221  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What can 1 Bitcoin buy in your country? on: April 23, 2024, 03:46:14 PM
Bitcoin is worth #83,767,500 this is $65,700 currently in my country, so if I have the privilege to have 1 BTC, I will rent a big shop with #2,000,000 which is about $1600, and set up a standard supermarket and stock it with quality stuffs. I have passion for business of this kind and others but for now this is what will get to my mind.

The first thing that comes to my mind is Satoshi Nakamoto

Actually, Satoshi Nakamoto is the first that comes in the mind of every crypto enthusiasts but since the extinction of Satoshi Nakamoto and due to his/their anonymity, there have been some crypto lords that have been very active in the Blockchain industry such as the CEO of the world largest Crypto currency exchange platform Binance whose name is called Changpeng Zhao popularly known as CZ, some others includes Michael Saylor, Cathie Wood, Bryan Armstrong, Gavin Wood and so many others.
223  Economy / Economics / Re: Food shortages coming to the United Kingdom, BUT - on: April 22, 2024, 07:31:10 PM
Farmers protesting has been in the news for months already not just in the UK. In most countries in the EU, farmers have been protesting and dumping shit on government buildings seeking the government to stop cheap imports and inflation for they are not profiting because of it.

Sure the weather is a factor as well but if the government is adding weight to thier burdens I'm sure they are going to make food shortage worse.

From my own understanding this food shortage is not coming as a result of climate changes but rather I feel that it was due to fake manufactured foods by farmers and it is a good one by the UK government because what will be the essence of having surplus foods when majority of them are fake. And it is also a way of protecting citizens and others from harmful foods and likely food positioning.
Food scarcity have been a major challenge across the globe as it's not only in the United Kingdom that is experiencing food shortage and the causes isn't that farmers are not trying their possible best to make farm produce available but rather due to degradation of the soil as a result of industrial actions have made the soil lose fertility and unable to produce much foods as expected again.
224  Economy / Speculation / Re: If China Supports Crypto, Where Can Bitcoin's Price Go? on: April 22, 2024, 04:50:26 PM
Most of these countries that banned cryptocurrency has citizens that are very much active in the crypto industry so no matter how strict the government goes on individual that are involved in crypto, some citizens will still find there way out because crypto is freedom and I believe everyone needs freedom despite the government taking some hard decisions, people will still choose to be free rather than being under manipulations of the government.

China is an influencial nation that swims in good economy and have a good economic system so if their government decides to lift the ban and a lot of Chinese ventures into Bitcoin investment or mining it will for sure have impact in the price of Bitcoin because when there is so much in-flow in the market, the prices also skyrockets.
225  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Be careful and don't rely on one source of income. on: April 22, 2024, 04:40:47 PM
Many times people are advised on the need to create another source of income that will stand as an alternative incase the principal source fails. One of the reasons why most people fail is their over dependency on just one source of income with the idea that they will continue with it till lifetime, even if you have a job that have a lifetime guarantee, it doesn't mean you shouldn't have another source or better still make investments with part of your income.

 I know of a family that was living large because the man of the house was working in an oil company and earning huge amount of money but this family spends money extravagantly and the wife was not established in any business neither do the man own any business, the only investment he made was to buy cars and build a living home, a day came when the man lost his job and things began to fall apart so he borrowed money and used his house as a collateral. He started a business but since he was now under pressure of home needs and other things, his business crashed and when the loan was due, the bank he borrowed money from had to seize the property he used for collateral and that was how this man and his family went back to the village to start from square one.

No matter how much you earn in a particular job you are doing, make sure you have an alternative like another source where income will be flowing as well so that you don't tell stories that touches the heart tomorrow. Another advice I will like to give is that no matter how difficult you find yourself, never sell a landed property to solve a problem except you have many and don't always result to habit of selling landed properties or using them to take a loan because landed properties are very good assets that last for a long time.

Anyone who buys bitcoin with the believe that it will skyrocket during or after the halving is making a wrong speculation, after all we are not yet in the bull run and for the fact that a new ATH was created before the halving also sends a big signals for anyone who wants to invest in Bitcoin to be very careful when making investments for short interval except they do that for the long term.
227  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could Artificial Intelligence Make Bitcoin Much More Valuable? on: April 22, 2024, 02:20:55 PM
But for very small transactions, Bitcoin is still impractical, given the transaction fees. If a solution to this problem is not found, it could open the door for other cryptocurrencies to become the "currency of Artificial Intelligence".

This is where I feel the developers of Bitcoin has not done enough work, normally if a transaction involves a huge amount and the transaction fees is a little high, it is understandable but just imagine someone making small transactions and the fees are very frustrating because I've had experience of making a little transaction that involves Bitcoin worth 20$ and I was charged 11$ as transaction charges, it's very painful more especially when you measure the fees amount with that of your native currency.

Though I believe that Artificial intelligence will bring solutions to our monetary system more especially the ones that are associated with cryptocurrency but it cannot solve all but it is most possible to give accurate predictions.
228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Conference League 2023/24 Season on: April 21, 2024, 11:52:36 AM
Aston Villa is really change under Emery because they can showing champion mentality and it's not easy to beat Lille because this team was performing well too but at the penalty shootout we can see Aston Villa is deserved to called as champion candidate even so with Fiorentina although it's not easy but finally they can beat Viktoria Pilzen but do not forget too about Club Brugge because unlike other teams who have to hard struggling to beat their opponents but Club Brugge journey to reach to the semifinal matches is very smooth because they can beat FC PAOK twice with final aggregate 3-0

Aston Villa vs Olympiacos
Fiorentina vs Club Brugge

On the paper Aston Villa and Fiorentina is favourited can beat their opponents but i don't think it would be so easy because Olympiacos and Club Brugge performance also very impressive but indeed i expect Aston Villa and Fiorentina can beat their opponents because if this really happend then it will be a dream final match and we have already to discuss about this before and my favourite is Aston Villa

Aston Villa have been in a good performance this season and their team spirit lifted them to where they are now, just last week they won Arsenal in the premier league match and also qualified for the Europa conference league semi finals, that is to show how determined they have become and all Thanks to Unai Emery for building such a formidable team and I commend his coaching skills at Villa Park.
Aston Villa versus Olympiacos match will not be a problem for Aston Villa more especially in their home ground so they are going to qualify for the finals against either Club brugge or Fiorentina because with the energy that Club brugge showed on the Europa conference league, they might surprisingly win Fiorentina and get to the finals so that match is not yet certain which among them will qualify for the finals but for that of Aston Villa and Olympiacos, Aston Villa have my stake there.
229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 21, 2024, 11:37:25 AM
but even though Bayern Munich is as strong as it is and cannot be underestimated, for Real Madrid the pressure against Bayern Munich is not like when it is against Man City.
so, even though Madrid has to admit that Munich is one of the strongest teams in the UCL, at least Madrid will be more relaxed in planning their strategy to get rid of Munich because this big team from the Bundesliga is experiencing difficulties in their defense and Ancelotti will take advantage of this.
even though the attack line has Kane, Kane still won't be able to break through the strong defensive wall that Madrid currently has and out of my mind I predict that Madrid will have a greater chance of qualifying for the final round.
Bayern Munich this season is much different and of course Real Madrid is no longer under so much pressure because Bayern Munich's quality and performance has decreased significantly compared to last season.
It is true that the rivalry in the UCL between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich was quite fierce several seasons ago, but we also have to look realistically now that Bayern Munich's chances are not much greater than Real Madrid's to advance to the final.

You are right about Bayern Munich not being too strong as compared to previous seasons but don't Underrate Bayern Munich because anything can happen at this point because that was how everyone trusted Liverpool but at last they failed and couldn't go further so let us not forget that this is a team that is very active in the champions league so the unexpected should be expected.
230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are not to gamble. on: April 21, 2024, 10:44:21 AM

👉👉when you are in need of money urgently

👉👉To regain back your loses

👉👉Under pressure or frustration

See if any gambler is faced with these three reasons or conditions you mentioned, he will automatically stop himself from gambling. Because all these situations are undesirable and can happen to anyone at any time so if he is an experienced and professional gambler then he must refrain himself from gambling in the above mentioned situations.
However, many times there are many mental disorder gamblers who do not pay attention to the above mentioned conditions and gamble only for the greed of money, so these situations come upon him as more terrible. So those gamblers can't stop themselves in all these situations and can't stop themselves from gambling.

On a norm, when a gambler is experiencing these conditions he mentioned above, it is a very critical stage because when you gamble to get money urgently he even loses more instead of gaining and trying to recover lost funds will even lead to more deeper loss which leads to frustration and depression so in order not to experience this things going on a break at that material time is very important for the mental health of that person.
231  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do not let the over excitement after the bull-run pull you out to danger on: April 21, 2024, 10:20:41 AM
Couple of days ago, I read about a thread with a background of how two friends discusses about Investing in Bitcoin but while one was unready with irrelevant excuses to put a realistic action to it, the other one has already anonymously invested and was doing well in his investment.
Later on the unready guy felt regreted on why he never invested. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5488722.msg63799458#msg63799458.

This has got me to ask, after the bull run and hopefully you hodles your Bitcoin til the ATH and then you have made enough money, are you going to go out there and let those who were in doubt about the profitable potentials of Bitcoin to let them know about your investment in the Bitcoin and how so well you are doing in the industry?


Any one who has access to the Internet must have one way or the other encountered the discussions about Bitcoin because the news is no longer hidden as almost every online platforms both on social platforms, you see people talking about cryptocurrencies so you don't have to show anyone how successful you have become before you persuade them. When you are making progress in life, it is always visible for all to see so anyone who is interested in knowing what you know should be able to come to you for tips and guidelines on how to also become successful like you, don't go about trying to convince anyone to invest in Bitcoin.

Investment is the best means of wealth creation now because it is a form of securing the future financial needs because imagine living happily when you are young and living a retched life while getting old and it is not only about making investments but investing on promising assets that will last for a long time of which investing on Bitcoin is the sure way to go because it has a promising future.
233  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Eating healthy on: April 21, 2024, 10:00:56 AM
Eating healthy foods is necessary in the life of any body who wants to live longer and healthier and majority of people don't know the health benefits that is associated with eating healthy and natural foods. People basically eat any food just to satisfy their stomach and some people go as far as preferring to eat just a particular food and reject others. Before one can live more healthier, eating healthy foods is the key and it is good to make research on foods that have high nutritional value before eating. Don't eat because you want to satisfy the hunger in you, eat good food and stay healthy as that is even the most important wealth anyone can have because if you look at some wealthy people in our society now, most of them have chronic diseases because of too much intake of sugary foods and most of them are even diagnosed with diabetes because of high intake of sweetened foods. And they spend so much money treating their health issues which some of them even lost their lives in the process so it is good to give attention to whatever food that goes into our body.
234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 21, 2024, 09:32:43 AM
PSG's chances are still very big now even though their opponent is Dortmund, which is a new club just like PSG, which has just stepped into the semi-finals after all this time competing in the Champions League.

We should be ready to accept defeats if our favorite club is still in thr UEFA Champions League till this moment. Paris Saint-Germain have always been the leading team and they've tried with their best to ensure they're winning every mediocre team in league matches, does that extend to the UEFA Champions League? Ofcourse if does. Luis Enrique have to be extremely careful with his opponents in the UCL semi final. PSG eliminated Barcelona and now they're coming for Borrusia Dortmund, a game that will be filled with suspense.
This is a very serious stage for PSG and looking back at how devoted this players were while playing Barcelona means Luis Enrique is doing a good job at PSG and since PSG is in a comfortable position at the top of the league now, they will give more priority to their match against Borussia Dortmund because for Borussia Dortmund to eliminate Atletico Madrid means they are up to something which PSG needs more carefulness if not something strange might happen to them.
235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 21, 2024, 09:27:11 AM
Union Berlin 0:5 Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich may have lost the title this season to the better team Bayer Leverkusen but watching them still play brilliantly today after their game against Arsenal in the champions league shows how dedicated they are in finishing the league well even though they have lost the title already. Today, they proved superiority once again by trashing Union Berlin from away after struggling in their previous matches to  score goals, I believe they will finish the season as runners up in the league if they maintain the good performance by winning their remaining matches and scoring more goals like they did in this match against Union Berlin.

Edit: 1:5 full-time score.

I wish Kane was able to score more goals than only one in this game. The reason why I wanted such thing is that he would have been much closer to breaking a new goal record in the Bundesliga. The existing record belongs to Lewandowski with 41 goals you know. Right now Kane has 33 goals and only 4 league games left to play. It looks like this won't happen this season.  Sad

But considering the way Kane started his first season here I have big hopes from him to break this goal record. Maybe it would even happen in next season who knows.  Smiley  Next time Bayern Munich are playing against Frankfurt home but I wouldn't recommend anyone to take a risk by betting on Bayern Munich. Because I assume we would see a big rotation as they have the first leg of the Champions League only three days after this game.

Harry Kane is a goal scorer as his scoring techniques can be seen when he was playing at Tottenham so if he spends more time at Bayern Munich, he may break Robert Lewandowski goal scoring record of 41 goals in a season.

No doubt that Bayern Munich may not take their match with Frankfurt seriously due to their champions league match with Real Madrid which is a very important game for Bayern Munich, since they have already lost the Bundesliga, winning Real Madrid will be their most desire even though everyone is giving the odds to Real Madrid but the reverse may be the case if Bayern Munich puts in their best more than Real Madrid.
236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [1 to 3 days] a long running game good or bad? on: April 21, 2024, 09:18:57 AM
Placing running bets is not advisable because in most cases, emotions are attached to it when maybe after most of the events most have played accordingly and you are patiently waiting for the remaining ones to play the next day and in that case the events to play didn't play according to predictions, it can lead to being emotional when you calculate the time you spent while checking the tickets and almost at the end of winning and you experience a lost ticket instead playing events that will just end up in a day is preferable so that if it didn't play accordingly, you just erase your mind off it and move on.
237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online casino gambling is more of profit chasers while land base is more of fun on: April 21, 2024, 09:11:41 AM
What is your opinion towards my research that online casino gambling has more of possesed players who stakes to make profits while the land base gambling is more of players who stakes for funs?
When you talk about possessed, it is not the right word to use as you can just say the frequently used word addiction instead of possessed but that not withstanding the reason why people who plays online becomes too controlled by gambling is because it is accessible to them at all times and anywhere in the sense that just by using their phones they can login to online casino sites and start playing making it look obvious that an addiction may follow it up but however, there is no many much difference between gamblers who play online and the ones that plays offline because they both are after making profits while wanting to have fun in the process
238  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Understanding the Impact of Social Media in Gambling. on: April 21, 2024, 08:51:46 AM
That is the more reason why gambling shouldn't be hidden from the young ones and most people basically practice anything they see online more especially when they come from celebrities or influencers that is the reason why people need to educate their children with proper knowledge of the things happening around them so that when they hear it outside, they won't be misled or misinformed.
239  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 21, 2024, 08:46:53 AM
Arsenal game vs Wolves have ended in a 2:0 in favour of Arsenal,who played a massive defence and a massive attack game against Wolves.Wolves were very good at this game,but they couldn't break through Arsenal's defence to get a goal.Odegard's late goals sealed it for the gunners who are now on top of the league with one point ahead of City who haven't played their premier league game yet because they played a semi final with Chelsea today,winning 1:0 to qualify to the final of the tournament.
Arsenal won an easy victory as usual, no I am not serious when I say this, of course it was a stress-filled match as usual, the Wolves played great defense, they were under control. Arsenal finally broke Wolves' defense and took a deep breath with a 2-0 victory. Odegaard showed the difference as a player of a completely different standard. When Odegaard scored the goal, he made a good sign, showed his intelligence, hit the ball and pulled the plug. Both of the goals scored by Arsenal were scored at the end of the first half and the second half, so it was not an easy time and was tiring throughout the match.

Indeed Arsenal had a tough outing against wolves yesterday and I commend them for putting more effort to win wolves because it was really a difficult match for Arsenal because wolves really made it hard for the gunners by playing a solid defense but at last Arsenal made it through. Martin Odegaard have become an important player for Arsenal and his awesome display made him score the second goal for Arsenal towards the ending part of the match.
240  Economy / Economics / Re: Insurance is important on: April 21, 2024, 08:40:15 AM
Yes for people who live below the poverty line or in the middle of the poverty line, getting insurance is an impossible thing to think about.
That is the major problem here because you can tell a poor man trying to survive life to insure their properties and moreover those properties may not even be worth insuring because even as we are talking about insurance, it has to deal with properties with high worth and not just any property or investments.

Poverty have been a major cause of lack of insurance in most underdeveloped countries because not every one can afford the cost of insurance and not every one that have properties worth insuring.
