2161  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: NITDA graduates beneficiaries of the blockchain developer scholarship program on: May 17, 2023, 01:48:46 PM
Last year, The Federal Government of Nigeria through the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) launched a blockchain developer scholarship program to train 30,000 Nigerians. The program was spearheaded by Domineum Blockchain Solution and today the graduands were presented certificate of completion by the honourable minister of communications and digital economy Prof. Issa Pantani in Abuja.

Congratulations to the beneficiaries and let's hope more good things will come out of this.

There's what we called educated illiteracy and this is the same direction the governments were approaching the matters related to the blockchain technology, if they can accept blockchain technology but deny bitcoin which is the major dependent of the technology, doesn't it seems like they gave personal intentions that could be of interest to them than the people when they kick against bitcoin adoption, such could also give them the more edge in having control over the people's finances, which is the main idea Satoshi focused on and preached about when he introduced a digital currency bitcoin, I wish all the beneficiaries could see beyond blockchain alone but also give more room to bitcoin adoption with their impact in cryptocurrency.

People should learn from experience with Paxful and any other centralized exchanges that could just scam away ones asset within a blink of an eye, as long as they are centralized, they were all the same and has the same level of risk in using them, if Paxful could create a stir within the crypto network among other investors then i see no reason why i should go back and invest on them again when i can store my crypto on a decentralized wallet.

In most custodian wallets like trust wallet staking is available for most crypto currencies including trx.is it better to stake such a coin or hodl it

Why should you go for a custodial wallet when you can easilyake use of a non custodial wallet that gives you control over your financial assets, if you already knows about this then still decides in using them, then always stand the chance of embracing every outcomes that may follows your decision, such could be the type that would restrict you from using your asset anytime the needs arises or got hacked when their system get attacked and left you with no recoverable seeds.
2164  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can NFTs last forever? on: May 17, 2023, 11:37:07 AM
All of the NFTs you know and love today, have their data stored their on centralized servers (images, video, etc). What is only stored on the Blockchain is just the properties of the NFT itself. While you're basically the "owner" of the NFT, you could lose technically lose it if the centralized server hosting the content of the NFT goes down.

NFTs to me are just a temporary tokens used to serve a particular purpose frombthe intention of it creators, which makes it not a currency but a token, and investing on token must be with ultimate care because many are scam tokens in the market, as long as they are controlled under a central server developers they can be attacked and or controlled by anyone.

So, what's the point of investing in NFTs if they can disappear in an instant? Unless all of the content is stored on the Blockchain itself, I don't see how NFTs will be able to last forever. Are there already solutions in the works that I'm not aware of? Please enlighten me on this. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley

You shouldn't invest on tokens ror a long time because they can cease to exist anytime especially during high volatility when bitcoin and crypto market goes bearish, some of these tokens goes down completely along.
2165  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most altcoins are fake (wakanda) on: May 17, 2023, 11:22:51 AM
People make fake crypto to make money from stupid people, it's simple

Those that invested in their coin aren't stupid, anyone can fall their trap, though i still have to blame them for lack of proper research before investing with them, but everyone wabt to take that opportunity with cryptocurrency to make money just as some have already got from the oast this fantastic experience in making money when they invested, it's about those behind every crypto projects and not the altcoins itself.

We all here so smart and will not fall for that, but actually a lot of people are buying this and the same stuff.

One still beed to be careful through his being smart not to fall into hands, scammers continue to developed more advanced means of attacking people through online crypto investment.
2166  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to Assess a Memecoin and Not Get Scammed ;) on: May 17, 2023, 11:00:51 AM
Thanks for sharing this piece of information. I personally wish I knew these much earlier, I probably wouldn't have fall a victim of some scam projects. for what it's worth, I hope no one falls a victim of scammers out there, they are ever ready to run away with your money.

Then one has to narrow his research thoroughly to get the best information needed before investing for a particular altcoin or token, many newbies fall a victim because they were not aware quite alright about the basic requirements before they invested, some don't even have an idea of the risk involved, all they got to do is to invest and sit to receive their income while on a fake crypto projects, there's more risk if you don't trust those that you're investing in their project because some already had a bad record while some were in to scam investors.
2167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Confusion about sweepstakes and gambling on: May 17, 2023, 10:43:59 AM
1. Is Sweepstakes illegal in the US?[

No gambling in general is not against the law as long as there's strict attention to the guiding rules that supports each kind of sports gambling activities.

2. Is Sweepstakes gambling or not?

It's gambling, in most cases involves the use of horses yet some gamblers put in their money and gamble and the winner takes the stakes and go, it is commonly practiced in most developed countries, it's also another form of gambling which is different from the sport betting or casino gambling we are used to.
2168  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling is a choice. on: May 17, 2023, 10:23:27 AM
We must feel disappointed because we have experienced defeat in betting and we will experience that. We cannot hope the site will return the money we used to gamble because we have gambled on their site and lost.

At this cause some gamblers will tell you they prefer going for pay back bonus in other to help them reduce lost of their entire money in the gambling attempts they made using a particular amount as stake, this kind of losses alwa increase the interest of gamblers on a hunt for bonuses, but it is very important to always note that you shouldn't gamble with the amount you can't afford loosing.

Playing gambling is everyone's choice. Some want to gamble and some don't want to gamble. If you want to gamble, you must be prepared to experience defeat, where defeat is a sure thing in gambling. Meanwhile, victory will not always come to you, so prepare some money and enjoy playing gambling and stop before your money runs out.

Everyone gambling must have expe this defeat in one way or the other, but most of which were caused by the gambler because of their pattern used and experience in gambling.
2169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: May 17, 2023, 09:57:15 AM
Whenever you're going to far with gambling then check yourself, assess yourself and get a feedback from those close to you, oook at your lifestyle in general, your financial commitment, business activities and engagement, are there recent positive and progressive changes in you, caution yourself, set rules and guidelines, avoid too much exposure to gambling opportunities and live a disciplined life, get yourself a job to engage doing if you're always less busy being occupied.
2170  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: May 17, 2023, 09:46:50 AM

It can be interesting experiment. You can learn to play some new games in such a way, you can try to predict something or test some ideas. But the main test is where you bet your own money. Until this moment your predictions can be good only for you. How someone can believe your prediction if you don`t ready to prove your words with money?
Yes demo account is mainly for learners who want to play some free games without real time deposits on fake accounts,  but then in most cases the quality of the games are not the same with those that are played with real money,  since the winning is what excite many of us,  it's important to also note the place and role of having your bet at stake.

That alone increase the ability of the player to make the best decisions while playing the games,  and since there is a difference between free games and monetized games.

Use of demo account is not the real gambling, but a learning ground to those that are beginners to learn about gambling for themselves, you may not need money to use in doing this because everything had already been set and orogrmmed on a learning platform to make use of their functions, they are not paid services and not the real gambling, but there you play, earn, win and loose which are the primary expectations you come across in real life gambling
2171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there play and pay later casinos? on: May 17, 2023, 09:36:35 AM
Actually,this is possible with an offline casino but can never be possible with an online casino. Down here in my country,

This may actually be permitted in some countries but yet it is not an official thing they may have to announce to the public that they make such offer, some canake use of anything to serve as qualateral for them when they don't have money to play, while soe may get to gamble due to the familiarity they have developed with the gambling operators which the organization must not know, this mean they are taking the risk on themselves because they know the fellow gambler personally to be someone they can always get reached to whenever things happens the unexpected way.
2172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some needed features of an online casino. on: May 17, 2023, 09:22:56 AM
1. They can use more secured ways to identify the real identity of their customer, the best thing to do here, aside from valid ID is they should add "take a selfie" on identity process.
2. They can also set a time limit of playing for a player, give notification if this would be their last game anymore for today.
3. Set a notification showing how long they've been playing.
1. Do you think licensed casino nowadays aren't asking selfie picture as a KYC verification? it's more than that, they even ask driving license, your bank account, your monthly check etc. However selfie picture isn't really a valid proof, what if his parent already took it for verifying an exchange or he lie to his parent the selfie will used for a good thing?

2. and 3. Nope, casino is want to make a lot money, why they need to stop a gambler who's keep losing?

Casimos can never put interest in what will reduce their tendencies for making more money to their casino, which the points number 2 and 3 figure this features out, they can't limit the extent you can go in gambling, moderating your gambling numbers of attempts is like them restricting themselves from making more money from gambling, also license is not the only way to verify the real genuinety of a casino because the licensed ones have scammed gamblers in the past and same the ones not being licensed, all these were just regulations from government that makes no much different frombthe real state of things with gambling.
2173  Economy / Gambling / Re: Slot Educational Parade on: May 17, 2023, 09:11:49 AM
do you think, a parade like this will be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction?

Am sure this kind of parade will not be the type that is coming from the gambling companies but maybe the government or other community subgroups making such organizations, as a matter of fact, gambling addiction is not a problem to the gambling casinos or any organizations into gambling business because they make their money through the process, they would rather encourage more for them to get more money through their gambling customers, but the government or any other interested individuals or groups can make a decision in organizing such, but yet i don't think this will be an effective means to tackle addiction.
2174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there play and pay later casinos? on: May 17, 2023, 08:47:25 AM
So is gambling debt one way or other possible without the person taking loan or borrowing money?

A gambling casino can't loan you to gamble on their site because it will not help their system, tgey are called a gambling platform and bit a loan scheme, they will prefer you go to other loan platforms abd get wuch to use the money for gambling which is not a good idea at all, we have many gamblers they may take loan and refused to pay back due to some circumstances unavoidable, that is why you have to gamble with your own personal money from the income you made than taking a loan that turns a problem on you if you don't win, that's why many opt on for gambling bonuses and referral bonus if they needed to gamble for free when they are not having money.
2175  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you spend more-do you get more? on: May 16, 2023, 09:20:46 PM
There is an opinion that the more money you spend, the more you get in return, it is interesting to find out who really works in this direction.
What I know is that the more you invest, the more likely it will be returned Cheesy But we have to realize that spending a lot is wasteful in my opinion and I don't really agree with something like that.

Investment is what we should focus our minds on than spending, which means even though we will be spending money, it must be limited to what we earn and we should invest a larger portion of our money on profitable assets and spend less, not everyone that knows how to achieve this because they believe in wrong theories they have been told several times by the wrond ideas received from those not performing well in theirs.
2176  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to withdraw money from crypto.com? on: May 16, 2023, 05:18:34 PM
I understand that this is your first post and you would like to help but I would not start by saying how to make a withdrawal from a CEX, on the contrary you really advise against using centralized exchange platforms because sooner or later they will all end up the same.  Rather start buying from bisq and keep everything in your private keys.

I will like to correct two things about OP despite being a newbie here, first is to desist from investing on alts, make use of a decentralized exchanges and lastly to remain careful not to reveal their security details to a third party, then this discu is all about exchanges, this should be posted on the board for exchanges, it will make more meaning having this discussion moved to the appropriate place, not your keys not your coins.
2177  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is something wrong with understanding Bitcoin on: May 16, 2023, 05:03:31 PM
The real situation here is that e everyone want this change in the way of their financial economy and I've heard about bitcoin, they are interested in it and want to invest, but only few were ready to learn how to go about before starting, this is the basic reason why there are so many investors loosing their investment at the end because they lack what it takes to withstand any challenge through this, some also fall into investing on shitcoins at the course, while some may get scammed, all because they lafk the basic information need right before they started.
2178  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Family is the bedrock of the society on: May 16, 2023, 04:45:25 PM
Many in today's society, their children lack the love of their parents, scolding their children without knowing what wrong the children have done. Sometimes such a child is always looking for affection outside the home. Like promiscuity that makes them do bad things. Therefore, many crimes are committed by teenagers today. And overly spoiled children are also not good. Parents must be able to balance between work and family, so that the family is always harmonious. And everything is very influential when the child is in society.

We are all whom we are today as a result of the kind of family we all came out from, the family is the basic unit structure that build the society into what it has today as a big community where people live together, as parents, we need to take good care of our children in the righr way that will help them discover their potentials and whom they were in the society, a child that lacks good upbringing today will be a threat to the family and the society tomorrow.
2179  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is my turn to rule a good manifesto for an incoming President on: May 16, 2023, 04:40:22 PM
Every political candidates will alwa give the usual promises once they are in pursuit of their ambition but things don't happen the way they expect at the long run because the people will always made complaints concerning their performance, they will also act less to expectations because they have many of those they owe an appreciation for contributing to their imminent success in politics, alot or funds meant for the nation building may be diverted to other sociocultural affairs among some particular set of people leaving others behind, the president may wish well hut those surrounding him will not just allow.
2180  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: THE CONTROVERSIAL INCIDENT BETWEEN SEUN KUTI AND POLICE OFFICER on: May 16, 2023, 04:14:57 PM
Public assault on the government officials is not permitted and is a purnishable offence, not to now talk of the security personel, though this kind of assault isn't the first that will be happening and we hear nothing on those involved about them facing the court of law but in case of Seun Kuti, he would habe been a target to the federal government before now and this occurrences sounds to be an opener on his case to go wild ad fresh for further and necessary action from the government.
