Topic: Has Bitcoin improved your work ethic at all? (Read 682 times)

Nope. The value I get from my work is the enjoyment I get from work I love to do. Getting paid for it is just icing on the cake.

No because now I'm spending my time at work browsing these forums.

PSHH work ethics

I think you're onto something there.  Knowing that your money will not wash off for something you had nothing to do with is like sucking on a peppermint and then taking in a huge breath of air.  For me, I just like that nobody can tell me what to do with my money; it is truly mine, in every way, and it will always be that way until I decide who gets it next.  So I'm a lot more willing to work for a currency which isn't owned by some faceless entity and can be taken on whim, and a lot more willing to spend on something or someone who will treasure the bitcoin a lot more than anything else, and I believe that last part also plays a role in work ethic.  The more work there is to be had, the better, which might be upstream for bitcoin, as the trend appears to be save, save, save.  Hopefully that'll change once more places start accepting bitcoin and it begins to overtake a country's prescribed government-controlled-by-bank currency--not for a long time, if ever, I think.  Not without resistance, anyway.

But with all that said, I do feel more inclined to work for someone who is paying in digital gold, than a currency which inflates artificially.  Even if I was doing one of the mundane tasks such as working a cash register or restocking at minimum wage, at least I'd take solace in knowing my time wasn't going to waste.

well... I work the same but I'm wasting my money less. Budgeting down a bit. No longer buying 4 dollar bottles of kombucha 6 at a time. I'm kind of upset at the price rise though because I can't buy as many bitcoins now.

So, we've finally found the answer to governments who think they can just devalue the currencies we use every time they get themselves into trouble, but what has it done for our day to day lives? For me I found it actually helped with my work! Because I don't have to worry about my money becoming worthless in the next year or so I find I'm actually working far more than I was before just because of the control I can now have over my own finances.

Has anything similar happen to you? Or is it just the same old work pattern for you?
