5.00 CGPA or 5 BTC?

[Sandra_hakeem]

What are you talking about dude??
Acquiring high CGPAs in school doesn't make you better anyways - where you at? Cus your country of resident matters alot too..(y'all be seeing that pretty soon as a waste of time and resources) not because others aren't allocated offices to work in, but because ^(r)you gotta have someone with GIRAFFE HANDS; learn to accept this bitter truth and swallow this dark,gall pill as early as you can... ain't no body struggling to get a degree for survival except otherwise ^(r)
meanwhile, you don't need some more years of tutoring and graduation with a high profile to own BTCs - just HODL and learn the process... I'd see acquiring grades in school as a second thought, no matter where I am.

There are too many factors in the middle of the two choices.  And many of the factors are heavily dependent on each and every one of us.  It is mostly all about risk taking and choices.

Some body may consider risking their entire future by using all their Assets to buy Bitcoin and hoping this will bring more Wealth than any form of education or job would.  This is not good nor is it bad.  After all it is our responsibility to pick what we want.

None of it is guaranteed however.  Is there an actual guarantee that a better form of education will bring you a much better living standard?  It may, but how long will it take you to recover all the 'loss' which is money spent on education.  What would happen if you do not invest in education but purchase Bitcoin now instead and wait for a few years?  Maybe it is better if you do this.

On the other hand.  It is possible that you finish a reputable form of education and you get a salary well above average.  That is the perfect scenario however.  The one where you have a salary so big you probably would not even care that much whether Bitcoin doubles or not any more.  That is very rare though and you have to be realistic.  From all I wrote above, only Bitcoin has shown a real cycle of previous record breaking Investment returns.  Every body who purchased Bitcoin and held are now more Wealthy.  Not every body who finished a good degree is now a millionaire.

Then there are people who do not even get to finish a degree because they already found a way out of the regular Joe life.  They do not own Bitcoin nor do they have a degree yet they make a ton of money and some of them are even younger than me or you.

After all.  In the middle of this all there could be fate too.  My point is that nothing is guaranteed.  You could purchase Bitcoin and something inevitable and very rough happens within the next year to Bitcoin.  Who the hell knows.  Some random guy invents the unthinkable and gets to compromise the security of Bitcoin.  There goes your investment.

Or you could get a degree and by the time you get a well paid job Bitcoin is over a million Dollars already.  Who knows!

It is my point of view however.  Take it as you wish.

Hmmm, yeah, I'll take the 5 BTC. I'd say it opens up a lot more opportunities compared to that 5.00 CGPA and can give access to more knowledge of whatever you need in comparison to what the school that gave you that CGPA does, though I guess it depends on what school. Might be the same though idk I never studied in a big uni except for CS50, which was a great course btw.

Anyway back on topic, even if you got the top grades at your school, you'd still need some luck to be able to even get a good entry-level job. And yes, you're a top student, but that doesn't exempt you from being only a choice among countless of choices. You may argue that you can take a low-paying one for experience but that just proves that the 5 BTC is way better than the grades itself.

Maybe in the past when information was only accessible to the rich and the higher class, people would choose the 5.00 CGPA. But with how things are? With the internet being there? Countless guides and whatnot on the internet? People would 100% choose money and study at their leisure.

[Troytech]

Bro give me those bitcoin and I'll build myself and have even better grades, who would prefer grades over bitcoin, many graduates don't have any bitcoin, some are even aspiring to have , you just want to play on our greed I get you 🙃, even a child knows the right pick, we are on the bull run and we know what having bitcoin means to us, I think every bitcoin enthusiast would chose bitcoin over any other educational standards bro, and besides that shit is over rated, unemployment rate in some countries are just too high and cost of living even higher at this point bitcoin would solve more problems for us than good grades.

[wallet4bitcoin]

This is really a food for thought. Having a full thought on this, I will say 5.00 CGPA why? Cause one can get to improve more on their skills and acquire more skill set. That is one can work in any industry and acquire more pay.
But with 5 BTC one will just have just a fixed number, what i mean is, any time btc goes up or down that's the whole amount you  have but with a 5.00 in a good field you can tend to grow what you earn.
 However, I still think this is not something that is debate-able for those in my country, especially in this trying times where we are seeing a hike in inflation and economy crisis. I’m sure majority will go for the 5 btc without hesitation the economy has guard up our survival instincts to a whole different level. The system has made us to believe that you have to go through the educational process to get a good life and be responsible. Good thing we have a lot of prominent people who do not have a degree to determine their wealth, we now have a lot of young people who are ready to give  up going to university or college, if they have a paying idea or skill or what ever that makes them income.
 Although, this does not dispute the fact that education is ìmportant, we should give credit to the smart and intelligent ones because, their time and effort of being the best should be rewarded accordingly. Well, which would you rather go for if you had the chance,  would you rather chase a degree, get good grades to work in an industry or quit school and accept 5 BCT, what's your opinion?

In a saner clime, people will most definitely go for education and they CGPA option but the world has left saner climes and its pursuing after success, so, if we deploy the current strategy and understanding of modern day society, we will say that the 5 Bitcoin is the better option, why, it can afford to send you to school anyways, it doesn't matter what degree you graduate with.

You can also decide to equip yourself with a skill from the 5 Bitcoin. I mean, you can literally restructure your life with the Bitcoin so why opt for CGPA when you'd still be able to afford it much later.

[Darker45]

If I were a student today, and with good grades, and asked to choose strictly between these two only, I would readily choose 5 BTC and quit school immediately. I think I won't even think twice. I'd be very happy to do it. The 5 BTC is the obviously better choice.

With 5 BTC, I could buy a piece of land near the city center and build an apartment or a commercial building. That's regular money for me for the rest of my life. And what can 5.00 CGPA or a degree give me?

And with the money that I can earn monthly from my business, I could even go to school until I get old and get all the degrees that I want. During breaks, I could go on vacations. Can 5.00 CGPA and a degree give me this kind of life?

[pooya87]

This brought me back to the primary school where they asked us to write an essay on "which one is better: knowledge or wealth". I always found it absurd that you had to choose between the two, why not both? Basically knowledge that is not capable of creating you wealth is worth nothing and wealth that doesn't produce you knowledge is also worth nothing.

We've seen stupid rich people who lost all their money and we see poor scientists who live a terrible life.

The missing ingredient is wisdom. With wisdom you can put both your knowledge and money into good use, grow them both and improve your life and the life of others too.

[BALIK]

The question here is: Is everyone interested in those grades? There are people who are obsessed with academics and want a good grade because they believe that with such a grade they can achieve whatever they want in life. That works for most of them. 
 
There are also people who are focused only on learning how to read, and chasing those degrees is not that important to them; they are more focused on developing themselves with skills that can be beneficial to them. They believe in practicality rather than going for those grades, which they don't see as necessary. We are all out here for different dreams that land on almost the same goal.
 
So if you are to ask someone who only needs to build up their life, develop a skill, and chase their career, they will choose the 5 BTC because it will help them achieve anything they need very quickly. It's a lot of money to set someone up. 
 
Whichever way, one thing you need to know is this: getting a 5 CGPA as a grade does not guarantee you success; no company is looking to employ a certificate; rather, they are focused on who can bring in productivity and help them achieve their aim. You can have those grades but still lack the skills needed to fit in on today's labour market.

Likewise, if you own 5BTC, there is no guarantee that you will have a rich life or that you will be smart enough to turn 5BTC into 10BTC or 100BTC and bring you the rich life of your dreams. Just like many people win the lottery and become poor just a few years later.

An advanced degree does not guarantee you a bright future, but at least you will have more opportunities than many people without a degree. And have you ever asked the question, why can't you earn a big income compared to many others? It can be said here that there is no right or wrong choice, it will all depend on each person's choice because both are good choices.

[Shishir99]

Fuck CGPA. I want 5 BTC right now! LOL.

I never believed that a Good CGPA could determine how talented or skilled a person is. I am saying this because I grew up in a family where my family members were illiterate. They didn't know how to write or read. They got me school admission but I wasn't regular in my school. I remember that I didn't go to school for a long time and I started studying right before my exam and I passed. My classmates were always going to several teachers with notebooks in their bags and they were spending a lot of money. At the same time, I didn't go to school and I was playing cricket. I remember those days bro.

Most of those class toppers are just doing nothing and some of them got a chance in some companies where they get a good salary. They got higher CGPA does not mean they were more talented than me. Some of them even failed after spending a lot of money. In comparison, I was only serious during my exam. I am glad that I am in a better position than a lot of them. Thanks to almighty.

[Majestic-milf]

 It's only a select few that would choose CGPA to Bitcoin and I won't blame them especially if you come from my country. CGPA is just a grade that without the right connections can only take you so far or it won't, but with 5 Bitcoin, that's a whole lot of money! The essence of getting good grades is to be able to work in a reputable company and get good pay, huh? Well, I could use a portion of Bitcoin and establish a company, that way I have not only landed a job for myself, I also have Bitcoin and have been able to become an employer of labour to these CGPA earners.

[m2017]

Well, which would you rather go for if you had the chance,  would you rather chase a degree, get good grades to work in an industry or quit school and accept 5 BCT, what's your opinion?

Degrees (or positions) are not the main thing, but only as a tangible bonus that allows you to raise your standard of living, but skills are a more important “tool”. A degree (or positions) without skills is a hollow dummy. But skills (skills) supported by a degree (position) already give considerable power in changing life for the better.

Money (bitcoin) can depreciate, be stolen, lose access, etc., etc. You don't need to bet on just one horse. It's good to have savings (conditional 5 BTC), but you need to continue to improve professionally in your field. It is a very valuable asset because it cannot be taken away, lost or devalued. Anywhere in the world (almost like bitcoin), if you are a good professional, you can apply your skills.

I don't like questions that ask you to choose from two or more options. In such cases, the thought arises why it is impossible to combine and the most powerful combination may look like this: skills (abilities) + degree (position) + savings (5 BTC). Separately (in various combinations) this also works, but not as effectively. You need to choose the best for yourself from several options. There is no need to limit yourself to just one.

[pinggoki]

With the current mindset that I've got, I'd say that I'd rather have that 5 BTC rather than a really good GPA because what you're trying to say that I can achieve with that GPA can also be achieved with hard work anyway meaning that it's a stupid thing to pass up on the opportunity to possess such amount plus even if you got that, you're probably lacking in connections to the career that you want excel in so that GPA is nothing, if you want to really be excelling in your career, what you need is to be good at talking to people or building connections, with that in mind, you are excelling in your career and at the same time you're hodling 5 btc and you can be sure that you're getting a really good future no matter what.

[lovesmayfamilis]

For me, education and finance have one common focus. So what if a person owns a large sum without understanding how to increase it? Let these five bitcoins grow in price, but in the future, managing them also requires knowledge. Likewise, a talented person does not always have the opportunity to fully reveal himself since he does not have the funds to develop his business. What is better: intelligence and poverty, or being rich but stupid? When looking at life from a practical point of view, you need to choose Bitcoins and start learning what to do with them so that they don’t run out.

like what is CGPA compared to what 5 BTC can bring to the table, and what is the reason we are going to school it is because of money, and Bitcoin can give us that single-handedly, and this current world a good CGPA will only make you work for people that did not even go to school that is just how life is and with bitcoin coming on board now have reduced peoples interest when it comes to education because one of the reasons we are going to school because the reason for school is to finish get a job and make money. and school is stressful and after spending so many years trying to acquire a degree at the end of the day you don't make money it won't be funny at all. cricket is even more profitable because you will earn well look at footballers collecting a huge amount of money weekly and that is why after finishing have lost interest in school.

[NotATether]

CGPA does not directly correlate to a better job, since it depends entirely on the person who has it and the job they are going to take, so why are you comparing two things which are fundamentally different? 5 BTC is like $250K in these current prices, of course you know which one everybody's going to choose.

It's like asking someone to choose between a college diploma or 5 BTC.

That's true; a high GPA doesn't guarantee you a future, nor does a college diploma. On top of that, GPA and paid universities are US things; if I'm not mistaken, most European countries don't work that way. There's zero correlation between bitcoins and grades; thus, there's no reason to compare the two. Everyone is going to choose the money over some meaningless GPA because college also requires a ton of money—no money, no college degree. You can have an average GPA and still do fine in college and land a decent job, with or without a degree; something you do as a teenager doesn't necessarily have to reflect your whole life.

People from my country have to laugh when they see this because, as things is I don't think no one will ever choose a CGPA instead, they will all go for five bitcoins. there are people who can work hard in school to achieve a 5.00cgpa but choose to graduate with a point below 5.00cgpa voluntarily. And again In my country, CGPA is not valuable unless you have a strong connection before using it to get a job.
I once entered a taxi and the driver told me he had graduated with first class from the same school I graduated from and he told me how difficult life had been after he passed out from school. Just imagine that same taxi driver had one bitcoin. How do you think his life would change?

We study hard in order to get good jobs and make more money, so if I have five bitcoins, I won't worry about it anymore, I'll just start investing.

CGPA always calculate as 4.00 point not 5.00

A highest point on your education certificate is not a big matter. you need some potential skill to survive in the world by achieve potential job. so I don't care high pointed educational certificate. in the other hand if you have 5 Bitcoi. then you are already a rich man so now if you have skill or a potential business idea then you can go ahead and success on it. so in this case i always support for 5 Bitcoin then high pointed educational certificate

[leonair]

CGPA always calculate as 4.00 point not 5.00

CGPA is calculated in 4 or 5 points as per the rules of various institutions in different countries.  4 or 5 it doesn't matter as long as it is specified that the maximum score will be 4 or 5

A highest point on your education certificate is not a big matter. you need some potential skill to survive in the world by achieve potential job. so I don't care high pointed educational certificate. in the other hand if you have 5 Bitcoi. then you are already a rich man so now if you have skill or a potential business idea then you can go ahead and success on it. so in this case i always support for 5 Bitcoin then high pointed educational certificate

Yes it is true that educational certificate without skill has no value in job market. So everyone should keep an eye on the skills before the certificate.  1 Bitcoin is now equal to 52 thousand dollars so if someone owns 5 Bitcoins it would be equal to about $258k. no matter how big the degree, everyone has one goal to earn money.  So if someone can get 5 bitcoins. without getting a degree if he has skills then he don’t need any educational certificate with CGPA 5 out of 5. I agree with you on this point.

If you hear someone saying that you don't need those college diploma or credentials since you are earning good online and you can acquire those digits you mentioned then think again.

We can still continue to earn online while acquiring educational attainments since once everything fail on our online side hustle we still have high credentials to get a high paying jobs. We need to prepare for the worst since we can't control our fate that's why its important to acquire all of that if we can so that we can assure that we still have good future to look forward. Maybe some other people got overwhelm with their income today but once they start struggle to earn for sure they regret not getting those and they get totally broke.
