141  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think? on: April 06, 2024, 11:36:09 AM
Is this good advice for those who can't afford a hardware wallet?

Using a Bitcoin Electrum wallet or other, disconnect from the internet before generating a new seed and never connecting to the internet again.

Until you are ready to sell everything in that wallet.

Is this practice similar to using a hardware wallet? This advice came from a man I know who said to have been keeping his BTC since 2013 in the same manner, he said the internet/online is the culprit or enemy of every crypto wallet.

If you're investing much on bitcoin and you're yet complaining of the unaffordability of buying a single hardware wallet, then that means you're not giving the necessary attention to what can jeopardies your asset, even though electrum wallet is not a bad option once its on airgapped device.

It all depends , because if you're still using electrum wallet, its something different from hardware wallet because it does not have a physical showcase as how you could move, store , use and apply its uses on any of your interested device, however, there are alternatives as well to using a hardware wallet as you have given one example already, one can make use of a paper wallet too, or anything that has to do with a wallet types which falls under a cold storage.

143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Have you consider yourself, the family and gambling? on: April 05, 2024, 05:30:37 PM
Lets take a look at the family aspect of everyone gambling and try to give our individual opinions concerning these questions i will like us to discuss from regarding how we are gambling and how that can affect the family for the benefits of those already having one and those that will soon be in the league of a family man, lets make it as simple as possible in giving our earnest contributions on our take from this following questions i have for us.

1. At what age will you allow your child to start gambling? that is if you will even allow for that at all?
2. At what age do you see yourself quit gambling? that is also if some of us are going to ever do so?
3. Ever since you have started gambling, have you ever achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on you?
4. Would you have missed out on anything if you were not a gambler?


144  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Is this the beginning of crude oil by-products price dropping? on: April 05, 2024, 04:53:50 PM
I read last month that it is possible for PMS (petrol) price to reduce this month if the refinery in Port Harcourt is fully functional. This month has just started and we are looking forward for good news about this.

What have they been thinking over the years without realizing how much they have been loosing when a whole country cannot make the utility of its old and existing refineries but instead go to other countries to do so, are we going to gain from such deals as if it were to be all done by ourselves.

Today, I have just read that Dangote refinery is now selling AGO (diesel) as diesel price plummeted. Diesel sold at ₦1900 in few weeks back but mostly selling between ₦1600 and 1700 per liter. But as Dangote refinery begin diesel sales, it started selling it at N1225.per litre.

Dangote is not only a business man, he is also a politician, you cant except someone like him who have already been suffering a lot from the downgrade on naira value to also loose more in bringing down the price of the markets on what he sells, he wouldn't do that, instead work on anything that comes on his own advantages.

145  Other / Meta / Re: Is gambling problem or anything related to addiction is an off-topic? on: April 05, 2024, 04:18:44 PM
Recently my thread related to sign of early gambling addiction thread was moved to off-topic. I’m not questioning the mods decision but I want to clarify what’s real rules on what should be on topic discussion on gambling discussion board.

I noticed that there have been more and frequent threads that talks about gambling addiction when there are more other aspects of discussions they can create threads on, we just don't have to keep repeated a particular topic or aspect in a discussion when there should be more other relevant contributions or post we can make in which have not been discussed of recent by other members, so i think the moderators are sing more of these and such has given them the urge to make decision on taking some of these related topics to off topic as they may applies.
146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Decentralized vs Centralized Gambling....Which do you prefer? on: April 04, 2024, 01:46:52 PM
This have to depends on what we want, if we are interested in giving out private informations to their platform and don't mind the consequences that may come after, we can decide to use a centralized gambling platform which requires for KYC, but when we see that we cannot afford to loose our privacy with the level of the informations they will be requesting, we can then maintain with the use of a decentralized gambling platform, this should at least lessen the stress many gamblers are having as difficulties in using a KYC gambling platform.
147  Other / Politics & Society / Re: No matter what don't let your life be controlled by three things on: April 04, 2024, 12:10:01 PM
We have to learn on how to move on in life, we may have met with different kinds of people whom impacts on our lives left a deliberate scar we are still suffering from, we shouldn't allow these same people take control of our life, also, we are expected to take life easy on ourselves, there's no need of making rush in other to make it in life, some of us have engaged in many attrocities at the cause, if we let the need for money got on us, we are going to commit and do things which we are not supposed to, we need patience, self control and hardwork, all these can help us become whom we want to see ourselves turn into in life, if we give it every demanding time and sacrifice for the achievement to come in due time.
148  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How to strengthen our own Naira against other currencies on: April 04, 2024, 10:44:54 AM
The government have alot to play as role in achieving on this, improving the economy demands using a specific strategy as approach to see that thing works as expected for the developments and growth of the economy, government have to take some strategic decisions on how they could increase productivity of that particular country, encourage for the use of locally made products and also help the situation faced by all those involved in this local productions, make available several opportunities for the people to participate in the community development initiative, help provide enough resources needed in providing jobs for the people, reduce hunger and poverty rate, have budget on every citizens and deal with corrupt practices.
149  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bull run again, huh on: April 03, 2024, 11:45:35 AM
On this forum, I found out some information, and seriously want to ask it here.
What is a realistic expectation from the bull run, given  the last one in March 2021, Bitcoin hit  $61,000 and fell down to 31k about two couple of months later... It rose later on, amazingly though. But is this price fall normal in the bull run?? What is a helpful tip here.

This 2024 halving may have a little change in dimension in such a way that we can have the bullrun new all time high at anytime, since we had it begun earlier this year and we also experience a new all time high right before the halving, there is more expectations to see that the market rises to $120,000 all time high before the end of this year, once all these had been achieved, the following year may proceeds with the bear market market.   
150  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Seed phrase backup against natural disaster areas on: April 03, 2024, 10:16:08 AM
It is important to backup your seed phrase but some people said the backup is not good online but which is true because we have seen how hackers was able to see some people seed phrase online and steal their coins.

Its a very bad idea to use any online means to save our seed for backup, they are centralized and anyone can spy into their server and fish out users informations and sensitive data against them, this will be the only means i can refer someone to use in saving his seeds for backup as already discussed on several occasions by some forum members.

Storing seed phrase with washers

Seeds backup tools
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5263482.0

Additional security to your seed phrase
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230920.0

But I have been thinking recently that how can people in countries with natural disaster be able to backup their seed phrase offline?

I want to believe that not all countries are being affected and for the ones affected, such is prone on specific areas, most importantly, we have to consider an alternative means to using any storage means, that is, we should have at least two means where we have our seeds backed up, but using online storage is not a recommendation to consider.
151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is lack of proof a problem for you or not? on: April 02, 2024, 04:13:42 PM
Have you verified that the online casino you are using now is verified? How can you tell that its verified because there is no proof of verified shown to the public.

Or maybe we should also consider some instances whereby you could have made your necessary verifications to ascertain your fact about a particular gambling casino to later discover that they are not up to the required standard for you to entrust your fund with them, you cant use the license approval for operation as a proof on what to take in trusting a gambling platform, though it can only be part of the requirement we may choose to use as criteria's in selecting for the best.
152  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Na only the government go fit help us to make cost of things come down on: April 02, 2024, 03:30:06 PM
People will not always coordinate themselves as long as they have the privilege of not being controlled, all because they wanted to take advantages of making money on others, same way the same people will experience with their own encounter with the other people when they also go to buy goods, making profits is not idea that we have to do such in an illegitimate ways, we need to considers others and be sincere, you cannot imagine a trader having an old stock in the market and selling at the current inflated price because of making profits, before the general price of items in the market could come down, the government needs to boost the economy and handles some important aspect of it that might cause a sustained inflation.
153  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Tax invasion charges: Can Nigerian government win Binance? on: April 02, 2024, 02:48:12 PM
Does Nigeria even have the legal jurisdiction's right to serve Binance that is not registered with the country simply because the citizens patronise it?

Yes, they have the right and such is part of what prompted them to place the ban they just did on accessing their platform, but they cant mandate the closure of users account with Binance or force them on releasing their KYC for them.

Let me assume that the Nigerian government are just waking up from their long time slumber, they intend to incentivize from binance and task them on every Nigerian users on their platform, and they shouldn't have taken such route used, secondly, Nigeria is not the only country to first ban the use of Binance exchange, so many other countries have done same in other for them to be able to tax their users if they agree on terms and conditions with binance or rather create their own exchange or award such to other company to operate and they receive tax from them, Nigerian government could have legally and officially dealt with the issue by communicating Binance before taking any of their actions against them.
154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does gambling excites you ? on: April 01, 2024, 04:41:09 PM
So many gamblers have seen gambling as part of what makes their day a colorful one regardless of whether they win or not, gambling already have been seen as a means of having fun, it brings about exciting moments altogether, we gambles and also enjoy doing it because we are best at what we do, some also target special days or seasons for their gambling experience in a new dimension just as we have with the easter season whereby you discovered that some gamblers already planned on this occasion how they could gamble at the course of the celebration.

By granting people the power to be in charge of their finances through non-custodial wallets, and offering an alternative to centralized systems, Bitcoin carries with it the hope for a more equitable and inclusive future.

Yes, we cannot pretend that we have not seen so many positive impact of bitcoin in our lives, you can imagine that from the way people all over the world are trying to adopt for the use of these digital currency because of its many benefits that it serves, we have the financial freedom, profitable investment and a secured means of having our assets stored, its all about financial freedom with bitcoin in a decentralized network.

158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: House always wins? The case of Trump Plaza. on: March 30, 2024, 03:45:56 PM
Good afternoon to all of you. I hope you are all having a lovely Easter and Ramandan.
The other day I was reading around Wikipedia about gambling and through my casual investigation I realized the celebrity and real state billionaire Donald Trump was also within the business of casino and luxurious resorts in the United States.
Donald Trump is specially famous not only because he managed to win the presidency of the United States, but also because of the numerous companies and enterprises he has got himself into, in the case the business of casinos.

What caught my attention about his casino is the fact it seems not to have been in the mind of the Trump organization to save the casino from its end (in comparison to other successful resorts) and it was actually demolished in the end.
One must wonder what happened for a casino of this level and category to get in bankruptcy?
Do you think this is one of the few cases when the house did not win or perhaps it had something to do with factors external to the casino snd it's management?
Have you ever heard about casinos this big failing to the point they need to be completely demolished before? Because I have not.




Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Plaza_Hotel_and_Casino

Quote
On July 12, 2014, it was reported that the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino would close on September 16, 2014, if a buyer was not found, putting an estimated 1,000 employees out of work. In early August 2014, Donald Trump filed a lawsuit requesting his name be removed from the facility, because it had fallen into disrepair, in violation of the licensing agreement for his name.

Trump Plaza closed permanently on September 16, 2014. This was the fourth Atlantic City casino to close in 2014, after the Atlantic Club, Showboat, and Revel. The closure left approximately 1,300 employees out of work.  

There could be many reasons for the closedown of a gambling casino, some people may see it as a non profitable business anymore and thereby close down the casino for other thing, some may consider their reputation and what others may say concerning what they have as an establishment in other not to make such tarnish their reputation s well as been a source of weak point for their opponents to strike at them, so i will not like to adopt the fact that it was the loss on house edge that caused this closedown.
159  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: My motive for joining the forum on: March 30, 2024, 03:14:04 PM
Lately I have succeeded in buying some Altcoins which I was still not satisfied since I come to know the forum which was built for bitcoin and I don't have any bitcoin.

Many have made this kind of mistake before, starting with altcoins when they would have gone for the right coin which is bitcoin as a newbie.

I was then moved to acquire some bitcoin but I was made to understand that I will cost me more than a million naira to buy 1btc.

Eventually it does not have to be that one have up to such amount before he can made an investment in bitcoin, even with at least a minimum of what you can afford will be enough in making investment in bitcoin starting from $1 and above

All I need is proper guidance as to also benefit from this invention. I don't know if, it is still time to buy BTC?. What other things can one do to earn from btc.?

You can buy bitcoin now, earn from it buy just holding for some time, that alone is profitable which requires no trading experience from you.

I had some bitcoin at https://wallet.bitamp.com/#/login.html
I used tor to login and the balance is zero, my money is not there and transaction history show no outgoing payments.

I've never used this kind of wallet before, so i don't know if its a custodial or non custodial wallet, but either of the two, you can always track the record of transaction on your wallet address on the block explorer in other for you to see when and which address receive your fund, except you're not importing the exact wallet that has the funds in it, its rare that you just wake up and your assets disappeared except if someone share the same login details or keys with you, in which the record on transaction history should be there.
