For real, instead of this scammers going around look for who to scam why not get a good job that pays daily or monthly for themselves. Job full everywhere na lazy person go prefer to sitdown one place dey scam people.
Everyone should be careful oh, now wey everybody dey hustle for their December funds. Everyday na new things dey come scammers ready to scam oh.
And now the new method is they have converted that scamming method to begging, now that Mark has bought whatsapp and whatsapp is no longer private, the reason I brought this whatsapp matter here is that scammers are hacking through peoples whatsapp now using QR scan code or link device and they will start begging for money using your whatsapp, most people have fallen victim to this and it is not funny. Why will a normal human being with his right senses decide to hack peoples whatsapp and be begging for money. Make we dey careful make we no go fall into the hands of scammers
That's just the stupidity of everything, I mean people actually do the wrong stuff for the right reason all the time, it's as if doing the right thing is really hard and way beyond realization, but not actually true as these wrongful deeds are sometimes more stressful and time consuming. Just this case of hacking Whatsapp and beg for money, I mean that's a typical lazy man mentality because someonw who really wants to build something for himself won't actually go down that lane at all even if the person no get money at all.

1524  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What can 1 Bitcoin buy in your country? on: October 25, 2023, 10:33:15 AM
Currently in my country the price of Bitcoin is a very huge sum of money and it is worth 27 million naira and this can buy a house, a car, etc.
The house is worth 19 million naira while the car 3.7 million naira. One bitcoin in my country can be used to start up a small business like super store, sales of fruit or perishable goods. That can in turn produced more income, to buy more assets.

I think the current price of Bitcoin today is way beyond that amount you are actually specifying due to the recent pump in price. As for today the current price of 1Bitcoin is  Nigeria way beyond 27million if you actually want to sell off in any CEX or DEX in the crypto space.


That's a whooping sum of 44million naira and that's almost twice of the actual price you stated and this could even buy more assets here in Nigeria.
Well  i think Bitcoin is set to even soar higher but I think with the current price today of worth of about 44million naira, 1 Bitcoin can certainly guarantee you a life of luxury by acquiring a 5 bedroom duplex and a bmw car of worth millions of naira.

Two in-form teams failed to meet. Lens drew 1-1 with PSV at home. Of course this result is a success for PSV. If I remember correctly, Lens finished 2nd in the league last season with 1 point difference behind PSG. A 1-1 draw away to a team that dominated the French league last season must be promising. Both teams had plenty of chances but didn't make the most of them. We could have seen more goals in the match. I don't know if PSV can get out of the group but I think this group will be more competitive than the other groups.
PSV are really in a tight situation no doubt but it was actually quite expected as their are not that strong when it comes to playing in the champions league. But when it's comes to comparing these two team performance currently now , I think I would count PSV a better team because of their ability to win games  their league and although their opponent the french team actually finished second but still no doubt that this PSV team is actually better in performance.

Good morning my people. From my discovery I dey always see plenty coin from different exchanges, wey get Bitcoin logo but different names and thesame price and some also dey less cheaper. say the real Bitcoin supposed to dey different from others. Both in price and logo, Because some people ft no spot the difference. You fit go copy wrong Bitcoin address give person to send you Bitcoin only for you to discover later say na another Bitcoin address you copy. You ft dey invest for the wrong Bitcoin if care is not taken. Even etherium related coin also get that futures.
I no really understand watin you actually mean by saying coins get same or similar logo with Bitcoin and this part nai really get me confused @ "the same price", because as far I know since wen I don dey sell and trade crypto I never actually come across any coin wey get the price or even similar price with Bitcoin and more over there's always a distinction in all exchange with Bitcoin and other crypto assets, because you dey always see am at the forefront because it's simply unique in price difference and the closet to it nai be Ethereum which for sure get very clear difference for logo identify so this your observation me no too get am because the closet of coin wey I don come across sef wey fit fall into this category nai ne wrapedBitcoin which is different too from the original Bitcoin
Quote
Another thing also na prices in different exchanges. Bitcoin price for trust wallet and binance no be the same. Even if na thesame for USD, when you change your preference from USD to NGN the price go drop compeard to the normal exchange current price why?

Shear you're expirence for this matter and wetting dey cause am?
For the price difference this observation na true because all exchange get their market price cap for different coins at large so binance, bitbuy, kucoins and so many other exchange price for crypto dey different especially when if na sell you wan sell for these exchange dem through P2P because the vendor all have their price at which they are willing to trade their coins, na for you now to choose the right exchange and vendor suitable for your trade.

I was introduced to Bitcoin in 2014, a friend of mine told me about Bitcoin, believe me, it didn't sound like a smart thing to my ears, I wish I had listened to my friend, I would have bought it in 2014. Unfortunately, I got to know it late and decided to buy Bitcoin in 2021. When Did You Meet Bitcoin? how much was the price ?


Mate, I think the forum has a couple few of this particular kind of thread but maybe with a different name but the whole context of people actually stating when and how they eventually got an encounter with Bitcoin.HERE. and I know I have seen a couple more of this particular type of post and I know you are wnew and stuff but using the search button would help you out alot in terms of making post
1528  Other / Meta / Re: Should Merit-Sources use feelings when giving out Merit? on: October 22, 2023, 08:43:10 AM

Hey! I was thinking of something this night, this thing about merits and the merit-sources. If you are a merit-source, should you always give away merit to good posts even if you dislike the user that created the post?

What is the problem? I disagree with some members in the forum, but they perform a good role in other boards or in local boards. If a person spams or does something that I do not like, I will be put him on my ignore list, but there are more than 100 Merit source members and I sent merits to many other members who can sent 1/2 of it to that account.
If that account is on everyone's ignore list, the problem is with you.
I think your approach is also one way to see how the whole merit system works, because the system is design for the merit to be circle round so If someone is in your list and you deem him as a spammer and is actually doing well in other places then just like you said " there are 100's of merits source" out there that you actually give out merit to and in these merit source, they may be a few that actually sees the user to be trying and actually give the said person some amount of merit worth the quality of his posts.

But I just have one problem with this ignore list though, I just have a simple thought about some users here that used to be shit posters but with time actually worked on their selves and then turn out to improve in their posting style and now sound posted, wouldn't it be unfair to have them still in your ignore list without acknowledging their recent improvement? Although this your logic of other merit sources still covers this thought but it doesn't hurt to throw out there question still.
1529  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: October 22, 2023, 08:19:13 AM

Since bitcoin is very new and only the first generation is using it, so we do not come across such cases but after more than 10 to 20 years, a lot of bitcoins will be lost as the current holders of bitcoin wouldn't be alive and they have not transferred the wealth to their near and dear ones.
I don't know but I think with times to come this issue of people actually dying with their holding and Bitcoin will be reduced to a certain level because of the speculated amount of massive adoption and awareness that Bitcoin would have 10-20 years from now.

Bitcoin is something that is growing everyday and the awareness is also increasing and also is different technology and apps that's back it's usage and storage, although am not sure since it's a personal thought but I believe a time will come that a solution to this issue of people dying with holding will be of minimal number although currently now there is a fair share of people that have already fall victim of this.

Since Bitcoin is all about privacy it will be wrong to give out your seed phrase  to your family or even your spouse especially when you are holding and chasing a particular  target but i feel if the person, that's your wife  or child is already exposed to the technology then it will make the whole scene different because it will be easier to actually set some up some way for them to actually inherit your holding when you are no more .
1530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your doubt has no effect on gambling. on: October 22, 2023, 07:52:06 AM

A friend of mine always says, game way go cut, go cut and game way go enter, go enter, and yes that's true, this game was supposed to, play accordingly, and it finally did, even with my doubts.

However, I will say that even your doubt can not make a game that you are supposed to win lose, because gambling doesn't work with mindset, it works with the risk and not your fear. Why the risk is because if you don't risk your money in gamble, you will not lose or even win.
Having doubt in your game is actually the first step to actually acquiring that lost although sometimes it helps out to prevent us in doing some foolish stake and believe me when I say foolish stake because I have made some foolish bet myself. That moment when you feel that the game you are trying to bet is actually going to result to win and you go all out and make the stake with the amount you are currently regretting you didn't play with and you will be surprised what the outcome will be when you have the played the bet and the result have finalized because gambling can be really cruel sometimes and that game you feel it's very sure might end up just being the wrong set of games that's if it's a parley selection like the one you placed.
1531  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: High cost of commodities on: October 22, 2023, 07:26:04 AM
Funny how you say if we can survive or not. What have we been doing all this while? The price of things going up during this period is not something that is happening only in Nigeria, because it's normal even in the normal business sense, because once demand is high and supply is low, then the price of things will eventually sky rocket and that's the case with this period, because at this festive period the demands of things tend to be on a different scale that's slightly higher than the average and this result to cost of goods and Commodity and I believe it's happening every where but since surviving is actually the feature of humans that you cant be altered, I think we are good and we will survive just like the previous times we have been doing.

As for a better economic, we can only hope that we get that soon because if it's all the necessary resources for a country that actually possess this, I think Nigeria has all but the issue is just mismanagement of funds and I think until we tackle this issue as country, there will be always be a thorn in flesh we can't get rid off.


1532  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Wrong mentality of scammers on: October 22, 2023, 07:06:50 AM
My country men una well done,



So I was just relaxing and surfing on the internet, trying to entertain myself a bit, then I came across this interesting skit by some user on the platform TikTok which really got attention because of the specific message he was actually trying to pass and as I watched it I tried relating what he was actually saying to my immediate environment and it fits so well that I thought I should drop it in the community today and hear your own personal view and take on this.



So we all know how the country be, and how boys for the streets dey continue involved themselves into fraud and many scam related stuffs just to make ends means and the funny thing about this is that some of these guys actually aren't really that educated and have found it really hard to do things the right way and, by this I mean actually following the right path to make money and some of the reasons most guys actually get involved in these scam ethics is because they actually deem it very easy which is actually a big fucking lie, but the lifestyle most of these fraudster lives makes fraud business looks so easy which is actually a mirage because nothing is actually ever easy especially when it's comes to making 💰 money. I have some friends who have actually said that doing fraud is actually the easiest way to make an ends, but when they actually tell me what they pass through day and night for this, then I start to think how funny it really is, how we are willing to some extent of a certain desire to actually do THE WRONG THINGS FOR THE RIGHT REASON  .



I imagine not sleeping all day and night trying to convince someone for them to actually do your biddings for the purpose of trying to scam or learning all the technological stuff about hacking, sending constant fake mail, claiming multiple identities and so many other hard stuff, and of which scammers are of the mentality that it's supposed to be easy and we all know how hard it is to actually learn and dedicate your mind to things you are not familiar with especially when it comes to tech stuffs but for these guys the dedication and committed is really on another level and this really make me wonder how funny the world is and how people are actually willing to the wrong things for the right reasons.

Why not just channel all this energy and time and actually follow the right path, because obviously, trying to scam too is actually not easy and if you are caught there is a penalty that follows it, but following the right way holds no sanction and requires the same commitment too.



Please, what's your take on this, make we yan small Tori for this issue.
1533  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Currency nature of Bitcoin on: October 22, 2023, 06:26:09 AM


After all, Bitcoin network suffers from scalability issues and high transaction fees, leading many to believe that Bitcoin is more of a store of value than an alternative form of cash. With Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, we're faced with a more futuristic form of money
I think the problem of Bitcoin scalability is already been handled although the approach to it's adoption is a bit low since its implementation but I think with times adoption will drastically grow in mass and by this I mean the Bitcoin lightning network which was a resolution method to solve the problem of Bitcoin scalability.

For me it really doesn't matter because Bitcoin can be used as a store of value or as alternative means to fiat but the fact still remains that the primary goals of its creation is still in achievement which is the decentralization of a currency without the intervention of any third party involved to condition and restrict individual of their money.
1534  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: October 22, 2023, 06:12:00 AM

I am not going to argue with you about what should be done, because those kinds of arguments hardly make any sense, and people are going to do what they will with the power of bitcoin, and some people will profit stupendously, and others will end up making mistakes that they had not realized to be as BIG of mistakes as they ended up being, and one of those mistakes may well end up being not having adequate systems in place to pass bitcoins along after some kind of a brain damage (or similar incapacity) and/or death.
.Yeah, that's true and it's actually one of the few things that is inevitable, whether we like it or not , a certain number of Bitcoin owners are actually going to end up leaving this world with their key remaining unknown to anyone, even their love one, but I feel this is supposed to be a matter of who's going fall under this category, well I know for sure after all this exposure to this much knowledge, I will definitely find a way to let my love ones or even my spouse know about the my holdings or if that's too wild, I think setting up a means of which they can actually get hold of my key and Bitcoin when mr.death eventually comes knocking.



We, as humans living in the world today, are about survival and I think everyone actually strives just to keep to the comfort of themselves and their loved ones financially, so a small fraction of people actually conditioning themselves every now and then to save money is to develop themselves so that they will have a better life for themselve and their family, so leaving the world without actually making plans for your Bitcoin holdings is kind of bizarre I would say, but that's from a personal opinion though but there still the fact still remains that nobody actually plans for anything to happen to them or their Bitcoin.

This is actually Normal for celebrities who often want to flaunt their wealth and money to the general public, drake does it, Neymar does and even so many celebrities do this, sometimes it's just them actually wanting to enjoy a spending spree of their money and nothing else. These type of people are not affected by any lose that they may inquire from their bet slip and they are free from addiction and that's why it's okay for them in their gambling habits, if a normal average gambler loses this kind of money then it would be a major issue for him but not same with the exclusive celebs.

Let me ask... how do you feel about football predictions? Competitions in which the prize is free bets are quite popular on the forum and 20-30 people participate in such competitions every week, so I see this as an excellent opportunity to attract new users. I think users will agree with me and join the discussion.
Sports especially football (soccer) will be attractive for many users and they can achieve two things at the same time. Enjoy matches, watch their favorite clubs and make bets from free bets given by the CoinRoyale team.

I like your idea to distribute free sports bets for Bitcointalk community members and CoinRoyale users.
Yeah it will definitely attract more user, and you soccer is the most active sport that attracts more user and it's also the most discuss sports and if free bets are being given in the casino it will definitely draw the attention of most Bitcointalk users who are fully involved in casino that actually give out bonuses and free bets, this is basically the simplest means to attract users to the casino. Although coinroyale isn't a new casino but fresh competition and giveaway makes the casino thread fully active and many users ready to try it out.

I met a friend who used about $1 to play gamble to win about $2500 in a game of different matches, all the early games went well but the last game cut which made him loose the game.  This lose made him to be sick for 3 days, the reason for his reaction was not because of the money he used to bet but he felt so bad because he has already put all his hope on the money he would have won.

People needs not to put all their hope in games they are not sure of winning, because relying on it can be very dangerous to the mental health. Play gamble and remove your mind from the money that will be gained till it is achieved.
This is very true because I had a friend who nearly collapse because of the traumatic experience he had because of the win that he would have gotten from a parley game he played, the game was ten in total and nine of the prediction has all gotten through but one  games was still undecided, but not long the after the remaining one  started and on the 90+2 minutes one of additional time of that particular game and the team which was already winning the game, until a shock and surprising thing happen. The game that was already winning for the bet was equalized  and the bet was lost and disappointment was the era of the day for this my friend and this was because he had put high hopes on the game turning out to be victorious.

1540  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency is a Threat and BTC leads on: October 18, 2023, 09:49:21 PM

The EU and some government believe that cryptocurrency have no Intrinsic value and that you should be prepared to lose all your money if you buy cryptos. The head of the bank of England have taken this stance some months ago. In-fact, Bit Coin is highly restricted if not ban in Russia, China, Algeria, Bolivia, Nigeria, Bangladesh and many countries that are left wing. Whether directly or indirectly these countries have stood as Anti-Crypto.

My question is are they trying to protect their citizens or what?

Personally, I believe competition is good for the consumer but when government officials make this comment, I try to see things from their perspective and analyze them. So, what are government officials saying that they are not actually telling the people in reality.

Cryptocurrency are the largest treat to national security: The most powerful weapons that countries has is the ability to change interest rate and what they do is to buy and sell bonds to increase money supply or decrease money supply which changes interest rate. Hypothetically speaking, if every citizen in a country no longer use fiat or paper currency and they only use cryptocurrency then government can’t raise money by issue bonds and changing interest rate. What will happen is that government will go bankrupt.

Note: No Government makes a lot of money collecting only taxes. They issue bonds etc.
If there is no demand for government currency then they will go bankrupt. Do well to contribute your knowledge on this subject.

First most countries are now turning a positive view towards the use and acceptance of Bitcoin and most of these never actually put a ban on crypto in the first in their region and I like to think that NIGERIA is one of those countries because the ban on crypto as of then was actually a restraining order place on all commercial banks to stop any transaction that has to deal with crypto and any fiat bank account that was found transacting or relating with Bitcoin was actually ban.

The reason for all this that the government do, is basically because they can't track and control the transaction that has to deal with Bitcoin and if their is one the government really like, it's actually the thought on knowing that they can actually control everything including the financial life of their citizens and Bitcoin as a decentralized currency doesn't support this so they alternative to the best possible option which is actually to ban or restrict it .
