1061  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The love in football on: November 23, 2023, 09:15:25 PM

To some people watching football games is a waste of time and energy. This is because they have other sports that entertain them far better than football. I think the choice of spots depends to a large extent on the location of an individual. Football might not be as popular as cricket in Pakistan and India. Baseball and basketball ball will also be more played in the US than football. So we can conclude that more people will love cricket in Pakistan and China and we will also have more fans of baseball and basketball in the US than football.

Whichever that is more popular but at least they played and watch football, I can't argue that there are people who doesn't like football it's just a matter of choices. But the population of esports can't be compared to football in general because is kind of game which every kids do practice right from childhood even though in their home you can still finds some kids doing that or most of the secondary do sets some kinds of inter-competition and intra-competition among schools and classrooms to know how skillful the students are in terms of football, although their are others popular games being played but our time only football was so common.

You just made me remember those good old days in primary school during our games session the classes plays football match against each other and it was really fun as other classmates that are not featured in the match will cheer their classmates that are playing up it's really damn fun though.

When we talk about football, we are referring to a sports that more than 90% of the countries in the world embrace and are involved in. Football is like a symbol that brings countries together with one another. Majority of the world population likes football and plays or watch football so the kind of popularity that football have gained across the globe can never be compared with any other sports.

Grin I understand the area of the thread and it is good thread to encourage newbies. Op you don't have to worry. One thing I know in the forum is activity and since your activity has reached your next rank then you have to make some more quality post to have more merits rewards so you can rank up very fast. All your focus right now is for quality posts and not the opposite. You can make comments at all corners and make sure your comments are meritable.

Everyone will pass through this stage and all those users from full members and above has passed through this stage so yours is not the first. But I still encourage you to do well so you can get the desire merits to rank up and achieve you aims here.

Yes thank you so much as appreciating our little beginning always channel us into a good dimension to achieve greater things ahead. I will continue to make good and quality posts whether they are merited or not as sometimes our help doesn't really come from places we hope it's gonna come from.

You are trying and especially the way you reply your post to give a general overview towards a post show that you are gradually getting matured in the forum. I also like the fact that you have come to acknowledge the forum most people do not care about their total performance or how people sees them like me I do asked questions to people to give their overall view towards my post and activities and they rated me fine from then it gave me the vibes and energy to gear up than my previous performance.

Thanks for your word of encouragement as sometimes in this life we actually need people to show us way in then we can find our way out. Thanks you also for your candid contribution to the forum and the local board, your overall performance so far is indeed applaudable.

Op congratulation for this achievement, no reason am say na small thing wey you don achieve, only this one na evidence say you dey do enough reading and you be contributor for this forum, as I dey like sef I never reach reach 10 active days for this forum. Concerning the merit part, me I go say na God dey run am, because most times na our lower quality post them naim dey get merit pass some high quality, most times some quality post no dey even get 1 merit sef, no be say people no find am useful oo, na just because some times dem no get smerit to give at that time or dem no feel like to give at that time. Anyways the only advise I get na be say make you keep the good work up, and continue as a good contributor for this forum, one day you go reach where you wan go.

This one wey you talk like this sweet me well well say na God they run the awarding of merits to posts as sometimes some of our quality posts that deserves merits yet they don't get then the one we don't even spend much time and energy that's the ones that merit is awarded but however that shouldn't be a prerequisite that we shouldn't make good and quality posts be it that they are merited or not.
1063  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Y beginners need to de shine eye 4 their privacy matter on: November 23, 2023, 07:49:14 AM
Op thank you for this thread but wetin I wan talk be say as a beginner, person need a trusted senior man wey go dey guild am through for anything concerning all these online stuffs if not the possibility of one falling for internet scams and fraud is very very possible because there are some information that one can just see online and see other people testify of how such platforms or apps helped them in solving their problems but they wouldn't know it's a fraudulent platform since some person are talking good about the app so in that case it requires someone that is more experienced in the system that can guide a beginner through in the internet space and the need to take their privacy at utmost priority so a beginner actually needs an experienced person that can stand as a mentor in guiding him through the internet as that's the quickest way to grow ones knowledge about the importance of their privacy.
1064  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / after spending 10 days total login time on bitcointalk on: November 23, 2023, 07:38:58 AM
I've a total of 10 days log in time today since i joined this life transforming bitcointalk forum and i must confess that the experience i've gotten so far is amazing.

At first when i joined this forum newly on 16th july 2023, i was finding it difficult to navigate and understand the activities of the forum, i spent almost a month watching and learning about the forum and i started getting accustomed to how the forum works then i began to give my opinion towards other people's thread, as time goes on i began creating threads as well and what amazed me most was when i started receiving merits from quality posts i've made, getting these merit increased my morale to study more and give more vital ideas on topics that are being discussed in the forum.

As days goes by thats how my activity started growing and merits awarded to my quality posts. My activity now has reach the level of a full member but my total merit hasn't gotten to the number required before being confirmed a full member. I believe with time i will reach the desired merits that will increase my ranks accordingly.

 I encourage everyone that is new to this forum to spend more time learning from this forum rather than jumping into making posts that will become irrelevant or has no meaning to offer any idea to the forum. I'm also happy to be a member of a signature campaign and i believe i will do my best to my benefit and also to the benefit of the signature campaign i am representing.

I know most people will say it's too early to celebrate my stay in this bitcointalk forum but i tell you in this life we need to appreciate our little beginning so that it can give us an edge towards achieving great success tomorrow.
1065  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Why do people forget their passwords? on: November 23, 2023, 07:20:19 AM
Recently, i have been coming across more stories of person's that have forgotten their passwords or keys, and because of that, have lost their investments (btc and other coins) in the process.

Let us enlightenment ourselves, What could be some causes of this?
Could it be stress, elaborate passwords or something else (please state what you think is a cause).

From identifying the causes, i believe we will be able to get solutions.



Most of the reasons why I think people do forget their password is due to the feature of fingerprint in most of this platforms that gives room for log in through fingerprints. Most platforms and apps make provision for fingerprints more especially on mobile devices and android phones and moreover auto log in is also a factor that leads to one forgetting their password because when you automatically login to platforms without imputing password definitely as time goes on the password can easily be forgotten, then as for seed phrases the words are many such that not everyone can really recall their seed phrases except they store it in a safe place of which it can even be misplaced if you don't check it up frequently.
1066  Other / Serious discussion / Re: What has football taught you ? on: November 23, 2023, 06:55:50 AM
Football has taught me that the world can still come together as one body and do things that will bring about unity and entertainment across the world. Over the years football have united so many lover of football across the globe because sometimes one can travel to another country and meet someone that supports same club with him and the both of them can just become good friends. When we talk about football, we are definitely referring to a universal language that brings us together irrespective of religion, country, belief, tribe and ethnicity. Football is a language of love as people becomes friends all over the world just because of football as players that moves from one country to another make friends within his teammates and fans also makes friends with one another just simply because they are supporting same team.
1067  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: unnecessarily quoting by members of the forum. on: November 23, 2023, 06:27:14 AM
I have only come across this type of replies in megathreads, mostly in gambling and speculation. If a person has to make this type of comment, they likely did it for a reason. There are some conversations where you have to go back to where it all started before you can understand what is being discussed. Most people do this so that anyone who enters a discussion can quickly read and understand where it all began. I don't expect a random person to jump into any argument or discussion without knowing the reasons.

Yeah, your are quite right I've seen some posts that if the first person that started the discussion is not referenced then the content of the information might not completely make any meaning. It is important for users to calm down and read carefully before quoting someone in other to know the kind of information the user is passing because if the conversation is being bridged then the reader may find it difficult to comprehend the content of the write up.
1068  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Things you should know about dust on: November 23, 2023, 01:57:46 AM
Op what about a scenario whereby you merge both the amount of cryptos you want to transfer to someone including the transaction fees but yet it keeps saying unable to transfer due to dust UTXO what can someone do at that time because I've encountered a situation whereby I have 0.0008575btc in my wallet then I wanted to send it to another address but the transaction fee was about 0.00093btc so I now tried sending 0.0007645btc to the address but I still got the dust UTXO error so what can be done in other for the dust error not to appear again
1069  Other / Meta / Re: News board on: November 23, 2023, 01:41:29 AM
The importance of news and information cannot be over emphasized especially in the crypto space. With the fast growing network of Bitcoin alot of things happen which as Bitcoin supporters we would like to know from time to time.
Over time threads of many kinds have been created on this forum which served as a form of news  to forum members in general. Here is a couple of them I could  find on just the first page of the discussion board;

A news subboard would increase the rate at which more news updates on Bitcoin are shared in the forum.it would also organize the  forum better.
What do you think?
 

Inasmuch as bitcointalk is concerned, I believe that each news and information has their basic boards where it can be buttressed so creating more sub-boards again in respect of the pre-existing ones might not really be obtainable. And it it understood that any information as regards to anything that's happening around the crypto space can be achieved here unless they're information that isn't related to crytocurrencies especially bitcoin but moreover every other information that may not be bitcoin related are still covered in off-topic forum so almost everything we seek within the crypto space have been made available on this forum
1070  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Earnings on: November 23, 2023, 01:30:19 AM
I am a newbie in bitcoin I want to learn a lot about bitcoin I want to do marketing and trading with bitcoin if any of you are expert or if someone is more skilled please give me some suggestion so that I can do something good and my future is good.
If you are asking users here to teach you how to trade, then you shouldn't trade and trading may not be for you right now. Like you said; you're a newbie in BTC, and trading isn't for newbies, it is very complicated and you can lose all your money very fast. Now what do you mean by "i want to do marketing with BTC", i don't know what that means but what you need now is to learn about BTC as a cesnsorship resistant and permissonless currency, and not as an investment, at least for now.

You are right on advising him not to trade since his still a newbie as everything will look so strange in his eyes and he might run into a lot of losses because of the fact that he's inexperienced, I think sometimes too as a newbie the best thing to do is to buy and hodl bitcoins and after which one can now try to learn and understand basic trading ethics to follow in other not to run into numerous losses. Though I know that someone that introduced him to this forum must have given him a hint of how trading bitcoin work but didn't enlighten him on the dangers of trading when he has little or no knowledge about some trading strategies that are often applied for safe trading
1071  Other / Meta / Re: Should Merit-Sources use feelings when giving out Merit? on: November 23, 2023, 01:16:53 AM
You know humans, if they do not like someone, they will not do anything in favour of the person they dislike. And can theymos know, he can not know. But we have 109 merit source with approximately 33940 smerits given by theymos almost every 30 days. If a merit source do not like you, another merit source will like you unless you are not posting something useful.

Sure I believe that before merit source is given to someone, they must have been scrutinize if they ain't gonna be biased in distributing merits accordingly and merits are mostly awarded to good and quality posters as their is never a way all the merit sources can skip a quality posts that deserves to be merited. And I also believe that merit sources are also checked from time to time to know if they're fair in giving out merits to quality posters.
1072  Other / Meta / Re: Understanding Multiple accounts (newbie) on: November 23, 2023, 01:02:39 AM
If you have two accounts and one of the two accounts is banned, that means the second account will be banned if known. Also if your account has been banned and you open another account and be posting (than on meta about ban appeal or so), your account will be banned again

So if one has multiple accounts and when one get banned the rest also automatically becomes banned so I want to know the real essence of opening multiple accounts because if the activities of one of the accounts will definitely affect the other then there isn't need to proceed in opening multiple accounts and I want to understand why is there a need for an alternate account.
1073  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: November 23, 2023, 12:36:15 AM
Even due someone is investing in Bitcoin for the short term or the long term, it is advisable the person should have a source of income so that he/she will not rely on selling his Bitcoin holding to solve his life challenges. Fomo can also make someone to sell his Bitcoin holdings because he/she invested in Bitcoin to get some profit in an estimated time but when the profit doesn't come and the price of Bitcoin dips, that person might be forced to sell off his Bitcoin even at a loss.
If a person invests in BTC while they themselves do not have a source of income, their investment path will not reach their destination or be long term.
Life is full of challenges so a source of income is important if you only rely on investment alone then it will not be profitable while we know the price of bitcoin will not directly increase in a short time of course this requires a long time process so in addition you invest then on the one hand a source of income must exist to fulfill your life.

A lot of people that do invest their money on bitcoin rely on it to rise so that they can trade it, it's only few bitcoin investors that have the mind of hodling their bitcoin for a long time let's just be very realistic, many people that buy bitcoins monitors the activities in the price of stocks in the market. And inasmuch as investment is concerned, whoever that invested their money on a particular project is hoping to make profits so due to the fluctuations in market prices, you can't blame someone that chooses to sell off his bitcoins if he notices that instead of the price to go high it start dipping so they're always in fear of losing everything thereby the reason for them selling off the little they've accumulated.

People who have invested while there is no source of income then undoubtedly the ownership will not be long will definitely sell in the middle of the road whether it is because of the needs of life, or fomo, it could be because the price dropped and sold it for fear of loss.

Basically, anyone who invest in bitcoins without having an alternative means of income is taking a higher risk which isn't advisable because if things doesn't really go the way they expected, they may run into depression because all their energy is being focused on making profit in it so a situation where it doesn't go towards that direction, it becomes a problem.

But with you there is already a source of income at least there is no pressure on your bitcoin ownership, so this can still survive to hold BTC.

It is important to have a source of income before buying and hodling bitcoin for a long time, and looking from the framework of bitcoin since it was introduced, we can see that it requires a long interval of time before one can make a reasonable profit in it.

Luis Enrique is in his first season in Parc des Princes stadium, there's enough duties to expects from the new boss but with the current standings of the game, it looks everything is becoming tougher for the coach to handle, he will need to apply more pressure to maintain the balance of the club. PSG will face Monaco next and its going to be one of the challenging game for both teams. Monaco will always try their best to secure three points, PSG will be prepared to take on Monaco, I'm anticipating a goal-goal scores will be triggered.

Luis Enrique is doing his best at Paris Saint German, although the club needs more improvement because sometimes in their matches it looks like the boys ain't coordinated so what the club needs is a good understanding among players and the coach, PSG is a big club that can entertain any manager at all and still perform very well so their level of understanding among themselves needs more improvement because if the players are well organized they can do better in games without much impact from the coach
1075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 22, 2023, 10:16:17 PM
Chelsea last two matches very impressive, and perhaps this will make the Blues squad more confident against Newcastle. Apart from that, Chelsea also seems to have found their rhythm, because in 8 matches in all competitions the Chelsea team only one lost. This also proves that their performance already improve, so I'll probably favorite Chelsea in that match, and will bet on them.
Meanwhile, on the other side Eddie Howe may will be not too much pressure squad Newcastle to got winning against Chelsea, and in my opinion maybe they will be play safe because there is an important schedule in the UCL which requires Newcastle players to be fit.

Though Chelsea showed some changes in their pattern of play for their last two matches but that doesn't mean that they've picked form. Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino needs to put more of his attention on Chelsea's defense because that the major area they are lacking, if you check Chelsea's last 4 matches you will see that they concede losts of goal due to defensive errors. Mauricio Pochettino has coached Tottenham hotspurs and recorded good winnings with the club so I don't really know why he is having difficulties in transforming Chelsea like during his coaching career in Tottenham hotspurs, he made lots of success and understood the play nature of England teams so he shouldn't really be finding it hard to coordinate Chelsea.
1076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 22, 2023, 10:04:03 PM
Dortmund has experienced 2 consecutive defeats in the last 2 match, the first was defeated by Bayern Munich at home and the seconds, Dortmund suffered a defeat when they faced Stuttgart away from home. Indeed, this defeat made Dortmund appear to have experienced a decline in performance and I no longer see Dortmund strength like before, but at least with this defeat, Dortmund can return to its best performance and gain confidence again, and in the match again Mönchengladbach, Dortmund must be more careful because Monchengladbach is not an easy opponent, but Dortmund has a bigger chance of winning, so at least Dortmund must make good use of opportunities.

Bundesliga big teams can't be complete if a team like Borussia Dortmund is not mentioned, like they are always in the Champions league in most of their season but the for club to be without a trophy for a long time now is not a good one. Dortmund is a club that has talented players that can possibly help them win a trophy but yet they haven't had any recent trophy and I think that this club is mostly interested in training and developing young players and afterwards sell them at a higher price to some big clubs.

If not for this training and selling their key players, Dortmund would have been in more good performance than they are now but every club have their targets and most of their targets is geared towards how they can make some cool cash for the club so developing young players and selling them to bigger clubs is also one of Dortmunds pattern of football.

But I have used a browser on Android for this forum before, if you close the browse and you open it again or you power off your phone, you will see what you were typing, it will not clear away. But upgrade on the browser removed this feature.

Yeah it often depends on the kinda browser one is using as there some mobile browser like the Chrome browser, Opera browser and some others that when you accidentally use the backward keys while still typing but if you use the forward keys it will display what you're typing again so it basically depends on your browser.

 In a case of poor network or maybe your network becomes unavailable while typing, it is advisable to copy what you are typing before refreshing the page otherwise you will lose the whole content of what you're typing, and in a case whereby you are done typing and you hit the post button and the network goes of what you need do is keep refreshing the page rather than using the backward key as you may also lose the whole content of what you typed.

OP All of us are Nigerians and we know how people always want to see results before they will believe something and when we have seen other people meeting up on something that we were even adviced to do but you refuse now you start envying people that are making it.

This life itself is a risk and until someone take certain risk that will change his/her life, it will be difficult to achieve success. Some of us here plays gamble and loses huge amount of money yet we still move on and see it as fun, How much more investing on a project that has recorded huge success since it was introduced. What other evidence do we need to persuade us to keep buying bitcoins as against the upcoming halving, my people this risk is worth taking as I will keep on buying and Hodling bitcoin till the upcoming halving.
1079  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Playing your own role as a Bitcoiner on: November 22, 2023, 10:43:04 AM
Op your opinion is a welcome development but we shouldn't use because we also want others to be beneficiaries of this life changing experience and also endanger our life, then the society are doubting thomas as in is really hard to convince people about something except they've seen you make it through what you're trying to bring to their knowledge. Due to various scams and frauds that has been going on in the financial system of our society, it is really very difficult to convince people.

 A lot of people believes in practical example of what you're talking about like if they've seen huge successes in you as a result of the fact that you're a bitcoin investor then they can be convinced that they can also do well just like you.

 Now the problem with introducing people into something is that no matter how successful they get through what you introduced to them, if peradventure something goes wrong along the line they will point fingers at you that you were the one that got them into such mess as people you do good to can actually turn against you when things ain't going to well with them again and they will even forget that you both are in it together.

I think we should just do things our own way and achieve notable success that people will come to you to ask how you made it rather than walking to people and trying to convince them because if they meet you for help and you show them the way if anything goes wrong in the future, no one will blame you because they were actually the people that met you and not the other way round. It is unfortunate that we are living in a world were people sees our good deeds are bad when things start going wrong so we have to be extremely careful.
