Donations at Christmas to local Thai Vendors - tonight I am broke, ya ran out of money giving it away!

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

I kinda get a kick out of 'being harsh' with these blogs as the world can be harsh to so many people and the poor people of the world have gotten the short end of the stick for the last few hundred years. That is about to change with tipple entry accounting. It is their time a new renaissance - have you:

The man in picture above was working for hours caring while roasting this pig. A 'harsh' picture for vegetarians. He had big smiles for me as well.

I see once the pension plans of the western world are looted by the big banks their sideline money will be deployed into emerging markets. I see a super boom in Asia, equal to 4-8x as large as the industrial revolution of the west. But first the global debt needs to be out of default - hence the fleecing of western pensions coming to an auto-deposit near you or in the form of inflation.

The paradigm shift is coming down on you! Do you feel the pressure of inflation? The heavy fucken' weight of your financial responsibility? It fucking hurts. I have gotten many nice emails thanking me for financial advice. I am not a financial advisor but to be arrogant I can make you rich. Well not really rich but super fucken' rich! Just open that programmed closed mind and follow or pay attention or even (just think maybe do some study or research) respect 35 years experience of business awareness!

My view from the hotel in Thailand:

So I decided this Christmas to give some of my money away and was thinking of ways to donate direct to source and cut out administration costs of agencies like World Vision or UNICEF. Even though these agencies are experimenting with better ways of distributing funds especially in times of disaster relief. I decided I would ask small Thai vendors if I could take their picture for this blog. My plan was if they said yes, I would donate a month of wages to them as a Christmas bonus and if they asked for money I would just pay them that fee. The following are a few who said yes to having a picture taken, without asking for money and received a very big surprise in the form of a tip or donation from me:

THIS COUPLE BELOW WORKING HARD OVER CHRISTMAS VENDING SHOES:

SHOE VENDORS:

This lady below was selling wrist bands etc. and asked for $1.50 for me to take her picture. I agreed and paid fee:

The following had great big smiles when I tipped them as they did not ask for anything in exchange for their picture to be taken by me:

Above I was really surprised at how clean and organized all these small Thai vendors were. Zoom in on picture especially if you are viewing this from your cell phone. My camera takes incredible quality shots.

LOOK HOW GOOD THAT CORN LOOKS:

Should you like the way these donations went out direct to source feel free to transfer any amount of steem to my account and I will convert to local currency and give out to more vendors at 100%.

This is an amazing post! I am so glad you are making this country your second home! You are very kind and extremely sharp, you can make people rich! Your donations to these hard working people will be remembered and cherished by them forever! There is such a big gap between the rich and poor here!

You have given them hope and faith and great encouragement for their working ethics!
Thank you for being you!

The ghost of crypto and the ghost of christmas combined :D

The CryptoXmas -> Just great my man.

I think this is in the sense of the creator

Love your attitude man !! Thoroughly enjoyed the read and would love to have seen first hand the expressions on the vendors faces when receiving their gift.

Paul, actually you bring the perfect Xmas gift; share, care and mean something for other people.
No matter if its small or big, when it comes from the heart, you could say you are blessed.
Thank you for be here with us; merry Xmas for you and your family.

Thanks well said I am putting your comment to the TOP!

Dear Paul, I can only say : THANK YOU VERY MUCH !
I do see and apprciate this gift as the most precious this year. Building up friends from all over the world, and share the passion for independancy.

Christmas is a time for nostalgia, but it is also a time for making new memories. Enjoy the fellowship of new friends, and cherish the company of family in this season of loving and sharing. Merry Christmas!

I agree with your comment Friend

@greeman is just amazing.
While so many persons are chasing after money, he's selfless trying to impact on humanity and putting smiles on people's faces. That's just too good and commendable.

That's what Christmas is all about and I wish him a merry and joyous Christmas

I agree, that's the way to go

I'm taking notes! Love this idea!

SUka saya

Really, Paul, you out-do yourself with each new blog! I can't believe the vibrancy of Thailand! One of my mentors is ethnic Thai but he never made it that clear that Thailand had great people! The corn looks so good. You inspire me to be more generous and charitable as well! Best wishes to you!

Merry Christmas 2017!
Sincerely,

upvote и resteem

sir greenman your life very good i like it.

I also think it's better to donate without 3rd agencies. To find by yourself and to donate.

Hello @greenman,

It is a really noble thing you are doing, donating to the poor people. wow!! But the tai people are really industrious people as i can see from the photo.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful time in thailand.
&

Merry Christmas to you too.

resteemed.

Really cool what you are doing, the pictures of the happy vendors are great, but the one who asked for the $1.50 fee is funny, did you tell her after about the bonus she missed out on? She probably would have tried to give the $1.50 back, hehehehe

No I did not tell her. I also don't speak Thai so not sure if she would know enough English to have that deep of conversation. But the folks in the picture with her waving the peace sign I did have a conversation with them about what she missed out on.

Woow greet photography...
Thanks for sharing your post....@greenman

Hello @greenman,

Fuck you money is a fancy way of saying enough money that you're completely financially independent.

In other words, you can say "fuck you" to an employer or a business proposition and it won't affect your living standards noticeably.

To try to put it in more financial terms, distinguishing between a stock and a flow, it means that you have enough liquid assets that they produce enough income from those assets to live on without depreciating or risking the principal. And maybe have some extra to splash on goodies (we're in fuck you territory here, after all).

In the United States, what's generally considered affluent is a family income of $250K/year, because after that if your tax burden changes it's "tax cuts for the rich."

That gives us a target. Right now (and for the foreseeable future), Treasuries yield 0%. But let's assume that a basket of bonds and dividend-paying blue-chip equities would be safe and could yield, say, 3%. (Maybe you could get more, and if so that's gravy, but let's be conservative here.)

So if you need enough money that yielding 3% will give you an income of $250K/year, that means you need $250K * 33.3 = $8,333,333.33. Let's round it to 10 so you can buy a house and a BMW (and maybe angel invest -- and don't be a dick, donate to charity).

So there you go: fuck you money is officially and scientifically 10 million dollars (after taxes, in the bank).

To anyone out there with stock options, get to your spreadsheets...

Thanks for explaining this. I am diversifying my fuck you money into multiple countries as well. Sad we just can't trust anyone these days not your banks, companies or governments.

The friend had a question if he answered, I have some bitcoin, if I sell it now, then what will be profits or loss? What would be better if Bitcoin kept it for the future. Please help me, it would be very beneficial if I knew it.... ? @greenman

I would only sell bitcoin if you needed the money for food and shelter. I believe it is the trust system of the future so I am holding.

You have told the truth about Bitcoin. I was telling my friends to sell Bitcoin,
I told them, as long as there is no big problem, I will not sell Bitcoin.
I'll submit it for the future. Which will be seen in the future.
If I keep Bitcoin stored for the future, then the price of Bitcoin will get bored?
I thank you again .... @greenman

yes i agree bitcoin is a trusted coin so we can hold it for future n also merry Christmas have nice day lol resteem n upvoted nice post.

Money is all of things Some poor man...
They could Not Found any sourse To earn Money..
They work hard every single day...

Good work Paul .... . Merry Christmas from Canada.

Bitbean moving up on Christmas Eve .. Another Contrarian Crypto Coin ? Or is Bitbean the magic fuel for Santa's Sleigh ?????

IMG_8689.PNG

Have you ever heard of this crypto before ? Bitbean ????

Nope, not much of a speculator steem is mainly my only speculation. I hold bitcoin as a store of value and trust it more than USD or CAD.

Yeah me too not heard about that

Is that a Serious Coin ????

That is awesome. Yeah i used to work for a couple non profits, till I learned that most of the money just goes to the CEO's million dollar salary, and advertising.
I feel like everyone as a child does see the world the way you did, but everyone handles it different, and some never leave political 'game'. My whole life I felt that if we could decentralize government, we could eliminate positions of power that ether corrupt the people who hold them, or are targets of lobbying. I then thought we could create a new form of money that gave value to doing the right things, rather than profits. Oddly it would seem that it might be money that changes first, and then government will follow.
Currently I'm get a little better at trading, hopefully my ability to travel and be free of my job will happen fairly soon. Keep up the good writing @greenman , hopefully one day I'll come comment on your thoughts in person.

Yeah we have a great opprrtunity of this steem it blOg

Oh yeah, eating corn can and suffer :) Merry Christmas! Upvorted and Resteem

Hi dear @greenman 

its great to see your blog where you have touched so many important point as an author of this article. 

 The man in picture above was working for hours caring while roasting this pig. A 'harsh' picture for vegetarians. 

So true very Harsh for any vegetarians but everyone gotta have their choice so no harsh feeling haha :) 

 I see a super boom in Asia, equal to 4-8x as large as the industrial revolution of the west. 

Definitely so true as per the Market's which is growing in Asia for more specific take example of  China , India ..etc The times seems to be changing the money that is flowing away from the west is defiantly something to worry about this is giving the real boom and many be as per you said 4 to 8 times the boom in the new economic reforms that are being going there.

 this travel bug has got me. 

Will not lie but definitely it has caught you the Travel bug hehe but travelling to the places like these should be a plan for every human it provides your the experiences make friendly with other cultures and many things....

The view from  condo  was purely surreal that's a very nice shot infact it must be more amazing to experience that in real.

 without asking for money and received a very big surprise in the form of a tip or donation from me: 

Wow !! what a big surprise for them too you are truly the man of golden heart no doubt about that the smiles said it all i think i couldn't describe this moment better in world !!Speechless!!

 surprised at how clean and organized all these small Thai vendors were 

As i said these travel experiences teach us a lot look at this for example we could learn discipline and keeping things organized :) 

With all that being said i don't think i can make you entertain with word's and all that stuff but truly you made someones days special god bless you. Thanks for sharing your experiences here on steemit i would be following you for more such interesting articles and to learn more form you :)

Have a great day and Merry Christmas 

Cheers.

Beautiful!

Paul: You are making Spirits bright. This is what Christmas is all about. UpVoted.

Paul - My wife and kids and I might be in Italy in April also. Maybe we could go for a beer in Trestevere ?

Your post is the first REAL Christmas spirit post on steemit!
The way you do it is just a amazing path to follow and spread around.
Have a great day and enjoy the happiness of your recipients!

I think a message to tiger woods.

Be-u-tif-ul...

Thanks Sir #Paul Collin

Your all post awesome.
I have one question for you sir
"There are any countries that have banned their banks from servicing bitcoin companies".

I don't know and doubt that countries will band banks from dealing bitcoin. I do know some banks out of ignorance have. I personally have had 5 Canadian main stream banks close my account. But no worries their shareholders own and rule the world and need desperately computational trust as they can't trust each other because audit system is old school. Blockchain brings trust back. They will demand it. Hang on for the ride!

Are cryptocurrencies a good investment?
Because your hobby writing about crypto currency you knows very well about crypto.
Thank you sir.

yes for the long haul but later as they raise in value I would caution on all but bitcoin

Thank you sir your one in million because everyone not giving reply who has powerful upvote and reputation accept you keep smile 😊😊
Help poor people because you said fuck you money yes you Wright money is not everything.

Yes i m agree with you

Yes we have to help the poor as many as we can

As you look at your post, your comment about crypto has cautioned me. So I want to share this knowledge with you.Winklevoss twin brothers, recognized by the technology world in a lawsuit against Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg, managed to become a billionaire with the help of Bitcoin. Brothers who could not fit the digital currency, Bitcoin, in describing what they did, pointed out that the rapid rise of crypto money was just the beginning, and argued that the rise would begin after that.It is also raising the rumors of a fast landing and exit currency against the dollar. But the Winklevoss brothers have pointed out that the increase in Bitcoin's value is a sign of trust at the same time, suggesting that this trust will open up a whole new window of finance with the crypt money.I hope this information will draw your attention, sir.. @greenman

dear actually you bring the perfect christmas gift.share also care and mean for some poor people.no matter if its small or big , when it comes from heart , you have to say you are blessed .Merry christmas Sir, thank you for be here with us.

Incredible work. UpVoted and Followed.

Some Corn Action for you

The Hebrew word is : צעירה

TsayRah

YOUTHFULNESS: One who is little in age, a child; one who acts like a child. Hebrew: צעירה tse-i-rah. .... TseyRaH

And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matt 18:3

"I see once the pension plans of the western world are looted by the big banks their sideline money will be deployed into emerging markets. I see a super boom in Asia, equal to 4-8x as large as the industrial revolution of the west. But first the global debt needs to be out of default - hence the fleecing of western pensions coming to an auto-deposit near you or in the form of inflation."

Do you think there'll be a backlash from the people when their pensions are cut drastically?

p.s.

Have you been to Bangk(c)o(c)k yet?

Nope. They are dumbed down with alcohol and drugs.

In fact they will defend the folks fucking them in the ass.

Interesting. Who told you about that - frinds or other Thai?

Just a life time of watching the business world (capitalism-supposed) work.

Hahahaahahaha
