1761  Other / Politics & Society / Re: peasant have short memory, they quickly forget all the shady thing done to them. on: December 24, 2023, 09:04:36 PM

I think very soon peasant would begin to worship billionaires again, it is not a "what if", it is just typical animal do animal thing.

These peasants are the ones that have chosen the slave mentality, they live to please their masters, accepting whatever that is thrown at them. In reality some people have been brainwashed to believe that without some certain influential and wealthy people, that they'll amount to nothing, and this wealthy masters will never give them something substantial that can change their lives, they'll only give the poor guys barely enough resources that can change their lives, so they'll forever depend and remain grateful to them.

It takes to see the light by being enlightened and mixing with positive minded people to emancipate from the mental slavery, it starts with people in that category to know their rights and fight for it.

Although this is not easy to achieve, because even after knowing your rights, without the resources to survive on your own, some might find themselves going back to their vomit, by going back to their oppressors just for a plate of meal.

Tips for extraordinary investment growth
    There is a simple strategy we use to achieve a fast altcoin growth. We make it simple. We chose LOW ranked coins whit a high rank number. Those coins whit less circulating supply have a much greater chance to reach multple thousand percent growth.



    Good luck whit following my investment advice!!

    Meny, meny Thanks!!
     


The strategy sounds amazing in theory, but in practical it might not be entirely accurate to rely on the plan. It all comes down to taking chances because low ranked altcoins might never find their way to the top, and money put in it might sink with it. So simply put, it'll come down to gambling your fund, because you never know for sure the ones that'll give you the desired multiple profits. Cryptocurrency business is where despite your best predictions, in the end it's the market that determines the outcome of profit and lose. Although some scam projects are designed to fail from the beginning.

If you're however talking about investing in top altcoins that are experiencing severe dip in price, then you can invest in them with certain assurance that they can pump and come back to relevance, like the recent case of Solana.
1763  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA LIFT THE BAN ON CRYPTOCURRENCY IN NIGERIA on: December 24, 2023, 04:08:01 PM
This is a great news for the Nigerian community, the ban has really hampered the growth of cryptocurrency in the country. Crypto enthusiasts can now interact with cryptocurrencies without the fear of the authorities breathing down their necks. Few hours following the lifting of the ban, there's another news making the rounds that some of the leading banks in the country are collaborating to launch a novel stablecoin cNGN that will be pegged against the Nigerian naira.


This lifting of ban is a welcomed development in the Nigerian crypto space, because it will pave the way for a wider adoption of Bitcoin in the country, because before now there had been mixed feelings about cryptocurrency in the country. People mistook the central bank (CBN) ban on banks not to facilitate cryptocurrency transactions to mean that Nigeria, has placed total ban on cryptocurrency usage, this misconception really affected the adoption in the country, because many Nigerians, saw Bitcoin as illegal in the country, and won't have anything to do with it.

The government through it's CBN lifting of the ban on banks to facilitate cryptocurrency transactions will now set the record straight that Bitcoin is not a scam, that it's a legitimate business that people can invest in and use as an alternative means of payments in the country.
1764  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you rather start/grow a business from scratch or buy an existing business? on: December 24, 2023, 03:17:57 PM
Starting a new business is good because it's your passion and the joy of watching it grow is something that is worth experiencing. You'll take a business that you started very personal because you wouldn't want your efforts to be in vain, thereby nurturing it like your baby and will do all it takes to make it work.

Despite the advantages and passion of starting a business from the scratch, if I have the means, I'll rather buy and existing business that is doing great in the market, because what it needs is a good or better management to continue giving unique outputs. If it's an industry that you're very familiar with or you can hire a professional team to head the business all the better and less stressful. Why nurture a business from the start, where you can buy it when it has grown, saves you time and stress of grooming it, what is important is if you can be able to sustain or surpass the growth of the business.
1765  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Owners of betting companies bet? on: December 24, 2023, 12:07:53 PM
We won't know whether the betting company owners are placing bets or whether they are just collecting the money. Even if they place a bet, they won't tell anyone, even their employees. They will probably use another account so that no one knows they placed a bet. They can also place bets at other betting companies if they wish. And again, we won't know what the reason is, and they certainly won't want to say it. But I think it might be better to take the profits rather than have them place bets. After all, it's a bet. They definitely have a chance of winning and losing unless they know the final result Grin

It might be in the ethics of gambling that the owners and workers don't gamble, I wouldn't know the reason why, but I'm guessing that they know the implications of being addicted in gambling, perhaps they'd rather have their customers do the gamble and be addicted while they can be more focused on collecting the money. I have a friend that worked in a sports bet company, he told me that as workers that they're not permitted to bet, I asked him why and he replied that it's the instruction that they're given. He also told me that if they want to bet, that they do so through a second party, so I concluded that bet and casino companies knows that loses are greater than winnings and they don't want themselves or their employees to be distracted, in the case of loses that'll affect their work.

OP, seems like you have not seen that this topic has been created and addressed even in Bitcoin Discussion it has also been discussed.
I understand our excitement towards the ban being lifted, everyone is happy and celebrating together. Next time you can do well to check if your topic to be discussed has already been addressed here.



Some members don start similar topics but this one de slightly different, OP de talk about di benefits of lifting di ban, so similarities de but dem de different.

One big benefit wey I see for di ban lifted na say e go help remove di stigma and all di negative perceptions wey Nigerians get about Bitcoin, plenty people think say na scam, dat na why government ban am. Hopefully di adoption of Bitcoin go increase as dis ban don comot, and we no go see any harassments again from government officials.
1767  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How diverse is your crypto portfolio? on: December 24, 2023, 08:23:21 AM
It's good to diversify in cryptocurrency, because there are many options to choose from, only you'd have to do your investigations about any coin that you intend to put your hard earned money into. Despite the many cryptocurrencies in the crypto market, I have very limited options to choose from, the number one is their undeniable king, Bitcoin, then top altcoins like Ethereum, never new projects, despite their huge promises of ROI on a short term. Maybe I'll diversify into new projects one day, but I'd have to tell myself the truth that I'm gambling my money.
1768  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Neural implants on: December 24, 2023, 08:01:11 AM
I agree but if everyone started using the implants don't you think people who don't necessarily want to use them would be forced to get them to be able to keep up with the next evolution of humans

I guess there will always be some kind of pressure to follow the herd & conform to what others do. I won’t be using them, certainly not until a significant time has passed & I can pass judgement on how sate they are.

If you asked me, I would personally not use it, it would feel too crept out because  of the possible control a private company or government could have over my thoughts. If the future gets too authoritarian it could even be used as an device to imprison people for the sole fact of thinking something which they were not supposed to. No thank you, I am already crept out over how smart-phones currently function and gather information about us, I do not need more of it.

I'm certainly with you on this, I will not like to complicate myself with a technology that we don't know what it's implications will be in the future, hopefully I grow old in sound health, I'll not be needing to experiment my mind with something that an external control can use manipulate me. Neural implants can be useful for people who have serious and life threatening medical conditions, where their only chance of survival is having an implant, it think that it should only be used for such cases.

I sympathize with OP that said that he sometimes experience memory lose, I hope it doesn't degenerate to the level of needing neural implant, but if that's what it'll to retain your memory, then there's no choice but to go for it. Although I'll advise him to carry out a thorough research before considering it as an option, because I just don't have a good feeling about it.
1769  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: A piece of advise to everyone. on: December 24, 2023, 07:10:54 AM
This is a discussion forum and I think that meaningful arguments can help to make us to see points from different perspectives, if we feel like somebody's points are misleading and we come out to correct the person, perhaps the person can present argument in a civil manner to prove their point. What really matters is matured argument where in the end a win win situation will be reached, and everybody in the thread will gain more knowledgeable from two perspectives. If maturity in the use of language is applied, then the argument is based on two different ways of seeing an issue, in the end we can apply one of the perspectives as an alternative option. But if an argument is baseless where a member is bent on having the upper hand in an argument, then it's best to simply ignore such comments and move on, we shouldn't let negative people's remarks to weigh us down.
1770  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: CBN lifts ban on cryptocurrency transactions on: December 24, 2023, 06:23:12 AM
Already despite the ban on cryptocurrency in the country, the government is still aware that their are individuals that are still involved in crypto related transactions so I just feel that this ban they've lifted is just so that they can also have their own share from the dividends that crypto enthusiasts within the country gets from crypto projects and other crypto engagements so inasmuch as it is a good news that the ban has been officially lifted I also see it as an avenue for the government to officially intrude into the system so "nothing goes for nothing".

You hit the nail for the head, as you talk am na so me I reason am, our government know say di cryptocurrency transactions wey de happen for di county de on di high side, and as CBN ban banks to de facilitate transactions, na im be say dem give chance for huge financial transactions to de happen without collecting dem own share.  Now wey CBN don lift di ban, na regulation go follow, dem go come introduce taxation for crypto matters now. So di ban wey dem lift na for dem own  benefits, because na now dem open eyes see say Bitcoin, na real source of income generation for dem purse.

Na very good news be dis because e go change di perceptions of many Nigerians wey think say Bitcoin de illegal for di country, and e go reduce or hopefully stop di harassment of law enforcement personals wey de harrass young guys wey say dem de trade Bitcoin. People go come understand say Bitcoin business no be scam, na genuine business e be.
1771  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Solana Leapfrogs XRP as Fifth-Largest Crypto on: December 24, 2023, 05:28:11 AM

According to some news I read on Solana website it states one of the reasons for pump is as a result of Shopify adding SOL as a payment method in there cryptocurrencies acceptances. This has brought alot of increase on SOL transactions, it's a very big moment for its investors and the trading volume might hit 40% soon.

I congratulate investors that kept their faith in Solana, and those that had the crystal ball to see that Solana, will bounce back by putting their money in it at a time when it was presumed that it was dying. This should be a lesson for investors to take advantage of buying any top altcoin that is in bear run or presumed to be worthless, because  probability is that it can make a surprise comeback to regain lost glory and being very profitable again, like in the case of Solana.

Team innovations is another thing that can revive a coin that has dipped to rock bottom, example is the Solana, deal with Shopify, that added them as a crypto payment, I hear this is one of the big drivers to their comeback. I hope they keep coming up with milestone ideas to remain in the top altcoins division.

Who else invested in Dascoin which some scammers promoted as the next Bitcoin Grin Grin Grin . I was stupid to accept their lies those days. I am new to Crypto I had no idea

Your story is no different from the ones of many forum members who have fallen for these scam projects that promises to give you 100× ROI, but they never live up to their promises. I'm glad that you've learned your lesson to beware of new projects that have not been tested in the cryptocurrency market, I was shocked when I learned about the number of shitcoins that are created everyday, it's a free market, so you'll except the good and the bad to be coming up with their own coins. I always advice to stick to Bitcoin and top altcoins, no matter how the market trends, they'll always remain relevant and profitable. Investing in new altcoins is a gamble, what you see is what you get, most times it's loses than profits.

1774  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is there so much interest in popular cryptocurrencies? on: December 23, 2023, 08:45:55 PM
Major reasons why the bigger established coins like Bitcoin have dominated and become a major propeller of the market is because they have already built a lot of market repetition reputations and also gained a lot of investor trust to become the long-term assets which have made it markets to be high value to very high and less volatile which make it becoming a long term asset.

On like the smaller projects that have no track record and are based on hypes this can be best taken for shirt terms speculations alone since most times their market depends solely on the market of the other bigger coins,  and that is the reason why sometimes you see that whenever there is Bitcoin bull market other smaller coins also follow the trend.

Established crypto coins guarantees peace of mind, where the investors are not worried whether the coins will see another light of day, because they're sure that no matter how the market trends, whether price pump or dump that they're money remains safe. A cryptocurrency like Bitcoin follows a pertern that's quite predictable, bear run is a time to sow and bull run is a time to reap, if an investor can predict this circle and wait for the right season they'll harvest bountifully. Bitcoin and top altcoins like Ethereum, will surely give their investors profitable ROI.

This can not be said about new projects, they all come with hypes, giving promises of bountiful harvest, but in the end many of them comes short of these promises, so buying them is gambling your funds, and be ready to accept whatever outcome that they bring. There are credible ones, but in the midst of shitcoins, it is not to easy to know a genuine altcoins.

Mind you, your friends did tell you the real deal because there are lot of things that can fetch someone money in web3 so the exact one your friends are doing is what we here don't know about.

Thanks for dropping this link, I hope it'll be helpful to me too, I'm yet to explore the potentials that is in web3, hopefully it interests me and I can also profit from it. I'm hearing that that you'd have to get in early for it to be profitable to you, anyways no need to ask more questions about it here, since I'm going to look it up, hopefully I'll get a headstart from there.
1776  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Angry at the high fees? That's what everyone predicted the future will be like! on: December 23, 2023, 05:01:00 PM
At this point it is becoming confusing. I read somewhere that the high fees is as a result of Ordinal or NFTs on the Bitcoin network. According to the said comment, the Ordinals is a new trend that is massively being traded, hence the congestion of the Bitcoin network.

Exactly!

So it becomes confusing knowing what to believe to be the cause of the high fees and if there is any other way around it with respect to the future because fees like this is a kind of discouraging!

Miners will need to get paid for securing the network, this is a must, you can't pay all those miners 2 cents fee unless you want only the same level of security as Ethereum classic, so the whole thing is pretty simple, nobody will force you to do a thing but
- if in the future we will pay 1 cent per tx we would have one cent worth of bodyguard
- if in the future we want to have the same level of security as now, we have to pay twice the fees we're paying in the last few blocks!


This will be so much for Bitcoin being the top currency of the future where it's adoption will make everyone to look to cryptocurrency as the desirable means of transaction payments. Going by your analysis that means that we should not expect any redemption about Bitcoin high transaction fees coming down in the future, especially when the mempool is congested, in that case it'll still remain in the category of "an alternative means of payments", when it comes to using it to make payments for goods and services, because who'll bear the high transaction fees, seller or buyer? Fiat currencies will still be preferable, because it's cheaper and faster. Bitcoin will still maintain what is still keeping it going till today, a valuable digital asset to hold as an investment and for trading purposes, not as it's original purpose of p2p transaction payment currency, the high fees will be a clog in wheels of it's adoption.

I see that anyone who bring up some good idea not trusted instantly....but only way is unite together many people don't have income anymore and no money.
So who from us Will create us new currency? And we All use this currency and get some airdrop ?
WTH... (sorry for lingu) you are talking about, I thought you were going to talk about current financial issues and problems that middle-class people are facing due to the rich-class people. Or might be talking about something related to economic because your title looks very relevant but if compared with your post's last 2 lines, it does not match with it.

I mean, we should do business together and make some money and what? launch our own coin and could manipulate it for our own purposes like to make money by pumping and dumping it. Is that what you are suggesting here or I am getting all wrong?

And those who come up with good ideas are suppressed because those good ideas are eating a good business of a rich person that's why such good ideas are always ends.

The subject of this thread suggests a topic that bothers on world economy that is hit with disaster and how we can come together to salvage it, or maybe the oppression of a perticular class of people. But I'm surprised as you are that the content is about launching a cryptocurrency, he should know that this is an anonymous forum where we come to discuss cryptocurrency and other relevant matters as it affects us and the economy around us. As far as I know any businesses between members in this forum that is at their own risks, and you can't hold the forum responsible for any disagreements or scams. It's better he assembles a team if he wants to start a project.
1778  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: December 23, 2023, 02:25:44 PM
Controlling gambling addiction can be easier said than done, someone can tell you to just try another hubby, even if you do, you might find yourself coming back to Gambling again. I believe that it takes very high discipline and patience to actually leave an addiction, not something that you can easily replace with another activity and expect the addiction to disappear. The gambler can gradually reduce the time spent on gambling, by engaging in other activities, then gradually there'll be a balance between gambling and the other activities, before he knows it, the time spent in gambling will reduce. If a gambler reaches a stage where he has discipline and can control his gambling emotions, then it'll not be considered
as addiction.

Know that trading can be the start of losses. Trade with the amount of money that you can afford to lose.

What coins are you talking about?

On coingecko, click on the coins and click on 'market' which will list the exchanges that the coin is traded. You can also do that on Coinmarketcap.

Coingecko, is a very good place to search for exchanges to trade, you'll see the options, carry out your research and choose, depending on the ones that operates in your country.

It's true that just accumulating and holding Bitcoin or altcoins as an investment for years can be boring, although it's believed to be the safest method of making profit in cryptocurrency. So if someone wants to feel the action and make money on the short term, then it's trading, although you have to be equipped with essential knowledge of trading. So it's true to start with the amount that you can afford to loose, so you can minimize loses, because crypto trading is not an easy business, you'll have to understand it's fundamental and technical analysis, even that is not enough to guarantee profits.
