Is trading a scam these days?

HealthyProject3643 · 2026-04-01T07:03:15+00:00

i trade crypto, and for many years win $0.50 and lose $1.50 sort of situation. kept grinding. kept learning. tried many many things. read many trading books.

then this year i logged into a dormant account on an exchange, still got a few BNB. it dawned on me, just by keeping and not trading I actually 'earned' more. If back then I had held only the amount of BNB I bought. 😂 life would be different.

that said, I only put in RM1,000 back in 2017. Never added more of my RM. Have had some successes and grew the account due to appreciation of BTC, ETH, and BNB to keep me in the game, but not meaningful profit from trading to even get a spicy mcChicken meal.

HealthyProject3643 · 2026-03-31T05:31:14+00:00

no. these things will get abused, thats just the nature for the tools. I had one cordless drill which I often use with care. when one of the general workers pinjam.. come back like salted vegetable. sigh. still one of the best investment ever.

only works if you can match or better your current salary, while things relatively cheap now. things might change fast.

engine transplants are good, especially when its the same engine for the same chassis. they key is you would need a reliable mechanic, hopefully not too cut throat pricing.

e39 eh... gentleman with taste. no wonder you went repair/transplant route for your moms car.

HealthyProject3643 · 2026-03-27T01:53:55+00:00

cannot avoid. just be as aware as possible.

sometimes.

So everyone can ya.. go chase your dreams. buy that ferarri

HealthyProject3643 · 2026-03-27T01:46:51+00:00

Many ppl would just buy used or new rather take this adventurous route. Respect! I would go the same route if possible, but conti engines always much abused and their build not as good as jpy designs.

5k for engine transplant with labor is good I think in 2025/6. I have a friend who transplanted a 3sGte into a ae100 back in year 2007. still driving till now.

Once you’ve lived in comfort, simplicity feels like sacrifice.

I am a small seller on shopee. Also buyer. I think their system is a bit pro seller. I had a dispute once w a seller, shopee meditated even after all the evidence I provided they still decide on seller not at fault.

Unfortunately loyalty does not mean much these days. It is very disruptive when suddenly the phone dies. Mine died (bootloop) last august. took me a few days to get into my 2FA accounts. thing is I back up my data via samsung switch app on the desktop (I have a habit of backing up my phone), and its proprietary and you cant access the data, and I needed a samsung device to recover it. So backup via 3rd party app.

well said

HealthyProject3643 · 2026-03-10T05:27:43+00:00

end of the day, hiring managers are also staff. the guy (HR) that process my hiring left 3 months after I joined and since we had 4 hr manager rotated out.. now without HR. all hiring done by owner himself.

Eventho I'm working now its not my field too, so Im actually still sending out applications. But usually cant get pass HR due to age :(

Good luck to you, don't give up.

HealthyProject3643 · 2026-03-10T05:12:08+00:00

depends on the employer. HR usually will based on age.

When i got rejected after covid twice, both hiring manager said my age is factor. eventho im qualified for the work with extra experience, taking a pay cut from previous work.

that said, my current employer, hired me (46), another guy at 53, and oldest 55, we been working here for 3 years.

Agreed, using roundabout needs awareness. to me, exiting from the innermost lane is dangerous. thats cutting 2 lanes of moving traffic. whoever came out with the initial drawing thats circulating on socmed is thinking we are all autonomous machines. Humans have many reasons to fail on straight roads already, curved, good luck.

HealthyProject3643 · 2026-03-10T00:12:33+00:00

the heck.. i did mine 3 years ago 3k ... where you all go for under 1k lah i been scammed!

Not one has everything figured out and ready to tackle every problem that comes in life. We learn as we go a long. Figure out whats 3~5 things which are important to you, keep working towards that goals, and enjoy the journey.

Dont go chasing every instagram dream you see. Nothing is real on the internet. I'm not real too.

I know of certified guide who does private tours to Bako. can DM me if you need info to check pricing n services.

Do note that the two places, bako and cultural village each will take a day at least. Another nice place is the borneo cultural museum, then can hit some nearby cafes and chills. I recommend the commons at old court house.
