21  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Don't fall for such easy scams on: July 16, 2024, 10:49:50 AM
Just like the title says, I was back testing some regular trading sites today. And I saw a pretty interesting one which caught my attention. They had claimed to give free 0.043 BTC upon registering as a welcome gift. I was thrilled and wanted to see for my self.  I followed through their sign up process, using some random emails I just maneuver,and it registered me without any verification. So yes, it was true. I saw the 0.0043 BTC welcome bonus. And wanted to try if it were withdraw able. I already knew the only out come of this, which was obvious from the very beginning. I clicked on withdraw and added an address I don't use. And then I burst out of laughter to see that they had requested a deposit of 0.025 BTC before I would be able to withdraw the bonus. It was so obvious a scam but I wonder if there will still be someone so stupid to fall for such lazy scams. There might be people though, our of greed rush into depositing and eventually funds out it is just a scam. So I just wanted to bring this to the forum so someone might learn something from it. Don't be in a haste to make money, always remember that there isn't any free money on the internet. Noone will give you such huge amounts of BTC for free.

I have some pictures I screenshoted from the website, I would love to share but I really don't know how to post pictures on this forum. I see a lot of people adding pictures to their threads but how do I do that? Anyone care to show me so I can edit this post and add it here also for you guys to see.

Here the link to the website.

One of the reason why some people fell victim of scamming is greed, inexperience and inadequate information because they want to make it to the top using shortcut without due deligente but if truly one is equiped with adequate information and experience it will be very had to fall victim of scam. I'm so impressed that you were smart enough to be able to put a precautionary measure on your experience if not you would have fell to the scam.

News just breaking. Shots fired at a President Trump rally in Pennsylvania. President Trump has been attacked at a rally and it looks like he got clipped on the ear or side of his head by something. He looks to be okay though and the security detail have him extracted from the scene. Hopefully he is okay.

Gunshots have reportedly been fired at Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania, with the former president rushed off-stage by security staff.

Trump appeared to fall to the ground as he was giving a speech. He was quickly surrounded by armed security and stayed down for around a minute.

He then rose to his feet and put his fist in the air, before being escorted off stage and into a vehicle, and then driven away from the scene.

Video appeared to show blood on his ear as he was taken away.

Republican senator for Ohio, J.D Vance, said in a post on the X social media platform: "Everyone join me in praying for our President Trump and everyone at that rally. I hope everyone is ok."

Sometimes it amaze me to see the level of insecurity in most country today. What could really motivate someone to plan assesination on Donald Trump, could we say the assesin was hired by his political opponent or was it because of personal hatred that could inspired someone to ever think of planning attack on someone like Donald Trump.

Most probably mods will block this message.

You know systems like "All Private Keys are here" etc.

I always hate Bitcoin, I always did hate. I know Bitcoin from the first day, I have Hal's private key in my hand, I spent a lot of years to break ECC etc. (Just one single point behavioral issue problem left, then it will be ready, I shared article about this, but no one understands that level of math, and no one cares actually)

Because, you all are just pawns to make bad people rich. More than 50% of the money in Bitcoin belongs to those "Bad People".

It is definitely not safe, no can say ECC is safe while in 2008 NSA already broke it and after they came with Double ECC lie. All private keys are just a number between 1 and 2^256, it can be hard today, but few years ago 2^64 was like that, you remember. Currently graphic cards are processing quadrillions of data in milliseconds, I do not mention about how fast Quantum Computing is evolving. So it will be sooner or later goes down to 0$.

However I do not have time to wait, because years and years I fought with those "Bad People". I just built a small page, randomly generates a private key and checks all related addresses' balances. If I run this on hundreds of containers, I do not think it will be effective, but I always believed crowd effect. If millions of people run this on hundreds of containers, I am not saying we can extract all private keys, however I believe that we can extract very considerable wallets with millions of dollars and we can manage to damage this sh*tCoin.

You can remove my message, you can ban me, but I won't stop.

You don't have to hate Bitcoin, try to appreciate it, think of how you can gain more knowledge about it so that it will enable you to know the potentials of Bitcoin because if you are knowledgeable about the potentials it hold you will always be grateful to yourselve for devoting your time and energy to acquire the knowledge. Bitcoin is one of the best thing that has happened to mankind not just for the economics capacity but it has helped to improve intellectualism.
25  Other / Politics & Society / Corruption is more dangerous than disease on: June 27, 2024, 04:34:49 AM
Corruption is like epidemic that is more dangerous than the most dangerous disease recorded by mankind, it starve the development of the people and inflict the mind, the reasoning, the character, the sociopolitical and the socioeconomic wellbeing of the people. It's also like insurgent that can hold entire nation captive and any nation that is known for corruption is a fail nation that is encapsulate with darkness and suffering.
Fighting a war against corruption is very severe and expensive because you have to fight the mindset of the people and also the people. Many countries in the world today have everything it takes to facilitate development and  improve the standard of living of the people but corruption has held them captive to the mercy of poverty, diseases and suffering.
26  Economy / Economics / Re: Enconomic foresight of Africa on: June 27, 2024, 04:27:52 AM
This has been discussed quite a lot of times already, underdevelopment isn't only in Africa, there are a lot of countries in different continents that are underdeveloped or developing. The challenges are very clear in Africa, corruption/mismanagement of funds, very bad leaders/policy makers, etc. Those in charge of making decisions in many African countries are either corrupt or unqualified for the role they occupy, and the result is what you see.

That being said, there are African countries with good economies and developments, like South Africa, Egypt and Algeria, and many more are growing and developing fast.
Your analysis is very clear and notable. Among all the points you highlighted, I will take corruption as the major cause of underdevelopment in most African countries because it has to do with the character and the mindset of the people.
A corrupt person might be qualify for a certain position but the corrupt mindset that is already embedded in the person will overshadow the qualification and the charisma
27  Economy / Economics / Enconomic foresight of Africa on: June 26, 2024, 09:19:41 PM
Africa as a continent is blessed with adequate enconomic potential that is required to make a develop nation ranging from natural resource and human resource but it amazed me to see the level of underdevelopment and poverty across many countries in africa. Even at that many people from develop countries who know the enconomic potentials are trooping in to Africa on daily basis in search of greener pastures but African were unable to discover their economic potential and this is the major reason why Africa is consider as a developing nations irrespective of their enconomic potentials.
28  Economy / Economics / Re: Is taxation theft? on: June 26, 2024, 09:00:42 PM
Morals talking time.

Surely a matter of topic that has concerned many philosophers and intellectuals. I imagine most of (genuine) Bitcoiners be like "back-to-the-landers", libertarians, with desire to be self-sufficient. However, objectively speaking, taxation is theft. It's taking someone's property without their consent, and it is compulsory. It very much fits the definition of theft, even though you can find it slightly altered in other sources, like the Cambridge dictionary ("the crime of illegally taking something that belongs to someone else")

(That's right dear reader, that was a clickbait!)

The question is rather: Is taxation justifiable theft? A necessary evil? Libertarians tend to argue that it's wrong regardless the intentions. Taking someone's property without their permission is unethical, no matter how good you want to do with it. Others, who support social contract theory, argue that it's necessary and should be seen as "voluntary obligation".

There is no right or wrong answer (un)fortunately. Feel free to speak out loud.



My stance on this is that both "groups" bring some compelling arguments on the table, in favor of their ideology. I don't know. I think there's a place where we draw the line. For example, nowadays, I think we've crossed that line (towards more government of course). I don't think we need that much government into the markets.

I also feel really stupid when I see politicians talking about taxing gains from cryptocurrencies, with phrases like "unhosted wallets", or by attacking privacy services. They talk as if privacy invasion is a requirement, or "obligation" as per the social contract theory. I think this really crosses the line.
Taxation is a strategies that is put in place by the authority or government of a nation in order to raise fund that will enable them to have a smooth running of the government because no government can survive with fund.
Considering the factors that is involve in taxation I can say that taxation is theft when the government or those in authority lack integrity or fail to use the revenue they get through tax to provide the need of the people, in otherwise I can also say that taxation is not theft in the sense that the revenue that is gotten through tax is use the way it is meant to be use
29  Economy / Economics / Re: It's better to invest now than to regret it in a hospital bed. on: June 26, 2024, 08:46:36 PM
There are some things the importance of which we cannot understand until the time comes. Maybe we don't care about those things because we don't need them now, but when we need them, we will regret these things, but regretting them at that time will not help. Now maybe we have the strength of the body and the ability to work so now we can manage all the things but the strength of the body is not there for the whole life of the people or their workplace will not be there for the whole life. Since these are not permanent, we have to plan for the future in advance. Those who invested in Bitcoin exactly 10 years ago planning their future may have gotten a lot better from their investment today. But those who didn't plan their future at that time and invest in Bitcoin even when there was an opportunity are probably regretting it now. Like those who didn't invest 10 years ago and now regret it, we need to plan our investments now so that we don't regret it at some point in our age. 
Congratulations to those who have already planned to invest and those who have Bitcoin investments and hope you will hold your investment for long time but to those who are still planning to invest I would advise you to invest in Bitcoin even if you think about your future. If we can invest now thinking about the future then this investment will be very useful for us at a stage in the future which we may not be able to imagine now.
Investment is the most reliable means of sustainability because it helps to sustain our need today and in the future but one of the major problem associated to investment is knowledge and information of the time to invest. Many people have the zeal and reasonable capital that is require for feasible investment that will bring a good return in the near future but the major challenges they are having is the adequate knowledge of the kind of investment they want and also to know the actual time to invest

Having your stable income or job and buying Bitcoin through that.

That's the most reliable way of earning Bitcoin because you have a stable income and that's what you will use for accumulation. Most of the people is that's what they do.

But if you want to get Bitcoin by not doing that, there are other ways like offering your service and get paid in Bitcoin.
Sincerely speaking, I don't have adequate capital that will be sufficient to invest in the system to enable me earn some Bitcoin but I don't know if there is any possible alternative in regard to earning Bitcoin without capital expenditure. For instance, in forex trading there is always some token assign to brokers which they can trade with the expectations of getting some little capitals that will enable them to stabilize in the system so I don't know if such thing is also applicable to Bitcoin where brokers are given the privilege to trade and possibly get a return that will enable them to have a capital to reinvest in the system for a reliable expected return.

Bitcoin seen to be one of the most reliable means of financial freedom especially to those that were not able to get a sustainable employment but as we all know, nothing good comes so easy, there is always a specific task and price to pay before getting a sustainable means of financial freedom.
I'm a newbie in Bitcoin and I'm passionate to develop myself professionally in the system and to acquire a reasonable Bitcoin that I can rely on for enconomic development but the major challenge I have now is how to go about it and the possibility of breakthrough in the system, so on that note, I sincerely wish to learn to enable me get the prerequisite knowledge for the possibility of acquiring Bitcoin with little or no capital.
32  Other / Politics & Society / Can the world be a better place without religion? on: June 23, 2024, 02:54:25 AM
The world is encapsulated with so many religion embedded with different doctrines, teaching and belief which have affected our sense of reasoning in different ways. Religion has raised serious concern to mankind especially in terms of sociopolitical and economic coexistence. The major cause of insecurity in most part of the world today is the problem of economic and religion supremacy where everyone seen to uphold their religion with virtue and in a high esteem and even considered it to be the only true region and the only way to salvation and internity thereby condemning or seeing other religion as fake. So therefore, considering the problem associated with religion differences in world today, I think the world would have be a better place without religion.
33  Other / Politics & Society / Personal interest should not despite reality in politics on: June 23, 2024, 02:19:13 AM
Political interest has caused so many harm to our society in terms of good leadership, policy and economy because a lot of people especially politician see politics as a game of interest rather than looking forward to producing a good leader that will have the interest of their nation at heart. Many politicians have sold their conscience because of political interest and sometimes their interest may not be to leverage of their nations but for greediness and selfishness.
So many politician especially in Africa are only concern about their personal gain than improving the standard of living of their people. It's good to have personal interest in any political system but such interest should be in line to the interest of the masses otherwise it's wrong for a personal interest to be a disadvantage to the development and sustainability of the masses.

Hi guys, I am 19 years old and know a lot about finance (ETFs, funds, crypto, stocks, commodities)
I have been Bitcoin swing trading for a year and I am still not profitable. I would like to be self-employed as an investor or trader after my IT education. Does trading really work in the long term to be profitable?
If truly you have adequate knowledge of everything you claimed here I believe you on the right track to success. However, for you not to have been successful could be that you are not doing the right thing in the system so I will advice you to seek more clarifications from those that are ahead of you in the system to enable you know the resource you will put you that will give the expectable return.
35  Other / Off-topic / Re: What pushes a lady into double dating. on: June 23, 2024, 01:34:44 AM
Maybe lack of trust being with one man only in case something goes wrong along the way .
Lack of trust alone is not enough reason for cheating or unfaithfulness because if someone see that there is no trust in a relationship I don't think if there is any law that prohibit the person to walk away from the relationship and look forward to building a better and trustworthy relationship. I think there is more to that than lack of trust.
36  Other / Off-topic / Re: What pushes a lady into double dating. on: June 23, 2024, 01:21:40 AM
This life no balance,and if you are trying to balance it ,it might course a big issue to you but all the same will all try our best in anything we are doing to make sure that life is smoother for us ,can you imagine a girl his man do everything for her yet she still went ahead in cheating on him ,I want to know what exactly that push ladies into this double dating .
Considering the kind of character that most of our teenagers are putting up in relationships nowadays, it look like faithfulness seen to be a thing of the olden days because I doubt if there is anyway most teenagers will stick to one person in a relationship. However, there are so many factors to be consider as the major causes of unfaithfulness, it could be as a result of influence of peer group or societal influence, lack of parental responsibilities or poor upbringing, poverty, ignorance, inappropriate orientation, economic factors and indecipline. I honestly believe that if most of hese factors are handle properly I think there will be some limit in the rate of unfaithfulness in relationship.
37  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is lying now part of human nature? on: June 22, 2024, 10:21:13 AM
Lying is a typical human activity. Actually when your kids start lying that's when you know their brain is maturing. That said, societies in the past had made sure to discourage it for the in-group. I think that these days the "progressive" culture is more permissive of it. Usually when it's in relation to pet movements - for example the slap on the wrists women get for making false accusations or when minorities report fake hate crimes like Juicy did.
Considering the kind of world we find ourselves now it seen lying is part of human nature. One of the major reason why most people conider telling lies instead of truth is because most people prefer lies than truth, people see lies as the easiest way of making their way to there needs and most people even regard liers than those that are upright.

What to do to save yourself
I think one of the major thing that make a job boring is the kind of responsibility involve in the job and the corresponding wage. For instance, someone may be working for 24hours without having enough time to rest but the wage involve in the job may be nothing to correlate with the energy put in for the job. So if you are in such situation all you have to do is to replan yourself and seek for a sustainable alternative that will relief you from such stressful job.
39  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you trust the co-vid19 vaccine ? on: June 12, 2024, 08:58:22 AM
During the covid-19 when the disease was still common and alarming I discovered that thoese who are free from this virus immediately they too k  the vaccine they became infected. Some of this vaccine were not really working , companies were making vaccines that they were not if it was working, pepper really made money from this vaccines when this disease was alarming then.
The purpose of COVID-19 vaccination is to contain the spread of the virus not a total cure and most of the vaccines has adverse effect to the body which might affect the body negatively. I don't really think that taking a COVID-19 vaccine will cause COVID-19 to someone that is not infected with the virus just that what you are considering as COVID-19 infection to negative vaccinated person is the adverse effect and reaction of the vaccine to the body.
40  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you trust the co-vid19 vaccine ? on: June 12, 2024, 08:48:34 AM
I won't trust the covid 19 vaccine until I get the original vaccine because many companies are developing fake vaccines that can have a worse effect on the human body it is better to stay away from these vaccines seeing the virus cannot be cured without a vaccine will have to wait until the right vaccine is found. So scientists around the world are now working to invent a vaccine as quickly as possible but these studies are being hampered by rumors conspiracy theories and the spread of false information about vaccines online.
What are the qualities of original vaccines and how can one identify the vaccines that is original among other fake vaccines?
Before a vaccines will be approve to be sellable it must undergoes several test, verifications and certifications so for this reason I think most vaccines that you are seeing as fake may not necessary be fake considering the processes involved before a vaccines will be approve to be introduce in the market. However, most of the vaccines that might be seen as fake has been used by many people and it has been working for them properly for the containment of COVID-19.
