221  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Accessing gambling sites only on desktop as a means to prevent addiction on: May 14, 2024, 04:10:33 PM
I'd like to share with the community a humble trick I've seen helping me and also many others.
It is a good strategy to eliminate the ease of accessing gambling platforms, which can reduce the frequency with which you gamble.

But on the other side of things, this strategy will not be effective for people who spend more time on their personal computers than they do on their mobile phones. Those persons will of course, then have to do the opposite, which is to try only accessing gambling platforms via their mobile phones and not their personal computers.

I actually came up with this thread after I've put to considerations in researching why most of bitcoin Investors expresses their regrets of coming late to the bitcoin industry was because of the lies laideby our governments and also why the government is being against the non custodian financial system as bitcoin and the cryptocurrencies at large is because the government have in plan to economically imprison the people in the future ..
The government, through their established systems, has always tried to maintain control over everything and everyone. Most sectors, like the educational sector, banking sector, entertainment and media, etc., are fashioned for that purpose, so anything or anyone that they cannot control becomes a threat to them.

Their deceit was more effective before than now. People are wiser due to better information that can be accessed through the internet and they now realize that not all government decisions are in their favor; some policies and government decisions are meant to limit citizens.

This is a major reason people have taken to self-education: they are aware that the government does not want you to know everything or something that will make you begin to challenge and doubt them. Also, the reason people are taking to cryptocurrency is to limit the financial control the government has over them.
223  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto as job salary - Yay or Nay? on: May 14, 2024, 02:46:57 PM
Let's say you have a job that gives you the option to have your salary paid in BTC, ETC, or any other cryptocurrency, would you prefer that or would you rather still be paid in fiat? If you'd prefer crypto payment, which currency would you choose and why?
I will accept a larger percentage in fiat based on the new regulations concerning P2P in my country, which would make it a bit difficult to trade cryptocurrency to fiat once the policy gets into full effect or use fiat to purchase cryptocurrency.

I will accept more in fiat, like 80%, and then the remaining 20% in BTC.

This statement mean say anything way them no write as law or as offence for the Nigeria law book no be crime and because then never write this cryptocurrency own for the law book e mean say e no be criminal offence for we ninja.
Just know that when e be say your family nor dey known, make you dey careful with Nigerian laws. If dem wan really put inside prison for crypto matter, dem sabi the law pass you and go fit show you side for inside wey you never see before, or quote the law in another manner wey go shock you. The poor man is powerless against the law.

The actions of our government na indirect attack to cryptocurrency, they may not have openly declared cryptocurrency to be illegal, but their actions is clearly to frustrate people from it.
225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing all your fortune with just 3 years on: May 12, 2024, 06:07:17 PM
The sad part here was that he became a victim of casino scheme of alluring user with their offers and allowing him to play while drunk until he loss everything.
Alcohol and wrong decision making are almost 5 and 6, and a strategy that some offline casinos may use to keep gamblers gambling is to keep giving free alcoholic shots to gamblers as they gamble. The chances of making wrong decision while drunk are higher than when decision are made in a normal sober state. This is why gamblers who cannot control themselves and their decisions when they are drunk are advised to avoid taking alcohol or any related substance while gambling so they can make better decisions.

I think it is still a rumor, there is no official statement from Xabi Alonso about this issue.
It is surely very surprising if Ronaldo will return to European competition. If Ronaldo will be a part of Leverkusen squad, it will be a big addition for Leverkusen.
If this is true, it would mean that Leverkusen are already preparing for the Champions league of next season, and if they have a player like Ronaldo with them on the attack, they can be ruthless. I doubt the move, though. I am not sure Leverkusen will be able to handle the wages of Ronaldo unless he decides to cut his wages for the opportunity to play again in the Champions League.

Ronaldo already has a blossoming career in Saudi Arabia that has taken him two seasons to build; I am not sure he would want to abandon it. Next season is another time to try again with Al Nassr.
227  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: If we had higher magnitude of Crypto adoptors and Literates in our society. on: May 12, 2024, 04:49:12 PM
This has in time made me felt like the governments are benefiting from the illiterate being of the people knowing that they do not know the DOs and the DON'Ts and how they can be audible to be defendant.
Have you ever wondered why educational curricula of schools have not been reviewed to have modern-day relevance? or why there is very poor funding for the educational sector? Why would political leaders rather send their children to schools in other countries than schools in Nigeria? I think it is all an intentional act to make sure that we do not get too educated to begin to challenge them. It is too bad that it did not work, The internet offered a window of opportunity for the youths to learn many things outside of what they have been subjected to learning in school.

228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chased loss, got it back and lost everything. on: May 12, 2024, 02:35:36 PM
Anyone here familiar with this kind of scenario on the title? Just recently saw a compulsive gambler diary which he manage to recover everything when he chased loss then later on he loss it all.
I put myself in the shoes of the gambler and can only imagine the morale boost he must have had after being able to chase back all his losses and get them back. He must have felt and become too confident in his abilities, and that overconfidence led to the losses.

It is not advisable to chase your limits, but if you do and you happen to win back all you lost, do not try to get too greedy again by trying to gamble more immediately. Take what you have recovered, try another day.
229  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does the world know about Bitcoin? on: May 12, 2024, 02:16:10 PM
To me i think there are some part of the world that still don't know anything about Bitcoin, because there are people in USA, UK, Australia, Canada, China,etc. even in Nigeria there are people that don't know anything about Bitcoin, they always think that Bitcoin is a scam, but people that know about it are making thousand of Dollars,($) I think they don't know that we are in a digital world now.
Even though the gospel and things like Christianity, which are older than bitcoin itself, are not known in every corner of the world, I am not surprised that there are folks who have never heard of bitcoins, and even in the next five years, these people will still exist. It is even possible that the number of people who have not heard about bitcoin currently surpasses the number who know about it.

The good thing about bitcoins is that both true and false information promotes its popularity. So, those who even get to know about bitcoins from the false information about it will later get to know the truth.
230  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Bitcoin mining on a laptop in 2024 on: May 11, 2024, 11:59:09 PM
Please tell me, is it now possible to mine Satoshi using a laptop?
If there is any application or software that the developers tag as being able to mine bitcoins, it is fake and should be avoided.

The application or software was likely created to attract naive people who are interested in getting bitcoins or naive people who earned some shit tokens through applications on their phones or laptops.

As for Bayern and Kane, oddly enough, Bayern does not yet match his level.
Harry Kane's masterclass and uniqueness are very visible in this Bayern team; he has the best touches and has scored the highest for Bayern this season. Next season, with a better manager who is able to recognize the changes he needs to make and the players he needs to bring in to improve the level and standard of the club.

Julian Nagelsmann and Roberto De Zerbi are among the top candidates for the job; maybe with one of them as manager, the level of the Bayern team will rise to match his level, and trophies will follow.

Lol…, am saying the same thing to myself just now, it’s over to next season. My brother @Igebotz did mention it and I didn’t give it good attention then, I find myself doing it again, with at least a game chip not to use. I really do keep doing that, thanks to the FPL policy, it’s my second season in the game though so, I won’t take too much of it but, am sure to feature next season and @Trofo, it’s going to be game on you,,, out for the big fish now.
This is my first season here as well, and I spent the most of this season making observations. Next season, I would have gained some better experience to compete at a higher level.

@Igebotz, finally got to get Jackson, he seemed promising amongst other contenders coupled with the DG but, at this point, his done nothing.
Jackson finding his confidence after the haircut: Cheesy. Jackson has really good potential to be a super pick for next season if he can keep scoring.

Trofo I picked Haaland following your speculations of on the rise, hope he touches golf in their second fixture.
Gvardiol got the highlight of the game against Fulham, not Haaland. Gvardiol looks to be taking shooting practice.
233  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How to avoid bitcoins and other crypto fraud on: May 11, 2024, 11:29:40 PM
3. Be highly suspicious of anyone who cold-contacts you by direct messaage, email, etc
Be even careful with the people around you, the people who you give your phone or laptop having your wallets to and think that you can trust them. Nor go fall victim, some kind people nor be who dem say dem be. Dem fit dey run double shift, dey act normal for day then dey steal people crypto for night. Dey careful because these people fit put some kind things inside wey  dem fit use dey monitor you and all the things you dey do for the device.

Another side tip is to be careful with who you tell about your bitcoin investment, and what you expect to gain from it.

Newbies may want to plagiarize because they want to play smart. Some people feel say dem too get sense reach where dem fit cheat the system but dem dey forget say the system has been long established even before they came along.

I remember someone who I introduced to the forum and was very particular to them not to plagiarize because it was one of the things frowned against the most here, guess what? I saw that person's profile reported that same day for plagiarism, and I was not happy.

31 games, 29 wins, 2 draws, 0 defeats. congratulations Al Hilal
I was so focused on Bayer Levekusen's 49-game unbeaten run that I never noticed Al Hilal achieving something similar in the SPL. The members of the team will be proud of themselves that they have maintained their record of winning the league even though they do not have one of the greatest players in the world of football (Cristiano Ronaldo).

It is Ronaldo's second season in the league, and still unable to win the league for his club. It shows the league is not as easy as many people see it to be.

If Ronaldo can win the league for Al Nassr, it would be one of his biggest achievements.

236  Economy / Economics / Re: Choosing Between the IMF, World Bank, or Direct Borrowing on: May 11, 2024, 10:46:54 PM
Question
How does a country determined  which of these organizations to approach for funds. If these institutions are always availed to receive. Some countries are not going through these structures rather they borrow directly from the bank of another country. Which is better?
The choice of where to borrow from will depend on the purpose for which the loan is required.

The IMF, World Bank and other lenders have requirements that make borrowers eligible for a loan.
Quote
The World Bank is an international financial institution that provides loans and grants to the governments of low- and middle-income countries for the purpose of pursuing capital projects.

Quote
Typically, a country’s government and the IMF agree on a program of economic policies before the IMF lends to the country. In most cases, a country’s commitments to undertake certain policy actions, known as policy conditionality, are an integral part of IMF lending.

Direct borrowing may not have so many requirements for eligibility,  so maybe countries do direct borrowing when they know that they are not borrowing for capital projects or policy actions.

  • do you think lost Bitcoin can cause Bitcoin scarcity in the future?
The halving and loss of bitcoins are almost similar.

Just the halving tends to increase the value of bitcoins by reducing the number, scarcity due to loss of bitcoins also reduces  the number of bitcoins available too, and as usual, a reduction in the available bitcoins will greatly affect positively the value of bitcoins available

Just imagine being the owner of super big teams across Europe spending thousands of thousands of dollars to buy a foward and think he is gonna save you, become a legend on your team or at least be a key part of a winning team and nothing of that happen,
If you're making a reference to Harry Kane, then I still think that he will still be a great player for Bayern Munich; he just requires a very good manager to fix the other sides of the team he is in. Bayer Munich will be in the Champions League again next season, and they will very likely still get to the quarterfinals, so Harry Kane will have another chance again, and they may be lucky.

... Real Madrid spendind 1.5 m Euros in a loan for a nearby to retirement player with no medals in his career and that player gives them a brace in a UCL semifinal, just insane.
If Real Madrid brings you to their team, there is potential in you to do great things in the sport because the team will give you a good platform for it.

Joselu showed some qualities that Benzema had in the team, Ancelloti must miss Benzema, and the reason he brought in Joselu because he knew the importance of such qualities in big games and used him for that exact purpose.
239  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When is it right to invest in Bitcoin? on: May 10, 2024, 11:38:45 PM
Investing in bitcoin is not something you can just start doing, proper knowledge and planning is needed.
Knowledge is required before investing in bitcoins, but if you were to quantify the amount of knowledge needed before you could make your first percent investment in bitcoin, I would say it is not so much and just within the range of thirty. And as a newbie interested in investing in bitcoins, you do not have to wait until you have all the knowledge before you make your first investment, because while you delay, you may miss some good opportunities to have bitcoins while the price is still favorable. '

Get the basic information required to invest and to keep your bitcoins safe while you improve on your knowledge.
240  Economy / Economics / Re: Your own people family best friends and loyal supportive people are true wealth on: May 10, 2024, 11:28:39 PM
~
If, in friendship, you associate with people who cannot provide any kind of supportive information to further your career or improve your lifestyle, then those people cannot be considered the true wealth that a companion should bring. Your best friends become true wealth when they are the people who help you grow, stay informed, and introduce you to new things that you are unaware of.

There is no wealth in useless and meaningless relationships.
