I made money for myself. I'm a trader. But is my trading useful for society?

in philosophy •  7 years ago 

This is my first philosophical post here. This is an important moment for me.
Now I have lunch in my country. I finished the first half of the day. I work a lot. But what did I do today?

I made money for myself. I'm a trader. But is my trading useful for society? Many complex processes say yes. But on a simple understanding, I really make money from the air. This fact makes me sad. Thousands of people at this moment are doing real job. They bring real benefits to humanity.

Very funny is the fact that this post I also make money from the air. As well as trading, Steemit gives the opportunities for earnings. It's legal. But you must always risk your money for this. You must understand all the processes to earn money at all.

As a conclusion, I can say that when the sadness leaves - there will be money left. They will not be superfluous in any situation.
This is the right decision to continue working even when there is no desire to work.

Hi @xeo,

I am learning how to trade and have been for the last couple months. Here's my thoughts on this. If you are participating the the crypo-economy, then you are helping. Buy some things directly with crypto if you can. Even in spending the money, you are helping to change things for the better. Buy things from people you like.

On day (soon), I hope to be as successful at trading as you are.

I like your style of writing, trading is simple and easy to loss money or gain money, but 95% traders lost money by trading against trends, not following money managemt, stop loss. I am also one of those 95%.😀

You can become a professional after years of defeats. You can earn some money after that.

Yes offcourse...from your trading the banks use it for devrlopment nad give u intrust on it..you play your part for society keep it up

It's just thinking out loud, my friend :) Thank you

There's always the possibility to donate some of your earnings, or if you earn a lot you have the possibility to create jobs for other people.

Of course, I prefer to donate p2p. Without charitable organizations.

I agree, that's also a possibility 😊

In my country, most charities are scammers.
This is the only way.
Charity is definitely good.

Good post mate .. I like how u think ... honestly ... trading is not good ... sure no one will complain if you make money .. but the underlying trading platforms have little transparency .. which makes it open to all sorts of manupliation , interpretation n greed

Despite all this trading is my main job. :)

Was mine once ... you gotta do what you gotta do .. good luck my friend ...

Thanks for the feedback.

All work is work, regardless of its characteristics, in relation to STEEMIT, I do not see how job, but rather as a social network where the members of the group pay you back

the money is necesary of course, but it´s really important the seed that you plant for a better world.

it´s very unhappy to work only for money. I think that many people (maybe is the people more happy) work hard helping other persons and not wait rewards for. They work only for dhamma. (Example: Teresa de Calcuta)

I'd even go as far as to say that this is harmful for society. It is superfluous, it's about making money. But I respect your opinion.

Sharing is caring 😀 If your job makes you fill empty and unfulfilled , then find ways to help other less fortunate then you, people or animals 😉

nice post, thank you very much

nice post, I am inspired by this, please upvote me back

interesting self-inspection and ponderings @xeo. I am following you so I can watch your new posts and I'll check out you previous posts.

There is money to be made in trading and when you share your thoughts then you share value with others who can learn and benefit from your thoughts and your choices and the results of those choices.

I think that it's very important to do this what makes you pleasure than you will be happy. Trading is great because you don't need to go to office every day, you can work anywhere you want, only you need to have internet. If you know how to earn like this and you know how to be succes in this just be happy with this. It's not easy to make money from trading and not easy to like your job. I am trader too, I like what I do very much even it's not so easy sometimes, trading is not for everyone. For now I do some other things too because to make money from trading you can't feel pression that you need to earn in short time some amount. I invest in apartaments for rent and blockchain too and I feel much more comfortable with this because I know that if market don't give me inaf money to live than I will live from renting. In life it's good too have diversification with everything except of love :)) I like your philosophy post, was nice to read it.

Personally, I think that most jobs are meaningless. Most jobs are simply a means of continuing the economic process. An activity that provides money so that money can be spent. A continuous cycle of meaninglessness. Most jobs do not work to solve real world problems like equitable resource distribution, endless consumption, climate change, pollution...etc. Most jobs are nothing more than a means of getting money.

In term of meaning, your job, like my job, like most jobs, serves about as much purpose as any other - (none). So you may as well continue to do it.

Keep the ball in the air. Keep the merry-go-round spinning. Keep this pointless cycle going.

:)

I had a similar epiphany to you. Making millions for a variety of corporate's and earning a lot of money in the process. Eventually after beating myself up about the lack of a finished product apart from money I did unpaid voluntary work. I think it has helped balance my karma and has also been tremendous fun.

Like many said before, most works are meaningless, we work because we need to get money to survive in most cases, were i live the jobs are not well paid and the violence crisis we are suffering do not help. Sometimes we just want to get enough to have stability, I would said that is not that you make money, but what do you do in your life to make this a better world. Cheers.

Good point, I was once thinking about the same question too. Making trading profitable is not an easy task but you will not have to work for others gain once you did it. We bring value to our own only since then.
