You started well. Going through the forum is good because you will be able to be abreast with the operations of the forum. It will help you get used to the forum and contribute meaningfully to the forum. It will also assist you to know the rule of the forum so that you will abide by them. Some members violate the rule not intentionally but because they are not aware of the forum laws. My advice is that you keep learning by reading and contributing in areas you feel you can. This forum is like a free institution, keep asking questions and you will get your answers from members of this community.

If cash has intrinsic value why we're people carrying cash in wheelbarrows to buy basic needs in Zimbabwe and Somaliland? The value of any currency is its worth in the market. How much goods it can buy is the value of any currency. As much as I know, holding or using any currency is a risk because none has a constant value.

And it is important to note that anything can be used as money and it will have value. If people in my country refuse to use the national currency as a medium of exchange and decide that human hair is now the means of exchange, human hair will immediately start having value. If people decide to use Bitcoin, its value will also go high and the government can do nothing about it. If the government decides to give its citizens freedom to choose the currency they want to transact with, many will choose Bitcoin and the government knows that's why they are using force to enforce compliance to their bad policies.

Al-Hilal was busy enjoying ball possession while Al Biten was taking all the changes they could have to push their attack. The match is an indication that it is not the team that plays the most entertaining football that finally wins. Al Biten is doing everything possible to escape relegation. Although they are at the bottom of the table but if they can win all their game and another team's performance becomes low, they might come out of the relegation zone. While Al-Hilal lost the opportunity to advance to the top four spots. The end of the season is a very interesting moment in every league because there will always be surprising performances and results.

Running a few advertisements on social media would attract more people to the forum but it will come with some challenges. It will attract a whole range of people that might not have any interest in bitcoin. There will be a high rate of shitposters, scammers, and spammers. So it will have to take extra effort to clean up the forum because most of these new members will treat the forum like social media. The majority of people that register currently in this forum are either referred to the forum or found it through research. The above two mediums will help to reduce the influx of uninterested members.

I don't think members will reduce drastically because Bitcoin awareness is spreading speedily. And Bitcoin price is not doing badly recently which means that more people will be attracted to the sector and the forum.

I must confess that I find your post interesting but it is very difficult for me to understand the write-up. Most people are in this forum not really because of the gain from the group but because they have confidence that Bitcoin will always be a good currency and investment. As you said, they are believers in this currency. But it might not be proper to relate or compare the confidence you have in Bitcoin and the forum to the faith some people have in their creator. some religions believe that their God is all-powerful and infallible and I don't that Bitcoin or bitcointalk can have such kind of influence.

Small small this thread don dey bring good places wey person fit go set up mining business. I bin go visit my friend for Afam one time and the guy carry me go the electricity generating plant. My people I see massive big generator wey dey produce power. My man even tell me say dem no dey pay NEPA bill because na the community dey host NEPA but the light no too steady the way eh dey before because some of the generating set done spoil. Dem arrange some of those power generators since 1982 and the government no dey maintain the station. But I still agree say Afam na good place to mine if them dey still they get constant and free electricity.

I never expected that Manchester City will win this match with three goal margin. My predictions was that the game will be a draw because of the presence of Tuchel, but I was surprise to see Bayern play so badly. City was so strong in that game that I began to wonder if they were really playing against a top class team like Bayern. Thomas Tuchel is still new in the club, so I don't expect him to have instant result because he needs time to fix the team. But the return leg in Allianz Arena might be a different game because the Bayern team has the quality to score goals. If they can fix their defensive errors and attack massively, they might get a good result at home.  


In the champions league anything can happen. Benfica played very poorly but it is possible that they might come back strong in the second leg. We had expected them to get a good result result at home, but it turned out to be the opposite but it is not over until the end of the second leg.
Napoli-Milan game is unpredictable because Napoli is one of the best in Europe but their recent performance is making me doubt their ability to beat Milan. But based on their past performance, Napoli might win this game convincingly.  

I will not totally agree that the war did not affect Russians negatively. But I will believe that this invasion have both affected the economy of Russia positively and negatively. Russians are now buying locally made products which is a good thing to the Russian economy. Local industries now have less competition from foreign product which will make them make profit and increase employment opportunities. Russians have been forced to negotiate trade using the Russian Ruble which help to reduce their overreliance on the US dollars. The negative implication is that there are lesser foreign direct investment, limited product substitute, unemployment and reduced transfer of technology.

But I will also accept that the US and NATO underestimated the Russian economy. They thought their multiple sanctions will cripple the invader's economy, but they were surprise that their predictions failed. It is clear that Russia have prepared for this war and the resultant sanctions. The economy seems to be sanction proof.           

My parents also struggled to raise us because the income of my parents is far below what they needed to raise us. So we had to struggle to survive but it became worst when one of my parent died. The reason why most household suffer is basically because of low income. Others suffer because of waste or overspending. Some people tend to spend on what they don't really need. The number of children in the family also affect how well the family will fair financially.    

Financial freedom based on my perspective is the ability to afford all you need without taking loans or buying on credit. It is when you income or investment can afford you needs.  I don't know where you are based but 1Bitcoin is worth millions in my country's currency. If you can afford to buy one bitcoin, you are rich in my county. But buying one bitcoin is not a guarantee that you have attained the level of financial freedom. You might be able to attain that level if the price of bitcoin increases to a record high and you invest the profit you made on another business. But if the price remain the same or goes down your hope will be dashed.  

The dollar is to a large extent more stable than most currencies, which is why it was using it for international trade is convenient. International trade will be more complex if the dollar is ditched because some local currencies are highly volatile.

Chinese Yuan seems to be the currency that might want to compete with the dollar, but there has not been a consensus that it will be the alternative. Except for the BRICS nation adopts the Chinese currency or they decide to introduce a common currency, there is still no agreement of which currency to adopt.
The best decision would be let every nation accepts other nation's currency in international trade.

Most of these nations pushing for de-dollarization simply want to make their currency stronger. It would have been better for every nation to switch to another currency that is not centrally controlled. And bitcoin would have been a good alternative to the dollar because it is decentralized and no country will feel cheated. And making bitcoin the international payment currency might make it more stable and less volatile.

Brotherly ONELGA go make sense die since them they get steady light because most of the electric plants there they use gas turbine.The place also make sense because na semi- urban area and the place also get basic amenities way fit make life sweet small. But my only issue with the place na insecurity. Bro. The place bin raze to the extent say people bigin dey sell their property cheap. If those men come get intel say you dey mine Bitcoin, them go just open office for your head. Before you know elders, youths even women go begin come for compensation because them go feel say you dey make billions for their community.


Although I never get info about electricity for Bonny Island but the place fit bi the ideal place for this mining project. The place dey peaceful and them still get the same oil company settings like ONELGA. You fit even run electricity package with some companies their if you get connection for the firm.

Another thing wey fit discourage miners for Naija na the cost of importing mining equipment. I no sure say any company for Africa dey produce those facilities. Another Wahala fit bi how to maintain the facilities because people wey dey fix am fit no dey for our country.

But I no lie oh, this mining business go bi very coded way to make small money because many people no go know wetin you dey produce.

I hope you know that the well-being of your household should be your main priority. If your income is less than or equal to the amount you need to make them comfortable, just focus on them. Opportunities to invest will always be available. Investment is good but you won't subject your family to suffering because you want to invest in Bitcoin.

You can also observe areas in your expenses that can be reduced or cut to make you have little savings. Seeking another means of income like taking a side hustle or starting a business that will not affect your full-time job might be helpful. As your increase your rank on the forum, you can earn Bitcoin through signature campaigns or winning competitions.

Business owners are humans and some humans are straightforward while others are not transparent. Some casinos keep their promise and they are also open to public scrutiny. While other are not and they keep their business dealing secretly so that customers will never have access to them. I am sure that some casinos fulfill all their promotion promises to their customers because they want to maintain or increase their reputation. While others don't care about what people think or say about them because their main focus is not to satisfy customers but to make outrageous profits.

Your analogy is interesting and I can see the picture you are painting. But I want to relate it to investing and building a business. Starting a business is very difficult because one have to engage in so many activities like planning, seeking funds, choosing a location, employing staff, advertising, and seeking customers. But as you strive to settle these issues one after another, the business becomes easy to manage or run. That is why every investor must be patient and persistent at the beginning of the business without that the business will underperform or even collapse.


I want to commend you for your simple writing style OP. But you can always edit your post by using the edit button. Regardless of how old the post is, it can be edited. Paragraphs make your work attractive and easy to read.

In life, you try to control what you can and do all you can to minimize the effect of what you cannot control. In my country, you cannot be anonymous unless you don't buy anything or do any financial transactions. Or you decide not to own a phone which is not possible for now. But there are a few things you can do to increase your chances of remaining unknown. One of the ways is to stay away from social media. Some persons are so addicted to these platforms that they can write their autobiographies through detail on their social media platforms. They are in the market, bank, or home on the street, it will be uploaded to their social media account.

Another way is that instead of keeping your money in banks or exchanges, become your bank through a centralized wallet. Exchanges and bankers will always want to know more things about you. They will keep asking for more information until they know virtually everything about you.

We keep hearing more news about the financial scandals that Ftx and its owners engaged in. He was just selfish and don't consider that the money he was spending recklessly was people's hard-earned income. Don't be surprised if the FBI uncovers that this young man even gave a bribe to a past or present president of a nation for asylum or presidential pardon in advance.

He is not yet guilty until a court convicts him. Like every other suspect he was placed on bail and he was able to fulfill his bail conditions which is why he is at home. The court always denies bail to suspects that were trying to escape or had escaped before during trial. SBF has shown that is willing to face the law which was why he didn't challenge his extradition to the US. His special treatment is a result of rh wealth of his parents. Some people are still in custody because they don't have the money or connections to fulfill their bail conditions.

Any country that will enact this certificate policy will lose a lot of revenue and investment opportunities. Gambling firms will avoid the country because they will not have many customers.

This certificate will require KYC and many people are always scared by these policies.

Getting a certificate might also attract some costs that would be paid by gamblers. People might have to undergo some expensive tests to check if they are addicts or not.

It can also be time-consuming and cumbersome to acquire.

This policy can also give rise to an increase in illegal and unregistered gambling because people that want to invade these restrictions will patronize more risky gambling firms.

Don't give more attention to posting. Dedicate your time to reading about Bitcoin and the forum. Your focus now shouldn't be to grow but to gain knowledge. If you have sound information about Bitcoin and the forum, you will naturally grow. However, growth in this forum is a product of merit and activity. You can get merit when you do quality posts that give information, answer a question or solve a problem. Merits are like likes on social media and the more merit you get the higher your membership level.
Activity is determined by your age and consistency in the forum. Your activity grows as you spend more time and make contributions. Just  ba patient and learn.

Eating a balanced diet, good sleep, and constant exercise are very important to everyone. There is no need of holding your Bitcoin when you or your family members are dying of hunger There will always be many opportunities to buy because Bitcoin is still in its early stage. Medical attention is also important. Sometimes because you don't want to spend much on medicals some persons engage in home remedy practice or self-medication which is not proper. We should not also engage in different jobs because we want to invest. These jobs will always overstretch us and make us miss rest, sleep, and exercise. Some people sleep less than four hours per day because they want to earn and invest more in Bitcoin.

People will always say that they want to live an inheritance for their children or they want to make their children financially stable. How are you sure your children will make proper use of these investments? We should take care of ourselves because we have just one life to live.

Finding a niche is one of the basic qualities of a business that will perform well but it has some challenges. A niche is an improvement of an existing idea or offering something new or different. Customers will gladly accept such service or product but it attracts extra cost to the goods or services. A firm that sells electronics and offers free installation service will have to employ more staff. New products sometimes are not accepted by customers easily. Most times people are used to particular goods and they don't want to use or try another one. But when the firm starts succeeding it will outshine all competition.
