All investments should be evaluated based on opportunity cost versus time. Are you investing for the short term or the long term? And which option would be more efficient and profitable if you invested elsewhere instead of this? The idea behind recommending long-term stock investments is that high-quality securities tend to benefit from inflation. Inflation happens when the prices of goods increase faster than the value of money. Wouldn’t a producer only make a good if its price exceeds its monetary value? However, if this gap is too large, the consumer experiences volatility. That’s why the efficiency of using money declines because you need money to buy things. This principle explains why stock prices tend to rise over time if you hold high-quality stocks long enough. Therefore, investing is often referred to as investing in time—because over time, it adds value. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Virtualization is practically an extension of reality and, financially, a different way of representing ownership. Ultimately, reality exists in our perception , which we experience and verify. Our senses serve as tools that transfer information from the external world into our brains, where this data is then reconstructed in our perception . The reason we dismiss digital currencies is that we see virtual things as “non-existent.” However, if you think about it, the state of existence varies depending on whether it is virtual or physical, and all information processing takes place within our perception, only providing feedback to reality. In perception, the difference between virtual and real is meaningless. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The definition of ‘ virtual ’ in the dictionary refers to a presumed existence or subject that is treated as if it does not exist in reality. However, in contemporary usage, ‘virtual’ describes something that cannot be physically sensed by human beings. For instance, ‘ virtual currency ’ exists in the form of bits, as it cannot be perceived sensibly. Just because you can’t feel it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. In fact, human senses cannot detect the smallest unit of atoms that compose all things, yet that does not negate their existence. If something that does not exist but can exist as a hypothesis is called ‘virtual,’ then it exists in reality as a concept as soon as it is assumed! When something is hypothesized, the entity that is assumed originally did not exist, and the subject who made the assumption had not existed from the beginning, thus proving its existence by expressing the will of that assumption. Therefore, distinguishing between virtual and real holds no ontological si...

Not all of them, but conservatism seeks to maintain vested interests , while liberalism aims to reform them. Although most wealthy individuals tend to adhere to conservatism, the poor generally support liberalism. However, when it comes to voting , the poor often choose conservatism because liberalism presents a realistic view, whereas conservatism embodies the future that the poor envision in reality. The world is not so simple. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Ability and skill are distinct concepts. When we refer to a person’s unique power as an ability, the capacity to translate that power into real-world action is known as skill. Some individuals fail to succeed despite having remarkable abilities because they struggle to bring those abilities to fruition in reality. Essentially, ability denotes potential, while skill represents the achievement of that potential. The market serves as a tangible environment where many express their aspirations; thus, regardless of how exceptional their abilities may be, relying solely on skill is insufficient. This is why luck plays a crucial role in success. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
