I am relatively new to crypto culture. Just three or four months ago, the only cryptocurrency I'd heard of was Bitcoin, and (no joke) I half-thought it was those big, silver coins that somehow had micro-circuitry in them. (I don't know current tech very well, but I grew up reading science fiction stories. We are right there in William Gibson territory, if you ask me...)Anyway, I was introduced to crypto when a staffer at MakersPlace saw some of my art on Ello and asked if I wanted to create some "crypto-art" for their market. I'd never heard of Ethereum (or crypto-art), so I thought it was a scam! And I blew the guy off... He sent me two or three emails, and I finally went online (just like in Neuromancer) and looked up this Ethereum thing....It was like walking into my first comic shop when I was 11 or 12 years old... Suddenly this vast, colourful, freaky UNIVERSE appeared before my eyes, and I realized it had existed for years, and there were so many choices that you got dizzy---and could easily become overwhelmed...Back in 1983, I knew about the BIG GUNS: Marvel Comics and DC. (In crypto terms, I came into the space knowing about Bitcoin, mostly from an episode of John Oliver's Last Week Tonight where he focused on HODL GANG, lambos, and Bitconnect, and---thanks to MakersPlace---I knew about Ethereum.) But suddenly, I learned about all of these other companies and strange characters... (I could list a bunch of old school comics and long-lost publishers, but most folks probably wouldn't recognize them, and I'm not feeling the need to flex my old-guy nerd muscles right now.)So, I'm a new guy when it comes to crypto. I've only been on Steemit since November, and the only cryptocurrencies I've purchased---using money from art sales---are Bitcoin and Steem. And, honestly, I only bought the Bitcoin so I could USE it to buy Steem! Now, going back to my comic collecting analogy, crypto has a thousand different currencies out there, with adherents and fanatics supporting each, (just like with comics,) so how does a new guy, just walking into the comic shop for the first time and seeing all these weird names and colorful logos, know what to "collect?" Is there more to it than just buying the comics that are the most popular and valuable, according to the price guides? (Those have mostly been replace by YouTube videos doing market reports for the crypto world.)Back in the day (the 80s,) my Uncle Randy and I would go to comic conventions and various shops looking for comics. My uncle would study the trends and watch prices, and when we went out, he bought, mostly, comics with 12 cent cover prices, because, he said, "Silver age comics are under-valued and going up in price real soon." He was right, and you can add a zero to the end of what he invested, and that's a conservative estimate for what his

Notes from a Singapore property investor Last Friday, the cryptocurrency market suffered an irrational sell-off. An estimated $115 billion worth of different digital coins were wiped off in a single day. In less than 13 hours, the price of bitcoin plunged 15 percent to USD7,700, before bouncing back to the USD9,000 level on Saturday. As I am writing this, the price of bitcoin continues dropping below the USD8,000 level. First, it was the regulatory crackdown by China, India and South Korea. This was followed by payment processor Stripe’s announcement that it is no longer accepting bitcoin as a payment method. Last week, Facebook banned all advertisements for cryptocurrency. Over the weekend, JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America just banned account holders from buying cryptocurrency using credit cards. Is the worst over for bitcoin? Will bitcoin end up to be another financial bubble in history – started with good intentions, climbed up steadily, spiralled by greed, and crashed amid irrational fear? Whether bitcoin is a gem or a fad; an opportunity or a novelty; a hotspot or a hot potato, time will tell. In 2017, Bitcoin was the darling of the media and the Wall Street. Last December, Time magazine published an article titled “Bitcoin Futures Are Wall Street’s New Big Thing”. Fortune magazine wrote about “Analyst Who Predicted Bitcoin’s Rise Says It Will Hit $400,000”. Over the weekend, bitcoin headlines became “Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies Plunged $100 Billion in One Day” in Time, and “Here Are the Signs the Bitcoin Bubble Is About to Burst” in Fortune. Can you imagine all these happened in 1½ months? Wait, what about our favourite bitcoin stories – the Winklevoss twins bitcoin billionaires; the man who travels the world with $25 million bitcoin profits; and the bitcoin boy who dropped out of high school and became a teen bitcoin millionaire at the age of 19? A small coin priced under $0.01 in 2010 at launch suddenly values at close to $20,000. For fear of missing out the big thing, people all over the world frantically rushed to stock it up. On December 8, and exactly two days after bitcoin price reached its historic high, The Straits Times reported that the herd of Singapore buyers crashed two bitcoin ATM machines in Hong Lim Complex and Tiong Bahru Plaza. When asked what drove them to snap up the cryptocurrency, one of the buyers replied, “I’ve never bought bitcoin before, but it is the talk of the town now,” said Mr Wen, who was retrenched a month ago. “Buying bitcoin is like buying Toto. But Toto is so hard to hit, I might as well use the money to buy bitcoin, which is going higher every day.” Since it peaked at USD19,340 on December 6, the value of the virtual currency has fallen more than 50 percent – another investment designed to make the poor poorer. Want to hear some advice straight from the “wolf’s mouth”? Jordan Belfort, the con artist behind the based-on-true-story 2013 movie The Wolf of Wall Street, believed that bitcoin was built a “perfect storm for manipulation”. It was originally designed as a currency but is now being manipulated as an investment vehicle. Since the rise in prices is based on wild speculation, it will eventually crash. Belfort knows it better than anyone. He himself has swindled $200 million in a penny-stock scam in the 1990s. There are three common types of investors who are likely to go after bitcoin: When something is all over the front page of Forbes, Time, Fortune, Reuters or CNBC, it is difficult to resist the temptation of laying your hands on it. When everyone is talking about something, it is tempting to give it a try to join the conversation. Remember what the Singapore bitcoin buyer interviewed by The Straits Times said? “Buying bitcoin is like buying Toto. But Toto is so hard to hit, I might as well use the money to buy bitcoin.” People who invest in hype are often

Acting as your own personal assistant, Amazon Alexa allows you to ask a wide range of questions (Some with some entertaining answers!) as well as access an ever-growing number of features using just the sound of your voice. Start using these commands as soon as you set up your Alexa device! Alexa is Amazon's proprietary speech-driven service, similar to what Siri is for the iPhone. Commands to the service are known as skills; these capabilities run the gamut from playing a particular song to raising the temperature on your thermostat. The most popular Alexa-enabled device is Amazon Echo, but the voice service is also available on Fire TV and other select Amazon and third-party products such as the Aristotle baby monitor and LG's Hub Robot. While Alexa can use the thousands and thousands of skills that are available, there are a few things to keep in mind. Not all of these skills were developed by Amazon. Developers have access to write and publish their own skills for Alexa that then become available to users like yourself.Some of these skills may not be worth your time, simply because they aren't very helpful or enjoyable.Certain skills may require additional hardware (i.e., turning on a light with Alexa) This shouldn't scare you away, however. Alexa-enabled devices are great to have in your home and, with a little tweaking, can prove to be very good companions. I’ve hand-picked some of the most useful and unique Alexa skills from the thousands that are out there. Many of these skills will not be enabled by default, so you may need to follow the proper activation steps before using each one for the first time. For most, simply saying Alexa, enable [skill name] will do the trick. While some skills can be set up by following Alexa's voice prompt instructions, others need to be activated via the Alexa app or on Amazon's website. To do so, first search for the skill name and then select the Enable button.In the Alexa app, this is achieved by selecting the main menu button (found in the upper left-hand corner of the screen) and choosing the Skills option. From here you can browse Alexa skills by category or other criteria such as those favored the most by its large user base. You can also search for skills by keyword or name through this same interface.If you're using Amazon's website instead of the app, first ensure that you are logged into the account that is associated with your Alexa-enabled device.Next, click on the drop-down menu located next to the search bar at the top of the screen and choose Alexa Skills. From here you can search for skills by keyword or name. You'll also be taken to the Alexa Skills section of the website after performing your initial search.Once you click the Enable button associated with a particular skill it will then be activated on all of your Alexa-enabled devices, assuming that you've registered them with the same Amazon account, and will be ready for use. You'll notice in the lists below that many Alexa skills are called by using trigger words like open, start, play and ask. While select skills require you to use specific terms, others consider them to be interchangeable and will work with some or all of these phrases. Over time you'll begin launching your favorite skills by the words you feel most comfortable using. Initially, though, it can be fun to play around with each. I recommend reading How to Make Alexa the Center of Your Smart Home to learn more about how the service can be used on multiple devices. Entertainment and Humor-Related Skills The following Alexa skills will keep you entertained for hours on end. Notice each command is clearly stated with an action, such as open or ask. Alexa, open the Tonight Show: Missed Jimmy Fallon's monologue last night? Want to know who the comedian's upcoming guests are? This skill has you covered.Alexa, play Beer Goggles: Maybe you should hold off on pouring another drink. This skill asks a set of questions and then determines whether or not you've reached your limit based on the responses.Alexa, ask Westeros: With the amount of sheer carnage in George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones, it can be hard to keep up with who's still alive. This skill lets you know whether a particular character has been confirmed dead or not. It's based on the

to intervene with the transactions. Each transaction is secured with the help of keys (the private key, as the name suggests, is only revealed to those parties that conduct the transaction). One should also keep in mind the fact that Blockchain is an immutable ledger, which cannot be tampered with. Blockchains cannot be hackers (hypothetically, it would take a quantum computer to do so, but there are already quantum-proof Blockchains in the likes of IOTA). Considering that 40 percent of financial bodies face economic crimes that lead to significant losses. At the same time, Blockchain’s mechanism is extremely difficult to corrupt. Greater efficiency. Blockchain would be able to cut the operational costs of major banks by 50 percent. The technology will allow banks to drastically reduce the cost of transactions while simultaneously bringing more transparency to the table. Another study, which was conducted by consultancy firm Bain, shows that Blockchain could reduce trade finance operating costs by up to 80 percent if implemented right. The cost reduction would be primarily the result of faster transactions — according to their estimations, the speed of settlements, billings and payments by four times could experience a three-fold increase. Sending money to another country is not an easy feat. For instance, Wells Fargo clients have to pay a $45 fee in order to perform an international wire transfer. This is objectively a huge waste of money considering the yearly volume of cross-border transactions reached $180 trln last year. Ripple, for instance, is viewed as an alternative to mainstream bank transfer systems (SWIFT remains the main target for disruption). There have been numerous rumors about a potential partnership between the two, with some suggesting that SWIFT could eventually buy Ripple. However, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse dispelled these rumors back in November, stating that they are hell-bent on taking over SWIFT. Garlinghouse also reveals that almost ‘at least’ 100 SWIFT-connected banks are already utilizing their xCurrent product. In other news, Euro Exim Bank, the very first bank that started using Ripple’s xRapid, is testing its new trade finance system with the help of the Ripple Blockchain. The cost of commercial claims resolved through litigation around the world reaches a staggering $870 bln (and that sum of money doesn’t take into account contract mismanagement). Smart contracts debuted with Ethereum in 2015. This feature allows encoding information about the terms and conditions of a contract on a Blockchain, and they cannot be tampered with due to its immutability. It is worth mentioning that smart contracts are also self-enforcing, which means that there are no financial intermediaries. Money is only released from an escrow when the terms of the contract are met. Blockchain could cut the red herring in the banking industry, completely eradicating complicated legal documentation. Smart contracts could be used for loan servicing, insurance, etc.Each financial institution has to shell out on average $48 mln in order to conduct KYC for their customers. Back in 2017, Thomson Reuters reported that reported that KYC-related procedures for banking giants with annual revenue of $10 bln exceeded $142 mln. Notably, the cost of such procedures tends to go higher each year. With Blockchain, storing data that pertains to the customer’s financial history is much easier. An immutable ledger could keep all information about the source of funds, loan history, and the customer’s business activity. The information is securely stored on a Blockchain, and it can be shared with other banks. Just like in the previous case, Blockchain could significantly reduce the cost of auditing and reporting information to regulatory authorities. Undoubtedly, regulatory compliance is crucially important, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be that expensive.U.Today already reported that Big-Four auditors are trilling Blockchain technology within a consortium with 20 Taiwanese banks. The tamper-proof technology is the perfect choice for verifying the authenticity of transactions.Digital wallets represent a huge threat to the banking industry. Hence, banks take matters into their own hands while the industry is still nascent. The total number of people with a credit card is 1 bln, which is 40 times bigger than the size of the public with a cryptographic wallet (25 mln). Rabobank, a major Dutch multinational banking company, already planned to integrate a cryptocurrency wallet into its online banking system. Bank of America, for instance, was awarded a patent for secure crypto storage, which gave ground to many speculations that it’s going to operate a crypto wallet. It may come as a surprise, but in the age of bleeding-edge technologies, people still mainly rely on fax for syndicated lending (when multiple institutions join forces in order to provide a loan). On average, it takes 19 days for a bank to approve your loan, and your loan amount will most likely get disbursed in 5-7 working days. Yes, you guessed it – Blockchain could substantially alleviate the process of taking out a loan. That’s exactly why global banking giant Credit Suisse launched a commercial platform for Blockchain-powered syndicated loans in 2019.Literally, almost every bank under the sun. Currently, up to 99 percent of banks and investment firms are either exploring the new technology or already utilizing it. CEOs of the biggest banking institutions in the world recognize the disruptive potential of Blockchain, and they are actively working on new use cases that are based on the new technology in order not to be left behind if it indeed explodes and becomes bigger than the Internet.As U.Today reported earlier, Bank of America (BofA) is one of the leading companies by the amount of Blockchain-related patents, along with such behemoths as IBM and Alibaba.

Share3K Tweet403 Share242 Pin6KShares 9K This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for more info. One of the most common questions I hear is how to start a side hustle when you dont have any good ideas. This is a little list of side hustle business ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Its by no means an exhaustive list, and I encourage you to add your own idea to the bottom if its not on here. The beauty of these side hustle ideas is that many dont require a huge initial investment or even necessarily a highly specialized skill-set. And certainly, not all qualify as business ideas, but each has the potential to earn you money in your spare time. If you prefer to download a PDF version of this post to read later, click the button below: Click here to download a free PDF version of this post 1. Teaching English.Earn $14-22 per hour teaching English to young students in China via video chat with VIPkid. If youre eligible to work in the US or Canada, a bachelors degree and a year of educational experience are the only prerequisites. Cool side note: Tutoring, mentoring, or coaching all qualify as teaching experience. 2. Affiliate Marketing. Refer website visitors to buy products online and earn a small commission on each sale. This is actually how Ive made the bulk of my living over the last 10 years, so it definitely works! Note: Please do me a favor and dont buy into anyones sleazy affiliate marketing program or system. There are unfortunately a lot of slimy salespeople out there making their living taking advantage of newbies. If you want to learn more about affiliate marketing, check out my chat with Michelle Schroeder-Gardner, who consistently earns over $50k a month as an affiliate all while traveling full-time. 3. Airbnb. If you have extra room in your house, you can earn money renting it out to visitors on Airbnb.com. Its a pretty cool way to make money and meet interesting people from around the world at the same time. With a little bit of traction, you could even cover your entire rent or mortgage by hosting guests on Airbnb. Have you tried it? My friend Jasper travels the world while renting out his Amsterdam apartment. The next step: In addition to a small portfolio of her own short-term rental properties, Zeona McIntyre has built a side business in co-hosting other Airbnbs. She essentially acts as the property manager, coordinating guest check-ins, maintenance, and cleaning, in exchange for 20% of the rent with none of the risk. 4. Ethical Credit Card Reward Hacking No, not hacking in an evil way, but taking advantage of various sign-up bonuses and cash back offers doled out by banks. Youve got to promise to do this responsibly, but its actually earned my wife and I thousands of dollars in free money and travel over the last few years. Whats the easiest way to get started? Try a new cash back card on for size. For instance, theChase Freedom Unlimitedcard offersup to 30% cash back $150 after you spend $500 with no annual fee. Compare this card to other cash back cards here. If you know youre gonna spend $500 in the next 3 months, thats #freemoney. (If youre worried about your credit score, dont be. Ive opened probably a dozen credit card accounts in the last few years and still have a 750 credit score.) 5. Driving.If youre free mornings, nights, or weekends, you can earn extra cash driving your fellow citizens around. Sign up with Lyft(currently offering a $250 sign-up bonus) orUberto get started. One cool hack:Both companies offer Destination Mode, which basically allows you to earn money on your regular morning and evening commute by telling the app which direction youre headed and only accepting riders along your route. 6. Delivery Service. With services like UberEATS you can earn money on your own schedule delivering take-out orders in your town and you dont have to worry about keeping your car super clean for passengers. 7. Notary Public Service.Notary certification is granted by the state and the cost is generally less than $100. Once youre certified, you can charge your own fee to notarize documents, or become a loan signing agent like Mark did and make $75-200 for overseeing mortgage signings. 8. Online Surveys. These wont make you rich, but can be an easy way to supplement your income and you can do them in your downtime (waiting in line, watching TV, etc.). CashCrate appears to be a legitimate operator, and you may find some opportunities on Mechanical Turk. If you love this stuff, check out Swagbucks and InboxDollars for more. 9. Picking up Trash. Brian Winch has been doing this over 30 years and calls it Americas simplest business. He says you can earn $50,000-$100,000 a yearfor basically walking local parking lots and cleaning up the garbage. Check out the interview I did with Brian to learn more. 10. Renting Out Your Car.In select markets, you can rent out your car on a daily or hourly basis to earn extra cash through companies likeTuro. According to their site, the average car sits idle 22 hours a day, so their service is a unique opportunity to capitalize on those idle hours. The company handles all the insurance. 11. Blogging. Blogging is difficult to monetize but can be a fun outlet to practice your writing or build an audience around a particular idea. Jon Dykstra is the master of quickly building and monetizing blog sites from zero to six-figures, and my friend Rosemarie now earns $20k a month with her blog about frugal living. Want to start a blog of your own? Check out my free 6-part video course on how to start your own site. 12. Child Care.Is it just me, or does babysitting sound amateur compared to child care? Register on sites like SitterCity to begin building a client base. 13. Caregiving.This business continues to grow as the population ages, and popular sites like Care.com can help match you with customers. 14. Teaching Online.Udemy is an impressive online education platform where students can connect with teachers from all around the world in any subject. You can create your own course around a topic youre an expert in and set your own tuition rate. To learn more about this cool new side hustle, check out my interview with top-performing Udemy instructor, Scott Britton. He shares how he created a passive income stream on a topic he wasnt an expert in, in just 18 hours! Later, Rob and Phil shared their success stories as well. Related: The 134 Best Udemy Courses for Entrepreneurs, Freelancers, and Side Hustlers If you have an existing subscriber base to sell to, you might be able to sell the course directly and not have to worry about losing margin to Udemy. One resource with some great information on creating your own online course for passive income is my podcast with Ankur Nagpal. 15. Baking. Do people love your desserts? Maybe you could provide cake, cookies, or cupcakes to some corporate event in town. Kathryn, my public coaching volunteer, was hustling hard to start a gluten-free bakery in Portland. 16. Becoming an Adjunct Professor.You may need a graduate degree for this one, but it can be a fun way to share your knowledge with the next generation of students and earn some good money on the side especially if you can teach online or with pre-recorded lectures. 17. Being a TaskRabbit.Task Rabbit is an on-demand errand-running service that enlists regular people to help out. You can earn money in your spare time completing real-world tasks on their unique platform. One user in Atlanta makes a full-time living assembling IKEA furniture! The platform also allows for virtual work like online research and other tasks that can be done remotely. 18. Selling on Amazon.One of the most popular side hustles lately has been Amazons FBA program, in which you find bargain deals locally, and ship them off to sell on Amazon. One Side Hustle Nation reader reports earning $500 per month doing this in his spare time, and a year later was up to $4k a month. Another scaled this to 6-figures in less than a year, and I even made a bit of money when I tried it myself. 19. Selling on eBay.eBay can be a tough, low-margin, competitive environment, but thats not to say there arent any opportunities left to earn extra cash on the worlds largest marketplace. I met one side hustle ebay seller who sold $100,000 worth of stuff (mostly used electronics) on ebay in one year, and another who built a 6-figure business as the Flea Market Flipper. 20. Selling on Etsy. Etsy is the worlds largest marketplace for unique hand-crafted goods. What can you make? My friend Kara started selling wine-themed wedding decor on Etsy as a side hustle and since turned it into a full-time business. 21. Selling on Fiverr.Fiverr is one of the greatest sites in the world. The basic premise is what would you do for $5? Youll find everything from hilariously weird and useless gags tolegitimate and genuinely helpfulmicro-business tasks. Check out these fine Side Hustle Nation posts for more on how to make Fiverr work for you both as a buyer and a seller: How to Build a 6-Figure Side Hustle on Fiverr 19 Fiverr Gigs to Help Start Your Side Hustle How One Fiverr Seller Earned Enough Cash to Buy a House [Podcast] $10 from a Single Sale on Fiverr [Podcast] Ive used Fiverr for graphic design,

, it's subverted; the very last 'merchant' you meet before the final battle will give you anything he has in stock and perform all services for free. He also fights on your side in the final battle, so he has plenty of incentive to make sure you're as tough as can be. Zigzagged in MapleStory; while you don't get discounts for your heroics, one benefit to belonging to a Guild is that they grant merchant discounts depending on their game ranking. The bigger the guild and the most high-Level players in said guild, the better the discount. Thus, a guild full of heroic players will indeed get a Hero Discount, but this is rendered void if you leave it. In Exit Fate, it's possible to recruit a few people to your army who then set up shops in your castle. Even though they're working for you, they still charge the same prices as every other shopkeeper in the game. In Fallout 3, being nice to the ghoul bartender gets you a discount on anything he sells, but others are fairly unfriendly towards you, even after you repeatedly save their collective asses. In Rivet City, there's an unmarked quest involving a city council member and a fellow merchant who accuses him of stealing his council seat. Completing the quest in favor of one will get you a discount from them, but cause the other to raise their prices. This is lampshaded in the Mothership Zeta DLC, when Somah charges you money to repair your equipment despite the two of you having been kidnapped by aliens and fighting for your lives to escape. Somah points out that even if you both do escape, she's as good as dead anyway if she doesn't have any money to survive on in the Wasteland. Fallout: New Vegas averts this with the addition of faction reputations, as you get a discount from merchants who are associated with a faction that likes you. This mechanic highlights other vendors apparent lack of gratitude though, a particularly notable example is Old Lady Gibson, who runs the junkyard just outside Novac. Despite being tied to Novac and its economy, she isn't marked as being part of the town and won't give you any discounts when you restore the town's salvage industry by clearing out the Repconn test site during the Come Fly With Me quest, even though she explains she gets all her junk from Repconn. She will even charge you five hundred caps for a MacGuffin critical to completing said quest, which is a lot for low level characters. She is tied for first with the Gun Runners for being the richest vendor in the game, so its hard to ignore her if you want to sell all your Vendor Trash. The bartender in Goodsprings will give you a discount if you drive away the attack by the Powder Gangers "on account of what you done for us." Cost for repairing items is also completely unaffected by discounts or Barter skill. The Great Khan armory merchant sells at price if you're liked by them. No discount - base price, whether you're buying or selling. This makes her an excellent choice for unloading expensive stuff, since you can trade in for ammunition and other cheap stuff without suffering price attrition. Fallout 4 zigzags on this trope. There are a few vendors who will give you very good prices based on your affiliations. For example, Tinker Tom will only sell to you if you're a member of the Railroad, but he offers excellent prices because he's also a member of the Railroad and trying to help you out. Unfortunately, he's got rather limited selection. Other vendors won't give you that great of discounts, even shops you've built yourself at your settlements (though the fact that you get a cut of the profits does help offset this). The Final Fantasy series is quite fond of this trope. Final Fantasy V sort of subverts this by having the shopkeeper in Bartz's home town give a discount (which is very appreciated when the single revival item in the game costs 1000 gold), but only because it's Bartz's hometown, not because he's a hero. Final Fantasy VI subverts it at Figaro Castle, where the shopkeepers will refuse to charge Edgar (the king) or Sabin (his brother). However, both characters insist on paying, pointing out that the shopkeepers still have to earn a living. (If Edgar is your party leader, they still give you a 50% discount, though.) Final Fantasy VIII contains one exception. If you return to Timber after you're finished there in the main story, you can save a little girl from getting run over by a train, and it earns you a free night at the inn. Played straight for everything else. How much for a train ticket? Lampshaded in Final Fantasy X right before the battle with That One Boss, Evrae, which also leads almost directly to a whole gauntlet run of bosses, Rin will still charge you exorbitant prices. When asked why, when you could all die, he replies: Rin: I have faith in your victory. Also, the shopkeeper O'aka actually would give you a discount, but in his case only if you had donated a large sum of money to him when he was struggling to get his business off the ground. Otherwise, he charges almost double what any other shop would. In Final Fantasy X-2, O'aka is so in debt to the Al Bhed that he's willing to avert this trope and give you a discount just so he can pay his debt off. In fact, if you help him clear out his entire debt, he'll be so thankful that he'll sell you his stock at a 90% discount. While less related to the economy, in Final Fantasy X random people would give you items if you talked to them (this happens much less frequently after you defeat Seymour for the first time, as most of Spira brands your party as traitors), considering you're a summoner and her guardians. It made the stinginess of the shopkeepers more noticeable. Handwaved in Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, where the only vendor in the game actually works for you, purchasing equipment while you're off
