These people are taking profit much the same as they would from traditional stock investments. There are purely baseless speculative stock investments however the majority of stock investments are based on recurring (annual) company earnings or profit. People invest as an investment & take prof...

Prince Siddartha named his son with a meaning such as " obstacle". According to legend Prince Siddartha left his wife Yasodara and the son , on the day Rahula was born, as he doubted whether his mind will be bound not to go to seek enlightenment when the son grows up. Prince Siddartha lef...

He did it to fulfill his duty and save himself and his loved ones. If a man left behind his wife and child to fight in a war and protect his family and loved ones, then he would be called a hero.

Thanissaro's view is that yoniso manasikara encompasses the three components of mindfulness: they are sati ( the remembering of dhamma tactics from the past), alertness to the present, and ardency, but is only applied through the fourth establishing of mindfulness, becau...

Warren Buffett is famous for being against cryptocurrency. I know that. He is an industrial investor and he even admits that he doesn't really understand how it works.

Traditional bankers are wary of it because it is so disruptive to the traditional monetary system, in which a select few use banks to hoard money while the state coerces individuals to follow their sham of a financial system. It started at 4 cents or 8 cents. As a pre...

Bitcoin appears to be a Ponzi scheme because it has no inherent value. It is the same a printing money out of thin air. It is the same as deciding to use rocks or shells as currency.

also maybe op soliciting people into buying BTC, its falling now so it is suspicious... I doubt that OP is coming on to a Buddhist forum to solicit bitcoin purchases. I can sympathize, since I had many of the same concerns when I first invested into cryptocurrency. "Is this a wise investment, ...

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies are not gambling. They're more like investment opportunities. Good ones at that. They're the face of the new economy, and I think that anyone who has discovered them right now is quite fortunate, because lots of money can be made by investing in them at ...
