most people don't move

, geographically speaking. It is curious how most people are (randomly?) born somewhere and they tend to look for the opportunities to make a living on that place, do not go too far or think that they actually enjoy the freedom of deciding to go to anywhere else in the world unless they have serious pressing motivation (hunger, crime,...).

Reading this, I could not help but think that people also "don't move" in monetary terms. They are born in a certain region and they do not think that their money might very well better in some other form (e.g. bitcoin).

I think the main reason why people do this is the comfort zone, obviously, your region or place where you were born provides you a greater level of the comfort zone because you are living around people you know since your birth, moreover moving out is a big expense too, unless you have a fixed income stream somewhere else you will find it difficult to survive anywhere else as you will have numerous expenses in this new place.

Talking about money also, people are generally rigid with their beliefs and it's really very difficult to change anyone's belief as people are really averted to change this is the reason why this happens.

Emotional attachment is certainly one thing, however, I'd also like to add the psychological factor. I've seen it in myself too, I'm struggling to make decisions that will affect my life (such as workplace, moving out, finding new opportunities), anything that has to do with breaking a habit is tough, and location is definitely one of those.

On the other hand, we could also consider material assets, such as housing, which passes from the family to children. My family also owns a house which is going to be passed to me, having your own roof is certainly contributing to not moving out of your comfort zone.

In an economic standpoint, it's hard to constantly move because not everyone is as privileged or as rich as those in the 1%. Not to mention that we wouldn't be in this situation if some legislations placed on our states have been truly aimed at helping us people because, it's almost 70 years since the most devastating war, pretty sure that with a good civic leaders and state laws passed, countries could've easily recovered and even grow.

What happens is that at least when it comes to bitcoin, in order for the average person to adopt it they will have to accept the fiat system they have been using for so long and that was given to them as the only option was in fact a system that was cheating on them, it may seem that such a realization may make it easier for anyone to drop something and then just move on to the better option, but in fact it makes it harder because the first reaction people tend to have is to deny the truth in front of them and go through something similar to the five stages of grief.

Well for me I was born in India but for better education and safer environment I moved to Ukraine. The education was cheaper and it's safer for women as well. Therefore for me the motivation was : Education

Other than that my boyfriend lived in Indonesia for 13 years before he moved with his mother in the UK for better healthcare, education and overall quality of life.

My brother ( cousin ) was a doctor in India but decided to have a nice house and family in Australia since the job opportunities were better and the people were more valued professionally.

Therefore I do think that people do move but it's always dependent on their motivation plus opportunities as well, it's not as easy to pin point.

Looking for gigs

It's absolutely correct that home is where our heart is. However, not getting out of my comfort zone would make me feel complacent and always dependent on my parents. I was independent for most of 2019 where I lived in the country's capital region away from my home city (a 1+ hour plane ride) and I rented myself a condo unit. I did survived to prove that I can live on my own and even traveled few times abroad. But since the pandemic began, I came back home because of the extreme restrictions in the capital region and until now I didn't come back despite the cases are going down and restrictions are slowly loosened.

Whether it's true or not, what I know is that the customs of people in each area are often associated with hereditary things that the area I live in is a community that is difficult to be away from their families. Although by far they are the strongest, only 1 to 2 years. Apart from all that, the strong customs made us look for livelihoods from the nearest environment that can still be accessed manually. So I beg you to understand.
Sometimes considering the modern era, changing this mindset or habit has been in my mind for a long time, trying to migrate to areas that have the potential to earn above-average salaries. But this attachment seems to be difficult to let go.

Its because that's where their loved ones are. In our family, we take care of each other and dont leave anyone behind. Why go to other places when you can have a decent job and income in your hometown? Lets say there's an offer of additional 100$ monthly but you can't be with your loved ones once in a while, then its a no for me. However, thanks to cryptocurrency market I am starting to turn the tables as I could invest easily in it unlike any before. Lots of opportunities are out there that you can access without leaving your home.

With everything I could read in previous posts, I would add that there is one very important thing to consider when it comes to human migration, and that is the language barrier. If someone moves from Bulgaria to Germany or France they will have to learn their language if they want to find a serious job and live there, while on the other hand someone who lives in the US and wants to move from New York to San Francisco, or maybe the UK already has the advantage that he does not have to learn the language.

Yet I think a lot of people are moving in search of a better life in Europe, because the fact is that millions of people from Eastern Europe have moved to the West in the last 10 years, with the addition of 2+ million of those who have come from outside the EU.

The example of Romania perhaps best shows how large the emigration from the Eastern EU is.

Quote from: https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/0b2cc7aa-en/index.html?itemId=/content/component/0b2cc7aa-en

The accession of Romania to the European Union in 2007 represented a turning point in Romanian emigration. While some restrictions on free mobility remained in place as late as 2014, Romanians increasingly have increasingly migrated to other European Union countries such as Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. Emigration has become a major social and economic phenomenon for Romania, the population of which has fallen from 22.4 million in 2000 to 19.5 million in 2018, with outward migration responsible for more than 75% of this decline.

I think this is very well explained with emotional attachment with the place where we take birth. There is thing called as safe-box or may be comfort zone! Everyone right from the birth starts to know the surroundings, neighbours, the area, even the shop at corner and all these things start to get emotionally attached with everyone.

Well I agree, and it is felt by me personally who can't be far from where I live and where I was born. Traveling to other countries is still a fear because maybe we are not ready for different conditions, unfamiliar situations and are not used to the many climate changes in a region. Of course, the language barrier is also the reason for the lack of value in the language education being studied. So that until now I have not been able to leave the place where I was born. Emotional attachments that do not want to leave our parents, force us to look for jobs that we can achieve as much as we can.

Staying in your comfort zone will take you no where,this hinders oneself from realising his or her true potentials.
Like they do say,Aim for the stars you might hit the moon,and nothing is just too big/impossible to achieve,even the word say's "I'm Possible".

Take that risk,it's better to fail and try, rather than not to give a single shot at this.
Take that positive step forward someone out there.

While some people really moved out to their home or country is not all about been comfortable at all, some people locomotion is base on acquiring new experience from another geographical zone or environment that can equally make he or her own people to live comfortably, so everything landed on opportunity because some people preferred unique things to be adopted.

see some people don't have the objectives of diversification of income, it's people that have such perception of diversification of income that will think of enrolling their money into bitcoin in order of multiplication or investment that will yield another. So that is the reason i emphasised on not be stagnant in a particular domain of region, because it's obvious that environment determine the mentalities of people dwelling there.

I think that is because a comfortable zone that they feel since they are young and they feel that they like to stay in their environment without thinking that if they try to search for another opportunity, they can live better than in their old place. The comfortable zone really takes a big part in their lives so that is why they do not want to move to a new place, new environment because they need to adapt to the current situations that can make them feel comfortable.

Maybe that is why people do not want to try something new (e.g. bitcoin) and still prefer traditional (e.g. fiat). They can not see that if they can use bitcoin, they will have the opportunity to have a new source of income that can give them a way to make money.

Basically, humans prefer to be in their comfort zone. so this is why they don't want to change. even so they don't hate change, because it's also a part of them. being born, growing up, and dying in the same place is perfectly normal. rather than trying something risky, they better accept what they already know. this also applies to everything. such as the general public views Bitcoin and crypto, or the system transition to digitalization, or changes in the environment to be more modern. all because humans worry too much about new things.

I am comfortable working in my country without having to go to another country just to make money and get a better job. I think it's okay when we feel comfortable working somewhere if the job also makes enough money to meet our needs, but it still will probably not last when the payoff isn't commensurate with my work.

Many people in my country decide to migrate to other countries to become workers because they cannot find decent work in their own country. Currency value might be something they are considering trying their luck in other countries and one of their destination so far is Malaysia. It doesn't really make sense to step out of our comfort zone when we are earning more than enough salary each month, but it will definitely try to move on to new experience when we are no longer making enough money.

There are categories of people, those who like to explore and adventure to new places to start afresh, while a category that don't share same resolve about moving around. However i feel a move is usually prompted by something say, search for better opportunities, education, crisis etc and people do not just move from places of their birth without good reason.

The majority of the people hate taking risk and leaving their comfort zone.
There's also a big problem with the cost of living in countries,that have higher standard of living.
The real estate prices and the rent are also very high in such countries.
I wouldn't leave my home and my country,unless I'm really desperate.Desperation is the biggest motivator for most people.My life kinda sucks(not financially,but socially),but I'm not that desperate,so I'm not ready for radical decisions,like moving to another town or another country.

Most people don't move because they have a life in their own country (family, friends, language, familiarity of everything). But for many people moving is also very hard because it requires visas, and visas require lots of documents, good official reasons of moving, proof of financial stability etc. As for currencies, I think it's not the same. In my country, the USD is valued more than our local fiat, and people tend to save money in USD or EUR rather than our fiat, although they intend to live in our country rather than elsewhere. As for cryptos, they're newer and thus considered a more risky choice, but they are fairly popular in my country. Not as money, though, but more as a form of investment.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small

Moving to another country or place is hard especially if you are in a country where you follow traditions like you have to be close with your family. Every nation has different tradition, but in our country, I would prefer to stay close to my family even if there's plenty of opportunity in other countries or in big cities which I could easily achieve my goal to be financially free.

What I do is I "stay", and figure out how to fulfill my dreams living in the place where I was born and call a home, and that start with knowing crypto which is one of the reasons that I believe I would be able to achieved my dream soon.

Some people are very much okay in their comfort zone, change is not something they welcome into their lives hence they are bound to be in the same position for a better part of their lives if not all of their lives. This very reason of not wanting to move or change has hindered many from being part of this space, they are comfortable with what they are familiar with, they don't want to try something new, it is possible some people may never try this as long as they live mostly out of ignorance.
