Home schooling alone no dey enough for me because no be only book pikin dey learn for school. If you think am well, you go notice say the friends them wey you make for school played and still dey play important role for your life now... some go dey for you once once. Besides, you fit learn plenty things about life when you associate for school, things you no fit learn for house.

Wetin me go do na to send my children to public schools come still arrange home classes for them. This style go make them balance.

This is the handiwork of hackers. Cointelegraph reported that Huobi exchange have been hacked. According to the report, $7.9 million worth of assets have been stolen. This is another proof that centralized exchanges are not safe for storage of funds. Several posts have been made to show the danger of storing funds in CEX and I guess people are learning and making adjustments accordingly.

Let's hope they are able to arrest the situation before it get out of hand.

To make life easier, you don't need most of the fine English spoken by the supposed experts. Simply carve out some portion of your funds you want to use for investment, buy Bitcoin this year and wait for 2024 and 2025 to see what great an investor you are.

Some of these grammar are really not necessary as they mainly apply to those controlling funds of others and are being pressured to return profits.

There is a saying that "those who forget their past always repeat the mistakes of the past". Talking about the past is not a sign of frustration in the process but a way of appreciating where we are coming from, the mistakes and lessons learnt and how to be better positioned for the future.

Besides, there are lots of new members who can learn from these stories and make better investment decisions by avoiding our mistakes. So, the post might actually have achieved the intended purpose


There is no hate whatsoever! Why will you hate someone for making decisions that affects only them. It is their money and how they use it is entirely up to them. The post is only intended to share ideas while the decision on future cause of action rest with individuals.

Some statements are not only funny but unfortunate.  This is like a tree saying it will cut its roots. How can a government built on corruption attempt to say they will end corruption in public procurement? People that spent billions of naira feeding school children that are locked down with their parents; a country where animals swallow money; a government that claimed to have lifted 10 million Nigerians out of poverty using recovered loots of Abacha?

I know Nigerians enjoy suiting news, so I guess this man is just telling the people what they want to hear even though that is not planned to happen.

I keep telling people that until we get so angry and decide to shutdown the country and reset it, nothing will change. The army will not carry out coup because their leaders are just politicians in military uniform. The only hope is in the streets... the day the street will be tired, then we can shutdown and start the rebuilding process.

You are very correct @Patrol69 because investment in Bitcoin is the real application of the knowledge. I remember when I was learning forex trading where I started with demo account (an account loaded with virtual money, not real money). It was very easy making profit and growing the demo account but the moment you decide to go live (trade with real money), the story changes as it turn out it is a different ball game. With real money, reality dawns on you that forex is not that easy and most time one is overwhelmed with losses to the point you begin to think you are under a spell. Those who trade forex can attest to this. So, having knowledge of Bitcoin without actually putting money into it is like this demo trading.... you will never really know the emotional aspect of investing in Bitcoin and how to also gauge your level of greed.

Furthermore, Bitcoin is a very volatile asset.... how will you know the feelings that comes with gaining/loosing 10% of your capital within 24 hours? This is only possible when you commit your funds using the knowledge you have gained. In conclusion, knowledge of Bitcoin is the theory while investing is the practical.


I started with Bitcoin from the angle of usage; I mean using it to make payment only and never saving it as investment. I did this for a while before I realized I could actually be making good money from investing and holding. It will interest you to know that these two  scenarios come with totally different emotions, mindset and approach. While the first part is just knowledge, the second part is investment.

Bitcoin have done so well considering the backlash from the world powers since its inception. As with every revolutionary innovation,  there will always be resistance and it is after overcoming these resistance that the beauty and power will be unveiled. So far, Bitcoin have shown great resilience against negative forces such as ban in some countries, hacks which daint the immage and fud from the media amongst others.

As of today, there is growing interest in Bitcoin, as can be seen from many big companies such as PayPal and Union Bank getting involved. More will come with time and I see this as a sign that the future is bright for Bitcoin. 

I don't see much changing in regards to hacking... which in most cases, is stealing. Thieves will always exist so the best you can do is to protect yourself however best you can. Centralized exchanges are prone to hacks... people look for loopholes and most times there is insider collaboration.

I  cannot call the case of FTX a hack rather another form of stealing which is eating money that people entrusted in you.

Just be careful out there.

Gambling is not entirely about luck, there is a place for skill and psychology. Even though some persons might doubt it, if you don't have the skills and psychology to manage your gambling portfolio, the chances are high that you will eventually get wiped out. Habits like increasing staked amount after serious of losses,  quiting for the day or a certain period after major wins and many others are skills and psychological preparedness that have nothing to do with luck.

This is the crux of this discussion.  There is some form of luck but that is not all there is to success in gambling. To be successful and consistent in gambling, you must be disciplined enough to have rules that you miss must follow religiously. These rules will enable you cut your looses while maximising your profits.

I think this topic would have been better in Trading discussion....
Nevertheless,  trading can be a very profitable venture if the skill set is mastered.  So, if you are able to develop a winning strategy, keep it up and ensure you are consistent.  Follow your rules and good luck.

Unfortunately, I have not been involved in any of the meme coins that did well. In my days of Ignorance, I have invested into several of those meme coins,  even some with solid marketing and huge hype yet they all failed. My experience is enough to make me conclude that they are not worth it.

I am not disputing the fact that some would have made money from meme coins, I know few that did.... I guess luck played in their favour.


I think 20% to meme coins is way too high for me. Why will I commit 20% of my investment funds to something I don't believe in.... pure low probability gambling. Even though I will not even give it a thought, I think single digit percentage of investment funds should not be bad. After all, it is believed that meme coins can easily give x100 in profits. Assuming you have $10k to invest and you decide to use 5% of that, that will be $500 investment. If you split this into five meme coins and one of them achieves x100, that will be $10k representing a profit of $9,500. This is huge.

Anyone who have been in crypto for a year now will most likely have a share of those scam tokens. I think they have bots that monitor when wallets are dropped in forums,  airdrop website or giveaway threads. If this is not how they get the wallets, then I'm a kind of confused how they get the wallets that they send thousands of transactions at random.

The purpose of these phishing wallets is definitely to steal your funds. Some are even listed in PCS and when you try to sell it, they will gain access to your wallet or drain your BNB as gas fees after you authorise the transaction. 

As the blockchain technology is evolving,  scammers are also upgrading their skills because thieves hide under something genuine to unleash their wisckness. We just have to be careful!

It will be safer if the Facebook page bear the same name as the forum username. In that case, people will know it is from the same person.

The safe thing to do is to add the statement, " as I have posted in my Facebook page before" then add the link if possible. I am saying this from experience in the academic world... the issue of plagiarism is a serious one and it is not taken likely anywhere. Since the consequences here is immediate, it is good to exercise caution so you don't get your account messed up.

I have searched for this before and the best answer I got was that "there's no way of knowing when a private key corresponding to an address was generated. It can be done offline. It can be done years in the past".  So,you can only know when the wallet first receive the first transaction, a response in this article also support this.

I will be keenly waiting to see what others have to say too.

This topic have been discussed in details in several threads, although in the bigger thread. One example of such is This one where several suggestions have been given on how to transfer Bitcoin wealth to heirs and the next generation. Even LoyceV gave a very good and technical perspective in This thread. I suggest you go through both threads so you understand the contribution that have been made so far in this regards.

I don't know if it is necessary to start the discussion all over again in this local board or perhaps we can give Naija twist to it considering our peculiarity. Well, let me see what others have to say.

I think you have to make the correction that Bitcoin always see a new ATH the year after halving. If you Check your data correctly,  you will notice that Bitcoin made new highs in 2013, 2017 and 2021, the next years after the first, second and third halving respectively. Going by that record, selling next year will be a poor decision to make because there are chances that 2025 will see BTC at an ATH. This is my suggestion based on historic data, it can change anyways.


Rather than cause devaluation, the halving will reduce miners reward and this will reduce the quantity of Bitcoin in the hands of those that are willing to sell at any time for a profit. This reduction in supply will invariably lead to imbalance that will push demand up. So halving will surely lead to a rise in price and  not devaluation.

It is so disheartening that people are growing increasingly lazy and unwilling to think and be committed to something worthwhile. They just want to enjoy easy life without putting in any effort. Unknown to many is the fact that what appears to be free on the surface may actually come with huge consequences.  Scammers hide under this guise to get their victims.

I rarely pay attention to them because I understand that they are 99% not worth the time. I realised this when I was actively participating in airdrops.

I don't know why I always have the feeling that most of these hacks are done by the developers of these wallets. I can be wrong but I think there is always an insider in all these as it is easier for the developers to find any loopholes than an outsider.  

If you love your funds, I will advise you stay away from that wallet because this is a very bad signal. One of the ways to avoid regrets is in this digital space is to be sensitive to red flags such as we have seen in atomic wallet.

This rule will likely be broken in the coming bull market. Bitcoin dominance is increasing and many altcoins are failing... this means investors are realizing that most of these altcoins are shitcoins. If this trend continues, the hyped altcoin season may never come even when Bitcoin will be soaring. Ofcourse there will be few of the altcoins that will attempt to following Bitcoin but the number is steadily reducing. FTX is out, Luna is out.... these were solid projects yet failed. Who knows the next!

I know a lot of smart guys including the founders of most of these shitcoins are already converting their bag to Bitcoin as that is the only way to have peace. Anyone hoping to go to the moon with a bag of over-hyped altcoin might actually meet his Waterloo

You don already know say Bitcoin na the koko... I no know wetin you dey find again. Abi you dey find insider information of coin wey go pump like PEPE?

Base on say Naija no dey carry last, plenty smart guys don already dey buy Bitcoin to prepare for the next bull run.

If you wan joy, begin dey buy Bitcoin small small because next bull run go dey massive... no go borrow money o!
