1601  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What can happen next time due to a lack of proper knowledge about Bitcoin? on: October 07, 2023, 10:10:46 AM
Well, don't you think if the whole world is dominated by cryptocurrency or bitcoin, then some people will face a huge problem?
  I have discovered some of the reasons for this. For example- 

1. When virtual currency or crypto-currency reigns all over the world, the banking system will be miserable, and a group of people (who do not know about crypto-currency or bitcoin) will be unemployed all over the world, who till now were working at the convenience of various banks.

2: Unemployed people (due to a lack of knowledge of currency requirements or benefits) will not be able to handle this shock in the first place, due to which they will face various financial, lateral, physical, and mental problems, which is a big challenge for them. 

3: Many developing or underdeveloped countries (especially those with low leverage) will consider cryptocurrency a curse rather than a blessing due to their lack of proper understanding of its importance.

4: I have seen among my acquaintances who still cannot fully trust the bank (banking is some kind of rigging or fraud) and therefore leave their valuable assets (gold or money) on their own instead of depositing them in the bank. For those who do not believe in banks, how exactly will they accept this currency system?

I might be wrong, and I don't know much about advanced technology, crypto, or bitcoin yet, so please don't take my questions negatively.
 In fact, all these questions have been created from the thoughts that I have presented here.
I think you are only looking at the downside of the possibility that's can happen but I would like to remind you that fiat wasn't actually the first currency in use from the first period of time and still humans adapted to it and have since used it despite the disadvantages that it first pose during its adoption in the world.

Change is a constant thing in life and thats what no one can fight although am not sure of whether bitcoin can take over the world but if eventually it does then I think the impact of positivity will be more than disadvantages.
1602  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - what are we expecting for the rest of 2023? on: October 07, 2023, 05:55:41 AM
Yesterday there was bitcoin pumping and since the start of the week but I am not so excited for that like most people feel. I don't know what is leading the pump and so it will be prediction for where the price of bitcoin will end this year. I think the price pump can later drop for correction and the price become stable around $25,000 and $30,000.
Well these pumps are actually normal these days and am not freaked by it anymore because it's actually people that want to sell off their coins that would be excited over little change in the price of bitcoin as for me I think the year is still probably going to end up with bitcoin price being so down because I actually want to buy more not to sell off at every little pump so I would be speculating and wanting the price to be around of 25-26k
1603  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: October 07, 2023, 05:50:17 AM
The only good thing here in El Salvador is that this is a living testimony about Bitcoin, because at first they did not think well of it; they were very negative about it before. El Salvador even declared a ban on Bitcoin, but they eventually reversed it.

Then, later, El Salvador declared again but not to ban Bitcoin, instead a declaration that they made Bitcoin legal tender in their country, and most of them are Bitcoin enthusiasts, and it seems that only a few are not yet aware of cryptocurrency.
This full acceptance of bitcoin by el Salvador is a proof indeed that bitcoin can actually be used as a legal tender and although it may have it's up and down but there is no currency in world today that hasn't got his flaws but atleast this is big step forward towards the full adoption of bitcoin in the world. Most other countries worldwide actually protest against the use of bitcoin in their countries because of its decentralised nature but the whole purpose of bitcoin was to give financial freedom which is what most government doesn't want for their citizens.
People of El Salvador protested against the adoption of bitcoin. Bitcoin protests in El Salvador against cryptocurrency as legal tender. We can't say El Salvador people were supporting bitcoin adoption without any second thought. The credit goes to President Nayib Bukele, because he is the one who took the decision and he was strong in execution. It is really difficult and he faced everything and slowly started to educate and create awareness among the people. Now people are well aware of it and realise the goodness of adoption. To make things better, bitcoin education is included into the school syllabus. Rest of the countries watch the progress of El Salvador, but none have the courage to take decision as President Nayib Bukele.
You know the reason why he was able to make such decision without looking back is because he was not greedy and after the selfish interest of the government only but also after the growth and progress of his citizens and that's the thing most government fail to posses. The moment most government start thinking like this then the better because they can actually have the will power to embark on such a project like actually making and stipulating the idea of bitcoin in the country.

1605  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Halloween inspired poll –would your Bitcoins get passed on if you suddenly died? on: October 07, 2023, 05:23:18 AM
Who got this thread out of nowhere?  Grin

Well, if I suddenly die my wife would be more than able to manage funds sitting in different wallets.
Over the years she got very familiar with crypto, having a short unsuccessful hype in investing in NFTs and now getting paid for her side translation job in USDT.

So I am not worried if anything happens.

But for normal people maybe they should set up some kind of plan/info for the people that would inherit their assets since it might be too much to handle maybe.


That's cool for you but I think not everyone family is well opportune to be like this. Well as for me I think if I probably die now the only person that might even have any idea of my bitcoin holding would probably be my friend and cousins who are also bitcoin enthusiasts like myself but I think they would probably have no way accessing it because of my seed phrase and key to the wallet. So I think I will start something that will make my son to be a little bit interested in crypto affairs but don't want to bother him though as he is still enjoying his young age.
1606  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Knowledge vs hodlings on: October 07, 2023, 05:12:43 AM
Because of the lack of knowledge to invest in bitcoin make bitcoin not for everyone. Because before you invest, you must have the technical know how of the technology so that you will be galant in whatever comes or challenges. And that is why when people are saying that bitcoin is for everyone, I only believed that  those guys do not really understand bitcoin, and I don't want to say something on the other threads but what the op here had said made it clear that to invest in bitcoin you must have the "basic knowledge" and which is the most important part in bitcoin investment and those who has no knowledge on bitcoin can't involved themselves in this new technology. Even in the forum, those who are not good in bitcoin, writing and contributing to meaningful knowledge can't join it because they have nothing to offer. I am also on the school of thought that bitcoin is not for everyone because because bitcoin is limited to some group of people. Children, old age, and the blind are not meant to use bitcoin though someone can use it for them but it themselves. All those early users of bitcoin who sold it because of fear lack the knowledge of bitcoin and sold them off for the fear of losing.

This your thread too is also the category of those first experienced of bitcoin. And forum is the best place to learn anything concerning of bitcoin. Joining this forum helps one to prevent being scammed. And other things to learn in the forum. All what you need to do is patient and reading.
Absolutely, investing in Bitcoin requires a degree of knowledge, and you've hit the nail on the head in noting that it's not for everyone. But let’s spin this yarn another way, shall we? I'd argue that while technical know-how is beneficial, you don't necessarily have to be a blockchain engineer to invest wisely in Bitcoin. It’s like driving a car; you don’t need to be a mechanic to drive safely and efficiently. It’s important to understand the basics, of course, but the nitty-gritty technical details? Perhaps not essential for everyone.

Your point about the forum being a great place to learn is spot on, yet it doesn't mean that newcomers, who may lack profound knowledge in Bitcoin, have nothing to offer. Fresh perspectives, new questions, and novel ideas often come from those not deeply entrenched in the current ways of thinking. If we restrict Bitcoin to those with pre-existing knowledge, are we stifling its potential for mass adoption? Just something to chew on.
Simply exquisite mate, your explanation and break down of this is quite interesting but that's the truth about being an bitcoin investor and I can take myself for an example on this because till date I can bet that I don't still know the whole technical aspects of bitcoin but that doesn't mean it prevented me from investing or it even stopped me from trying to make an investment in bitcoin. I literally was amuse by the curiosity that bitcoin brought to me and used that energy to actually follow up to learn the basics which I know is what I will be needing plus a strong idea, idea and principle to follow up with me having bitcoin because you as an investor without a plan is totally nonsense because you might end up scattering everything about your actual targets but that's even of course you have one.

note:: technical knowledge is still very important but like you said isn't really a major at first if want to practically invest in bitcoin

Yeah that's true and I aslo believe that with time coming more nation will follow up on this trend but I also feel they have another excuse apart from bitcoin being decentralised and that would be the reason that bitcoin is highly volatile and it may cost them loses, well I don't know but thats is one of my theory too for the this slow and repellent nature of government towards bitcoin but anyways even if it's one of them then its actually a stupid thought because that's same thing the fiat currency does everytime because it's die off and depreciated without the purpose of every getting same value again and if there is nation that I can use to point this particular thing it will be my own country because of the excess printing of fiat our currency has lost all value and cannot even withstand comparison with other fiat which is a typical example of fiat dying off overtime and yet the use  and adoption of bitcoin is still winked at with one eye by our government.

1611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 06, 2023, 08:49:08 PM
Manchester City's performance at the start of the season was a bit slow. Yet they have managed to maintain continuity. They won 6 out of 7 matches. The main reason for City's slow start to the season is that two key players in the City squad, Silva and De Bruyne, have missed several matches due to injuries. However, Manchester City's performance under Guardiola was excellent.
Yeah sure but Manchester city later peak form, so actually wining 6 matches at of 7 is a commendable performance, of course behind every successful club lies a good coach, so all thanks to Pep Guardiola who has being the great pilot that has lead Manchester City to it continues success with his excellent coaching patterns, I actually have a strong feeling that Manchester city will still win the premier League again this season, even without the injured players they will still get to there destination because all the guys are good, however there next match against Arsenal is going to be a tough truly because Arsenal are also in a good form this season but anyhow i have a strong feeling that Manchester city is going to win the match.
I know Manchester city are probably the favourite team to win the league but I think Liverpool this season can also make a stand if they are willing enough continue with this winning form I they can actually see to it that they actually give Manchester city a tussle for the title although I know it's will be very hard and also I have excluded arsenal because of their inconsistency in the fight for the title because I think that isn't just matured enough to hold up to pressure.
1612  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: bc.game not honouring deposit bonus on: October 06, 2023, 03:51:58 AM
You may be right emphasising in this point because I know that what brings disregard and untrust is when you as a platform refuse to compromise or fulfil your promise, at this point what I want you to understand op since you have informed them or remind them on the bonus which is being stipulated in their platform to offer, is that you should let it go, because their is a way you may react to it, different understanding will come in, and it's not only you have seen the issue. I believe that the team will take adequate care in making all this things.
If the site already explains the reason for not getting qualified for the bonus deposit then its acceptable but if the site refuses to inform the player then how you can accept it and move on? Well there is always risk on a site that is not that popular and have this kind of promotion, better to read everything first before making a deposit on any site.
If the rules is not clear for the deposit bonus it will create such confusion and that is what happened to OP, I think the site should make this more clear and let the gambler knows what’s exactly their promotion is. Are you going to gamble on a site that is not clear with their terms and conditions? Better to avoid this kind of site.
Yeah I think that's certainly the most right thing to do because I also tried out the site and upon registration I saw that a menu was shown to make the deposit of 10usdt within a specific time frame to get 300 dollar welcome bonus on which although I failed to  meet up with the time speculated so I didn't much complain but I still thought I would be given some kind of bonus as my first deposit but it's all good am not a complainer to any casino am sure bc game has a specific reason for some if their actions so I think making the terms clearly for this kind of issues is simply the best thing .
1613  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Time waits for nobody. on: October 06, 2023, 03:46:13 AM
My country people! Really time wait for nobody. Many of us here get skills but Lack the courage to work towards am. Say man of God prophesy to you say you go be the richest man for your family no mean say d dream must come true.

If you no work towards am you go still be poor man because Dem say faith without work is dead. many talents dey waist because of pospondment. Wetting you don sabi you go dey doll yourself, dey see yourself like you never mature for the job or time Still dey. When your mate don meet up, you go come  dey envy them say na juju or na yahoo then dey do, were as you get that opportunity.


Chairman I almost laughed out when I actually see this quote about concerning a prophesy and being the richest man in your family because this actually na true because most of us done take religious prophecy pass our hard work and seriousness sometimes na these prophecy dey make people think say all dey well with them say watin go be go be but na big lie because faith works with action and if action no dey then na just pure stupidity and most people in our country today have an outcome of this share stupidity. OMO like you talk am my brother time no dey so anyone way get this same mentality better just change am and follow up with something doing because e go bad well well when you find out the truth when time don already leave you run so make we try engage ourselves in something and let God bless the hand of your work because that na the only way for the prophecy to hold.

1615  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do I need a mentor in my bitcoin journey. on: October 06, 2023, 03:24:44 AM
I have made a bold decision to start my bitcoin journey. But just like every a new born baby needs close care and attention to grow I really don't want to make a mistake in any thing I am doing. I have this question to ask.  
''Is it advisable to to have a mentor who I can always go to as a newbie in the crypto space or I should rely all my knowledge on things I read online for my growth.
Every man can be a mentor to himself one way or the other, it really just simply lies down to how actually just handle the whole situation because just like every other person out there who one wants to grow you first need to make research by yourself and then after making and gathering your own knowledge I think asking of possible questions for proper orientation and guidelines will probably be of help to successful starting your journey and it's as simple as that just make sure you continually follow up with the trend and you will find out that being a self mentor is probably best in the world of cryptocurrency.

I don't know about you or anyone else but i think you can both have a good mentor or a bad one if you decide to hope on someone to be your mentor, the cryto world is very vast and no one actually fully understand it's so everyone is actually tangling on mere speculation and with knowledge they have gathered for themselves so you making research is actually going to be a good plan to start up.
1616  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Secret of investing no one tells you about on: October 06, 2023, 03:16:24 AM
Hello friends

I want to shear with you three powerful secrets  of investing.
First I will start by saying investing is sowing for the benefit of the future.
Investing is often portrayed as a straightforward path to financial success, but beneath that, there are hidden secrets that are rarely spoken of.

1: Being patience: For one to be successful, discipline and the ability to be patient both in long-term and short-term storms must be an habit .

2: The ability risk management: for you to be successful, you must be able to handle the downside of investing.

3: the power of knowledge: many don't emphasize the importance of continuous learning in an ever-changing financial platform .

For a successful investing journeys, one must observe this above 3 master keys of investing .
These are actually some nice points given but I feel number one is really good as I also feel that the basic theory that behind every successful investment is the theory about being patient and you know what they say when it comes to patience " the patient dog eats the fastest bone" which is obviously true because you cant be in a hurry when it comes to an investment especially when it has to do a bitcoin investment. There are so many cases of possible investment wanting to meet up a target with their earnings and investment but at the long run of everything they end up misusing their investment and jeopardizing their whole plan because they lack that share principle of discipline and patience.

Trying to make some art contest? Isn't really that something that copies "Roobet" on this one?
Yeah. Art contests can be conducted by any site and they aren't exclusive to Roobet or anything and we all know how popular they can get if the topics are really interesting which is why they are a great way to market your site in this forum.

Cryptoplay are already running a signature campaign which is why they probably will start competitive contests soon.
Yeah I think only if they are truly willing to meet up with the competition then commencing of promo and raffle draws is also another nice way to meet up with the advert of the casino but even with the start of the signature campaign in the forum here is also a good start one I know for sure about users and gamblers Is that casino that have good reputation always speaks for themselves in terms of customer satisfaction but be certain that satisfaction from customers isn't a guarantee because some gambler will still complain of other lacking of the casino just be sure to always be active to clear up these cases to have a good stand here in the community and am sure with time the name will definitely stick around like major casino here.
1619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 05, 2023, 09:39:58 PM
Everyone almost doubts Real Madrid this season because they don't have a striker like Benzema, especially with the failure in the previous season to win the league which naturally raises many questions about which player will continue to score goals. Even without a clear plan, Real Madrid are lucky to have a player like Bellingham who they brought in this summer but he is still a midfielder and no one has high expectations for him. However, most people's doubts were answered with his performance, which continued to score goals for Real Madrid until he became the current top scorer in the current league. It's true that currently everything is still going smoothly even for the champions league, but I hope they can start thinking about adding another striker later in the winter because Joselu looks like he will only be a cover during this season and will rarely be included in the line up.
It's the Vinius effect. Real Madrid struggled a little when Vini got injured and with his return, there is some boost in the forward power, but this just goes to show that Real Madrid are an injury or two away from being a completely different team

If both Vini and Bellingham get sidelined, that when you will realize that Real Madrid need a good natural striker.
Yeah I can only imagine this Madrid squad without Vinni and Bellingham, it will be very disastrous because with Vinni in their game, the boldness at which they attack the goal is just certainly different Although I know this Madrid team is filled with great players but in all I would definitely class Vinni to be different because if the impact he brings to the team.
1620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Ever Made Such Mistake Before, But Won still? on: October 05, 2023, 09:30:18 PM
Hi guys,
Lucky me actually..

Something happened while I was playing QUICK PICK on L0tt0.com yesterday, normally, my maximum bet for each number picked is always the minimum which is $0.25 cent, and I always pick not more than two numbers which costs me $0.5 cent per round, but while playing the game yesterday, I did not know when my finger touched the "Select bet value" slide bar and increased my bet value to $1.75 dollars for each number picked, I then picked my usual two numbers and I was billed $3.50 dollars for that round, this was a total mistake which I didn't even take note of until i saw that I won $28.



I was like wow 😍, with $0.5 cents for two numbers, what I normally won if one of those numbers played is $4, but if both numbers I choose plays, I win $8, but this time, I saw that I won $28, I was like how come? I began inspecting and discovered that my bet was not $0.5 cent, but $3.50 dollars, I was like what the heck, a mistake that turned sweet for me 😋😋.

So by this experience, I am moved to ask you guys if any one of you have ever made such a mistake, but it turned out in your favor? Please share with us.

Not with this particular type of games but I have actually experienced this phenomenom before and it felt good because there is nothing like actually having a feeling of regretting then you found out that you won so it's just like the regret will eventually turn out to be sweetness. During my stake in some sports game I actually did some mistake once or twice that turn out  good especially during my stakes in live games because sometimes the moment I played the bet on a particular team that is winning and all of a sudden unknowning to me that the opposite team has already equalise the game and when I check the scores of the match the outcome is showing draw and the odd of the game will now be three times bigger than actually what I intended in playing but sometimes the team I predicted actually end up winning the game
