Differences Between The Rich And The Poor

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between the rich and the poor? Why are some people wallowing in the abyss of poverty while some are swimming in the ocean of stupendous wealth?

Sometimes it may come across to you to say that some people are rich because they were born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Well, that is not conclusive because there are many people out there that were not born under any silver linen whatsoever, yet they are millionaires today. What happened? What made the difference? Now here is what i have realized.

The difference between the rich and the poor is the mindset. The rich and the poor think in different frequency. The poor do not have that kind of mindset that the rich individuals have. They approach the same issue from a different perspective and stance.

The rich seek out opportunities. The rich are always seeking for opportunity that will grow their wealth while the poor man wallows in self-pity and he is consumed with seeking for sympathy. He engages in the blame syndrome; blaming his relatives, friends, the government, even the rats in his house are not left out, as been responsible for his predicament. Instead of thinking how he could break out of the cocoon of his abject poverty he feeds it by consistently looking for a scapegoat. With such mindset you can't recognize opportunity for wealth when you see one.

The rich acts but the poor just passes along. When the rich sees an opportunity that will accelerate his wealth, he grabs it. Not the man with a poor mindset. He had a thousand and one reasons why what he sees is not an opportunity for getting rich and so his circle of poverty continues, as he will let go of that opportunity. Sorry to say this; it is like casting a gold before a swine, it will not value it.

The rich are ready to take risk and make sacrifices, either it is of time, effort, money etc. The poor mindset considers some risk as being outrageous. They lack the motivation to dare into the world of the unknown. They are satisfied with the world they have come to know. So they keep maintaining the same status throughout their lifetime.

Have you ever wondered why businesses are called ventures? A business man takes risks. I am sure you know about venture capital: that is the money invested in a new company to help it develop, which may involve a lot of risk. But you will find those who have rich mindset take the risk all the same.

A man who does not take risks will end up paying for another man's risk. When you take the risk, others will pay you for it. That is what the rich man knows that Mr Poor mindset does not know.

You need to understand that being wealthy does not mean you lack nothing and being poor does not have to do with the fact that you lack the basic amenities of life. It has everything to do with the mentality you have.

If you are born poor that does not mean you cannot rise to become a millionaire. To achieve financial success you have to change your pattern of thinking. If a poor man thinks the way the rich does and do what they do, he will have the same result and even more.

Cloud Mining Contracts - Are They A Good Investment?

As readers of my blog know, I will only promote products and/or services that I myself use or invest in. I wanted to provide an update to the cloud mining contracts that I recently purchased. Cloud mining works differently than traditional mining in that you do not purchase any hardware to do the mining for you. This means you do not incur large electricity costs associated with owning your own machine. It is all done by others and you are simply buying into a pool. When I started them on May 23rd I wasn't really too sure what to expect.

Since two weeks have passed I figured I have a good amount of data and info to provide a solid report. The first contract I started was with Hashing24. They only offer Bitcoin mining. The way it works with them is you buy whatever hashing power you want (for more on that see my post "mining"). They have plans that are as low as 100 GH/s and cost as little as $18. Because they offer indefinite contracts, you pay a small daily maintenance fee of $.033 per 100 GH/s.

The upside to Hashing24's model is that once you pay your upfront amount you can theoretically collect daily payments forever. In that manner it is similar to buying an immediate annuity.

In the interest of full disclosure I purchased 4500 GH/s ($800). After the daily fees are subtracted and, depending on the value of Bitcoin, I make around $7 per day. If we extrapolate that out it would be about $210 per month with a break even point of just over four months. That's not too bad an investment because everything after month four would be pure profit. One thing to also keep in mind is that the mining difficulty will increase in the future which will eat into your profits.

On May 25th I decided I wanted to start a contract to mine Ethereum. The Ethereum blockchain technology is being embraced by all the major crypto companies and I actually believe that it will one day pass the value of Bitcoin. It currently about half its size with a market cap of $20,505,000,000 compared to Bitcoin's $41,888,000,000.

I purchased my Ethereum cloud mining contracts through Hashflare.io. At first I purchased 35MH/s and later to decided to add another 15MH/s. The contracts are for one year. Hashflare also allows you to change the percentage of hash power you want in each pool. If you see one pool performing better, you can put a higher percentage into that one.

The cost for 50MH/s was $1,090, but I got more bang for my buck because I paid in Bitcoins and the value of my Bitcoin purchase appreciated. This meant that my Bitcoins went further and, in reality, effectively cost me around $900. Let's go conservative and take the higher amount of $1,090.

The calculator on their site predicts that at the current price of Ethereum ($223) I would make $2,358 off my $1,090 investment. That kind of return makes it worth the risk to me.

Again, because I am a long term investor in both Bitcoin and Ethereum, I view this as a solid opportunity to diversify your portfolio and at the same time attempt to make some passive income. Keep in mind that cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile and that can wildly impact your potential profit. Do your homework first. If you are a long term investor in cryptocurrency, this appears to be a worthwhile play.
