So is trading incredibly easy or incredibly difficult? Take your pick, LOL. But I'd suggest that the only way anybody ever finds out is not by placing their trust in forum posts, but by the process of self-discovery.

DislikedIn fact i think we are all equal and all these things would make it so that we are not. So i like people. But, trading is stealing from eachoter, you need to know that. Mostly stealing from the banks though, which stole from us in the first place.Ignored
DislikedNature disagrees. It was never her intention that we dance merrily around rainbows surrounded by puppy dogs and bunny rabbits. No, we're not equal, and I don't need to steal when people hand it over willingly.Ignored
DislikedYes i would feel bad for winning it, regardless of if i won or lost i would calculate that the average chance of winning is greatly affected of which cards was put on the table in what order in the stack of cards. I would come to the conclusion that its a bad idea to play in the first place, so if i did win i would know that it had a lot to do with things i whose validity i empirically could not verify in advance. Hance i would stop and think "Why the hell im i doing this?".Ignored

This economic system is based on (fiat) money and no matter what you do you are a part of that system if you use money. Doesnt matter if you work in wall mart stacking goods or if you have a suit and tie and work in an office, you are a part of the same economic system right? So as long as you use money you are a part of trading. Now my goal is to separate from that system, and in a short amount of time i will do that. I take part in it because i am a slave to it, but not for long. So i really...Ignored
Quoting myselfDislikedThere are two main dynamics to the world. You provide something to the world (a service or creation) that others need, and others provide you back with something you need. Currency is the foundation that equates this theoretical equality of exchanged services. Employers need you to work, they compensate in pay. You need food, you compensate someone to provide you with it with pay. They need what your employer offers, they compensate the employer with the pay. Trading is in a sense immoral because rather than participating in the give and take, you sustain to only take. Needless to say, you're taking from others who have the same immoral goal of only taking, but the point is you provide nothing to society but get everything back, if successful. You compensate others but are never compensated back for something you have provided to others.Ignored
