1641  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The high increase of insecurities in Nigeria, how do we combat this? on: December 30, 2022, 11:55:01 AM
Nigeria which is regarded as the giant of Africa, has gradually lost it's values and honors as insecurity has been thriving and creeping into the country.
A major reason for the increased rate of insecurity is also because of the increasing difficulties in living conditions and rising inflations. People are tending more to crime because the hardship they are going through is becoming unbearable plus things are not looking like they will become better for them.

~Do you think the government is doing enough to combat insecurity in the country?
If the government is doing enough, things will be as they are now. Even the security personnel's in this country are not been properly taken care off.

~what will you suggest as the way forward to combating insecurity in the country?
Improve the standard of living, so that more persons can enough not to consider crime.

Improve welfare treatment for security personnel's so they feel more motivated to work and perform their duties better.

Yes, i invest in bitcoins but it is not EXTRA money and I am afraid I can't afford to lose. Do you have that EXTRA money that you can afford to lose  Huh
"Invest only an amount you can loose" means that you should not invest all the money you have. Nobody likes to loose money unnecessarily, so to every one making a tangible investment with bitcoins, it is surely an amount they will not be happy loosing. Invest only an amount that you can loose means do not put all the money you have into bitcoins especially when you are in the position where you are not expecting any money from any source.

If you have a stable source of income, and you are always expecting money from the sources, you can invest all the money you have at hand to buy a good amount of bitcoin when the opportunity arises, knowing that you are expecting money to sustain your lifestyle.

How about you people that had a tutor, were you able to be taught in a way you do not lose in the beginning? I only started to make profit some months ago and till now though, but I lost for almost 2 to 3 years. Maybe tutoring can help to avoid losses?
I will pick a tutor anytime to just learning on my own. I can learn something first on my own which is good, but I will not become too over confident to begin to feel that a tutor to guide me further is unnecessary, and that to pay one is a waste of money. A tutor does not just share knowledge with you, he also shares experience, something that it will take you many hours to get and discover can be easily shared to you by a tutor. To get the best out of tutelage, get a private tutor if you can afford it. With a private tutor, the classes will be deeply interactive and they can properly carry you along.

Let's say you wake up in the morning only to find out your wallet has been emptied. Your savings are all gone.
But you were following all the security practices you can possibly can, like generate everything offline, good entropy, not using brain wallet and so on and so forth.
Too late to cry over spilled milk, best thing is to ensure that it doesn't repeat itself. And how do you ensure it doesn't repeat itself is by trying to breakdown and understand how you have found yourself in that situation, so you can best avoid it when you choose to begin getting bitcoins or whatever coins you lost again. I don't think one bad experience should make you change your mind about bitcoins even if you lost all you had. Get up, dust yourself and make better security plans because if you had done everything correctly, your wallet will not have been emptied.

Ten Hag still has a chance to buy young players just to make MU competitive in the club. Because when have limited attackers, this will be an inside problem like fatigue.
I remember in the last transfer window, MU were able to pull off some last minute huge sign-ins. I believe that the MU board know their challenges and are making silent moves to find solutions. They already lost out on the Gakpo deal to Liverpool, I know we will be hearing who will be joining the club shortly.

Chelsea have signed Ivory Coast striker David Datro Fofana from Molde for around €12m.

Will he become another Didier Drogba for Chelsea?

They lost two players but it seems like they never sold Sterling and Jesus
They didn't loose them, they off-loaded them to clubs that needed them. If you say lost, it means they still needed them but couldn't hold them and other clubs have stolen them, but you know that is not the case.

It is a miracle that we (Arsenal) are still ahead of this very incredible Manchester city side that has maintained a very high tempo performance since the season began. The chances of Manchester city drawing games is higher than them loosing. For them to drop points, I think it is more likely they will by drawing a game than loosing.

 I still look forward to when Arsenal will play Manchester City, I sincerely hope that our lead on the table increases by more points or remains the same, because that game will be a tussle.

Today i placed some single bets for 3 events, each bet was on the underdog and the draw. And would like to know if other users here like to bet that way.
I know of persons who always bet on the underdogs to win because of the big words associated with them and they have been unlucky more times than they have been lucky, but any day they get lucky and the underdogs win like we saw In Argentina Vs Saudia Arabia where Saudi Arabia shocked everyone by winning Argentina, the winning is usually very large.

Betting on the underdogs require a big measure of believe, to believe when others do not, to make decisions that people refuse to make, it is not a betting strategy for everyone.

I am new in the forum. I welcome myself to the forum because I know  I will learn more here than the classroom. I was thought in the class about bitcoin and the teacher was very good and sound in bitcoin,  but there are some areas the teacher could not explain well so we were asked to come here to continue the learning. So that is how I found myself here.
Welcome here OP, good that your curiosity has led you here. Now that you are here, can you give some examples of some of the questions that you inquired to know answers which led you here? I am sure many people in this forum are in suspense to know the questions your teacher could not answer,  you should be interested right away to know the answers, or are you not? 
1649  Economy / Economics / Re: What was your lowest point financially? How did you go through it ? on: December 28, 2022, 01:36:06 PM
We all have ups and downs in life. If you are old enough, there must be some painful period that you thought you'd never get over but actually you did. What was your lowest point in life ? Especially when it comes to finanical difficulties ? How did you survive ?
My lowest point financially is an experience that I can never forget, sometime in my third year in the university when I just moved to a new accomodation and all the money I had was what I spent paying for the accommodation. I was so broke, I couldn't afford a meal. I slept to gather energy because there was no food to eat, I didn't even know about bitcoins or have any to convert to fiat, It was a very terrible period for me.

I survived by getting a loan from a friend, I managed that money till the end of the month when I knew that I was expecting money. I struggled to repay the loan and within that period I also made the decision that once I was able to settle my debt, I was going to make conscious efforts so that I never find myself in that sort of position again and I never have since then.

Leeds vs Manchester City and this is important match for Manchester City because after losing points against Brentford they have to earn more points to keep their chances to pursuing Arsenal on standings league and this is actually not hard match for them and i am sure Manchester City can able to beat Leeds...
Manchester city game will be a work over for them today, the question will not be if they will win but by how many goals they will win by, how many goals Haaland will score after having enough rest during the world cup, and if Alvarez will be inspired by his world cup medal and show an improved form, because Leeds is no match for the quality the team brings. The only chance and way Leeds United will be able to slow down Manchester city and stop them from scoring early goals is of they do right by choosing to still attack and not have a completely defensive approach to the game.

They should take the game to Manchester city and put pressure on their backline. If they get a goal, it becomes a goal to defend.
1651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: December 27, 2022, 10:04:28 PM
Chelsea have been losing points in their last four league games. After coming back from the World Cup, they got a nice win in the league, which they really needed.
Good results for all the big teams in the premier League this resumption. Manchester city will surely be able to keep up with this tempo. Arsenal, Newcastle, Chelsea, Manchester United and even Tottenham Have all been able to avoid defeats.

The goal from nottingham forest that was disallowed for offside would have given them hope of getting an equaliser before manchester united scored to make it three goals. Rashford is a gem that Manchester United must preserve else another club will come for him.
1652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: December 27, 2022, 08:33:03 PM
Manchester United has the opportunity to reduce the gap in points with Tottenham if they are able to win the match against Nottingham Forest.
Manchester United this season have always played better without Ronaldo. Good thing they had already made themselves used to playing Manchester United are two goals ahead already with one goal scored by Rashford and Martial. There will be many goals in this game because the Manchester United dominance in the game is very obvious, I don't know if maybe their home advantage has contributed to it, but overall it is great start for Manchester United.
1653  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to win gambling? on: December 27, 2022, 06:03:14 PM
Set a budget: It is important to decide how much money you are willing to spend on gambling in advance and stick to that budget. This can help you avoid overspending or getting carried away.
It is important to set an amount, and make that amount available to yourself, so for some reasons of indiscipline, even if you forget your budget, you will not have access to extra funds to use.


Choose your games wisely
Play the games that you are good at, trying new games all the time will not help.

Stay sober: Alcohol can impair your judgment and make it more likely that you will make poor decisions while gambling. It is important to stay sober while gambling to help ensure that you are making decisions based on clear thinking.
I'm there to have fun like you have said that entertainment is the point of gambling, I am gambling not expecting to win because i'm there to have fun, I don't think some shots of alcohol is out of order so far you know your limits.
1654  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advantage of accepting bitcoin in business on: December 27, 2022, 05:37:55 PM
I also want to use the guest house as a medium to give bitcoin awareness to customers that comes to the guest house,due to the fact that it is a place where different people from different places comes to entertain themselves in the evening.
Customers come for entertainment and relaxation as you have mentioned, they surely will not want an environment where the focus is no longer their entertainment but an awareness. There is the right time for everything.

Yesterday evening, while I was checking one of the rooms,my bar attendant came to me that a customer wants to see me,meeting with him,he asked if he can make payment in btc for my service and I said yes. He opened up to me that he was on an assignment in research of some plants and he has already gotten a guest house where he is lodging but he has some challenges with them since they only prefer fiat currency which has been a challenge for him to meet up to his demands due to less fiat currency on him. He told me he will be spending up to a month in the village before going back to his state,he then asked how much is per night,which I told him and immediately he made a payment for twenty days with btc into my wallet,that he will move in the next day.
I don't if I am the only one not buying this story, someone going on a long trip will always want to have as much fiat as possible.


The truth is that,I have never had any customer that have lodged for straight two weeks due to the environment where the hotel is located. What are your contributions on this new change and suggestion in accepting bitcoin,does it means that businesses are suffering from fiat entrapments?
The fact that you now accept bitcoins will not still attract customers if your services are still unsatisfactory. I personally will not spend a night in a hotel with very unsatisfactory service just because they accept bitcoins.
Make some renovations, Improve your services and you will get more customers.
1655  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could this be an inspiration behind Bitcoin creation? on: December 27, 2022, 02:27:26 PM
I wouldn't be surprised if Satoshi was actually inspired by this.
Satoshi may not have had the thought to create a form of digital currency first, but history remembers him because he was the one who acted on the idea and made it work into a reality. They say ideas travel from one person to another until it is used. If you have an idea that you are slow to implement or do not implement, in some little time after you had the idea without use, you may be surprised to see that same idea been applied or used by another person. Ideas come to you to be used, not to be kept cold. History mostly remembers the doers, people who made things work, not the people who did not even try at all but had the intentions. This is why Satoshi is remembered because he made things work digitally with bitcoins.
1656  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Crypto-friendly politicians in government. on: December 26, 2022, 10:42:04 PM
it would be pertinent and of immense necessity that youths push to the frontline for support for politicians with crypto-friendly programmes, initiatives and policies in their manifesto.
Youths should support politicians who truthfully mean well for the country and not only the one's who make promises to them regarding cryptocurrency. Politicians can say all manner of things during the period of elections to win over the minds of people, but again it is not about saying it, but also about implementation. A young political candidate as president is what Nigeria needs , someone who can think for themselves without much assistance.

Cody Gakpo to Liverpool

Very surprising to me, I really was thinking that he will end up in Manchester United, but Liverpool have beat everyone to it.
Quote
Liverpool will pay £37m plus add-ons, up to £50m potential package.

The fact that Liverpool were still fighting to have him shows how unsatisfied they have been with Darwin Nunez who they expected to be very good for them.

Congratulations to Liverpool, Gakpo is a great player!

Yes, Nketiah successfully scored in the 69th minute, now the current score is Arsenal 3-1 West Ham. It is quite possible that Arsenal will scored again, because there are 5 minutes left. But I'm satisfied to see Arsenal which will to get 3 points today, of course to stay away from City because they are ready to chase from behind. Interesting game from Arsenal left behind one goal at half time did not reduce their mentality very impressive.
I think the most important player that scored today for his confidence is Nketiah, that goal is a very important goal for him to get his confidence level going. I was almost scared we were going to loose after entering the Halftime with Westhampton leading us by a goal. We showed very good composure to stick to game plan till the goals started coming in. I love the Attitude of these Arsenal players even after conceding a goal first.

We want to win!  We are now seven points clear!!

In summary, successful people are good at learning from every experience they have. It is because of this successful habit of learning quickly and avoiding such mistakes again is what distinguishes the successful from the unsuccessful.

Learning quickly from your experience not to remake the mistake is applicable to every aspect of life, in economics, in trading, in the society, and even in securing and HODLing your bitcoins.

Liverpool must be able to get 3 points against Aston Villa if they want to open up opportunities to be in the top fourth standing position, actually still not loss yet opportunity in Primer League tittle race for Liverpool in this season although behind 15 points left from Arsenal, consistency performance may help Liverpool back to be compete team for Primer League trophy.
Except the teams in Top Four loose the form they started in this season, I don't see this season as the season for Liverpool to even finish top four. If Liverpool gains consistency in their results and other teams are also consistent, the effort of Liverpool will still mean nothing. I am excited about the boxing day fixtures, good to have the EPL back! Rooting for Arsenal like I have always did, looking to see how we will manage without Gabriel Jesus until we are able to get Mudryk in January to take Martinelli to the forward. I believe that we will still win against West Ham.
