For wealth to be achieved, greed must be applied.

[Juicyhome]

Be greedy with your money, you will  grow fast than a generous man that gives anyone that comes his way,  people are not good, when you're doing business you have to be greedy and be ready for abuse ,because many people will abuse you for not giving to them. Especially when you're just building don't start with giving people,  develop well and be rich first. Is when you have enough you can give,  in your struggling day don't be a giver be stingy with your money.

Many people businesses are facing financial challenges today because they become cheerful giver in their early stage in business,  until you're successful keep your money to yourself,  If you go broke  people won't remember how you give to them,  they will be the first to mock you , guide your money with all your heart.

I think to become rich one does not need to act greedy, collect a lot of money in various ways it does not mean you are greedy, as long as the way you do it is right and does not harm others or does not take away the rights of others then there is nothing wrong with that way, the pursuit of wealth in my opinion is more about how smart and hard
You just need to have goals, ambition to achieve them and discipline.

Well, you tried addressing so many things, but I noticed your emphasis was on how making greedy decisions thereby not answering to people's request can help a person achieve wealth. Imo, this is not entirely true. Of course, it's important to set boundaries sometimes, but I don't see it as a primary factor that determines how wealthy you become. You become wealthy from the investment decisions that are already in place.

And regarding discipline, well I'm seen a lot of wealthy people actually spend a lot, so I just don't want to believe that they're not disciplined or they don't know how to discipline themselves. I guess they actually know when to stop and when to continue.

So the next time you call someone greedy take a deep reflection before calling them names because, some of the people we call greedy are not greedy but is only intentional about their finance.

You don't necessary have to be greedy for you to make wealth. Sure wealth can be acquired that way but you can as well earn it genuinely without having to sabotage someone else like lots of people do. Understand good greed in this way, you wanting to eat your cake and still have it isn't right and then you'll see that there are some sacrifice you'll need to do today for you to enjoy wealth tomorrow without having to betray anyone's or be greedy as you're putting it. You can invest and then build on your investment for you to become wealthy. We have had people who have built their wealth without being greedy and those who have built theirs the other way but the choice is yours to make. It'll be better you grow your wealth in a clean route so you can enjoy your money without having to look over your shoulder.

It depends what kind of greed you will have to apply. If you focus on maximizing positive greed, expect that you will also reap a positive outcome. But if you rely on the other way around, by being greedy and take unplanned leverage, you will end up regretting with the outcome. Greed can make or destroy you, so be careful on using greed.

Instead, find balance on everything in front of you. Seize every opportunity that comes, but never reach to the point of being greedy and set unrealistic goals or targets because that will surely won't work in the long run.

That is concerning, that's why business owners are seen to be evil because of those greedy ones. I still believe in doing honest business and that's going to make you wealthy as a businessman. While it's true that people will abuse you if you don't give to them, you have to remind them that you're doing a business and not a charity and so why give them? I think they'll understand how business works and that's why it is important for a businessman to explain to these folks that you're not serving and selling them for free because you've got a lot of bills to pay and why you need to earn and they might understand that after explaining the obvious.

No, it isn't greed. It is ambition and goal-setting driven by careful consideration. While greed can indeed be a factor that pushes us to aim high, it is often uncontrolled and lacks wisdom. Succumbing to greed can actually lead to greater losses, especially in the volatile world of cryptocurrency.

Many people become extremely greedy in their pursuit of wealth. Often going to great lengths to boost their income. While such behavior is not ideal. These individuals usually weigh their options carefully at every step. They have access to resources, financial consultants, and many things that help keep their actions under control.

In the crypto world, however, greed can easily backfire and leave us in a worse position. It all comes down to emotional management. Believe me, greed unmanaged by emotional control is far more dangerous. For greedy newcomers, it can spell the end before they even truly begun. Unless they learn and change. Ultimately, greed is a trait that can affect anyone. It all depends on how we manage it.

I think you're mixing up greed with discipline. Saying no to a relative asking for money every week or not spending on things you don't need isn't greed, it's just managing what you have.

In my opinion, greed is when you want more at the expense of others. And yes, I'm sure most people will disagree with this definition, and just blame people who want to succeed in life as "greedy". Poverty is in the mind.

You are definitely right, there is a big difference between greed and financial management, for one to be successful or achieve wealth you just need to know how to manage your resources, this has nothing to do with being greedy. Greed is simply doing everything possible to have more even when you know that what you have in your possession is enough. As a matter of fact applying greed might end up ruining you financially and an example to explain this would be trading or investment, if you are running an investment and at some point you know fully well that you achieved your target then you get greedy, this clouds your judgement and at that point you would be willing to go the extra mile just to make more money but in the process of doing that you might just be exposing yourself to losses. I also don't agree with his explanation on this about greed.

Exactly, folks kept mistaken discipline for greed . Sometimes you should know how to say No! , for instance you are trying to fill a cup and you kept given out from that same cup without having a steady flow , your cup will definitely run dry and those that kept asking from you and you also won’t have any left  . Is like a scenario whereby a hero is protecting civilians,  handling threat daily. A time will come when that  hero will break down if he or she don’t have enough rest , and when that happens many will suffer for it more than they will if he had rested.  So build yourself first before trying to carry others , and help accordance to your capacity.

To me wealth is more of value . Not just money alone , because money still part of value . Inorder to build wealth you have to first build your mindset first to match that of the wealth you want to build , that’s why many has the money but they kept having nothing to show for it because they can’t manage that , they have .

[Taricoins]

I must be honest, I really dislike this fixation you people have on wealth and wealthy people.
Why have we made money the most valuable thing in this world? Don't get me wrong, I understand how important money is, and I am also looking and working hard for it because I know I can't enjoy life without it, but we have made it the ONLY important thing in life, and it shouldn't be so, in my opinion.
Because of how we have made money the only god, anybody who has money gets a  even though I work very hard for it and need it in my life.

I think the reason it's becoming overbearing and rampant here is because it's the economic page aside that this whole bitcoin forum is dedicated to discussing about bitcoin and finding ways to make profit amongst other activities, in other words, this is a money place if you want to talk about marriage, love, family and society, politics and society is the right page.

For I like talks like this because it makes me focus on something that is really important, which is becoming financial stable

Getting rich is everyone's goal and desire, that some ended up with too much greed that is no longer making you real productive but more on selfish and discontented. However, there are actually people who rise and get rich out from greed, but the effect may not be long term and permanent, unlike if you navigate your life through positive goals and ambitions and create the process, the effect will often be long term.

You don't need to be greedy to be wealthy, you just need to create balance in life and prioritize long term positivity over temporary selfish desires.

[Obulis]

I don't want to imagine how greedy the op is because stating these definitely is from the abundance of the heart.
What you dropped here your psychology and philosophy to wealth.
But there are things that also needs to be gotten straight!
Emotional intelligence doesn't mean no empathy,
Greed is not only found among the rich,

There are poor greedy people here and there just as the rich. A greedy person is a greedy person whether rich or poor. Ordinarily, some are so self centered that the help you gave them can even be turned against you talk more of them proffering a solution to you that you have no contribution to (greedy people) and will offer them just thank you.
To say all rich people are greedy people, for me, is just an excuse or self defense for being greedy.
That you need to be greed to be rich is the height of the defense because if that is true then help, favor and on do not exist!
Favor (not corruptive ones or undue favor), help etc happens which are all opposite of greediness. Benefiting from the help you give someone and greed are two different things. When profiting from the help you offer leaves some level it becomes greed.

Greed is one thing that has left many nations in bullshits!
Greed is nothing good for family, friends and the society at large!

I think to become rich one does not need to act greedy, collect a lot of money in various ways it does not mean you are greedy,

To become rich, it has to do with risk and sacrifice...And that's why in some entrepreneurs novels, it stipulated that a risk takers are liable to be rich...it never point at greedy...It's obvious that greedy someone can lose opportunities to be rich at any time...

as long as the way you do it is right and does not harm others or does not take away the rights of others then there is nothing wrong with that way, the pursuit of wealth in my opinion is more about how smart and hard

You have a point...but i want you to know that to be rich, it come from spring-being...But you have impact to play to enables it to be success..but the most important thing you should know, is that, no riches that comes without Determination, strategies and hardworking...

As far as a business conduct in a free market, where supply and demand determine the prices of goods and other services, I don't think anyone has the right to call any business person evil or greedy. Businesses are not easy, they take capital and time to come to life with a primary objective of making a profit. If they are expensive, people are going to buy elsewhere, and if they are not, they will buy and ignore the price attached to the goods and services.

Recently, there was a movement by some ethnic groups to chase out some Chinese wholesalers who ship goods to Nigeria and sell at prevailing prices, the ethnic groups feel threatened by the Chinese, they are slashing the prices. Meanwhile, the ethnic groups have been selling the same goods they buy cheaply from China at inflated price, some are resold at almost 500%, but as soon as the Chinese came, prices dropped, now they felt threatened. They have protested, but the government has reminded them that the Nigerian market doesn't have price control, it is an open market where everyone is free to trade.

Greed will always be a part of any human being, but the problem is if one focused more on greed, most of the outcomes end up the negative way around. Greed is good, but excess greed is nothing but a huge barrier and distraction.

Instead, focus more on maximizing your potential skills and make them sustainable for long term. Prioritize high-end skills and investments, and in less time, wealth will be slowly achieved. Greed will only make you rush, but timing and discipline will always lead you to something more worthy and valuable outcome.

Jay-Z refused to give his niece a five thousand dollars he asked for, he answer was to remove his niece's mind from his money so he could think of ways to create his own personal wealth. From my observation, if you give to a relative once, he come asks for more again and again untill it becomes a repeatitive habit. Showering such favors oftentimes destroy the receivers strength to hustle.

And so saying "NO" is a good thing to stay wealthy and to relieve others to finding their own wealth too.

[Faisal2202]

But this is not the case with the poor and those who are below that average line. You will see a man, who is struggling with two to three wife's with girlfriends

Haha, that's true. Poor people sometimes have more stamina due to hard work, so you know they can handle multiple wives, GFs too. But rich people usually are the ones losing their girls to these poor ones for one thing and for the money, their girls are theirs haha. Tell me if that's a lie, although this topic is very broad, there is no single answer to it. You won't see every member agreeing, there will be many different opinions on it based on region, culture, and religion too.

The road to the country of wealth is not easy and is not achieved without you offending the usual protocol that, the every day man abides. And that is always releasing money in their possession and thinking that they will receive. The fact is that wealth is created with elements such as greed, discipline, self control which has to do with depriving yourself some pleasures at the initial stage of your life.

I don't believe this, I am a religious man and what you are saying I can't agree with it, especially with greed. Although saying controlled greed, maybe it will suit, because greedy people are those who always save, never spend, or spend only on themselves or their close family members, but occasionally.

Greedy people are always focused on money, they forget humanity in the process. I don't want to mention the same kind doing it live today just for money, but if you wish everyone to be greedy, then oluto20, prepare for high crime. Humanity has saved this earth so far, although people are so evil that even the controlled greed in them means they are a threat to the community. I can understand what you are trying to achieve here by saying just focus on investing, stop spending money on maybe useless things, but that's not being greedy, that's being smart in spending your money, not greedy at all.

Well, I am not going to fault you because wealth generation can be looked at from different perspective however, as long as it is legal means, you could choose to define how you want to acquire your wealth, whether true greed, discipline, and goal setting, helping others, for what have you. In my estimation, there are the basic principles of getting wealth that cannot be overlooked. One of which is having or finding a need in wherever you are and feeling up the need such that people would pay you for that.

[Botnake]

You must also be able to identify the greed you want to imply. Because most of the time, when we say greed, it comes with negativity that won't actually aid in our success. It can be a short term drive only, but after seeing some barriers, eventually the drive vanished.

But when we say we want to apply the greed that is motivating us deep within, that has been there for a long time, and that its open even for negative outcome but eventually learn from it, then maybe that kind of greed is worth keeping. You don't get greedy for quick returns and outcome, but that greed should inspire and encourage you to keep moving forward even if you end up in failure.

If being greedy works for them then that's fine as long as they don't take advantage with other people's opportunities and possessions. We all have different means to get rich in life, but all are done with high consistency and constant discipline. Now if you seize all the life's opportunities but you lack discipline and control, you will still not get rich in life.

Being greedy can sometimes be a great drive for others, while it is a considered a big hindrance and obstacle for many. It depends on the context of the greed we are applying here.
