Creating value

[wez]

Over the last 10+ years i have watched a lot of videos on how to make money, get rich, i made money online on the digital game habbo hotel by running a "illegal" (was 'legal' back then) casino.


I kept pushing, pushing, and still ended with 0 money on my bank account. People online simply don't just pay. *(This was after I used the habbo profits for rent and slowly sold it all)



I have noticed the exact same pattern in bitcoin. I even started with dogecoin because i didn't know enough to invest in bitcoin and thought that dogecoin would probably be more valuable in a shorter period. I invested 20 euros, waited and it rose to 0,30 per 1000. I sold all on the dogecoin forum within an hour, made 80euros.60 profit.

I was so hyped I just gave up to earn money. It was too much for me and I couldn't control myself.


I saw the same exact thing with bitcoin on a way larger scale. Everyone jumped in on the hypetrain and people just ignored the manuals, guides on how to farm and simple paid their irl currency for bitcoins. A get rich quick scheme.

It worked. people got rich, some people sold earlier like me because they needed money IRL.


Now. Several years later the crypto world is 'dead'. No digital trades, no hype, no community, just greed and ignorance. No frabrance.


It is like all the original rules are gone and it is just an extra option now. Not a way.

Nobody buys/trades, just boring talking and rich people sitting on their money, afraid of the dips and in constant panic mode.


I know that the digital world is scary, lots of scammers and hackers, so that is probably why most 80%+ simply do not enter that space at all. (I get that, i mean,. imagine having 1m+ digital currency and you cant tell anyone having to hide it.I think it is sad and not the future of value.

When value has been given, people should be rewarded equally. Now it is just 99% of the internet is free, 1% is paid, low quality.

Same as real life; most is bought in china so you pay at least x4 the value, no honesty, wrong sizing, bad quality, because they all want the get-rich quick schemes.

Artisans are still the same, asking so much money for their quality product 70% of the civizalition ignores  it, not worth it

I have seen so many digital artists on youtube  sharing their crafts for free making minimum money. Simply because the people are not rich, have nothing to spare or are afraid to spend it risking their anonimity.


Perhaps I have  found a secret layer of the economy, afraid rich people and knowledgable poor people, i mean, ted talks are free, to visit one costs $5,000 to $12,500. Don't you see how much that is? I remember bitcoin being 50 euros and i didn't buy it because i thought it was too much.

The scale of value is broken and I don't know what to do

ps: i can keep going and talk about the prices on etsy, but i think the general bitcoin community knows digital prices.(and value)

Op you would have shortened the message that you are trying to communicate, you were saying different things at the same time on the thread. But from what I can pickup from your thread is you are talking about creating value by improving on yourself either by capacity development or making investment on the digital and crypto spaces. Value creation means that one should be conscious about developing or improving his current situation by adding new things for the purpose of self development. If we are to add value to ourselves in terms of our finances we should be ready to spend money in in terms of investment.

From your story, seems you see many speculation, hype, fear and human greed. From my experiences wealth can be categorizes by its creation, by speculation or by value. Many people can make money from hype, timing and speculation but it doesn't mean they  can create value which needed by society. healthy financial condition can be build from solving human problem, create useful product or build system that improves the quality of life for others.Todays many seeking liquidity exit as focus not creating value because today world more values sensation /virality than its substance, in other world society which represent market doesn't always reward quality quickly. I think money only representation of our value and people trust, value not gone from society but due to digital information era make hype, distrction and noise bigger which make value hard to discren, we can see it from phenomena of everyone want high quality things but only a few willing to pay the process behind it.

Yeah, this is a car crash of a thread premise. Talking about money earned from Habbo hotel - the problem was you didn't reinvest it in something that grows your wealth further, like a new business or buying shares in companies, instead you just used it to settle bills at the time. That tells me it wasn't that profitable if you could barely use it to scrape your rent together and actually more like a side hustle, but there's nothing wrong with that. You have to look at wealth accumulation differently if you want to be truly free though, the money that you accrue should be working hard for you every day to earn more money and doing it while you sleep - otherwise you're just going to remain a hamster on a treadmill that stops when you step off it.

We keep hearing that a lot but just look at the market is continuing, alive and kicking. The hypes will continue to exist and the narratives that we get per cycle is different. And that shows how this niche is pretty much lively. The trades are actually there and that shows through the volumes that each pair gets from the traders globally. If not going to base on that, the actual volume that an exchange gets is a lot. How much are they? billions? trillions? so much.

I think this is your mistake, as you spend most of your time watching so-called make-money videos online and not getting your hands dirty IRL.
Buying and holding crypto is not a skill. Selling digital products as a digital artist is like entering a red ocean, and if you find these kinds of goods/services priced cheaply, it's just simple supply and demand.
"The world is never wrong" in the sense that people must adapt to survive, even if the world's view is wrong, as you can't change it.
High-value stuff is created through mastery of high-value skills, so pick one and start working.
