1241  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Certified Bitcoin Professional on: August 01, 2023, 10:38:17 PM
My take on this one is that if you've got a lot of spare money and you want to get into this, it's just all about satisfaction and getting the certificate unless you want to apply for jobs related to Bitcoin and related to blockchain technology.
Two questions come to mind here. First is whether companies hiring "blockchain experts" require such certificates or care if you have one or not. Second is whether these hiring companies even recognize the issuer of such certificates!
I believe this kind of certificate is useless.

I have this certification, I was approved in this exam by 2018 ( It already expired). Aa company paid for my exam, otherwise I wouldn't take it.

One thing that is interesting about this certification are the people behind it: Antonopoulos  and Vitalik Buterin (he was when I took the exam, but I believe he left).

I wouldn't do it again, only if someone paid me to do it or to have it.
That’s how its irrelevance is defined, by its expiry date. Having such a knowledge based certification to come with an expiry date almost feels as though the knowledge did expire with the certificate as well.

When there isn’t any much backing other than the organization administering the examination, then there is a problem of how it could be used and of what significance is it to the crypt space. As far as I can tell, I don’t know of a body that sets standards to what goes and doesn’t and the closest to any form of attachment to what could be in bitcoin has always been the forum but even at that, the forum only operates within its own spheres being where, it’s rules can apply and nothing more
1242  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SEC asked Coinbase to halt trading in everything except BITCOIN, CEO says on: August 01, 2023, 10:10:45 PM

The US Securities and Exchange Commission asked Coinbase to halt trading in all cryptocurrencies other than bitcoin prior to suing the exchange, in a sign of the agency’s intent to assert regulatory authority over a broader slice of the market.

This is a very interesting interview.

It is amazing how Government already considers Bitcoin totally different than altcoins. Imagine what could happen to Bitcoin and altcoin's price if something like this happens in US?
It’s indeed interesting but I tend to view it from a different perspective as,
To trade bitcoin, it’s got to go with another currency pair and that be some of the altcoins of which trades is being halt at the time following instructions from SEC.
Another thing to consider is the fact that, though bitcoin would have been given some preferential treatment as the pioneer currency, truly decentralized and what ever reasons that might back up there decision to let trading continue in bitcoin, they as well show some kind of influence on cryptocurrencies through exchanges even though it’s focused on altcoins.

It creates a huge sentiment on both grounds and in some way, it upholds the authority of bitcoin and that’s the good part.
1243  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: First Bitcoin ETF got approved in Europe? Really on: August 01, 2023, 02:41:49 PM
Live or not we are not that interested about bitcoin ETF because it's another thing entirely outside the bitcoin network,
The price reaction the last time there was news about Bitcoin ETF showed that it influences traders and the market in general, if it's a big enough news.
The news about this ETF is under reported maybe cause it's 1 year late in its launch, and it is not going to have a similar impact on the Bitcoin price.

Thanks for such observation and idea given on this to shed more light, but on a real life experience, bitcoin ETF shouldn't be a drive to the bitcoin market even though it is believed that, cryptocurrency news has a little contribution it give to affect the market price of bitcoin especially when there's a news release on important aspect of bitcoin or cryptocurrency,
There are a lot that shouldn’t be but is the case and continues to persist for some reasons such as, the rest of the world is yet to get a clear picture of what bitcoin is about or entails. This in turn creates a reaction based on what news is being put out there and whine it comes from a trusted and regulated body.
Bitcoin ETF doesn’t speak much about bitcoin itself but, it pegs it to other commodities giving investors the security they need to go ahead in a crypto innovative investment without having much phobia on the happenings within the field.

As much as the negative creates a sentiment about the coin and is allowed to stay, the positive just could as well too but, it’s best to stress the fact that, these are carried out within centralized systems, susceptible to hacks and your only leveraged by the broker.
1244  Economy / Speculation / Re: What if BTC won't see ATH again? on: July 31, 2023, 11:29:38 PM
So, let's collect here the reasons why there will be ATH for BTC.
Name one (at least) reason, please.   
Bitcoin is a limited commodity of value or currency should I go that way. It was made this limited not to deprive certain people the chance to own some but, it comes to give the public a chance to actually make it what it ought to be without the need to create new bitcoins.
The world is over populated right now and economic crisis thrives, currencies depreciate in value, living the public to sort out for alternatives of which, it could be found in bitcoin.
With the value of bitcoin as it is, should all the coins be mined, it wouldn’t be enough to serve the growing population and as such, the least Sat having some actual value to it would be a reason why the current ATH can’t continue to hodl.
1245  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Wetin you for do as a Nigerian? on: July 31, 2023, 09:32:22 AM
Bros as long as na thief no cause for alarm,since if police come around,he dey clear say people go say na thief. Remember for Nigeria wey we dey people dey kill thief and nothing police dey do about the matter.
Before you consider an as a thief, first consider say na human being. This person na person papa, Pikin, brother or sister. Yes, we know say this thieves them dey heartless and the nature of work way them dey do no be watin them dey pity person way go con make them require pity when them grab them like this but, killing person as e describe so, na jungle justice them dey call am and in the site of the law, that doesn’t make it right or the people way kill am to be less than a criminal. Na still murder be that o, make e clear.

You saying our arm forces and agencies no go do anything about am, that na lie o. No be for person way them catch and no be thief way get person. Na court dey talk am finish and you taking judgement and dishing out death penalty, that makes you the law which no suppose be so. Nigeria dey act like say we dey lawless but law dey.
1246  Economy / Economics / Re: Helpful mineral resources on: July 30, 2023, 11:58:53 PM
Africans are blessed with a lot of minerals that if this resources are gainfully used for benefit of their citizens, this God given resources would add colours to Africans.
Perhaps these resources which is supposed to be a blessing has turned out to be a curse instead. It has turned the hearts of both leaders and citizens to an acquire when you’ve got the chance, creating an over dependency on a particular resource or discovers mineral and as such, competing with other parts of the world that sort ways to better the life’s of its citizens and there country goes in vain.

This ought not to be. Africa already have these resources, are well aware of its potential but still, greed don’t allow its leaders to give the nations a hearing. A heading that acknowledges that resources this finishes and it takes over a million years to form which would be far from when we are gone.
Hence, having other resources fullness is a necessity for growth.
1247  Economy / Economics / Re: Bad impact when You carry out Online or Offline Loans on an ongoing basis on: July 30, 2023, 11:53:28 PM
maybe many people are taking loans online or offline for various urgent reasons, but keep in mind that the habit of making loans will only get you entangled with what is called eternal debt and the possibility of getting addicted to making loans online or offline

I live in a city where the rate of people making loans is quite high until yesterday I heard of a neighbor who was fighting with a debt collector because he was unable to pay but the debt collector belittled the borrower who was unable to pay
Is that even a thing or some term you just came up with “eternal debt”

The loan business has become a very big business in recent times and it’s not easy for one yo go a day without having some of these loan apps having to flash there loan offers through ads on your screen.

What’s most daring is the ease at which one can acquire this loans. As little as just your cellphone number for some and you’re good. This is creating more and more problems for most individuals as you would find them taking more loans than need be even, when they don’t want it and don’t have the capacity to pay.

It’s a problem that needs resolution. Loan companies needs to slow it dow, get proper criteria for giving loans and not harass innocent and good minded citizens around the globe.
1248  Economy / Economics / Re: Building a prosperous business on: July 30, 2023, 11:43:12 PM
Looking at the current situation it is certainly not easy to make a business, competition in online sales makes us have to be smart, and if we focus on business then long term planning is important, if we don't have many plans and only think one plan then chances are we will fail.
You’re in business not to compete but yo offer your unique services and products. If you focus too much on the competition, you might lose sight of what is really of the essence and that is, the much goods you can offer and of great quality too.
One thing is for sure, there is always going to be that one person, one investor, one innovative individual that might seem better than yourself, have all the resources and human power to push his profits or services ahead of everyone else but, that shouldn’t be a discouragement but rather, a motivation to do even better and look out for means to get to the heart of your customer. Increase your customers support lines and be sure to draw your customers close by listening to there complaints, conducting surveys and get better result out of what your offering.
1249  Economy / Economics / Re: Reason why you will never become rich on: July 30, 2023, 11:30:49 PM

Your second reason is wholesomely agreed with but, not as much as I would say for the first. Yeah, one has to understand that money not invested does go away and you ain’t getting that back but money invested yields you profit. Even still, you’ve got to know just how to utilize this money so you don’t end up not making plans for the rainy days when it comes.

The first point is one which I don’t completely agree with. Some of the points there yes but, some others sounded a little sketchy. One thing you must understand is that, our world is beseeched with problems and everyone now and then, you’re going to have one come around. Be it yours, that of a family member or even a friend. It’s just normal and can’t be totally avoided but, could be reduced and part of that is by empowerment. On this, you got them right but, on the part where you get to have family work with you;
This has or poses a challenge of its own. You get a little soft in handling serious affairs while dealing with family than other staff. This makes the business to get affected and you wouldn’t want that.
1250  Economy / Economics / Re: Population: Economic strength or weakness on: July 30, 2023, 11:22:53 PM
But if you want to talk about the whole world's economy, overpopulation helps a lot. Everyone alive needs to consume food. Poor, rich, middle class. All of us need food. So as we consume food on a daily basis, we are helping the economy.
Before you start agreeing or conceiving the idea that over population does help, you first and foremost have to wonder why, it’s advocated against? If it did truly helps, it would have been a welcomed idea and you won’t find many persons terminating pregnancies, government would have encouraged its citizens to go about making babies and the nation continues to grow in man power but, this ain’t the case. Over population is forth against everywhere across the globe and that means, it doesn’t help.
Should man power be the issue, you could always get external help to get the job done. It’s rather common.

Over population is a problem given that, it can not be matched with the available or needed resources and that would lead to chaos on different fronts. People ought to try and not to be selfish and practice birth control so we could save our world, over population is a problem.
1251  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'll always tell people about bitcoin on: July 30, 2023, 10:32:31 PM
The reason why a lot of those introductions turned out badly in the end was because of the narrative they were introduced to: "If you buy Bitcoin, you'll be rich in no time" - While this is okay, it gives people the idea that Bitcoin is a get rich scheme and when it's no longer giving, say bear market kicks in, they turn away looking for the next big thing.
While this might be the case, people ought to be scared of that which poses no risk and gets to ask some serious questions. I feel bad for those who ignores all odds to preach just the goods that could come with the system and not prepare the minds of this wealth seekers that, it could go south or it gets bad at times. More so, I also imagine just how someone would be easily convinced that there are risk free investments in this world and still, why isn’t everyone diving in and getting rich.

People just have to talk to themselves, ask necessary questions and be scared of risk free investments because, that can’t exists. You’re always going to be met by some risk on the way and your income can never be consistent. Things would go wrong at some point and drop your sales or net profit and in a worst case scenario, loses.
1252  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you use Bitcoin to pay everything online? on: July 30, 2023, 10:24:07 PM
So I want to know in such situation, what will you do? I am asking this question because bitcoin is a digital currency for exchange of goods and services. I know that there are some services you pay ahead but what of the ones you are buying instant? You just came to the place and you want to buy from the hawker and zoom off, and you are to pay with bitcoin because there is no physical cash in your wallet/pocket/hands.
Everything in life has got advantages and disadvantages or should I say, limitations. Having yo think of bitcoinbor cryptocurrency as an all perfect system would be wrong because, it’s none the less another creation and has got to have some down sides to it. It’s no wonder that some of its down sides plays out in terms of instant payment where you don’t get your coins confirmed when you want it without paying a high fee, you can’t seem to process a transaction without a device and your always going to need an internet connection. It’s just the way it works and we’ve have to live with that.

It’s a good thing the bitcoin revolution isn’t here to replace local fiat currency because, fiat does help and even still, it’s not suitable for transfers to hawkers on the streets. How many would be willing or even have such payment media readily in place for petty sales.
1253  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just Another Good Source Of Motivation For You ... on: July 30, 2023, 07:46:33 PM
In all the facts laid out in OP, I’ll like to at least credit the fact that, not everything eaten is been sent down the toilet. Good is life and you very much need food to survive every passing day. It’s of note that, some of the consumed food is being assimilated into the body to nourish the body.

Still, having to take a page out of the tweet is of great importance. This is due to the fact that, for you to even be able to afford or get a daily meal, you need to have a source to generate the needed money to put food on the table and satisfy other needs. It won’t cost you much to take a page to investing.
1254  Economy / Lending / Re: Need 0.3BTC Approx on: July 29, 2023, 11:48:24 PM
@OP, I would ask this of you;
Would you have loaned just anyone over the web because his got some house problems?

My answer to that and to your thread is a loud NO. Nobody does that and you wouldn’t find such aid from this forum either with, a none reputable account that has got no history to it.

You might want to know this that, the forum isn’t some place you just come for your gains, it’s firstly a discussion platform and that aids you in knowledge grabbing and you in turn gets to update on what is available. Don’t be all money seeking out here, these are treasured values of outmost importance to one who ones them.

People get tagged for this sort of thread and so, you might want to lock it before that happens and you wouldn’t find any luck here.
1255  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nah lack of common sense or greed?? on: July 29, 2023, 11:26:17 PM
Omo eh, this no be lack of common sense or greed matter o, this na better "I too sharp" or "too get sense" dey cause am. Yes o, life hard gor many people for we country and e follow for watin dey make people risk themselves for certain situation but, e no mean say these people them no know watin fit follow to dey rush tanker way get accident and e dey spill fuel. Them dey well aware just that, them no care and no believe say,na them go be the scape goat.
If to say them see am as ticking time bomb, them for stay clear because na gbum o and dry fuel go burn finish normally.

The best people fit do na to dey caution themselves and realise the risk way dey follow crowd or rush. Life too precious to dey waste this way. In fact cef,e just enter my mind now say, e go be better warning if tankers been dey carry picture warnings of these events and how e dey end so,any body way approach tanker way dey spill fuel go know watin en dey put encef into.
1256  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Wetin you for do as a Nigerian? on: July 29, 2023, 10:52:51 PM
You don talk am finish say, you no confirm am if the person don die or not, you only think say e dey possible via say, you observe say them don knack the thief strong thing way fit make am kick bucket.
It's not in your place to take any action. You no fit take action based on suspicion as you never confirm say the thief don die, the thief no be your person, e no die for your hand, 3 no thief for your shop and the closest thing way bring you for the matter be say, you observe a part of watin happen.

So watin you go do be say, you go wait make you get confirmation if the guy kick bucket and na base on the hit way you think say that guy hit am.  If e tur case way them require weakness and you dey called upon, you go talk the past way you see. If them no con give you, Jejely remain your house, no be your matter!
1257  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Does ranking not guarantee post quality? on: July 29, 2023, 10:23:40 PM
I realize that the quality of a post is based on the knowledge of the account owner. But stupid people are still needed to continue the discussion, if everyone is smart then there will be no more discussion. So both are needed.
It's not always ideal to do the name calling.
Having to call some persons STUPID even without making any specification would be disregarding the phases to learning itself. I must su,echo individual here contributes asked in there level of understanding and knowledge on a subject and that doesn't make them stupid. It simply means, they are open to being enlighten the more on the subject and it's your duty to teach to them what they need know. No idea is just about continuation of discussion, it shows a course that needs improving on and not the purpose which you've tagged it.

I suppose you by now based on the content in OP knows well enough that, ranking doesn't get a positive reply to the question tag in your subject.
1258  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is copy trading a viable option for newcomers? on: July 29, 2023, 10:15:39 PM
There are a few things to human nature onesjojkd take cognisance of. One of those is that, it is easier to learn when you just joined up because your mind is open to accepting new knowledge than when you've been around for sometime. This is because, you've got to unlearn what you've learnt and this involves, unlearning a practice that might (and I repeat might because, it doesn't always favour everyone) have proved useful to you to learn something that requires you loosing good money for sometime before you get the hang of it.
It becomes a great discouragement to back away from the practice.

Also, with no prior knowledge to the trading environment, you might find yourself struggling on how to best use the signals or doing any positive evaluation of it when presented with it.

In many ways, copy tading could be bad and I don't advice beginner traders to walk that path but instead, practice trading and analysing on a demo.

I had to check you out and i must say you've created some thread and a particular one with some good content since you joined up and as much as you wouldn't as evident from responses so far, get any much support in the idea your trying to put out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the promotions that goes on here.
You know get to see users talking about there projects other than within the projects thread as, doing so would constitute an off topic response which is liable to being deleted on detection or should it have been reported.

1260  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Examine yourself. on: July 29, 2023, 09:50:52 PM
There s always a need to keep track of the places we've been and where we are. It defines forward Ness or backwardness or if we are just stationary. A lot of us might just be stationary about the things we've learned. Not because we don't realise learning is continuous nor do we not realise the need to keep on seeking more knowledge but, sometimes we humans act like a bulk of it being contented with the little we've acquired but that ought not to be so.

The brain is one part to our human existence that is never filled and bitcoin continues to evolve still more ways or approach to its innovation of which, onenperson can't comprehensively state that they know it all which stresses the need for a continual learning. It refreshes the mind and exercises the brain.
