1081  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What are the steps and Ways to Write post Gambling into a good Quality ? on: November 06, 2023, 06:45:52 PM
That's a challenge you have to decide that you must overcome. I believe that of you put in additional effort to follow up with the discussion in the gambling board, you will see some threads you can contribute something a bit reasonable although it might not be as reasonable as you would do if you are replying or creating a post in a board you are very much familiar with.  It's a challenge that I'm also facing but I just look for some thread I have some knowledge on and give my own contribution to the best I my knowledge.

There are times it might require me to search out for some information on the thread I intend responding to and I will just do it before making my reply.

For now I am not strong enough to start up a thread in the gambling board so I just stick to making replies pending when I will have anything reasonable to share with board.

1082  Other / Beginners & Help / Newbie, don't joke with these key fundamentals on: November 06, 2023, 05:49:22 PM
Whatever you do, if you joke with the basics of it, you will struggle getting things right in the long run. So I think it's necessary we look at some fundamental steps never to avoid as  we navigate and thrive through this forum.
1. the first, is to take your security very seriously . Of course you need to understand that securing your account should be one of your most important priority. Here are some links to guide you on how best to secure your account.
Securing your account.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5415461.msg61035839#msg61035839

2. Secondly, you need to know the different board and stick with the ones that suit you the most. 
Apart from this board (beginners and help), there are other boards that are specially created for specific kind of discussions ranging from the general discussion, economy, politics and society and also some others. The local board is where bitcoin discussions relating to your country is posted. Ensure you join your local board as it's mostly the most comfortable board that will help you blend into the forum easily. Also note that as a beginner with little or no experience in the forum, stick to boards that you can relate easily with what's happening there while you gradually check other boards and with time you can contribute in those boards.
3. Always abide by the rules and regulations in the forum . As simple as this sounds, this is one of the most important guide in the forum, always read the rules that guides you on how to create quality threads and replies that won't be Tagged as shit/spam post. remember that replies like, thank you, you are correct, you just spoke my mind and comments of these sort are regarded as spam so you try to avoid them as much as possible. You can decide that every contribution you will make in the forum won't be less than 4 lines. One of the most famous guide on how to do this is repeatedly posted in this board, you can still go through it. Newbie read before posting
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5279088.msg55287488#msg55287488 Make it a necessity to always reference the source of your information by sharing the link to the original post you're referencing and make sure you are not creating an already existing thread instead, contribute on the thread that is already in the forum
4. Grow your account as organic as possible 
 Ihis is also very important because if from this moment that you're just joining the forum you start making quality threads and replies, you are building a reputation that will speak for you later and of course when the need arises, you will receive some merit as a form of encouragement for you to do better.

 Try as much as you can never to copy writeup from blogs or worse of,  use chat gpt for your writups as a plagiarism test will be done on your thread and it might course you your account being banned if care is not taken
5. Avoid spamming peoples inbox for your own good and don't think you can beg for merit via someone's inbox and get one 
work hard on making your account stand out and with time you will do just fine.

6. Finally, make the search engine your closest friend as it will help you get answers to most of the question you might want to ask always search for stuff using the search engine before creating post of same kind.

Remember that this is not your regular social media so be as professional as possible.

1083  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Feeling more comfortable while integrating into the forum community on: November 06, 2023, 07:12:21 AM
Thanks a lot for this piece of advice. Sometimes we just get carried away with the whole merit stuff and that affects how organic our write-ups become to a very large extent. The originality in the content you post in the forum will gradually reduce when all you do is to chase after merits and will result in not contribute positively to the forum

It might even stop you from contributing to some threads you feel won't get you merited and even when you see a question you can offer a reasonable answer to because your mind has been fixed on the whole merit-chasing mentality, you won't see the need to air your view.

Within the few moments I have stayed in the forum, the merits I received were mostly a product of the organic postss and contributions I made out of my ideas, curiosity or contribution to an already created thread. I know that the urge to rank up as fast as possible is always there but I just like to follow things the way they come and I strongly believe that by moving just a step at the time, we will get to the top one day.

Kudos to the journey thus far!

Ideally, international wars have rules and regulations and what is happening between the Israelis and Palestinians is being monitored by international organizations. I doubt any nation at war would want to take part in using nuclear weapons for its war. During the Russia and Ukraine war when it was certain that rusia had a nuclear weapon, till the war has reduced to the extent it is now, they never used it because they understand that using the nuclear weapons at this time in the world is a strong recipe for a possible world war and that's not the part the world would want to experience again

The only issue I have with war crimes is how its investigations can be carried out void of political interests because even in this current isreali Palestinian war, there was a moment when war crime was committed when an health ambulance was reportedly short at coursing serious casualty both on the medical personnel and the patient in the ambulance and you are seeing derogatory statement suggesting that the ambulance is used by the opposition armies which is a clear display of politicizing a serious war crime.

For the safety part of clicking the the link sent to you by a stranger, the first thing I do when I receive such messages is to check up the account of the sender if it's hacked or not, and will also search for the test attached to the link online to ascertain if it is a common format that they've used repeatedly on unsuspecting victims. The funny thing about these guys that send all these links for hacking your account is that they are not organic with the words they use in convincing you to click the link and most times, they will just drop multiple messages to different DM and in different groups so those that can't control there sense of curiosity and the one that is looking for easy money platform will easily fall victim.

But if you want to do it the easy way, there are sites online that you can use to check if a link is safe or not. Example of those site include;

1. https://domain-reputation.whoisxmlapi.com/
2. https://www.criminalip.io/
3. https://www.urlvoid.com/
And others you can easily search up on so when you are not convince on the link you are sent to, you can check it up for it authenticity.
1087  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it safe to keep your money in bank? on: November 05, 2023, 09:06:02 PM
The bank has been the most popular place known for the saving of funds although it has its limitations both from the angle of the management and policies from the government that affect these financial institutions

The bank provides convenience to users and although it often experiences some sort of attack on a certain occasion, you can't deny the fact that they've played a great role in fostering ease in the transaction and most banks have set out modalities that ensure that the funds of there customers are safe and secure.
1088  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Your take on buying an expensive phone like iPhone 15 on: November 05, 2023, 07:00:02 PM
Apart from some few people that buy expensive phones just to feel among others, most persons you see with expensive iPhones use them mainly for business purposes.

Most content creators don't even bother to get a special camera for their video recording because their phones can perform even more functions than the camera.

Plus you know that buying an iPhone is an asset you can decide to sell out whenever you need urgent cash for something.

If your money is enough to get one, I don't think it's a bad thing.

1090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin help? on: November 05, 2023, 03:46:08 PM

Bitcoin offers unique opportunities for people who want to make a decent amount of money and I have the feeling that if these people start investing in Bitcoin, we will see a rapid decline in global poverty.  What do you think?
As much as I believe that investing in Bitcoin is a right step in the right direction, I still think we shouldn't hype it that much so someone doesn't misunderstand the whole thing and invest all his funds in it with the hope of getting huge return within a twinkle I am eye.

Bitcoin isn't a get-rich-quick scheme and if you can't start up a main hustle while you invest in a fraction of your reserved funds into Bitcoin and you want to focus all your life hoping that the price of bitcoin will go high and live all your life with that hope, you might get frustrated.

The best way to invest in bitcoin is to dedicate a particular amount and buy a reasonable amount of bitcoin with it, hodl it and continue with your normal hustle so that way you don't get easily moved by any fluctuation of any sort.
1091  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Financial stability on: November 05, 2023, 03:30:55 PM
In this present age and time, the most important thing is to be stable in finance.
After God and your health, the most important thing to be concerned and intentional about should be to work on your financial stability, It will save you from a whole bunch of problems. When you become a bit financially stable, you will discover that you've solved a reasonable amount of your problems and that all the major problems you attributed to external factors like relationships family sentiment lack of friends, not being noticed in public, and whatever minor thing you've taken as your problem has been solved.

As some comedians will say, if you don't have money, whatever you saying isn't correct.

1092  Economy / Economics / Re: Does Using a Credit Card Demonstrate Financial Literacy? on: November 05, 2023, 03:18:25 PM
Discipline! Discipline! Disciple! Is the number one factor here.
I know, that not using credit cards limits how frequently we make unnecessary transactions and somehow that plays a good role in increasing our saving habits but that shouldn't close the fact that it is more convenient to make transactions via your credit card and because the world has seriously evolved past the stage of going out with huge physical cash as there is a high chance of theft or chances that the money can get missing, the credit card becomes a necessity for all.

If you are disciplined enough you will be able control how frequent you make transactions using your debit card.

You can also decide to open an account for savings without collecting a debit card and have another which is for spending. Then you deposit a budgeted amount you wish to spend for the month into the account and you try not to spend more than that amount every month and that way you will be guided on how much you are to spend on a regular bases.
1093  Economy / Economics / Re: Young people needs productive mindset to be happy in life on: November 05, 2023, 07:40:35 AM
While I feel that the title of your thread hasn't done the required justice to the content of your thread, I think the main reason why we have lots of graduates lately who are unemployed or even find themselves practicing in a different field is attributed to the faulty educational system they went through. In a situation where you spent a minimum of four years studying a course that is not properly thought out and is focused more on theoretical concepts that are outdated, what do you expect of the students? And most these student don't even like the courses they are pursuing and don't even see themselves practicing it in the nearest future, once they leave the schooling environment, they shift there attention into something that will give them more financial benefit. Even most of the ones that put in additional effort to make sure they learn the course and gain the needed knowledge are not employed after graduation.

It becomes very obvious that success only awaits the person that is dedicated to his self development and that is making conscious effort to grow and become very relevant in a particular field.
1094  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Mining possibility in Nigeria on: November 05, 2023, 06:27:08 AM

Fortunately, there is a part of Nigeria where electricity is constant and free of charge, meaning people don't pay for electricity as it is supplied free of charge by the oil companies. I'm referring to Ogba/Egbama/Ndoni local government area that share boundaries with Imo State, Bayelsa State and Delta State. This is a part of Nigeria rich in oil and gas deposit and playing host to multinational oil giants like Shell, Total Energies, Agip and Adax. These companies built gas turbines that supplies electricity to their host communities as part of their cooperate social responsibilities.
I have stayed in obigbo, precisely afam where the popular afam power plant is located in rivers state and I can tell you that till date they have 24-hour power supply without paying a single dime as any sort of bills and just as you pointed out, this is because they are the host community to the power plant company. If the resource to establishing a mining company is available, I think that would have been a great location to consider since the price of electricity won't be a variable to be considered anymore.

Although I have thought about the feasibility of mining Bitcoin in that environment, I have not made any practical research regarding other factors that is needed to bring this to reality. And also considering the whole banning wahala from the side of the government, I don't know if it won't be seen as illegal if the government discover that there is a bitcoin mining farm in her country.
1095  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is the devaluation of naira really the problem on: November 05, 2023, 06:03:34 AM
Will the increase of the value of naira makes the country ore stable or except this problem is solved our will continue to devaluate?
if you observe well, once fuel price increase for the market, e de directly affect other goods immediately. The transportation people go first increase there price And then market people go join and before you know everything don top price. We know say the difference between dollar and naira done de too big and e seriously de affect goods when we de bring come from the outside country but if we really wan de truthful to ourselves we go know say apart from petroleum product when in the real sense na we de export am, we no really de import small small items when d average man de use that much from outside we country. Wetin de even vex me na the way local producers de make things expensive for the country but when de carry the same goods comot from this country them go reduce price for those people. Our problem just plenty and most of them na we de take bring am on ourselves.

We no even get much of this local companies, even the ones when de in existence done already turn the business to a monopolistic one and e de very difficult for small startup to enter into business so when these monopolistic companies decide to increase price, we no get choice that much than to just flow along with them.

I believe say no be to just focus on the problems we de face be the main thing na how to take solve am na him we suppose de reason.

Personally I think say if we put more effort into producing more of our local goods by ourselves, we no go too de depend on good from outside country and this also go reduce the price of goods for the country.
Enough emphasis too need to be placed for the agricultural sector so we fit produce more food know say na other things wey we no fit produce we go de import.

Our schools also need to change the kind of things dem de put for there curriculum. E go make sense Make we really identify wetin be our problem and make sure say we train the younger ones on how to take tackle this problem, you go see say we go begin experience serious positive change for we country

E de pain me to know say we de import things when we get the ability to produce on a very serious note. I know wan de reason go the part when we de export crude come de import petrol.

Have you noticed that the more you search on a particular kind of topic on your YouTube, Facebook, or google, the more you see more of those related topics? There is how much you will search on cryptocurrency-related topics on YouTube that all the recommended videos that will come when you navigate through YouTube will just focus on cryptocurrencies. For others who might have other interests like music, if you use their phone to access YouTube, you will find out that most of the content you will see will be music-related.

I know this is designed and programmed by the developers of those sites but it tells a lot about what goes on in our lives. If you surround yourself with positive thoughts or ideas, more positive thoughts will continue coming in and with time you will dispel every form of negative thought.

If you focus on thinking out solutions to life challenges rather than sitting back to complain and creating excuses, more solutions and ideas will fill your head and with time all the thoughts regarding the challenge that would have weighed you down will gradually become a thing of the past

1099  Economy / Gambling / Re: ⚽️ SPORTBETTING ADVICE ⚽️ on: November 04, 2023, 08:48:25 PM
Last update 12th OCT 2023
Updated number 2 & 3.


This is my best tips and if you wanna start gamble on sportbetting. I am no a professional gambler, but I am good enough to not lose money on sportbetting and that's good enough for me.  Smiley

1. Always do some kind of research about the game and teams you gonna bet on.
Is some important player injured? Is a team good or bad home/away? Does a team have extra hard against a specific team?

2. Don't be so greedy, settle down with low odds but not to low (read 3), no need to add a lot of games to increase the odds, make research about 1-2 games and settle down with that, place a bet and if the bet turn out into winning, do it all over again with the winnings, it will be higher chance to be a winner long term this way instead of example only place bet with example 10odd - 15odd or more in odds.
I would rather place a bet on a single game with 3 in odd with research then place a bet on four favorite's in a paralay without research.

3. Single bet or double is the way to go, sometimes a triple. But not more as paralay. It's always at least one favorite team that won't win that day and normally when we "guess" we often has wrong at least once.
(I would never go under 1.65x in odds for a single-bet, If I play a double each game can be like 1.50 odd or more, if you think a team will win big, go with for example -1.5 to increase the odds.
In the end don't place a bet because of the odds, play it because of your own research.

4. If you have hard to pick a winner in a game, even tho you made a good research don't be afraid to go and play over/under goals for the game instead, and check that out.
If it's two teams that normally do a lot of goals and the odds allow you go for over 2.5 or even 3.5... or if it two tight teams, you can go for under 2.5. (over/under 2.5 is the normal number to look after)

5. Understand the difference between home and away advance in the odds. a team that would have 1.20 odd or 1.30 odd home against the same team they play away, but away they got like 1.60 odd-1.70 odd
Can be a good bet! But don't need to be. Still research is the way to go. But it's a got hint.

6. Have patience, for example: if you place a bet 20:00 a evening and it all games is done around 00:00 and you winning, don't be greedy and place your earnings on some live game asap you don't have any information about, wait to the next day, make your research again and then place the next bet.

7. Try to "play for free" as much as possible. Example: if you make a bet and put $20 on it and you win and you win up to example $50. Then I would still continue for another round, if that also turns out as winning and I then  got $100-$150. I will cash out a part of the money and then continue, then the pressure is gone and if you lose it wont hurt as much.

8. Set up a budget, never play with money you can't afford. and when you go into gambling, always go into it with the mentality that the money is gone, then it won't hurt you if you lose and  when you lose, because we all are losing time to time, but we just need to win enough to cover the losses.

9. Sportbetting is something that should be fun and a hobby, not something that is stressful or not fun, if it turns out to stressful for you, it's better to stop and take a break.

10. Only gamble if you can afford to gamble! Gambling is not a solution to solve any economic problems, its something that should give you enjoy and be fun.

11. In the end, always make a decision that is made by you and not any other person. You can of course listen to other ideas and read other's tips, but don't take it for granted.
Your own research is always the best! Then you only have yourself to blame or praise!  Cool

12. Never bet with emotions! Try to place bet on your favourite teams as less as possible.

13. Have fun! If you don't have fun. STOP!

Now this maybe sound confusing, but it's much easier then you think, I been in the sportbetting business for many years.
Farm your way up, start low and safe as I said. Bet $20 and try to make it to $100-$150 in two different bets instead of try to make $20 to $150 in a single bet, it's to risky and much harder then the other way that you research a game and bet $20 and settle down with a 2x-3x odds I would prefer a double and then do it again, and that $20 will turn into $150 in a much easier way.
Then it's up to you how high you want to go and how much you want to spend on each bet, but this amounts is normally what I use. I normally make a cash out when I reach over $100 and then I try to go high with the remaining balance.


- This is what works for me and this is just my opinions.
- Sorry for bad English or bad writing or repeating.
- This thread can come and be edited time to time and people can feel free to share their own advices also.
- If you have any questions you can reply in the thread or PM me.


Good luck out there!



This is my own additional advice

1. Specialize on leagues and teams you you are used to: for me, If I'm doing soccer betting, I like to focus on teams I'm a bit familiar with there strength and pattern of play than relying more on research that might not give me the right view on a teams strength at the moment.

2. Don't get emotional while betting. There are some persons that get emotional when it comes to betting against a club they are supporting. Bet based on your research and on the current strength of the teams involved
1100  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is horse racing so unpopular here and a bit of extra feedback on: November 04, 2023, 08:34:01 PM
Well, I guess it's more of what is popular in your locality and what kind of game interests you that you can make a thread on or positively air your inputs in. Soccer and gained ground in almost all  of the world and it's difficult to see a gambler that hadn't been involved in soccer reduction and gambling so it's easy to see lots of threads regarding it and it kind.

For the horse racing, I haven't really thought of it that much but I guess I should give it a try.
