This makes me to think and have come to the realization and conclusion that surviving in this present economic situation needs a total different mind set such that will make you to think out side of the box
Investing in crypto currencies like Bitcoin is not a bad idea at all
So "thinking outside the box" is investing in Bitcoin? I don't see anything new in this statement, Bitcoin has been an exciting investment for some time, but there is nothing new in "investing", it's not thinking outside the box. Investment in Bitcoin or some other assets should be long-term, I mean we can say that long-term investment will bring profit, but that will not help you in "daily" survival.
Thinking outside the box in this context is having the ability to adapt to new circumstances if you have to... like moving away to some other place where you can have a higher income with the same set of skills. It's never an easy step to make, especially if you are going on your own, just with your backpack, relying just on what you know and your skills. Once you have a stable income it will be much easier to invest in some long-term assets like Bitcoin is.
