Topic: Is this basically just another way to make money? - page 13. (Read 2714 times)

Well, yes it is. We do make money from it right? so it is definitely another way to make money. And by using, buying, holding or whatever you can do with cryptocurrency, you will have the chance to become rich and earn much more money than any other job can offer. That is why there are so many people interested in bitcoin

Right now I am starting to feel like this is just a way to make money.

The above is the weakness of crypto or bitcoin. The developer's people or team made a mistake by utilizing the projects they built just to take advantage and earn large sums of money in a short time, once they got what they expected they left the project despite the actual vision and purpose of the project it can really be beneficial to build a certain way in the world.

My start with crypto/btc was that I invested a bit end of November last year. I had a few friends that told me about their small successes and how easy it was to just 'start'. It was indeed quite easy. I started to read and research into btc and every other relevant coin. Whitepapers, teams and such. Then I started to shift focus to the block chain, starting to get a grasp on what could be the future possibilities. I started to get real exited and invested some of my savings in a few projects with (to me) real potential. None of those projects appeared to be alive because of speculation only, mainly because they have a vision and actual plans.

So then I noticed that there are quite a few documentaries. I started to watch them all. A few from 2015, 2016 and 2017. I was disappointed to say the least. Everything was about bitcoin and the value/worth of bitcoin. It was about highs and lows, crashes and deceit. Only a few times the actual potential of the block chain was mentioned. Mostly it was about money.

Right now I am starting to feel like this is just a way to make money. Nothing more nothing less. You buy into btc or other coins and in no way are you really supporting the project, besides maybe adding to the order books at the exchanges with some minor effect until whales decided to take over. I sometimes have some sort of dishonest feeling, like the money I make through buying (and seldom) selling is somehow dirty as it comes from people that simply do less research, bail out or simply already had their take.

I started with high feelings of morality, being part of some new future where block chain would be the next internet. Right now it feels like a rat race where you have to grab as much money as possible before others take it before you or from you.

Not that I am ungrateful. I like many projects because of the team behind it that actually want to change the world. But if I look around me, it is mostly those that are in it to make money, a lot of money....and this money has to come from somewhere right (those that lose money)...

What is your take on this? Is this all a phase, part of how this game works?

Have you forgotten that apart from Bitcoin serving as earnings to their Users, It is an anonymous currency on line which allows peer to peer transactions that avoid the scrupulous middlemen unnecessary assistance along the line. With the stable job, you can hold your investment as long as the price get higher in the market because you have another source to spend with your expenses.

Yes bitcoin is a good source of income. It is indeed just another way to make money through different ways such as joining bounty campaigns, selling and buying bitcoins and of course through investment.

Yes bitcoin is a new way how to make money and earned profit. Like me Ive almost 9 years employed and i always find a way how to earned extra profit that should not put so much time because of my work.But, when I learned and discovered this forum and joining to signature campaign its nice to see that doing this now im earning money and convert it into cash and I used it  in my daily expenses without affecting my work.

I think Yes because in my experience I need a lot of money to help my family . Joining the bitcoin help me to earn money even I'm working . Money that i get cannot survive so I join this to help a lot in everyday. It adds income for my family.

There are a lot of businesses people get into just to make money. They way they do it and how ethical they are on the way to success is yet another issue.
Generally the more people are interested in btc, the more development etc and the more adoption with time so I wouldn't necessarily see it as a bad thing.

Another thing is all the scams and ponzi schemes that continuously pop up. Not only people lose money but the reputation of crypto's is being damaged even though it's not the crypto's fault.

I suggested that you must to engage in bitcoin. It really helps you a lot. Many ways of earning huge of bitcoin in the forum. There are many bounty's and campaign that giving different task to the participants and after completing the task they will pay you. Even this is not fast and easy money but you will surely earn. Just put some patience and hard working to this, thus in return all of this will be worth it.
