1261  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop discouraging people from Bitcoin... on: October 03, 2023, 10:58:32 PM
I have noticed something about some people in this forum...

Why is it that everytime a newbie shows his or her interest in trading Bitcoin, some people will always try to discourage the newbie?  You see them saying things like “Bitcoin trading is not for newbies”
Probably users that say such are looking out  for anybody that would want to trade for the first time and instead of jumping into the deep end of the pool, the are saying try the baby pool to accumulate some confidence and experience...then go ahead and trade with the big sharks Smiley

Besides they say experience is the best teacher and if someone learnt the hardway and trying to guide others onto the right track of learning risk management, managing emotions etcetera would we say this is bad advice?? Definitely not!!!

None of us here was born a professional trader, fact is that we all had to start from somewhere. We were all once a newbie, until we started learning and putting in the work.
Totally true, but trading shouldn't have the same story of I lost money before I knew how to trade...let's change the narrative by learning the skill then attack the markets to make some money!

Bitcoin is for everyone, and no one should be left behind.
Thanks.
Indeed it's for everyone but how you choose to get the Bitcoin would tell if you can survive the markets.

As there are multiple ways to get your crypto project to the public, but what are the recommended ways now adays?

The most obvious has to be the use of social media(facebook,x, tik tok etc)

Other unexplored options has to be the use of ads on high-traffic websites like crypto news websites, block explorer websites, or ads on YouTube etc

But when it comes to tapping into the power of this forum, your options range from Signature campaigns, product reviews via beta testing or article reviews, bounty campaigns which is actually a big package of all kinds of social media marketing...

Afaik ones budget will usually determine what options you can explore, but if you looking for a solution to get your project out there good luck hope you found something that will help from the suggestions given on this thread  Cool
1263  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you deal with financial stress? on: October 03, 2023, 09:27:09 PM
Maybe I'm stressing out too much because I'm yet to find proper housing to establish myself again after being away for over a year in the military. I'm generally an anxious person myself, but does anyone else feel the same, and how do you deal with it? How do you stay optimistic?

They say when the going gets tough, the tough get going...

You are not alone buddy, when life gives you lemons make lemonade out of it...things might look like they have reached breaking point but trust me there is always an explored option and keep your head held up high and the breakthrough is bound to happen...if you have family around try reach out to them as this is at chip at your disposal while you look  for proper housing and other resources to help you get things together.


Economic and financial conditions are of course increasingly difficult to predict, many types of investments going bankrupt means we cannot depend on one or two types of investments, continuing to look for business and investment opportunities is important for our finances to continue to improve.
I agree with you!

Reliance on one source of income does put financial stress on you as you can do so little yet demands are high, and the only counter measure is to introduce more streams of income to cushion all this pressure on ones pocket!
1264  Economy / Economics / Re: What would you do in this situation? Invest or save? on: October 03, 2023, 08:35:56 PM
If you have been saving for such a long time to get to $15000 then why stop or giveup now when you can see the finish line Huh

Besides if you change plans in the middle of a mission then am affraid that the long term business plan you have had for a long time might fail too as you can't stick to the initial one !!

Btw if you are short by $5000 then you can keep saving till you have the full amount as you have planned for this and know how long it took you to get here and you won't play around with the business once it takesoff....so I would keep saving to avoid changing my investment plans.

EarnOnVictor you are right on this fraudulent behavior, it might look like a small amount when looking at it from an individual point of view, but when we take into account the number of users that it servers(was serving) it's not less than 20 million dollars begging to be swept off these accounts after they close shop.
Tbh if they wanted to leave with a clean sleeve to their name they would have deliberately asked every one with small amounts to provide addys to receive the satoshis so that they cover fees on the house  Roll Eyes

You probably should set an alarm and add the title of the thread for the reminder, it's very tough to keep up with all these pools without needing a reminder for a couple of them
I don't trust alarms especially with phones of today once it's facing down phone goes straight into silent mode and you miss your submissions....

But I would suggest importing these games into your Google calendar as you get alerts a day before and on the actual day, you are welcome.


Kickoff of match day 2 is any minute from now, and for us playing in the bottom half of the competition means we can play around with the high odds trying to catch up with the 22 points as we have nothing to lose Roll Eyes

Looking for a nice draw against one of these hot favorites, any insights will be highly appreciated lol

1270  Economy / Economics / Re: Do we truly need cbdc when bitcoin already exist? on: October 03, 2023, 07:06:00 AM
CBDC (central bank digital currency) are digital representation of a country's official currency managed and regulated by a central bank.
Are they trying to airdrop some free money on the citizens to stimulate demand, and where is the demand for the CBDC going to come from because these can't compete with our already existing Bitcoin and Altcoins..oops didn't mean to say that !!!

Btw, If it's control they want, why bother introducing a CBDC (central bank digital currency) when they can continue with the fiat system that we already know Huh

Do we really need cbdc now?
The CBDC model clearly looks to be doing the exact opposite of what made Bitcoin popular....
if Bitcoin's current users are not fans of censorship, then how will CBDC succeed with their proposed control  model that the central bank wants over our finances  Huh this model of cryptocurrencies is a nightmare and OG cryptonians won't jump on board mark my words!!!
1271  Economy / Economics / Re: Is academic pursues enough to get incomes? on: October 03, 2023, 04:16:07 AM
I really want know if getting more degrees can make life financially better because I come from a country where their are no job and I have seen people that the only thing they can do in life is to read books, getting more degrees attaining all these degrees yet no still go job for them with good pay. Do think people who read in a region with slim job opportunities are doing the right thing?
The problem could be that the government isn't employing the right people especially that they are suppose to be the biggest employers of a country..

Secondly, if the government isn't proactive in the employment exercise, then the private sector is employing its people using nepotism and not taking into account one's qualifications..but don't give up as skilled labor is what it takes to help in the development of a country and sooner or later the graduates will be called up to fill the void.

Most people who go for more degrees believe they can get better job at the end of the day. People that only go for more degrees in a stare with high unemployment rate are they doing right thing by putting all their focus on academic because this is the only thing they can do best.
And this is were it all goes wrong, without any experience whatsoever, people want to be paid the most money which isn't right...a life hack to this is to forget about the degree to tone down the pride lol, get into the labor force and allow yourself to get the needed experience and see your skillset become the most sort after & money follow you... Slow but steady wins the race.
1272  Economy / Economics / Re: Honda Now Accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum As Payment Methods on: October 02, 2023, 08:20:10 PM
Saw this on X (twitter) and was like wow, what is Elon Musk waiting for? There are  people like me waiting for Tesla cars to start selling in bitcoin before we can give an interest in purchasing it. Lol. Grin

If memory serves me right, Tesla's dropping of bitcoin happened at a time when he was implicating bitcoin mining and its huge carbon footprint which actually caused prices to crash because of his rants that led to temporarily destabilizing some miner operations & I wouldn't be surprised if he had external pressure from the government to drop it...

But now that another car manufacturer has got into this spotlight am certain he would want to steal the headline like he usually does, though he has unfinished business with miners that have gone green and he doesn't want to swallow his words with the 50%+ of miners using cleaner energy..




As the Heading implies. Honda the giant of Japanese automobile now accept bitcoin and ethereum for payment through a third party partnership deal with a blockchain payment system called FCF Pay.
However we interpret this, this is bullish news, and our markets need a break from all the negative news of hacks that have been happening of late that has slowed down the growth of our markets...the revolution must continue.

1273  Economy / Speculation / Re: Michael Saylor predicts Bitcoin can go to $5 million? on: October 02, 2023, 07:45:25 PM
5 million dollars and we are no where near 100k but already dreaming of the millions, besides Bitcoin price doesn't happen without external money being pumped into it...

So million dollar question is where is this money coming from??

And does Saylor have an agenda why his predicting such high prices?? Is this meant to lure new crypto investors by false advertising  Roll Eyes if it is it will hurt our markets...

Nice prediction, and the good part about these is that anybody is free to speculate but the markets have the final say which sucks Tongue

Any other fighter yes the fight can happen for the right cash prize but for a determined Pacquaio hell  No!!!
I know how bad we all would love to see a rematch but against Pacquaio , his thinking twice and this would be team money teams worst wish  especially that Mayweather has that unbeaten run going and wouldn't want to lose it when his career is closely coming to an end and definitely wants to retire a champion!!!

I want this fight to happen and hope no other elements will stop this or Mayweather will agree to this deal so that we can see if Pacquaio could get a revenge or Mayweather can seal the long time discussion about who is the best boxer between him and Pacquaio.
Mayweather is just too elusive, he will probably fake an injury to avoid this fight lol

1277  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin Hacks a double edged sword on: October 02, 2023, 01:58:11 PM
As much as the crypto ecosystem has experienced several hacks over the years which has seen millions of Bitcoins lost to this,  there is actually some good that comes from them besides losing of coins, for example
  • they help to iron out flawed code from wallets etc
  • keep developers on their toes to implement best security measures
  • hacks expose industries that don't employ the right guy for the job as these self taught  nerds think they are fit for the job
  • hacks expose lack of specialisation
  • hacks expose the lack of seperation of power which is why multisig wallets have the go to wallets today

With hacks exposing some of the greed that comes from not employing the right guy for the job, or CEO's giving themselves so much power such as full access to crypto wallets is the  among the reasons millions of Bitcoins & alts have been lost, so is going back to the basics of running a company suppose to be applied to Bitcoin/crypto companies??

Share your opinions what do you guys think for Bitcoin/crypto run companies and the security landscape..
1278  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin be accepted as a dominant currency in the future? on: October 02, 2023, 01:06:30 PM
It is captivating for us all to witness the evolution of a DDC (decentralized digital currency) that has the ability and potential to change the financial world forever but there is a question that needs to be tabled properly for the purpose of awareness and well preparedness for the future and that is "is it possible for BTC to be accepted and adopted as a dominant currency in the nearest future".
Dominant currency means oppressing one other currency and because this gets political to some extent, I don't think we have anybody brave enough to adopt BTC to the high table...unless an economy is collapsing and the government is looking for the next big thing which can come in form of cryptocurrencies (BTC) to help save the economy and continue with trade that can stimulate productivity.

That aside several countries are still trying to steer how to regulate the cryptocurrencies and these actions can crucially impact the value/utility of BTC, well this is what i think.🤷‍♀️
What is your opinion on this topic?
Let's just say cryptocurrencies are still young and new to most users out there...
for now people are still trying to get their heads around and once an understanding is there regulation and general adoption will easily follow  as users learn of the benefits.
1279  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 6 bull run strategies on: October 02, 2023, 10:05:38 AM
_ Even though am a big fan of Bitcoin, it wouldn't make you filthy rich, unless you have a large capital, the real money is in the Alt where the high risk are, just pick the right one.
Crypto investment have drastically changed over the years, and fortunately the first investors that believed in BTC were rewarded handsomely, today it's different ball game as it requires us to use money to make money and the wait is long as we use BTC more of a currency than a store of value.

_ Control your risk; people mostly waste their money gambling on trades that gives only 1:1 reward ratio without remember  every $1 you waste could be $100 during the bull run or a year time.
If making money in crypto was this easy, everyone would have gone all in on it and  will create a problem of a Ponzi scheme as the last person to take money out will be running at a lose as everyone would have withdrawn their over inflated bags.

_ Take profit: if you don't take profit how can you be profitable? Don't be greedy, just take profit.
Not sure if this is a bull run strategy but any small profits taken out do add up over time and hodlers need to do this more often.
1280  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you manage your finances and family if your income is low range? on: October 02, 2023, 09:32:04 AM
There are many people around us, where their income is not enough to manage a family how do you manage your family and economy? There are many people who manage their family very well even though their income is very low in their personal life, how do you manage it?
It starts by knowing how much the family uses in a month that's from utility bills(water, electricity, phone & data),  food, your transport or fuel Bills and if kids are in the picture school fees need to be worked into the calculations then draw up your budget to know how to use available resources.

If one finds themselves in a budget deficit then a side hustle or second job needs to be considered  as these bills won't pay themselves...

This condition is very common and is not something new. Well, I think this is where we need to activate coordination and communication with our wives.
Mature advice right here !!!

Communication is the key to solving these problems, if both husband and wife need to get a job, then let it be so until husband finds a well paying job to get wife off work duty.
