Lol, the fact that you aren't ever going to visit those places or that you aren't affected by the problem doesn't mean that it does not exist, and that is what you claimed in your OP, that everything is fine. Mind you that when they say there is a food or hunger crisis, it does not mean that everyone in the world is suddenly hungry, it simply means that the number of hungry people prolly increased or the cost of buying food became higher and many people can't afford a sufficient quantity for themselves. Remember that due to the pandemic there was an increase in unemployment, coupled with increase in prices of commodities, now imagine people who were poor prior to the pandemic, surely things have grown worse for them.

I am afraid that is not the challenge OP is facing in educating his pals, of course Bitcoin is popular and many people have prolly heard about it, but the thing is, can they use it, do they know how best to use it without losing funds, do they know the safest wallet to use or what the security measures to be taken are. The discussion here isn't about investing, trading, or making money from Bitcoin and crypto, it is about passing the necessary knowledge on to ones friends and family, and you have to accept that it is difficult to do, there are quite a lot of erroneous perspectives about the network one must change in people's minds if they are to learn, though it has already been stated that you can exempt them from the technical aspects and just teach them the basics, without necessarily talking about how to make money in the beginning.

I don't think El Salvador have invested in bitcoin to attract tourists, if you want to attract tourists i guess it is your enviroment you must work on and beautify; and tbh i don't know how Bitcoin can possibly attract tourists to a particular country, popular tourist/most visited countries like France, Spain, USA etc, have zero or no affiliation with Bitcoin, especially in the aspect of it being a legal tender, yet millions of people go there every year. Having said that, the people that visit El Salvador do it for other reasons than Bitcoin, Bitcoin isn't widely accepted but there are one or two places one can spend them in their own country instead of travelling to El Salvador to do so. El Salvador have invested in Bitcoin so they can prolly make ROI in the long run.

Yeah, a similar thing happened in my country too, there is currently a ban by the CBN that banks should not process or facilitate transactions that are related to cryptocurrency, direct from crypto exchanges. Having said that, since that very ban here, nothing much has changed, it hasn't reduced or affected the number of people that use crypto. We can't compel the banks to act in our favor cause we are crypto enthusiasts, good thing is we already know they can come up with changes like this spontaneously, but there will be alternatives, and nothing much will change in Portugal as a result of this.

Yeah, and when it is created, it has an actual utility, one of which is that it is money/currency that can be effectively used as a medium of exchange, but this very money isn't physical, it is spent online/digitally, that is why it is a digital currency. You prolly do not know about Bitcoin's usefulness, you don't know it is a currency/money, that is why you are confused. Having said that, in summary, i think we can call it a computer program that produces a digital currency that can be spent where accepted.

Arsenal have been brilliant in pre-season friendlies, thus quite a lot of people will predict this game in their favor, including myself too, though the actual competitive league/game is quite different from friendlies, but i don't think Crystal Palace can upset Arsenal in this game today. The time has come for us to watch all Arsenal's new players in competitive action, especially Gabriel Jesus who arrived from City, Arsenal fans are backing him up to do special things for the club, and he has chance to start on a high.

My prediction for this game is Arsenal 3 v Palace 1.

Na wetin we all they pray for oh, and na just matter of time sha, wetin go be go be, na my believe be that. Having said that, you dy do well for our local thread, you they active cause i they see your posts here, just that some of us they active pass you , as i jump enter third, i know say some people no go gree me near that position again, them go knock me down this month, lol.

Well, what matters most is that we keep this up, and not just posting, but quality post, abeg make we no bring discussions wey no too make sense they talk here, make everything just they go like this, if you get better questions you drop am here, men they on ground, we suppose know the kind discussions wey make sense to talk about here, i greet all of una, chop life and be happy.

I can't disagree with you that Ronaldo will not start for Manchester United against Brighton this weekend, as a matter of fact i don't think he will even play, he'll prolly not be in the match squad, but we will see. Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't trained too much with the team, remember he wasn't part of their pre-season games, and the last game he played was only about 45 minutes, so Ronaldo imo is far from full match fitness, even Erik will know that, and as a strict boss that he is, he will know Ronaldo can't be involved this weekend.

Having said that, i don't think Ronaldo will leave this summer, he wants to leave, but who wants to buy him? I haven't seen any team that look interested yet, Manchester United have kept on saying they do not want to sell him, but even if they change their mind and agree on him leaving the club, where's the team that will take him. Ronaldo should prolly come to reality and forget about an exit and concentrate on the season ahead of him.

Tbh, Sevilla or Real Betis can't win the laliga this season, the top three teams are much stronger than they are, giving them absolutely no chance of being laliga champions. Having said that, i think Barcelona are now strong enough to compete for the laliga title again, it was an easy ride for Real Madrid last season, but it'll not be so this season, with the acquisition of Lewandowski, Kounde, Raphinha, etc, Barcelona are ready to challenge for the title and prolly even go far in the CL.

You no lie oh, i no know if i go fit ever carry first, cause the senior men them wey they my front so ehn, them gallant wella for this thread and i commend them no be small. Having said that, me i no go lie oh, this our local thread come they sweet well well pass before oh, na so so quality discussions and topics they pop up everyday and na so everybody they drop their own contribution wey make sense wella. Make we just continue this way, soon e no go be local thread again oh, e go be local board. I comot cap greet you Mr uchegod21 and everybody wey they active for here too.

Way too much in my opinion as well, City were the ones initially interested, but they basically just walked away when it became certain that Brighton were just out to make real money from their star man, sticking with that £50m asking price, tbh, i see no reason why Cucurella should cost that much, he hasn't done too much for s sustained period/for many seasons, i know we have a crazy transfer window in football now, and i guess it is what it is.

Having said that, Chelsea are ready to pay the asking price, so i am pretty sure they will get their man very soon, for City they will have to look elsewhere for another left back, or stick with playing Joao Cancelo in that position, and prolly promote one of the academy boys for backup, Nathan Ake can also play in that position, so they didn't miss out on too much.

Did City really say that, i am not aware of it anyway, but the thing is this, clubs usually sell players if they are offered something they really can't reject, and if the player is willing to leave too, now which team will be willing to offer City the kind of money that will not make them think twice about selling Bernado, definitely Barcelona cannot, they have spent quite a lot of money already this summer, another marquee signing will prolly put them in trouble.

Having said that, City should not have any reason to even sell Bernado, he is a regular in the team and his contributions are second to none, i actually think if they are to sell someone from their midfield it should be Gundogan, though he won't leave for too much money; City should put all of this news surrounding Bernado Silva to bed and focus on the season, they already started poorly against Liverpool last week, so they won't want too much things distracting them right now.

Well done igehhh for last month's update/chart, i am happy we were very active last month, more of the same mates, i hope this month will even be better with more quality posts in our local thread. I can see that i climbed a few places up from the month of June in number of posts on our thread, let's see about August. Cheers Igehhh and every active Nigerian.

It is never too late, so no regrets, the information available on bitcointalk can be found by any person whenever they join, the topics might have been buried by newer ones, but you can simply resurrect them by searching for it and studying what you seek. Some knowledgeable users might have left the forum before you joined, and some more will leave before others join in the future, sadly they will not be able to impact positively going forward, but whatever information they have made available can be found by searching; i somewhat like the idea that even if i leave the forum, what i post will still remain, and will be available to all, even guests, it is a great feeling.

There are no questions as to whether Ronaldo would act like a professional that he is, i know he usually has this tantrums when things aren't going his way, but i am pretty sure he will know what it means to be bound to a team by contract, he is a big player and a United great, he would not want to spoil all that by getting on the club's nerves, or forcing them to fine him, yes he wants to leave, but it will have to follow a process, as all parties want to make sure that they do not fall in the receiving end of things.

Ronaldo's stance that he wanta to leave still remains the same i think, at least that was what i heard on Sky Sports news, and United are also maintaining their position that they aren't selling him, what i actually find funny is how all of this is dragging on and the league starts in a couple of days, and Manchester United do not look ready at all, there is so much going on with Ronaldo and Frankie De Jong, the distraction is really crazy tbh. I can't wait to see if Ronaldo will be available for Manchester United when they play Brighton at the weekend

Well there are quite a lot of reasons why you shouldn't ask people to help you choose a coin to invest in, more often than not they will advise you to buy coins that they themselves are hodling, please do your own research and make up your mind, i see this request of yours as being unnecessary and also risky to you. Having said that, remember that short term coins are quite risky projects to invest in, you might be lucky, and you also could be unlucky, eliminate the feeling of coming into the network to get rich quick, so you will not be mad at yourself when things do not go as you planned.

You are not following your own advice, look at your post history, all you have there is bounty reports, even after you made this post you went right back into the bounty section of the forum, i am surprised as to the the fact that you are aware there are much better things to gain in the forum than bounties, but you just can't stop it. Well it remains your decision, but at least if you must advise others, you should start by being that 'change' yourself.

I know say we get undergraduates for here, i believe say una don hear the news, ASUU hold meeting today and them don reach agreement say the strike go continue indefinitely, this new week wey we enter so go make am two weeks now since Mr President give minister of education order say make the baba end the strike in two weeks, i see no sense in that though, instead of Mr President to attend to the demands of the union, the baba they give order to minister to end the strike, how is the minister going to make it possible, it just shows lack of desire and interest on the part of our government to do anything about this industrial action by ASUU even after many months of students sitting at home.

Wetin una think about this matter so, you believe say this strike fit reach next year, abi our government no go like make students they for house as election they approach as e no go too speak well about yeye APC, as for our undergraduates here, how the strike take they affect you, abi most of una don put hand into other businesses, so tey una no even care about ASUU wahala again.

If i were Timo Werner, i'd definitely not go to Real Madrid, but it is up to him anyway. Why would he decide to a move to a team where his playing time will be very much limited, he is still very young (26 years), and even if things didn't go too well for him at Chelsea, he still has a promising career ahead of him, all he has to do is work harder and be more focused, and most importantly, he has to go to a team that he will be a starter/regular.

Having said that, i doubt that any big team will sign Werner for now as their main striker, that is why i think Madrid is a bad move for him, as he can't displace Benzema, thus Werner might have to move to a smaller team, but that is not a bad move, previously we've seen players who lost their confidence move to smaller teams, performed excellently well and then moved back to a big team; thus Werner can take a shot at that, what matters now is for him to start playing and start performing too, if he can start doing that consistently, then big teams will approach him again.

Well, i actually do not think City were unlucky, Liverpool were obviously the better side and they deserved the victory that they got, but i am pretty sure Pep and his boys would not think about this one too much, they will just take it as a mere pre-season game, shake off the loss and go about their business of winning games in the EPL, when it starts this weekend.

Haaland had about three good chances to score that day, but he could not just stick the ball in the net, i know he will feel a little bit bad and it might affect his confidence a little because two of those chances were pretty much him and a gaping goal, so it was even harder to miss than score, well the City camp know how to get their groove back, so i am pretty sure Pep and the team will help Haaland forget about that day and focus on more important titles and games coming up. City still remain my favorite to win the league this season.
