Re: MONEY!!!

Happiness in our life comes through money. If we have money, people in society value us. If we do not have money, people look down on us. Money is the measure of status in society. Money fulfills our basic needs. However, excess money sometimes becomes a curse. Then our loved ones are no longer human. Money blinds us and we forget to judge the good and bad of society.

Re: Are Hotels Safe?
by

on 12/04/2025, 02:32:03 UTC
Accidents can happen anywhere, be it in a hotel or at home. But we try to keep our homes safe and if any problem arises, we solve it immediately. For example, if an electrical switch, gas stove or generator breaks down, we quickly repair it for our own needs. Since hotels earn money by serving people, they need to strengthen their security systems to maintain the reputation of their hotels.

If the reputation of the hotel is damaged for any reason, they can suffer a lot of financial losses. Therefore, to strengthen the security system, hotels should have adequate equipment.

Re: Enemy of progress/success

I think the key to success is risk ". No risk, no gain." Those who have entered the ocean floor and reached the sky are infinitely brave.
They are not afraid to take risks in life, due to which they have become world famous today. Recently, we all have heard the name of Sunita Williams. We have heard the story of her conquering the sky. By conquering fear, she has become a role model for the world. Again, in business, until we make a decision, we cannot start any business or work.
Many times, we wait for the right time, but because we do not know when that right time will come. As a result, we delay taking decisions, due to which our success is also delayed.

It is very difficult to find such great leaders these days. They think more about their own interests than the welfare of the people. By committing corruption, they forget about the country and the people. However, a leader is a leader of the nation.

Re: Crypto Is Scam!!!
by
Xril2024
on 08/03/2025, 08:07:38 UTC
So says an ignorant fellow.
Hearing people talk about cryptocurrency as a digital asset, made me think how was this asset manufactured? It turned out David Chaum's effort to enable anonymous transactions led to the introduction of ecash, in 1990. This is an easy find, it doesn't take much look to get information.

Well, recently I started looking and correlating it with the globe being a digital village, I am still learning though.

Isn't it awesome how some crypto projects are geared towards solving real life problems. Interestingly, this space evolves. This is a clear pointer that there must be something about cryptocurrency.

Rather than read to acquire knowledge someone sits in the middle of their ignorance to declare crypto a scam. Like they were forced to accept cryptocurrency for a transaction.
I think the fear of the unknown and unwillingness to try new things got some people bound in fetters.

Now, haven carried out a few transactions successfully, I am convinced, hence my interest in this space.

With the little knowledge of crypto that I have, I am wondering how someone can be in the dark and feel comfortable about it. Worse off is arguing blindly over what they know little or nothing about.

Is this the case of a closed mind, or ignorance, what exactly could be this?

I believe the Internet is a home to all who seek knowledge, even though you might get lost if you are not guided.

Are we still in the era where people condemn what they have no knowledge about? Or crypto is actually a mirage?

Just venting and open for more. Tell me what I don't know.

What do y'all say?

Many people still do not know about crypto currency or Bitcoin. Those who have heard a little may not know it well, which is why they often make negative comments. Meanwhile, those who are involved in the traditional financial system do not want to get out of that system easily. As a result, they also do not like crypto currency. But anyone can commit fraud in these traditional institutions. However, crypto currency or Bitcoin is a completely transparent and decentralized platform. No one can commit fraud here if they want. However, caution should be exercised when trading. And it is important to choose trusted platforms for trading.

Re: Is buying Bitcoin safe?

I Really want to know if buying Bitcoin is safe? If yes when should one buy Bitcoin

I think you are talking about investing in Bitcoin by buying Bitcoin. If you have knowledge about the basics of Bitcoin and its history, you will understand whether it is safe to buy it or not. And there is no right time to buy Bitcoin. You can buy it at any time using the DCA method. If you buy this way, you will not be affected much by the changes in its price. And if you can hold it for a long time, your average price will improve a lot.

Re: Why btc still slow and expensive ?
by

The PoW process is especially used in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. This process keeps the blockchain secure. In the PoW process, the decision-making power of the blockchain is divided among many miners, so it is not under the control of a single party. It is a completely decentralized system. No one can control it alone. But PoS can maintain the advantages of fast transactions and energy efficiency. However, this method can sometimes create the risk of centralization because in this method, large stake holders get more control over the network.

Bitcoin is a very volatile process. No one can accurately say whether the price it is going to be at today will be the same price tomorrow. No matter how close a friend I am at work, I don't tell anyone to invest in Bitcoin. If the price they bought it at today drops tomorrow, they will think I cheated them. I cheated them out of their money. In that case, I will fail to convince them that if they hold it for a long time, its price will increase much, much more.

Re: Bitcoin, a digital Gold? I see it as inappropriate!
by
Xril2024
on 19/12/2024, 17:24:29 UTC
Comparing Bitcoin with gold, I would say that gold is a physical asset that has its own value and people use it. On the other hand, Bitcoin is a digital and virtual asset that has no physical existence and is only traded on a digital platform. Gold is a very ancient metal. But Bitcoin has only been around for 15 years. However, both are used for almost the same purpose. That is to "store value". They are used to maintain value in the long term, especially against inflation.
