Except in the US, I have not heard of any law that gives investors the right to sue celebrities for promoting investments that ended up becoming scams. So these celebrities have the privileged of promoting any service or coin without verifying the credibility of these companies. They are mainly driven by greed and personal gains rather than the security of their followers. Even if there are laws that give such rights to victims of fraud, I would never accept any financial advice from any celebrity without doing my research and verifying the product or service. If I have any questions, the forum is big enough for solutions and answers. Anyone that is in a haste to make big gains will always be very easy to be scammed.

The only reason why the league title race is still open is because of the inconsistency of the dominant teams: Bayern Munich and Leverkusen. Both teams have not been consistent this season. It might also be that the performance of other teams has increased greatly. Games at the end of the season are hard to predict because even relegation-bound teams are improving their performance to avoid relegation. Predicting that Bayern will have a cheap victory against Schalke might not be the case because the latter is struggling to avoid relegation. The Bundesliga title is open for the three top teams but Leverkusen might likely win it because Tuchel has not fully stabilized the Bayern. Although they have won their two last games, the team is not yet stable. The best of Munich will be more visible next season.

I have gone through many comments about the late member TECSHARE and I am impressed by the kind of life he lived. Some people noted that they didn't agree with him on some issues but he was nice. He respected other people's views in the course of disagreement. From what I have read he was an active businessman and nobody came up with any accusation of fraud or cheating. He trusted people and he was dependable. This is how I want to be remembered when I leave this world because a good name is better than silver and good. My condolences to his family and friends.

OP don't be offended by the skepticism you experience when you broke the news. The world is now filled with evil that even good is assumed to be evil because of the fear of consequences of believing evil.

I don't blame some elderly people that lost money in stocks. They had to rely solely on brokers and financial advisers for investment advice. There was no internet when some of them invested in stocks, so they didn't have access to the kind of information the present generation have. Some of my teachers have died due to wrong financial advice that made them broke.

But relying on anybody for financial advice in this current era is a sign of laziness. There are diverse investment opportunities that anybody can discover through personal research. For those that have lost money, "sorry" and others that are seeking investment avenues  "do your research".

This is a good solution for those that don't depend on Bitcoin for daily business transactions. I know some businesses that are highly reliant on Bitcoin as a means of payment for imports. This will affect the business negatively. But for those that don't depend on bitcoin, there is no need to congest the Bitcoin network. This situation might also be designed by some forces to spread FUD. So we must do all we can to reduce the impact of their actions. This BRC-20 tokens hype will soon die down and the main pool will become free thereby leading to a drop in transaction fees. After all, this is not the first time such an attack is happening, bitcoin will surely overcome.

With high inflation, everybody is seeking avenues to make more money. But you have decided to give from the little you earn. This is an act of selflessness and a show of brotherly love. Thank you for telling people about Bitcoin and showing that Bitcoiners care about the welfare of the people in society. I also went you to follow up with Samson Appah because he might be interested in Bitcoin. If he is interested in Bitcoin, an Android phone or a fairly used laptop would have been an ideal gift. These are just my suggestions, maybe he needs the bicycle more.


I see myself as a Bitcoin promoter. Mass adoption of Bitcoin will be beneficial to the community. So I utilize every opportunity to create Bitcoin awareness. I am encouraging you to tell as many people as you can.

Financial reason is one of the major reasons why people migrate to other countries. But other reasons will discourage me from moving out of my country. Remember you cannot enjoy the rights and privileges you enjoy in your home country in a strange land. Sometimes you might suffer from racism or segregation because you are an immigrant. If I have a good online job that has a lucrative salary I might decide to remain in my country instead of going abroad and be treated as a modern slave.

Another alternative could be moving out of my country, endue the problems for a few years, raising capital, returning to my country, and starting up a good business.

The business world has a standard business approach that should be followed. It is possible that this user doesn't understand business ethics which was why he refused to respond. He might feel that since no party has performed any service or made any payment, the business can be called off without information. I have experienced this behavior many times with prospective clients. Maybe he has gotten another person to perform the service. But the ideal thing was to inform you of his final decision. He has not been active since April 26th, so there might be the possibility that he might be going through some unpleasant situation. However, Op took a good decision by requesting an escrow, and thank God nobody got cheated.

You have some highly needed skills that could get you are job on some freelancing websites. Sites like Upwork and will Fiverr be ideal places to get jobs in a few months. If you prove to clients that you are competent and reliable, you could land a high-paying job. You can also get jobs in the forum if you are skillful and you can build a good reputation. There are also periodic competitions in the forum where you can showcase your skil and win the prize money, but you can't rely on them for a steady income. Content writing can as be a good skill that can help you in building your account in the forum if you are interested. However, remember that job hunting requires patience and consistency.  You are welcome to the forum and I wish you the best in your job-hunting endeavor.

I also felt the same way in my early days in the forum. But if you are sure there are relevant knowledge you can share in a thread, the best option is to share it. This is because it will help the members of the forum and also increase your reputation. Being scared of making mistakes is normal but we all make mistakes. The only difference is that some people learn from corrections, while others become offended and fail to learn. We all are here to learn and learning involves mistakes and corrections. I have made some mistakes in the forum and some cases the response of members are unfriendly but I overlook the unpleasant words and learn from some useful responses. Just ensure that what you are posting will be beneficial and forget about the aftermath. Wishing you all the best.

My only potential option if I have N100,000 to invest will be to buy and hodl Bitcoin. My reason is that I have an interest mainly in long-term investment since I already have a trade that gives me daily income. But to answer your questions.

Low risk investment: I will consider buying cheap land in a rural area and keeping it for years. I will resell it when the price appreciates. Some farmlands in the interior area of my state can cost less than the amount stated above.

Medium risk investment: I will invest the money in buying of raw matreials such as cassava and using it to process garri that will be sold. Garri can be sold profitably in urban areas.

High-risk investment: it will be investing all in Bitcoin. Since the price is volatile, the coin is a high risked business. But it will be my first choice because I am not seeking instant profit.

Entrepreneurial education is important because citizens must be trained not to rely on the government for employment opportunities. Even in advanced countries, the main drivers of the economy are not the government but entrepreneurs. In my country currently, entrepreneurial education has been included in the scheme of work of students in high school to collages. This has led to an increase in self-employed people in society. But these businesses sometimes face tough challenges that make most of them collapse after a few years of establishment. Some of those problems are double taxation, hyperinflation, lack of basic amenities such as unstable electric power supply, and difficulty to access loan facilities.

Entrepreneurs are the drivers of the economy, but the government must create an enabling environment that will make these businesses survive. In many developed countries the government ensures that businesses are protected against external competitors. Just recently some counties in Europe announced that they would soon stop the importation of cheap grains from Ukraine because it was harming the local grain producers.

I also concur that Chelsea has almost all the players that they need to make them competitive but they don't have a natural goal scorer. They need a top nine that can convert all the chances they usually create, so they need to sign a striker. But their inability to qualify for the champions league will affect the quality of strikers they will attract. Every player's dream in Europe is to feature in the Champions League. There are also possibilities that some players will want to leave Chelsea for another club that will play champions league football, so the club needs to brace up for any uncertainty.

For now, the major challenge is to get a good coach. It is the coach that will determine the players he would work with and those he wants to leave. For me, Aubameyang should be allowed to leave because his performance is far below standard. But players like Mount, Kante, Costa, and other dependable players shouldn't be allowed to leave if they want to stay. The club should consider giving them a new contract.

OP you didn't state the position of the government of your nation concerning bitcoin. If Bitcoin is restricted or banned in your country, then the lecturer is correct. You are to respect the law of your country be it favorable or unfavorable. If the government of your country bans bitcoin you have no other option than to obey the law or leave to another country. Disobeying the law of the land can attract severe sanctions which could include jail term. I don't think it is a shame to obey the government.

But we should also understand that when we have the freedom to choose between economic choices, then we should make our own decisions based on our research or experience. In my country, the government encourages its citizen not to engage in any cryptocurrency transaction, but Bitcoin and other coins are not banned. It is now up to the citizens to decide if they will take the government's advice or not. For me, I chose to neglect their advice because I believe in Bitcoin.

Milan had a good game today because Lazio didn't show much ambition after they went down 2 goals to nil in the early minutes of the first half. I don't enjoy the game much because both clubs played less entertaining football and provided fewer goal-scoring opportunities. But it is an important three-point for Milan. Lazio just lost a chance to increase their grip on the second position. Hernández's was just extraordinary, it will compete for the goal of the season.

Roma is still struggling to get an equalizer in the match against Inter. The match has product many goal attempts but Inter is fortunate to have just one. This match is far from over because Mourinho is a good coach that can make some changes which can make the game to change in favor of Lazio.

Hope you are well aware that starting a new account @Sandra_hakeem is ban evasion so I don't think it is a piece of good advice. I don't also believe that the reason why members with high rank want thier accounts back after a ban is usually because they can't get merit. Yes, the main purpose of the forum is to learn about Bitcoin and contribute to the forum but it will be difficult to start as a beginner after enjoying the privileges enjoyed from a high-rank account. It will take an act of extraordinary courage to start as a newbie after being a Senior+ member.

@OP ensure you follow the rules of the forum as you appeal for the unbanning of your main account because committing more blunders might complicate your canvas of getting your desire.

TikTok is indeed used currently mainly for entertainment but that doesn't dispute the fact that it houses some educational content. I don't usually use TikTok but sometimes I usually stumble on some creative and inspiring contents from the social media platform. And OP just informed us that there is an interesting animation about Bitcoin and I think it is good content that is worth looking at if one has spare time.



We shouldn't assume that animated programs or materials are strictly for children. After all, adults also watch animated films and they are very interesting. Even in colleges and universities some academic materials or information are animated to simplify the content for easy understanding. One of the reasons behind the animation is to convey vital information simply and entertainingly making the learners assimilate the information in a relaxed manner. Instead of spending hours watching movies, looking at this animated material about Bitcoin in one's spare time is not a bad idea. I bet you will learn something new. This doesn't dispute the fact that we shouldn't stop reading as adults.

Let's be truthful, you might not post up to 25 posts in a week if you are not in a paid campaign. You might decide to use your time on something else that might bring financial benefit. A signature campaign should not be seen as a full-time job but having a post quota gives participants the responsibility of performing the task they are been paid for. If you allow participants to post naturally some might just do a few posts and relax which affects the main focus of the promotional campaign. Every firm that runs a campaign program wants their products to be promoted around the forum so having a bunch of unserious posters will negate their objectives.

It is also important to state that joining a campaign is not by force and different campaigns have their requirements so you should choose the one that suits you. Most campaign managers don't just pay attention to post quota but post quality. Some quality posters/members will never be removed from a campaign because they didn't complete their post quota.

In summary, post quotas are important because the campaign manager and the firm have plans and targets. Post quality is more important than just completing post quota. And if you are not comfortable with the rules of a campaign, don't join.

In this time of economic problems, people are more concerned about cutting costs. If you offer products with cheaper prices, the business will attract more customers. So every business shouldn't focus on making huge profit but the target should be how to attract more customers. This is because more customers will lead to higher profits. So business owners should seek quality products that have competitive prices.


Having many customers and making a small profit from each sale might be better than having few customers and making a huge profit from them. An example is having 10 customers that you make $10 from each of them and having 100 customers that you make $2 from each of them. The former will bring $100 and the latter $200. Attracting more customers is an important factor in business growth and profitability.

If the well-to-do keep remembering that there are people that need help and set aside some funds for their welfare the world will gradually be a better place. But the world now is driven by greed and materialism where people want to lavish their money on temporal pleasures. I am not the judge here because everybody has the freedom to spend his income as he/she desires. OP what you have done is extraordinary. Looking at the picture, I can see the level of poverty of the people and that they really need help. You have put smiles on the face of many and they will never forget these kind gestures.

Apart from giving them food items, you can organize a skills acquisition program where they can learn some basic skills that can empower them to secure jobs. Exposing them to some opportunities online and giving them some cheap Android phones might help to give them little income that can help them take care of their needs.
