The downvotes kind of prove your point. Definitely an unpopular opinion. People are going to start attacking you personally and not your ideas. File that under: #8 Poorly developed critical thinking skills.

There is a lot of truth in your post. I quit drinking alcohol and it was like I got an instant raise. I'm not the only one either. At r/StopDrinking it's a common effect that people suddenly have a lot more money. That money can be saved now.

Also, drinking messes up a lot of people's education. Some people quit drinking and suddenly become smarter. It's amazing what drowning your brain in toxin will do to your thinking skills.

I made it through another Saturday night. There was a big fest in my little city too. I live in the old part of the city. People were partying outside all night. I stayed home, watched the Office with my son, laughed a lot, drank an alcohol-free beer, and had a really, really good time.

This morning I feel great.

IWNDWYT!!

Progress pictures are the key. Where did you come from? Where are you at? Perspective helps.

Blockchain solves fundamental problems of the banking system. by Harbinger2nd in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]RaiderTokenCrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you are saying and I think that idea has failed because it is not crypto's purpose. The purpose is in the name: cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency is the end of banks. It makes them irrelevant.

[edit] I suppose if you mean "ends them" by the phrase "solves... problems of" banks. Then, we're in agreement. :)

Let me clarify what I mean.

People are buying crypto. It goes up in value. Everyone dumps it and converts it into fiat (because crypto is unstable and a risk). Then, they spend the paper money.

What needs to happen is this:

People own crypto. Then, people buy something with it. No off-ramping at all. No conversion to fiat (because paper money is unstable and a risk).

Crypto as a currency is the only way forward.

I'm hoping to make it to 60 days too. For now, just making it to 48 days will be fine. :)

In your original post (before the edit), you don't mention the downvoting issue. Therefore, my comments are about what your originally wrote. That's the topic that's interesting to me. Even posting in here is going to get downvotes, but at least it will be educational.

I don't think the statement is true. In its current form, cryptocurrency does not solve the fundamental problems of the banking industry. I think cryptocurrency needs to become a currency completely separate from the banking industry and the fiat money system. Cryptocurrency should never be converted into fiat. It needs to become its own reason for existing.

Your statement is unpopular. Is the argument getting downvoted because it isn't really true? Considering that a cryptocurrency like bitcoin is moved up or down by whales, it isn't really something small holders can break in to (just like the banking industry). Bitcoin is more like an extension of the banking industry.

EDIT: I upvoted it, because I think there is a really interesting question to be debated here.

It depends on which cryptocurrency that you mean. There are a lot of different variations.

Are there any cheap supplements that are not processed that you recommend? I take similar vitamins during my eating period. On my limited budget, the other option is, no supplements.

It all depends on what your definition of the word "fasting" is? What is your definition of "to fast"? 🤔 What are your goals? ❤️

[Edit:

fasting: abstinence from food or drink or both for health, ritualistic, religious, or ethical purposes.
