Topic: "I'm afraid that I don't hear a thing" ...Do you guys see any biz op ? (Read 387 times)

The world is in the midst of a COVID-19 outbreak, plus the Russian-Ukrainian inflation that has not yet ended, it is certain that business is getting harder for us to get, many people have lost their jobs, many investors have lost shares and many companies have lost capital, maybe the only way is to work hard, but now they want to. Finding work is also very difficult, now the only way I live is to stay in bitcoin investment, and always follow aidrop and participate in signature campaigns, this is what I am doing now to survive.

AI is so far off that you won't need to worry about robots replacing humans any time soon. Those 60 million jobs that were lost were transformed into new jobs. As technology advances, so does the skillsets required to make a competitive wage. You can't merely use the exact same skill set over decades without making adaptions consistent with technological innovation.

Once we get to the point of true AI and human replacement, then you might worry. UBI is up for discussion.

Without a doubt there are always opportunities to make money despite the economic conditions in which we find ourselves, however the difficulty strives in finding those opportunities and then to take advantage of them, when the pandemic was at its highest point the restaurant industry suffered a lot, as people reduced their spending on food, and one of the easiest ways to reduce it was to avoid restaurants as we know restaurants charge way more for the food than what it would cost you to prepare the food by yourself, but now that things are slowly going back to normal there are many opportunities in that field, since many restaurants went bankrupt and now the competition is not as fierce as it was before the pandemic.

If you understand trading properly you can still make money even in this present market state. If you don't then don't venture into it.
Even when the economy is in critical state, I think restaurants are always in business because people must eat, perhaps you don't have the experience in that field. There are tones of opportunities online, especially in the crypto space assuming you don't have the skills of web design, developer etc. 
There are offers like being an ambassador, moderator or admin of a project with decent payment, it doesn't require capital except basic knowledge.

That is simply the way the economy works, before electricity and light bulbs became common there were some jobs that required people to light kerosene lamps on the street, those jobs disappeared but then light bulbs needed replacing so those people simply adapted and did a new job, and this is the same, jobs that we re fundamental get automated and now you need to do something else, however it is not as bad as it may seem because as jobs get more complex if you can do them then the pay will be better as well.

urban people are very dependent on rural people where food needs such as fruit and vegetables are produced in the village. but indeed fertilizer is the main element in fruit development, and if it is not fulfilled then fruit production will also not be optimal. On the other hand, the distribution infrastructure must also be well-available so that it reaches the city as quickly as possible

Well I don't know anything about the Romania economy but most of this sectors you mentioned are not doing bad, if they are as bad as you mentioned the economy will be worst off. Especially -

*Fast food/ Restaurant are dead? Sounds like 99% of Romanians cook at home and don't eat out from your statement. Afaik people still eat everyday and the numbers that eat out are most likely higher than those who actually cook at home.

*Web Design / Graphic Design / Programming / Marketing / Crypto dev is dead? Are you sure you are looking at the right places! These to me are the most sort out profession this days both online or offline. If there are no offline offers in your location, search online, if you are good you will get an offer, not everything is dead except you are not qualified.

*Mall/ Supermarkets will be dead soon? Lol! Perhaps you need to move from your current location if you can. Despite the economic situation the world is currently facing, these sectors are still in operation and the 3 I pointed out imo are not doing as bad as you painted, but perhaps in Romania things are bad.
My only advice is relocation.

I am from Romania ...we are neighbors with Ukraine and now Putin is planning to invade Moldavia , it's a satellite country of ours similar to Puerto Rico for USA  or East Germany to West Germany ...
If they invade Moldavia ,we Romanians we will go to war with Russians to help our brothers there no matter what NATO will say. So we are in the hot zone as you can see.It's going to be a blood bath.
And in the end if all goes wrong WW3 will start....so no one is safe from what is happening in that region no matter where they live.

In order to grow fruits and vegetables on an industrial scale, guano will not save us. This is suitable for a small garden in the village.To feed the inhabitants of a large city, large areas are needed. We need to have a lot of quality fertilizers and beetle pest control. You need to have good seeds. Only then will there be a big harvest.

I don't even garden but got curious about this since I live on a nation of islands so I've always wondered what will happen to agriculture if every island got isolated from each other. You are right, nitrogen is easier to get and even possible when practicing organic farming by planting legumes. P and K, not so sure.

I know that seaweeds are used for fertilizer but I don't know what nutrients are in there. If commercial synthetic fertilizers became unavailable for some reason maybe seaweed harvesting would become a viable business. Maybe collecting guano as well. Countries would also probably start mining their mineral fertilizer deposits though that's unsustainable, as the fate of Nauru has shown.

I don’t know, but is that how it is in your country? What makes you think that people are not buying anything? No matter how expensive things get, people will keep buying them and that’s for sure. Supermarkets or grocery stores sells food and household supplies that we all need like everyday of our lives, so I don’t get why you would say that nobody is going there these days?

I go to supermarket and I see a lot of people who are there and buying stuffs they need large quantities. I don’t know where you live and how things are in your country that made you say such thing.

which country do you live in, i don't feel that what you said happened to our country... After my head of state lowered the status of covid 19 from the pandemic, all activities that were initially paralyzed came back to life.  Hotels have started to get busy again, tourists have started to come but are required to comply with health protocols.  Fear about the third world war is only FUD, don't worry too much about things that will definitely not happen.

normal things, from what you mentioned above, such as the characteristics of countries experiencing inflation so that buying and selling power weakens,
for bitcoin if bitcoin goes down it doesn't mean the price goes down but the level of buying and selling is so high that it affects the price of bitcoin itself, it means bitcoin will die

Yeah, still boils down on how someone will adapt himself to the current situation and still survived. We need to reinvent ourselves and humans are good at it, maybe we need to switch careers, learn new tools and tricks, get out of our comfort zone.

So I don't think this is madness, this is just the time that we are living in right now. I know it's hard in the beginning, but again, humans are so resilient throughout history, if not then we're already instinct centuries ago. My point is that we shouldn't give up and complain but instead uses what resource we have improved it to reach the next level.

Correct, with the technological development we are experimenting it is a mistake to think that just because one or two generations ago a person could work for 40 years on the same business doing the same work during that time then things are going to remain the same, people will have to adapt and they will have several different occupations during their lives, whether this is because they simply switched career paths or because what they did before was not profitable anymore or because now their jobs have been automated, the economy will require that we are able to adapt ourselves to the best of our ability, and the ones which are the best at this will reap the greatest benefits.

Yes those are problems but humans have managed to live like that for millennia. A lot of people in my country still live this way, money-poor but they grow enough veggies to not need to buy them. Ideally for someone moving from the city, they'd have a job that can be done online. They have the benefits of living in the countryside (namely having enough space to grow food) and they'd still have money coming in for buying everything else.

It is very difficult to destroy a business.  

People want to make money and make a profit.  Thus, they create new enterprises.  The crisis destroys some enterprises, but creates new ones.  

For example, one of the characteristic features of the current economic crisis is the disruption of supply chains, sanctions, economic restrictions, payment difficulties.  Businessmen can solve these problems and make a profit.  

The digitalization of society leads to stress and a sense of loneliness for so many people.  Therefore, based on this, you can organize yoga sections or hold parties where people will get to know each other and have fun.  

Yes, it is much easier to make money during an economic upturn than during an economic downturn.  

Nevertheless, in a situation of economic crisis, you can do business.

I'm curious about this myself.

Manure is grass and plant life that has passed through a cows digestive tract. In theory it might be possible to harvest grass and process it through an acidic decompositional state similar to a cow's digestion to produce unlimited amounts of organic fertilizer. It is very easy to get nitrogen and carbon from compost and decomposing plant life. The more difficult to obtain nutrients are phosphorous and other elements more commonly associated with fertilizers.

I've been experimenting with this for awhile now as a side hustle and don't a good conception of it. Sources I've read claimed things like hair and bone can be good sources of phosphorous for natural fertilizers. I'm not certain how to go about trying that on a larger scale without it being weird.

I was thinking mixing grass and compost with an easy to obtain acid like apple cider vinegar might produce something like cow manure. And I have read that apple cider vinegar added to compost can have positive effects. But I don't know that anyone has tried to artificially produce organic fertilizer in a process resembling the one that produces cow manure.

I need to improve my comprehension of basic chemistry and have a better idea of how difficult it is to produce fertilizer nutrients like phosphorous before I have a clear and solid answer to this.

Okay, I get the fact that the cryptocurrency market has been bearish for long now, but are you all trying to say that’s the same situation with other sectors or industries? First of all, don’t forget that the market usually goes through cycles like this, it’s not the first time. There are times that we would see the bull run happen, and as a matter of fact the bull run took place at a time when there was believed to be a crisis, and now is time for the bear market to take place and that’s just what is happening, we can’t continue seeing a bullish at all times, everything has its season.

What kind of bonuses that will sustain you and your family friend maybe you can introduce me to that  . Bonuses are meant that we just eat from hand to mount and nothing more than that. Learning a proper skill is better because it can feed the family that you have. This time with the economic challenges, it is obvious that we need to be ready for the hard times but we are going to survive it.

Not completely. Fundamentally, machines are also robots and how they have increasingly dominated agrarian countries even since the beginning of the last century. The question is whether farm workers stop working? The answer is no. This statistic will probably prove that you won't lose your opportunity: "85% Of Jobs That Will Exist In 2030 Haven't Been Invented Yet"

A small example, 20 years ago you probably never imagined that there were opportunities for earning activities such as youtuber, advertising design, and other freelance work. Then it will also happen in the future. You just need to adapt to it.

The purpose of technology is to facilitate human work either repetitively or administratively, that's all.

At a time when the world is being hit by the COVID-19 outbreak, in addition to the inflation carried out by Russia on Ukraine, our income automatically falls, and many investors lose their income, but we must not despair, we must rise from adversity. , we have to learn and work hard to get up from adversity, now I'm learning to earn from bonuses, because this is the only way I have to fill my finances when a pandemic hits the world.

That is what people who invest in crypto should remember.
In this situation, they should not be afraid or panic if they see the crypto price is down a lot because it will be back to the high price and they should just wait for some time.
Even they have a good time to invest more in many coins, including bitcoin, because this time gives them the opportunity to buy many potential coins that can increase in the future.
It is always recommended to manage ourselves not panic seeing the market to prevent it from becoming a weak hand.
While in real-life, everything still works properly, although many things have already changed.

Why seek for advice when it looks like your already doing good by using a bot. Let's be honest here, what do you actually want to tell us? That you are going to sell a highly profitable bot? Bots are created for a purpose and that would be to aid traders if they don't have enough knowledge or if they don't have enough time to trade.

Bots might work perfectly to them and no, bots are not sensitive to the volatility because they are only just a bots anyway, they don't have any emotions like us humans that can get easily affected whenever there is a volatility or a sharp drop in the price of the cryptos. How will it behave will depend on its configuration of course. Nice gains btw if that's true but don't be greedy. Not all times you will be lucky.

Well the truth is everything you’ve stated just isn’t true. Now I’m not going to deny that economies around the world are certainly on hurt mode right now, in part to corona virus and thanks to those fucks in Russia. However there’s always somewhere to find upside, always. Right now is the time you’re glad you have defensive sector funds in your portfolio. I’d do a google search on that for ideas.

Crypto is down but it doesn't mean it's dead. The market is only correcting, that's it but sooner or later we will go up again and you will regret that if you won't use this opportunity right now to buy more coins. This can be felt on other business, I mean they also have their own down times like cryptos.

It can be a perfect time to enter since the stocks or the supplies are still cheap because they have a lesser demand right now but as soon as that business go active again (pretty sure it can) the price of the stocks and supplies are going to rise again but that's not your problem anymore because you already bought yours. You will only need to sell them to make a profit.

Probably because you plan to invest 1 cent in a venture that actually needed a ten of thousand dollar investment.  No matter how sound your plan is if you put little on the financial thing, it will not work.  That said, why do I feel that you are only trolling?

I beg to differ mate, where is your research reports, did you have any evidence that all yiu have mentioned is failing in every part of the world?
We just luckily bounce back from one of the world most dangerous virus and market are all back to where they heavily fell right before corona, some countries just fully open their border and resume international markets, thus the major reason why things have reduced in sales.

Says who? When you said Agro biz? You only focus on crop farming. Have you thought about fish farming, snail farming, what about pig farming. This Agric farming is still booming in my place and they are receiving heavy demand even with high supplies from different farmers. So yiur claim is false.

With the increasing numberd of programming jobs, common!


If you have tried local transportation, then give Uber and other big companies a check and see the millions that are been made monthly and annual.

This is not true to say. If you are saying that, you are saying you are not eating anything into your stomach. Food is important to the body for proper health growth both for the old and for the young person.. This business is one of the oldest and most of the importance because human being can not leave that out whether the rich or for those in the poor group. The poor when they have no money can beg the rich person for money to eat and if the money is given they patronage the food people to eat something. This business is still going on very well, also in war zone. Another business is agriculture because it produce the food in raw form to be process into eating. You need strength and patience for agriculture work.

I think the op is making huge generalizations. Bitcoin is not at its ATH, sure, but it's not extremely low or falling down either. Fast food is a huge industry, and so is tourism. They've faced setbacks because of Covid, but it doesn't mean they are dead and won't revive. Maybe, depending on the country you're in, your personal situation, and the business capital, now is not a good time to start a business. But isn't it always hard and involves risks? Also, I think that it's best to start a business in something you know some stuff about and something you feel passionate about. So if you don't care about construction work, maybe starting a construction business won't be helpful.

Just look for opportunities, you'll eventually find one that will click. It's not going to be easy these days because of the economic effects brought about by those lockdowns. Some people didn't even got their jobs back and many industries got gutted (for example it was so bad for the cruising that ships were dismantled).

I'd say focus on something with minimal starting capital, like doing freelance jobs online. If you want a physical business focus on those that can easily be pivoted to a lockdown environment.

Curious about the fertilizer part. I'm wondering if organics will be able enough to supply farms if those fertilizers based on gas ran out or even outright become unavailable or it would result in a situation like in Sri Lanka where their food production went down after they stopped importing fertilizers. Composting is just basically returning back the leftover nutrients after you harvested your crops, it don't really add anything new to replace what's used for the crops unless you bring nutrients from an outside source (manure from someone else's livestock for example).  

If it's that easy then everyone who wanted a business would have one. Also take into consideration that people's purchasing power have drastically gone down and than many still haven't recovered from the effects of the lockdowns. People are just in need of money these days and would rather spend what they have on the basics.

I think one one sector that might become big if things continue the way they are and become even more dystopian would be security, both physical and cyber. If things get worse, there would be looting and robbery, there would be identity theft and hackings.

Rising food and fuel prices are cutting deeply into disposable income which would normally be spent on entertainment, travel, tourism. Eras of economic crisis are also correlated with greater consumer savings. There were recorded levels of consumer savings recorded around 2020. All of which contribute to spending declines in the economy.

There is such a thing as natural sources of compost and fertilizer. Natural gas based fertilizer prices can rise, at a certain tipping point cow manure could become more viable.

Construction and production wise I'm wondering if 3d printed components and parts could become more viable as the cost of production rises.

There are definitely opportunities out there although some things will definitely become more difficult as disposable income of consumers declines.

This is completely normal, when there is a high degree of uncertainty at the markets each person and business out of their own volition will take a wait and see stance, if a person was planning for a big purchase then they are going to delay it as they do not know if they are going to need that money in the future, and with the economy in a bad shape, the pandemic and the war at Ukraine people are worried about their future, so it is natural the whole economy is showing negative signs at the moment.

Everything is soaring when it comes to prices which is something that a common problem or situation that we had been facing for years.Is there something new? Of course you cant just lend your hand

and expect those things that you do have in mind and with the sudden change of things then you would still need to adapt and find ways or methods for you to get some profits via
business or other ventures.

If you do see that there are problems but wont be enough for that thing to put you down or totally zero then go ahead.Dont aim that big
but minding about on how to sustain.

I have been seeing him posts some nonsense things. So I don't know where he is coming from why he is giving this pessimistic view of things. But if all businesses are dead, then, many people will die of hunger. But here we are, businesses are starting to operate again after this pandemic. We are slowly recovering. Yes, there is war. But to the other parts of the world, life moves on and so with the businesses. Also, as long as you are alive, there's hope on things. So don't be too negative on your life.

I guess the people are preparing for a time when raw materials aren't available anymore. They are keeping their money to buy more stock able foods. I am feeling it too, that we should be ready for the worst to come, world war is so close. Either way the problem won't be solve if you stay still and won't let your money grow, if you don't have a stable job right now then it isn't your choice to be stopping whether those options you mentioned above is almost dead already. Not moving is worst than that, and I guess your beloved money will be gone even you don't move right now so better come up with a plan and choose the best option.

I understand the situation and how hard it is for all the businesses but what else can one expect? We are in a time of pandemic and instead of going thr COVID-19 is evolving in new strains and not just this Russia is threatening to use nuclear weapons on the whole world and they are attacking the peaceful countries like Ukraine. What else can one expect?
The whole world is in a chaos and one have to understand that businesses are barely keeping up, so many restaurants and so many malls have been locked off because of the pandemic alone, regarding cryptocurrencies like: bitcoins, I think this is a market which will keep thr investors afloat at the end of the day, we must make sure to have second investments which are not related to the government because everything is going down. Integrated your business with things that are in tbe demand at the moment, the only way is to be volatile and to keep changing according to Public demands.

Working on the ground requires experience. In addition, there may be bad weather and there will be no harvest. If you spend a lot of money on the purchase of seeds and fertilizers, but do not get a harvest, then in this case you can lose the last money. I think this kind of work requires some experience and if a person has never done this before, it will be better to start with something simple.

Well it goes that during these hard times you'd really have fewer options when building businesses. I don't know about Romania but in my country the food business actually had a small boom when it reoriented itself to mostly deliveries and courier services also got lot of business as result of everyone just having stuff delivered.

I don't know the restrictions you have there in Romania but if it was still as tough as when the pandemic started then focus on businesses where you can just deliver the items or handle the services online.


I guess this is the perfect time to flee to the countryside and live off the land. Unfortunately not an option for most city-dwellers.

Move on to what ? Everything is getting automated ... their plan is to exterminate us ,do to fact we are to many ...you don't believe me wait and see...

Just in USA alone ove 60 million jobs lost do to AI / Robots

I guess everything also happens the same thing, only maybe the effect will not be the same. But we must not be pessimistic and do nothing because I believe this will all end, and we will still have a chance to have a better life. We can remain grateful because we are still allowed to try every day. After all, many people out there cannot do what we do. We may feel that this seems hard, but that doesn't mean we give up on the situation because as long as we are alive, we are still given the opportunity and don't waste that opportunity.

I thought he stopped all this negative blabbering about the world economy because I haven't seen him make a new thread for a while, or maybe I just missed it. A pessimist. For every small bad thing he discovers, he will imagine big things like he has the magic crystal ball that would tell everything that will happen for the next few years.

OP, some business sales are down because there's an obvious reason and I can tell you read current events so I guess you know what that is.
If one of your business is hit by it then move on, there are more opportunities out there. Perhaps, you are just scared to jump on the next line, the new line and had been clinging to the traditional things.
And that's how I solved my problem after losing my job, move on, learn the trend. A little advise.

I also have a little doubt, but overall, it comes from a personal point of view and a lack of recognition. Maybe you are in a locality that has limitations on building and developing for better opportunities in life, even as I myself live in a place where agriculture has never provided enough needs, so if I'm satisfied with the things around me, I can completely put my faith in the field to develop for the future. It is possible to see a poverty problem that I believe is starting and taking place on a global scale, so this area will be very focused. Allow that, rather than forcing yourself to be successful right away.

In difficult times like today, it is indeed very difficult for businesses to stay afloat or get investors. However, the wider community still needs food or financial needs, so these two sectors are still potential at this time. It's difficult nowadays, but that doesn't mean there are no opportunities

spy100 in 2200: The world is going to end, I'm telling you!!!!


Glad to hear that, so this means nobody is buying your scam coin?


Yeah, unfortunately, he is serious, he thinks that because he can't afford to go on vacation tourism is dead, because nobody wants to buy his crappy WordPress themes the whole websites sector is dead, because nobody buys his scam coin, crypto is dead, because his girlfriend has broken up with him there are no women left in the universe. But the main problem with him is that unlike other trolls who usually abandon their tagged account this guy clings to them using all of them at once making this shit.

Let's just hope the mods have had enough of him.

I wouldn’t call it as bad buzz or something, it’s just that we humans were hit by dramatic pandemic!! We were so confident that our science has taken huge leaps and there is no way we won’t have any solutions for emergency situations like this. However, we ended up in it, whole supply chain, jobs and businesses got jumbled with the coronavirus.

It is very obvious to see lines getting disturbed throughout the world. Plus the situation is still the same or by the time we coming to in lined business Corona is again taking its heads up.

Crypto got some flames and heats from this too as we are the investors and we were ourselves disturbed with routine. However things are way way strong in crypto anyways.

Even crypto developers are pretty hot — specifically with Solidity and Rust, most especially on the code security audit side of things. I know most people here don't like altcoins, but yea.

So it's time to buy more. It's an accumulation game! It's a great opportunity.


Except crypto dev, everything else is booming at lightening speed. Web channels are getting more budget because retail sector is stagnant. E-com is the ongoing big thing.

It's not a madness like 2008. The world economy is more mature is handle a crisis like 2008. You just need to spot the opportunity.

Are you serious lol. These professions are still pretty hot and understandably so — we're in the freakin age of work-at-home, people on their phones all the time, and digitizing almost everything.

As well as the other things you've listed — I know it will vary from country to country and city to city, but you seem to just be making excuses. Things are quite bad right now, but not as "dead" as you think (or as you're trying to convince yourself).

The only way to get thru the crisis is to work hard.If you are not competitive enough,you will have to work even harder.
You have a defeatist point of view.I don't think that everything is going to collapse and the situation is that desperate.
It seems to me that you are exaggerating this crisis.Things might get worse,but this isn't an excuse for us to fall into desperation.The global economy isn't falling apart and human civilization isn't going to face the Apocalypse(at least not in 2022  ).

But that doesn't mean opportunities have all gone away. Think beyond the space out of the box. As long as there are people existing, there will be needs and you just have to find the right service to provide. One example would be delivery service that offers food and other stuff delivery. And even if you do not want to risk it with new ideas, you can use old ideas and just adapt to current circumstances. The problem I see with you is your lack of confidence with yourself; your negativity. Don't say can't when you haven't even tried and don't tell me that you have already tried everything because that's just impossible. Be positive op, nothing will happen anyway when you do nothing so better try out things and fail. Eventually, you will find what suits you best and you will succeed. Just keep trying and accept the fact that it'll never be easy and that you will have to fail a couple of time first before you succeed. Who knows, you may be one of those lucky people that succeeds after only a few tries. *winkyface

I don't know how widespread internet in Romania is or how often people go online there but online marketing/e-commerce seems to be one of the most successful ventures during the worst days of the pandemic. It's hard to tell if it will still work in your country though because it's too close to where the conflict is. Maybe just wait until the dust settles before putting up a business.

This is normal in times of crisis, normally almost all sectors are going down and people are looking for liquidity. But there will always be some small sector that goes up, the bad thing is to find which one. Some shitcoin, some small cap, but to get it right or you have a very precise knowledge, or it will be like playing roulette.

I researched almost all sectors that you can do biz with small capital ...on any of them i try biz plan they fail...

Crypto is down ... very few are spending ...from my point of view
Exim is dead
Fast food / restaurants  are  dead
Tourism is dead
Agro biz you need big capital + fertilizers prices are up
Construction ...no one is buying / construction materials prices are up
Cars related biz dying ...fuel prices going up ...here in Romania it's almost 2 euros 1 liter of diesel / gasoline
Anything production related is dead do to energy high prices
Malls / Supermarkets still surviving and speculating ...but they will be dead to as people can not afford to buy at crazy prices they have now
Web Design / Graphic Design / Programming / Marketing / Crypto dev is dead ...very few are buying and want small projects
Transport is a nightmare this days

It's like people are not investing in anything this days and they just buy basic stuff / raw materials ... and waiting for war ...

It's madness not even in 2008 was like this ...madness ...pure madness
