Igehh you have done good for this over view. The people in unofficial Nigerian Local Board are doing well and contributing very well. But I notice something in the board, there are good posts that are not merited. But when I visit other people's Board I will see the rain of merits. Is like that there is unfair distribution.
I don't know how you get your data. For you to be correct, don't use assumption to include people. Include only the people that use to post on the Nigerian Local Board thread.

Although bitcoin and ethereum seem similar to me, I believe that the older an asset is, the better it is to trust.
I don't see them being similar but if it's about being an investment, that could be it. About the latter, the older the asset is and they're more trustworthy. I agree in a sense that these are for those established cryptocurrencies, these two no doubt that they're established and old. But, there are also those old assets but they're no longer viable because they're too outdated ad there is no longer support from the community which has resulted them to be dry and forgotten by everyone and even its own market.
They both use the PoW protocol, so they have some similar features. But many people have said that there is some kind of centralization in ethereum. One other thing I like Ethereum for is that the system is innovative and gives room to changes that usher in new technology. But bitcoin is not dynamic, will be what is use to be, anyone that tries a hard fork will fault or tire the system.
2304  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Testament on: February 11, 2022, 11:47:50 PM
The proposals are always good but the implementation is not always a planned. Bitcoin works on trustless protocol, any attempt to trust the legal practitioners and include some kind of centralization, I don't like it.

I will give my keys to my next of kin. If I am not comfortable with that I will buy a save space in the bank where I will save my documents and keys inclusive and also tell my next of kin.

I can still use sig wit and make sure my next of kins need to save unanimously before a fund will move. I will run to Bitcoin anytime, I do not trust centralized systems.

Man Utd SHOULD beat Southampton because they spend far more money on players & pay much higher wages. As we all know though, football doesn’t work like that. Saints are in good form & Man Utd are in trouble. It seems lots of Man Utd players don’t work hard enough & put in too little effort. I really wouldn’t be surprised if Southampton win this one.

Yes, given the squad they have and the money they have spent they should be at least in top 4 by now but they are still at 6 but giving a performance like a team in bottom 5. Saints have the capability, players like Ward Prowse, Romeu, Armstrong who are in form and in other hand United have no one in form.  I also don't think they are working hard enough. I might watch this one if Rangnick pairs up Cavani and Ronaldo in this one, they link up pretty well and maybe that comes out as a solution for United.
How can you bench the only proper number nine( Edison cavani)you have in favour of kids like Marcus Rashford and Sancho that don't even know there real position, Rangnick should pair Cavani and Christiano Ronaldo with four midfenders behind them to give the team stability in midfield and defence then in the second half if need be change Ronaldo with Sancho or change cavani with Rashford.
Manchester united have so many England average players that are over hyped. They always see themselves as superior to this other clubs whenever they play them. For instance people like Rashford and Sancho, especially Rashford does not play anything for Manchester United again. He does not mark and sometimes trek in the pitch but media will keep protecting him. But if pogba or martial just misbehave small they will make the whole headline.

Real Madrid's most important player Benzema is still injured. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
Is he not yet confirmed whether will play or not? I can't remember what I have seen in the newspaper today; it was somewhat green AFAIK. He is likely to be missing the match against Villareal but will be playing the UCL. That's what I have read if I can remember correctly. Nevertheless, as I said above, though RMA will be missing Benzema if he doesn't play, still it will be a good day for Madrid; not for PSG  Cheesy
The last time I checked it seems that he has not been completely ruled out or cleared to play the game yet, however if he does no play then who will Ancelotti play in his place? Luka Jovic seems like the natural replacement to play in the absence of Benzema, however another option could be to play Isco instead, still Real Madrid has so many good players that even if the absence of Benzema will hit them it will not be as bad as to decide the game in favor of PSG.
No matter how many good players that are available to play for real Madrid against psg, if Benzema is not available the impact will be feel. Benzema is we known by Madrid and Madrid well known by Benzema. Let us just hope he will be fit, but if he is not fit till that time, Isco should come in for him to be the play maker and vanicious jnr will do the magical finishing. Madrid as a club knows how to play champions league.  I trust them.

The way people campaign for bitcoin differs from country to country. In some countries you don't need much sensitization because they are advance in civilization and has human right. But in some other countries, you have to be able to convince people that you are not a scammer or into ponzi scheme whenever you mention bitcoin to them. Then you still need to be careful and afraid of the government and their secret agents who always hunt for people that are into crypto.
2308  Economy / Reputation / [POEM/SONG] Congratulation to me for full member rank. on: February 11, 2022, 05:49:40 PM
I was happy when my rank turned from member to full member
To show my appreciation I decided to write a poem. As a choirmaster, I use the lyrics of the poem to compose a song in sofa notation. The title is BITCOIN IS LIBERTY . I will teach the song to my choir of 21. This peom/song is dedicated to Bitcointalk forum.


Solo
Do you remember, when Nakamoto came up with an idea. An idea to liberate the people, an idea to control your finance. Many took it for a fairy tale, under-rating  the power of blockchain. Time has proven that Satoshi was right.

Chorus:
O! Yes, liberty has come,
O! Yes, liberty has come,
The wind of bitcoin is blowing everywhere.

Verse one
We were over-taxed,
For a business we do not own,
We could not act, because we were vulnerable,
But today, bitcoin has brought liberty

Chorus:
O! Yes, liberty has come,
O! Yes, liberty has come,
The wind of bitcoin is blowing everywhere.

Verse two
We were extorted ,
Our income was been monitored,
We could not act, because we were vulnerable,
But today, bitcoin has brought liberty.

Tutti
Bitcoin has come,
Bitcoin is here,
Bitcoin will last,
Bitcoin has come to stay.






If you are a pianist, you can try the chorus with a piano.

AFCON has ended. The joy that I used to start AFCON was not the joy I use to end it. When Tunisia people eliminated Nigeria, I feel betrayed and very very disappointed and I lost interest in the match. But I was still watching some important matches. But in overall African football has improved very very well. Many good players have come out of Africa. I congratulate Mane and Salah for staying in the cup till finals because they were the face of the tournament.
2311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: February 09, 2022, 04:43:00 PM
We can say that Psg became the champion for this season. Psg is 13 points ahead of the nearest team. They don't lose matches easily anymore. They smashed Lille, which won the championship last year, this year. They won 5-1 away in the last match played. It is very difficult to stop Psg now. They will definitely win the championship with their players this season. They also have a chance to win the Champions League trophy. My guess for the second place is Marseille.
Stopping PSG from championship this season is impossible for the teams in ligue 1, now PSG have left their rivals quite far and it can be said that 99% of PSG will be able to win the Ligue 1 trophy in end season, for the championship ligue 1 maybe no one doubts that PSG can do it, but to win the Champions League is certainly a difficult thing in my opinion, because even though PSG are currently filled with star players, of course they will be up against the best big teams from other leagues in the europe.

The problem of PSG now is no longer the wining of the France ligue 1 title. Their problem which has always be their problem is the Champions League. This time around they have plenty good players who also have the idea or experience of Champions league but their major problem now is that they did not get easy draw. They have draw with people that are also very very hungry to win the Champions League and the people also have good players. I will watch that match with some cool drinks that day. Let the best win.
2312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage! on: February 09, 2022, 04:32:40 PM
Juventus have no chance of winning the Champions League title. That also testifies to the odds you get if they do manage to win the title. When Ronaldo was still playing there, they actually accomplished nothing, eliminated against Ajax and Lyon. Especially against Lyon was an embarrassment time. And now without Ronaldo it doesn't work at all. Admittedly, with a favorable draw you can go far without playing well.

I agree with that, Ronaldo was a very good player, but it was not possible to make this team champion alone. In order for a team to be a champion, every player must be successful, players who can score goals or pass well are not enough for this.
I think they have a much worse team this year compared to previous years. They didn't even lead their league
When you are lucky with draws you will go far in the tournament until you will get to the point where lucky will not work again because the remaining people are all good teams. Juventus will not win the champions league. This year champions league has many favourites and Juventus is not included in them.
When Ronaldo was in Juventus he did his best but his best did not win the champions league. As you said in the above, only one individual cannot do it, the whole teams must be good. Another important thing is the mentality of the coach. If the coach no get winning mentality, he cannot lift the champions league trophy.

I watched Zlatan's training video, he is a real warrior and beast. I don't know what kind of discipline he has, but I can guess that as a result of great discipline and perseverance, he makes a difference even at the age of forty. Today is Italy quarter cup match. Milan vs Lazio, will they be able to win this match? I guess the struggle will be good, but Milan is much stronger.

Most likely be a game of struggling between the club but I m perceiving draws among them and most likely be 2.2, Lazio will try their best to equalize the game due to overwhelmness of Milan at halftime.
Ibrahimovic is a great man and a wonder warrior. I use to watch his training skirts. He use to appear stronger everyday. But no matter the kind of discipline he has, I know that he cannot be able to cheat nature, when the time is come fully him will tire.
Even the match against Lazio, he will not be able to play the match because of Tendon injury.
2314  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: February 09, 2022, 04:10:30 PM
I would not really blame Manchester United for not winning the match they  played with Burnley.  Manchester United tried their best n the early hours of the match, they were dominating the game and they scored goals which was said to be offside and  a foul. Atleast  they made attempts to score goals but didn't count for them, that's to say their performance was not  really bad. I will be waiting  to watch  how  the next Match will be with Southampton this weekend .
But still Manchester United deserves to be criticized for not being able to maintain its performance despite winning quickly in the first half, moreover their opponent is only a team at the bottom of the standings, so, if we look at the difference in the quality of the players in the two team, of course Manchester should be able to win big in the game apart from the goal disallowed by the referee in my opinion.

I don't know if you understand that you are talking about Manchester United and not Watford United. Is it because Manchester united is no longer a club to be afraid of. Although I am a Chelsea fan but Manchester United is doing badly. Last week they could not win Middlesbrough and we say it was a mistake and this time around, they could not also win Burnley and we are still saying they are trying. What are they trying about and what is it to show that they are trying.

If I want to reference somebody, it means I want to give someone credit for his or her works. But if I give such credit and hide it so that the person I am giving the credit and others will not notice that I have given the author the credit. I think the reason for the credit is defeated. Giving someone credit should happen in a simple and straightforward manner.

"Cleaning Up Cryptocurrency" shows that cryptocurrency has being judged before the judgement. Anyways, let us keep the hope alive.
Yeah, I always get curious and even sometimes furious when all these narratives about bitcoin energy consumption. I sometimes feel all these are just a bid to destroy the reputation of bitcoin and have reason to keep it from soaring high, because we cannot compare the energy consumption of bitcoin and that of industrial energy consumption.
We are not denying the fact that bitcoin consumes energy. But my problem is why bitcoin energy consumption is always treated in isolation. While others are treated together and seen as normal, bitcoin is always singled out and treated as a menace.
It is because they want to drag the the reputation of bitcoin to zero and then they will kill bitcoin. But can they?
They cannot kill bitcoin. I know one day the last bitcoin will be mined and I will wait to hear their excuses again against bitcoin.

Another one is question about LoyceV and 10,000 merits. I can say that the question is not too correct.
From what I've seen, the question is correct. Hopefully it will no longer be correct when summer starts.
The question will be correct only when you fail it, the system will now tell you the correct answer by saying that merit Airdrop is not inclusive.
But in the main question, there is no indication of it.
"Which of these users exceeds 10,000merits" by this, whether it was through Airdrop or not, LoyceV has them.
