Honestly, I thought I was the only one who noticed that needless solicitation from OP on something very remote to them. It's not even something they're sure of. It's just a hearsay and OP ran with it. I can't fathom why they did it, knowing that the exchange is making efforts to get the issue resolved in the first place. Such  an unbridled display of uncharitable comment can ruin a business. We can't say because this is social media anyone can say whatever they feel like saying and get away with it without getting sued. I think it's about time online people  started getting sued for intentionally spreading lies in order to ruin others. I know it's going to be more difficult tracking people here to physical addresses unlike in Facebook and Twitter where it's already done.

You nailed it. Criminals don't like leaving trails. Whenever you find a trail it could simply mean that either someone in the gang fucked up or the criminal(s) just want to lead pursuers astray. In cryptos, it's the first case. The criminals get hold of those accounts by hacking or buying them and then do their deed. Why do you think old accounts are hacked or bought?

By "piped up" you meant scammed/wrecked? Anyway, the safest way to attend to airdrops is to dedicate a burner wallet for them. No one should use their main wallet for airdrops or any other social media tasks to avoid getting their funds wiped out if it goes awry because of malware or hacks. Anything can happen. Be guarded.

You should've been here around 2017–2018 to observe what volatility is. This day, it's almost like Bitcoin sleeps throughout. Those days you would check charts and be dismayed that Bitcoin had done over $5k in a day, either in loss or in gain. I know someone will say the market is ranging ATM that's why Bitcoin seems static. I don't speak for the moment, it's something I've observed over a period of time for a while now even before it got itself in this range.

The easiest thing that affects Bitcoin (or alts) volatility is news, nothing else. Any impactful news, whether positive or negative will effect direction immediately it's released. It doesn't matter where price was headed before. Bitcoin is more fundamental than technical analysis.

I want to believe that's a mistake. Right? Perhaps, you entering Xeovo there instead of zoogvpn seems to have misplaced others beneath on your list. You may want to crosscheck it.

Even with the conspicuous lack of clear information about the project and its airdrop, we still find those who will blindly participate in this fruitless chase. Greed is the major undoing of many. People want to reap where they didn't sow and that's how these projects get to find those who believe in whatever they're told.

It could've been bought. Don't rule out that possibility. Many projects look for already grown accounts and purchase them to run their newly created businesses. Sometimes they buy old accounts to make it look like they've been old in the business. It's all deceit and those who they hoodwink are in themselves greedy folks.

Whichever way you look at it, time and timing, though slightly two different concepts, are extremely important in trading. To time (timing) the market and to know what timeframe (time). Whether in FX trading, Cryptos, Stocks, Indices and all that, any trader who doesn't respect those two concepts in addition to the control of their emotions won't succeed at trading.

I like to swing trade and that makes me consider higher time-frames to check for trend, either for the day or on the long run before making any trades. Then I pick my trades from lower TFs. Waiting for candle close of whatever TF one picks for entry is very important. It's bad practice to trigger a trade in a haste without waiting for the candle close, no matter how enticing you think the entry has presented itself.

I commend you on that. Most newbies this day don't bother to read through the forum before making their own posts. It's either they just dive straight into asking questions whose answers are staring at them or they volunteer to teach the community what it already know 😆.

The best person who could've answered that question would've been the user who made that comment. However, living in that user's mindset, I want to believe they made that comment to show that it's not all roses with Bitcoin. That it has its down moment too like every other business. I agree with that. I see a lot of people getting carried away with Bitcoin and begin to think that their investment in Bitcoin should become an instant hit. They forget there are people who've suffered great losses investing in Bitcoin too.

Almost like how I got here too. I stumbled on a site during my curious search for what Bitcoin was and that directed me here. It was months later I got to know that site was CMC (Coinmarketcap.com). You're most welcome here and I do know you will find here very interesting if you sustain this same curiosity and put in the work.

Basically, this forum is like a town hall meeting that has its major focus on discussions centered around Bitcoin. There are rules and regulations that govern this "town hall" which must not be broken, otherwise there are consequences. I advise you read them as I can see some users before me have posted links.

Of all those listed I will favour "Research" as top and then closely followed by "Arrangements" and "Spelling". I'm easily captivated by page-turners, sentences well spiced. Nothing draws one's (I speak for myself here) attention better to a well written text than the flowery and well constructed structures embedded therein. However, despite how I love that to be; the article or posts made should be something constructive or well researched so that no one tries to spill a lie here. Nonetheless, I'm aware that there are posts which may not be that subtle but underneath them they've succinct messages and that could be because the posters aren't native speakers of English language. So, in all, I don't like criticizing people for not writing in seemingly good grammar especially when I see through their ingenuity. After all, English isn't the most spoken language in the world. Chinese is.

By the way, "Arrangements" should encompass Sentence and Spelling.

I'm happy OP survived the unintentional litmus test from Yahoo by returning fund mistakenly sent to an old address his account is associated with. I like the fact that he's back here, and trying to help out a sick and vulnerable uncle of his. These acts of theirs make me still believe there's good in humanity and I hope OP continues to stay true to it.

Such is expected. The only thing that would've made it different were if OP didn't immediately jump into posting to earn as soon as they returned from the hiatus. OP would've taken time to peruse the forum again to understand the changes that took place in their absence. I get confused myself every time I take a leave from Discord and Reddit for like six months. I begin to study them again. So, it's expected.

You aren't harsh if you've this mindset. I do too. Sometimes I think it's sheer laziness that makes them ask questions that are staring them in the fact right there. I believe anyone genuinely seeking knowledge will be voracious in reading and researching and when I don't find it in these newbies, I summarily conclude they just want to be here for the grab; so to say. Recently, we've seen a preponderance of "I'm a newbie" threads pop up here and there. They can lurk around, study and read comments in the forum and form answers to some of the questions they might have asked in a haste, without screaming they're here.

The part of Bitcoin being guaranteed return on investment is true but that will also depend on when the investor is buying or investing in it. Those who invested in Bitcoin in 2021 at its ATH of $68k+ will tell you otherwise because they're in severe loss at the moment. They've to wait till 2024 or so to recup their investment let alone profit from it. So, you see? It's not all roses for Bitcoin investment too. Just know the time and season before diving in.

On my part, to respond to your title topic, I see Bitcoin more of an asset than a payment option or any other stuff.

Aw! You're trying to whet my appetite on that one. You're arousing my curiosity further. You're so confident of this? If it's something you will want me to take a look at, is there any one you can recommend? Again, can it be run on mobile phone or simply a PC affair? I wouldn't mind to take a peep at it.

It simply points to one thing – casinos don't like those who play against them winning. Forget all the glitz and razzmatazz on media of those who win, I always believe it's staged. For all we know, those they parade as lucky winners could be their cronies and they launder cash through them by making them pretend they hit a jackpot.

I don't know if I'm just old–school or simply paranoiac as I haven't been able to bring myself to trust Al to do my trading for me. I like it the manual way of doing it myself. Honestly, I feel it's safer to trade and lose it myself to allowing Al trade for me. Als don't have emotions and any sense of judgment that can make them detect when things go awry, especially if a bug occurs in their codes. If there's ever a glitch, An Al is likely to revert and behave in negative to make one incur huge losses. With all the good stories I read about Als I'm still not moved yet to try it out.

Through a link supplied here, I read one of the most inspiring endeavours of a pioneer. Late Finney was truly a genius who lived out his time well before his demise. What moved me most was how he continued to write codes and all that even while sick suffering paralysis. Dude was genuinely passionate about programming and Bitcoin. I think people should read up this thread of his...

I guess every newbie who's interested in cryptocurrency will ask this same question out of perplexity. I asked too. A few months after I registered here (2017) I was alarmed when I saw the preponderance of ICO projects being registered on a daily. Those projects were rushing to the market like the industry would soon go out of business. Total listed cryptos when I registered here was around 750 from CMC data. Today, there are well over 10,000 listed coins and tokens according to data from Coingecko site.

If it weren't profitable being in this industry the numbers won't be on a steady increase. To answer your question – Yes, it's still profitable for new projects. It will even get more interesting when the bull rally starts after Bitcoin halving.

Igehhh is a big asset to the Nigerian local board and I believe he will do fantastically well being a merit source. I support him wholeheartedly to achieve that. The user is as jovial as he's meticulous and diligently committed to whatever tasks he sets his mind on. Theymos, kindly attend to this. "Owa" local board can do with that.

As funny as that sounds, it's the truth. There was a time I spent some hours in contemplation on that. Even a common thing as a 2FA or email verification when one logs in, the forum doesn't see any reason to implement any. I mean, that can further strengthen accounts security.

I won't be surprised if that's the mission statement of this forum. I've come to realize that theymos doesn't like anything that will stand as encumbrances to users here. He delays in implementing anything he knows will put a lot of users in discomfort, especially when such is called for by veteran users. I think having more users onboard makes much sense to him than policing harshly those already here.

Pikin wey dey travel every time go get better sense pass an elder wey siddon for one place.
Meaning: Wisdom isn't bestowed based on age but experience.

You forget sey some Nigerians wey dey dis forum fit dey abroad register and some wey even dey Naija fit use VPN register also?

Like sey some people reincarnated, ba?

Anyway, na true you talk chook there. Even till date sef some people still dey avoid gummy body with d rest of us unto make dem nor begin know dem as Naija peeps and those ones go don dey here tey tey.

I thought this issue don dey settled long time ago? Why resurrect it? Yes, English na owa official language but we sabi how flowery, peculiar and sweet wey pidgin dey be for mouth and na wetin make some of us then supported pidgin. I follow people wey sey make we use pidgin only but as majority voted sey both King's English and pidgin should go together, we settled for that. That supposed be bygone by now na. Abi e get something wey I dey miss here?
