How will it be 100% for the entire report of 5059 posts while 5,000 as said to be good and 38 are marked as bad report?

Lol... But of course, they don't always have to agree with you since we all aren't homogeneous in our thoughts. However, if they agree with you more than they disagree with you it means you're doing something right and that should be the consolation. I'm far behind on this report thing. Nevertheless, I think I should pay more attention to it this year.

That revelation threw up deep reflection (for me) on what issues we pass through in real life but unannounced online. I give kudos to Yahoo on how efficient and effective he has continued to manage campaigns despite what he's going through.

Yes, you can say that again. It was a pleasant surprise for us Nigerians and it couldn't have come at a better time than it did. I'm sure a lot of peeps in our community will continue to remember that. Again, by that act , theymos displayed to the community that he has a listening ear. While to the Naija community, it shows what endurance and perseverance can do.

Happy New Year, colleagues and friends!

I wish every member of this campaign a fulfilled 2023. May whatever goals and aspirations that we desired in 2022 but which eluded us be easily met this 2023. Did I hear a resounding, Amen?

BestChange, I remain grateful to you and your entire team for an opportunity you afforded me being in this campaign. You've continued to remain an outstanding manager. I wish your company more ROI and exposure this 2023!

I wish

It's another fresh year! Felicitations mes amies 🤗, permit my passable French. It feels like it was just yesterday that I said happy new year to usher in 2022 but it's a full circle completed and now, here we're again in 2023. How time flies. It's another 365 days completed.

I wish everyone here, including myself, longevity and a prosperous 2023 in good health.

You're right. I share the same kindred spirit with you on this. For me the most active SM is telegram in relation to cryptos, that's if that counts for anything at all because we've a lot of scammers on it. I've a Reddit, Twitter and Discord accounts but I can't remember the last time I got on them. It doesn't even seem like I miss anything not frequenting them because I get enough tutorials here.

Now, I look back with nostalgia in respect to this thread question. I actually didn't buy the first Bitcoin (actually, sats) I got. It was something like a payment from user @lenny_ and that was barely four weeks I joined this forum. I didn't even know how to get out a wallet address and send 🤦. It was 0.001 BTC which was worth $1 at the time. I was genuinely overjoyed because of the first time experience. It was like winning a lottery for me. That same amount is worth over $16 today, despite the current falling market.

Don't cross your heart or make an oath on that. You never can tell how people react to the invention of things and that's why on the hindsight we tend to regret actions we didn't take. A few years (over a decade, anyway) I can recollect making a suggestion to a paper company I worked for to also have a hard copy version of what it ran online, owing to how Nigerians reacted to online stuff then towards newspapers. There was low patronage for stuff like that then. Now fast forward to date, we know how voracious Nigerians have become towards online news and gists. How many people buy hard copy newspapers this day in Nigeria? Most people now get their news and gists online, on soft copy.

You know what they say about Rome not being built in a day or that it's droplets of water that makes an ocean? That's the way it's. It's a gradual process. What matters is that the process has already begun.

Well, I don't think it's. However, even if it's what you think but you find it merit worthy, I don't think there's anything stopping anyone or even you from meriting the post though.

Nah, that's not necessary.

With time, they will come around it and may likely embrace the option more than fiat. The concept behind the workings of Bitcoin is one enough to fascinate anyone. However, my worry in all these payment with Bitcoin thing is how likely are those who aren't Bitcoin hodlers going to continue to get Bitcoin for the sole purposes of making just payment without using it for basic trading and other stuff. I say this because of the volatility of Bitcoin and how $50 could easily become $20 within hours.

You're still making the same mistake. Why are you tagging it to one Bitcoin. Why don't you just ask if they own Bitcoin (sats) without attaching it to quantity. The way I reason this is like bestowing wisdom on a man simply because he's wealthy. So, you get to judge and accept what people say now and think it's correct based on the fact that they own 1 Bitcoin or once owned it? Do we treat people based on what they have or on who they're?

No, I don't own one but I feel entitled to write on this. It's not even about having one "whole" Bitcoin that should be a focus for concern but the underlying interest in it. One could own one Bitcoin and sell off in panic tomorrow and decide not to back while there could be someone who owns bits but keeps DCA on it. Interest matters in all we do.

By the way, why is there any need to make owing one-Bitcoin a yardstick to those whose responses you seek? Are you discriminatory in real life?

No matter how lavishly well wey you entertain persin wey ride bicycle come visit you, if im dey go im must open yansh for you.
Meaning: The peculiarity of things must always reflect at the due time, in spite of how anyone wants to change it.

You ought to have set the pace by sharing with us how you got into Bitcoin first 🙄

Notwithstanding, let me share mine. Though I've shared this story before here, I feel nostalgic each time I share it. I stumbled on Bitcoin on my own. No investment or whatsoever was attached to my encounter with Bitcoin. That was in 2016. I was listening to a  radio programme that morning and some dudes were talking about Bitcoin (it was the first time I heard of that name). What triggered my curiosity was when they mentioned the price if Bitcoin and how it was greater than a dollar. I think they put it at $750 per a Bitcoin and that wowed me. After the programme I searched Bitcoin on the net. Then I clicked on something that took me to a site with multiple other cryptocurrencies listed. I later got to know that was Coinmarketcap. I guess it was from that CMC site that I clicked a link to this forum. I didn't even know there was a potential to post and earn before then. Well, here we are today.

Basically, I think one of the driving forces for investors repeatedly falling for similar scams has its root in one of the Nigerian local sayings which when loosely translated comes out as – No one can predict the pregnancy that will birth a king. Most investors have that mindset and believing that once one fails, one tries again. They're of the opinion that the first project might be a scam but the next isn't likely to be and that the risk is worth taking. I guess that's what keeps them going back to similar setup and getting scammed repeatedly. Another force is the type of crypto influencers one follows. If one blindly follows signal groups, that's what also happens because those in the group will tend to follow the calls made by the owner of the group without verifying it first.

Her projection is mere FOMO, if you asked me. I know that no one is likely to deem it fit to complain about that because we all want Bitcoin to soar in price. However, if it were the other way round, a lot of people would call her hater for causing FUD. Now, about her projection; I don't see Bitcoin price getting to that price in 2030 as she mentioned. Bitcoin has two more halving circles to that time from now. I see Bitcoin hitting above $100k in the next halving coming up in 2024 and then we expect a bear season that will drop price until the next halving in 2028 where we can find price above $200k or may be $300k if all things go according to plans. So, how can that huge gap to $1m be achieved? Yeah, I know this is cryptos and anything can happen but I don't sincerely see $1m happening.

I don't think there was any airdrop. They went straight to business and listed on Coingecko and started trading immediately on Pancakeswap a few days ago, precisely on Dec 22 from available data. Price took out four zeroes at ATH but is quickly declining now to six zeroes. The next we're going to observe will be no liquidity and that ends it. Investors will gnash their teeth in loss and pain and then move on. The fraudster will move to another project and the circle repeats itself continually.

There's a dude from my country who prides himself on social media as the number one crypto influencer promoting that XShib token on his telegram pump group. Subscription to any of that dude's groups (he has several different groups with different packages and enticements) isn't chicken feed. You can't even get in with anything less than $500. This is why anyone who wants to safeguard their hard earned cash should steer off pump and dump groups. The pioneers of these groups and their friends are always the winners because they get to buy big first before announcing it to the ignorant subscribers.

How strongly I detest the word, "Freebies" because I believe in the actual sense there's no free lunch anywhere on the globe. Something has to give, as they say. The principle should be for people not to be beggarly in their approach to things. When we look out for others to hand us freebies, it makes us lose our self worth. That's the way I see it anyway. I see a great deal of that often on social media

By the way, talking about "cashing out", let me quickly mention a token I saw recently called "Christmas Shiba (XShib)". What the heck is that? A token in that format will always be what it's. People are already skeptical with Shiba Inu and then another comes with a name bearing the moment. I think XShib will end up a shit token and those in charge will cash out big time.

Fine and good.

However, what beggars explanation is why would a campaign manager accept a user who already had a neutral tag into their campaign but thereafter ask the user to find a way to get it removed? Why not reject the user in the first place? That's the supposed case with OP or that which I alluded to. If from the outset a user is rejected based on a tag, I don't think it will be much of an issue like what is being discussed now.

Yeah, he did a great job with that explanation by making it as simple as it could get. Yet, there are some who will still miss it.

For the life of me, I honestly don't understand why people do that. It won't be a crime to use Google translator to understand discussions going on in different locales other than one's (If one is that nosey, anyway) but to want to contribute in that discussion in pretence that one is actually from that locale is imposition that should be punished. I think there was a time we had a user barged into the Nigerian locale to act that way but was swiftly intercepted and they left. OP is doing so many things wrongly at the same time and seemingly doesn't realize it yet.
