'If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he eats for a lifetime"

This quote for me sums ups the best strategy for succeeding in cryptocurrency. Too many people trawl through forums, articles and youtube videos looking for what people say will be the next big coin. All you are doing here is accepting free metaphorical fish of people. A better strategy would be to learn about blockchain, distributed ledgers, distributed consensus and immutability. Then look into geopolitical events, then look into other economic markets outside of cryptocurrency for macro trends and then you will be able to make decisions on solid projects for yourself. This whole movement is about becoming independent so relying on other peoples opinions to form your own is a very dangerous game

Yeah, Mr Trump`s book

Have you read it? More about USA capitalism not Finnish.

This is what i am having in my life, though i try helping others by giving foods or some small cash but i try educating them how they can find Job or work.

i once tried to Give small capital to a friend for them to start up, and yeah they are now having a good run of business and coping in life.

I actually think it's a good idea to give both the fish and teach them how to turn it into many fish.

Yeah because on the very spot they need fish to eat while learning how to fish.

In regards to Op point.
Ofcourse, I think people who understand what true cryptocurrency space seeks to achieve and care alot about it will likely know how to do well in this (especially long term) without getting entangled in things that are contrary to the good ideals of true Cryptocurrency.
By the way, they should be careful investing in projects that lack all the important ideals of true Cryptocurrency. It's important not to get used to them so they don't feel too bad when they experience the consequences.

Well that is why they need us , we will encourage them and we will teach them how and why they will invest .

I agree with you very much. If you don’t have the relevant knowledge about cryptocurrency, you can only make a wave of money. In the long run, you will gradually lose the money you earn.

Lol crypto is a world of risking and knowledge , this must be together for our benefits.

Good advice OP, also remember it should be advised that people only invest what they can afford to lose. Some people chase unrealistic dreams by investing too much into a specific coin because somebody they know is wealthier or doing better than them.

My advice is simply buy & HODL bitcoin but not everybody is that patient & they panic sell during downturns.

i thought the 'give a man a fish or teach a man to fish' slogan was in reality

take a mans home near a river away from him. dump him 20miles away from any river and teach him to rely on food aid to give him fish

yep
africans pre-1950 living near rivers knew how to fish.
but since 1950 they have had their homes and land taken from them.
charities like unicef and red cross are simply the band-aid trying to cover up how africans gut hurt in the first place.

so here is a new slogan 'dont take their land'

Unfortunately, these days, not so many are ready to fish for themselves or take the time to learn how to fish.

It becomes a problem because, they view you as trying to escape stress or putting them to stress. Like they've been a burden for which you've been enduring and just wants to throw at any given opportunity.

So, how to fish is reserved for those willing to learn and as such, they have to present themselves. Then they would appreciate it the more.

And applying it to cryptocurrencies, many are choosing to be spoonfed instead of doing their own researches.

Asking what coins to invest although it's an obvious question that many will say that it's bitcoin. And when they've heard the majority told them that it's bitcoin as the best to invest and start with.

They would ignore it.

Then never give them fish that is simple solution , because letting them become more Lazy by helping is also not a good idea.

But they must learn and earn , that is the cycle of life.

Lol That is a obligation of every human , and if you don't wanna fish then better DIE now.

this is always a question how to teach or do u actually teach the right way

You can teach that man but you should let him practice what he learns to grow his ability and learn more to know better.

It is not better if you teach everything because he needs to learn by himself. We can not teach him every time because we also have another thing that we need to do.

I agree wholeheartedly with the OP. As most of my posts reflect, I always prefer to teach about a subject and encourage others to learn the how/why of things vs just giving a single answer.

Learning the how/why lets you understand the reasons behind something and that will hopefully give you insights into other questions you may have on a subject.

I think teaching him how to fish is the best way. This is also the most effective way to help. Of course, if it is a lazy person, I will choose to give it a fish!

This is the true thing that everyone should be taught to learn how to work and get it done so that in their own life they will be able to work and earn their livelihood. They would not have to be depended on the government or somebody else to seek the monetary benefits as this will also help them to develop and in longer perspective helps the economy too.

This sentence seems to be a fable of a certain country，But why can't you choose both? If you learn to fish, you may not be able to catch fish and starve to death

Nope it is not a fable mate but that is a reality , Learning how to find your food is necessary than asking for food each time.

It is not literally fish but How to Survive , this is also my point in life , yeah i love helping people but as logn as i can , i will try to deal teaching them or giving them capital to start small living.

unfortunately it is true in all sectors, in all fields, immediate temporary help does not solve the problem at the source but can only temporarily alleviate, if instead people are taught the most effective way to solve, stem a problem then it really helps them
