Good to have Philipma1957 write here. I have not been privileged to go through your profile if not that _act_ called my attention to you.
Also good to know that you have shared relationship with DannyHamilton in the forum for some times.

franky1 has a very interesting take on the LN network he could be correct he could be wrong.  I read all his points and decided to be more diverse than being a BTC purist ,

Thus my partner and I mine BTC,ETH,LTC/Doge.

franky1 has pushed that BTC is more of a POW/POS coin due to the LN network this is a solid observation and I agree with it. But unlike franky1 I do not know if it will kill off btc down the road.
Whenever I read Franky1 statements they are always interesting to me no matter what angle it is hitting me. Whether I have to agree with him or not, his talks are always logical though could be centred sometimes.

He is of the opinion that anything that is done off blockchain is centralized and therefore LN is centralized and does not truly represent bitcoin. It is interesting to read but difficult to believe because many people believe otherwise.

For Inter they have difficult situation because they have to do away match on Anfield and so far Liverpool very strong at there and many teams admitted Anfield as the stadium with the best atmosphere because the fans are very fanatical about Liverpool and maybe some people still remember that Barcelona just can't win there and the situation will not so different that this match will belongs to Liverpool

Its always difficult to win Liverpool at home, the support they receive from fans is a huge boost for them.
Well, i don't think Inter Milan can do much harm to Liverpool at Anfield because they are really good playing home matches plus with the number of quality players they have inter milan don't stand a chance against them.
Coming to get a victory in Anfield is a complete nightmare for Inter Milan and every other club in the world. On a normal day it is a difficult task for clubs, let alone now that many circumstances are surrounding it .
Circumstances as the excellent form of Liverpool, also circumstances as the good players Liverpool is parading now, circumstances of Anfield and the fans therein and finally circumstances as 2goals down. So, it is near impossible for Inter Milan.

I also think that all is not lost for Sevilla and even if they fail to take the title of champion this season, the second place is also a very good result for the team
Yes. The second place is more than enough for Sevilla. We must admit that they are not one of the biggest teams in La Liga. Sevilla can finish better than Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, it must be very appreciated. No one can predict Sevilla to be 2nd place in La Liga at the beginning of this season, it is very surprising that they are now in the runner-up place. Sevilla only needs to maintain their current position, no need to force luck of getting the title.

This is football, anything is possible. I cannot tell Sevilla to be relaxed with second place. Sevilla deserve the first slot. If Barcelona and ATM are struggling to be in top 4 shows that many things happened in the league this season. So Sevilla winning the league will part of the joy. They should remain focused, who knows if real Madrid can make some expensive mistakes and Sevilla will emerge.
I also think the the europa league is more important for Sevilla because they know how to win that title very well. This is surely a good season for Sevilla.
2204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: March 05, 2022, 10:34:46 AM
From today's matches, in my opinion, Liverpool - West Ham promise to be the most interesting. The hosts are in great shape and they will be fighting Man City for the England championship to the end of the season. West Ham dreams of promotion to the Champions League all the time. I hope for an interesting game and I bet Liverpool will win.
While Liverpool will be praying and waiting for Manchester United to do a magic of winning Manchester City or atleast draw them, they will not miss the opportunity to convincingly win Westham United. They will surely win Westham United no matter how stubborn they will like to be.
From the start of the season Westham was so good and they tried to take it to this point but at this time they need to decide to be more focused on europa league or focus on England Premier league. It will be difficult to achieve both.
2205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 05, 2022, 10:17:10 AM
Today's match at the top of the Bundesliga Bayern Munich - Bayer Leverkusen promises to be very interesting. The hosts are the favorites of course, but I would not exclude Bayer's chances in this match. Both teams sometimes play an outstanding match, as well as lose against a much weaker opponent. The fact is that a lot of goals are scored in the matches of these teams and I think it will be the same today. My bet is over 3.5 goals
It will be interesting because both teams are at the very top and both teams are in good form, infact Leverkusen is in a better form than Munich. Then the two teams have been scoring decent goals recently, we are therefore expecting an interesting match with good number of goals.
Bayern Munich has champions league and are believing that they have won the local title, so they may be too relaxed and loose the match. We never can tell, let us watch out.
2206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 05, 2022, 10:03:11 AM
From today's Serie A games, the AS Roma-Atalanta match looks to be the most interesting. Both teams represent a similar level and will probably fight for promotion to the Champions League until the last matches of the season. I do not see a clear favorite in this match, so I bet on a draw.
A very interesting match to watch. Jose Mourinho's boys have been decent for some weeks now, having recorded 3 wins and 3 draws in the recent fixtures. In terms of team form, Roma is far higher in form than Atlanta but yet Atlanta is ahead of Roma.
I am seeing the weight of the match more in favour of Roma, so Roma is supposed to score atleast 2 goals. But Atlanta is a stubborn side who can still equalize the 2 goals. So the best bet is to stake over 2.5 goals because it is possible to see 2:2 scoreline.
2207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 04, 2022, 12:48:03 PM
Dortmund are a good team in the Bundesliga, but they are not much better than Bayern Munich. They are still struggling to match the game from Bayern Munich. Now that they are 8 points adrift of Bayern Munich at the top, I see the race for the title has ended a bit here. If you expect Bayern Munich to slip, I think that's a very difficult thing to happen.
It is very difficult for Dourmund to catch up with Bayern who are already 8 points adrift, even though Bayern are still competing in the champions league, but it is very difficult to say Bayern can slip in their domestic league, even though at this time Dourtmoud is no longer participating in any event, and can focus fully on their domestic league, but also very difficult for dourmond to lift their domestic league title, Bayern are too tough, and difficult to move Bayern from the top position.
In football nothing is difficult and nothing is impossible. I learnt this lesson years back in the Champions League when Barcelona came from either 4:0 first leg against psg and qualified and also Liverpool did same to Barcelona even when Barcelona was madly in form.
I can only consider it to be difficult because Dortmund need to be consistent first their own and then pray that Bayern Munich becomes inconsistent to give them the desired chance of catching up with the league title.
2208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: March 04, 2022, 12:40:46 PM
Most people are waiting for the huge match between Manchester City and Manchester United in Etihad. And obviously, Manchester City are very close to winning this match. Manchester United are clearly not a team that are even close to their level now. In fact, Manchester United have very great players in terms of scoring and this team must be able to fight for the championship normally. But here we are and they are a desperate team that can't even beat Watford in Old Trafford. Considering that, Manchester City wouldn't have big trouble here.
You got me laughing here Grin
But that is as bad as Manchester United used to be, but when it comes to Manchester Derby, they will play it with all their might. Manchester United does not need to take that match lightly. In as much as Manchester City is fighting to win the league, I believe Manchester United has a greater fight to secure their top 4 space.
So, if it is in the heart of the fans and the coach, Manchester United will win the match. But the players think and play different thing from what was agreed.
2209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Impact of Ukrain Bitcoin Donation and Support. on: March 04, 2022, 10:18:30 AM
Not sure that I would call it adoption but it surely gave Bitcoin A LOT of publicity in terms of being a currency/asset that requires zero permission. It's just unfortunate that a lot of people had to realize it only when in times like this — like they had to literally see it with their own eyes instead of just realizing it through studying it.
It should confidently be called an adoption. A government cannot officially release an address for donation for what they did not adopt. The adoption must not necessarily follow due process. Perilous times necessitates innovation. So, no matter the process of adoption, it is an adoption. A government that has received help from cryptocurrency can never, I repeat, can never have the guts to punish her citizens for involving in crypto.

@CryptopreneurBrainboss, Igehhh, BIT-BENDER, uchegod-21, Wiwo, Maestro75 and other actives posters, I think we need to draft out our local rules which can still be unofficial, but later official to stop this aggression of anti official language and also avoid underground politics. Just a suggestion which I think should be imminent and let us indicate the languages we voted for there which are English, Pigdin and local languages. I hate to see a newbie that has never offered any good contribution come here to bring up what is not helping our local board than what has be solved before. If this kind of thing is happening in the main board, we all know what established members will do about it.
No vex baba Charles, na small small. The idea to get unofficial rules go well and e go help us for here. But I go like make the rules come later, maybe when dem don approve our local board. If we make some kind rules now, e fit discourage participation from newbies or others wey no gbadu the rules. Make we find wey dey manager one another for now. Even BIT-BENDER don talk something like that.
...we need cooperation as strong as possible if we are to ever get this much needed local board. Then after we get it then we go for restructuring and Management I strongly believe that we go get am las Las.
2211  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum whales bullish on Shiba Inu price on: March 04, 2022, 12:09:28 AM
Whether bullish or not Shiba Inu is the type of altcoin that I'm ready to take a risk on I believe it's worth it for the long term or short term, this project has easily accomplished what many big projects can't, if the bear market comes I will gladly buy even more for a cheap price.

If the whales are doing it why should I not follow them, we are supposed to monitor what the rich are doing and follow their path to success. When Elon musk started showing interest in Dogecoin, those who followed are high in profit but late comers are not. The Whale are buying when the price is down, if you have interest in the project you should do the same.
But do not gamble what you will not be okay losing, those millions you see the whale investing is nothing because they have billions. Gamble the little you can and take profit when the gains comes.
Oh! A very good advice from you. I call them the big boys, when the big boys enter market you allow them to show their strength. They will normally drag the market down to grab liquidity, in the process they will shake off the weak hands. That is to say, many peoples stop loss will be hit. As a wise trader you should not contest with them, allow them to show their strength and when the market begin to rise, follow the big boys.

4. Most active posters

Top-200 most active forum posters:

Code:
1. ChartBuddy [708]
2. franky1 [500]
Thank you for quoting this statistics. I am not surprised to see Franky1 as the number two highest contributor. He is tireless in contributing in anything concerning bitcoin.

Franky1 gets more shit than he deserves IMO.  I get that he has very loud, contrary opinions on matters but I've never viewed his posts as trolling nor him as a troll.
Tbh, I have never seen him as a troll or something related to that. But what I am sure is that he sees everything in a different direction from where others see. And he has the will power to convince or confuse anyone to believe him. It can be that his power of opposition is what is seen as troll by many people.

Good thread, OP.  There are a lot of under-recognized members here and old-timers who've stuck around for years that deserve some recognition.  Too bad Vod isn't here anymore.  He did a lot of good for the forum for a long time.
[/quote]
Thank you for you input. You also is a big fish. I have heard of Vod in BtcTalkShow where they asked who among some listed users can return to the forum and they said it is Vod. That others like Lauda cannot return to the forum because they were blocked as they left.
2213  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria (Naija) on: March 03, 2022, 10:44:27 PM
All we need are quality posts, increase activities, oneness and never against each other but allow freedom to exist here. Pigdin people should post and people that sabi English should post.
True talk, these qualities you list here na the coco for we growth here. If we get divided opinions and beliefs e go divide us the more. Make we continue as we dey do, increase activities and qualities. One day the goodnews go break.
One core values we need to imbibe in ourselves ow is cooperation make we no let any division, I personally feel English is our formal language so if anyone prefers it, then fine guys we get alot of miles to go we no need division, we need cooperation as strong as possible if we are to ever get this much needed local board. Then after we get it then we go for restructuring and Management I strongly believe that we go get am las Las.
True talk Boss Bender, na for this talk you and Charles talk I stand, the talk too genuine and if we stand on these talks dem we go go far for here. If na quality we go do our best, if na for activity we dey too. Make God bless una for me abeg.
2214  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria (Naija) on: March 03, 2022, 05:52:12 PM



What we need na activities and quality posts regardless of the language used, stop to dey focus on what is not. Accepted languages na English, Pidgin and local languages. Make you stop bringing this up again and again after statistical conclusion that favoured all languages for Nigeria. I will not post about this again except when dey necessary, we all know what is officially recognized.
No vex say de matta of language no gree enter under carpet. If you use elder eyes look the matter you go sabi say e no fit enter carpet. Anytime any new person enter here, the person go still bring the matta up. Even when me enter I talk about the mata too, before I come decide to follow up with wetin dey wen person reason me say the mata don dey settled.

For the translator wey you talk, na oyibo develop am. If you get opportunity to develop your own, I know say you go develop pidgin own. Them say na necessity na em dey bring innovation.

If you be content writer for ph and warri where your audience like pigin, you go write content for pigin too. Me I dey read content for pigin wela for BBC pigin.

So, as the matta be, if pigin dey hard anybody, make de person use correct English join but make majority try use pigin. According to Wiwo, e be like say language follow be we problem for getting our local board.

When I be member, I write post for beginners and help and interpret the post for pigin put for our board, many of us here no do like say dem see the post talk less of to appreciate the post. Na few people wey shake body. But na that kind thing we suppose to dey encourage for here shaa.

JayJuanGee
I think that JayJuanGee, franky1 and nullius are the one person
This is very far from the truth. They cannot be one person. They are different people entirely and can be from different countries.
DannyHamilton is very knowledgeable. He is the type who can confuse you with his technical know-how and the way he explains things. He often writes lengthy walls of texts, but they are posts that are interesting to read.

He can convince and confuse the readers with his technical know-how. I enjoy reading his long wall whenever he does not agree with Franky1 in a particular topic. Whenever I see two of them clash, it will become more interesting to read and most times no one will end up to agree with the other, making you to think how controversial cryptocurrency can be.
I actually like them both, I had many merit sent to both of them and I had meaningful exchange with both.
This is true. You have had meaningful exchange of merits with both, especially JJG. And you also follow up Franky1, whenever he is explaining things in a controversial way, you chose to read alone and give merits  Grin
2216  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: African Proverbs in Pidgin on: March 02, 2022, 06:44:34 PM
Proverb: Animal wey Okpoko kill, the animal deaf.
Meaning: Okpoko na animal wey dey kill other small animals. But this animal dey make loud noise if em dey come. So, any animal wey Okpoko kill na deaf animal.
Dat proverb na basically "Ukpala (grasshopper) wey Okpoko (hornbill bird) kill, na deafness kill am. Nor vex sey I dey make correction here. I believe we dey here to learn. Your analysis na just transliteration too whereas e supposed be metaphorically. D meaning dey hidden inside wen you don advise somebodi on several times but dem nor listen and then something bad come happen to dem as dey nor take your advice.
Oga Mpa, wetin I go vex for na? Anybody wey dey claim know it all na program failure. I like this thread very wey. E dey give wisdom and inspiration. E for good say anybody wey drop proverb, anybody go fit chuck mouth to elaborate am.

Thank you for the reminder say the interpretation suppose dey for English, that means I have been doing it wrongly since. You know say some of us never Tey for here. Keep up the good work.

All of us dey talk one thing, but Charles and Igehh dey reason like say dem no dey dis we country. Dem dey talk like say dem get right base on wetin CBN put for book. Wen you Don fall victim na em you go know say the fight na between government and the people.
Me and my guys don make some dangerous waka for Ph to dodge police, based on say dem dey search people phone to check who get Binance or any other wallet for phone. Say dem ban crypto for Naija. Dem capitalise there suck people dry.
We go need to know say our government dey rape us everyday. The reality be say government no even understand wetin dem put for paper.

I have come across the name philipma1957 but I have never taken close look at the account. Then I have never seen or noticed El duderino_ in the forum.
I think you only want to talk about people that do not join signature campaign, but there are some other members which I will not mention yet because they join signature campaign but they are highly contributing to this forum.
Three of them not wearing signatures was a mere coincidence. Signature is not my criterion here. It was just as if I categorised them. The major factors that made them my first pick is what they have in common:
  • They are old in the forum
  • Their similar typing style (long text)
  • Their logical reasoning
It is correct, we have many iconic members I have already grouped in my bookmark. But I didn't bring them all at once to keep the topic short and also I didn't picture if the community will accept the post or it would turn controversial. I then decided to start with this.
2219  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria (Naija) on: March 02, 2022, 01:10:58 PM
As e dey be so me no even see any thing like ban of crypto for 9ja ooo because cryptocurrency activities still dey go on for here steadily, and most companies dey do promotion even on TV. Like Patricia and Luno.

Somebody don reason me this thing weh you talk na too offline say if na true say them ban cryptocurrency for Nigeria why then government deh allow crypto adverts on TV and radios. And I sense say sense deh the talk.

Crypto was not completely banned; the CBN simply prohibited banks from engaging in crypto-related operations in order to discourage crypto adoption, which they feared would render local banks and currencies useless. The CBN also tried to prevent Nigerians from engaging in crypto activities because crypto exchanges are centralized, and the owner can withdraw all coins at any time, and they did not want Nigerians to experience what MMM did to them a few years ago. They misinterpret bitcoin as a pyramid scheme.

Why CBN restrict cryptocurrency in Nigeria
Government dey play us double standard abeg. I don check that article na around the Bush dem dey beat. Forget am, na ban dem ban crypto for Naija, but as dem see say the people smart pass dem, dem wan come play double standard.
You no see betting, na discourage dem discourage but the company is still grow.
For crypto, dem even send their agents for p2p in order to catch people.
Just like twitter, as people come use vpn bycott the restrictions e come be like say government no dey serious.
Just be happy say technology don give us voice, this people for cripple all of us join.

Sorry for the bad experience you get for the company. This one na eye opener, anything you dey do with somebody, just try spell everything out for black and white. You fit no provide the money, but you provide the idea, you fit not provide any idea but you make leg waka. Every effort deserve reward. Incase next time, even if the person tell you say no need to document am, just back out, if this life no show you sheggea, you no go understand. And for our country, e be like say good people wey remain don dey join bad people finish.
