2241  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin terminologies and their challenges for newbies. on: June 08, 2023, 08:11:00 AM
Some of those confusing terms I can put now in my understanding of what they mean. I'm still learning.

Here's some additional information to expand your knowledge a bit...

1: Blockchain - This is a list of all blocks that have ever been listed. I see this as a bank statement of account.
In the beginning, when you're first trying to understand, it's probably fine for you to think of it as a bank statement of account.  As you learn more, you'll discover that what it stores and how it stores it is nothing at all like a bank statement of account. Don't let this initial understanding confuse you when you start to dig deeper. You'll need to unlearn some of the assumptions you've made.

2: Coinbase - The first transaction in each bitcoin block. I learnt also of Genesis block which is the ever first block by Satoshi.
This is one of several terms that seems to have multiple meanings depending on who you ask, as well as when and where they learned it. In many cases, "the first transaction in each block" is called a "generation transaction" (because it generates the new bitcoins that are entering the system) or a "block reward transaction" (because it is the transaction that pays the solo miner or mining pool their block reward).  In those cases, "coinbase" is the only a small portion of that transaction. Specifically, the portion that would be called "inputs" in the other standard transactions.

3: Cryptography - Secured techniques based on mathematical concepts. This is still not too clear to me completely.
Cryptography is the study of techniques for secure communication in the presence of adversarial behavior. There are many types of cryptography. Only some of them rely on mathematical concepts. Bitcoin relies on a few clever mathematical algorithms such as those commonly known as "hashing" and "digital signatures".

5: CEX (Centralized exchange) - A cryptocurrency exchange where people  trade cryptocurrency with middlemen involved. It is the opposite of Dex and those who trade there are exposed to loosing their coins if the Cex shuts down because they don't own keys to their bitcoin on the exchange.
That risk can be reduced (but not eliminated) by removing your funds from the CEX whenever you are not actively engaged in making an exchange of currencies.

6: Digital signature - This is something that can be attached to a message to show that the sender is the owner of the private key.
Correct.  It is a piece of data (essentially, a number) that is calculated by using the original message in a digital data form and the private key and a specific mathematical process.  Then providing a public key to anybody that might want to verify the signature.  Another mathematical process (a verification process) can be performed using the signature, the message, and the public key. That verification process can prove beyond any doubt that the only way that the signature could be created is with the specific private key that is associated with the given public key.

7: Private Key - This is a set of alphabets and numbers associated with wallets to show you are the right owner if you can produce them to claim the bitcoin in it.
The "alphabets and numbers" are just a convenient way (for computer programmers) to represent really big numbers.  In the case of Bitcoin's signature algorithm, the private key is actually just an integer. A really, really big integer. you don't "produce" the key to claim bitcoin. Instead, you use the key to generate a digital signature when you create a transaction.  That digital signature is then provided to demonstrate to every node on the bitcoin network that you are authorized to spend the specific bitcoins that you are attempting to spend.

8: Seedphrase - This is a set of words like a password to a wallet. I see it is also like a private key.
Just like a private key, this is also just a clever way to store a very big integer.  Really, really big numbers are difficult for humans to remember, and are prone to mistakes when humans attempt to write them down or type them.  The "seed phrase" is a way to convert a really big number into a set of words, and to convert that set of words back into the original really big number.  Once the seed phrase is converted back into the original number that it represents, there is a standardized process for generating a HUGE quantity of private keys from that one number.  So, as long as you have the phrase, and you have software that knows the standardized process for converting it back into a number and knows the standardized process for generating private keys from that starting number, you can always regenerate the exact same set of private keys.

9: Wallet address - This is a set of letters associated to a wallet that we give out to people to send Bitcoin to.
You may start to see a pattern in what I'm saying here...  That set of letters is just a convenient way to represent a very big integer.  In that very big number is all the information that a wallet software would need to be able to create a bitcoin transaction output script. It includes things like the public key (a pair of very large integers), a checksum (a number that software can use to determine if you mistyped the address), and a script type (a number that tells the wallet software what type of transaction to create).

10: Satoshi - Units of Bitcoin, just the way we have units of our local currencies in denominations.
Specifically, there are 100,000,000 satoshi units in 1 bitcoin unit. Some other units you might hear used are millibitcoin and microbitcoin. Here are some other conversions:
1,000 millibitcoin = 1 bitcoin
1,000 microbitcoin = 1 millibitcoin
1,000,000 microbitcoin = 1 bitcoin
100 satoshi = 1 microbitcoin
100,000 satoshi = 1 millibitcoin

11: Dust - Bitcoin transaction output with little value, like tiny Satoshis.
Bitcoin transactions have a certain minimum amount of bitcoins that are typically required to be paid per unit of size (vbytes) of the transaction. Dust is often used as a term to describe transaction amounts that would cost more in transaction fees to spend than they are worth.

So, for example, if the average cost in transaction fees to spend some received bitcoin is about 800 satoshis, and you receive a transaction with only 700 satoshis, then any attempt to spend those 700 satoshis will require you to pay ALL 700 of them to the transaction fees AND still come up with an extra 100 satoshis from somewhere else. This means that including those 700 satoshis in a transaction will not result in the recipient receiving any extra funds, and will just cost you even more money.  You come out ahead financially by just NEVER spending the 700 satoshis.

It'd be a bit like if I gave you a special coin worth $1, but the ONLY way you could ever spend that coin would be to pay an appraiser at the time of your transaction $100 to verify that the special coin is not counterfeit and is actually worth $1.  You'd be better off just tossing the coin in the trash than ever trying to spend it.

So, you are correct that "dust" is an output with little value. Specifically, many people use the term to describe outputs that effectively have negative value.

12: Fiat - This is the one that shocked me most. Until now I never knew the traditional currency I used in buying and selling is also called a fiat. This humbled me.
It's a word that's used to differentiate modern currencies which get their value from their relationship to the government that issues them from the older currencies which were backed by a physical quantity of something valuable such as gold.

Cryptocurrencies are neither.  They don't have a government that issues them, nor are they backed by anything physical that a holder can dependably exchange the currency for.

13: Bitcoin Halving - A preprogrammed of the bitcoin block subsidy, which occurs every 210,000 blocks. Some say it happens every four years also. A lot of people are talking about it here with excitement that it will happen in 2024.
Since blocks happen on average approximately every 10 minutes, 210,000 blocks mathematically works out to be just about 4 years. 210,000 blocks takes an average of about 2,100,000 minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so that's 35,000 hours. There ar 24 hours in a day, so that's 1458 (and a third) days. There are 365 (and a fourth) days per year, so that's 3.99 years (or just about 4 years).

There are many more of these confusing terms and I'm ready to acquire more of them with belief that they will become easier the more I read about bitcoin.
Feel free to ask about any terms you see that aren't clear. There are many people here that are willing to help. Be careful though about who you rely on for information. There's a lot of misinformation and people that will confidently state things that are entirely untrue.

I'm truly grateful to you for this breakdown of the terminologies that I listed. The way you explained it in very simple terms  makes it easy for even a layman to easily understand. I didn't imagine that there'd be so much technicalities involved in acquiring the knowledge of bitcoin, now I have a new and huge respect for people that trades on bitcoin, because of the level of intelligence required to master the technicalities and terminologies. I really love this forum, it's by far the most interactive and educative forum that I've ever been in, and what makes it more unique is because members are anonymous.
2242  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if they tried it on: June 07, 2023, 10:35:00 PM
Bitcoin differs from gold in that it cannot be easily seized by the government. Seizure by the government is only possible if you are utilizing a custodial wallet through a wallet authority. However, if you have been using a non-custodial wallet, your cryptocurrency cannot be seized. This is because cryptocurrencies are decentralized, and the government lacks control over them.

Decentralized nature of bitcoin makes it immune to centralized authorities to meddle into its wallet. I've come to appreciate and trust the concept of non custodial wallets in bitcoin, because it puts the holder in total control. So if any government decides to confiscate funds in any centralized exchange, bitcoin will not be affected. From my observation on this topic, members unanimously agrees to this fact.
2243  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Overcoming my fear of bitcoin and online businesses on: June 07, 2023, 12:48:23 PM
Here are some of the things that moved my decision to finally consider studying bitcoin now.

Number 1 : The first is I don't have to continue in the shadow of my fear and continue to run away from it. Fear is in the mind and no where else. I have to confront my mind to tackle this. As I'm doing this I also encourage anyone having fear of anything to confront it.

2: The second is that I get confused when people around me talked about Bitcoin. I envy them because I see them as intelligent and want to be like them. I also want to be seen as someone who is intelligent and can contribute my views to discussions.

3: Thirdly I want to learn how to trade Bitcoin and also get into other online investments.

Your motivation to learn about bitcoin is rooted in the right mindset. There is no financial gain at the beginning of course, we know that this would definitely come along if you stick long enough. When I first got into bitcoin I did it like a wounded warrior becasue I had first invested in altcoins with a wrong mindset of overnight success. But I had to start all over to learn about bitcoin after I also went homeless from the altcoin rug pull. I hope you share with us about your experiences with studying bitcoin.

I've learnt a lot about the volatility of bitcoin in this forum, and your advice and experience in altcoins has added to my knowledge about cryptocurrency in general. Bitcoin trading requires a beginner to learn it's technicalities and terminologies very well before starting, in order not to loose hard earned money. I've not started trading yet, I'm still receiving tutorials from senior members like you, and I'm grateful to you guys. So not much experience to share for now, hopefully when I start trading.
2244  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Scam de for p2p transactions? on: June 07, 2023, 11:45:14 AM
Well I have rarely used someone to trade if not of brainboss p2p service that we know very in this forum, then the next place i do trade p2p is on Binance exchange and they function as an escrow whereby when you confirmed that you have gotten alert before you could released their payment. With them it's very easy to eliminate being scammed while trading over there.

The worse place is dealing with people in a particular crypto group or telegram because such persons may only want you to send them the bitcoin without them sending you the required funds in fiat. So it's advisable to avoid such trade rather than used a trusted and reliable platform to trade, you can use brainboss services to exchange your bitcoin if you weren't comfortable with others.

I don understand say you no fit totally rule out the possibilities of scam for any money matter, sodiafo, bitcoin transactions no be exception. Na for person wey wan do any transaction to dey very careful make dem no do am wayo. Most members for dis our bitcointalk forum dey rate binance exchange well well, and you don also mention brainboss, so I go keep dat one for mind.

Secondly trust na very serious matter, because people wey you know fit scam you, talk less of di ones wey you no know. But we no fit comot di risk factor for business, so we must minimise di risk by doing business with people wey get good rating and reputation.
2245  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Scam de for p2p transactions? on: June 06, 2023, 02:28:27 PM
I understand say based on the ban wey CBN impose on banks,  say make dem no exchange naira for bitcoin, di traders of bitcoin, come dey exchange for p2p. So I foda understand say a buyer go pay money into di account of a seller and di seller go transfer the cryptocurrency into the buyer wallet. So my question be, what if the buyer pay money into di account of the seller, den di seller no come transfer the bitcoin into di buyer account, no be scam be dat? And as bitcoin de banned for Nigeria, how di person go seek for justice for the scam?

Dis question na from information wey I gather from unreliable source, na im make I say as I don enter reliable bitcoin forum, make I ask di question? Secondly e get any oda country wey dem government ban bitcoin wey dem de use dis p2p system?
2246  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Overcoming my fear of bitcoin and online businesses on: June 06, 2023, 01:17:47 PM
Your first choice is stepping out to confront that fear which eclipsed you in the past. That you've successfully done. The second part is to realize that those who quit don't win and those who later won never quit. Now that you're here, you should embrace learning like it will go out of fashion in the next minute. Read and learn to develop and resolve whatever nagging questions you think you've. Ask questions where necessary and don't be shy to do so. Before long you will also begin to sound high like those you envied before now. The last, and the most important, be vigilant while you're online. Even on this forum, be vigilant. Anyone who sends you a private chat or link or talks to you about business in private is obviously a scammer. Be warned.
Well said. It’s good that you finally realize on how to get out from your comfort zone and overcome your fears as being fearful will never make you successful at all. And knowing this forum is a blessing for you. Explore the forum as much as you can, and do your own diligence to research if that’s necessary to widen your understanding on the topics that you hardly understand. And never hesitate to raise questions that you think you need more answers and clarifications from other significant members. That way, you will keep on learning and soon others may also learn from you. And yes, be vigilant at all times. Even professionals in this forum are sometimes being taken advantage if they tend to be less cautious at some point.

Fear is our worst enemy when we want to explore new terrains. I guess that fear is a natural thing, and it all depends on how determined that we are to succeed that will subdue it in us. This forum is a great place to learn about bitcoin, and I'm not afraid or intimidated to ask questions. I've been cautioned about scammers, in this forum, and I have taken note of the advice. Generally in financial dealings or finance matters, one is supposed to be cautious to avoid being scammed.

6: Digital signature - This is something that can be attached to a message to show that the sender is the owner of the private key.

7: Private Key - This is a set of alphabets and numbers associated with wallets to show you are the right owner if you can produce them to claim the bitcoin in it.

8: Seedphrase - This is a set of words like a password to a wallet. I see it is also like a private key.

9: Wallet address - This is a set of letters associated to a wallet that we give out to people to send Bitcoin to.

A signature is proof of ownership of a private key, but the purpose of a digital signature really depends on the context, much like the hand-written signature on a contract or on a letter. For example, the purpose of me signing a message saying "I own the account odolvlobo" with the private key of a previously posted address would be to prove that I own the account, and not that I own the private key.

A private key in Bitcoin is a 256-bit number. It allows you to send bitcoins at the address associated with it. It can be encoded in the WIF format as a set of letters and numbers, but that is not what it is as that is just one way to write it.

A seed phrase (also called a recovery phrase) is not a password. It is the value used to generate all of the addresses and private keys used by a wallet. It should be kept secret like a private key, but it is not "like a private key" because it is not used like a private key.

When someone writes "wallet address", it make me wonder. Perhaps they mean an address in a wallet, but is there such thing as a non-wallet address? A wallet is not an address nor does it have an address. A wallet contains addresses (and their private keys). A wallet can contain one address or it can contain thousands of addresses. So, I would suggest avoiding the term "wallet address" and just using "wallet" or "address", depending on what it is.




I appreciate the corrections that you made. I'm all about learning at this stage in my bitcoin journey, and I welcome any advice, teachings, encouragements or criticism directed at me by members. They will surely energise me to became more focused in understanding bitcoin better. My goal is to master every technicalities and terminologies associated with bitcoin, as soon as possible, so I can have a smooth sailing in the trading of bitcoin.
2248  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoins for naija need prayer support on: June 05, 2023, 09:53:18 PM
Prayer de important for anything wey we de do for dis life, but sometimes after di prayer, tins go still de go wrong. So wetin I believe be say God, don give us wisdom, so e depend on everybodi to use im oun knowledge for good or bad. So whether naija government go unban bitcoin go depend on whether dem think say e go favor dem government and pocket or not.

But my observation so far  for dis discussion be say members no send if the government ban or unban bitcoin, because he no affect dem trading and profits. Also because of tax matter.
2249  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin terminologies and their challenges for newbies. on: June 05, 2023, 06:26:42 PM
Are we supposed to grade this?? You already have the resources of the forum and the endless possibilities of the internet at your disposal, what more do you need? Everything you listed and tried to explain are well explained in the link you provided, I really don’t see the need to repeat them. If you use the forum engine, you will find this thread has been extensively discussed.
That's a bit harsh, coming from you to someone who should be getting more encouragement from a more experienced member like you. We should show these new users kindness and direction especially when they're showing signs and efforts they're making to increase their crypto knowledge. For me, your comment there didn't sound supportive. Again, you may have mastered how to search stuff here but OP is just a noob who may not even know there's a search engine here. It took me over two years being here before I realized I could search stuff on this forum. Please, let's find a way of encouraging these new ones who are showing genuine interest to learn.

Thanks for your understanding, the journey to mastering bitcoin terminologies and techniques is not easy. If not for the fact that I've made up my mind and determined that I will do bitcoin business, I would have given up. I've come to understand that bitcoin discussions and trading requires a high level of intelligence, and new persons must study very well about it if they plans to succeed in it. Every encouragement and criticism makes me stronger and more determined to master bitcoin better.
2250  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin terminologies and their challenges for newbies. on: June 04, 2023, 07:30:25 PM
Before venturing into the learning of bitcoin, I used to think that it was just all about buying and selling bitcoin when the market is favorable. With my experience in buying and selling of physical goods, I thought that there was nothing that difficult to learn about bitcoin, that all I needed to do was just buy it and sell to make profit. Basically that is what it is, but joining bitcointalk has opened my eyes to see that there is more to trading bitcoin than just buying and selling.

The term "Newbie' in this forum has really humbled me to know that I have to do research, learn technicalities and terminologies of bitcoin first before I can start trading it. Otherwise the reality of failing and loosing my hard earned money is imminent.

I feel like I'm in an online course now studying about bitcoin. I see myself getting forced to learn the terminologies and complex nature of bitcoin if I have to succeed and I'm prepared to do so. Without understanding the terminologies of bitcoin, it will be very difficult for a newbie to contribute meaningfully in threads that discuss about bitcoin trading, because the newbie might continue to make a fool of himself in trying to contribute.

My first contact with Bitcoin here, terms like blockchain, cryptography, Coinbase, Dex, Cex, Fiat, Halving, Wallet, Private keys, Dust, Satoshi, etc used to confuse me. The person who introduced me to bitcoin told me something about the founder of bitcoin and gave a strange name that I almost immediately forgot until I came here and remembered what he mentioned was Satoshi Nakamoto. It is here that I started reading about Bitcoin anniversary and how someone bought pizzas with so much bitcoin that made my head swell.

I have been reading and learning online from  https://bitcoinmagazine.com/bitcoin-glossary and that is where most of my bitcoin knowledge come from in addition to this forum. I'm putting more time to staying online which is not my usual habit. Some of those confusing terms I can put now in my understanding of what they mean. I'm still learning.

1: Blockchain - This is a list of all blocks that have ever been listed. I see this as a bank statement of account.

2: Coinbase - The first transaction in each bitcoin block. I learnt also of Genesis block which is the ever first block by Satoshi.

3: Cryptography - Secured techniques based on mathematical concepts. This is still not too clear to me completely.

4: DEX (decentralized exchange) - A cryptocurrency exchange where people can trade cryptocurrency without a central company or middleman. The term middleman is popular in my type of business.

5: CEX (Centralized exchange) - A cryptocurrency exchange where people  trade cryptocurrency with middlemen involved. It is the opposite of Dex and those who trade there are exposed to loosing their coins if the Cex shuts down because they don't own keys to their bitcoin on the exchange.

6: Digital signature - This is something that can be attached to a message to show that the sender is the owner of the private key.

7: Private Key - This is a set of alphabets and numbers associated with wallets to show you are the right owner if you can produce them to claim the bitcoin in it.

2251  Economy / Economics / Re: I hear de-dollarsotaion over and over again it's funny on: June 04, 2023, 08:43:06 AM
Considering that I live in the Arabian Gulf, where the dollar is the currency used in conducting all commercial transactions for the sale of oil and natural gas, and perhaps it is the reason for the dollar being a global reserve currency or what is known as the petrodollar. interest rates without involving the countries that contribute to the globalization of the dollar, or at least taking into account the damage to their interests, and yet they do not want independent moves from OPEC.
unless the United States changes its foreign policies, I believe that more countries will be open to using more currencies in their monetary policies, and it may come to selling oil in local currencies.

I'm from Africa, and approximately 80% of our goods and service materials are imported from China. Despite the robust economy of China, African importers still uses USD for foreign exchange transactions with Chinese exporters. So it's amazing the strength and dominance of the dollar in international transactions. So it's reasonable that other countries will be trying to break this chain of USD dominance in international trades. But all the efforts towards this aim is yet to materialize.

2252  Economy / Economics / Re: The Role of Education in Financial Literacy on: June 03, 2023, 10:42:16 PM
but these days kids are getting education and at the same time they are earning with both the hands.
Kids are very smart these days. And many people who have intellegent mind are also learning so many skills.
This is the modern age and people are finding ways to earn in different ways.

It is still not about each and every. We are seeing most exciting examples and extrapolate it on everyone, but it doesn't work so. Some are more successful with what they have, some are less. Getting education just gives you more chances on being successful, but not guarantees that. Sometimes we can choose a wrong profession, which is not suitable for us, sometimes a profession can be or become outdated... Getting a financial education is good but it doesn't make everything by itself.

Truly education is basic but not a guarantee for financial success. And we can't take what works for others that it will work for us, so each individual has to make research and find what works for them. However getting financial education, whether formal or by experience is very important so that we can be able to manager our business and finance very effectively.

2254  Economy / Economics / Re: How to increase profit in business on: June 02, 2023, 09:11:51 PM
...///...,,,,

More customers equals more profit.

...


You have to be careful with that premise, more clients* more income, in any case I think that your vision is very limited to small businesses, and basically face-to-face, today you can make money offline and online at the same time. That in fact is already a consideration no matter what area you are in, if you have only one you should be or have a presence in one of the two, the incorporation will bring new clients and perhaps income.

(*) Businesses are complicated depending on which area is related, a friend who increased his clients in your transport company,  saw how costs increased and not profits.

The routes grew and he had to increase costs for new trucks and associated personnel, the growth of customers meant an increase in expenses that he could control but fortunately it took a couple of years to have associated profits.

The phrase 'more customers equals more profit', is working for me in my business. But as you have  explained, it's maybe because i run a small business, however it works for me. I take note about what you said about your friend in transportation business, it sometimes happen that in the cause of increasing your business, instead of profit to increase costs will increase. Sometimes businesses like his needs long term planing before the profits starts to pour in, just like it happened in his case. But all things being equal, either in the short or long term, with proper planing, the more customers that patronise your business the more profits you make
2255  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador President Hires Bitcoin Standard Author As Economic Advisor on: June 02, 2023, 05:44:54 PM
Seems like a very smart move to me. Ammous Is an extremely smart guy & it’s not like El Salvador is married to him, they can take him on in this advisory role to use his expertise. Hopefully it works out as a gery positive appointment but if not there is no problem to part ways. However, Ammous is likely to be a great attribute to the economy in ES.

Indeed Ammous, was appointed not elected, as you have noted, if his advisory role does not align with the President's visions, at anytime the appointment can be terminated. I wish him the very best in his appointment, also hoping that presidents of other countries would emulate El Salvador's president to appoint knowledgeable individuals in bitcoin, into their governments.

Whether we vote for the new government or not no matter now wey dem don swear them in. The only thing to do now na to join hand with dem in our own small ways to make the country better, by being law abiding and to do our work diligently. But sha, this fuel subsidy removal by the new president, at dis time no de favourable to the masses at all, long queues for filling stations with high prices, the effect go be inflation because e go cause prices of everything to go up, thereby devaluing the naira. Even though say we no need de subsidy, the president for first put measures in place so the people no go de suffer like this.

Even if you know more than everyone on this forum,  you're still a newbie in bitcointalk, therefore being new here requires that you humble yourself. Find out if some people on this forum knows better about what you want to mentor concerning bitcoin and how they go about it. With all due respect I say that you sound arrogant in your threads and if I'm looking for someone to mentor me, I doubt that it will be you.

I'm sure everyone now seems to believe and agree that the best service provided by resellers or sellers will make customers come back to your store. I believe this is one technique that every seller needs to implement if they want to have repeat customers. I can take one example; a clothing store will have loyal customers who will return to shop at the store if the seller is friendly and serves his customers well.

Good service will keep your chances good to generate stable turnover every month. There are several stores that can adopt promo or discount strategy, it really depends on the type of goods you sell. But of course the best service is the most important.
I am sure that first of all you need to provide high quality products if you are a manufacturer, in this case, if you have a wholesale. But if you are a retailer, then you absolutely need to maintain a high customer service and also ensure that the quality of the products is at a high level, because the best service will not help you if the customers will complain about poor quality. You can also think about increasing the range, and preferably high-margin products.

Personally I store different qualities of products brands, so when a customer asks for a brand and cannot afford to pay for it, I'll show another brand that is within the range that the customer can afford. Although I make sure that the customer understands the quality differences and allow him to make the choice of buying what he can afford or come back another day to purchase the other brand.

So in essence a retailer can sample high and low qualities of a particular type of product by different manufacturers, so that customers can decide on the quality that they want. Most times the choice of the product to buy depends on the purchasing power of the customer. But it is very important for the seller to be sincere and let the customer know the different qualities of the type of product that he wants to buy.

Lastly to maximize profit in business, the seller needs to stock more of the products that sells more. So far the customer is aware of the quality that he's buying.
