You're right: there's not too much education about money, even though we're all participants in the money system. Why don't we receive education about money in the education system?

Hello @tarazkp this comment is to ask you some questions hope you will answer them

How can I increase my reputation do I need more HP for it


Back 2 3 week ago I joined upvotebank for vote is n my posts is there any trouble with using such service

I have to say that the major problem over here is lack of information! I cannot overemphasize on the damage that it has caused over time and the effect that is still to come as a result of it. You see over here, corruption and scheming is the order of the day and so everybody is sceptical of EVERYTHING! So combine that fact plus the misinformation or lack of information and you have a recipe for disaster.

Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies.

I spent 68 years as a woman's deepest secret.  When the light hit it I found a loving family. I honestly don't have much use for them. Secrets.

Taboos tend to be the same to me, except it seems to me that a taboo REALLY favors the person that breaks it.  Dirty little secrets.

I have to tell you that I'd have been better served with a bit more enlightenment and education on things financial.  Almost every lesson I learned was at the school of hard knocks.  It's another one of those dirty little secrets that keeps the plebes under control. And we both know the plebes must be kept under control.

I'm not much of a gambler, but from time to time I am a player.  Every time I go to a Casino or Horse Race track I visualize every cent I have as gone.  If I bring money home it's a win for me...

> People think money is to buy stuff - the majority of it in the world is used to control the people who think it is to buy stuff.

There is the sad and awful truth.

Very interesting story. But, did you tell these colleagues about Hive and why? Sorry for this not very correct question :)

i know i had some bitcoins and sell them all low around  9000$ when i thought  they are goona take deep dive now i see i was wrong  and bitcoin price  jump to 11000$

>When there is a group of close friends doing similar, there is more sense of the, "win together, fail together" mentality as well as a bit of peer pressure and FOMO.

I think many people don't have the courage to invest, or better yet, to take responsibility for their action. If there's a group of friends, half of which have already invested, it's easier for the rest to join in as they think "win together, fail together" as you said. This has a double meaning. 1. If the others are also in, you don't look stupid if you lose. 2. If you lose, you can partly blame the others for your failure. Looks strange but it's true.  People are reticent because they want some kind of proof first. 

Financial education is an important topic. There should be a lot more of it at home and in school. What I disagree on is the idea that people don't discuss finances or investing. It's very easy to find discussion forums on the internet about investing. 

I get that it's frowned upon and I don't care. 
Listen, don't listen; just never say I kept it all a secret. 

I think personally it is kind of bad that any discussion of money and investing is shunned in average society. I can see why it would be (since there's a lot of people that struggle financially and so don't want to be embarrassed), but the problem then is that people don't get exposed to helpful advice regarding money and investing. I think such conversations should be more  open.

It is true! That's all you said, but there is also a kind of "secrecy" with the other for fear that the golden goose will be plucked. I have seen that there are people who do not talk about the source of money, out of pure selfishness. As if the well were going to run out. Likewise, in some countries, some businesses are not seen as "legal", so they keep a low profile. Personally I agree with you, if you could talk freely about some things, sex, money, there would be less ignorance and maybe, less mistakes and more initiative. Good Tuesday, @tarazkp

Hahaha, over here they call crypto Monopoly money and if you dare mention it else they think you are a bit dippy.
We have many syndicates and crooks here that rip the people off and there is a great fear of anything that is not deposited into one of our happy major banks.

For some months now I have been trying to talk a young neigbor into opening a Hive account.
He is self employed with two small children and he builds websites for a living.
So, I told him to put his small business on Hive and that clients can pay him in crypto. It can certianly help him and his family, but thus far no go, not yet.

"The difference between a kid raised in an environment that increases financial knowhow or not, can be quite profound on life later".

Indeed it can be quite profound later to learn that you have struggled the old fashioned hard way to work for your money and that the only way to make progress was to depend for growth on the pitiful interest rates from the bank. What a waste of time and money!

A few years ago I was day trading futures contracts. I spent several months studying and paper trading and finally opened an account in a US broker and started trading ETF futures on the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) as well as Eurex.
Soon I discovered the only way to manage trading is controlling your mind. I read many trading psychology books and all of them started explaining how it is our relationship with money which is quite different than the relationship we have with the rest of the matters of our life.

We have fear when we do not understand what we are dealing with, this is what I experience from others when I encourage relatives to enter the crypto world with a very small investment to familiarize themselves with it. Then if we are lucky and succeed we feel we are experts and some of us (included me when I was trading) end up losing as we risk too much. When that happens we feel miserable and do not want to share the experience with anyone, similar to the feeling of anyone entering the crypto market to invest for the first time has when the price goes down.

We are all used to money but very few of us understand and are aware of the emotions it produces in us. From all the books I read, there is one, the very first one I was told to read, which does not teach you about technical analysis or trading, it just makes you understand how your mind processes the emotions you feel when you trade, many of them are the same no matter if you trade daily, for long term or just invest.

The name of the book is [Trading in the zone ](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/253516.Trading_in_the_Zone) by Mark Douglas, I encourage anyone curious about this matter to read it. I've done it several times as it is not one of those books you read fast, you need to process all the words while reading as it is quite profound.
