That's just the point! Sometimes I want to compel myself to believe that most people forcefully expose themselves to be scammed. Everyone has guts feeling that alerts us of something but truth remains that sometimes we want to ignore it and do the permissive, especially when our minds are already made up to do it. In trying to go ahead we conjure up all sorts of "what if". Frankly, there are projects with scam well written over them without anyone digging an inch into them in research as to whether they're genuine or not. Yet there are people who still invest in those projects. How such projects get those they scam is a wonder to me.

To start with, Wakanda isn't the first Africa project. There was Dalecoin even before I embraced crypto in 2017. There was also Zugacoin created by Sam Zuga, an African, in 2019 or 2020.

I saw through the smokescreen when the hype for it hit the media but I avoided it as my sixth sense told me something wasn't right. My guts were right. It was the same way I avoided the shitcoin, Zugacoin. It's not as if it's an African thing to have bad projects. It transverses all continents. There are scammers everywhere. BTW, don't sell off what is left. You never can tell if there are going to be novice investors who are definitely going to buy it during the forthcoming bull run in 2024/25

I believe this is a rhetorical question.

😆 You acted like a typical Nigerian there and our way of running away from telling ourselves about death. What is someone mistakenly dying 😆.

This is a big issue with cryptocurrency and I know a lot of this scenario has occured with many hodlers, even in this forum, with those who died intestate. I've heard some make laughable comments as to how they will make sure they reveal their crypto hidings to their loved ones or next of kins before they die as if anyone knows what date they will die. Those who loud the need for privacy are the worse hit on this because they hardly trust anyone with their crypto stuff and wouldn't want to divulge any. It's important to have our crypto hodlings documented somehow so they can be discovered when we pass on.

I like your chose of the three I selected from your post and I believe they will do well because of their peculiarity which will continue to make them be in popular demand. Don't be in a haste to dispose them even if they're dipping now. Be patient.

I think SUI is overrated. Though I've read and heard so much talk about it I wouldn't invest in it, at least not at its current price. With a total supply of 10 billion and at > $1, it's obvious it's over priced and will likely crash; crash even beyond redemption.

You would've done well by supplying a link to the "original" Pepe on the CMC or so. That will enable those interested know easily what you're referring them to and where to go to. By the way, are you be chance referring to PEPE (Ordinals) as the main Pepe? I did check that and discovered to my dismay that the project doesn't have any social media handle, not even a common thing as a Telegram handle.

Yes, it's good not to invest what can jeopardize our peace of mind or render us a financial wreck. The only reason this is sermonized is in case things go wrong as no one has a full grip of what happens in this industry. It's not as if it's always awry. Those who invest small, fearing they will be wrecked if things go sour should also not regret not investing more if things go well. No regrets in this industry. Whatever happens should be seen as a lesson and not as a moment of regret or get bloated with excitement.

Anyone who sees Bitcoin more as an asset (I'm one), of course believes it will continue to fluctuate. It's the fluctuation that majorly gets the attention of people to invest in it. Anyone who argues otherwise aren't true to themselves.

It really doesn't matter what our decision is here on how to treat Bitcoin, the market takes care of that. Honestly, I think Bitcoin is both – asset and technology. Bitcoin is decentralized and can't be under the control of anyone.

The only place I think this can work is in the principle of sowing/giving. It's a biblical principle. Even in this principle, where one gives or sows is also important because not all "soil" is fertile. A man who cheerfully gives in the right direction or place will receive bountifully. This doesn't apply to giving foolishly. The way it works is that one spends on others who later return same good gesture in bigger measure to one.

The harassment don too much now for Naija. E come be like sey those police officers don forget wetin happen during endsars. The next time wey dis thing go happen e fit to worse pass endsars wan wey happen for 2020 because frustration and hunger don wet ground now. Anoda thing be sey e good as you nor begin record those police guy brutalizing that young man as dem don see you already otherwise na to seize your phone and assault you remain. Una see as Seun Kuti take deal with dat police guy yesterday and how Nigerians rally support for the poor police guy. Tomorrow now, na the same police guy go assault civilians.

Ok, Dr.Bitcoin_Strange has corrected that. It was actually in 2021, not last year.

Nah, I don't see Bitcoin surpassing its present ATH of $68k+ let alone hitting $100k this year. It will indeed be a huge miracle if that ever happens. The >$100k will happen after halving in 2024/25.

Whatever high-high we get in 2025 should form the new ATH and with assurance birthed from experience, I know it won't be anything around $80k. We should be talking about a figure that's more than double of the last ATH.

I ain't saying that good natured people don't exist. Of course they do, though in minute proportion to the world population. What I'm saying is that I don't think anyone will want to make money only to concentrate spending it on others and neglect themselves. How does that work?

The doctor you mentioned who didn't have the habit of making his fees/bills a priority, it didn't mean he didn't spend on himself. For all we know, he might even have got regular aids from charitable organizations that offset medical bills for indigent patients.

I know we're just making discussions around family life, away from the kernel of discussion, I had to put that hypothetical area of your comment in bold to highlight something. The point of my concern there is this – married people with children still get burdened by parental responsibility whether their children are physically present with them or not. Only those who aren't responsible see their absence from their children as relief. Family life isn't piece meal. However, I still reason with the perspective you've shared.

I think it will be appropriate at a time like this for BestChange to mandate its signature participants to have a wallet change to SegWit. I'm all for anything that will make this Blockchain nightmare go away.

With all that you've listed, one would quickly conclude that you aren't new to this industry though you're a newbie here, except you lifted this from somewhere. Otherwise, I want to acknowledge that you made salient points here with that list. 

That attribute will properly fit a trader than an investor. Those buying now, not minding the entry levels, and hodling for the halving next year are the investors.

It was obvious you had enough idle time then and that was why you could attempt it. Otherwise, I would think it's a fruitless venture trying to memorize seed phrases. I hardly take note of what constitutes my seed phrases once I've them written out on paper. I'm not that paranoid about stuff like that because I believe one can't be too careful in life. I've seen those who guarded theirs meticulously but still misplaced them or got hacked.

Now, you speak from experience! You didn't lie on this. Family distractions are even enough to  discourage one from going into another unsolicited brain tasking adventure in the first place when paper work can easily save the day.

I think it will go further than $120k, considering how well its 2021 ATH went vis-a-vis what it was in 2017 bull run.

In my books, I think it did well. We didn't even stay in the bear region like we did after the bull run of 2017. Post 2017 was hellish for Bitcoin and its hodlers as it did cause a great scare for many, plummeting to $3,200 from a height of $18k+ and that lingered for over two years.

Sadly, I think the less volatility even makes it less exciting for many; especially those who trade it.

You can't genuinely say you blame them, can you? Pre-2017, and even in 2017, so many people got that lucky and made piles of money from investing in alts than they did in Bitcoin. Virtually every altcoin mooned in late 2017 to the first quarters of 2018 before so many of them crashed to death. That was my first experience and I saw first hand what a bull rally was like. I got deceived thinking every altcoin was worth investing in and that hit me very hard later. I lost money like many greenhorns then. Many of us learnt that lesson and moved on. Bitcoin remains the surest long term investment. It's slow and steady with less risk than altcoin investments.

I don't believe this. Perhaps you didn't word it properly. I think it should've been better worded as – Use your money to benefit others rather than AND yourself. Who makes money for others? I don't think there's anyone who does that. Even the philanthropists we know, they first made money for themselves before spreading out to help others.

Honestly, I don't know why Dogecoin has still remained undervalued to this point and day. Why aren't people using it for payment when they've its option for payment. On the few occasions I had transacted using it, it was stress free and transaction speed was great. Look at what those of us utilizing Bitcoin for transaction have been passing through over a week now, with so many transactions still pending. This delayed transactions aren't doing Bitcoin advocacy any good at all. It will discourage many from investing in it if it continues.

The question is – Who considers bounty hunters as investors? To the best of my knowledge as someone who was once a firm believer in bounty hunting, it's obvious that project teams don't have the same conceptual belief as you do on this. I say this because if a business or project considered anyone an investor they would treat them well. Project teams (a very good number of them) don't treat bounty hunters well. They renege on even sending the bounty rewards as promised once campaigns are over. I'm a victim of that and I know a good number of users here must've tasted that bitter pill too.
