Money is power and knowledge is also power

[Oshio-man]

In the world today, money plays a major role in development. Without money someone cannot be developed. On the other hand you can have money but without knowledge your money or wealth is nothing . These two (factors) work together for someone to leave a comfortable and a conducive life .

I agree with you that the two are very important to humanity because before you will be counted among financial people and knowledgeable people living in a geographic area those wealthy and knowledgeable people will be the names you will see, they have what it takes to develop their environment by giving people in that environment what to do to achieve wealth from their investments while those wealthy men will start helping people in that environment with some capital to establish them for business without collecting an interest from the capital, poor financially and also poor in knowledge is not a life anyone should pray for in life because it will make such person or group of people useless in the environment.

If by knowledge you mean educational qualification then I have some disagreement here. If a person is financially well then if he does not have much educational qualification. Then he can go far in life with experience. People can learn a lot practically and gain experience which is much more useful than educational qualification. I see many investors and entrepreneurs who do not have much education but they have gone far with experience. They are living a successful and beautiful life.

Yes you are very correct experience goes faster than educational qualifications, a will educated person but lacks experience can't be compared to a well experienced person that lacks educational qualifications.  Educational qualification is never a direct ticket to success as over the world now, most world richest persons never gain that Educational certification but where blessed with great experiences that later created some opportunities for graduates to be employed. Some great examples are the likes   of bill gate the foundder of Microsoft, mark Zuckerberg  the founder of  Facebook,  Steve  job the founder of Apple  and so many of them. I am not saying academic qualification is not good but should not be regarded as highest when comparing it to experience as experience is very much important.

That is entirely possible, and you do not necessarily need a degree or a university education to be successful. However, do not underestimate the value of knowledge gained from school and qualifications.

I have also heard many people say they know entrepreneur or investor who have become wealthy and happy without a degree. But my question is, why not us, you or I? Why do stories like that seem to exist only in the example that people keep repeating? Is there anyone here who has become wealthy and successful without a college degree or college education?

I agree that such people exist, but in my opinion, they represent only a very small minority. Therefore, we should not imitate them just because of a few rare success stories.

In my personal perception, a person only has power if those around him know that he has a lot of money. They become kind to people they know have a lot of money or are rich people; they do that because they know that they have something to gain from a person who has money.

Now, I can't say that knowledge has power either, because many people have extensive knowledge but don't use it correctly, so the result is that they don't produce much profit either.
But a person who has only a little knowledge but is strategic in life, which is the reason for him or her to have a lot of money, looks more knowledgeable compared to a person
who has extensive knowledge.

[Bigjoe158]

Money and knowledge are two different things. The definition of money is different from that of knowledge meaning that the two are not the same . The world revolves around money and knowledge that is why you see so many innovative scientific advancements
(1)Money is any generally accepted item—such as coins, paper currency, or digital records—used as a medium of exchange for goods, services, and debt repayment. It acts as a store of value, a unit of account, and a standard of deferred payment, simplifying transactions and enabling economic trade.
(2)Knowledge is the awareness, understanding, or familiarity with facts, information, and skills acquired through experience, education, or perception. Meaning if you have money alone  without knowledge then you are missing what knowledge is all about and if you have knowledge alone then you are missing what money is all about . Both are powerful tools for self development but something still standout which is money . You can have the whole knowledge of the world but without money your knowledge is lost. you need money for the research of what you have learnt or aquired. Money is the engine knowledge needs to progress to the next level.

For the current conditions, knowledge will always be viewed much higher because in addition to being a self-defense for us, knowledge can also be designed as one of the things that can print money for the future that we think will do because for the difficult economy now knowledge can be one of the sources of how we will get money.

But on the one hand consciously or not, when there is a condition where we are faced with a situation of choosing between money and knowledge, it is likely that some of us will choose this one.

The reason becomes simple where we will feel that we can get knowledge anywhere and anytime even though this is an important part but we still seem to underestimate it just because we can get it another day differently when the choice is about money because chances are they will try to get it especially in a simple way and without things that they think are troublesome.

[Mate2237]

With money you can buy the knowledge that, you seek. In our today world society has made it in such a way that money is what is valued the most at the expense of knowledge. A man that has no knowledge will not be regarded no matter the amount of knowledge such a person may possess. Today you don't necessarily needs to have the kind of knowledge that you need to start anything, as far as you have the money you can assemble people with the type of knowledge that you need and get what you want.


Knowledge is power but knowledge without money in our today's world is powerful, this is a fact that people should come to terms with if you  are to be respected, then you should have money because, from what I have been able to come to understand is that you will not be respected much without money in your pocket.

To truly wheel power and be able to sustain it, you do you need to have both as having just one of it could mean a crumbling empire.

Wealth has being built by those who were able to invest in ideas. Ideas that felt abstract and didn’t make much sense to many but did prove to be life changing in the end.

The rich could be controlled by people with knowledge so long as, they don’t have the knowledge that you’ve got and they find it fascinating. So can the rich control those with knowledge but, all that changes when these knowledgeable individuals eventually become’s rich. They tend to find means to use both of what they’ve got go become even more powerful.

[Ziskinberg]

Nowadays, if you have no good amount of knowledge, its hard to make money as well.

Knowledge remains the best foundation, followed by skills and strategies development because you have built knowledge in the first place. And when you have successfully developed them, good things will easily follow, and accumulating good amount of money and wealth will be not hard to achieve then.

With knowledge, money is possible. But without it, making money seems a very hard struggle.

Having knowledge is very important because if you just have wealth without it you might not be able to retain the riches that you possess. Having knowledge is important because it also gives you ideas on how to multiply whay you have. A lot of people only prioritise getting rich but they don't really think about seeking or gaining information that can keep the wealth they are working towards. knowledge is power and this is not just a common saying because it is actually facts, it is dangerous to live without it

[yhiaali3]

Yes, I agree with you that a person who suffers from material and intellectual poverty is destined to fail, but money and knowledge are not necessarily synonymous with success.

For example, a wealthy person who inherited their fortune from their father, without any knowledge or experience, can succeed by employing numerous experts and academics using their money, who then manage all their affairs on their behalf without possessing any expertise themselves.

Also, a knowledgeable person can become rich through their knowledge and hard work, as they can acquire money through their expertise or by borrowing, then start their own projects and succeed.

I think money and knowledge have a funny relationship. Money without knowledge is like giving a sports car to someone who doesn’t know how to drive, it might look impressive for a moment, but sooner or later it’s going to crash. Knowledge, on the other hand, is like learning how to drive. Even if you start with a bicycle, eventually you’ll find your way to a better vehicle.

In crypto this is even more obvious. A lot of people come in chasing quick money, but the ones who actually take time to learn how things work usually survive long term. So if I had to choose, I’d invest in knowledge first. Money can follow later, and at least this time you’ll know how to drive it.

However, if you have knowledge but lack money or capital, your investment journey will also face many challenges. Meanwhile, if you have money, knowledge is not such a big problem. Most knowledge is free and if you have money, you will have more ways to access it and learn faster.

I believe most of us are in the first situation. Most of us have the knowledge but are limited by the capital to take advantage of market opportunities. Therefore, if I had to choose, I would choose money first.

Whichever way we choose to look at it, money is definitely a form of power, but knowledge is also a very strong kind of power. Both of them work together in real life. This actually reminds me of a scene in Game of Thrones when Sir. Baelish A.K.A Littlefinger was talking about power. He genuinely believes that knowledge and influence were power. But Cersei proved a point. She ordered the guards to seize him, cut off his head and then stopped them and ask them to release him, and told him that Power is power. In that moment, it showed that real power is the ability to act and control situations. Although logically in real life situations, money can give you that kind of power, but without knowledge it can easily be lost. At the same time, knowledge without resources can limit what you can do. That is why both money and knowledge are important if someone wants to live a stable and successful life

Money and knowledge are a powerful combination when we master them by knowledge, I mean financial management.
Someone who has an income, perhaps even their own business, and possesses a solid understanding of many things including how to invest their money to make it grow is truly blessed, because not everyone can do that.

Most people, when they have a large sum of money, will immediately spend it on whatever they want without thinking about the future. While fulfilling those desires is natural, we should also be able to prepare for the future.

Knowledge they said it’s powerful, money also has power , if a person lack both , life can be somehow difficult, imaging having knowledge on what to do without money to execute it , money has a major rule to play in our society today , most people are aware in alot of things, like , Bitcoin investment, business etc but when you don’t the capital to start, it becomes a big problem, but if anyone is fortunate to have the both , things will be more easier, than one who has only one of it,because both goes hand in hand .

Yes, and they do have that different approach on things once neither you do have money or knowledge or having both which is the best. We do know that money could give out that power on which those people who doesnt have will really be having that less rights for sure or capability on doing something on what they do have in mind. When you do have the money then you can do everything you do want but of course it would be that detrimental on having knowledge as well to make that money to worked and something that would be used in the most efficient way. For those who doesnt have that enough financial capability but having the knowledge then they can achieved out such better financial status but thats if they would be able to succeed on utilizing that knowledge on which of course we dont know that anyone would be able to achieve it out or not. So it would really vary from person to person.

In overall, it would be best on having both as much as possible on which you do have the money and you do have the knowledge and its best that those capabilities isnt something that would be using it up on the wrong way on which we know that there are people who are that abusive once they would be on this state.

[abhiseshakana]

I think beside knowledge and money, it will be complete if we have real action to change knowledge into value. Without movement, our knowledge will be useless. but i think knowledge is more valuable than money because money only give faster development but the frameworkd created by knowledge. In today world i think we don't lack knowledgeable people and people who have money what rare is person who is good and true and dares to speak the truth. In these open technolog area,  oportunity to increase intelectual and financial capacity are opening widely for everybody. What we see now, when see injustice they choose to keep silence, they live in their comfort zone and refuse to use their influence to fix the world. In reality moral courage, integrity, empathy and have strong value are super rare. Without these rare character, knowledge and money can not be benefiting society.

It is like two people, one has knowledge and the other has a lot of money. Money is used everywhere but knowledge succeeds where money does not work. For example, when many of our great scientists are not able to work by investing so much money, they need knowledge that how it will be solved now and that is why different questions keep arising in their minds. Those who have money will prefer Bitcoin and other big investments and those who have knowledge will explain Bitcoin how it works. If someone does not have both of these, then in reality there will be difficulties for him for every question he has. If someone has one, then he should get the other. It is easy to get money from knowledge and it is a little difficult to get knowledge from money. We have to keep both with us and for this we have to work hard and use our own brains to know how to get it.

[Mr_Brilliant$]

Yes oo, money plays a big role in life today, but money without knowledge can disappear very fast.. An also, knowledge without any financial strength can still limit someone..

The real advantage is when someone build and have both together, for those trying to build wealth, gaining knowledge while also building wealth little by little.  While for those who has already gotten money, the knowledge is then needed to manage it.. this balance are really needed..
