How to get into this wonderful world of cryptocurrency, where to get start-up capital?
Warning! This article is not a call to action, and is informational only.
Of course, we have Steemit ;) But, there is another way- sell yourself. I mean literally, not into sexual or labor slavery. Your body is unique result of millions of years of evolution, scientists still can not thoroughly recreate many of its parts. That's why in the legal and black markets you can get a good money by selling yourself by pieces. Let's find out what is your price.
Renewable resources
For a start, let's try to make money on something, that will not cause serious damage to our health. The resources that our body produces temporarily, permanently, or can resume their loss.
Blood
Blood donor - it is a legal way to earn a little money in any country in the world. The price depends on the quality and rarity of your blood. The payment also varies greatly from country to country: $25/1 liter in India, $300-400/1 liter + an extra day off and free food in developed countries. It makes no sense to sell for once all 5 liter that you have, it will only bring $2000 and death. Blood plasma will increase the profit by 10-15%.
Hair
It's not as painful as to sell blood, but you can't do it so often. Throw off a little of your wool on a wig for cosmetic industry. The price depends on the quality of your hair, length and natural color. Blonde and red hair with a length of more than 50 cm are the most expensive and the heaviest.
The average number of hairs on the head of the brunettes is 100,000-110,000, blondes have 200.000!
The minimum profit for one approach- $100, the maximum-$ 4000. The speed of hair growth is 1 cm per month, so you will not be able to do it more than once every 2-3 years.
Egg cell
Until that moment, you and your bald girlfriend earned the same amount of money. Now everything has changed. The cost of one egg - $8.000-$12.000, during the life one woman can sell up to 6 egg cell. By the way, in the US this “transaction” is taxed. Guys, do not despair, we still have an ace in the hole...
Sperm
Take a glass, your hand and get $100 per serving (if you did it in G7 countries). On average, the world price is $50 for jacking off. You can masturbate for money every 3 days, while you can not drink and smoke. So, the income per month of $500 - checkmate, girls! But, you have to forget about real sex. Anyway, nobody wants to have sex with a bald guy, who looks like a zombie after putting 1 liter of blood ;)
Bone marrow
The source of stem cells. Body organ, which is responsible for creating blood. Your body contains 1000 grams of bone marrow, the average price per gram $23,000. In almost all countries, the sale of bone marrow is illegal, only the voluntary and gratuitous donorship. Legalized in several States in the US, but you will not get the money in cash, and will be able to invest in education or real estate.
Poop
I would like to end this part of the article on a positive note, so added not the most profitable, but the easiest way to earn money:
$50-200 for 1 kg of your poop. There is fecal transplantation (bacteriotherapy), which allows to restore the intestinal microflora. As with the blood in this case donors are needed.
Limited resources
Jokes aside, we will talk about a serious donorship. Modern medicine is not yet able to recreate the following bodies in a fully functioning form. Therefore, every year thousands of patients expect their chance in endless lists of transplantation.
Kidney
Have two, can give one. The most popular organ in the market of transplantation, 75% of all requests fall on it. Main filter of the body after the liver, is responsible for the withdrawal of fluid and thermoregulation of the body. Left with only one kidney you won't be able to lead a full life, not to mention smoking and alcohol. The price varies very much from the country: $15.000 in India and $262.000 in the United States. Do not spend all money on a new iPhone, like one Chinese student in 2012.
Liver
Main filter of the blood, which performs up to 1 million chemical reactions per minute. The only organ that cannot be replaced artificially for a long time. It's kind of a Wolverine among the bodies, its ability to regenerate is amazing. That's why you can donate half of your liver and stay almost a full healthy person. The average price- $54.000 (illegal) and $500.000 (legally). Rich chronic alcoholics will happily give this this money for the half of your poor but healthy liver.
A fragment of the intestine
In a living organism, the length of the intestine is 4 meters, after death of 15 meters, it is associated with muscle relaxation. For transplantation is taken to a certain fragment, identical to the affected fragment of the patient. After surgery you will have to go on a strict diet the rest of your life, but your balance will increase by $67,000.
Skin
Skin transplantation is most often required for serious burns. Typically, the material for transplant are taken from the patient, primarily from the buttocks. Not many people are able to sacrifice their skin, so basically it is received from the dead. Price: $10 for 6.5 sq cm, the overall average area of all human skin is 2 sq. m.
Lung
Our body is much stronger than we think. For example: you can live with only 1 lung, but of course you have to forget about sports. A donor can become a person who smokes no more than 20 packs of cigarettes per year. Such operations are carried out only in several countries of the world. The price of one lung is $ 56.000 (illegal) and $ 250.000 (legally).
One organ for only one body
The most important for the body and most inaccessible organs on the transplant market. The transplant does not leave the donor a chance to survive.
Heart
Probably the most important organ after the brain. Almost impossible to buy it on the black market. The problem is not in the heart ($120.000 illegal), but the fact that none of the underground surgeons will not be able to carry out successful transplantation. The cost of legal operations reaches $1.000.000, Transplantation kit: heart + 2 lungs will cost $2.000.000.
Pancreas
Transplantation is required in severe forms of diabetes. For transplant can be used only part of the pancreas, but modern methods of surgery leave no choice but to extract it whole together with the liver and duodenum. Price: $44.000
Skeleton
Modern skeletons for the training of students are made of polymeric materials, but this does not reduce the relevance of real bones. India - the leader of the underground trade, the source are the numerous body of beggars. The cost of a full skeleton with all bones $3.000-$5.000. Also, some individual bones can be used to transplant to sick people: the shoulder joint will cost $2.000, the knee joint costs $5.000.
The whole body at once
If you see such a “sculpture”, with a 90% probability it is a real human body. Oddly enough, but today the Plastination it is quite a profitable business. Special embalming technique allows to keep the internal organs and the human body almost in its original form. Such exhibits are often used for museums and learning. Your family can get $45.000 for your body.
Chemicals
More expensive than the organs are the substances that they produce when working together: hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters. Many of these substances cannot be synthesized outside the body. Wired magazine in 2013 published the approximate cost of the human body at the molecular level: $46.000.000.
The list of the most expensive substances in your body in the calculation of the price for 1 gram:
- Apolipoproteins $ 496.000
- Ceruloplasmin $ 179.240
- DNA cell $ 1.290.000
- Prolactin $4.662.500
- Immunoglobulin (IgG) $67.000
- Prothrombin $71. 400
- Cerebrospinal fluid $47.500
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone $55.650
- Insulin $3.500.000
- Transferrine $18.900
In fact, each of you is priceless. I sincerely hope that none of you will never have the need of buying, selling and expectations of organs for transplantation. Take care of yourself and your loved ones and stay healthy.
