I'll never support war or killings of innocent people because it's inhumane to target and kill people who have not done any wrong, wars unfortunately should be between trained personals and should have rules of engagement. I know that majority of nations depends on a few powerful nations to supply them killing machines, this is a normal trade, because nations map out a lot of money in their budgets to buy arms and amunitions to protect their territories, so without being biased in this evil trade which every nation participates in, US supplies Israel, with weapons for their forces to fight with, I think that is a normal waepon trade, just like everyother nations do. Perhaps Hamas, should also buy arms from other weapon manufacturing nations and protect their citizens, seeing that it's them that started the offensive in the first place. I'm by no means supporting Israel, if they're targeting Palestinian civilians as alleged.

I empathize with you on what you're saying, most of us went through that stage of expecting our posts to be given merit when we feel that we've really put efforts to make quality posts, but the system doesn't really work that way, you'd have have to be consistent with quality posts and eventually the merit will start to come. However seeing that you're still new in the forum, merit should not be your main focus for now, you should rather concentrate on increasing your cryptocurrency knowledge, with time members will be rewarding your quality posts with merit. It's true that the merit system can not be said that it's fair, because despite the quality of your posts, if no member merits you, there's nothing you can do about it, if you quit it won't affect their campaign earnings. So it's best that you don't worry about getting merit now and try to learn and flow with the discussions

It's really sad what cryptocurrency is facing in some parts of the world, governments are being threatened by the freedom and privacy that these digital currencies and other related currencies beings, so for china, to ban or restrict it's citizens from using usdt, doesn't come as a surprise, since they're not a crypto friendly country. I'm just thankful that the majority of countries appreciates the usefulness of usdt in the crypto space, so the adoption will continue despite the glitches from time to time. Even the US government through their security services have access to monitor activities of usdt in the USA, so there's is interference and china's, is ban, we'll see how it plays out with other world power nations.

Nigeria, na giant of Africa, based on individual levels, every thing wey di OP talk na achievements wey ordinary people and di private sectors de hustle, from music, movie, sports, entrepreneurs to even crypto business, na di private efforts of Nigerians. But if you de talk about di matter for our national levels, Nigeria, still be sleeping giant, because our government need to wake up to dem responsibilities and restore our lost glory to take our position as an active giant. Na for where we get pass mark for our national level? abi na for power supply? Abi na for refinery wey we still de suffer from subsidy matter?  Abi na our naira wey de devalue everyday, wey di purchasing power don drastically reduce? Abi na for security matter? Every administration go enter and give us false hope, wen dem comot for office, di country go de worse off, another one go continue with the same promises.

This is a good move for a Bitcoin holder to take, because by accepting Bitcoin as a payment option, when your customers make payments with it, you're also using the opportunity to accumulate it in readiness for the coming ATH bull run. Although you'd need to purchase your vehicle parts from the manufacturers with fiat currency, so that payments made in Bitcoin by your customers can be solely hodled for bull run, this is just an advice on my part. You however have to consider the Bitcoin high transaction fees, this can be a disadvantage for now since the fees is still quite high, and introducing lightening networks and other alternative means of evading the high fees can be cumbersome, because we don't know for sure when the mempool will dicongest.

I guess that it's not easy to hear about every major hacks in cryptocurrency, as they're occuring everytime, it's fast becoming a normal story to hear that exchanges or wallets have been hacked. I feel that so far it's human intelligence that developed these technologies, it'll also take another human intelligence to compromise the system, sometimes these hacks can even be an inside job, someone that knows their security codes or an ingenious intelligent mind that knows how the system is developed. Anyhow it's a worrisome trend and if it continues to gain ground then it'll drastically reduce the trust in the crypto industry, people will be skeptical about investing their money in any crypto related businesses. So to be on the safer side it's better to keep our coins in a none custodial wallet, instead of centralized exchanges, to minimize being among the victims of scams.

Thanks for listing some habits to avoid if we want to achieve greatness and attain a new financial height in this new year 2024, financial freedom is possible if we have the right mindset and be disciplined to follow success parts.

What I can add to your list is that we must endeavor to live bellow our means or income, if we're able to do this then it'll be hard to become broke. Living bellow our income will afford us the opportunity to save and have investments without resorting to borrowing or begging, example is that we can task ourselves to do DCA method to accumulating Bitcoin. If you're spending according to your income or above your income, it'll be very difficult to have any investments without external help and we should not put all our hope on others because they can disappoint us. Always begin a financial plan with what you have, this is why we must be very prudent in spending so we can save from our income, so any external income will be a support to our 2024 investment plan.

Thanks for your analysis, I specially captured this sentence from your post because it really gives meaning to your perspective of fun and gambling, to you it's expensive entertainment that contains a lot of risks. I can relate to that because certain people can actually be entertained by losing their money, only I used to think that it's only the super rich people that can gamble with such a mindset, but if an average income earner can truthfully gamble without caring whether they win or lose, then it'll truly be qualified as an expensive fun. I guess that is why it's often advice that we should gamble the amount that we can afford to loose, so that the risks of having fun can be minimized.

I believe that inasmuch as it's good to stick to a pertan in trading and follow it through, we shouldn't be too rigid because we might discover midway that we're charting in the wrong part. So what I think is that we should apply caution and patience while making trading decisions so we can get profitable results, I think that in some rare cases that it's ok to follow trends if you must, only that whatever decisions must be carefully thought out. Why I say this is because with the best trading pertans and perfect market analysis and predictions, traders still experience loses, so the trader can sometimes be dynamic and change a strategy when it's absolutely necessary.

In most countries people who work in established companies, do the same 8 or 9 to 5 job routine every week day, I think that is the standard, the difference will be the salaries and job securities. Although in factory jobs The owners tends to exploit their workers who work longer ours for very poor salaries.

I'm self employed, I run a small business and I open shop by 8am and close by 8pm, Monday to Saturday, my business is not stressful, so I find time to do crypto stuff. I spend my Sunday with my family, we go to church in the morning and most afternoons we look for somewhere fun to visit, maybe a cool mall, the beach, visit family and friends, if we're expecting a visit from any of them, then we stay at home.

Most business people in the big cities in Nigeria, likes to hang out after business hours, you'd see a lot of beer and assorted meat and fish berbecue joints, some days I'd have a few drinks and chops with friends and take some home to wifey.

Human needs are insatiable, so the more you aquire the more needs that will arise, so inasmuch as we're alive, we'll always want to accumulate wealth, if for nothing else, just for the fear of the unknown. Although I think that Bitcoin accumulation can only be called addiction if a holder will neglect very important financial needs that arises and still goes ahead to buy Bitcoin, with money that could be used to solve the problem, or if the holder will not take care of their financial responsibilities because they want to continue accumulating. But if a holder can meet basic financial obligations and decides to be putting certain percentage of their income into accumulating Bitcoin for the future, then it can be classified as contentment, although it's important to work out a long term time frame on how to use or enjoy the accumulated ROI.

It's good to be informed about the latest happenings and trends in the crypto space, so investors can be better informed when choosing any coins to put their money in, it's also more important to diligently carry out research before emberking on the journey. The top gainers in the last 24 hours as listed in the OP is not a guarantee that they'll keep pumping and be profitable for investors to rush and buy them, because anything can happen in the coming 24 hours which might change the naretive of their positions. Like you I'll rather stick with  reputable altcoins and Bitcoin that have proven their consistency in the crypto market, knowing that even if they experience price dips that they'll surely pump back with higher ROI.

Most times na di mindsets wey newbies carry enter di forum na im de determine how dem go operate or last for di forum, so if a newbie take small maturity enter di forum, dem go de apply wisdom to de follow as di system be. If dem first understand say first thing first na to gain knowledge, den na to get tolerance to accept every criticism, despite dem best efforts, because dem wan to learn from people wey dem no pay shishi. Secondly make di thoughts of campaign and earning for di forum be motivation for dem to focus on improving demsef with quality posts, no be say dem go want am rush rush. I enter di forum with zero knowledge about cryptocurrency, so I focused on learning , despite whether I receive positive or negative remarks for my posts, because I reason say if I vex comot e no go affect dis people campaign rewards.

Aldo some of our senior ogas dem suppose to de correct newbies with love, no be for only our local board but for di entire forum, so di newbies go de encouraged to continue to de try.

Las las, merit matter na im be di Koko, infact na im be di main ingredient to take give newbies di greatest morale to de active and to de try to make quality posts. E no easy to de put efforts and nothing to show, e de kill morale, no matter di maturity of mind. So if members go de reward newbies with merit, like di boss @Cryptopreneuerbrainboss, e go de very good. I hope say make we get more merit sources for our board, e go encourage newbies to de active and do quality posts.

This is very sad because developers who have the intention to scam investors can have a long term plan to gain trust and when they've reached their expected target they'll just crash everything, while their investors will bear the lose. So it's true that scammers can also follow the due process like genuine developers and fulfill all the KYC protocols, in the end their true intentions will still manifest.

This is by no means underscoring the OP well articulated warning signs that we should look out for when checking if an altcoin is a scam, they greatly help to reduce the chances of involving our hard earned money in scam projects. He has provided us with enough guidelines to carry out research on new projects, so it's left for everybody to decide whether to apply them or use other methods to carry out their research.

It's true that we can liken Bitcoin to fine wine that gets better as time passes, because it has continued to proof it's worth from the time of it's creation, it's value has continued to increase till today. I remember when it came on board as the first digital currency, people were very skeptical about it, many thought that it was a Ponzi scheme or a scam and after sometime it'll vanish with it's investors hard earned money. Today Bitcoin has proven critics wrong, many of them have turned believers and started it's investment, better late than never because they've seen that it's acceptance, adoption and profitability keeps increasing, and they can predict that it will keep getting better as time goes by. Bitcoin investment also gets better and sweeter if kept for a longer time.

If MacDonald, actually came out openly to take sides in a war, then that is a very bad business decision, inasmuch as their products is not specifically made for the country that they're supporting, then they should accept whatever consequences that their actions bring. A multinational foodchain company that has branches in every parts of the world and expect people of different believes and preferences to patronize them should not involve in politics, not to talk of taking sides in a war. With all due respect to the owner and management of MacDonald, I think that suing anybody or organization because people don't patronize them can be the dumbest decision that they'll make in this case.

Loneliness can make people to become addicted to anything that will distract their minds from the cause of their being lonely, there's a whole lot of addictions, alcohol and smoking, pornography, drug, womanizing and a whole lot including gambling. They'll initially engage in this acts as a temporary measure to get over their lose, and as time goes on they'll unintentionally become fully involved and eventually addiction will kick in, and it'll be difficult for them to leave it. Even if they finally overcome the addiction it's likely that they'll find another recreation to engage in to overcome the void that the addiction that they left will cause, in the end it'll be going into another addiction to get over an addiction. So it's best for anyone that is going through loneliness to be strong and disciplined, even if they most engage in gambling or any other activities to get over the pains of loneliness, they most tell themselves that it is temporary and bounce back as soon as possible.

It's possible for him to hit a profit of 8x or 10x with altcoins investment, but let him also understand that it comes with a high risk because chances are that he can lose his capital in the process. So the best bet for him now is Bitcoin, lucky for him we're in the build up to bull run ATH,, so it's price will keep pumping even beyond his target of 12 months. And like you predicted he can expect a minimum of 3x guaranteed ROI with peace of mind, because Bitcoin is the most reputable and reliable cryptocurrency.

It's true that cryptocurrency and stablecoins offers us preferable options for our money, because of the the freedom and privacy that they provides us the holders, although that should not be a reason to discredit the importance of government and banks. The two institutions have been existing before cryptocurrency came on board, and they don't in any way disrupt the activities and usage of cryptocurrencies, so government and banks don't need to stop functioning for cryptocurrency to become more relevant and increase in adoption. Cryptocurrency gives it's holders alternative choice to use for payments and as investment and trading for profit purposes. Also don't forget the risks that's associated with cryptocurrency, it's volatilities and many scams, so we can't blame anyone that doesn't join the crypto bandwagon.

Calling tax as the name of whatever it is that they charge  is suspicious to me, they could give it another name or just call it changes, because I believe that taxes goes to the governments. So if the developers of these projects call whatever they charge as tax, then they're obligated to remit it to the government, if not, then it's a scam, because you can't tax investors and withhold the taxes that they pay, it is criminality. It doesn't matter how legit an altcoin is, collecting charges from investors shouldn't be called taxes, let them find another name for it.
