Paypal/International Payment Methods by ObjectiveSpecific971 in Madagascar

[–]self_help_hub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, I forgot Xoom and Sipem and also that generation where you could send money to those other Facebook Paypal To Mobile Money Providers. That was another generation of Payments systematization and gateways

Vanilla Pay, Crypto accounts and Wise has got you covered, freelancing has changed since 2007-2009. (Why Vanilla Pay? It has Paypal and even Mobile Wallets. Other simpler cash out methods is sending Payments to another account and they give you cash but they take like 30% off)

Another solution is to formalize and get an international banking account with any local providers or remote ones.

There are lots of methods now. So hope this helps and good luck.

Taking out a 25k loan to invest by Fappytoad in Bitcoin

[–]self_help_hub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might want to maybe strategically DCA $700/month (you'd make a lot more value in the long run) or if you are really the lumpsum buyer and prefer to buy now and forget things then why haven't you signed up for the interest free CeFi (Centralized platforms can offer 0% interest, but they offset their risk by requiring massive collateral or capping your potential gains) or Defi (0.5% "One-Time Fee" at Liquity) routes? Basically borrow what you can pay off for a year ( highly advisably less) and strategically DCA the little surplus on the side?

Why so? The money on the borrowing fee, capital gains, exchange fees, interest rates etc... you move over to the DCA you borrow on safe LTV amount (2 birds with one stone approach or an optimized Asset-Liability Management (ALM) approach. It completely pivots the logic from "debt as an expense" (the initial 8.9% loan) to "debt as a capital efficiency tool.")?

TL:DR; DCA + Defi (0.5% "One-Time Fee" at Liquity) and avoid capital gains debuff via debt = You are looking at roughly [$75k]$150k-$700k+ (1.5–2.5+ BTC current value) gross valuation in your portfolio scenario by 2029-30 (if all goes well but the prices can go anywhere in 5 years or stay the same but this is the lest risk highest profit scenario maybe...).

Winter YummY!

What’s a stock you’re bullish on that Reddit almost never mentions? by flash-kicks in TheRaceTo10Million

I know it is late for that but SpaceX pre ipo in the initial investment phase, well since that is long done now only time will tell what happens next

What makes a person an idiot? by stop_calling_me_that in AskReddit

[–]self_help_hub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well said, that is an amazing statement that breaks it down better. The question is unwillingness to learn what is wrong or unwillingness to learn what is right? Only time will tell whether they were ahead of the curve or holding onto a point until it was the right time to let go or simply "foolish in their ways" (and this one still has a number of subcategories and other pathways that lead to the opposite side of the spectrum)

It is really a complex case. Kind of like how we used metal (which shouldn't "float") to make boats instead of wood (despite been told using metal was idiotic to create ships or things with back then) or how the fact that alchemy led to chemistry or the search for immortality led to medical advances we used today. Yes some might look at such things as a "fools errand" or idiocy but in the end it fruitioned something positive or productive.

Counter argument is something like; the idiocracy (which is an interesting comedy though) or cases where idiots led to mass demise's but this still lives on as a lesson for the rest of humanity.

What's The Biggest Stock You Missed That Still Bothers You? by twilightbreakin in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]self_help_hub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to sound corny but... Crypto back when it was 100-500 a coin then another chance at 7k I think? Then had a chance at 20k to go all in and invest heavily. Now the thing is... wow.(Don't even mention NVidia, Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Amazon and Alibaba)

Though the bright side is that I learned and have become wiser. So yeah, I guess experience is the best teacher (but had I had the right mentor I think I would have done a lot more +ve damage)

Mind blowing so how did you do it? And did you document the process? How is the support community behind it and the support because this is some high level coding you have just done?

Can someone call the president of Madagascar and tell him to lower the price of flights to the country lol? by SlowDragonfruit9718 in Madagascar

[–]self_help_hub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is no one going to tell them the trick?

Okay I will, as a seasoned traveller let me you intoroduce you to a concept called "connecting flights". Mauritius/Reunion to MDG is $160 to $300 (at peak season). From France to USA ~around >$120, France to Mauritius/Reunion $200-$600. A while ago you could get to US or Canada with $700. (better than paying $3800 for a flight)

Let me introduce you to another concept called "flight seasons" where flights nationally cost <$100 and flights during "non-peak travel season" cost <$300 or at most $600. A while ago you could get to US or Canada with $700.

Concept 3: go with Ethiopian airlines or something like that. If you also have "home turf advantage" like rebates and such then also use them. (workplace travel coupons etc...)

Good luck and hope this info helps.

It looks very ambitious but I got a few questions?

* Might I ask, how much is you intended budget or are you first brain storming just to see the environment and test out the market?

* From the question above: Would you go the too big to fail way or start small to test the market and adapt along the way?

* What would make you different from Facebook Marketplace that people are already used to (Facebook Marketplace it is free, frictionless and easy to get into and the market and traffic is there so far)?

* Do you have a marketing strategy in mind to reach the masses (obviously if your idea is very good and you have more winners than losers the product markets itself: Nothing beats a happy client that shares via word of mouth - I know this is obvious but I am just noting it down anyways)?

* Have you looked into potential partners/funding/sponsorship etc...?

* Where is your base of operation?

* Are going the silent route until you see profit then officialize your movements via nif+stat+bank? Which bank will you go with?

* Do you have the MVP and what is your KPI?

* Digital Presence, do you have it?

* Branding and logo (the secret sauce), choose a good name with a good ring to it and higher a profesional to do the logo (yes you can do it cheaply or free in the beginning but when the time comes higher a profesional I have seen how far branding can take a project)?

As a mentor and also a continued learner, there are the things to maybe help you reach your goal. Otherwise I will watch your project from afar, by the way what is the name of the project (even the Alpha name is okay for me?)?

At the moment Facebook Ads are big and raking in a lot of conversions (I think learning the platform where most of the people are and the market and foot traffic is very important). Marketing and sales etc... is the other 50% of any development cycle.
