Well, it it's not a requirement to become an outstanding poster in the Forum. You can choose to learn about Bitcoin independently from outside environment like from good books that are well prepared by prominent advocate of Bitcoin supporters from its early days, you can also learn from who want to learn a bitcoin website, every page from that website has been useful and you can also learn from credible place like Bitcoin.stackexchange to improve your knowledge from those questions and answers, they help a lot if you make use of these platforms.

However, the forum is important to relate and know how to post in a very effective way to communicate with other members, you can choose to learn from others but be selective because some people are influencial in a way that deviate true meaning of Bitcoin ways, we have plenty of them here.

Through a legal process, I think even next of Kin is not entitled to the money in account except when the real owner of the account already made an arrangement on payable on death, but in Nigeria, I have forgotten one document they called, it is used to process the money after the owner of the account has passed away, that's what they use to retrieve money in account without getting a lawyer or getting legal process involve but this of course may be different from other country but I'm making reference to Nigeria because I knew you are from Nigeria and if you need a video about the explanation, I will forward it for you.

Death has been my concern and I think this is also a concern for Bitcoin holder who held private key in close secret, it's the best thing to do but I just hope one don't passout with the private key to the grave while the family are on earth suffering to look for money to arrange for his burial.

In reality, you may found out that we are just Netizen who don't know what is happening in reality or perhaps maybe it's because everyome has become part of the internet that we don't give a damn about what is happening outside the internet. No way Elon and Mark will drag each other the way some people are speculating the whole thing, the influencers and the media are the ones fueling the everything. In the real sense, anyone can copy an idea if it's open to the public, Mark just happened to have money to create a similar idea from another perspectives, if it has been an ordinary person, Elon would have silent the creativity behind that app and lord knows how many talented develoers they have silent so far.

It will be a waste of resources if Elon decided to clone a similar app like Twitter, he would have done so in the first place before he acquire Twitter. He knows how important Twitter is to the world at large and that's why he bought  despite the hiccups that happened along the way, it's not a something to even think of right now as there are more debt to be paid off to settle Twitter payment.

Planning is of the essence but sometimes when I don't go to work, I stay indoors, and do the cooking as everything I need is at home. However, is this topic actually necessary, I thought the initial plan of a Bitcoin holder is to buy and hold and go out and enjoy life outside there, I can hold Bitcoin but that doesn't limit my budget on how I spend and how it affects my life style, I think when you begin to confine yourself as Bitcoin this, Bitcoin that, you may even find it difficult to enjoy the only one life we hard.

The question should have been straight up without adding Bitcoiner, I mean look at Microstrategy for example, as Bitcoin holder he still enjoy his life and share time with his family, have fund and of course spend money but it doesn't affect his Bitcoin position, it should have been budget on how to spend wisely and daily expenses as an individual or married person

This is subjective to individual country and I don't think my country is even ready for this discussion as most of the tightening policy is killing the mass literally, the increment of tax has also been a big burden to everyone and yet inflation has been a big discussion in the country which has affected every commodity you can found in the country, the services are not left out,  deflation is still far from here but perhaps the new government will find a way to make it work this time around but wait for a second, are you using same US that people are screaming on every day. 


Then was late 2020 and 2021 price surge a deceptive measure of Bitcoin price run, 2015/17 is run is entirely different from 20/21 and we expect a soon surge in 2023, I beg to differ though but perhaps you are using halving effect in play otherwise even if the SEC go BRRR, the market makers will do what they like in the end, they have always been the benefactors of the surge.

Anyone that buys and holds Bitcoin has more to say than what you see on the chart because you might have not been following what has been happening. In 2018, almost everyone gave up on Bitcoin as it crashed down below $4000, and 2020 had a similar iteration when the whole market sank in blood, but nobody will tell you that but it is nothing to fear about but that is just the pain you may go through sometimes, you have to develop a thick skin to be able to hold Bitcoin, so don't over joy on the success story of your friend, practically it is not easy to hold if there is price crash but it worth it though.


You are more than welcome, and you have also been on the forum and creating a thread is one of the families of Bitcoin, just try and show up here once in a while to discuss what you feel about Bitcoin, and moreover, there is nothing to regret of coming late, start from somewhere and the amount you can afford to lose to be on the safe side, I'm just saying respectfully as an old member to a beginner in the forum

Are you familiar with Bitcoin or are you just hearing it but have not interacted with it? I will assume the former. Bangladesh^[1] is doing anything to get dollar to meet up with the volume of petrol the people are using in the country and there has been instability with the rate of export and this is why the dollar has become scarce but that amount you invested for a period of 5 years is too poor, I'm not a rookie but if you have invested that money in Bitcoin for every month to now, you will have been proud of yourself but better late than never.

Lets forget the past tence and discuss the presence, you can use your savings to buy Bitcoin but I wouldn't advice you to use everything. Divide the amount into half and buy Bitcoin and keep the rest pending the till the end of the year, if there is decrease in price prior to that period, use the rest to buy Bitcoin and if it never comes down, still buy because no matter what, you will make some money out of it because halving is the leverage that will protect you from losses for short term profit.

I'm not sure exactly where I read about some vulnerability of Bitcoin ATM and how the owner was still Bitcoin without processing transactions but it was somehow related to Bitcoin ATM theft and when an investigation was carried out, something similar like this happened, and with time, the person that was indulging was caught, and for them to embark in this scrutiny, then there must have been increase in the number of unregistered ATM and perhaps, have genuine security tide up.

I hope you know that Bitcoin ATMs has a fiat option, the ability to convert between Fiat and Bitcoin and there is a limit attached to these machines that ones they are crossed, they are not just regular business machine, they need to be registered formally and recognized to avoid money laundering and other illegal activity, to me it is fine since there is nothing decentralized about it and also nothing to be hidden from the rest of the world with zero privacy, I don't see anything bad in cracking down unregistered machine if the law says so, they should adhere the host community rule.

I see these coins as a waste of resources and unnecessary effort in their business line, they mostly create coins because they want to segment their customers like VIP services which I can get elsewhere with an amount of Bitcoin in another casino. The setback sees in these casino base own tokens is lack of interest because only a few people buy them and they don't get many speculations like the way other altcoins do get hype from buyers, what are you going they going to scream and lie on Twitter about the promising coin when there are more than other 1000 coins available in the market they can buy and get profit, most often than the casino token don't usually have volumes to begin with.

What a sad journey for Mane to end up this way but I must say that Mane doesn't deserve what Bayern is doing to Mane, if they are looking for a scapegoat to use to acquire Kane, I believe there are more players to sell than mighty Mane but I think his past behavior that happened between him and Sane is still in play otherwise why are you going to buy a player worth $43M and then woke up one night and decide to have him sold for $17M just to raise funds to bring Kane at all cost, they shouldn't forget the fact that some players do well in an environment but changed and get worse when they resume the same position in another environment, I will be among people that will laugh them, seems they forgot how lucky they finished the Bundesliga with a point.

You have not been following what is happening in PSG camp, Mbape has just a season left with PSG but in other to continue he must extend his contract with PSG for another year to stay in the club or he should live right away; the problem is not that there are not buyers, there are plenty of them but the asking price is so high that it is out of their financial plans, only Real Madrid has such amount to spend and they are also looking on some options as well because I expect them to have learned from the mistake they learn from Hazard, there are still plenty of talented strikers in other clubs by the way, they fish out one just the same way PSG find put Mbape.

That's outrageous! Juventus is actually demanding a staggering $89 million for him, and personally, I find that price to be absurd. With just 10 goals and 2 assists, his performance seems mediocre at best in my opinion. If I were Pochettino and faced with such a hefty price tag from Juventus, I would prefer to ignore their offer and instead increase my bid for Osimhen, who has a market value of $120 million. But, we all know that Napoli is not willing to engage in such negotiations as their president has repeatedly stated that he is not available for sale.

I find it hard to understand why Chelsea is considering adding more midfielders to their team, especially how they fell for Enzo Fernandez's World Cup offer. Although Enzo is a talented player, I don't quite comprehend why they are now setting their sights on Moses Caicedo, who Brentford is asking for $100 million. It seems everyone is attempting to squeeze even more money out of Chelsea, taking advantage of the huge funds they have received from player sales. It's difficult to understand why a player like Caicedo, who was acquired for a mere $5 million between 2021 and 2023 and has only scored one goal, would warrant such a high price, hell no! 

Mixed feelings at work and probably the De Gea effect is still hurting some fans and that's why they are not happy otherwise as a fan of a club, I do defend my club even when they are wrong, I do it sometimes to avoid being bullied and it also fun to blindly argue when you know the truth but anyways we can't deny the fact that Erik has not done much in this market transfer, they ought to have seal many deals since the transfer window became open for every club to buy and sell.

I also think the guy above went overboard because not even an Arsenal fan will sit down and compared Manchester United perfomance with Arsenal just because they had a great come back for just a season after so many trials, I will be among to confidently say that Arsenal will not win this Champions League if they should advance to any place in the League, they don't stand the chance this season, they may repeat what happen to Barcelona last season on the Champions League to Europa and still got eliminated.

There is no specific age for any player to stop playing, look at Messi and Ronaldo that is considered the Goats we ever had in the history of football and they still fit, the conclusion is that as long as you are fit to protect your team from conceding and also helping them to score, they don't use age a factor and most often than not it is the players that use to retire from their club.

Since Saudi Arabia has been a dumping ground for old players from European teams, there is a high tendency that De Gea will also get a call from those clubs because it seems Rumelu Lukaku has already gotten an offer as well if the pay is good for De Gea, that man will move to that region to relax his life instead of these ungrateful Premier League clubs and their fans

It was funny when I read the part 'Interrogate' him, you asked him and he share his burden with you as a friend, though your friend made a big mistake by using money that is so important to his life for gambling. The reality of gambling is this, don't ever use money that is so important to you to wager any game, it doesn't worth it no matter the opportunity that you see in it, it doesn't end well, in short, there is no way you will enjoy gambling when you risk money you need very well because the more you try to relax not to think about it, there is this reoccurrence of reaction when you remember that your money is at stake, not a wise decision and I hope your friend learn his lesson.

If I'm to calculate my losses and profits in gambling, I will be among the lucky ones that I have earned a good amount of money from gambling and I'm happy to like it for fun and a way to kill time, especially in those boredom time, watching sport and realizing that your favorite is winning and your stake is going to win has a way it hit different, like that goosebump from spiderman, I can say no regret so far. 

Real Madrid would undoubtedly seize the opportunity to acquire Haaland if given the chance, but it appears unlikely that Haaland will leave Manchester City this season, and it seems he is not inclined to move to Spain in the near future. Furthermore, finding a quality striker is akin to capturing a live lion and introducing it to a new zoo. We are well aware of the challenges involved in securing a proficient forward, as the ones currently available are reluctant to part ways with those under existing contracts.


To be frank, Real Madrid has the financial means to acquire Mbappe and cover his substantial weekly wages. However, he has encountered hurdles right from the start, and the weight of guilt and karma continues to haunt him. Presently, his relationship with PSG is strained, and if there is a wealthy club that offers something enticing, he may be released from his obligations at PSG. I still hold the belief that Real Madrid will eventually secure his services if nobody comes towards the end of the transfer window, but certainly not at an exorbitant price as currently demanded.

I don't understand the context of rich mindset and been a rich person. I can chose to be a rich person and chose to spend less and people will see it as been stingy type of person or don't want to spend and see me as broke buy if it's the life I have chosen, nobody can define it for me because I own it and set the standard for myself.

 Let's put it in gambling context, the only thing that push people do things out of there limit is greed, it let them have unsatisfied mindset and gamble out of their limits, this is why they always go back to nothing. Gambling should be concise and fun, I can't imagine someone spending an entire 24 hours gambling and expect to make wealth from it, such people end up been addicted and play pity card to attract attention but believe me they always go back even they are save from such bad habits of fun.

I will take this as a mere rumors than making unfair judgements to the ex Manchester United goalkeeper, we all had time when things don't go..as expected but I think of all the time that was spent in Manchester United, this season wasn't the worse, he did his best and I believe if there is such lack of confidence in him to handle ball, that will be the first thing Erik Teng will get rid of when he took over as a manager last season but they continue with him till the end of his contract.

Take it or leave it, every players has there peak time with every club and I think David De Gea time was up, there was nothing personal about the club, a contract was signed and it was over as the club didn't wish for his service any longer, not a big deal in my opinion. There should be other teams that are in que position to get him among their pack, if he still in good use, he will be heard wherever he play.

Haaland don't have the same previlage and opportunity Mbape otherwise what he achieved the season would be celebrated but this is th first time Haaland is having his time in Mbape while Mbape is also struggling to live PSG to come have a taste of what it is to be a good player in either for Spain and for England. I'm Pary of the openium to allow him come to spain to see what is happening there, perhaps his decision will earn him the Champions League this time.

Cameroon is enjoying Mbape and making the media while his agent and PSG are looking to sell him because according to Romano Fabrizio announced that a letter was received by PSG tomorrow that he is not signing those papers to increase year with the France team, now the team has not choice than to reduce the price tag on them otherwise they will lose been a free agent without any money to the club.

Corruption is everywhere and football is not exempted from this activity. I also heard some that you will have to bend to their will by doing same sex with some of the officials, this could be made up and is also possible because you can only defend what you know. Hence, more of the reasons why you see good player hanging around area looking for another alternative and will be in their local league and you wonder what's happening, why are they not signing this good players.

Mbape was only a fraction because he is success, there are more of these victims but they cannot open up while some are scared. I'm very sure that if it were after winning the World Cup in 2018 and ask if they will allow him play with Cameroon team, they will receive him with an open arms but France loved him and take him in with open arms and today instead of them be celebrating the World Cup winner, they are running after his vehicle still looking for the same money to dash them.
