1401  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Difference between crypto and cryptocurrency on: March 29, 2023, 09:21:08 PM
Is there a difference between both terms?
There is a difference between both terms but the people who concern themselves with this difference are more interested in English Language and communication than Cryptocurrency. But effective communication is signified by understanding, and if you say "crypto" to someone and they understand you, you have effectively communicated even without saying the full and specific word. You mostly use the full word in formal conversations and to newbies who do not understand when you say "crypto".

Also, every sector has it's own terminologies that is approved for use within it's space, and "crypto" has grown to become accepted as one of the terminologies in cryptocurrency.
1402  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any casino site offer Ludo game? on: March 29, 2023, 09:05:06 PM
I have not found such ludo game in casino sites.  Can anyone find a casino site where i can play ludo but bet with bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies? Then it will be more fun for me.  I think it's more fun than other gambling games because it has to be played with your critical  Brain.
This is an interesting discussion, Ludo is an enjoyable game and will be a great option for some crypto casino's to include in the games they offer.

 I just checked and found out that because the origin of the game is Indian, It is being offered for play by some Indian casino's although they do not accept payment in cryptocurrency yet.
Quote
Ludo is one of India’s most popular board games, and you can play Ludo with real money at desi online casino sites

1403  Economy / Economics / Re: #Quittok: Desire for positive work environments and greater work-life balance on: March 29, 2023, 11:18:03 AM
Would you share the moment you quit your job online for the whole world to see?
I will not because it is pointless to me. Many things do not need to be posted on Instagram, Twitter, snapchat, Tiktok, Facebook, WhatsApp or any other social media that people post updates about their life for an uncontrolled audience to see. Gen Z's and some late Millennials will be susceptible to this trend, but the older generation understand more the importance of privacy.

Assuming you are an employer, would you hold this against a prospective employee if you saw a video of them quiting their job and making a video for the whole world to see?
Yes of course, I will know that you can also repeat the same thing whenever you decide to quit your job. And because of how quick people are to jump to conclusions, it may just be assumed by whoever watches the video that my work environment is bad whereas you may have your own personal reasons.
1404  Economy / Economics / Re: Is some certain lifestyle a waste of money and time ? on: March 29, 2023, 11:00:18 AM
Do you think my friends' lifestyle is a waste of money and time ? How much do you spend on such gatherings on average ?
While such gatherings and meet ups are important for bonding to create better relationship, If you are not comfortable with how much money you spend on such occasions, you can always politely excuse yourself from these meet ups for your personal reasons. Everyone has different levels of responsibility, to your friends, their responsibilities financially may be lesser than yours and maybe they have already settled them.

If you have pressing responsibilities that require money, it will not be wise to be engaged in any form of unnecessary meeting that will take money out from your pocket. If you have settled most of your financial responsibility for you and your family, you can allow yourself to enjoy your money a bit with your real friends, money sometimes do not matter, but relationships that are built and memories shared.

I second you on this mate, the situation with chelsea shows the club need help, anything that can be done to revive the ones so vibrant team.
But here is another issue, Potter is not admitting that he's the problem of chelsea, he ones said that Chelsea was already in deep mess before he joined the club as their manager.
Judging by this, it could be a difficult situation for Chelsea,, but then,. I am hoping they find the best solution to their problems, Chelsea have never performed this badly in all the football seasons I've followed up on.
We may be surprised how Chelsea will play next season, Every club usually has a bad period and maybe it is just Chelsea's turn of things. I have been thinking that Graham Potter may not be so bad, Maybe he just joined the club at a really bad time and unfortunately he is taking the blame for it all. He is still fairly confident that Chelsea can win the Champions League, such a dream! and a pity for him and Chelsea supporters that believe him.

There is no hope for Chelsea in the premier league.

Scotland 1 vs 0 Spain
Scotland now two goals ahead with Mctomminay making use of the opportunity that Scotland were able to create to double their lead and advantage against Spain. Spain now has more work to do to be able to turn this game around against the home team. Scotland have been all around impressive, the way they have been able to put pressure on Spain and not let them play their usual midfield dominating game.

mozambique - senegal
Senegal secure their place in the next African cup of Nations with a Slender lead against Mozambique, they still have a few games, but qualification is already sure for them. It's been a long time since I watched Sadio Mane play for Senegal after missing the world cup. He was not very impressive to me maybe mostly because he is just returning from injury, he held on to the ball at times when he should have passed the ball and missed a very good chance to double their lead in the last final minutes of the game with a free header. Well based on his status, I am sure that the Senegalese supporters will overlook any of his excesses in the game.

My sincere love and thanks to everyone. You have given me good advice. I chose electrum wallet especially on your advice.
You do not just need knowledge on where to keep your investment safe, but also how to ensure that it is safe.

Using an electrum wallet or even a Hardware wallet will increase the safety of your coins, but to guarantee safety, you need to also understand and know how to keep your bitcoins safe.

Some few tips are;
- Any device that has your Electrum wallet which you have chosen should be kept and used privately, that is avoid trusting people with it.
- Be careful of links that you click while connected to the internet on the device that has your Electrum wallet.
- Trust no one with your seed phrase.
1409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can a casino ever run without the government's awareness? on: March 28, 2023, 05:05:27 PM
Is it possible to run a decentralized gambling platform? I know that all popular gambling platforms have no choice but to be transparent to the law to have a steady business running,
Gambling platforms have to be transparent to the law too if the owners have plans to create a long term business. Saying you want to run a casino or gambling platform without government awareness is the same as wanting to run a casino or gambling platform without proper licensing and documentation. If you run a gambling platform to avoid to the government (decentralized gambling), that can only work for a short time away from the eyes of the government, but it is not sustainable, and your business may just be shutdown just when you are about doing well.

Guinea Bissau(0) - (1)Nigeria
Super Eagles which was one time African champion could not win Guinea Bissau in their first game and struggled to survived in the second leg today. I was really ashamed of the match. I don't think Super Eagles can go far in the tournament. They can't impress anyone again.
If we had not had the penalty, the game would have ended goalless, it is what this result means. We played better than the home game but still had the same challenge of scoring goals. Even players that use to be impressive before when they just started are now playing selfish and bullshit football. We are lucky to be be topping the group with Guinea- Bissau following closely. José Peseiro has to do a better job with our super eagles because their performance is not yet satisfactory.

We will play against Sierra Leone next before we meet Sao Tome and Principe for the final game to determine if we will play in the AFCON or not. Before those games, we have to become used to scoring goals again.

The black stars on the other hand were lucky to have gotten an equalizer in the second half after Angola scored from the penalty, they maintain their place in top of the group.
1411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 QUALIFIERS. on: March 27, 2023, 05:05:37 PM
The supper angle did not have pitch malfunctioning since the Abuja national stadium is up to international standard and approved by FIFA,  so I can't ascribe supper eagle losing to the field condition I watched the match live, and the Nigeiria team were playing like over feed babies.
Generally the standard of pitch in Africa is low, but that is not the reason we lost the first leg. In this second leg, the Nigerian team have played pressing football from the start of the game to the end of this first half, we were lucky to win a penalty that Simon Moses was able to convert to goal. We had another very good chance were Chukwueze and Osimhen were against two defenders but Chukwueze decided to be stingy with the ball and went ahead to try his luck playing the ball off target. Had he passed the ball, Osimhen who was perfectly placed would have scored.

Passes from Iwobi have been very off target, this is not the Iwobi that we know from Everton.

I dey understand say this people dun confess say dem dey buy this money from banks but no be the same banks wey dey say dem no get cash. Shey una dey see the country we dey inside, no be everything wey dey blame government. Shall how una see the development, e good as EFCC dey go after this POS businesses or you dey feel say na another misplaced priority?
Normally na this kind things i know say go dey sup because citizens dey sabi take advantage of each other for this country cun still dey blame government. We nor dey help ourselves. Since the money scarcity wey POS operators observe say the thing dey to their advantage, and some kind people for banks sef dey benefit somehow as dem go dey sell the money for only POS people, I know say even after the government go release the money, these banks go hoard am make dem still fit dey sell small.

Many people dun talk say dem nor go forgive all this POS people as dem dey do wicked this period with their business. The thing nor go fit remain like this forever, hopefully in a month's time, this matter go dun pass.

Big fight this weekend as Anthony Joshua takes on Jermaine Franklin.
source
Who would you bet on?

AJ in his fight with Usyk was slow and not aggressive enough. In the second fight, I expected him to do better than the first fight, but it was almost the same showing. I hope he has learnt some lessons from that defeat and improved his fighting technique. It's been long that AJ has enjoyed victory, he lost two fights to Usyk. I am scared for AJ because his career could most likely end from this fight if he losses to the American Jermaine so I expect he will be putting in his best because a win in this fight for him will make some other fights more possible, fight with Dillian Whyte and Deontay Wilder which they have plans for. For Jermaine, this is a big fight for him, he will not make things easy for AJ even though he is the underdog in this fight. I still will bet on AJ to win, he really needs this victory, maybe that will make him aggressive.

1414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 26, 2023, 06:43:58 PM
Well he have been rambling about he never dealt with the situation like Spurs in his managerial career so he has been very unhappy recently.
Frustrated is more like the word, he was very frustrated to have spoken about his players like that. I think he is ready for whatever the club decides, whether to keep him till the end of the season or sack him immediately. If they decide to Sack him before the Premier resumes from the international break, I am very sure that Conte will have no problems getting a new job maybe in EPL or another league, he is a good coach with a good record and maybe if he has a team where the players are less selfish and have fire, he will do better.

Some coaches have been linked to the job at Tottenham with Mauricio Pochettino and Julian Nagelsmann topping the list. I personally do not feel that the problem is with the mangers between Tottenham has always been this club, there is just something that that club needs, but first I think starting with a change in manager can help, but a whole lot other things need to be changed and improved on for that club to do better.
1415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chasing looses Vs Finding closure: Any difference? on: March 26, 2023, 02:35:56 PM
I really need a clarification on this. Is chasing looses in gambling same as looking for closure because i recently read an article on reddit where the poster said that he will gamble until he wins just to look for closure.
He needs closure after a loss and he decides the best way to do so is by pursuing his losses, that is a bad decision already in itself. Gambling unfortunately does not know who needs closure or not, gambling shows no mercy and cares less for someone who has even lost, he will keep loosing until he understands that closure is gotten by accepting losses made already and not chasing after them in gambling. If he decides to keep chasing closure by trying to win, he will loose and simply become frustrated or even depressed by his actions.
1416  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why you should trade reviews of crypto YouTubers with caution on: March 26, 2023, 01:52:16 PM
And YouTubers are still paid by certain coins to promote it. As outlined in my topic, it's a conflict of interest and coins are often shilled, where no neutral information is provided (only make coin xy look more favorable) and luring viewers into buying such coins.

While this is still ongoing on YouTube I think a social platform that calls for more concerned at the moment is TikTok. You could see this shilling activities increasing on the app and while that of YouTube is properly arrange, TikTok doesn't care they just let it out there with the tending sounds and you get to see them automatically on your FYP (For you page). It's annoying because you didn't ask for this videos but because you're interested in crypto related content, they keep popping up on your FYP.

It was worst during the bull market although it has reduced now and we all know the reason why. It is because the whole market is bearish so there isn't enough spare money left for people to throw at this project they shill so it won't be profitable shilling at this time of the market. Immediately the market turns bullish again we'll begin to see this videos all over the web.
The caution not to follow reviews of people online is not just applicable to YouTube as you have mentioned. Some years ago YouTube had a large gathering of Influencers, and although these influencers still are in the platform, some others old and new have joined other social media platforms like Tiktok, Instagram, twitter etc, have large followers there and are now being sort after by the creators of these coins to promote their coins on these platforms for an agreed price.

In general we should be careful of reviews that you get online, many are biased because the promoters are being paid for it.

                            Paraphrasing
People who paraphrase are under the pressure to impress with their writing style. The intention is usually to attract merits or make one seem like a good poster when they are not. Paraphrasing is equivalent to stealing someone's work.

                                                         Spamming
Some newbies who do not go through forum rules may not have a proper idea of what spamming is, even some old members spam some mega threads to meet up post count, that is highly not advisable.

                             Scamming
 Scam should be avoided because it's one of the things forum forbids, and also be aware of scam.
The forum is a platform to learn, but everyone is not here to learn. As a member of this forum, you have to be cautious and careful with other forum members especially those that will send you private messages. Not everyone has good intentions here so you should be careful who you choose to trust. Before you are scammed, your trust is usually gained. If you easily trust, you will easily be scammed.

What the f*ck did Croatia just do.After a spectacular second night for betting where all games came as expected Croatia got and drew at their home field in front of their fans against Wales.This is not a great start to their Euro 2024 campaign ...
Very unexpected, if for anything, I expected Croatia to increase their advantage like Spain did in the final minutes of the game, they did the opposite and conceded.

Talking about Spain, it was a good game and an even better game for Joselu, who came in as a substitute for Alvaro Morata in the 81st minute on his first opportunity to represent his country and he did so beautifully scoring two great goals some minutes later to ensure that Spain sealed the victory. It is the sort of debut every player wishes for.
1419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current Topic: African Players Discussion. on: March 25, 2023, 09:20:31 PM
Nigeria can play very well and win possession but when it comes to netting the post, this becomes a big problem for them. I don't know why it is always the same old thing repeating  itself. Our superstars will shine in their clubs but come down home to mess things up.
The sense of patriotism is low, these players know that they cannot afford to get injured while on international duties, so it does not ruin the place they have with their clubs. Low patriotisms means less hard work on the pitch. If you watch how Croatia plays, you will know that these players love their country and want to represent their country well whenever they have the chance. We can say that the state of the nation is affecting the National team.

Our players held the ball for too long sometimes, we need to move the ball around quickly and be able to hit the net whenever we have a chance to, this should be our lesson for the next game.

Also our fan base need to get creative with some new songs to cheer the players up. That our regular soundtrack that has been the same for more than a decade needs some changes to me, it is becoming annoying and terrible to listen to.

 I hope other newbies like me can learn something on this and don't make mistake.
This post is relevant not just to newbies but to everyone.

 We often overlook somethings and feel that maybe just one time will not be enough to cause damage, I have heard people say, is it not just one time? but that is not always so, just one time is enough for challenges to follow. In some cases, slight mistakes and things that you over look can really cause you a lot of pain and losses, like letting someone plug a USB device to your PC, or even allowing someone to surf on your Personal computer. While surfing, the person may click some links without caution because it is not their computer, and if someone plugs a USB device to your personal computer even for a minute, you may have no idea the malware or virus that will enter your PC via that means.
