Any country can adopt Bitcoin, as a legal tender, whether they're big or small, but I think that there's a reason why it's not happening yet, every country wants a centralized fiat currency that their central banks can regulate. As we know Bitcoin is decentralized and countries cannot control it, so I believe that it will be very difficult for many countries to adopt it whether they're a big or small country. As you noted, what if whales decides to manipulate it, how can a country be able to regulate it to suit their economy, this will not be an easy task. I think that Bitcoin, will function better as an alternative currency, to be used in p2p transactions, and it's massive adoption can make it the top digital cash, above every fiat currencies.

From your point of view, an anti gambler can collect money from a gambler when in dire need, even though they condemn gambling, but they don't condemn the money that is earned from it. I think that will be hypocrisy, it means that the person can as well collect money from an armed robber who is a murderer, with the mindset that it doesn't matter how he made the money, that what matters is collecting the money, afterall it's the same with money that is earned in a salary.

I think that a person can collect money from a source that they don't approve of to save a life, but they should have that slight remorseful feeling that on a normal day, they wouldn't even consider collecting money from such a person. Money earned from a source that you approve of is not the same with the money earned from a source that you don't approve off, how money is earned matters a lot.

Every experienced person in the crypto space understands that investing in memecoins are risky because you're gambling your funds by doing so, and be ready to accept whatever outcome that the project brings, whether profit or lose. It's true that you can liken them to lotteries and Ponzi schemes, because you can make a lucky pick and it'll be profitable for you, while some are scam projects from the inception, they'll launch and when the dev. team has accumulated enough of investors funds, they exit the project and it'll be dead.

The best approach for memecoins is to research and make a choice, it could become the next dogecoin and Shiba Inu, or end up as one of the uncountable shitcoins, so always invest the amount that you can afford to loose.

I've heard and seen people that condemns gambling, due to their religious believes, some because they think that gamblers are irresponsible people, while others are what they've heard about gambling addicts. This sets of people will tell you that gambling is sin, gamblers are people who wants to take shortcuts to riches and gamblers are not responsible or to be trusted with money.

But when trouble comes, that is the best time to judge people's characters, it's then that you will know whether they practice what they preach. So I'm wondering in a scenerio where people with these anti gambling believes and mindset finds themselves in a situation where they perhaps needed to save a life urgently and what is needed is money for quick surgery. And the only person that volunteered to give the money is someone that says he/she won the money in gambling, I wonder if the anti gambling person in dire need will collect the money.

The morale in this story is that people that condemns gambling should not judge, because it's not a crime to gamble. Although we have irresponsible gamblers, but then there are irresponsible people in every areas of life. So what do you think about the people that condemns gambling?

Nigerian government just like other governments want to de know and control cryptocurrency transactions, unto say crypto like Bitcoin, de decentralized, meaning say criminals dem fit to de launder money through am. Dat na why countries get different restrictions, unfavorable regulations while some countries na outright ban.

Di situation of cryptocurrency inside Nigeria, na peculiar case because our government de take crypto matter de cover for dem incompetent leadership. Dem de find ways to strengthen di naira, instead to face di matter from di root and improve our infrastructures, make di country not to depend on importation, instead na crypto matter dem come face, like say na im be di problem of Nigeria. After dem sanction Binance, and come disable naira p2p for reputable exchanges, how e don take help di naira to appreciate? Cost of goods and services for di country just de increase everyday and di poor de get poorer. No matter wetin dem do, cryptocurrency, don come to stay for naija, so e de better say make dem make Nigeria, a crypto friendly country, to benefit a lot of our citizens dem wey de earn money from cryptocurrency.

Without income there's no way that anybody can do Bitcoin investment, because it takes money to convert to Bitcoin and hodle, and having atleast one steady source of income is important to be able to do DCA method. I've encountered a couple of unemployment youths who are looking for online jobs where they can make money, they'd ask my opinion about the potentials of making money in cryptocurrency, and I'd tell them that cryptocurrency is about trading and investments, that you need money to engage in either of them, so they're not a job for the unemployed.

The OP did the right thing by advising his cousin to invest in Bitcoin, when he had a steady income, when the cousin became broke and remembered Bitcoin, I think that the OP still did the right thing by letting him to understand that Bitcoin, is not a get rich quick scheme, he needs money to invest on the long term before he'll start to see ROI.

I've personally never had any gambling addict open up to me about what they're going through but I've heard about the ones that have opened up to other people, so I guess that it's not very common for addicts to open up about their addictions. I feel that most of them are found out through their financial recklessness, I've heard about people who used the money that was meant for important projects or expenditures to gamble, and were found out after family or friends began to investigate and interrogate the gambling addicts.

I've heard about the story of a gambling addict who dropped out of school because he gambled with the tuition fee that was sent to him by his struggling parents. He didn't stop there, after dropping out of school, the irresponsible gambler kept collecting more tuition fees from his parents, who still thought that he was in school, this kept on until his parents got information that there son was no longer in school. I agree with you that these addicts needs professional help, love and emotional support from their families to see them through.

Diversifying money into investments is the best decision that anybody can make in an economy that is experiencing inflation, and the type of investment depends on the amount of money that you have. My number one investment is Bitcoin, because it's a valuable asset and a person can start it's investment with a small amount, even while working, you can do DCA method and grow your investment fund, which will keep multiplying your ROI on the long term. My second option that I'm still working on is real estate, this is also an asset that it's price keeps increasing in value, I plan to sale some of my Bitcoin, in the near future and diversify it into real estate.

Money in the bank, during inflation is ignorance on the part of an account holder, because the more the fiat currency is devaluing, the more the value of the money in the bank is depreciating. I strongly recommend Bitcoin, investment, not shitcoin cryptocurrencies.

The key word is that Bitcoin, is unique, and no other cryptocurrency comes near it because of it's value, popularity and utility, like you rightly said, therefore it's in a higher class of it's own. And inasmuch as there's always a demand for it, the price will continue to increase in the future, this is necessitated because over the years Bitcoin, has proven to be a store of value, an asset that if held on a long term, will always increase returns on investment for it's holders. Except for a few top altcoins, most of the projects in the category are scams, this is why making comparison in cryptocurrency, it'll be like choosing between Bitcoin and altcoins, obviously Bitcoin, will always carry the day, because of the trust and profitability that it has built over the years.

Here we are worrying about an unlucky gambler, if him Drake, is not too worried about his loses, then I don't think that I need to lose sleep over it, afterall it's his money. Although I don't think that being a serial looser in anything is good for the image of any celebrities, his fans will not be too excited about his constantly loosing huge amount of money, and I doubt that they can brag about it. But I think that the bet companies that drake, loses to will be loving him more because he's making them richer, infact they'll love him to be losing so much more than winning, because they're in business to make money.

Firstly I think that you perhaps give your family and friends the impression that you have extra money, you might not do this intentionally but the way you talk about money can give them that impression, otherwise they will not always come to you.

It's easier to borrow money to outsiders than family and friends, you can take drastic actions to recover your money from outsiders, but you can create enemity between family and friends, when you want to forcefully recover your money. With family and friends, it's better to loan them the amount that you can afford to loose, so when they don't pay back, it won't affect your relationship with them. Try to know the purpose of the money that they want to borrow from you, if it's for gambling, you need to bluntly or gently tell then NO. People should never gamble with borrowed money, because you never know whether you'll win or lose.

E de very important to gather information about any investments wey person wan enter, odawise di person go de get doubts and panic, if some normal shakeups happen for di investment. Wen person research and gather information about Bitcoin before im go into di investment, im no go panic wen di price begin to dip, di person go understand say na normal thing, unto say Bitcoin de volatile, and di price de pump and dump on the short term. Everybody wey de hodl Bitcoin, suppose understand say na long term investment, di longer wey you hodl am, di more profitable im go be, unto say na verified store of value.

Na for di early days of Bitcoin creation na im people de panic say weda na Ponzi scheme or some kind of scam, but I believe say dat myopic view don drastically reduce, now people don trust am as a reputable asset wey im value go continue to increase.

This is the norm in most rural areas, you see kids who have no business being in the bet shops, they'll be there gambling and everybody is minding their own business, I got tried of being angry and has to accept what I see. Due to the economic hardship in my country, many ignorant people thinks that gambling is a shortcut to riches, you'll see the elderly and underage, all pamutating in lotto shops and bet shops. I know that gambling age should be 18 years and above, but laws are not very effective in most rural areas, and we're seeing more underaged gamblers.

I've talked to a few secondary school students about the dangers of gambling, when you're not matured enough to make financial decisions, but it all falls on deaf ears when one of their peers wins money.

Bitcoin is already surviving every stumbling blocks on it's way to becoming the dominant digital cash, that will take over from all the digital fiat. In the early days of it's creation, people were skeptical about it, including me, it was called a Ponzi scheme in my locality, but as the years went by, it's reputation has continued to increase and more people have seen that it's a store of value, hence the adoption continues to grow. Although I believe that most people that hodl Bitcoin, is for investment purposes, to collect profits from it, because it's an asset that continues to increase in value, hopefully in the future, it'll be used more as a digital cash to make payments for items.

@Cryptopreneuerbrainboss, boss, I want to say a very big thanks to you for giving me the privilege to work with you for the past six months. Eloncoin, was my first signature campaign in this forum, and I'm very grateful for the cordial work relationship.

I want to officially inform you that I've been accepted in another signature campaign. I hope that I can still work with you in the future.

Best regards.

The most important thing is for every income earning gambler to learn how to gamble responsibly, that will help the person to plan the amount that they use for gambling. The income earner should have a budget for his expenditures, and he should be very disciplined to adhere to the percentage that he has mapped out for gambling, without discipline, the gambler can be carried away and exceed the planned amount for gambling. The amount of money to take from salary for gambling should be the decision of the gambler, their other responsibilities will determine how much they will gamble in a week or month, I will however suggest less than 5% of total income.

Thanks for the great opportunity given to work with you @Hhampuz
Signature updated, avatar will upload soon.

Post count, including this one 2054

It must've been a big honor for companies to contact members privately to wear there signatures, that must be in the early days when the number of forum members were not this much, I guess some pioneering members will still get the preferential treatments. What I met on ground is joining a signature campaign, through a campaign manager, and I think it makes the relationship between the campaign perticipants in the forum and the company they're advertising for to have cordial relationships.

Di subject na about Bitcoin, but di content of discussion come add cbdc, dem two no be di same, Bitcoin na cryptocurrency while cbdc na fiat. Aldo di similarity wey dem get be say di two na digital transactions dem de for.

Bitcoin adoption don increase rapidly and many people don de hodl am now, some businesses don de accept am as payment, but im use as a digital currency to take make payments no be di reason wey many people take hodl am, and dat na one of di reasons wey di adoption never circulate as e suppose to. As Bitcoin na store of value, many holders no de like to spend am until di value increase for dem to sale and make profit. I believe say cbdc wey be fiat digital currency go fit to also boost di chances of businesses to de accept Bitcoin, unto say na digital currency too.

This is an altcoins discussion board and I think that any discussion that is related to altcoins should be allowed to be discussed, it doesn't matter if they're related, so far there's a little difference, then it should be allowed. Altcoin discussions have similarities and if you don't accommodate them what else are we going to discuss here in this board? You can't bring discussions from any other boards to this board, that'll be the real spamming, so I suggest that we leave it as it is, accommodate any new information on altcoins, even if it looks similar to others.

If you have one thread for memecoins, it'll become a mega thread and boring, so I don't mind seeing a new memecoin thread with a new information. Let it be at the OP discretion to lock a thread, or if anybody has a problem with a thread, the best thing to do is report it or ignore it.
