I work too much in life. Abandon all Dharma - Krishna | Forum

#1

I really work a lot in life. I mean, my chicken buisness takes away an hour from me each day, an hour that could be used to do something useful such as praising Gods.

then my investment in gold is also unnecessary. I dont even know why I do it. Small chance that gold skyrockets in next 30 years and I become rich.

But its not like I need it. Lets face it, I have enough money to live comfortably for the rest of my life. Gods have provided for me already. Why would I want more?

Maybe getting richer enables me to help the poor, but if those poor people were true believers, they wouldnt be poor. So I am essentially helping atheists there.

then I read Bhagavad Gītā 18.66

Bhagavad Gītā 18.66 — the concluding and most well-known verse

Sanskrit (Devanāgarī):

सर्वधर्मान् परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज ।

अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥

IAST (Transliteration):

Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja |

Ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ ||

Common English Translation:

“Abandon all forms of duty and simply take refuge in Me alone.

I shall liberate you from all sins; do not grieve.”

Brief meaning:

Krishna asks Arjuna to let go of rigid notions of duty (dharma) when they obscure surrender to the Divine. Complete trust and surrender lead to liberation (moksha), and therefore there is no cause for sorrow or fear.

So yeah, I shouldnt really do any duty in life. Duties make person weaker and waste person's time.

this is why Krishna says: Abandon all Dharma!

I hope you didn't buy any Melania meme coin.

It crashed 99 percent.

I dont invest in crypto. I understand people who invested in bitcoin at start are now much richer, but crypto is very complicated because you must sell it to make profit, and selling crypto is annoying. Even buying it is annoying for me because you need wallet for crypto, and if some error happens, you can easily lose all.

So I have to

Convert local currency to dollar
convert dollar to crypto
wait
convert crypto to dollar
convert dollar to local currency

there are plenty of loses there for me in these conversions, mainly because I would also need a special bank account which also costs money.

If I wanted to make investments, I would buy desirable land and gold. there is no point in buying crypto because the moment demand for it falls, it loses a lot of value, and that can happen in crucial moments. And unlike crypto, you cannot make more land. Land is strictly limited resource and demand for it rises constantly.

What if I invested $1000 in Bitcoin 5 years ago?

5 years ago: If you invested $1,000 in Bitcoin in 2020, your investment would be worth $9,689. 10 years ago: If you invested $1,000 in Bitcoin in 2015, your investment would be worth $496,927.

If you use predictive pattern science, you see that Bitcoin's growth is significantly slowing down. Sure, invest a few thousand dollars in bitcoin, but dont make it your main investment because other crypto are rising and with that, demand for bitcoin decreases.

What if I invested $1000 in Bitcoin 15 years ago?

10 years ago: If you invested $1,000 in Bitcoin in 2015, your investment would be worth $496,927. 15 years ago: If you invested $1,000 in Bitcoin in 2010, your investment would be worth about $1.62 billion.

10 years ago: If you invested $1,000 in Bitcoin in 2015, your investment would be worth $496,927. 15 years ago: If you invested $1,000 in Bitcoin in 2010, your investment would be worth about $1.62 billion.

that is reducing growth pattern. Each next 5 years has less growth.

Here’s the approximate percentage increase in Bitcoin’s price over the two periods you asked about — 2010 → 2015 and 2015 → 2020 — using widely referenced historical Bitcoin prices:

📌 Bitcoin Price Levels

We’ll use year-end or approximate annual reference prices from historical price tables:

≈ end of 2010: $0.30 per BTC (Bitcoin was still under $1 in 2010) (StatMuse)
≈ end of 2015: $430.57 per BTC (Bitcoin’s close in 2015) (StatMuse)
≈ end of 2020: $29,001.72 per BTC (Bitcoin’s close in 2020) (StatMuse)

Note: Prices can vary slightly depending on the source and whether you look at opening, closing, or average annual figures, but these figures are commonly used benchmarks.

📈 Percentage Increase from 2010 to 2015

Formula:

[

\text{Percentage Increase} = \left(\frac{\text{Final} - \text{Initial}}{\text{Initial}}\right) \times 100

]

[

\frac{430.57 - 0.30}{0.30} \times 100 \approx 143,523%

]

📌 Bitcoin increased by about ~143,500 % from 2010 to 2015.

📈 Percentage Increase from 2015 to 2020

[

\frac{29{,}001.72 - 430.57}{430.57} \times 100 \approx 6{,}635%

]

📌 Bitcoin increased by about ~6,600 % from 2015 to 2020.

📊 Summary

PeriodApproximate Price ChangeApprox % Increase
2010 → 2015	$0.30 → $430.57	~143,500 %
2015 → 2020	$430.57 → $29,001.72	~6,600 %

🧠 Notes

These figures are approximate because Bitcoin’s early trading was very low and unevenly recorded. (StatMuse)
The huge percentage growth in the first period reflects Bitcoin’s rise from near zero to hundreds of dollars.
Even the smaller 2015–2020 percentage is enormous compared with most traditional assets.

If you want, I can also calculate the annualized return for each period!

Whatever the actual percentages, bitcoin broke all records.

Its future growth will likely be lower than it was in last 5 years, and as I said, there are loses involved in trading it. Its not easy to sell, and it depends purely on demand. If demand is low, you cant sell it unless you lower price. I say, sure, invest a few thousands in bitcoin, but betting all your life savings on something which could easily crash is a bad idea.

Why did Trump invest 2 billion in bitcoin when he has his own crypto currency?

trump has money. Plenty of it. He made a lot of business mistakes, but standard rule in money making is to diversify your investments.
