out, including experiencing the value of compounding.

Frequently getting rich and having success is being able to lessen the impacts of mistakes - even though it is likely true that some people will end up experiencing great streaks of high levels of progress by being in the right place at the right time due to some of their preparations.. and perhaps some luck as well.

Well, at certain points we can take several wise things to make changes in our performance to achieve success. Indeed, nothing can be achieved easily, but everything can be done in a short time if we already know the best way to get a process in building ourselves to become more successful people with the various businesses we do.

I doubt that success if even guaranteed either.  There are a lot of examples of people doing the right thing but still not being successful.. so it is hard to guarantee short-cuts in terms of success and richness, even though there are quite a few practices that can likely increase odds for success and/or the making of progress towards greater success and richness.

In this case, I think there is a wrong thinking when we think that youth is free to do anything and often try to hang out with peers but do not get something that we can take as our capital in the future. On the other hand, it does not mean that when we are old we cannot gather because something like that can still be done, it's just that when from the beginning when we were young we did gatherings that were not very useful so that until we grow up we gather with peers also only do things that are not important but when the right upbringing and having friends of the same frequency when they are young and can be something positive then I think it will be much better and more able to bring us towards a better course.
So the mindset from the beginning when school or at university needs to be changed because most of us now think that the period at university is only to spend youth but we never realize that after that we have to be required to survive in the rigors of life.

Right I agree with you, honestly I also never thought like that, I mean I absolutely do not think that there is something or anything that can guarantee success, yes it's true as you say sometimes people who have processed very correctly are not uncommon some of them are still failing, but I will not fully say that they have failed because it will all come back to each individual. if they are hardworking and always struggle on the way to success then some of the failures they might experience I think will not make them retreat, even if they are a fighter soul then they will be more eager to move forward and make failure a lesson, if indeed they are hardworking and always struggle on the way to their success then some of the failures they might experience I think will not make them retreat, even if they are a fighter soul then they will be more eager to move forward and make failure a lesson that will always be a very good assumption. So I think in this context there will never be a real failure if indeed they are strong fighters in various conditions. I believe that the process will not betray the results (for hard workers).

I honestly don't believe that there are shortcuts that can lead us to real success but not with a process that is so draining and mental. If there really is such a way, maybe now there are many of those who have succeeded instantly, but in fact there is always a hard sacrifice first to achieve it. In my opinion, getting success in an instant way is never separated from the strong luck they have.

Success will always require sacrifices, in our case it is mostly mental and emotional sacrifices. It is truly an exhausting path to achieve success. We will face countless of rejections, loss, hurdles, and problems that puts our plan down and completely change the way we want our path to go. Hence, in our decision we have to make sacrifices if we do tend to continue forward. Moreover, after achieving a bit of that success, we will have a sense of feeling like it was not even worth it with everything we had to go through just to get there, the exhaustion and defeats. Hence, it brings up the question of whether or not it was really a win. Life is just like that, in one perspective you'll feel and believe that everything was worth feeling and going through, while there's the perspective that shows how exhausting things are and questions if our wins are worth losing a lot of things.

Perhaps what is being discussed here is the issue of time and indeed we must be able to manage time very well. We need to be able to manage when we should play and enjoy life, when we should be serious, when we should work hard and so on. It must be balanced, because maybe we will feel bored too when we only have time to work. And the difference may be when we are still hipup alone and when we already have a small family, because the responsibility will also be greater, not only thinking about yourself but the family, especially if we are the head of the household.
If we are accustomed to such things when we are young, I think it won't be difficult to adjust when we are older and have more responsibilities.

[Blowon]

crypto does make it easier for us but it doesn't make it specifically easy. This means it also makes it easier for criminals to carry out their actions. we can't control that. the best thing is that we don't become evil because of it. and we still use this to make our work or daily needs easier.

[Luxana]

Certainly some important points you have brought up through your post, the main purpose of education is not to get degree or get a job and the only purpose of posting in forum is not to get merit. ‌Don't just post to earn merit, post to learn something and keep reading other's posts only then you will learn about Cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin. If you don't have a complete understanding of cryptocurrency then what will you do to increase your id rank. 

If a member makes an informative post then I don't think he needs to worry about his merit, if it is an informative post and if some other member learns something new through that post then that member must give him merit. 

If earning only merit is the main objective then no we will not earn merit we will not know about anything our post quality will be good. So spend time on the forum to learn something yourself and try to inform others about something new.

In fact, anything can be used as a crime depending on how the person uses it, not just Crypto, but whatever it is, there will be opportunities and spaces that can be exploited by bad people and we are back to our initial goal in Crypto, whether it is to facilitate transactions or make a profit. in trade and investment.
And it all comes back to ourselves to simplify what we want and what we meant from the start.

People who have evil intentions will always commit crimes wherever they are and I don't think that needs to be denied because not everyone likes doing that by using something like crypto. We just need to use crypto wisely or as something that can make our work easier so that crypto can continue to run and develop over time with a wider range of users.

Now the crypto space can be used as a way of helping to achieve better goals for each of our lives. Because everyone can choose better jobs in the crypto space such as trading and investing with long-term targets so that there is a better income for each of us in the future, so there is no need to think about those who commit crimes through crypto. Because this is not a good thing and does not need to be an example for everyone.
