181  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 21, 2024, 09:41:55 PM
Arsenal took the lead from City with a win against Wolverhampton. Arsenal, who were deprived of an important win after their home game last week, suffered a big blow in the championship race.
And not only did Arsenal took the lead from Man-City, but Man-City is currently standing 3rd on the league table after Liverpool won their game against Fulham today, working away with the full 3 points, hence placing both Arsenal and Liverpool on the exact same point (i.e 74points) while Man-City having 73 pts, a difference of one. And as such, if Man-City really wants to win the league this season, this is the time for them not to take chances but strive to win in all it's forthcoming matches to be played against Brighton, Nottingham and Wolves on 25th, 28th April and 4th May respectively. But though it's gonna seams tough, with a good coach like Pep Guardiola, anything is possible.
Looking at the tittle race I'm sure every team is prepared to face their opponent mostly Manchester city, Liverpool and Arsenal as they can't stand any chance loosing to their opponent cause any slight mistake from this level I can predict the title winner but let's hope Arsenal and Manchester city get to defeat their opponent mostly Arsenal cause the match ahead of Arsenal looks tough but Arsenal played with their A game battling with wolves. Manchester city still have higher hope winning the title likewise Arsenal

Regardless of little kids who make use of the internet and they likely come across different gambling advertisement and site sometimes influencers even go ahead teaching the public how to place a bet. At this point I can't blame influencers neither the site, this is just for the money and it's left for parents to take good care of the child for example setting a restriction and TV guard or phone guard. This act whereby influencers advertise gambling sites is called marketing and creating awareness about the site, an influencer will never think twice before accepting the contract and this is just common among influencers. Not just gambling sites but scam projects like altcoins promoted by influencers, this is not a new act but definitely little children can easily adopt this mindset and practice the act without knowing the negative effect at an early age
183  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where would you prefer to watch your favorite team? on: April 21, 2024, 08:49:36 PM
No doubt, the fun, shout and vibes is at the viewing center but I don't know if this is just my opinion or for every one, I find it difficult to concentrate when watching match with group of crowd mostly when my favourite team is playing. The shout and argument is just a distraction from focusing, sometimes I end up laughing with the crowd forgetting I'm watching a serious match. People who usually generate the noise and shout just want the environment to be lively but I'm not a fan of such. I prefer watching my match quietly and alone except I'm expecting a visitor or family friend or else I dislike watch football match with group of people.

This act is just common among most people, people who still don't know how to gamble can get into an argument when playing a game and they can decide to involve money, from my point this is just a way of proving your seriousness or your strength by involving money nothing else, anything that has to do with money mostly when playing a game you'll definitely feel the seriousness. Little kids can also behave in such manner when arguing with a friend but not involving money rather toy, I observed this act several times but I think the person in question is a gambler cause during fun games like this what's the need arguing to such extend.
185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you achieved anything from gambling on: April 21, 2024, 06:23:55 PM
Your colleagues should work on themselves and the habit of spend unwisely after winning, you don't necessary need to achieve something big with your gambling money cause the word big is like an asset or something huge. Definitely not every will have the privilege to win huge amount but after winning the little amount what do you think first like your colleagues for example will go for drinking. I had this experience during my school days and surprising I needed money to buy my textbooks and luckily I won my bet, I used the money for my textbooks and I got satisfied. Achievement or not, gamblers should learn to use their money wisely after winning,
186  Economy / Economics / Re: Your aging and retirement plan is your responsibility. on: April 21, 2024, 02:25:31 PM
I came from a society where majorities are not bothered about their retirement plans, Some do have the financial resources but due because of financial revenue opportunities, they feels so reluctant and comfortable without considering that depending on the government opportunities could get to an end somedays. I don't know if they ever have the picture imaginarily about how their old ages times would be.

While I've come way too far thinking about this as I also goes around the towns and sees old people aging so helplessly as they're vulnerable, I fear not to be in such situations so then, I'm striving on making positive differences.
I've decided to have a diverse of my bitcoin investment for my retirement purpose.
At some points in life, you don't expect to be thought lessions before you could learn but you can learn from others experiences.
Every citizen will feel the impact of their country economy, good or poor but definitely not every will have to face same challenges. At an old age when there's no strength and power to work I think this is where the problem lies, aside bitcoin investment we have a lot of promising investment, spending lavishly without thinking of owning an asset is wrong. Most of the old people you see today lack money just because they failed to think and spend wisely, Although bitcoin investment is a top choice but they're other investment choice anyone can voluntary choose. Every point is directed to investing at young age but sometimes the choice of investment can ruin everything like know the worth of an investment before investing
187  Economy / Economics / Re: It's better to invest now than to regret it in a hospital bed. on: April 21, 2024, 11:51:52 AM
Health and wealth have similar meaning and sometimes complex to understand cause most people think being rich can settle every health problem, also difficult to understand like the saying health is wealth. Investment cannot necessary determine your health condition in the future cause sometimes you'll have to settle the basis before thinking of investment. Health issues can hinder an investor from investing, I've seen situations when wealth can't necessary save someone from a health challenge except op is referring to investing now when it's not too late, invest now when it's not late should be channeled with bitcoin price not health issue. From now till the next 7 or 10 years what will be the price and the growth, I don't know cause no one can predict concerning the future but an investor can invest with full assurance. It's obvious people who planned their invest several years ago they're benefiting, I think the major point when it comes to bitcoin investment is sacrifice, if investing for future use investors should learn to put their health first before investing like knowing the needful first so it can enable an investor invest without withdrawing their bitcoin. Remember when investing for future use we're talking about the long term plan and most people lack the resource for long term plan but for those investor who still use the dca strategy should make good planning
188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No gambling today due to bitcoin high transaction fee. on: April 20, 2024, 10:45:34 PM
Fees have dropped to around $15 now, maybe in the next few hours it will be at $5 ish.
Or maybe it will rise if the runes protocol spamming the network again (damn you casey).
Its better to withdraw the BTC balance at the casino when the fees back or near to normal and replace it with another coin temporarily.
Using the alternative is ideal, since the fees are really high and if you are a small time gambler, this is not worth it to gamble. This is why there’s a lot of gamblers who prefer to gamble with the stablecoins or with the altcoins as the fees are low and they can transact it faster. BTC option can be good to big time players as they can afford that fees.
Options like this will definitely come mostly for those gamblers who are eager to play by all means, alternative like altcoins or stablecoin is good at this point but a gambler can always decide to wait since they're not holding altcoin. Things like the high fees and other factors are bound to happen mostly in situations like this but I don't know why the fee will be so high so this extend. Any gambler who is ready to risk it at this time should think twice as the fee is high but personally taking break during times like this is more preferable than finding another alternative cause sometimes alternative do fail
189  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin no be for everybody inside Nigeria on: April 20, 2024, 09:45:37 PM
When we talk about Bitcoin and it's adoption for the Nigerian space, we go understand say many people wey dey even here about Bitcoin sef na true the wrongs ways like some of my friends for which day just dey blah about cryptocurrency trading and how people dey make am especially when you trade Bitcoin, all these nonsense na watin him dey vomit without even understanding or knowing what is involved in Bitcoin trading or the cryptocurrency market as a whole base on the aspect of its volatility.
Nigeria na one of these African countries wey de like involved themselves with promising projects and the citizens embraced them. Bitcoin is affected by volatility, make everybody just rest because e no easy for anybody here. Everybody know how bitcoin dey operates for the system, make we just de stay lowkey and observe the necessary movement of the project. I know bitcoin have turned out to be very compulsory and important for those top investors in the market, most of them already know how to trigger good entries and follow up this project.
The solution here is get a basic knowledge about your investment choice, just because Mr A said bitcoin is promising and good I'll just jump in investing and then I except a quick profit just because of what I heard. It's obvious when discussing with a friend you'll definitely share an opinion concerning financial matters etc but mere sharing of bitcoin investment idea without knowing how the investment work cannot help,the starting point can easily fall without reaching the target. Expectations is something that will not work 100% with bitcoin cause no one can actually predict rightly, looking at the high transaction fee I believe no one saw that coming but definitely no one can question bitcoin. Bitcoin no be by force and if you trust bitcoin then invest despite any situation, leave wetin person talk about bitcoin cause if na to convince you no go fit. Bitcoin is working for you as an investment choice so why con dey bother for wetin person talk.
190  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why most of Exchanges FAIL ? on: April 20, 2024, 09:17:12 PM
This is just normal and I'm not surprised, it's left for you to make wise choice when dealing with digital assets. Wise choice like knowing the right wallet to save a coin, aside exchange failing over and over, keeping money in an exchange is wrong and it can easily attract scammers so from my thought an exchange is not a trusted place to store  coins. Exchange which crash are mostly referred to as a scam and developers of such exchange are scammers as they build an exchange with different motives and they work accord to such aim. It's always advisable to go for trusted exchange even if scammers will come or not don't store coins on an exchange, I read similar topic in my LB and from my opinion storing coins in an exchange is just similar to saving money in an open space where everyone can see, secondly using KYC wallet  to store your coin is wrong cause it's no longer an annoymous act.

I guess you wanted the quick profit using the dca strategy to accumulate bitcoin. If no, I don't get why you'll speak such about dca strategy and sincerely speaking dca strategy is so common and favourable for investors who choose to invest in bitcoin, you don't necessary need to start with a wrong impression or else you'll paint every accumulation strategy as same. Dca strategy is used to accumulate monthly or weekly with any amount of your choice so long as you have the basic knowledge about bitcoin and dca. You have to bear some certain things knowing the kind of investment choice (bitcoin) with a volatile nature, planning is always needed alongside with your investment although I don't know what's triggering this thought but dca is one of the best and popular strategy for accumulating bitcoin
192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: April 19, 2024, 09:28:43 PM
This question is valid and common, anyone will definitely have a different reason hiding their gamble life from the public. Although the way most people view gambling is wrong cause the moment you say you're a gambler people look different and some might mistake you as an addict but this is wrong. I'm speaking from my experience or else I find no other reason or such gambler want to hide gambling cause of their kids or wife noticing, aside from what people will say and view I find nothing wrong that's why I prefer the online casino that involve your money and game only
193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is the game 'Fortune Tiger' or the little tiger game famous in your region? on: April 19, 2024, 09:02:19 PM
I'm trying to understand something, the influencers promoting different platforms and people who move to same different platform will have to start all over again? If yes then this is just a perfect example of when influencers benefit more compared to other games. Why will people choose to play such game or the profit involved is huge cause I don't get why influencers creat different platforms, just imagine creating a different platform during your winning point, I don't support this but I'm curious to know if anyone has ever won playing the game
194  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin’s bull run coming to an end? on: April 19, 2024, 08:02:50 PM
The price fell by 3.78% today,Current price $61748.But it’s still a price I can’t afford
According to record this has been from start when the price fluctuate during this season, price decreasing doesn't necessary mean bitcoin bull run has ended like your topic implies "bull run coming to an end" although being curious shows you're fighting for an secured investment, I guess you've read replies from forum members and from my thought you can buy bitcoin at anytime, buying now is not late as there's no late entry but the truth is people who bought bitcoin during the dip will definitely make profit compared to an early investor, if you're planning to buy now I think you should avoid the aggressive mindset cause no matter the amount of aggressiveness you put in your investment that can give a complete profit compared to investors who held their bitcoin from 2_4 years or beyond except you're super rich. Take your time and accumulate for the long term plan expect you need the profit so quick, secondly you can start accumulating with little amount so you don't necessary need to own much before you investment but your accumulation amount will determine your profit
195  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodling or selling? on: April 19, 2024, 03:02:33 PM
Experienced investors who know the system can hold for years but I can't say same about newly investors, excitement with bitcoin price increasing is another factor that can cut the long term plan short, from my view taking out profit is not so simply mostly when an investor has not reached his/her target considering when to buy back or waiting for the dip can get tiring. patience can guide an investor mostly when dealing with a long term investment like bitcoin.

Many people cannot afford to buy more bitcoins at once so they can buy as many bitcoins as they want. Even by buying small fractions of Bitcoin they will be able to convert it into large fractions someday. Yes one thing is true that more amount of Bitcoin you invest more amount of profit you get from that investment. As per your point I am saying for example if someone invests $100 then if bitcoin price pumps 10% from there he will get a bit more profit than if he invests $50.
People who buy weekly or monthly don't necessary accumulate with little amount, dca allows an investor to accumulate with huge amount also if only an investor can meetup with such amount. An investor accumulation method might be different from others strategy but the ability to hold for long term is important. If buying with little fraction definitely the profit will not be massive but it's always advisable to invest with what you have.
196  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell? on: April 18, 2024, 10:21:47 PM
Ive been hearing about situations where someone buys a coin for a certain rate and not quite long after,  the said coin drops in value, or  someone sells his coin for a certain rate and then it appreciates just after.
What's your take on this? Given the period we're in is it buy time or sell time?
When you enter the market, you must look at the market position and understand that if you are not experienced in this, you will never be able to sell and make more profit. Of course, you should buy when there is volatility in the market and if you buy and hold it will definitely put you in a profit position. You buy from a position where you will not face a loss if you buy, but you will see the possibility of profit in the future. If you enter the market and are not knowledgeable about the market, then you will survive the number of bones compared to the profit, so you need to know about the volatility of the market first. Many times, if you buy when the market goes down a lot and sell when it goes back up, you can definitely make a profit. That's why you should buy and hold when the market starts to fluctuate, sell when the market enters highs, and you will only profit if you continue to do so, and you will be successful.

Maybe better to suggest to buy and to hold and to just figure out a budget in which you can continue to buy BTC for 4-10 years or longer, and then reassess your situation once you start to accumulate a high enough quantity of BTC that you might start to feel that you are able to sell some or to live off of it or to supplement your income with it. 

Much better to have a longer term BTC accumulation plan that involved mostly buying and holding rather than buying and selling, which truly runs risks of selling too much too soon and then becoming disgruntled due to an inability to recognize an appreciate the power of bitcoin as an asymmetric bet to the upside.

Sincerely speaking I've come to agree with the fact that it's better to focus on just buying bitcoin as an early investor than engaging in any tricky practice that involves selling to buy bitcoin again.

What those that engage in such practice fail to understand is that they are at that point not engaging in long term investment but short term investment, which is the same as trading or gambling and they fail to realise that their major focus should be to accumulate more bitcoin and not selling.

The truth is that anyone that thinks of selling as a means to buy more bitcoin is not investing with money that he can afford to lose, if else why should he be bothered about little profits than focusing on the big goal of having a good stash and compounding value on his investment.
Buy and sell for quick profit is not right, what do they expect buy and sell and such investor still except to see the previous price or rather they feel bitcoin price will wait for them. The simple fact after selling bitcoin for quick profit it's likely they might not accumulate bitcoin with such amount under probability, buying and selling mostly for newly investors who have not gotten the basic knowledge might distract their thought and learning process, instead of them to view bitcoin as a long term investment they view bitcoin investment as a short term profit. Buy and sell is just two different things with different strategy, taking out profit can be done by an advance investor with a balanced portfolio but still requires strategy in order for the investment to stand firm

The restriction will definitely affect his well being, like wtf a lifetime ban for violating rules and not just common rules but real and standard rules, the act carried out by Jontay is cheating from my opinion, what was his impression aside the profit involve cause this is strange. Sometimes people should avoid making expensive mistake that can ruin their career or business within seconds.  Everything with an advantage must have a disavantage and consequences but he would have thought twice before making negative decisions just for gain. Lessons learnt and I'm sure people will learn from his mistakes as well
198  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin seems to be the safe heaven in this period of Naira value increase on: April 18, 2024, 08:43:21 PM
Honestly speaking I can't even make a choice cause it's obvious, I see no value in our currency (naira) let's forget about the current situation as we see Naira value right now. Holding bitcoin is more profitable to Nigerians for now cause no know can predict what will happen next. Bitcoin is an investment choice while naira right now has no volatile nature or rather why will an investor choose to hold fiat depreciating in value, bitcoin current price no suppose shake long term investors but definitely na the nature of bitcoin. Everything has a benefit attached, people who earn in dollars during that season never complained with others so this is definitely one of the disadvantage of holding Naira, people holding Naria now can boldly speak out but this is actually beneficiary with both parties, this is an oppournity to earn more and save more. Benefit in essence is we have every opportunity to take advantage regardless the situation but the only problem right now if Naira depreciate the economy will not be in favour of the citizens or else what's the disadvantage
199  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What people some people don't know about trading on: April 18, 2024, 07:22:17 PM
I have seen where people say trading is a quick to get money.

But I see it differently. Rather, trading is a place that shows those who work hard, put in consistency and are ready to learn and those who think they can outsmart their way in.

Those who earn massively in trading are those who have dedicated 1-2 years of their time to learning a particular skill to perfection.

So, how can you earn 50-1000k like them if you didn't put in the work?
If I should answer any question concerning quick money mindset and trade then I will agree with this mindset. Comparing trade and hold you'll definitely find out people earn quick with trade than hold, since this is not the point here, trading need a little time to learn the basics skills involved and not just learn but you sacrifice a lot of money during the process. Aside from lose, acquiring trading knowledge requires money, I know a lot of newly traders who spend money on weekly tutorials just to acquire trading knowledge. My advice for people with this mindset is nothing comes so easy, successful traders sacrificed a lot and I'm sure whenever they share stories about their trading experience they will never forget to mention the struggles involved. Definitely trading render benefit like the quick money profit compared to hold but the only discouragement here is the loss but I learnt a principal about earning; you can't earn without giving out so any experience I get right now is just a lesson and correction
200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever Projected how to spend gambling profits while the game has not played yet? on: April 18, 2024, 02:48:31 PM
This is actually funny and disappointing, why will anyone want to hope on something they've not seen or something difficult like gambling, there's a difference between mere joke and faith like I believe your friend had so much faith to some extend he had to promise for celebration, this is strange.
I believe most gamblers who sold out their properties for gambling had same faith as this, let's be realistic there's nothing like 100% accuracy or full confidence when placing a bet but people don't want to listen

No one can deny that they do not have this type of thoughts in their heads especially when they are damn sure of the game. When I have these sketchy plans of what to do with my gambling profits it is not buying something massive like as house, a car or business but to spend it on having a good time.
of course gamblers do have this thought but I can't express full confidence to such extend, gamblers really need to change this thought cause gambling can't be predicted fully so what will happen next if we never get to win the game we had high hopes on. Winning is fun and exciting especially gamble wins that come unexpected but it should not be taken for granted as we should maintain self control
