Most of the time, you should go with the flow, but it doesn't mean you should always stay at your safe zone. You should always try, whether you fail or success, in the end, your "experience" is enough as a gain if you didn't success on what you've tried.

That's the reason why they are here in the forum, they want to learn more or they want to start leaning about cryptocurrency, the sad part of it is that after a few months or even days of reading, their attention is shifting to earning.


You can't expect it that way when everyone just want to earn, most of the time they will share something not because they want to spread knowledge here but because there is an incentive on each post they make.

Be contented with your rank, it's not about what you can earn, but what you can read and learn in this forum.

Sooner or later you'll get used to your rank and just focus on reading more and writing less here. With that, you'll never feel frustrated and forget about earning. Maybe that's the reason why the merit system was introduced.

But if you really want to increase your merit, I usually see people flock to Meta section, try your luck there, who knows, someone might like what you are going to say.

In my opinion, everyone can learn what they want, but what you should be thinking is the mastery, you can't perfect everything if you would not focus on just one craft. You will need thousands of hours before you could be considered as "master" on the specific field that you are into.

But, things like fixing your own things like your house, bikes, computer, I'm sure you can learn how to do it. Ever heard of "DIY"? I consider it self taught, but I can't consider DIY'ers as "specialist" that you are talking about.

There are also talented people who doesn't need someone to teach them, they could naturally enhance themselves by experience.

Yeah, by what job exactly would they employed into? If it is just for micro jobs, then they are wasting their time. If their courses/degrees are not related to computer, I suggest that they should not use bitcoin as a tool to become rich or to be employed by it. Unless they are rich and just want to invest in bitcoin and not do it for their bread and butter.

Honestly, if you would go out, there are plenty of job if you are really looking for it, only that people are choosy and just want to do the jobs that already have high salaries and of course, the easiest one.

Yup. The higher our IQ is, the more serious we tackle things out. Just like watching a comedy movie, if the joke was already been done in the other movie, then it's boring, there should be something new. Or another example, a woman, if they are into sexual relationship, the more experience they have, they would need a much better man to be with to make them happy in bed(no pun intended). Or a poor man seeking for their day to day living. They tend to work harder and harder to make their lives easier, and that is the only thing that makes them happy.

Exactly. It was just a seminar being hyped by I don't know?

Actually this article, thread title and content is a bit misleading. It's not the government that held a seminar about cryptocurrency but it's just a bunch of people who wants to organize it for whatever reason they have. Most of the time seminars are being held to advertise something, I'm not sure, but probably this one is another way to do it, like how the networkers do it, hiding the real reason behind.

I've read a quote before that states "One man's freedom ends where another one begins" I consider it as a perfect explanation of exercising your "freedom of will - whatever". You are free to do anything that you want but it should not affect anyone around you or else you'll have a problem.

It's easy to say that you are just exercising your "will power" but if it's going to affect anyone (specially if it's not for good) then you should control or avoid doing it.

Do you mean pretending? I think it's what you mean, and not about "positive thinking".In card games, it's what you do most of the time, you hide the expressions in your face so your opponents cannot see your tactics.

I still believe that positive thinking has no effect in winning or losing. It could make you feel comfortable but won't add any "mojo" to your game.

Yeah, incentives really makes a worker work harder. If a company could offer such extra pay to each worker, then probably everyone will work hard. Aside from that, a shorter working hours and more over time pay.

With regards to OP, I think that's normal. It's not about the "spark" it's about maturity. When you are growing/aging, the more knowledge/wisdom you will have. You will also become realistic with everything, compared to children who thinks too much about impossible things like magic.

Do you mean gambling?

Well, you can really find many friends in gambling, just like the drunkards find their pals in gambling too most of the time. I believe that those are some of the good effect of gambling to gambler, they could find friends and they feel comfortable with them. But the bad thing about that is they are pulling you more and more into their position. They could also pull you to the wrong direction.

I think it's "boring life needs gambling"? Most of the gambling is from a game, a contest, it just so happen that they have to put a bet. Gambling is already part of the culture of so many people, it is already in their culture, any contest, that would amuse everyone, people will bet on it.

But gambling before is not as vicious as it is today. people value their money and properties too much before that if they are going to bet, it should be on something that is memorable and most of the time they themselves are at stake, and not just for the sake of raking money.

Why not? If that's the only solution to the ever growing poverty in the world. But it should be done based on the yearly income of the family. If the parents are poor, don't have a good annual income then the government officials should inject them with contraceptives that is good for one year. If the parents is rich enough then they should be given a chance to have more children, but still depends on their annual income.

Wow!!! your dream is too high. I think it is achievable if you would invest in bitcoin, trade, learn how the market is rolling and probably buy your own house and car ( which I think would took many months or probably year before you could do that )

I myself, is keeping all that I am earning since I have a day job and I don't think that I need that much money. But last December I was tempted to sell, and buy a few things that I want as a Christmas gift, but I don't do that often, usually just in December.

Actually it would be easier if you would do it together with someone else, they could be a reason why you quit. Perhaps your girlfriend, he doesn't want to smell a bad breath, your boss, he doesn't want an employee who are smoker, or your family, your children, you don't want to leave them at early age?

See? it is easier that way than just quitting because you want it, probably it is possible if you are into strength training and smoking could weaken you.

Not yet, since I still have enough money, (lucky, I'm still single). 

I would only borrow money for btc if; I have a great plan to make more money out of it that I could compensate whatever I use and double it if possible. Any plan that would not give me sure money, well, I won't even try to borrow.

I'm wondering how will borrower told a lending company about his/her plans to use it to buy bitcoin. It looks like it is difficult at the moment.

Honestly, I've been with people who needs to undergo anger management seminar (if there is)  . They are easily angered with anything, from a simple erasure or wrongly placed items in their tables. Probably they are a bit tired or stressed.

So, with regards to your question OP, you can just ignore them. Patience is virtue, think of it, and you need a lot of it if you are working with them and with a company that don't have time to look at the situation of their workers. Most of the time there is an overload of work, too much for each worker.

Well, that's true, solvents could really dry your brain. Not to mention that it's hallucinogenic effect of these drugs. No wonder why some drivers smash their cars into something because they've seen something.

If majority of the crime in your country was done by this drug addicts, I think something is wrong. Probably no one cares about drug addiction, or the government lacks the ability to control it. It is also possible that there is conspiracy  that is happening between the government and drug dealers.

I don't really believe that praying could make you leave gambling, nor it can help you. Though, I believe that meditating could help strengthen your mind, and could strengthen your will to do something.

If you really want to stop gambling, it should be planned, step by step and slowly while quitting if you can't do it quickly. Just like when you are reducing weight, you don't do it quickly since you will have a hard time coping up in lowering your weight in the long run and just send you back to the start. Just do it slowly.

Consider spending money for the good of those you love the most. If they are happy because of that money, does it make you happy too? If it doesn't make you feel happy then something is wrong with you.

You can use your money to attract new friends, not by bribing them but by sharing things to them. Though, some are hypocrite, as if they are not using money everyday and when they use it, it makes them happy too.
