Esther Danielsa year agoDo you count on trust or do you make sure people can't screw you? Before I counted on trust. Basically I sent traffic to some guys with adsense accounts. We split 70% 30%. 70% for me, 30% for them. Most, after they got paid by google, doesn't pay me. And then they blamed me as the cheater. This was a long time ago and a few thousands dollar worth a lot for me. Latter, I make everything transactional and I make sure no body can screw me. For example, I am careful not to partner up with anyone. I have business idea and my partner told me not to take other partners because that other partner may just do it themselves leaving us. It seems that the way not to be screwed is not moral or anything. If people can't screw me they don't. We have market place with rules where I am able to return product within 2 days. If I do not understand the rules I got burned. If we look at any successful organization, like banks, very few if any uses trust. Your cards have pins. Bitcoin cannot be hacked or brought down by ANY MEAN. Which is why it's awesome. Even if 1% of humans are assholes it would make sense not to trust all of them. If that 1% of human manage to hack your wallet, not only you lost money you have unfairly rewarded an asshole. So even a possibility of losing a little money should be avoided like plague as much as you can. It's as if morality doesn't truly matter. If I do not want people to screw me I just make sure they can't. Latter I did my business alone. One employee (the only one) notify me of what's working. I shared business with him 24% 72%. We're both end up being a millionaire. By not getting scammed I can concentrate rewards to the exact person that benefit me. What are others' opinion on this? 014410
