Topic: Take good care of yourselves (Read 711 times)

Money can't buy health? I do not think so. What if your health is in trouble, and it takes a lot of money to do an operation? In this case, money can buy health. Second: without money, you can't eat clean food, or quality food, and you can't have health. It can be said that money and health are closely related.

For family, your parents will love you even if you have no money. But if you are an adult and they are old, and you still do not make money, no one will love and respect you anymore. Money is not everything, but it will be what connects and sustains everything in your life, without money, you will have nothing in life. Life is like that, it is never easy, and if you want to be wealthy and successful, you need to make trade-offs.

Sometimes investing in bitcoin will weaken us because we have to save to invest, but if we follow the plan, the misery will not last too long. Once bitcoin appreciates, we will have money and plenty of time to take care of ourselves.

Most people tend to ignore it in order to earn, I used to question those people who still goes to work even though they aren't feeling well and as time goes by I realized that not everyone has the privilege of skipping work to rest.
Some of us needs to attend our work even if we're not feeling well cause we are just earning enough money to survive to pay bills and put food on our table.

You make good points, one cannot really enjoy the fruits of their labor when they are dead. I have seen people urging others just hold, to never sell, just accumulate, and work harder to buy more but don't spend it - and for what?

Money is meant to be spent - be it needs or leisure. Spend it, use it, save some of it, and utilize it to better your life and the lives of those you care about. Buy things that you need but also things that give you pleasure - be it food, clothes, tech, or travel (of course, in moderation). You are more than your job so work to live, not live to work.

We do not hold the future, we do not know what awaits us there but what we have is the present to hold onto and to care for, might as well enjoy living in it.

The main purpose of our hard earned income is to live a better life with our family. And we usually work hard to have this little bit better. But addiction to money income sometimes leads people to such a stage that they forget to take care of themselves. 

Our life is not eternal, at any time we have to leave the illusion of this world, we can't take anything with us. What is the use of earning so much wealth in this temporary life if that wealth does not come to one's needs. 
No matter how much wealth we earn, we must first spend that wealth on ourselves. We need to pay more attention to good food, clothing, etc.

We mainly earn money to keep ourselves and family healthy. The purpose of earning money is to spend it at any important time in life. If someone spends Bitcoin for his life then it is best for him because no Bitcoin or any other money can be bigger than one life. It is good to have goals and objectives in life but if you are healthy then everything is good and if you are sick then your wealth and money will not do you any good. But if you have special money like bitcoin invested which can be useful to your children later. If you have wealth then your life will go well and you can happily serve your children their beautiful life. If you leave your wealth invested in bitcoins, your children will enjoy these funds when you leave the world.

what a good expression!! I completely agree with you, I noticed that understanding comes with age when a person becomes wiser and begins to prioritize more correctly and put health in the foreground, and everything else becomes more secondary. Balance is important in life and it is important to stick to it.

If someone ask me if on what is my priority on life, these are the things that I will answer in order: 1st would be my health because you can never buy it through money, 2nd will be my relationship with the high existence, with my family and brotherhood. 3rd would be money because the 1st and the 2nd cannot be purchased by money. The misconception is that people think that the successful people only prioritize making money, this is very wrong because they are also prioritizing their health. I have a lot of investments but I also have an investment to my health. Strong mind without strong body is nothing, if we want to achieve another level then we should train both our body and mind.

I know a lot of people who are doing bad things to theirselves just to have a money to invest it in bitcoin. Don't get me wrong because investing itself is not bad, actually we should really into it. What's bad is ingoring and neglecting your health just for you to have a capital to invest it in some assets.

The point the ops failed to mention in the sentence is the point where his father failed to make a proper legal will before passing on, which left the children at the mercy of their extended relatives based on their traditions.

This practice is most popular I'm Africa and India but other Western countries already have a system that automatically makes the process of willing the properties to the rightful and deserving members of the family such as the children, spouse,  and other dependants, this way no outsider can just claim properties of a deceased person based on traditions.
The primary essence of investing is to live a good life with the potential interest of the investment, and I don't think we have any bitcoinaires that won't take good care of their both physical and mental health.

It is so important to enjoy the work of your labour, you work, save, invest and take care of yourself in every need you deserve with plans and wisdom , your family, health your education e.t.c. but don't over starve yourself and punish your health. You work to earn and as you earn, you take care of yourself and your need, no one knows the time  death will knock.

Unfortunately there are some people who see it fit to take advantage of any situation they can, without thinking about morals or ethics, as long as it benefits their life. Same happened to my mother when my grandfather died.

My grandfather was a very rich person at the town he lived and owned nearly half of it, he was basically king of that town, owned all the houses, farms, many other things, basically half of the land was his, and there were dozens of shops and over hundred houses that he rented to townspeople there.

When he moved from there to the big city, he brought in the money with him, but stopped investing there, and after a series of issues, when he passed away my mom got nearly nothing because all his family wanted to sell everything he owned and just the cash, and the case was argued as like a years worth salary, we all know 100+ properties would not cost a years worth salary, but since my mom never been to that town, she just took it and screw everything else and ignored working hard in a lawsuit or something to get more.

as others said what will you do with your wealth if you are bed ridden or has serious problems on health which is true. That is why other prioritize health before those money though sometimes we do money first and sacrifice our health which sometimes it is better but we shouldn't do it frequently. I used to do this before working hard and sacrifices my sleep which turns out i got a fatigue and makes me out of work for couple of days

If we want to enjoy our life more day then we should pay attention to our health first.  You have to take care of yourself.  If you take care of yourself and enjoy good health, your body's metabolism system will become more active.  As a result, the food you eat will easily convert into energy and heal your body.  If you don't take care of your body and if you get seriously ill in the future, your whole life's wealth will be wasted on your treatment.  So we all should eat healthy food and take care of our body.

I can also relate to this at the same time I can also relate to the OP's story since I too lost my father at the very young age and some properties were taken over on the guise that "I am still too young to manage those said properties", but in the end they are the ones reaping the benefits for so long that all the resources are exhausted already leaving us nothing once we took over. That is why me and my family have to work our ass off extra harder just to get by and have something as savings and investment.

As I've said that I can also relate to this topic since it also reached to the point where I am already questioning my self if was I doing the right thing, or am I even enjoying this. There was also one time where I was sick to the point that I couldn't get up from the bed for 2 good weeks. That is also when I realized that life is really short and I wasted those days not even earning or enjoying, so now I am both doing those things on moderation since anytime we will be gone to the kingdom come.

To make things short I have to balance things out for me ro properly say that I am living not just a slave under my own mental pressure of things.

Some people work their ass for them to save money for the future. When the time comes in their retiring age they could just relax and enjoy their time. For sure they still spend money it's part of life to have fun and enjoy especially when the time of stressful events. I think those people who won't even spend their money just to save and sacrifice their life entertainment, is the addicted to make money because if they aim to be rich in the future they won't even focus on their current situation. I suggest to have fun and save much better if they have knowledge in Bitcoin would be better to invest.

Life is the most important investment as if there isn't life present then our investment were all a waste as we don't get to enjoy them and our next if kins mightn't have access to the investment since Bitcoin investment isn't hereditary like other investment that can be passed on to our children when we're no more, we have to be alive to make the investment we do today in Bitcoin worth it.

Taking care of our health is very important and shoudn't be joked with, we have to eat health everytime and do exercises that'll help you stay fit. Don't starve yourself because you don't want to sell your Bitcoin, if you don't sell now that you're alive the. It'll be lost forever when you're gone.

Life comes with it's challenges, we are human and ought to be ready to face whatever life have in store for us. Different varieties of people comes with their personal problems, some are able to tackle the problem while some are unlucky and they unable to solved their problem which will eventually haunt them down. We are currently living in a free world where government doesn't have a higher hand in our business transactions because most of the investors you see out there uses Crypto transactions. We make money daily, weekly, monthly and yearly from trading and mapped out investment in crypto, it's a life-saver and I'm grateful to acknowledge such an important aspect of making money.

This is my first time I've read an article regarding us telling to stay safe after a long time (I guess?) .

Anyway, I already started exercising thru biking and playing basketball 2 weeks ago, and I've never done this for I guess 2 years mainly because of some crypto related things. Thanks for OP for reminding everyone here that "HEALTH IS WEALTH".

If you're one of the investors that kind of relates to what the OP has shared, maybe it's the time for you to change your habits already. Give at least 30 mins to 1 hour of pure exercise. Whatever exercise it is. Sitting in front of our computer for hours without proper exercise will lead to health complication, and I've already experienced it, and I'm scared that I might get some health complications at such a young age. I know people work hard like the OP has shared, but don't always work for money like what Kiyosaki said. Let your money work for you, so that you can do the things that you need to take care of yourself.

Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Financial Health or whatever health it is. Always take care of ourselves because we don't know what can happen to us in the succeeding years. We might've lots of Bitcoin, but a few years from now, we might be suffering from a disease that might cause our lives.

Basing up on the condition or situation you have that spoken into about children or heirs doesnt have the right on getting the property or assets on which your father owned? How come it did really end up to this?
Unless if he do have some bank loans or whatsoever correlated to it and ended up on not being repaid then they do have the right on getting those parts as some sort of ensuring out on what they would be able to get but in speaking about other relatives or family members, then they cant really just have the rights on doing so. You could really be able to fight with legal manner since you the family would be having the
full rights when it comes to belongings of your father.

In speaking about the lives we've been having is just temporary well its understandable, we do have different perceptions or goals in life on which it would really be just that normal that you would
really be having this kind of approach and on which you would be doing all sorts of things which you would really be that be serious on approach and holding
no matter what.

Well, I totally agree with what you said OP.Thanks for this speech. In addition to that, it is really necessary to take care of yourself specifically your mental and physical health. It is assertive that Bitcoin is changing our lives in a better way. Thanks to this best digital currency we have reached financial independence or freedom and our funds are not controlled by governments or banks However, Time really flies ,we have to enjoy this life and spend money on the things that make us joyful and healthy instead of holding all funds and waiting a large profit plus a miracle to happen.To be honest, that might take years to be achieved and probably the opposite will happen everything is expected in Bitcoin era. And remember that family always comes first , it is a priority to take care of them

There is no doubt that people earn money to make their life easier. All the things of this lifestyle and daily life are good and excellent. Accumulating wealth whether it is in the form of bitcoin or in any other form but you have a hard life and just keep accumulating wealth is very painful. A man earns wealth so that he can eat well, drink well, have a good house and ride with him.If you are earning money, spend it on yourself and pay special attention to your health Because if your health is good, you will be able to earn more tomorrow. Those who spend their wealth on themselves are the ones who live happily in the world Because what you eat, drink and wear is yours,Whatever is left of you will belong to someone else.

Yes it's reality that those who want to make money work hard but don't spend money for making their life easy because they want to save money. I think saving is not bad idea but living life with hazards but don't spend money is not good thing.

Putting more and more money into Bitcoin is good but I think that if a person puts overall money and then there is no other opportunity to buy daily expenses, treatment and many other daily uses. It is the best idea to put little money and then with remaining income make your life simple by spending for different activities.

Daily needs, your well being and good mental health are the first thing to do as a bitcoin investors, make sure you are in good shape before investing in Bitcoin. I have my reason for saying this, a neighbor of mine whom just finished building his house died a week later, meaning he only spend a week in the new house and died, later we start hearing how weak he has been for the past months.

He failed to go for medical checkup because of the money he is going to spend and he wanted to finish his house fast before going for a checkup, I also heard how hard working this man have been all the days of his life.

Make sure you are in good shape before investing your money, do not skip your daily food because you want to save up some.money for investment, a healthy body is a wealthy body, you can't enjoy your money if you have a weak body.

Based on my own perspective it's always better to live  comfortable with myself and family and enjoy ourselves and avoid depriving any basic needs in name of savings, of course I believe in savings extra or excess money for rainy days, I had experience bad behavior of some my colleagues in the name of savings while trying to embark on a massive project that is far above their means thus deprived themselves with comfort and subjecting themselves to unnecessary suffering in view that I had always advice them to "cut their clothes according to their size" and try to live comfortable to live longer thus avoiding all sort of worries and stress.

Even if you exclude Bitcoin, most people do jobs to accumulate money thinking they will enjoy fruits when they are older, meanwhile by then age catches up with you and it's late to do some things. If you are not healthy everything else is fruitless — no matter riches, hot wife, whatever.

I know we shouldn't be too frugal, torturing ourselves to invest in bitcoin. But sometimes, we need to make a little trade-off to be successful. Assuming bitcoin is very cheap, and you know its potential, if you don't sacrifice, don't try to accumulate a lot of bitcoin from now, your life will be miserable later on. But if you sacrifice, accept poverty for 2 to 3 years to accumulate the most bitcoins. And when bitcoin reaches a high price, you will have the life of your dreams, and then you will have more time to take care of yourself.

Bitcoin investors' objective is to double or quadruple their capital in bitcoin, which is perilous because in a bear market, one might lose everything in the blink of an eye. Understanding how the market works and when to buy and sell is one of the most important factors that will make things easier than they appear. No matter what investment one's engage in, stay healthy in the market since there is more to learn than just starving. I don't recall starving myself for any investment; health comes first, then wealth. Sacrifices are made in order to reap big market gains.

Diversification in crypto only applies to those who invest in crypto.
But it is better to diversify into other assets as you said, real estate, stocks, land, gold, and others that have good investment value in the future.

Bitcoin is the main crypto investment that must be maintained

We can all learn from OP's rather sad experience, when there was an unfavorable tradition for him.
Not getting a share of the property is actually legally his right.

There are many ways to keep Bitcoin useful for ourselves. If it is needed then use it and don't think that if you sell Bitcoin when you need it you will lose your profits. Bitcoin will be useful when its investors need it. If it is used as an inheritance and holding for children and grandchildren, then organize everything so that they can get the appropriate share.

Any investment will be very useful when it is properly organized. Don't invest in life when you are miserable enough.
Enjoy your life with some of the profits made from bitcoin investment and set aside some for the future of your children and wife or loved ones.

I feel you OP. My parents were saving up all their lives and they never lived to spend their money. My mother died and got robbed by my brother after death, as he had access to her accounts and quickly withdrew and spent every penny she had. My father wanted to save up, so he's now disabled and has a lot of money in the bank, but doesn't know what to do with it, as he doesn't need another apartment, is too old to travel or drive a car, he can't do anything with all that money. Don't save up for too long guys.


I hope you don't mean crypto diversification, as there's no good way to do it. Diversification among crypto, real estate,m stocks, makes sense. Diversification within cryptocurrencies doesn't as all of them rely on bitcoin anyway, so by diversifying within crypto, you're making it harder and more risky for yourself.

This is the best way to invest only extra fund in BTC from your daily need. Many people wants to save some extra salary for old age. some saving for childrens. Most of them are choosing fiat and used bank for this purpose. i believe that if these fund saved in BTC then it will be much better than fiat because Btc price expected price is high after 5 years and the way people are adopting it, it seems like it's going to cost that much.

If someone makes life difficult to buy btc and hold for long time and not take proper food and others life need than i am also with you that its not good and totally against it. We earn money to live a peaceful and health life. If we spoil our health for money then we have not achieved our goal and same woth BTC also because we buy BTC to make money.

The fact that you are a bitcoin investor doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy your life and live good. It is normal to deprive your self from certain things to get what you want, every goal has a price tag and that is the sacrifice you do to achieve your goal.
Yes, it is risky
 to starve and invest in bitcoin due to the longer period it takes for the investment to be profitable but it's worth it because life it's self is a big risk. But the aspect of not living good or eating good food because you want to invest in bitcoin is what i dont support. Whatever it is, make sure you eat good and stay healthy for proper investment.

Good health is better than wealth, so if you are spending bitcoin for important things in or for a purpose is a good thing, why are we in investing, we are into crypto because to maintain our selves and our family. We know some person's strive their selves to achieve their goal, is not good to strive our selves, let first take good care of ourselves before investing, if we don't take good care of ourselves, we will feel weak. And if we don't have good health, we will not be strong to invest. So we have take good care of ourselves to get enough strength to do what we want to do to success.

Well said man! Taking care of yourself and your family should be your priority in life. Being healthy and having your basic needs met is what really matters. So, you should be thankful for being alive. Making a lot of money isn't really a priority for me. I'm okay with making enough money to make me happy and afford what I truly want. I'm not like some greedy people who keep thinking about money even when they're already millionaires! I believe that happiness cannot be bought with money since I have already seen many rich people who are depressed and not enjoying life

We can't get to the top of our goals in life without restrictions. Sure, we are in a transient life and it's always important to invest into accessible wealth. Bitcoin is a great investment for our next generation and every child will be proud of his parents if they passed on a private key filled with Bitcoin to them before they leave Earth. However, our health matters and if we don't take good care of it, illness can consume all the Bitcoin we've been saving in our entire life. Hence, it's not about saving Bitcoin, but also working on a business that'll generate us bitcoin. Such an inheritance to our kids is safer because it's open and we don't know when we'll leave this surface, maybe we may not be oppurtuned to give them the private keys before answering nature. That's why opening a business that they can use to generate bitcoin even when we are gone is better off.

For any being, there is no need to tell me to spend the money I worked for good well-being and not on some kind of enjoyment. Though it may be difficult to sell one investment, if it seems like the last resort, then one had to let it go if it deals with life.

It's definitely true that life is short, and we should enjoy the fruits of our labor while we can. While it's important to plan for the future and work towards our goals, it's also important to maintain a balance and not sacrifice our well-being in pursuit of wealth. Money and assets are just one part of life, and our health, relationships, and personal fulfillment are also important. So it's important to prioritize self-care and enjoy the present moment while also planning for the future.

Don't spend on Btc more than you can, always remeber diversification is great thing

They wouldn't just drop off their support in bitcoin if they're benefiting from it. Good thing with these governments do realize that their citizens are benefiting from it and treats it as a source of income which adds up to the purchasing power of their citizens.

And from that, it will eventually go to their economy indirectly even if it's converted into fiat but that's the kind of appreciation that other countries don't see with it.

The negative hearsays are what they're going with and that's why instead of supporting it, they're making regulations or even ban it that don't benefit them and mostly their people.

All governments around the world can not come together to destroy Bitcoin, some countries are really benefiting from Bitcoin and they plan to always support Bitcoin, in some parts of the world, the government has realized how life-changing Bitcoin has brought for its people since they can't provide enough jobs for all the people in the country, they are now advising people to be tech-savvy, and focus on blockchain technology.

Things will get better as time goes on, those who are banning Bitcoin should continue, it's a matter of time before they will realize what they have been missing all this while, those who embraced Bitcoin are not stupid, they are just smarter and they understand the benefits that comes from the blockchain technology.

One of the reasons we invest is to get returned and the return utilized on our needs. if the need arises while the investment is running, the investment or part of it can be terminated and used for the need. Health is wealth and when their life, there is hope.

I appreciate your view that success can be achieved through means other than Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. After reading your post completely I noticed that some of the points you made reveal the emotional side of you as a human being. Yes it is completely true that some people strive themselves from many things to ensure a better future for themselves.  Your relationships, love, and everyone around you are with you because of your success and earnings. Whether we accept it or not it's a harsh truth that money can change one's luck.

I am very sorry for your loss but if your father has left all his earnings for his children then what's wrong with that? These days very few children give proper respect to their parents and many cause troubles and problems for them. But parents still do everything for the happiness of their family. They work like animals to secure the future of their families that proves their limitless love.

In reality, no one can predict what will happen tomorrow, and age has no bearing on when someone will pass away.but nevertheless we are to play some rules of risky in order to meet our desire.Anyone who aspires to be wealthy must make some sacrifices, particularly in terms of how they spend their it money.

However, I'm not saying we shouldn't spend money on our health because it's crucial in all facets of life. But what I'm trying to convey is that when we're making an investment for the future, we need to set spending limits—especially in certain areas, like buying trendy items when we are building up any investment particularly Bitcoin investment, it will be difficult for our investment improve if we are spending out from it.

All this is so until you have a couple.
If someone is a crypto enthusiast, eager to get rich quickly, then it's better to be a bachelor. Those who have a family will understand me perfectly now.
The fact is that any person will put a family above the goals of enrichment, and in any case, it becomes harder to earn in the crypt, since there are fewer needs and less time.
But!
Family is very motivating to work! You begin to feel a charge of energy, because you earn for the people you love.

Yeah, it is important to get your children a life where they can do whatever they want. If your children want to do something but can't do it because they are forced to work, then it will not be really a smart idea to keep it going. I personally believe that I would have written books if I had the time, and I would have spent many many days learning how to write a good book.

You may want to become a cook, some other person may want to draw, some other may want to be a trader, or a wall street banker, some other may want to be a teacher, everyone has different wishes in life and if you do not worry about money at all, then you could work towards that. If I can make enough from bitcoin, I want to leave a world where my children can do whatever they want.

Yes, you are right, no one knows the type of children God will send them, we all hope for the best kids but things don't always come out as we hoped for, the end game of everyone's hustle is to have a good life.

I plan to hold my Bitcoin for the long term too but I am not so desperate about it like it's not a must for me because all I ever want is a good life, money will make your life easier, so yes Bitcoin can make anyone's life better too. We must not plan to hold Bitcoin to the grave, it won't benefit the holder.

Enjoy yourselves while you are working hard to achieve your goals, let this be your end game.

I totally dig your outlook on the whole Bitcoin shebang and the mad chase for moolah. Like some brainy philosopher dude once spouted, "Money can't snag you happiness, but bawling your eyes out in a swanky Merc sure beats doing it on a two-wheeler." No doubt, a fat wallet can score you some sweet comforts and security, but let's not forget the priceless goodies in life, like love, health, and those happy vibes.

That said, we can't just brush off the crazy profit potential Bitcoin and other cryptos are packing. But, as you nailed it, we gotta find that sweet spot between raking in the dough and taking care of ourselves and our loved ones. I mean, what's the point of all that cheddar if we're flying solo, right?

It's really ridiculous, imagine getting bitcoin for a couple of years and still skinny.Let's make sure that our health and time for crypto is balance, don't priority your bitcoin over your health because oneday, once the bitcoin become super high and you are dying, the years you've been holding bitcoin will be waste because how will you use that if you died right ? So it's important to take care of yourselves/ourselves before becoming rich. Give time to yourself and accumulate daily needs.

It's possible that the  U.S.A government can kill bitcoin, not just bitcoin but all the crypto's I think. We should still care about this problem because if all of the government's in every country joined force together, it will became threat to us because cryptocurrency is our life and if they kill bitcoin our life will be worst. Hoping that their plan will stop, our world needs bitcoin and crypto currency  and it's really helpful to our world.

I keep saying this, life is short, take care of yourself, in as much we save and invest we shouldn't forget ourselves. If there's something you need to do with your money, do it. Take care of yourself and family. You don't have to be too uptight with your money because we won't be here forever because all the investments you're dying for will still be here.
It's right to have goals and objectives in life, but don't forget to have a life. The main purpose of investing is to have a better life, so when you have an asset and you can't give yourself a better life then there's no point in having the asset.

This doesn't mean it's wrong to keep assets for your children, it means take care of yourself too. Live your life but have priorities.

We all have some kind of goal in our life. We work to reach that goal or making that dream come true. Depending on our needs, we can invest in multiple savings. One could be to achieve our goals and one to help us in emergency situation. If we can't get what we are HODLing for, then it has no meanings.
And having millions is not everyone's dream. People can be happy with what they can get 3 time meals. They are the happy one. You have said some great words, OP. This is how life should be. We are not here to live forever. Let's enjoy what we have and stop stressing. Anything that is happening on an extreme level is bad. We should put a limit on everything we are doing. Not all of them maybe, but some which are important.

This is good to consider since we consider it as cryptocurrency so we should at one way use it for what it is intended for. It should be used when there is nothing that we can do to get money to be used for important things. This can prove how this digital currency can be useful in the daily activities that we can do.


I agree since we should never compromise the basic necessities just to have a portfolio of investments in cryptocurrency. Basic needs should be the main thing to consider. We should always assess our financial capability. Assess how well you can provide your needs since what's the point of holding the coins if you will have hard time in dealing with your financial obligations. It is indeed important to always put ourselves first and always take good care of ourselves.

It hit me pretty hard right now. I mean, while reading this, I was really struck by this, not in bitcoin but in my work-life balance. I mean, it is very stressful, we don't have leaves, and even on holidays we still continue working. I will be taking an emergency leave tomorrow just to relax and try to recover from my stress. This is a good reminder to those who keep grinding just to earn bitcoin (i am also one of those as having is 1 year away), so we should have time for ourselves like have a drink and have fun! I am just glad that I have this kind of behavior, like having celebrations every month, but when it comes to work, I would not be taking a leave because my job is my life.

Truth is that even if you will your bitcoins to your next of kin, they may just squander away it all ten times faster than it took you who suffered to buy and hold it spent.

This is a very true statement.

I try to keep my bitcoins bad long as I can, but if I have pressing needs that I know some percentage of my bitcoins can solve, I do not hesitate because I know that it is only the person who is alive that can really spend and use bitcoins.

In taking from my bitcoins, I try not to empty my portfolio, and before I take, I always have a strategy to replace it.

Bitcoin is going to outlive everyone of us so I see no reason to have the mindset to hold it forever while depriving ourselves of the finest things of life. Of what use is accumulating bitcoin to create wealth through holding at the expense of your wellbeing? Life in the present, take time to enjoy what you have assiduously worked, the fruits of your labour with family and friends because nothing is promised and nothing is guaranteed.

Truly, can’t argue with OP here.

It is necessary to balance between making money and enjoying life. You can't always chase after the accumulation of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, sacrificing your present, hoping that one day this will make you a millionaire in the future and then you will live a luxurious life. If it is possible to save without harming yourself and your family, then why not do it. But if there is an urgent need for money, then there is no need to be stingy and part with currencies with a light heart. For example, NicNacCoin did just that - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62059702

Bitcoin is a tool that allows you to achieve your goals, but not an end in itself.

I can literally relate to this since I didn't have a father an a early age, and I also have the same situation as my relatives split my father's allocated inheritance to all of my relatives leaving only a small plot of land that me and my 3 siblings have to cultivate. When I was young, our family was always taken advantage by our relatives (father side) since my mother doesn't have the power to retaliate given that her position isn't that well off in our household a lot common in an eastern household/tradition, and due to that some plots, harvests and even opportunity given are not passed down to us. I am the oldest grandson in my father's side, and the funny thing is that my father is also the oldest son on their family, but at that time that they are milking us all the benefits, they just immediately assume that I was young and underage at that time and I still don't have rights to complain, so for the sake of "management" they took the liberty of managing it on behalf of my father (blatantly scamming us). At the very young age I am already aware that they are milking me and my family, I also once confronted my grandmother and mother at that time, but they just couldn't help it. Although it felt bad at that time that it even reach to the point that I was even threatened by my uncle which is the brother of my father, now after so long, they no longer have the voice to speak in every family gatherings, in fact I am the one already dictating most of the family decisions now and even my grandmother's properties.

I was all aware this whole time while gritting my teeth and sucking my thumb not to take revenge but to be able to reverse the table where my odds are against. I know it's really hard, but on those times, I learnt to be independent, struggle as hard as I can, and be responsible for all the decisions I made. Now, I can gladly say that I have survived and will survived whatever comes.

To be honest when push comes to shove, there is no one ready to be there for you, there might be some but for  sure they will have reasons not to fully help you, you'll just have to learn to live with this and struggle and I do really admit that one thing that really matters is to take care of yourself along the way.

If I were in the place of the OP, I would send you in the ass, because you are ironic not only with a smile but also with a speech, over the grief of people. But your nickname speaks for itself, no wonder.


What is the OP doing wrong? Why so much cynicism?


OP, I'm on your side, you're right about a lot of things. Our parents live for the sake of their children, constantly saving for themselves. By old age, having accumulated some capital, some become victims of ingratitude. Not all children understand that everything they give to their parents will have to receive as a boomerang in old age. Some simply consider themselves eternally alive.
But you are right that you should not deprive yourself of everything. You need to live, trying to please not only loved ones but also yourself. After all, if we do not love ourselves, then we will not be able to make others happy.
Waiting for a profit from Bitcoin, putting your life and time on the line, does not always end colorfully.

I share the same mentality as you - life is not just about making money and becoming rich. Having a lot of money and reaching a million dollars is not the ultimate goal of life. I believe that someone who has a sufficient amount of money in their bank account, lives in happiness with their family and friends, and spends money on things that make them happy is achieving their goal.

Just sitting with millions of dollars in your bank account while your life is miserable does not make sense. It all comes down to your mentality and how you can make your life better.

As you rightly say, everyone should enjoy their life. While it's important to work hard, one should also prioritize their health and happiness, By the way, I'm sorry to hear about your father, and I hope his resting in peace now. It's true that no one knows when they will die, which is why it's essential to live a happy life, with less stress and much love.

Eating a balanced diet, good sleep, and constant exercise are very important to everyone. There is no need of holding your Bitcoin when you or your family members are dying of hunger There will always be many opportunities to buy because Bitcoin is still in its early stage. Medical attention is also important. Sometimes because you don't want to spend much on medicals some persons engage in home remedy practice or self-medication which is not proper. We should not also engage in different jobs because we want to invest. These jobs will always overstretch us and make us miss rest, sleep, and exercise. Some people sleep less than four hours per day because they want to earn and invest more in Bitcoin.

People will always say that they want to live an inheritance for their children or they want to make their children financially stable. How are you sure your children will make proper use of these investments? We should take care of ourselves because we have just one life to live.

Hodling is not for everyone. A Bitcoin hodler should also have something else that should sustain and fund their daily expenses, possibly something that will drive their attention away from how much worth of Bitcoin they own. That way it will be more easy to hold for as long as they wish without fear of depriving themselves anything.

If there is nothing else that generates income for a Bitcoin holder then they have no point holding because they will own end up depriving themselves their basic needs as well as the good part of livelyhood.

This is why I never say it's bad to spend your coins to feed yourself, family needs, health, college or something that will make your life brighter.

Bitcoin is good as an investment, but it can be used as a currency too. So if your financial are still not stable, it's fine to use your coins and you can hold it until your financial already stable. Learn a new skill to get a job with better payment, don't miss a good chance if you can do it and you need to sacrifice few thing.

I think that many people simply aim too high, and there is a saying that says "he who flies high, falls low". If someone thinks that $1 million will solve all their problems, then they are greatly mistaken, because that money will melt in the blink of an eye, because the more money you have, the faster you will spend it.


That's one of the human flaws, they grab and collect so much that they don't even realize that their life has passed without them doing a lot of the things they wanted to do. In the end, fate plays with them and everything is inherited by someone who doesn't appreciate it at all. Therefore, I agree that everyone should live in such a way that they do not deprive themselves of some basic life needs just because you think that the price of BTC tomorrow will be higher than today.

In the end, we should use Bitcoin as much as possible as a currency, because that's the only way it will fulfill its purpose.

Actually I considered your point of view as advice to people who is curious over investment than maintaining of the life, actually anyone who is into cryptocurrency investment especially long term investment has money that can sustain him or her, before someone venture into investment that will gives a million dollars its obvious that the person is living a good life. This advice should be noted by our newbies who is extremely conscious of making millions for investment without been curious of feeding the stomach properly, we need to take care of our bodies during the time of investment, because money is in the existence before our arrives on earth and it will also remain until we return to maker. Think wisely for crypto investment.

Well holding is a thing of choice and spending is also a thing of choice, leaving properties depends on the individuals because in developed countries parents always have a lawyer who would read out his properties according to his willing amongst his childrens. Only a local country and villager could behave the same of illicit taken what doesn't belong to them if their relatives dies. In the Western countries' there's always a lawyer who backups your properties and information to their children, either when they become of age; Taking good care of ourselves is something we can't hide from, and there is i always said "Anyone who can't take good care of himself whenever him or she breaks down they will definitely do that".

So why do we make investment and savings?
Practically we do that for our future use and also to solve any issues that fast arises, however money is meant for spending and taking good care of ourselves to living a healthy life.

It is very foolish to have money to invest in bitcoin but not enough to spend on yourself because you can't hold onto anything for a long time if you are not in good health. Make sure you are capable of making any investment before you consider it. For example, make sure you are in good health and have enough money to take care of yourself. Even if you invest in bitcoin, you sell it when the market rises and you're satisfied with your profits, despite claims that holding bitcoin for an extended period of time is the best way to make money.
Investing entails having wealth that you don't want to use at a particular period of time and being content with who you are, I suggest know more about bitcoin before making an investment, cause person who is unable to invest before spending money on themselves is not knowledgeable about investing.

Yes, agreed..The importance of living life to the fullest, as time is not on anyone's side although Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may offer financial opportunities, it is important to remember that life is limited and taking care of yourself and your loved ones should always come first.

If all the governments were united in stopping Bitcoin, they wouldn't be able to do it. There is very little chance that the governments will unite to stop it. Bitcoin has many economic benefits and they have proven it.

If for them Bitcoin is a threat and tries to stop the Bitcoin transactions through removing internet connection in their country, they are wrong. With the help of Lightning Network, Bitcoin transaction is possible through radio waves. Therefore, we can say that these time Bitcoin is unstoppable.

It is still possible that the government will kill bitcoin, if all governments join forces against it. If they did, it would be very simple to destroy bitcoin, but the bitcoin problem is not a threat as serious as terrorism that they have to find a way to destroy it. So the possibility of that is almost non-existent, countries will be for their own benefit, so if bitcoin is beneficial, there are still countries that use it.

The important thing is that your life must be balanced between having bitcoin and living healthily. You can't live frugally by trying to buy bitcoins. It's just not worth it. You should have a healthy life, and then you can try to make money and buy bitcoins as your investment. Live your life well while you have a bitcoin investment that can provide benefits in the future. Your life will be successful if you balance everything and enjoy life.

And if you need to sell your bitcoins to make ends meet, do so because it's the most important thing in your life. So enjoy this life with your bitcoin because life is only once, and we must enjoy it. But it would be better to sell your bitcoins when the price is at its peak.

As the saying goes "health is wealth" it is only a healthy man that can create or make wealth for himself. As we are in the journey of life trying to make earns meet through bitcoin investment, jobs onboard this platform, our professional engagement, our careers etc it is good we take good care of our health because it is only in good health we can think well to make the wealth.

Engage in regular exercise, go for regular check up, stay hydrated, avoid too much alcohol, avoid smoking, give your body enough rest, these are the few tips i can say about but you can do a research to get more tip. It is important that we take it serious as so as not to breakdown unexpectedly.

It is only some one  alive and healthy that can be able to eat of the fruit of his or her labour.

TAKE YOUR HEALTH SERIOUS!

There are several ways to manage it, and because of that we can hear discipline's knowledge about Asset Management, If you don't know how to manage it, you will spend your bitcoin and exchange it with fiat. ~ asset management is a methodology for efficiently and fairly allocating resources among valid and competing goals and objectives ~ (Danylo dan Lamer, 1999). So, bitcoin is the future, we are necessary sure bitcoin make stay wealthy in the future, but if it's urgent and forced to sell it (if have asset management) we can't force to sell it all.

I tend to agree with the OP.
I've been years joining signature campaigns but to be honest, I didn't have Bitcoin in my wallet, I spend most of the time when I needed it.

Don't hesitate to invest when it comes to your health.
But don't feed too much yourself it should balance between enjoying the present and preparing for the future.  By practicing self-control and wise spending habits, you can ensure that you aren't sacrificing your current quality of life while still investing in your future financial stability.  Being financially prepared can also provide a sense of security and peace of mind, knowing that you have a safety net to fall back on in case of unexpected events in the future.  So IMO, it's important to find a healthy balance between spending and saving to secure a stable financial future for yourself.

All I can say is spend wisely your Bitcoin.

"Health comes first", and with that even if you have all the money in the world, and if you become sick because of your lifestyle, not even BTC can save you. I think what the OP is trying to point out is that it's good to save and have bitcoin and make profits out of it, but we all should understand priorities in life. That there is more important things that we need to take care of like our health, or help someone in our families financially if they are suffering from health issues.


Yeah, still doing since since day 1, used my bitcoin on whichever way I want, pay my bills, from credit card to internet. Exchange it to cash most of the time if I needed to buy some stuff. And then obviously, I used my crypto to gamble.


I think I have mentioned it before here, my sister was hospitalized 2 years ago and diagnosed with cancer. She died last year peacefully, and thanks to Bitcoin, I have converted some of my stash, to help her pay the hospital bills and then funeral.

While I do not endorse the notion of depriving oneself of basic necessities for the sake of investment, I believe that investing instills the principle of deferred gratification. This entails forgoing immediate gratification in order to secure a greater payoff in the future. What makes Bitcoin appealing is its predictable four-year cycle plan, which enables investors to reap profits at present and simultaneously plan for the next four-year cycle. It is important to note, however, that traders must diversify their investments to mitigate the risks and make up for losses in bear markets.

Every body want to be millionaire but The truth is, it's hard to be Satoshi or any rich man because they worked hard and spend life on making this while we want to be millionaire without learning, working and spending our time.  I believe on crypto and Btc but for making first Million we have to invest in K$ and then hold for long time which is itself big target for average salary person.


Totally agree with you, You spoke my heart. accumulating Bitcoin is very necessary to stay wealthy in next few years but if you did not spend BTC on those things you need then its  it is to put your life in torment. Life has no guarantee and we should hold only if we have extra money. In other case we should spend and wait for time to favor us and we will accumulate again when our money more than our need.

The purpose of every investment is to solve problem at any given time they arrive. Holding Bitcoin while you are living a miserable life is not investment but punishment. If you can not spend to help better your life while you are alive, your relatives would help you to spend a little for your funeral and share the rest among themselves.

There's no point in saving for the future while living a pitiable life if there is means. However, spending unnecessarily all in the name of no body knows tomorrow without saving is also not ideal. Maintain the position of being moderate, spend wisely and save wisely in order to secure your future and save yourself from financial handicap.

It's a life lesson for everyone, but I guess each one of us will have to find it the hard way.

I mean if we life a frugal life just to accumulate Bitcoin, there's nothing wrong with it. However, if there is such emergencies in our life, at least we have to take some from our stash sell and used it for that purpose.

It's just balance though, most of the time we forget it, but as we mature and age, we all know that it means, including in our bitcoin investment. So yes, spend it from time to time.

Every successful person had a difficult past, and they have to work really hard to ensure their success in life. But what if this is the only opportunity they have to work hard and HODL bitcoin? You have to leave other things to take advantage of other opportunities.
To hodl bitcoin, I can't advise someone to consume less food, but one must work hard to accomplish their goal.
These words should serve as a dissuasion to anyone trying their hardest to invest in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. They may lead them to believe that their efforts are in vain and that they will be wasting their time. The money will be divided by other people.
We all know that no one knows when their time will come, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't work hard or, when we do work, invest in bitcoin since it's a lengthy process.

All of us does have their own wishes and goals in life which i do agree into your points that we are living on a life which is borrowed or something not ours, which it does mean that it is really just that right

that we should really be living our lives on something that we are really that contented or achieved on what we do hope for rather than on non spending on things and keep on saving up until you die.
The sole purpose on what you are doing would definitely be coming to waste or something that you wont cherish out but somehow your family or to those who had been left would be able to benefit
it out but of course it is really just that right that we should be the one who would really be spending it thats why we should really be that wise.

That is right --health is the most very important investment. ^{[health is wealth]}
But it does not matter you did not need to have an investment, if you earn $10 a day, there should be at least $2 for saving because you will never know what happen in the future.
Perhaps some people criticize others for selling their bitcoin before a bull run, but it is important to remember that everyone has different financial goals and circumstances. What perhaps be the best decision for one person may not be the same for another. If selling your bitcoin during a difficult time or before a potential increase in value, then so be it. It is your money, and you should feel empowered to make decisions that are in your best interest --at least in the bad time, it solved your problem.

I don't understand why someone would keep some bitcoin and refuse to spend it, even if they needed it to pay for some urgent expenses at the time. The main goal of saving is to have something to use when a financial emergency arises in our lives.

Denying ourselves the pleasures of life, even when we desperately need them, is a betrayal of ourselves. This does not imply overspending to impress others when you do not have to. We all have to make some small sacrifices for something bigger in the future, but that should not be traded for the comfort of living a good and healthy life while it lasts.

You are right, we have to enjoy the results of our hard work, which we have obtained from work, but it is unethical to suffer just because we are forced to invest in bitcoin, while we ourselves are in a slump in many ways, including all the needs reduced, which should be enjoyed during our lifetime.

If it is urgent, of course I will also sell my Bitcoin ownership, but I don't care about the price of bitcoin later, what is important is that the pressure is fulfilled in terms of health or our daily needs for food, so I will prioritize this rather than investment.

But while I'm still healthy and there's still a job with the opportunity I'll take advantage of bitcoin as a future investment, now I'm still strong enough to work, of course I won't waste it.

If you have all the Bitcoin in the world and you are not healthy,it means that you are not wealthy because you can't function normal to control or enjoy your wealth. Good health means riches to me because you will be able to live a happy life. Someone who is unhealthy will not be happy.

It is said that you should use your extra money that you don't have plans for to invest in bitcoin after you must have taken care of all your necessities. Food and good health is a major necessity for us to live long and achieve our goals. See bitcoin as a side investment and not a million dollar project that you are putting all your hope on.

Thanks for the thought, today we will all be more aware of what to do after your words.... lol

In reality, I decided to spend my bitcoins some time ago because I know it will be the only way to achieve mass adoption.  We have to start moving our satoshis and not think about holdare.

Definitely, health is wealth!  It is better to take care of our health while we are engaging in Bitcoin activities.  I do agree that all wealth earned will go to medical expenses if we do not take care of ourselves.  So if we wanted to fully enjoy our hard work longer, we should give attention to our health.

Not giving importance to one's health is a common mistake for everyone.  I have seen people thrifting themselves and buying unhealthy cheaper foods in order to save money and in the end spend their saved money to cure the illness caused by the accumulated lack of nutrients through years of savings.

If someone spends their bitcoin on a life importance and purpose, that's totally at its best use. There have been people that discourages the holders because they've sold before the bull run. So what if they do that? They've done the right thing of selling it because they know that it should be and there's no other source they can get aside from owning bitcoin to keep its wealth there.
Never regret actions that you have to sell bitcoin in a very dire situation because that's how it should be and no one will change that fact and it's your money, not theirs.

I quite understand what you are trying to convey to us through this thread, prioritizing the passage of life is the most important thing in this case, regardless of your status in this world, like someone who wants to survive, if you have any sufficient assets valuable and can save your life, why don't you try to use it today to save your life so that what you store your bitcoins can be useful in helping to sustain life. I think like that, the point is to use bitcoin as wisely as possible to make you better and stay alive.

But I feel wrong about saying that the government can kill bitcoin? in what way and how? The view that lies in me is that bitcoin will never die if electricity and the internet are still used on this earth.

There is nothing bad about denying yourself some certain comfort to attain a level of greatness. Is good to take care of yourself; your mental health must be stable to have a  healthy lifestyle. When you plan to invest for a certain number of years, all things being equal you should stick to it.

What happened to your father? He left you with tons of gold and millions and you are not friendly to him?  I just wanna make it clear, it does sound like you are not done with your sentence.  

I'm sure people who invest to profit love themselves, sleep, and eat a lot as well.
Anyway, while you enjoy, you might as well just make sure you leave your riches and coins to someone you love regardless of whether they hate you or not.

We all have this dream of becoming a Satoshi millionaire, many people have the target of making their first 1 million dollars and yes that's a good thing, this is possible with crypto and Bitcoin and I am not here to discourage you.

I have seen people taking this holding of Bitcoin too far, where they are doing all they can to accumulate Bitcoin. Like limiting their spending by all means, eating less food, and doing harder jobs, I just want you to know that we are living on borrowed time.

Life isn't ours forever, take good care of yourselves, it is better to enjoy your labor than working all your life and leaving it behind for some people who aren't friendly to you while you are alive to enjoy your sweat.

I am talking from experience, since my father died, everything he worked for, all his properties was taken over by those who despise him in the family when he was alive, since we have a very weird culture in the family we the children can't do anything about it.

Bitcoin has a longer life span than our lives, we are going to leave Bitcoin behind one day unless the government finally killed Bitcoin  .

Time is not on anyone's side, as you are working hard to make sure your dream becomes a reality make sure you are also spending on yourself and make sure you stay healthy.

If you have to spend your Bitcoin to stay alive, do spend it, you will get another.

If you have to spend your Bitcoin to save a life, do it, this is not the end.

If you have to spend your Bitcoin to have a better life, do it, Bitcoin or Crypto isn't the only way to become successful.

Take Good Care of yourselves.  Happy Easter
