The only problem with coins with a value of almost zero is that they could either slip into the shitcoin zone or they will move to be a valuable token and honestly with altcoins investments into coins without a strong foundation it's all gambling at the end of it!!

But seeing the success from your friend,  I guess luck is on his side with these altcoins and  let him continue with them and maybe that 3 bitcoins can double.

Btw that no limits when it comes to investments is a double edged sword which could either reward you handsomely or throwing funds in the drain.

I found some interesting pointers that are in the OP that I think kind of get mixed up or never get differentiated between trading and investing especially when it comes to beginners🤔

• Analyzing the Market
• Managing Risk
• Consider Bitcoin Volatility
• Find a Mentor or Consultant

By no means am I saying we can't use trading strategies to your investing techniques  ,but as a beginner  don't you think a simple buy your bircoins and forget about them should be the best approach without having to shower the new guys on the block with all this information needed to get them started...honestly if this is what I was told to do before investing in crypto, I would run and never look back!!

If Bitcoin is to look attractive to beginners I think let's start with baby steps, like best security to consider, how to know if a platform is legit, know how to send and receive your bitcoins and apply the right fees without sending all your coins to the miner's because the BTC number looks tiny when in reality you have sent a couple of thousands of BTC...

Buying or selling of merit hasn't  really been put out there on whether it's allowed or not ,but by forum etiquette it isn't as it may promote account farmers, ban invasions and possibly bring more spam!

Besides merit was introduced to bar spammers from ranking up as spam was mostly generated from signature campaigns and bounty campaigns that paid more based on rank but with its introduction this has gone down.

Btw merit alone isn't enough if motive is to get into  signatures as it requires a certain quality of posts to be made for one to be enrolled in most signatures around here! Remember it's quality over quantity!!

I gave up on airdrops ever since the altcoin bubble burst , and we moved from ICOs to IEOs...of course IEOs are better but the higher risk ICOs offered lucrative tokens and airdrops were generous too.

Not forgetting the fact that too many people out there know how to mint their own coins means we have too many shitcoins on the market that have given airdrops and altcoins a bad reputation because of selfish devs trying to get rich quick!
But of course we still have good airdrops out there just a matter of knowing good platforms to get them..

A familiar name of the forum, welcome aboard @Trofo

I thought banning of peer 2 peer exchanges is more difficult to do than a centralized exchange as traders could have moved their services to more personalized platforms like whatsapp for businesses or say a telegram channel which can still be used to facilitate these exchanges...tbh their efforts are appreciated in combating cyber crime but crypto is to big of a revolution to be stopped by a ban.

Btw I think this is a mammoth task the Belarus authorities have embarked on, besides are these guys saying cybercrime will instantly drop once these channels are closed ?? I don't think so as people will always find alternative ways to exchange and what not.

If this is how marriages are being disbanded then this is some sad reading, what happened to communication If you ask, this lady has been looking for a way out and she found his gambling habit to be the perfect ticket out of this marriage!!

The, why not ask the better half why his gambling,  is if for fun and has nothing to do or his in it for the profit ??

This is what happens when you go witch hunting,  you will always find what you looking for..great detective work wify:)

Good thing he choose the wife to save his marriage,
but Bad habits die hard, nevertheless we all need to start from somewhere to get something resolved, goOdluck Mr Man.

Threats don't seat well with anybody and unfortunately I haven't being in such a situation.

I like the message!

There is so much unnecessary pressure that we put on the little ones without considering what they really want! Though some will appreciate the push to get the interest into crypto with the help of a guardian or parent!
But ideally trying to push the crypto message on the little ones is meant to help them prepare for the future as the digital age is here.

Just because bitcoin exists online doesn't mean it's immune from what happens out there in the world like the  Economic Depression!
And since this affects the fiat system for example...as banks and what not get closed down, people revert to old methods such as the barter system to trade for goods and services, but I think bitcoin could become a valuable asset to use as a medium of exchange like what was used several years ago as gold or silver.

Overall bitcoin could pump like crazy should this happen in this Era as people will panic buy to protect their worth.

But bitcoin is not a luxury if that's the impression it has, it can actually be used as any other currency out there and it being decentralized could be a good thing against  such phenomenon as economic depression.

I believe the standard age to gamble is a minimum of 18 years as this means the company isn't dealing with minors and they are considered fit to make informed decisions and seeing these states have gone an extra step of bumping the minimum age means they want responsible people to play on these casino's!

As for online casinos following this minimum age, I suppose it's a yes and no answer because were  KYC isn't mandatory I suppose minors find their way here to test their luck, and were KYC is almost mandatory this is a no go area for children.

Honestly I don't think so, but morally upright gambling platforms need to stop such clients from having further access.

If you know were to find them yes legal action can be taken.

Let's wait for Sinbad to announce the winners to avoid any oversights,  but if these are the nearest to $30,770.53 then :

1st- NeuroticFish

3rd- hosseinimr93
*based on nearest to price.

Btw Sarah Azhari did you go through all posts of the thread and did the potential winners meet all requirements to be declared winners ??

Indeed it is!

And the fact that this place was and is still among the few reliable places to get first hand information of crypto related stuff...it will always be the school to rely on!

And the best part about this forum, it accommodates all classes regardless of when you enroll into the BCT school and there is always someone to help

Interesting thread, suppose updating image links can revive the thread by using the old links to open image which is there , then download images and upload to other server like talkimg.com

When you go to school , University or whatever  it is, this is what they say because they are going by the book but in reality you need to go off script sometimes!

But let's face it, the reason most of us aren't crypto millionaires today.. is because we want the knowledge for us to be convinced to invest,but fortunately the early hodlers were probably told of the potential that lived within bitcoin and the put down a couple of dollars on them without thinking twice and didn't need the knowledge...and that leap of faith today made them millionaires. I suppose the 10,000 bitcoin pizza could relate to this of not having the knowledge,  but all in all sometimes it's all about the gut feeling and taking the risk.

Let's all agree on one thing, if you had $100 dollars to gamble with and by the end of the day you manage to flip it to over a thousand dollars...do you think any one will feel remorseful, I don't think so!

But on the other hand, if you had a 1000 dollars in your gaming account,  and blew it to zero..here anybody would feel they would have done better things with the money than gamble...but again like they say, only game with money you can afford to lose and you won't feel the remorse!!

A few weeks or is it months back during elections, we we reading and seeing all sorts of video clips of unrest because Nigerians were unable to withdraw money from their banks as the banking system was crippled,  but now that the have an alternative I really don't understand why they would still chose to suppress a solution that has come right on their door step...

What are they afraid of?? Loss of revenue of through taxes   well this is a possibility lol, loss of control...

Maybe we are jumping the gun, and this might  have changed for the better??

However you want to look at this , this is another signal for anybody doubting if bitcoin is real, its very real !

And just so you know, no business will invest millions of dollars without having a foresight of reaping profits out of its business..btw this is bullish bullish news, I like it 👌!!!

I wonder why they are bumping up their .mining power, any possibility of a new player coming on board in the mining space or its business as usual

If the comment remains on topic with what is being discussed..I think there is leeway for it to stand!
Besides some local board's such as the Nigerian one have the language so similar to English and if the topic is that sensitive or engaging and you want to make your contribution this could be allowed but subject to Local board rules

---

Out of curiosity what happens to posts made on the English board using a local language??

This question has been countless times and it's okay to ask anyway and to get clarity and I will ask you look at it this way....you know how we have the internet...in some parts of the world do not have it but should the internet not reach such people because they have been left behind NO! People might have got on early with crypto but you can still get on board and use it for different reasons, be it investments, be it a form of money or whatever it is you want from It.


Slow but steady wins the race, don't rush.

I would suggest you start with YouTube as we have several interesting channels that help simplify this and BTW don't worry too much about the experience, we all started from there
