1721  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the future of cryptocurrency?? on: October 04, 2023, 07:49:13 PM
Your question is open and can go in any direction.

However the future is very bright for cryptocurrency and bitcoin being the king already adopted by El Salvador few years back is a sign that it is coming to global recognition. More adoption by institutions and conglomerates will boost the market, already I read on  this thread
that Honda motors is accepting payment of their cars in bitcoin. This is a big adoption waiting to be followed by other big private investors. It is a great value that has been added to cryptocurrency in general.
1722  Economy / Economics / Re: Ideas without action: An overview of a successful entrepreneur and a dreamer. on: October 04, 2023, 06:59:59 PM
It is true that not everyone takes adequate and necessary steps towards the idea they have in other to make it work as planned, in every task ahead of us are also some requirements that are involved in them that makes the task deserves our relentless efforts to make it all happened as we wanted, some ideas only die along the way like smoke because they are just a mere dream that lack the further procedures towards it's realization, same also applies to every dreamers who have their own goals but refused to work on it, not until we are determined to offer the required sacrifice to see a dream come through, we may end having them only on an idea level.

I think the major dream killer is procrastination. Many people who have not been able to carry out their dreams did procrastinated over it and that caused them the zeal to carry on with it. We need zeal to be able to move our dream away from mere wishful thinking to manifestation of reality. It requires a drastic step to carry out ideas like those who have achieved in the areas of technology, science or medicine, they had to deprive theirselves certain comfort before they could innovate whatever they had dream of. Those with scientific minds didn't give up until they have achieved in their field, example in electricity, automobile etc.

The state's minimum wage for all other workers — $15.50 per hour — is already among the highest in the United States.



This is surely a good news for the chef guys and those in that industry at $20 per hour but this is my concern above. If there is difference between those in the fast food industry and the general work force minimum wage, I think that will cause new chase of job to fast foods and abandoning of old jobs which will bring a little complications to employers. Workers like higher pay so maybe it should be made uniform . However, I understand it was meant to create value in the fast food workers so they are not treated as less value area to work in.

You can't be surprised about the growth so far because the internet has recorded great traffic and every business outfit want to take their business not only to the door steps of the customers but to their beds. During the COVID-19 pandemic, that was when the work from home increased and today virtually all businesses now exist online, some creating different apps to make you comfortable patronizing them, of course the competition is high even among casinos and they are creating different features to keep winning new gamblers and retaining old players.

True. Not every victim is innocent. Sometimes they are unknowingly break the ToS of the casino and then they claim they didn’t do any wrongdoings. They aren’t lying since they don’t know what offense they committed. Sometimes on the other hand, they just lie because it is easier to blame somebody else for his own mistakes. It is just human nature. People don’t like to take responsibility for their own actions sometimes. Even murderers do this because if they come up with a story that’s good enough, the judge might believe that it was self-defense.



In the case of casino, most complaints have violated the rules before they get a ban from the casino. In the case of crime, the judge may know that the accused is lying I might till have mercy on the person not to give very hard judgement or punishment but casinos protect their image and will hardly go back from the ban because they don't want to lose money from the player again. In casino business, it is between the player and the casino and so it is more serious, if the gambler gets a ban it means they have done some cheating against them. I understand your but though but we need to be sure that the player who is complaining is fair enough before complaining.
1727  Economy / Economics / Re: Honda Now Accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum As Payment Methods on: October 04, 2023, 01:27:37 PM

*Is this news big enough to trigger market uptrend in the coming weeks, months?

This is good news and at the right time to cause huge use of bitcoin. I think hodlers of bitcoin won't find it difficult to spend their coin on buying luxury cars rather than making huge payment of fiat to buy car. This is good and more giants in the automobile industry will follow what Honda has done. This is huge adoption news and more like this will cause the price of bitcoin to rise and its value also. I hope Honda continue this adoption move so that more financial institutions will be encouraged to come in.
1728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you manage greed to place your bet on: October 04, 2023, 10:28:56 AM

But recently something came into me to start increasing my wager above my limits due to a game that was predicts to me it gives me all possibilities that I could cash out big time. This now made me to come here to asked how do you control your greed with your bet amount, do you go ahead placing the bet as your minds speaks or do only maintain to your limits whether it plays or not doesn't matter.


This kind of feeling in gambling is normal. Maybe you have played successfully for sometime and you feel you could take up more risk. We all feel that way and it is okay to feel that way. On the other hand too you might be having lesser wins and you want to try a bigger luck by increasing your risk appetite. Whichever way it is, you are not alone on it but you have to know that you are over stepping into your budget incase you lose you might start feeling bad.

So what you need to do is to increase your budget to also take care of the new risk your are undertaking because while you had your initial budget, you already had your mind on either losing it or increasing it, so likewise now that you have increase your staking power you also should increase your budget for it. It is alright to take a bigger risk because of the expected profit but you need the emotion to handle the loses also.
1729  Economy / Economics / Re: Do we truly need cbdc when bitcoin already exist? on: October 03, 2023, 09:58:25 PM

There is a truth that you need to accept that, whether we need CBDC or not, it will still be issued by the government and in the further future, it can even completely replace paper money. So as long as the government still controls us, it is mandatory for us to use fiat or CBDC in the future, we have no choice whether we want that to happen or not.  



I don't see the usefulness of CBDC over fiat. The government is only using CBDC as the digital version of their money and therefore it won't replace fiat. Fiat is going nowhere because of its traditional role it does, there are things you need to buy and you don't need either btc or CBDC. Also, countries that are yet to have CBDC may prefer to rely on usdt or other stable coins instead. So whether the government choose to use CBDC or not, fiat will still be around.
1730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which games offer the best chance of a big win? on: October 03, 2023, 08:01:59 PM
Which on is crypto game?

I see all games to bring winning, the chance in the casino games are proportional to their odd. The higher the chance the lower the odd while the lower the chance the higher the odd. It is left for you which one that you prefer.

If it is sport, you have lower odds. Casinos are better I am post is about casinos alone just as it is in your question.

I also would say it depends on the odds and the risk taken in terms of how much used to stake on it. Like you said in sports games, so in lower odds game, the gambler goes on to place a higher stake on it if he feels the game will turn out to favour him  And so if a game that doesn't have the winning advantage, the gambler doesn't risk much on it  Therefore, it depends on some factors like the odds and how much stake placed on the bet.
1731  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Too much pressure on the male child on: October 03, 2023, 07:34:55 PM
Why you want to blame? Nobody force you to be responsible, nobody force you to pay taxes too, nobody force you must have two kids, you do it at your own discretion, and you even knowingly agree to it to the point you willing to be bond in a contract for many years.

There is a lot that government is responsible for these points you raised. It is the government that force someone to be responsible. Whether you are married or not, the government does not permit you to become a nuisance to the state and so you would find yourself behind bars if you don't conform to the societal norms, values and laws . If you evade tax is already a crime that you can be punished on.

There are roles that government should take in supporting the family system like giving out scholarships and other social responsibilities, it is important and that is why governance is a social contract.
Yes social contract between the citizens and the state,  but in as much as citizens have a great role to play in the up bringing of the child,  the government who is the larger society is also responsible for making provisions for the integration of the child into the society as a responsible citizen of the states.

The point of forcing a responsibility on the male child all in the name of just being the male without adequate provisions of support line is what we call abuse on the male child,  and that is the situation in most third world countries.

I understand your point and that is appropriate but the last of your statement of abuse on the child, it doesn't constitute an abuse if the child is made to be responsible. It is a role that has naturally come on the shoulder of a man to take care of a family. Although the government has a lot to do to help support the male child because most of the earlier opportunities have been given to the female gender and they are having more access to jobs etc.
1732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Educate yourself to be a frugal gambler on: October 03, 2023, 04:47:48 PM


This is based, I have a close friend who is a slot player who always plays at Gates of Olympus even though the RTP at that time isn't good, he doesn't care about winning or losing later, all he knows is that he's playing a game he likes. I can't give him any advice, because whatever I say, he will definitely ignore it. Unlike him, I'm a type of gambler who is more mature in terms of seeking profit which is in line with seeking entertainment.

In other words, there is a need for gamblers to balance their betting and risk taking. We have to do more reasonable betting so that we don't go astray.  In all we do including gambling, we should listen to people who are close to us regards our over zealous ambition for winning big. Sometimes advise safe us from loses, I have been a witness to this at a game house where someone gave another bettor the games he lined up to bet and he was advised to drop two of them and behold those two games were games that would have caused him losing the bet
1733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 03, 2023, 04:06:01 PM

I will prefer to look for an alternative means to have fun.

I think this statement for those who don't gamble at all will be like seriously. I believe that people who feel they can't do without gambling as a means of relaxation and fun are driving into being addict or addict already.

Anyway, gambling till old age doesn't show you are a good planner. At least before old age, a gambler should have set him self up properly on other investment that will be generating money from. To stay as gambler till old age as a grandpa then what will the grand children will learn. No I don't think it is a good character to exhibit to the young people around .
1734  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: bc.game not honouring deposit bonus on: October 03, 2023, 02:50:32 PM

But if his deposits are subject to the bonus conditions which is wagering before withdrawal that means the casino is out to play games with the ops and that should be seen as a big red alert to others.

If casino stated somewhere in the bonus conditions like to wager before the bonus can be activated for withdrawal depending on how many times to wager then whoever is entering for such should be aware of such conditions.

I'm only reacting based on if there are conditions to the bonus yet to be met.

I think either some one else having same issue can corroborate op's challenge or the team response. I have seen op has also made a post on their ANN. Hopefully, it will be resolved for him.

The real estate business na better one and I dey even hear real estate companies say the area still dey untapped for business. Wetin I surely know say na wey don dey for long and old people don ignorantly invest in it for long when them go build house put tenant and from there dey feed and train children for school. The business just dey get face lift lately as job no too dey you come dey see different types of people dey go into land agents and house rentage.

1737  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Differences between bitcoin trading and forex trading on: October 03, 2023, 12:24:03 PM
@Gozie51
Bitcoin is very volatile than United States dollar and pounds sterling, but in long term, the volatility is in the uptrend direction. So if you hold bitcoin, we all know that you will gain more than if you hold dollar or sterling. Also bitcoin is still volatile than gold. I think one of the reasons is that the marketcap of gold is far higher. But anyone that complain of the volatility, bitcoin is more volatile and better in RoI than any of them. But as the marketcap of bitcoin is increasing, the volatility is also reducing.

My guy unless you dey talk regards to hodling bitcoin but wetin me I dey talk na say for trading it on a daily. So for IMO oo, if you use gold against USD, or silver against USD, or pounds against USD, I no think say btc dey volatile pass dem on ROI wey dem dey give traders. Me I no be trader but I dey watch these two different markets from time to time. At least if you don see jeffery benson video you go fit relate with wetin I dey yarn.

However, I dey talk on daily basis trade and no be for hodling.
1738  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Tirement/Retirement (old age) food for thoughts on: October 03, 2023, 09:11:07 AM

Whenever we fails to plan we ends ups living a life full of regret, the amount of money spent on enjoy can secure a good land in your community even though you don't plan to develop them anytime soon but you children will appreciate you in time to come for securing such land for them. Most people don't want to be deprived from enjoying themselves but truth be told, reflect back to your starting and know that you still have no  much time to fixed things up at the end of their lives the will apportion blames to their uncle and their relatives for not helping them.



You see ehn... This enjoyment thing, we fit still dey enjoy our lives while still planning and achieving it, the thing na to fix ourselves for better resources so that as e dey come den we dey enjoy, plan and invest more. The challenge wey we dey get be say people dey only want rely on only one single income and people no go really fit breath with that kind of source income. Because anyhow wey we look at life, enjoyment no dey bad and if enjoyment na to feed yourself well and take care of inner health then that means say we dey even expose ourselves to health conditions wey be say if e attack, na bigger problem and the little wey we want save to deprive the inner organs wetin e need.

My point be say we suppose also take care of ourselves not really that enjoyment dey bad, we can do that while planning and investing but diversifying our income so that we fit still breath as we run the family. If we get more stream of income then a reasonable person go do well with that.
1739  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Tirement/Retirement (old age) food for thoughts on: October 03, 2023, 08:14:19 AM
This na food for thought indeed because if we see old people today, e no mean say e no get time wey dem dey young and can run faster than some of us now self but today dem no fit even stand well, not to talk of cross road, jump gota pass and even help themselves.

Them say if you look the lips of old woman e go be like e no get when she take am suck her mama breast, meaning say e also get when old people be tata.

But the koko be say na to look at the life wey those old people live ask questions about their past and then check their achievement as dem don old so.

For the old people levels too make we no forget say some of them plan well and it ended well for them and some also plan well and e no end well for them onto say many things fit still dey involved like destiny and all that, as dem say man propose god disposes, so God go still determine how things go turn out.

However, make we still plan good now and grace of God go see us through. Amen.

Na so I see am because somethings too no be on how you get strength reach or how you fit take plan or work but to work smart and pray say make God shine him light, increase and favour us.

3 Volatility, bitcoin na currency wey de experience highs and lows within a short period of time, so dat one make am to be volatile. Also plenty bitcoin de in di hands of a few individuals wey be whales, and if any of dis big fish come sell dem bitcoin, e go sharply affect di price. While plenty big traders de inside forex, and di volume of trades for forex pairs no de make am  experience volatility like bitcoin.


For the level of volatility, me I know think say btc dey volatile pass forex or fiat. Btc fit only dey that volatile from time to time like when major news hit the crypto market like if one whale just decide to dump on the market or buy huge or even begin hype one coin, maybe bitcoin or altcoin. Another time wey btc dey get such volatility na during halving bull. But on a normal, we no fit carry btc volatility compare market wey every country currency dey involved wey dey interchange about 6 trillion dollars on a daily basis.

If you look at the volume of pairs like pounds, dollars on daily we dey trade we go know. For example pairs like gold or silver paired with dollar na something wey dey dreaded with volatility and they are traded in the forex. Pairs wey like pounds and dollar too na very volatile fiat.
