India's population to overtake China, with 2.9 mln more people by mid-2023, UN estimates




It is not nice that my country which has high level of unemployment in the country and high inflation rate and bad leadership is still having population growth day in day out. There should be some law to restrict countries who cannot take care of her citizens from increasing in their population. There should be some kind of sensitization to the rural dwellers that they don't need to be making babies that they cannot take care of and this falls in the hand of the government to implement.
Countries who provides for their citizens hardly appear in this list, yet countries that are not much organised are here with population increase.
1102  Economy / Economics / Re: Look for what to invest, not what to eat on: April 20, 2023, 10:19:42 PM
I don't know why some people in this platform are looking for what to eat at the moment, not know that they can invest in a potential projects that will put food on their table, and they will not lack what to eat and what to spend in future. I saw some message in the Bitcointalk.org where some users are trying to sell their account just to get what to eat not knowing that they can use that account to work to get a huge capital that will bring them out from poverty, and make food surplus in their home. I knew some senior members in this forum that started using member rank to work before they get to legendary to spread many investments around the country, because they didn't look for what to eat at the moment than to work hard to used their opportunities to invested in BTC before they became who they are today.
Will you invest now or you will be like that person that is looking for what to eat? It will be favourable if you can change that attitude of selling what will make you great in future just because of what will survive you at the moment. No way you will invest in BTC today and you will not have something good to eat because, investment is like a seed planted in a due season to expect something good in the future. Is it a good thing to invest or is good to continue looking for what to eat?
What do you think.
People that are selling their account are not doing it because they are hungry, or they are looking for something to eat. It could be because they have more than one account. So they need to sell the other one when they can no longer maintain it. Also, people that build their account from member to Legendary, can you tell me how building their account have made them to invest so much in bitcoin and became rich. One does not need to own an account in this forum before they begin to invest in cryptocurrency and Bitcoin.

So there is no true connection, in the write up concerning account selling. What I know is that selling of account is allowed in this forum but discouraged.

The second thing is that a lot of your posts are in Bitcoin Discussion, where everybody's brain cells go to die.  I did not check to see how many pages the threads in which you made your posts had, but that section is one of the ones that has a lot of spam megathreads--or at least it used to; I don't know if that's still true, but it's always been hard to earn merit there.
I like to post in BTC discussion, especially on the new topics that are good and that are actually about BTC. The problem with BTC discussion board is that members start too many unnecessary topics there, so many of them are not even actually about BTC, and many of them are lies about what they did to aid BTC adoption, these new unnecessary topics dominate the board and push many of the topics that are actually about BTC down and away from where merit sources can see and merit the users who participated in the discussion. There is a lot of good posts being made in the BTC discussion board, but many of them are unmerited.

If you see a really good post and feel it deserves merit, post it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5093271.0 . Loyce is the nicest most helpful guy you could meet here, but make sure the posts truly deserve merit, otherwise you’ll be ignored going forward if you ask him to merit just a typical nothing special post (basically begging for merits is what this means).
Saying about LoyceV being the nicest person to hand out merits could have been doubtful to me but I remembered way back when I needed about 14 merits to rank up to full member. LoyceV located me randomly and handed the 14 merits to me and that was the first and last time I go such a surprise if I am not mistaking.
I have benefit twice from Ratimov ranking up thread. Although I have never visited LoyceV report unmerited posts thread.
What I understand about merits is that you will work for it and chase it.
Even if you keep making quality posts without calling the attention of the merits sources to your quality posts, they will go unmerited.
1104  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where can I buy bitcoin as a newbie? on: April 19, 2023, 05:45:56 PM

I suggest newbies to visit bitcoin.com and buy any cryptocurrency.
www.bitcoin.com
There are so much controversies surrounding your post. Among all the inconsistencies the one that caught my memory and didn't allow me to ignore is that bitcoin.com is the best place to buy bitcoin. Please where did you get this information?
How where you able to teach someone about bitcoin and cryptocurrency for 3 weeks and yet you haven't taught the person where to buy bitcoin.
The messages are  not connected please,  next time make it more connected and believeable even if it is not.
1105  Economy / Economics / Re: How is the cost of living in your country? on: April 19, 2023, 02:40:01 PM
The cost of living that I feel is increasing, currently I live by renting a room in a city close to where I work, I rent a small room for about $ 55 per month, the condition of the room is vacant or unfurnished, a month's food costs and other living expenses around $230 so my total cost of living is around $300 per month.
The cost of living is now very high in every part of the world. This expense has reached even higher levels as a result of the war in Russia and Ukraine over the year. In such a situation, no one can say that their living expenses are low. But since it depends on the location, its cost level will vary from place to place. Where I used to spend $170 to rent a flat now I spend around $240 and other groceries have rise up accordingly. All in all I need at least $500-600 in my area.
Since the war in Russia, Ukraine and the global pandemic of Covid-19, almost all countries in the world have experienced inflation. Due to which the cost of living has increased in most countries of the world.  And even though the prices of goods have increased at a massive rate, neither the employment nor the income of the people has increased much.  Due to which it has become very difficult for everyone to live a good life. and now in every country an individual needs at least $150-$250 monthly to live

Immediately after covid-19, many things changed in different countries. This starts from the way of living, the way doing business and the general way of life.
The inflation rate which started before the covid-19 was escalated by the covid-19. Now the price of living has tripled in most countries and there is not corresponding increase in salary and interest rate.
The cost of living would only be accurately determined by the minimum wage. A country whose monthly minimum wage is below $50 must surely suffer the adverse effect of inflation.
It's time people will begun to relocate to places where the cost of living is not high.
1106  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Resource Control in Africa on: April 19, 2023, 12:58:35 PM
Struggle over normal assets has made Africa the focal point of worldwide consideration, especially during the last 10 years. From oil in Nigeria and precious stones in the DRC, to land in Zimbabwe and water in the Horn of Africa, the governmental issues encompassing possession, the execution, and control of regular assets has disturbed networks and expanded outer mediation in these nations. Such struggle can possibly influence regular asset supply universally, with both nearby and far-reaching consequences.

Africa is believed to be one of the most populated continents of the world and also enriched with the abundance of natural resources, life has it own way for those who had been living in the region, especially the west African part which constitute th combination of both the white and blacks while the other parts of Africa is mostly populated by blacks, but the challenges i see in Africa is the inability to make use of the resources into a finished product, they lack the infrastructural development to process most of these resources and many where left or rendered inefficient to waste.
The inability of African countries and also my country Nigeria to use their natural resources and transform them into finished goods is one big problem for them.
They produce cocoa in large quantity but they don't produce bounvita in large quantity if they atol produce and they have been made to believe that it is good life to live .
Their political leaders are selling them out and using the returns of the raw materials for their personal development instead of public development.
1107  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is politics supposed to be for the old ones? on: April 19, 2023, 09:10:13 AM
Politics is supposed to be the mixture of both the old and the young in order to make a fair and reasonable policy for the economy.
The younger ones are supposed to be at the helms of the affairs. While the older ones are supposed to be the advisers who will always call the younger ones to order whenever they derail.
This will create a balance because the older ones are experienced and they will make laws that will guide and protect the right of the old people. While the younger ones who are more civilized and digitalized, will make laws that will enhance the progress of the economy in the present technological era.

But when the older ones are at the helms of affairs, then the younger ones become adviserd, you know that something is seriously wrong.
1108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 18, 2023, 11:06:31 PM
I will say in all the top known clubs in EpL, Chelsea is the most unlucky in this. With a poor result in the last match in EPL, they're still losing woefully in the champion league which seems to be their last hope. Chelsea is now brought low to the stage of not being able to score a single goal against Real Madrid. Chelsea has failed to prove themselves as the defending champions of the title.  With what I'm seeing, I'm doubting that they will recover by next season
Chelsea is not just unlucky. Chelsea hasn't done things well let alone to be unlucky. Even under the coaching of Tuchel, Chelsea was struggling and not stable. They managed to escape Tuchel and met with Graham Potter. They also suffered under Potter, but due to some experiences of Potter he wins at some times and also losses because of Chelsea performance.
When Todd was eventually convinced to sack Potter, he sacked Potter but Lampard is not doing anything different. So Chelsea shouldn't say they were unlucky. Their position now is the result of their work and not luck. The people we can say are unlucky is the Liverpool.

Napoli didn't fight

I didn't understand what exactly Napoli did today. I choose to watch Napoli vs Ac Milan over Real Madrid because I believed the battle between Napoli vs Ac Milan would be more fierced but I was rather disappointed when Napoli played what I would call an uncoordinated football.
From the 1st minute to the 90th minute, Napoli players refused to connect their key player and their striker Victor Osimhen throughout the match.
It was towards the end of the match, after 90 minutes that the selfish players began to send the ball into the box towards Osimhen. And also the coach of Napoli didn't make any efforts to call his boys to order and that has caused him the champions league, having paraded one of the most inform clubs in the Champions League.

Someone that you don't know in person, and no one recommended the person for you and you just met the person online. It is safe to assume he's a scammer.
Once in conversation with as scammer and they introduced an investment opportunity to you. They would always want to put you under duress, such that you will not have time to communicate with any other person.
They do this by giving you a limited amount of time for the business to be done. And that is a very genuine sign to know that the person is a scammer.
According to Lovesmayfamilis, there is no free thing anywhere.
1111  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: FIVE TIPS EVERY BEGINNER SHOULD KNOW BEFORE INVESTING IN BITCOIN. on: April 18, 2023, 06:30:59 PM

You are just a few weeks old in the forum, and you are creating a thread to lecture in the forum. You might be more knowledgeable than most of us but it might not be ideal, to begin with, a lecture thread. 

I don’t appreciate it when newbies create threads to lecture people about how to gain merits or avoid plagiarism topics, in my experience most of those accounts that act this way are alts. And I don’t believe forum rank signifies  someone is a newbie in crypto, it only indicates that the person is new to the forum. OP did well to reference the original article, but the topic has been discussed so many times before.

OP I know you mean well, but use the search engine next time to avoid rehashing old discussions.

I am always surprised when new accounts surface and start teaching everyone about how to invest in bitcoin or something similar.
I mean do they actually think that this forum that has lasted for over 10yrs, nobody had actually taught or written about what they came up with?
Some good old users I think are tired of these acts and I see them complain most times.
Anyways, this is a free forum and anyone is free to do anything in as much as they are not breaking the rules.

Arsenal have let a 0-2 lead slip at the moment. It is 2-2 and a lot can happen, but I think Arsenal will suffer another loss of points. So you see that there has been a lot of pressure on Arsenal and that they have suffered unnecessary loss of points in the last few games. But they can still win the game, of course. But for City this would be the perfect opportunity to reduce the difference with Arsenal to 1 point in this way. Saka will sleep very bad to late if the game will end in 2-2.
It is official that Arsenal has lost two points today and they are very much under pressure from Manchester City who is 4 points behind them. Manchester City has one outstanding match which I am very sure they would win, that is to say that technically Manchester City is just one point behind Arsenal and while you check at the goal difference, Manchester City has more goals than Arsenal. This is very critical matter, but as an English football fan, I would want Arsenal to win the title for fairness.
They need to keep up, it is too late to give up.
1113  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Recommend me altcoin to DCA till halving on: April 16, 2023, 02:50:56 PM
Which altcoin can you recommend for me to start DCAing till  halving when the bull run is expected.
I am afraid , that before bull run such coin might have problems. I don't want coins above $100, so that it will be possible to run on good profits if the investment works.
Halving is an event associated with Bitcoin, and therefore if you want to invest in altcoins, linking it to an event related to Bitcoin is wrong, if it is, then invest in Bitcoin.

It is because bitcoin is the market mover and whatever things that happens to bitcoin affects altcoins. If bitcoin halving will truly lead to bull run, altcoins won't be exempted in the market growth.
If I want to day trade in altcoins what I use to study the marker is bitcoin chart and it works for me.

DCA in altcoins? It's not investing, it's gambling, especially if we're talking about relatively young assets. My opinion is that DCA in cryptocurrencies can only be safely applied to bitcoin. Altcoins have no bottom, so all these attempts to average your positions can only worsen your position. Given the fleeting life of altcoin trends, you can forever be left with candy wrappers instead of money.
I know that DCA is for bitcoin but I want to try the gambling but it seems that everyone is not in support of the move.
1114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Recommend me altcoin to DCA till halving on: April 15, 2023, 11:53:45 PM
I am aware that DCA is better in a coin you know will last somehow long depending on how long you have to DCA.
DCA is the only means that is easy for me to buy coins. Which altcoin can you recommend for me to start DCAing till  halving when the bull run is expected.
I am afraid , that before bull run such coin might have problems. I don't want coins above $100, so that it will be possible to run on good profits if the investment works.
1115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is your favorites altcoins these days? on: April 15, 2023, 11:48:08 PM
Mine was BNB, ETH, RNDR, ARB. What about you guys? What do you keep following or watching these days? and why?

I don't actually follow or invest in altcoins but I understand that there's nothing bad in altcoins. It is just like taking some risks because if one altcoin performs very well in the market it can make one rich.
I am about to start monitoring which project to follow against the upcoming bull run.
If you have good altcoins recommend foe me.
1116  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is money ruling the world? on: April 15, 2023, 11:33:56 PM

Are there still monks existing...

Well, monk do not existed naturally, it is invented by a bunch of stubborn cults, I do not know monk would go extinct, but they would eventually make a come back since we create monk in the first place, if monk culture is destroyed we can rebuild the monk again, btw monk have always be very hostile toward any government initiative, and never bend over to any government demand.

Quote
The last monk  I saw here in the forum was a digital monk asking for donations  Grin Even the monk needs money.

That is a very disturbing but it is truth. Everybody has to eventually accept digital economy in the last twenty years, monks too have to step up themselves to the digital economy reformation, we would see if the monk would survive for the next decades, it is either the government or the monk, the battle never end.

It is making sense. First we acknowledged that there's naturally nothing like monk. It is a lifestyle initiated by man. So it is still same man that will refine it to either become digital or go into extinction.

Answering Op why money is ruling the world. It is because everyone needs money and it is therefore in high demand and it also solves problems and finally it is in the hand of the government who allocates it and monitor how it should be used. When it shorts in their hands, they will print more of it and life will continue.
1117  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Overview Of Bitcointalk Contests. on: April 15, 2023, 12:05:37 PM
First, move this thread to service discussion board.

Second, add direct link to each contest, not only about the title because if you add the direct link, anyone who want to participate can easily click it.

Third, you need to add the contest posted in Games and rounds board too because it's still about contest and for Bitcointalk users.

Fourth, I suggest to remove the contest which already paused or closed in the list, why we need to know if the contest is paused or closed?

It is good to include the contest in the games and rounds as you mentioned .
It is OK to include any contests that is paused because an interested user will have an eyes on it to see when it will resume again.
I think you are right for them to remove contests that are ended or closed. Because if they have to include closed contests, it means they will trace back to when the forum started.
1118  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: April 13, 2023, 08:49:49 PM
Right now my focus is still on Manchester United's match against Sevilla and for other matches I monitor the live score. But it's quite interesting to see the game between Leverkusen and Union Saint.
Union Saint actually stole my attention this time. they are definitely not a favorite club but before that they pulled off a surprise and now facing the bundesliga side they are already 1 goal ahead for their away match. Even though this is still not a complete victory because the match is still going on but it looks like if they qualify for the next phase again it will be interesting for Union Saint.
Man United looks like a really big favourite to win the Europa League. Today game was really impressive from them. I'm glad to see such a big team in form.
Manchester United is no more serious after they scored the two goals in the first half. They thought that there is no more competition and the guys relaxed and unfortunately for the coach of Manchester United already removed his star players and now Manchester United is into a very tight corner where their defender Malecis successfully aided their opponent to score a goal which is now a boast and there is still time for Sevilla to come back which means there will be problem for Manchester United in the return leg. Again, Manchester United super defender Martinez is injured.
1119  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is money ruling the world? on: April 13, 2023, 08:33:02 PM
That is depending on you willing to be a monk, no kid, no wife, no house, no govt id, no job, no car, own nothing but owe everything, then you would not need money, and you would discover a new world that is not ruled by money, in fact when you are being a sole breadwinner to the family, making money is your only life goal left, you would earn all the money as a breadwinner but you would eventually surrender all your income to the family.

Are there still monks existing who do not care for money or family?
The last monk  I saw here in the forum was a digital monk asking for donations  Grin Even the monk needs money.
Money is rulling the world. If not money know that it is power that is rulling the world. Both money and power belongs to the government and they are highly centralized and manipulated and that is why money is ruling the world.

kindly requesting remove my account ban

If you lose hope, you lose everything.
Thank you

5yrs is a very big number of years. When the account was banned back in 2018, didn't you create a ban appeal then? If you created, won't it be nice you bump the topic so that the moderators would have points to base their judgement.
You would not be unbanned based how long you have been banned or based on sympathy.
You must be able to convince the moderators by compelling how you have helped the forum in the pass.
I saw you offered services, how diligent were you.
For the sake of your services can you accept signature ban only?
I wish you good luck
