So it only means we should buy "what we need and not what we what". But those offering huge discounts are really playing mind games to all of us, consumers. So what I do is when I go to a mall, I just buy the things that I really wanted and then immediately get out so that I won't be tempted to get those so called "sale" items that will just sit on cabinet for a long time.

Regarding Bitcoin though, it's already a given fact, when price drops, there will be a lot of FUD's around. Grin

That is right, we just have to walk to any mall with the intention of buying what we need and not based on sales or promo because that is still the price we will get them anytime the need arise. It is not only mall that plays mind game with us.

This game is virtually played everywhere, this is what they use in deceiving people also buying these expensive cars and houses making them believe that the material used is one in a million that has something so spectacular which makes it over expensive. That is the world we leave in, we just have to learn how to be smart in the way we spend.

Sales are everywhere. Sale on shoes, bags, shirts, gadgets and everything. Malls and shops use this technique to attract buyers, but you know what? Do you think you've been discounted a higher price than ordinary? No. Instead of saving 20%, you spend 80% on things you dont really need. This is not economical and most of us are easily lured to it. This is what i hate about people. When there's useless trending items on sale, they buy immediately even on credit cards but if bitcoin drops, they talk negative about it. Normal mindset wants to get temporary attention. Not permanent comfort.

Good point and I agree with you in most part, but when is Bitcoin on sale for example, for most people it seems to them that they lose Dollar value because of holding Bitcoin, people do not like to lose. But that sale on Bitcoin would not be permanently, and their value will rise again, which will cause FOMO in these same people.

LOL, this is called marketing strategy, the sales price is the actual price the retailer wishes to sell the product and whatever they add as it as extra is just a figure picked at random and not part of what makes up the price.

You know we are dealing with humans and for you to get attention of humans sometimes is quite stressful and really tasking, so one have to device lots of strategies. This is why we see that some exchanges too do inflate their volume in order to gain attention. This also happen in the ICO too. All those bonuses they give, all those hardcap and softcap quoted, aren’t they inflated?

I regret all the things that I bought last year and the year before. Gadgets, like apple that priced so high and yet it isn't what I needed, but it happened already. Now all the things that comes up of my mind are the things what I needed most. I am thinking of buying our own house if I had the money and soon a car for us to go everywhere we want. I limited my spend with shoes already, and instead I buy crypto currencies mainly Bitcoin. Lessons have been learned.

There are two kinds of people here,rich and poor and both have different mindset which decide their economical status as of now.We need to have more assets than our liabilities and that is the only way we can afford to buy anythings at later period of our life.

It will get to a time where bitcoin will have attained a high degree of trust from the community and they will have no choice then to accept it as the only currency with an unstable value and having it own unique value which is base on a volatile technique. I agree that in most times we buy what we don't really need bit we complains on things we can't control.

Indeed like that, in fact, we buy things that we don't really need, especially if we have more money, I've read things like this in some self control management books. And one of the precautions is that you must have money planning, whether for investment or some things that we really need for the future. Some books that I read about psychology where humans tend to have more adrenaline when discussing the negative side and fear of losing attention.

if you need to book your expenses each month, at first it is difficult to control, but with bookkeeping expenses, we can sort the items needed with goods that only comply with the wishes

A very valid point! In MBA education, this particular consumer behavior is linked to a lot of things. One of these things is, pleasure principle. If you have taken a marketing class, you may be aware of it. Using discounts is a way of creating a sense of urgency in the consumer's mind. That's why people end up buying useless things!

But the same doesn't apply on bitcoin or any other decentralized assets because there is authorised party available who would market bitcoin in a similar way! For cryptos, it comes from knowledge and peer interaction. Can't reall compare these two!

We are panic buying whenever we see some sale items. We unexpectedly buying things that we don't really need in everyday life. Just like with bitcoin, we tend to panic buy when there is small dumps and never realized that there will be another big dump coming. Anyway, I appreciate your advice to us here who are struggling buying unnecessary things for living.

Too much attaching by buying bitcoin on a quick dump is just a trap and could lead repent decision that everyone could make when we are eager and desperate to earn quickly. In this scenario, we have to be wise and peruse every content of how does the market phase explode and to evade from loses and repentances.

We buy it even though we don't need it to treat our self,
We work hard to earn money don't can't we at least deserve to treat our selve's?
To enjoy what we have done to enjoy what we get from work.
And it is true mostly those discounted item aren't really discounted because even if they put up a discount on it they are still getting profit.

Well, people have their different perspective in terms of reward for doing the hard work. What OP trying to say is that if you really don't need it please do not buy it because it will just gonna stay untouched in your room or something. You just bought it because you see a discount but it has nothing to do with you too.

So for me, i don't really buy those things that don't have a use in me because it will gonna stay in the room for a while. I'd rather buy those things that i really wanted immediately than those things that don't have any use to me.

They give a discount after they increase the price so they will get more profit from the product.
I've seen that in every malls and shop in here and sometimes I don't want to buy at that discount, sometimes I bought when the discount is not too big so I can see the real discount.
I don't think that buy something using a credit card will be good because I am worried about the fee inside the card and I prefer to use fiat than a credit card.

This is what the financial coach I've been following said as well, 'if there's a sale you are never discounted'. This is so true,

It's a sales strategy that buyers are attracted because we believe that it's discounted. I'm that kind of person that isn't even bothering to rush when there's a sale in the nearby mall. But you can't hate people because they are like that, it's their hard earned money so they can do whatever they want with that. Go on sale, spend it recklessly and realize later that they don't even need that product.

Just a lil bit of typo error here - "what we need and not what we want" Wink

This is also the reason why I seldom roam around the mall, because if I see sale I will be tempted to buy something. And also, most of the time those we bought ended up being used maybe one or twice a year, so it is really not worth buying unnecessary things.

You hit the right spot.

It is cheap so we buy it. But actually that is the real price of it. They are just overpricing everyday for the market to not fell.
This happens mostly to those items that are in stock for like years. They want to at least recover ROI and of course they will have it. Only those with bad colors which will be left there.
But still they will get the money that they want.

Why is it that one of the most important discovery (bitcoin) is being stomped to the ground? Why dont we ask our governments. Grin

Oh, also add the banks.

Personally, i am really interested in buying the things which on sale- i buy the things on sale like a maniac! . However, rarely do i make negative talk on bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies when it have a falling. Honestly, it depends on each person inherent mindset, i mean that it's not really a person who buy on sale will both talk negatively on bitcoin drop, but it's up to every one thinking as well as their mindset. I think buying something on a discount price helps me a lot, because actually i buy what is in need quickly and on my control of money, it simultaneously bring me and both seller benefit. If one grow negative emotion on bitcoin, no matter what he does, he may still lead bad emotion as well as bad talk on it; till he himselt can get rid of these negative thinking.

I know how you feel but i would like to ask you.Do all people aware on bitcoins existence? No theyre not and besides its their money after all.
It might look dumb for you but you dont have the right to stop people on buying things they do like but you do have actually the point when it comes to those
sale thing.Its attractive but those arent really giving you out the advantage.They are still selling it on profit.
