I'm likewise as curious as you on the essence of this thread, because if any member's account got banned and eventually got unbanned, then the account owner will then see by him or herself if the smerits in the account is still there or not, unless perhaps if their alt account got banned or they're just inquisitive to know what happens to smerits after unban. I've never thought of this question before and I'm glad that I now know the answer, although I won't like to have the experience.

It's ok if anybody wants to join in a test, but they should understand that any new projects is a potential risk and in the end it still comes down to gambling, because when they invest their money in a scam project, it won't matter if they test or not, their investment capital will eventually vanish with the project. It's important to research and try to understand the team behind a project, to reduce the chances of being involved in a scam, rather focusing on airdrops and any unrealistic promises that they can tell potential investors.

This is really bad and it's the reason why new investors that comes into the crypto market and stumbles on these scam exchanges and projects will label the entire crypto space as scam. I wonder why scam exchanges like Hitbtc, are still in business after it's been proven over the years that they're not a reputable exchange, your experience and the OP present predicament says a lot about them. I hope he gets justice and recover his coins.

The lesson here is that we need to verify the reputation of exchanges before using their services, and research new projects before deciding to invest in any, because frankly it's not everybody that has the patience to read every details of terms and conditions.

Precisely, you can't go on hodling your Bitcoin indefinitely, there has to come a time when you'll want to sale, that's the idea behind investing our money on something valuable. What happens in Bitcoin circle is just basic economics, when price is high, investors will want to sale to get their ROI, as more investors are selling because of the increase in price, supply will become greater than demand and price will start to dump, it happens vice versa. So in essence it's supply and demand that dictates the price of Bitcoin and how investors react to buying and selling.

Your talk na GBAM! exchanges no be where person suppose to de hodle im coin, because as di name imply, na place to go and exchange your coin, either to anoda coin or fiat. Every active member inside this forum suppose know di phrase wey say if e no be your keys e no be your coins, so after you finish your exchange matter, na to jeje move your coin enter inside your none custodial wallet.

I know say as Binance de get issues with our government, scammers don enter dem coven to de device new means to take scam ignorant people, so e good say make we de informed and guard ourselves against dem manipulations.

The usage of usdt will continue to rise because of it's importance in crypto conversions, instead of holding your Bitcoin during price dips or converting it to fiat, it'll be better if it's in a stablecoin, when price starts to pump again, the investor will easily convert to Bitcoin again, so I agree that after bull run that usdt can reach a new height. Besides in countries where their currencies are devaluing, crypto intelligent people will convert their fiat into a stablecoin like usdt, which will make economic sense, because they'll not be affected by their county's inflation. Usdt has many potentials to keep increasing.

Racism and manipulations will be dominant in underdog leagues, like you said, because they've probably got nothing much to loose, no big company endorsements that'll pull out if the leagues don't perform to standard expectations. Big leagues and top boxing matches, like the upcoming Joshua versus Nganou, will hardly give biased officiating because they have so much to loose if they stoop too low in expected standards from them, they'll lose endorsements and fans. Although no matter the standard of the leagues, you can't totally rule out prejudice, there must be personal preferences, but if the officials and athletes are true professional, then personal feelings will not count.

Because of the uncertainties that sorounds crypto trading, where a trader can make profit now and lose everything in the same day, I think that traders should not be too greedy, when they make a reasonable profit, they can call it a day and take the profit. Trading is hard, because of the risks of loses, so it's not for everybody in the crypto space, it requires learning analysis, so when a trader beats the odds and profits, it's good to enjoy it, before it can disappear. Unlike investments where investors without adequate knowledge can hodle on a long term and sale with profit in bull run, without stress.

I don't live in the US, and I stand to be corrected, because according to the news that I heard today, president Biden, lost in a Samoa, state or region, but he's still the leading candidate in the democratic primaries. Has the primaries been concluded and he lost in the overall? I think that we should be very specific in the information that we pass across, so that others are not misled.

I believe that Americans are smart people, so this is their opportunity to make a choice, whether president Biden, should continue in office or not, the citizens through their votes have the power to make it happen in the coming election. And whether Biden, is behind illegal migrants entering the US, if they have evidence of this, then let him be prosecuted. If the immunity of his office will shield him from persecution, then he should face the music when he leaves office.

We have enough crypto sites where we can get first hand crypto news, all the sites mentioned in the OP gives accurate news, although sometimes they can copy each other, which is normal, so far they're reporting the same correct news. Thanks for the addition, 'cryptopanic, the more the merrier, I think that I'll add it to my crypto site collection, I hope that it lives up to your hype.

Being among the early investors in a new project can give you an edge because probability is that the price will not dip lower, rather it'll pump as more investors buys the tokens. The investors must however understand that investing in new projects is a gamble, because there are more more scams than genuine projects, so they must do the needful "research", so they won't fall for hypes and promises of getting unrealistic returns on investments. It's only Bitcoin and established altcoins that you don't need to research whether they're reputable to invest in, because they've proven their reputations.

Thanks for the information, although 794,000 sound unrealistic to ask as minimum wage, but di way wey naira don de turn to shitcurrency, I no go de too surprised if anybody de make any outrageous demands, because di rate wey commodities take de add money for di country de make naira de lose value everyday. I pray say e no go reach dat kind level wey minimum wage go hike like dat, odawise naira go de totally worthless and a bottle of soft drink go reach 5k. Anyway na offer dem make.

I no understand, I think say NLC national level minimum wage suppose be di same nationwide? Abi dem payments na on regional levels? Why Because if na on di state levels na di state governors, suppose make dat call.

Everything about this project indicates that it's a scam, and as you said if the OP is not a part of their team and trying to come to this forum to entice us with their unrealistic ROI, then it's best for him not to hop on their scam wagon. Aside from Bitcoin and top altcoins that have proven their reputations in the crypto market, every new projects must be thoroughly researched, so that potential investors will not be scammed of their hard earned money. I wish that there were some sort of regulatory framework in the crypto space that'll signal red flags on scam projects, to protect newbie investors, because most of them will get scammed and label the whole cryptos as scam.

The main reason why I think that some governments either fully or partially ban the usage of Bitcoin in their countries is because of control, they probably feel threatened by a decentralized digital currency that their apex bank can not fully regulate it's usage. I think that this mindset is myopic, because a country like El Salvador, that has fully adopted Bitcoin, is having a massive ROI in their reserve, in this bull season. Many individuals and organizations in every parts of the world that adopted Bitcoin are also doing great

It's true that Bitcoin might not reduce employment for majority of citizens in a country, but to those that are knowledgeable about it, it'll serve as a good investment option for them, not forgetting that it also creates employments for those in exchange p2p.

There's a saying in my dialect that translates that it's the relatives of a mad person that feels ashamed, instead of the mad person, so you don't really blame the family of a gambling addict when they try to offer help to the victim out of love, because of the shame that he's bringing to the family. I've seen a gambler who scammed their town's association and squandered all the money, using large portion of it to gamble, in the end he lost everything, when the town association found out that he was the scammer, they decided to confiscate the family's property, then the family members had to contribute to pay every penny that he stole. It was traumatizing for the family members to bear the shame and repay money that an irresponsible family member scammed the town association.

You've simplified your strategy, buy when price dips and sale when it pumps to your expected target, it think it's a great strategy so stick with it and don't worry so much about the decisions of others, remember it's their money and they can choose when to sale and buy, just like you. We all have different perspectives on how we predict the outcome of Bitcoin price, sometimes you want to wait for price to dip lower before selling, and you'd be surprised that the opposite will happen and price will start to pump, so you can't blame anybody for making a decision that'll not benefit you, because they made that decision to favor them. The summary is that crypto price is volatile, so we can only predict and the market determines actual price.

It's said that bad company corrupts good manners, and power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely, so I want to believe that many politicians enters the political space with good intentions to work and serve their citizens, but the pressure to conform with the doings of other politicians will make them to seek their personal gains in office rather than serving the people. If a politician doesn't act like the majority of politians, they'll do everything by all means to frustrate the good politician, when the pressure is much, the politician will either stand alone or quit.

The corrupt ones will want all of them to be birds of same feathers, so nobody will expose their loots, and who doesn't want to be corrupt will be threatened, blackmailed and intimidated, except he/she joins them, at the detriment of the citizens that supposedly voted them into power. A country will experience prosperity if there are more credible leaders than corrupt ones.

Let this be an eye opener for the OP to understand that there's no free lunch anywhere, you'd have to work to earn money and respect, someone said that it's only family, friends and fools that'll just hand money over to you without doing anything for them to earn it. This is a harsh reality of life, so he's young and instead of soliciting for help from total strangers, let him research and use his musical skill to make money and hopefully invest in Bitcoin. This is a great forum where he can ask questions about crypto for free, increase his knowledge and when his money starts rolling in, he'll have enough experience about how the crypto market works.

Determining whether a new project is a scam or legit can be a very cumbersome task, you'd have to be experienced in cryptocurrency to be able to determine whether it's authentic and good to invest in, newbies must learn how to know what to lookout for when they carry out research. Knowing the track record of the dev, team is a good way to start, so the would be investors will know if the members have been involved in legit projects because, if they've been in questionable projects prior to that, then it's a red flag not to proceed further. It's safer for newbie investors to start with established crypto coins like Bitcoin and top altcoins, like Ethereum and BNB.

Dis forum de very unique with plenty boards and sub boards wey de cater for different topics oda dan Bitcoin discussion, so anywhere wey no need your rank perticipation, make you jump and pass to where dem need your posts. As far as I know, any rank fit to start topic and forum members wey get interest go perticipate, so any newbie fit to start im own competition too, maybe you fit say di competition na mainly for fellow newbies, I believe say e no de against forum rules. Anyway if person want boards wey I'm go free himself for serious crypto matters, make im go off topic and politics and society sectors.
