Earning money to pay rent and having food to eat is a good thing. I don’t know the industry so can’t comment on the morals.

Yeah those are good things. But not at the expense of making others being unable to earn money to pay rent and eat. Have ppl invest and lose money and still charge them hidden fees. Seems wrong. I have interview tomorrow. It’s conflicting.

1.) Got a interview for a “financial representative” role. It’s a mutual fund organization called T Rowe Price it’s like Fidelity or Vanguard. Basically they offer 401k and investment options and charge up the ying yang even if investments were at a loss.

2.)It’s a job screwing people over. Morally it’s something I can’t do for the same reason I don’t want to be a debt collector. But financially it’ll pay well. Should I be moral and suffer or should I not care about others and put them in my situation so I can make $$. Why?

In context, I was referring only to speech. The user should have control of what they consider to be right or wrong, and what they choose to engage with. I think this definition may be a little different from the Buddhist definition of "right speech" that Bevan mentioned.

I think I see your point.

I will

Replying to @jm9k (0x50a12017e3e7cb0949e8b823dce156f83732e192)

What is "right" is subjective to the user, and that is where the determination should be made.

What I think is right, you think is wrong and vice versa. That’s subjective. But who’s to determine what is right or wrong? By this logic there should be no laws as there is no right or wrong as it’s subjective. Why should someone be punished for what they thought was right?

By sentence: 1) The goal is a substantial directional improvement towards that ideal. 2) At the extremes it’s clear. How can we get more of the good and less of the bad? 3) What reduces suffering is right. Re speech as vent: venting on an immutable platform may be unwise :)

Couldn’t agree more. Say something evil, it’s there forever.

Oh, by the way: Right Speech is a pillar of Buddhism. This summary by Thich Nhat Hanh was so close to my intent that it's the Peepeth Code (with a few small tweaks): https://peepeth.com/a/terms

I’m all for Buddhism. I’m sure if everyone was world will be a better place. But again, we’re human. Prone to mistakes and errors that causes suffering, sadly.

Try to get in touch with social services. They are good at networking for you so that you can find a way out of a tricky rental/housing situation on time...

We figured it out. My wife sold her grandmothers ring to pawnshop. Now my wife hates me cuz it’s her grandmothers who’s deceased and I hate myself. I’m hoping I can get a job soon so I can buy it out. But so far I’m having no luck. Social services suck here.

No one can force anyone to have right speech. Who’s to determine what is right speech. It’s up to us to make the conscious decision to do right but then again what is right? I believe speech to be a vent. Not all the right chemicals flow out but if closed a vent can explode.

I rather say mean things and what’s on my mind and not mean them. Than to silently build those thoughts up and hold them in internally because I could not express verbally and find myself expressing in ways that may truly be irreversible.

I love the intention and theme set throughout Peepeth, though I can’t help but think “what are we actually doing here?” Same with twitter and Facebook. Further - why do I spend time here? What’s the benefit to that on a deep and meaningful level?Perhaps I’m one not cut out for SM

Well just got my first ever eviction notice warning. Paid what I could but unless I pay $240 by 4th I’ll have 30 days to leave. Just great, just fantastic. I’m not feeling to well stomach hurts, throat dry and I feel like snapping. I don’t know what to do?

Hope it all works out OK, @OneBit. Hang in there buddy. 🐧

I’m sure it’ll work out. The pressure of losing my job? Being $240 short, calling all sorts of places. All overwhelming. I feel like snapping right now but hard to remain cool. I’m trying.

7) When I finally got it, when it eventually clicked, I remembered all these moments in my life and it seemed like the most obvious thing in the world: unstoppable money to fund unstoppable code to build unstoppable social change. That finally motivated me to get involved

I just got involved this year. never too late to get involved. However I did wish I got involved in crypto before 2017 😂 then I wouldn’t have to worry about being evicted in two days. I tried. Nice knowing you guys. I won’t be on as much. But I’ll be around, not giving up.

1.) I would advise caution. Who wouldn’t want to be rich? Rich would be nice. But mindsets like that can destroy if not handled with care. When I started I bought a little of everything. Sold, exchanged some to catch waves. Did more harm than good.

2.)There’s no get rich quick with crypto. More of luck and hodling the right ones. Took 7 years before BTC HODLers saw 20k a coin. Best safest approach is cost averaging like buy in at $50 a week or so and hodling for 10 years. Don’t forget each trade is a taxable event.

1)We live in a day where people are waking, people are tired of inflation, of Banks. Like myself I wanted to control my own finance. That’s when I started researching and getting into crypto and blockchain. Hopefully I won’t be the first or the last. Peepeth gets them in the door

2.)Then it’s up to us fine folks here to share the good news of our Lord and Savior Bitcoin and all that is holy 😂 joking aside we would share, educate and enhance their knowledge of the benefits of blockchain. What they do with it after is up to them.

Sorry, i don‘t get it. What i understand: Peepeth opens up for non-blockchain users without the direct goal to convert them? So, basically, for them, it is just another social network? Why would you think that would attract people? Why don‘t you bridge them to blockchain?

Buy Bitcoin from cheapest exchange and sell Bitcoin from most expensive exchange. Repeat. Increase amount of money, repeat. Now you are rich! Congratulations! 🎉

If only it worked that way. Don’t forget to account for miner fees and let alone the Exchange’s fee and the volatile price that usually by the time all is said and done you end up more at a loss. Cost averaging and hodling is the smarter strategy.

We are still the lunatic fringe. I don’t know if it will ever be “mainstream” even when there’s mass adoption. Might just be under the hood, so to speak, which is fine with me. Brave’s ad rewards and Facebook/Kik/Telegram launching coins are interesting developments to watch

Indeed, it’s all still new and in its infancy probably. But I’ll admit it’s cool being at the beginning of it and seeing how things go.

2.)Crypto seems like a joke, just a way to “buy in” and hope to strike it rich like and then convert back to the same inflation infested, bank controlled fiat money. I thought Crypto was a way to free us from the banks, to give us back our financial freedom.

3.)Instead of really mass adopting it as a form of currency in retail and online. It’s more of a novelty and like a stock market and collectors item. Be nice to see when BTC actually becomes everyday money and a way of life and not just a get rich scheme.

One thing I hate about social media in general is the like button. I think it’s nice, but I’ve never seen a generation so obsessed with how many followers they have or how many likes a post can get. So if you like my comment smash the like button and subscribe 😂

Indeed, together I think we can make Peepeth something the world will know.

I wanted to take the time as yesterday I was hurting and I needed to vent and wrote here. I was not expecting the help and support. I’m at $60 now and need $240 for rent. Whether it’s met or not doesn’t matter, what matter is this community and the heart it has. Thank you all.

I do have transferwise, but I have heard of bitrefill. I was so worried about the $300 for rent I totally forgot about food 😂 I’ll prob live if I don’t eat much a few days worst can happen.

Thanks for inspiring me to be more open about my own experiences. Wish I could do more!

It’s all good Galois. Maybe life isn’t always the best, but it’s people like us that need to find each other. Maybe if there’s a email or platform where we can privately connect if you ever want to talk? I can inspire and need some myself. Sharpen each other?

I respect your openness. I can’t say what I’ve been going through is quite on the same level as what you’re suffering right now, but I think I can relate. I haven’t spoken to anyone in my family in over 2 years after finally walking away from a lifetime of abuse and neglect

Not sure if I’m being open, stupid or just plain humiliating and embarrassing myself. But I figured I can ruminate on it, keep silent and do internal damage, or maybe just try talking and maybe it’ll help me see a little?

My family refused to help me with even basic medical and dental needs as a child despite having plenty of money. Now, as an adult, I have repeated bone infections, vision problems, hearing loss, and horrible tinnitus from decades of inadequate care that I now have to pay to fix

So you understand, and I’m also truly sorry you went through that. I have hearing loss to but since birth and legally hearing impaired and near deaf on left ear, but what’s messed up is you have to try to fix what they could of prevented. That’s just wrong.

I have a hard time trusting anyone too. Developing trust when you’ve been hurt all your life is hard work. It’s a cost a lot of people don’t have. I have a few friends, but it’s taken a lot of effort to build what trust is there, and when push comes to shove I feel I’m on my own

I been married 3 years, I love my wife. She’s handling this better than I and doesn’t care what happens as long as she has me. But until I met her I’ve always felt like I was on my own. Sometimes I still feel like I am if you understand what I mean because sometimes I forget.

I’ve been applying for consistent work for over a year. I’ve worked as a software developer for the better part of a decade, and for some impressive brands. I have a lot of useful skills, but I don’t have a degree or a network, so getting a job still isn’t as easy as people think

But with your impressive skill set you’re struggling too? Looks like someone donated $20 I’ll need to figure out how to get it in wallet. But when I do I can split it with you give you $10 of that if you need help too. Least I can do Hopefully we both can find work soon.

Maybe you could start a GoFundMe? There are some blockchain alternatives but they’re young and don’t have much of a user base. It’s on my agenda, but it feels so much better to keep writing cover letters than an appeal for money so I keep putting it off

I have tried a GoFundMe, but I guess I need friends and connections to share it and some super sob story. A simple honest this is what is going on, this is what I need, this is what I tried, this is what I’m doing approach apparently didn’t work.

This is hard to read. Even though you've not been around here long and you're currently drinking a little. Life is hard. Without family it's damn hard. Without community it's probably crushingly hard. When life's already that hard: substances only make it harder

As for drinking a little, I’ve cleared up. Just needed to loosen up a bit. Unwind and not be just so high strung. Plus my wife made me... 😂 she was very insistent on making pina colada.

And this is not true. If you ever feel it is true... that's only because you haven't yet proven yourself wrong. Don't wait for an invitation.

Probably the best thing I heard and you would be right. Part of me really wishes for the overnight bang! Tada! Problems solved. Realistically I know that won’t happen. Which leads me to being upset it’s not happening fast enough. But I’m self educating one day at a time.

Keep peeping and making your voice heard. The decentralized community is just getting started and there’s a huge opportunity to reap the rewards of being here early. That means more than just returns on crypto, but gaining visibility, sometimes for the first time in our lives!

I’m not here to reap rewards. I don’t care about that. Sure it’ll be nice. But I’m here because this is a better alternative than twitter. To develop some positive relationships hopefully. I’ll do my best to contribute smart comments and useful stuff 😂
