Bitcoin isn’t necessarily the steps to wealth. You shouldn’t be under the illusion that one could get wealthy overnight just cause of bitcoin. Like literally with all things, you could only reap the gains or profit if you put in time and effort. Bitcoin is same. You would need perseverance to be able to hold for the long run and that’s what you should be aiming at.

And you also shouldn’t be looking to bitcoin to get rich. Bitcoin, like all investments are risky and the need to diversify is yet again reiterated.

I want to thank every member that contribute immensely to my growth and the growth and development of the forum in his/her own unique way.
To The Pharmacist and other members who contribute meaningfully as well as helped me along; thank you for what you do.

Cheers to continuous learning and enlightenment..

Yes, I totally agree that an employer should hire employees that are smarter than him. In my opinion, that’s a great strategy. They would bring their brains and skills to the workplace which in turn would bring about effective and optimal results in the long run.

Obviously, an employer of labor has to employ someone as he couldn’t possibly do all the work himself. That’s why he has to employ someone. Now, every employer would want to hire the most suitable candidate for the job and that is usually the brightest among the bunch.

Not everyone can start up a business, weather the storm over the years as there would be a lot of bad storms and later be some fancy top notch CEO. You just have to hire the best so your business would thrive.

I heartily welcome you to the forum. You mentioned you have a lot of questions and you’re hoping for an answer. If that’s true, you’ve come to the right place and you can be rest assured that all your questions would be answered. So, feel free to ask anything you don’t understand.

I would advise anyone coming into cryptocurrencies to first stay away from other alt coins. Focus more on understanding bitcoin and what it entails. With other alt coins, you’re more likely to fall prey to some dubious scam projects that is destined to fail from the onset.

Be open to opinions and be original. That way, we would all learn from each other. Don’t hesitate to ask whatever questions you might have. Someone would definitely give you an answer. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the rules! Don’t fret, You’re going to be alright.

It’s all about control. Any government would love to have absolute control over its citizens. A controlled citizenry is every government dream. While the government, having little or no control over its citizens use and adoption of bitcoin gets them scared.

They want something they could control and regulate. Bitcoin isn’t having any of that and that fact makes them jittery. So they go all out to spread propaganda and false claims to get people to fear and avoid bitcoin. But as bitcoin adoption gradually increases, these propaganda and untruths are steadily being debunked.

I think that there is an increase in threads about teaching students, pastors and now a nephew about bitcoin. I’m not against trying to enlighten folks about bitcoin.
I do not want to doubt the OP intentions of teaching his nephew about bitcoin, yet I’m inclined to think accolades is what’s desired here.

I think an addiction, no matter what it is, is not good. And I wouldn’t advise you to indulge in any form of addiction(bitcoin included).
You mentioned you’ve got 99.99% of your funds in bitcoin. Although that may be applauded by some, I would say it isn’t a good nor smart move. I personally think it’s strange

You do not put all your eggs into a basket; no matter how sturdy it is. That’s why you should share your eggs into various baskets. Diversification is important. I also think you should hold more than .001 of your funds in fiat as it’s undeniably more widely accepted and used.

Wikipedia defines screen time as the amount of time spent using a device with a screen such as a smartphone, computer, television or a video game console.

After years of willfully keeping away from the steering wheel, I finally decided to go in and get a license to drive a vehicle.
Time for a vision test and I’m like, this would be real easy. I was so wrong. I had always thought I’ve got perfect eye sight as I could see quite clearly from a distance.

I couldn’t pick out the small figures and alphabets that was displayed as they became blurry as I tried to focus on it. After lots of awkward smiles and pleading with my eyes, I passed the vision test with the minimum score.
I recently went in to get my eyes checked and it’s likely I would need a prescription glasses.

I read quite a lot and have slowly been deviating from paperback to reading on the kindle over the years. Been advised to cut back on my screen time but I had thought as I’m not old, my eyesight would remain hawk eyed. I was wrong.

I would like to advise y’all to cut back on your screen time if you can. Put down your devices and take a walk or something.

Our eyes grow weak with age but they also get weaker at a much faster pace when continuously strained.
There are loads of eye defects that you may just be able to prevent With a healthy diet. These eye defects creep in slowly and would go unnoticed until it blossoms and becomes difficult to cure or manage.

We could try and include fishes like salmon, sardines; nuts and legumes  like walnuts, cashews( fruits like oranges and grapefruits; eggs and a whole lot of water in our diet.
I’ve learnt water does a lot of things in the body apart from regulation of our body temperature.

We all need to take better care of our eyes as well as cutting back on some screen time.

Right you are my good man. Teams win and not Individual stars.
It isn’t just a player who plays but a squad of players who are equally important. Each player has a role to play in the squad and is as equally valuable and important as the striker who scored goals.

I think Argentina has a strong chance of winning this World Cup as it has a lot of experienced though somewhat old players. I think in this scenario, experience trumps old. I know we’re going to see an exciting World Cup this time around.

Argentina has a superb squad. And with their recent performance, has made them a sure candidate to win the World Cup. Argentina has a lot of good players on the squad and don’t entirely rely on Messi.

Admittedly, there are older players on the squad. But they are more experienced, having played professional football their entire career. I think Argentina, however great their team is,, would face a lot of tough teams in this World Cup. It’s going to be exciting to watch every game.

I think Ronaldo meant all what he said. He obviously doing all this out of frustration as we can all see how he reacts when he gets frustrated. Ronaldo is a great player, everyone knows that and there is no doubt about that.

Would you fault the coach cause he didn’t give Ronaldo playing time on the field? I wouldn’t. The manager has the right to put any player he wants in the game and bench anyone as well. Ronaldo is a great player but a player nevertheless and is subject to whatever decisions the manager makes.

Editing my application and reapplying for a member slot as I recently got ranked up to a full member.

People do extreme and crazy things when seemingly backed into a corner. The recent events has spooked a lot of people and things are not looking bright at the moment. All these are experienced when venturing into investments.

Most people fear and do not trust what they don’t know and with all the recent drama, the negativity is spreading even more and people would be influenced by it.

With investments, it’s always best to play it safe and not go all in so there would not be any regrets that would induce crazy thoughts and actions.

It has been reiterated countless times on the need to keep and store your coins off exchanges as it has been proven a couple of times about how unsafe exchanges are, and with the latest drama involving FTX, the point is proven once again.

These are some of the crypto exchanges that has either been hacked, had some sort of a security breach or has downright folded up and when it occurred.
1. Altsbit - Feb 2020
2. Uniswap- April 2020
3. Balancer- June 2020
4. Cashaa- July 2020
5. Hotbit- April 2021
6. Ascend EX- December 2021 and just recently,
7. FTX- November 2022

These breaches are just some as recent as two years.
Exchanges such as those listed above would promise top notch security and encourage people to do business with them and when breached, it’s same people who would be at the receiving end.

These hacks and breaches in these exchanges does not fare well for the crypto market as it could get existing and potential new investors jittery.

So, like the heading says, do not make crazy suicidal moves in this bear market.
The recent FTX drama involving hundreds of millions of dollars stolen has resumed the barraging attacks on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general by critics and naysayers.

Bitcoin has withstood these attacks and proven all ye naysayers out there wrong and would continue to do so.
So I’m pretty much putting it out there to chill and not make any rash decisions that would be regretted later on. And also to reiterate the fact that exchanges are a no no for keeping your coins.

Thank you for your time.

Thanks! It’s nice to know someone found it helpful. I have heard about the Pomodoro technique but haven’t really applied it. Nice technique though.

I’m quite fond of the Eisenhower decision matrix as it helped me stay prioritized and focused more on important things I needed done.
