I know the excitement that comes with having your first bitcoin after several readings and knowledge acquired about bitcoin yet you don't have a part of it, on e you're able to purchase it give one a kind of joy which I see in your expression here. I will add by saying congratulations buddy on your first purchase and as time goes on you will keep growing your assets in bitcoin until a time where purchasing will not longer be a problem. perhaps I also want to hear you are holding for long and not selling after a little significant profit.

Keep holding and you will reach a better portfolio.

Perhaps I'm not participating in any airdrops but I know of many airdrops going on now but this airdrops are not long the airdrops which we use to know, now you have to stake some money to get the airdrops which personally I don't longer classify as airdrop but staking to get rewards.

Perhaps a lot of people here most have cleared you on what memecoins are I will also add to it that memecoins are mostly scam projects that is why I don't really go deep into them because at some point most do loss value to the extent that they may go to 0.00 worthlessness.

Memecoin is not just a coin it's a special kind of coin used mostly for exploitation and quick profit schemes, people only buy when price is very low or even mine then once they get listed or start trading they immediately sell inorder not to loss.

Certainly I would go for crypto exchange tokens, because there are lots of benefits to it than the wallet tokens, I have this wallet token called CROs but the tx fee is too much to the extent that I have to just keep holding even when I feel the need to withdraw or swap to other tokens because it's a wallet token I can't send to any wallet addresses that doesn't follow their address standards which is cro*****, here with this my situation you can see a clear side issue you can face while holding a wallet token.

but for exchange tokens they're easily withdrawn, and tx fees are relatively low compared to wallet tokens held in the same wallet. so I would suggest crypto exchange tokens. just as I said you should opt for the BGB if you're convinced of investing in that token.

Good to know you're taking part in this challenge, I guess you're one of the rare types here although I might not be sure as this forum is anonymous place gender is not disclosed except by choice.

Doing 10 push ups straight would be very stressful for you at this point and it's a normal feeling for one to feel some kind of pain in the beginning almost all beginners felt the pain while starting but as time goes on you would be fine or eventually begin to get us to it. congratulations on your 7th day with over 210 push ups it's quite impressive.

Here is my report, a continuation for today's push ups. I also added some extra weight lifting and some ruining to keep the body more balanced.

My report..

One thing that I have noticed while making research on a non custodian wallet to chose for staking, I have found out that it's absolutely rare to find an open source wallet for staking either it's closed source or nothing.

Op you can read more from here eventually you would be interest in the details in the link below
https://forum.cardano.org/t/how-eternls-staking-vault-works/100023?u=heptasean

I'm glad you all like the idea of making the board more clear that it used to be by either reporting low quality post and OPs locking some thread that are no longer useful to an extent.

I also feel like the mods (mprep) is no longer as active as before to look into the new situations of the board, and other global mods are not long interested in visiting the board because it has been recorded as shitty board and since in always posting here I'm not too comfortable with my our post being considered in that category because of the board where it is being posted.

Apparently I get your idea that life is full of risk so if you can risk it by lending someone money for gambling or between then you should risk it, I also buy that idea but how about an obvious addict asking for loan? if you you how to get your money back in one way or the other is your conscience going to let you do such? for me I can't as long as I know he or she is going to spend them gambling I wouldn't risk it because I will keep pondering to myself that I'm heartless for supporting them to ruin their lifes.

Personally I don't agree to the fact that the promotions on social medias or YouTube is the cause of new age gambling addictions, I'm not an addict but I do see adverts about gambling on my social media handles yet I'm not interested in registering on those sites nor even increase my gambling style as a result of it. any one who says those promotions are the cause then believe me they are trying to hide from the truth.

If you misplaced your priority for gambling you will be instantly addicted and that's the only thing I can say is the cause of people becoming online gambling addicts as they usually misplace their priority for gambling or those who are greedy enough to try using gambling as shortcut to success believe that they will get a big hit one day and will make so much money.

I have seen a lot of scam but this is quite different, I know scammers are very smart now I can even see more evidence to prove that scammers are even more smart than those who claim to be smart in their ways.

Just as profirii said, if you think it the other way the scammer was smart enough to make the scam look like they are the real scammers for trying to hijack his funds. it's a great lesson for them anyways.. one don't have to be so greedy to the extent of wanting to exploit someone else.

Perhaps it's a good thinking but one thing you must remember is that hijackers/scammers/hackers are one of the most intelligent people and your gesture is not what will prevent them from hijacking it.

If you  want to prevent compromise you should do your things offline and whatever hot wallet you use should be know or have the awareness that it could be targeted one day hence reduce the rate of trust or dependant on it. you can only keep a few dollars and or bitcoin in it or you should only use the for quick usage and not storing your assets for long.

Perhaps I haven't heard of it, but I browsed too to find out more of it. from what I have read it's only increasing the privacy of the statechain, according to the site, it's majorly blinding the operators from viewing the contents of what is being transferred like transaction IDs, etc.

Although, I don't know much about tech but I'm privacy oriented so the improvement is good from my perspective because everything will be done off chain just the like lighting network but this time the operator is only allowed to know how many times transactions has been signed but not the contents of the transact not even the pub keys.

Certainly after some time spent with altcoins people especially beginners will begin realise the need for them to acknowledge bitcoin as the most reliable coin for investment, most times people come into the industry through altcoins that they most have mined in any way, some through tempting rewards offered by the new hypes but history always shows that they turn to bitcoin as the remedy.

Sometimes I feel even after knowing what bitcoin can be and how it works I still like people to go and explore then when they see the result they will turn back to bitcoin because experience is the best teacher they can go and experience the pains altcoins can cause them.

Personally I think people around the world pay more attention to success stories than failed or unsuccessful stories and not the other way round. if you observe carefully you will find only a few sad or failed stories in the internet not because only few had failed attempts but who will want to post to discuss their failures when others are doing it right? I guess only a very minor number of people, because what triggers people's interest is success.

Successful if very visible, so most people don't even tell the testimonies only the changes in them tells the story especially when people knows they are into bitcoin investment.

3. Do you have to tell anyone that you're successful?  for me No! Successful announces itself, when you see successful in any area of life they don't need to come tell you that they are successful, so you too don't need to tell anyone that you're successful, whether your family believes you or not that shouldn't be your problem, what you shoukd be concerned about is yourself and not what they think about you. Hence you don't need validation from your family.

4. Traders have to characteristics but I think I haven't seen any bitcoin trader cry out because he or she lost, most people I see are not trading bitcoin but other assets maybe that is because I'm more focused on saving up my bitcoin than trading them.

It's not yet final as the host just announced that he will be accepting applications on 1st till end of first, maybe then we can say it's final.

Let's see how it goes perhaps the excitement is overwhelming.

Personally, I think people just like to abuse things.. if you give them opportunity they will want to take it for granted. Almost all contest that I have experienced in this forum someone somewhere most surely want to cheat, a cheater is a cheater, an abuser will always be an abuser even if it's something that cost them nothing they will still cheat since part of their nature that they don't want to change.

what surprises me is that, even after seeing the high level of technical knowledge how in this community yet they just want to try themselves to see what will be the outcome.

I did 33 push ups this morning because I didn't go out for gym today and I'm yet to complete my daily 100 push-ups as I split them into 3 times a day in order to reduce the level of energy I would put into it at once.

So here is my report for today;

Unfortunately I haven't had enough time to thank you @cityhunter34 for pointing out to me the right way to submit my report but I certainly appreciate your efforts.

To you @JayJaunGeeJaunGee, I also appreciate your time for giving a solid reason why I needed to follow the standards, as it's a script of @Dirtykeyboard the standards have to be followed for it to be included in his script, perhaps alot of those who quoted me or mentioned never give a solid reason why I should follow the steps but you took it upon yourself to point the right way to me. I certainly appreciate you JJG.

@Dirtykeyboard, I would love to show my gratitude to you as you took your time to include my report in your script even as I don't follow what was the standards of reports. Thanks for that, my favourite quote from the gym this week is; Appreciation is an application for more.. since I learnt this I always make out time to appreciate people.

---

@Zackz5000, @sotelorene, @Mayor of ogba, I would have love to skip your response but I just felt I should appreciate your comments even though it was not really good but to you it was all best. perhaps even though you thought you're all best you couldn't give a reason for why I should do the necessary if not for @JJG who took his time to explain. I'm certain you three misunderstood my question but it's not longer necessary to delineate on the past so I would move. thanks at least for whatsoever.

One thing I have learnt over the years is that balancing whatever you do is best than take one in to account leaving the rest in a smaller quantity. Perhaps a lot of people only considered Protein to be more essential, while they ignore the other foods but now I have come to understand that every single category of food is as important as the others, low in one is equal to unhealthy. so in every thing we do we should try as much as possible to balance our foods are non is more important than the others.

Apparently, since I do have some of my days in the gym during the week, I already do other body fitness exercises to keep fit and I can see your experience has shown your now in the process of balancing the body and not just taking the challenge of 100 push ups which is a good one. thumbs up.

Here we go! I'm very excited to be part of this contest, I truly appreciate the host and sponsors and everyone who has participated already and those that are yet to participate. it a great privilege here.

I took so much time to do this pizza but what's most surprising is that it's my first experience to baked, I'm a student and I never had enough things to participate but I took it upon myself to do something a bit creative even if it doesn't too much but my best here.

Here are the list of ingredients I used;
1. Flour
2. Yeast
3. Sugar and Salt
4. Groundnut oil and Other core ingredients for pizza.

I also used tutorials form different to make this pizza as it's my first time.

I took alot of images during the process so I found it difficult choosing what exactly to upload but I compressed some into one image for more visibility.









-After finishing the main pizza, I just had to add my username and BTT as to make it specifically for the contest and as @icopress said earlier.

---

Perhaps I have to submit this late, because after making the pizza I felt so tired and I slept off, waking up very late.

I guess this will be common to most people here, while making the pizza how many of you felt confused on what image to select out of numerous shots taken?, I'm a victim of this, I have too many photos to select hence I just merged some into one image to cope with the space

Does that really count? I'm just giving my report and not writing a code here at least you can see the report that's all they is need for me.

Thanks for your warm welcome!

Perhaps I have to now make it official, that I'm going part of the challenge. Although I'm far gone into it but for the records here is my report for today after a gym session.

Bruv! Sincerely you aren't reading, perhaps from your introduction post you were directed to different threads where you can read about the forum but you never did as its obvious already.

Common questions like this you can use the search engine. Be guided mate!

Locking this thread should be your next move....
