Hi, please help a brother. I am not a bad guy, always friendly but not good in mathematics.

I have:

- $1000
- Around 80 AGS
- A room paid by the government (welfare)
- Free electricity (up to $100 a month)
- Debts
- A lot of time
- A bank account with online banking
- Atom netbook

I don't have

- Education
- A job
- The strength to keep a (dead end) job
- More than $240 per month (food, etc.)
- Anyone who would borrow me money
- The body for sexwork
- The option to get a credit from the bank


If you could give me some ideas on what you would do with the 1000 Dollares I would be very happy because I am sitting alone at home and my head is hot from thinking too much.

I did already everything. Pizza delivery, wheelchair mechanics, telephone operator, selling carpets, video shop, work agencies, waiting, cleaning, basking, writing, taking care of old people, selling fruits.

I dream of $500 income for doing "nothing" like mining or so. That's why I bought PTS. The thing is I am a bit worried because I can see all the people donating so much money into BitShares, and I am just a little fish who later only gets $10 dividents. Thanks all!

1. Figure out what skills you have.
2. Figure out what skills you don't have but think you need to have.
3. Figure out what you need to learn to develop these skills.
4. Figure out what is wrong with the world and take active steps toward fixing it.
5. Determine the best use of your time. Prioritize.

$1000 may not seem like a lot of money but if you invest it right it could be life changing. More important than the $1000 is that you have time. Your strengths are another persons weakness.

The good news is you're around some of the smartest people in the world who are working on the solutions rather than contributing to the problem. If you have 80 AGS then one thing you could do to bring value to your 80 AGS is tell your friends to buy AGS themselves. Even if it's some small amount of it, as you can see with Bitcoin even the smallest amount could be worth a lot in 5 years.

Probably the best thing you could do is identify a problem that only you can understand from your position in society. Then learn as much as you can about the problem, about DACs, and come up with a DAC which can help others in the exact same situation you find yourself in. Since there are probably millions of people living as you do and these numbers can be expected to grow there are a lot of potential DACs which could service people.

A concept you might want to look at is the for profit charity. That is something you would be in a good position to start or be involved with. This charity could be crowd funded and be designated as a DAC which helps to get people out of poverty.

Part of the problem I see is that there aren't a lot of for profit charities so the charity funding runs out. The other part of the problem is when there are for profit charities you usually end up with corruption involved. If the software being developed works as intended there will be opportunities to start for profit charities, which for instance build houses for the homeless as an example while simultaneously offering a lottery or another services.

Unlike the corporate models of today, you can set it up so that profit beyond a certain threshold goes directly to charity instead of to dividends. Think of it as a cap on dividends where if it goes beyond that point the rest goes to charity.

I would say him to buy at least 1 BTC with his 1000$. By 2020 he sould be fine financially.

Why tell him to invest in BTC? He should invest in BTS or BitBTC when the time is right.

Don't forget -->BTS Xe to make the feminists happy..

Polls which dont require the participants to use actual money are worth nothing

Aw lighten up, it's just a fun toy. Sure, some people will be naive enough to think that the results are really meaningful, but I think most people on the forum are intelligent enough to understand the results for what they are.

Cool
