Re: AI Spam Report Reference Thread

Another account that periodically turns to the use of AI. This does not happen regularly; however, a lot of posts are detected by detectors as being written by AI.

I just got to see this thread and I'm not very happy about it. Is it that when someone is stating too many facts or giving his honest opinion about some topics then it's been mistaken for an Ai? i've never for once used an Ai to enhance my writtings, I'm a graduate and I take my time to study things, make research and put it to my best understanding.
 I've been writing to my best quality and quantity always since I became a jnr member in this space, so why would I use an Ai to enhance my writtings when I know the rules and regulations of this space and that I would get me banned completely. You should read those posts with your own human knowledge and you'll see that, that's what a normal human could write and not an Ai, I'm not disputing the fact that the Ai tool is good but check through my post history and you'll observe that I post to my best understanding and also based on research, I don't copy paste or use Ai to enhance my writtings, it's just my common knowledge and not Ai generated.

What you are saying is not true. I went down your posts and there are at least two different writing styles: one is more personal, looks like written by human being and the second is more formal, depersonalized. So if to use a detector for the first type of posts they expectedly say that the text is 100 written by human, if to detect the second ones it says that the text is AI written.

English is not my mother tongue and despite that I can easily see the hugest difference in two writing styles in your account. I'm sure that an educated native speaker will say the same.

When you come and start lying it looks even worse than if you didn't come. You'll probably get even more tags. The correct way of solving the problem is to stop using AI at all and not lying.

By the way, to add a tag for AI usage, let's add another example to what lovesmayfamilis provided. Probably you didn't know, but AI is not a human being and doesn't create new things by itself. It uses texts from the Internet. So when detect it by plagiarism tools it usually shown the plagiarism pattern. So let's take one of your recent posts which you stole from the AI:

   Since bitcoin is getting popularity due to inflation crisis all over the world, any day and any time of the day is best time to buy bitcoin. For a long-term investment, a particular hour does not matter since in the long run price will increase. For a short-term investment, keep in mind that bitcoin price hourly fluctuation has no regular pattern. If you believe in value prop of Bitcoin then it's always time to buy, put some money aside every 2 weeks and buy it which will average your cost, you can't guess ups and downs. If you want to make quick money by buying and selling at the right time, then no one can guess, and everyone who claims they do, they are lying. The problem now when we are in a bull market is not to FOMO as there will definitely be corrections on the way up. And when you see a such correction then it may be a favorable time to buy Bitcoin. Keep in mind that Bitcoin may go for a prolonged time without experiencing corrections especially in strong bull markets like the one we are now.
  If you believe in the long-term potential of Bitcoin and can afford to hold through market fluctuations, buying now could be a sound decision. Remember, Bitcoin has shown resilience and continuous growth over the years, often rewarding patient investors. However, if you prefer a more cautious approach or if you anticipate a potential short-term dip in price, waiting for a favorable entry point might be wise. Conduct thorough research, keep an eye on market trends, and consider consulting with financial experts before making any investment decisions. Ultimately, the decision to buy Bitcoin should align with your financial objectives and risk appetite. Whether you buy now or wait, remember to invest only what you can afford to lose and stay informed about the dynamic cryptocurrency market.
Then we use the plagiarism detector and see that big parts of this text are taken from the other web sites.

I'm not sure that this is enough for a moderator to ban you, they usually want bigger parts and bigger percentage from the same source, so I'm not going to report this post, but this result additionally to what lovesmayfamilis found is enough for me to tag you for the AI usage.
Talking about pattern of writing, when I joined the forum I had little knowledge of the mode of operation, I was writing based of the patterns I see from some old members before me, but later I became more advanced and understood the forum better so I had to formulate my own pattern of writing and that's what I've been using for a very long time, I think you should consider that as well.
 Moreover I'm an English speaking person those words you made bold, are normal words based on understanding a normal English speaking person can come up with, atleast if you said I plagiarised there should be a link concerning where I plagiarised from, or is doing research and writting in your best knowledge a crime? I've been a active member in the forum and I won't jeopardise my chances here by using AI, you should put that into consideration too.

 I feel pity for the innocent guy that might still be in police custody due to his mistake and ignorance, such situation have put a lot of innocent people out there in a big mess. That's why I'm the last person that would patronise fairly used gadgets, I love to buy my gadgets from  the slot or a recognised gadget store where I'll be sold brand new devices and issued the appropriate receipt for the items. And that's cause I've heard awful stories of people that's been victims of the same circumstances therefore I've learnt from their experience.
 The recent one of them all was when a guy shared some experience of how he almost got into police custody cause of a stolen item. In his own case he was neither the buyer nor the seller, but was an apprentice for a  phone repairer who happens to be the third buyer of the stolen item. The actual item was stolen from a rich fulani merchant whose brother was in the Nigerian army and sold to two other people before it finally got to the phone repairer.
 Luckily for the guy narrating the story he was able to escape when noticed some military men grab his boss, they intended taking everyone in the shop with them to the guard room but luck was on his side that day. However buying a fairly used property can be very risky due to such situations and people that indulge in such act needs to be very careful not to buy the wrong item.

Re: Do you think Bitcoin can end poverty? In a nation today
by
Youngkhngdiddy
on 09/04/2024, 21:43:03 UTC

There is no doubt beyond this proof that what you said is reality about poverty it's not absence of money that make person poor but mindset example many has the resources , money but still poor due to inability to harness what they has from their mindset. No body can go out of poverty when your not highly articulating on investment that can move you out of that very condition.

BTC can improve the economic conditions of the nation and it's citizens if truly they harness the resources and invest wisely avoiding wasteful resources unprofitable area of life endeavors.

People with right thinking which or good mindset venture into investment and they changed their financial obstacle, just as those that started BTC it's their thinking and future clavoyant that make them what they are today, more for investment may not be huge for a start but may turn out mighty ocean at the end all lies in the hand of person with right thinking.
  Imagine you are in poverty, barely enough money to get by, going to bed hungry. Living on the edge. Now, you don’t eat for a few days, you scrape some money together. Are you really going to put it into a risky and volatile financial instrument that you do not understand? Or are you going to buy food, clothing or shelter? Please, everyone, give up on this pipe dream that somehow crypto helps pull people out of poverty. Anyone that believes this really does not understand poverty at all. If you live in poverty you don’t risk your money on things that you cannot immediately take advantage of, life is day to day.
  I’m afraid crypto cannot solve this kind of problems. Right now by the majority crypto is seen as a way to protect savings. This is the reason why we can see the burst of crypto purchases during crisis. But it has no influence on people’s wealth. To have it and to be able to exchange it to anything you have to buy it.  The problem between poverty and money is not the form or type of money that is being used, but rather how that money is distributed and accumulated. Cryptocurrencies are still prone to the same problems that are prevalent in liberal market economies. CEO salaries are still questionably exorbitant, tax havens exist, special interest groups have large sway over governments, low-income earners have stagnating income against rising inflation rates, and a whole host of other problematic issues. Just because people are really starting to embrace cryptocurrencies, there is no clear indication that cryptocurrencies will have any meaningful impact on lowering the amount of people in poverty.

Re: The person who can’t control emotions in gambling will never earn money from it

On the time that you are winning up on gambling then it would really be that so hard for you to quit up right away or you would really be making yourself that quit up completely or call it a day. One of the main reasons on why gambling industry is really that profitable just because gamblers are highly impulsive when it comes into their emotions on which they would really be always having that kind of approach towards gambling.
If you are someone whose really that treating gambling as some sort of income making or could make you rich then you would really be finding yourself that desperate and this is something that should really be avoided in the first place.Dont make yourself that delusional because on the time that you would really be having this kind of approach then 100% you would really be messing up your life with it.

Gambling should really be just that for fun and not something that you could really make it as a source of income or making a living with it. There's no way that you could really be able to make
yourself that to happen. It is really just that for leisure and dont expect something else from it.
  The emotions can be adrenaline, excitement and pure ecstacy. The thrill is what keeps you coming back along with the thought of winning money. Eventually gamblers can desensitized themselves to these feelings, which can also make people bet high amounts of money to get that thrill back. As a gambler myself, the trip home after loosing a huge amount of money can give anxiety, depressive thoughts and feelings, anger at one's self, and a feeling of hopelessness. For problem gamblers, it isn't just the experience we chase, it's the accumulation of money is a short amount of time. With all these emotions, feelings can take over and really dissociate the gambler to their value of money. When you go back to the ATM to chase your losses, the internal dialog could be similar to “it’s just money who cares”, when the whole goal is to win back what you lost.
  If you do not have the mental fortitude to do something it only means that YOU don’t have he emotional strength to handle it. This doesn’t mean others are like you or are as weak as you. I don’t sky dive because I fear hieghts but that doesn’t mean our bets can’t do ianything. The same holds true for gambling. If you can’t stomach it, stay away from it, but those who can are more than welcome to enjoy the same freedom as others to do what they enjoy.

Re: Would you advise a friend in the same way?
by
Youngkhngdiddy
on 09/04/2024, 20:15:46 UTC
It's not wise to follow the moves of big companies such as MicroStrategy because they have teams to manage every aspect of the company including the finances and how their investments should be done and they have advisors and everything who do analysis and research and then come up with finalized decisions whether they should invest in a certain thing or not, it's not as simple as one might think it is.

So as you said, I wouldn't recommend a small company investing in something just because they have seen a bigger company doing it and gaining success through it. The owner of the MicroStrategy company, Michael Saylor, is a big businessman and he knows what he is doing with his company's funds unlike the friend of OP who has no idea what he should do with the money kept in the bank.
 You made a valid point there mate, you can’t just jump on the trend just because everyone is doing it. MicroStrategy would have done their research very closely before they are heavily invested in bitcoin. The need to know that they are risk associated to investing in Bitcoin because anyone who has no idea about the knowledge of Bitcoin may suffer emotional setback and if cannot be managed properly might lead to lost of life. For someone who is  investing that such amount, he needs to even have a team who are well informed about the crypto world and have good knowledge about the stock market, we don’t know how the structure of the MicroStrategy company is because we are not there, so if you feel it is to just to jump into investing in bitcoin without knowing the in and out of the ecosystem then it’s a wrong choice of investment.
  However, I want to commend and give my respect to the OP at least for given is friend the  enlightenment about  bitcoin so it is left for his friend to do his research before investing. So as not to put the blame on his friend when the market goes against him. We all have some task to do on our part, we need to help spread the message of Bitcoin and crypto space to the world. That way we are bringing enlightenment to those with little knowledge and helping to spread the gospel of Bitcoin and crypto to the world.

Re: Do you think merit is by chance or lengthy article?
by
Youngkhngdiddy
on 08/04/2024, 23:34:25 UTC
Merit is given when you make a quality post, if am to pick from your options OP, it's given by chance not making lengthy article, it doesn't count. If you're making lengthy article it most be a quality and reasonable post. That what  count the knowledge you are sharing not writing shit  or making off comments.

Why I choose chance is because most at times one can make a quality post but not merited because the reader wasn't at time having the feeling or need to, we can see that even if we make quality post it's subjective to the reader. We can sight example to the Wall Street Observer section, you see how post that isn't suppose to be merited are given. There is little or no lengthy post there but merits are just given based on chanced and how the reader see the need for.

This can't be overstretched in a simple word make quality post,worthy of sharing and remove your mind from getting merits on every post.

  Not all good post will be merited that’s something you should consider, that doesn’t mean the post isn’t quality enough. A good post of course when reviewed will be merited, the merit serve as a someone buying into your idea or maybe the post is informative and useful to the forum. I just feel like if you’re posting just to get merit, you may end up doing too much thereby putting yourself at risk of making shit post instead, here in the forum you don’t have to be uptight and it a forum of course and not an office where you answer to anybody. Of course we have to follow and abide to the rules of the forum so as to keep the community organized. It’s a discussion community where we come to share idea and also be schooled too. We can’t know everything for sure, if we are too uptight here and just posting to gain merit  I feel like we will forget the main ingredient of the forum and that is to also learn some new things too.
  Of course merit is important that will help your profile grow, but have you ask yourself why those that post just few words get merit compared to the ones with lengthy paragraphs, i just feel like you have to understand the forum on your own part, study how other higher ranks in the forum construct their post. That will even make you a better writer. It not about your lengthy post, your lengthy post might mean a thing but you might still be saying same thing as the person who just constructed few write up, and the person is banging merit. It’s not that the person is special or anything it just how well constructed the post is. Before you make any post at least you have to have an idea so as to share your insight about the topic being discussed. It not about writing just to meet your quota, your posts is been seen by the thousands of people here in the forum. Now you see why information is powerful. Your information or idea can teach or enlighten the thousands of people here in the forum. Write to educate and not for merits.

Re: The madness of gambling addicts.

To avoid gambling addiction, it is necessary to be self-aware and make sound decisions. It's true that gambling can be enjoyable and even exciting, but it is always important to use caution and strategy.
Plus, Regularly assessing your behaviours and modifying your strategy will help you maintain control. Setting time and money limitations, experimenting with different sorts of gambling, and learning from previous experiences can all lead to better outcomes.
Balancing enjoyment with responsibility is essential for reducing addiction dangers while also having fun and maybe gaining money. We should always remember that gambling always includes risks and should not be counted on as a guaranteed or primary source of income but only as a way to have fun and reduce stress.
   By acknowledging that you are not addicted and accepting responsibility for your actions, you can make better decisions. Your free will is the strongest tool you have to bring about change in your life. Changing a behavior requires a genuine desire to do so. No one is forcing you to engage in harmful activities like gambling or substance abuse. These choices are entirely up to you, based on the lies and truths you tell yourself. Research shows that people only overcome behavioral problems when they truly want to. While addiction may seem powerful, ultimately, it is your choice whether to put a cigarette in your mouth or consume alcohol or pills. Some may argue that withdrawal is an excuse, but it's important to be honest with yourself about your actions and intentions.
   If you're using money meant for your child's needs to gamble, you are deceiving yourself about the purpose of that money. Honesty with yourself is crucial in making the decision not to place a bet. Programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and Gamblers Anonymous have helped many people, but they have high dropout rates and a flawed approach. They deny the existence of free will and emphasize a diseased perspective. Instead of helping people change their behaviors, they primarily focus on managing the consequences. Groups for gamblers can be especially damaging, as they encourage you to publicly declare yourself as an addict who can't be trusted with money. This often leads to losing jobs and friends. It doesn't have to be difficult to quit gambling; you simply need to genuinely want to stop. When you're honest with yourself and truly see your actions for what they are, you will be able to put an end to destructive habits. Until then, any excuses or theories about addiction are merely untrue justifications. The choice is yours. Choose your free will and a life of freedom instead of self-imposed limitations.

Being successful is not that easy and requires a lot of dedication. It's great that you are participating from the recent bull run and are able to fully provide for your family. Unfortunately there are enough people who didn't have enough free capital to invest in crypto currencies during the last bear market, or didn't know enough about it invest larger sums of money. We should be understanding and trying to help our friends as much as possible. This doesn't mean that we need to spend a lot of money supporting our friends, already small things can make a big difference. Being open with your friend about how you invest your money is good. It shows that you think about longterm goals and are planning for the future. Helping our friends to get a similar mindset is already a huge change and will lead to long term profits as well.
  There is always this sign of relief you get when everyone in your circle is made, it brings this satisfaction and joy seeing all your family and friends win, it simply makes one life easy especially if they are friends you’ve had from way back. Assuming you fell up, maybe you had a bad day at the market and you lost a lot of money. You wouldn’t have to worry or sell off any property. If y’all got each others back then gathering up a little something for you wouldn’t cost a dime for your friends. So you see that true friendship are really healthy, not just for your mental health but also your financial health too. I am fortunate to have experienced the taste of good friendships, friendships that are willing to go extreme for you regardless of the circumstances and conditions at the moment, all they want is the best for you.
  Also, one can attain to richness faster with good friends. Because good friends build together, they cry and smile together. This is why they commonly say be careful with your circle, be in the circle of greatness and not in the circle of too much talks with less work. If I’m in the position to show my friends how to bake bread, I will gladly show them the ingredients and the process of how to so that they can bake own their own. I know a lot of people will want to you to be careful with you friends but trust me when I say they will be signs and red flags if you are in the wrong circle of friends, it is either we are to blind to see the red flags or too carried away. Good and healthy friendship still exist and a lot of young people are exiling themselves building something great together. So tell me why can’t you ?

what I want to advise you is that you have to make a necessary inquiring or research of Bitcoin before invest in Bitcoin because so many other persons have come to invest in Bitcoin and go with the negative information based on it fails to understand the procedures of Bitcoin before it venture into bitcoin investment, the most important thing to do in cryptocurrency investment is to understand the concept and then when you have understand the concept of Bitcoin you can be able to make a profit during the time of the investment.
   Bitcoin, BTC is the start of a revolution. It is a digital currency that has an absolute limited supply, truly decentralized control, and a huge following that is worldwide and growing. As well as being the MOST secure computer network ever. BTC has never been hacked. To fully understand the revolution, we need a bit of review on basic economics. The most basic truth in economics is the law of supply and demand. the price of a cell phone was expensive at first because there was demand and a limited supply. The longer cell phones were around the more of them became available - increase in supply - and thus the price came down. Fiat money like the Euro, the US dollar the GB pound, are similar.
  The more units of fiat become available the less each individual unit is valued. Technically this is called monetary inflation. Bitcoin cannot be created on a whim like pounds, dollars and euro’s or cell phones. It has a truly limited supply. There will NEVER be any more than 21 million bitcoins. The new supply of bitcoin that is being created gets cut in half every 4 years thus the supply dwindles down over time. All this is set by the original computer program of Bitcoin. It will not be changed because to change any of it you would have to get 51% of all the participants in the mining of BTC to agree to the change. Since this is truly decentralized by literally millions of computers all around the world that mine BTC no change will occur in the original code. As long as demand for BTC remains constant or goes up the dwindling supply will cause the price of BTC to rise over time.

The main reason why Manchester united still perform poor is due to the bad structure of the team, I observed same thing each time Manchester united lead with goal difference in a match they fail to secure their defense. The defense team is the major problem cause I find no fault in united players except Ten Hag. Ten Hag has a lot of work to do but it seems  Ten Hag can't handle the situation, from my view Liverpool didn't play like they wanted to win the match or they just want to leave the race or else today performance look poor despite the fact they equalize at end I still never expected the poor performance. Arsenal leading with goal difference, the draw actually favoured Arsenal no doubt.
   Come on mate, do you even watch man united  games at all, why will you say that you find no fault in the united player. The players are the major problem aside from the management and its low standard of play from the team. Just few are playing with their heart and the zeal, the few are not in even up to 5 players. Just imagine how do you expect a team with just five serious players to function in all the competition played so far. The coach you are criticizing as done his best but personally I don’t think that best his working hard for he can’t find it in this man united team, the team has a lot of flaws and the players are not looking to improve. Last season Arsenal bottle the league due to some error they faces towards the end of the previous season where city capitalize on the chances to win the league. This time Arsenal have try to minimize the damages games they either lost or drew last season they are winning it now.
  I will only agree on the part where you said we lack structure, I even think that’s an understatement. This season we have been playing a clueless game for me,  one error the management did they thought by finishing 3rd means that you have your team ready. Now let me tell you something any team that has no replacement that’s not a team. This is what Arsenal corrected last Season and this season it has been worth the investment. Well I believe at end of this season and the start of the transfer window, I hope this new management invest passively in the club.

By avoiding risks altogether, individuals and organizations may become stagnant and fail to adapt to changing circumstances or take advantage of new opportunities. avoiding risks, individuals and organizations may miss out on potential opportunities for growth, innovation, or financial gain. Of course, it's important to balance risk-taking with thoughtful evaluation of potential risks and benefits. However, completely avoiding risks altogether can be detrimental to personal and professional growth and success.
  It's important to note that taking risks does not imply reckless behavior. Instead, it involves making informed decisions, evaluating potential outcomes, and considering the balance between potential rewards and potential downsides. Managing risks effectively often involves a calculated and measured approach, where risks are understood and mitigated to the extent possible. Ultimately, the right approach to risk-taking varies from person to person and situation to situation. Some level of risk is often necessary for growth, innovation, and achieving goals, but the degree of risk should align with an individual's or organization's risk tolerance, objectives, and circumstances.

Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻
by
Youngkhngdiddy
on 07/04/2024, 20:14:42 UTC
  El Salvador becoming the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender is a significant milestone for the cryptocurrency industry. The move is expected to have both positive and negative implications for the wider adoption and use of cryptocurrencies. On the positive side, El Salvador's decision is likely to increase awareness and adoption of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, in other countries. It could also pave the way for other countries to follow suit, further legitimizing cryptocurrencies as a means of payment and store of value. Moreover, the move could also provide economic benefits to El Salvador. It is estimated that the use of Bitcoin could potentially reduce the cost of remittances, which is a significant source of income for the country. In addition, it could attract foreign investment in the country's cryptocurrency industry. 
   However, there are also potential risks and downsides to El Salvador's decision. Bitcoin is known for its volatility, and using it as legal tender could expose the country's economy to significant price swings and other risks associated with cryptocurrencies. Moreover, the adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender may not necessarily lead to widespread adoption by businesses and individuals, as it still faces issues such as scalability and regulatory uncertainty. Overall, the move by El Salvador is a significant development for the cryptocurrency industry and could have far-reaching implications for its adoption and use as a means of payment and store of value. However, the success of Bitcoin as legal tender in El Salvador remains to be seen and will depend on a variety of factors, including its ability to address key issues such as volatility, scalability, and regulatory uncertainty.

Maybe they realized they could do this and have small happy moments and that's the best they could hope for? That's the thing that is lacking these days, people lost hope, any hope that they could live a better life.

They think that no matter what they do, they won't live a better life, and that means with debt the best they can do would be making a life that would have some stories to tell. I am one of those people, not that I spend it on irresponsible ways, but I lost hope, I can take out any debt I want, but I do not see any future where I can live a richer life, that just doesn't make sense to me at all.
  I feel like most workers who fail to meet up to their retirement goal  just fail to plan during their time at work, they are easily carried away by the things of the present, some of them easily forget that they is something called the future. They prefer to live in the moment, forgetting that they live with budgeted funds. Those who are not fortunate to be born into wealth should be more disciplined when handling wealth. Because mismanagement of funds prune to happen to overzealous individuals.  It is advisable to save 30% of your monthly income, workers should cultivate the habit of saving because this is their pass card to early retirement.  You will seldom have unlimited access to wages or overtime. Having savings limits your need to borrow to cover unexpected expenses.   Additionally few people budget correctly to include the annual or semiannual bills like property taxes and insurance and vehicle registrations. Having a financial cushion gives you peace of mind and allows you freedom to make better choices with less emotion. The main goal should be to work as a hedge for events which need immediate funds to be able to maintain your fixed as well as unplanned but a must-have/do expenses. A person wants to avoid asking friends relatives etc. for short or long term funding when getting laid off someone facing unexpected high repair bill hospital/medical care bill— for such events folks need to provide set aside reserve/savings.

In terms of performance, Liverpool does look more promising than Man United. Moreover, everyone knows that Man United plays very inconsistently, even in their last 2 matches, Man United failed to win. Man United is not in good condition, while Liverpool is in their best condition. However, with the conditions of the two teams like that, I still feel that Man United still has a chance to steal points from Liverpool. If Man United could play with a nothing to lose spirit, I think Man United will be a formidable opponent for Liverpool. There is nothing impossible in football. Man United even managed to get rid of Liverpool in the FA Cup.
 Manchester United is definitely like the underdog in the tomorrow game against Liverpool, their performance has been nothing to write home about, the players are playing like they have nothing to lose after all they will get paid at the end of the week. They had proved how disorganize the structure of the team is, they find it difficult to even defend thier lead in two consecutive games. No top elite team will want to fumble like that given away points carelessly. I used to tell my fellow man United fan that our glory days are over and we are just an average team struggling to maintain its name. For the club to function at his top flight again we need a total reform in the club, from its management down to its players. Ac Milan had the same issues some time ago, after several years of not coming to the champion league and finishing 10th position they still came out from thier struggle and are now champion of Italy in this present time.
   Man united are looking for other options of the position of the manager, Teg’s style of play is not suiting the team, he can use lazy players to play such intensive pattern of football. He even had to change is own style of play from playing the diamond midfield play to the counter attack United team are fond of,  just to suite the the play of the team, the non-chalant  attitude of some of the players is really costing the team a lot making the effort of the few good players there useless, these cabal and favoritism will destroy the good hold of the team. Fans no longer recognize their boyhood club anymore, the softness as eaten us to the depth of our heart, I miss the days of Roy Keane where every game seem like a battlefield to team. Please bring back those days to us !!!

Re: What are some major institutions investing heavily in bitcoins in 2024 ?

That is the price we have to pay when we always want bitcoin to be legalized by the government, want bitcoin to become popular globally, and when those things happen, large organizations or governments will also invest in bitcoin and manipulation is inevitable.

Every time people see bitcoin going up in price and people get excited and excited about the bitcoin ETF being approved and being the catalyst, but they forgot to think about the prospect that one day these large funds will sell bitcoin to the market. Then it will cause a big drop and panic, and this is the downside when we want bitcoin to become bigger.
  As others have touched on I think that due to the policies of the government favoring the continued devaluation of the dollar, corporations see it as currency hedge, inflation hedge, and a store of value not particularly correlated to any other asset. So it seems for them a good place to allocate a portion of the cash on their balance sheet since it has limited supply coupled with apparent increasing demand.
  To see whether Bitcoin is a good investment as a crypto digital asset, we can see the movement of the Bitcoin price since the early stage at around 2009/2010 up until now in April 2024. I am sure that one can agree that Bitcoin is the best investment going back to the last 10 years. But, how about the next 10 years? This is where one has to do their own research even though there is no guarantee that bitcoin will keep going up in the price. Since bitcoin is a limited “commodity” and the demand keep increasing , we can safely say that the probability is high that the price of bitcoin is going to go sky high in the future. As the anonymous founder of bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto said ( in my own words of course) buy some bitcoin just for the taste of it so that if the price is shooting to the moon in the future, at least you got some.

Re: Technology and work ethics

Yeah, the point is to increase the productivity of workers but to be fair, it's insane when they expect factory and warehouse workers to work the whole 6.5 hours without any 1-2 minute breaks. I have done physical labour and I know how big the pressure is to work, they expect you to carry 20kg boxes every second for 7 hours. I call it slavery. I studied UI/UX design and got a good job. Now I get a high salary and I am not watched and forced to work every single second. During the 8-hour shift, I take a 2-3 minute break any time I wish to rest my eyes and I also have 1.5 hours of paid break time.
  I don't mean to be snide but technology can't be blamed for our messed up work ethics. We ourselves are killing it. Technology can be put to wonderful use. How we use it is just sad. And then, we blame it for our laid back work ethics. All we have to do is learn to strike a balance between our work and the usage of technology. When the perfect balancing sense is achieved, you'll be amazed to see the outcome. Many of us take for granted that technology is the brightest spot in the economy, where most of the innovation and job creation occurs. But if you look more broadly at the impact of technology across every industry, it doesn’t look so great. Technology makes businesses more efficient, often by eliminating the need for repetitive tasks and the workers who do them. We are not replacing those jobs with enough new, higher-skilled ones to make up for the loss.
   The use of technology has risen both in our schools, colleges and throughout society; hence, addressing technology's ethics is necessary. It is not new for our educational institution to preach ethics. Still, as education technology's use increased the complexity of the educators' task, schools can play a vital role in helping the children understand the values, policies, and laws applicable to the rapidly changing information technology-dependent world. The teachers or instructors must be aware of the importance of technology ethics-related issues. As it is rightly said, "technology will not replace great teachers, but technology in the hands of great teachers can be transformational." Hence, it is in the teachers' hands to ensure that the leaders and the decision-makers of tomorrow are well equipped to make the difficult ethical decisions they would undoubtedly face.
