You are under no obligation to actually make a post. You can comfortably read through the different rules and general mode of communication around the forum and actually post when you want. You can even read through the forum as a guest without registering on the forum.
Any pressure is one you put on yourself, probably cause of how you were introduced to the forum.

You are getting the stages mixed up again: You first learn, build experience, ask questions and learn some more, only then can you consider ranking up and earning. Those are secondary benefits of the forum.

You said it yourself; learn, find something that interests you and learn some more on that, then you can impact with knowledge.
What do you mean investments??

That's probably the reason, cause edits within the "grace period" of 10 minutes (formerly 5) are not logged by the forum software. There are third party services available on the forum that sweeps posts regularly and can get more recent edits, but that was the original idea behind the time frame for edits to be shown.

Wrong. This is a community and quality discussions with other forum members is what gives a sense of belonging. Even contributions which are not public like reports to moderators are very useful.
If there are any threads at all where a user asks a question or makes an inquiry and gets a useful response, that right there represents the forum.

If the sole purpose here is to get paid, then you would find it difficult contributing and you do not have to, if you feel you're not getting the benefit you desire from it.

I did a quick research on edge wallet and found out that they had a non KYC option some years back. I do not know if that's still active, and would not advice you use the wallet as it does not have much reputation.

Yes, you can't maintain anonymity if you have released your personal details to a service provider, those details could be used and sent anywhere without your permission.
There are P2P options which do not require KYC, such as bisq and Hodlhodl.

The Nigerian government recently updated their view of digital assets and services, lifting the ban and imposing regulations which in my opinion would limit growth of such services.

Back to the book club; it is a nice initiative and can reach out to the Nigerian audience. Reading the title and first few lines, I actually thought it was a physical book store, but it appears to be online. Good initiative either way.

My advice; do not over shoot the significant of Bitcoin, it can hardly affect the economy or improve standard of living, if can however make citizens to want to be more financially aware and independent instead of relying on an economy which is plagued by inflation.

Everyone has their opinion of course, but I do not consider that to be an apt comparison. In start ups, owners ask for investments mostly to scale up the business, in this instant they have already set something in motion at this time which investors can appraise after listening to their pitch.
There are also instances when one can take a loan to start a business, this should also be placed based upon a thriving enterprise or learning an in demand skill, these are very different from borrowing money you do not have, to trade where the outcome is majorly out of your control regardless of your skill and experience.

"Professional" traders should not need to borrow money in order to trade, they could rather leverage.

In addition to the advice you already got; Keep back ups for everything - Your email and profile passwords and your staked address seed phrase. This way even if you lose access to your device which contains your wallet, email and forum profile, you can recover everything back.

Also, avoid phishing links, preferably, click to always stay logged in. And do not enter your forum log in details on any third party platform.

I read that news some hours ago and how I see it;

The news of the 80kBTC sale was announced today or that's when I saw it (not sure) and so far the price of Bitcoin has not changed much, not nearly enough to be analyzed and linked to an announcement from LUNA.
The sale was also said to have taken place over the weekend, during which time Bitcoin rose from approximately $26k on Thursday to $31k today.

I stopped paying attention to the post and indeed the article when they talked about "experts". This seems to just be a word media channels throw around to give credibility to unfounded assumptions or to refer to channels with large following.

Bitcoin does not have a dependent correlation with Terra USDT and a drop in the latter would not have an effect on the former. Price drops would be for a variety of reasons some of which were listed in the article.

The agenda of the meeting is not centered around Bitcoin; Bitcoin appears to be an offshoot of financial inclusion and digital economy, which is a topic for many of the countries in the list posted by Bukele.

Access to financial services available globally is an important factor which supports economic growth of SMEs; Emerging fintech and digital enterprises and bridging the gap between countries and Bitcoin tends to play a part in this as it is neutral to a Nations economy or GDP growth, and creates a platform where they can transact directly.

I didn't want to spam your most recent thread, as you already created an announcement thread regarding your new name.
I was a bit shock reading that thread, then the username which I didn't recognize and then catching the signature and other profile details below it, thinking; that looks very familiar.
Cool name, cooler than your previous one in my opinion.

I'm guessing you already created matching profiles on your business pages for uniformity; it would be easier to get impersonated that way.

This should be; don't invest in anything more than you can afford to lose. Investments bear a certain level of risk, with the possibility of losing your investment. Do not put in more than you can spare.

Also, do your damn research. Not every asset or currency should be bought; that's not diversification, it's simply creating more ways you can get burned out.

Some might be too lazy to do research on the managers or the campaign they are applying to, looking at the managers trust feedback is the bare minimum most do and these particular account hasn't been tagged yet.

I'll drop a red tag on the user and hopefully that would deter other unsuspecting members from applying.

• This is possible. The compatibility depends on the device of the user and the wallet version, newer versions would not work on certain devices.

• This could be an issue with the version you're using. The feature should possibly still be there, not just with the same layout as now recent releases.

• Browse around the software and look for the option. Or rather than getting it to behave as expected, get a wallet that's already doing that.

Multiple posts in a row is against forum rules.

Good news for Bitcoin as well as Emirates Airline. There was no report about how they would collect the payments and if they would hold some of their funds in Bitcoin.m, although with the current dip and uncertainty, this may not seem like the right time (although it's a pretty good time)

The current propaganda is about electricity consumption and environmental health which are promoted by banks and anti-bitcoiners. It's a baseless argument as the others before it, but trust the public to believe news without doing proper research.
I'm confident, this would pass, as all the other Bitcoin attacks before it

It may not seem as much, but the campaign against centralized exchanges as a storage point has some sort of impact on the users and would have made some to rather go for self custody over handing over your funds to a third party.
There would always be people who would not change despite the different warnings; banks can freeze your accounts at any time and require multiple credentials on registration and yet are very popular, so the concept of full transparency to any financial organization with perceived reputation is wide spread.

Many would argue that coinbase should not be going bankrupt anytime soon; however, the idea that your funds can be taken away at any time, frozen pending investigations, and these third party exchanges can change their ToS at anytime and you have to agree to the changes to keep using their service (with your funds in them) is already enough signals to avoid Cex.

I'm not sure how easy or practical this would be, but one way I can see this done is if a user creates a phishing link hidden in the post which will redirect to a fake forum log in page. If a users clicks on a link deliberately to take them there, they would be fairly certain it's a phishing link, but if they do not do so and just get redirected, that could be mistaken as a forum pop up which wants to confirm their password.

Regular members should easily spot this, but I wouldn't know for those who've not been here for a while.

This is a very good catch and just thinking of it, I can see so many ways this "bug" can be exploited and used to scam or steal accounts. Would not post them, as not to give anyone ideas, but a certain tag should be added so hyperlinks would be distinguished from the rear of the post.

Also, would it be possible to have a notification before opening links, sort of "are you sure you want to b redirected to..."
This would prevent inadvertently clicking on links, especially when you're on mobile.

I agree that situations like this should be considered as there is a possible security risk as you pointed out. I however do not agree that this should warrant a red tag on the user as it is a situation that can occur inadvertently, and affect innocent new members. It could also be the original user who created an alt account with a similar name.
A neutral tag and a public post such as this, or maybe a compilation of similar usernames would suffice.

If I do a random search on BPIP, there are quite a number of similar usernames for 'possibly' different users.

This tulip argument doesn't really apply. The tulip mania was fueled majorly by hype and fomo with no real utility. It was basically a bubble as we have seen in many instances.
When someone says, 1 BTC would remain so, it simply means that it retains the qualities that make it valuable, despite price corrections and dips and we've come through different market cycles, and still rebounded in price.

There was nothing really making tulips valuable besides the idea of luxury which it offered and once that dissipated, the bubble burst.
