2341  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How not having money helped my Bitcoin journey on: April 14, 2023, 10:56:16 AM
Sometimes having no money for a start up can actually be a blessing in disguise. Maybe there are some things that you are ought to learn which have not really done hence you will need to do them to learn and get the experience so that you can control or handle them well when it starts coming in. All these put together are the supposed experience one needs before going into a particular activity.  For instance before an organization put up notice for vacancy, there must be some terms and conditions to fulfill before you think of applying for the position that is same applicable to life principles just as OP has said. All the years you took time to get prepared for the journey ahead and now you are reaping the fruit of your labor. Those techniques you learnt I believe are helping you now to forge ahead.
So therefore, no experience is a waste of time.
2342  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: IF ONLY EVERYONE CAN EASILY ACCEPT CRYPTO on: April 14, 2023, 10:37:25 AM
Don't mix Bitcoin with crypto aka shitcoins.
This is why Bitcoin is better than banking system, it's faster and transparent, there's no hide or secret fee if you want to send a coins. Government will not want to accept Bitcoin as a currency because people might tend to choose Bitcoin over their fiat and banks, if not many people use fiat and banks, the government will not make a lot money and many banks will collapse.

Mate, OP was not wrong in calling them Crypto currency. Bitcoin is still under the Crypto currency classification and it is a blockchain on its own while shitcoins just as you have said are the altcoin or tokens that liverages on other blockchain to sustain their scalability.

No doubt bitcoin is the most popular Crypto currency in the world and has gained traction for itself since it's inception. However, bitcoin and Fiat are unique in their own ways so therefore, non of them can be sidelined to function in the capacity of the others with the rate of the current situation of their existence.

Fiat globally is the government number one recognized legal tender approved by them but bitcoin is a digital asset yet to be recognized and approved by most of the government globally for the fear of their local fiat being neglected. The fears of the government are too many to accept bitcoin in place of their currency digitally.
2343  Economy / Gambling / Re: justbit.io asking me for KYC although their site explicitly states no KYC on: April 14, 2023, 10:15:02 AM
A gambling site can state that you do not need to provide KYC before you can withdraw, but know that it would also be stated that they can ask for KYC at anytime. Those gamblings sites are centralized, because they do not require KYC for withdraw do not mean they can not request for KYC at anytime.

It requires KYC.

https://justbit.io/pl/policy/payment

Quote
2. To withdraw funds from the account, the user is required to complete identity verification through kyc procedure at his user’s account. justbit reserves the right to check user’s identity and source of deposited funds prior to processing payouts and to hold withdrawals for the time needed to check the user’s identity. in case of false personal data provided by the user, the withdrawal can be denied and the user account can be cancelled. the user will be informed thereof by email noted at his/her user’s account.

It was obviously clear that OP did not read the terms and conditions before engaging with the casino. These are the common problems with most gamblers, they fail to take out time to read rules and guidelines governing a casino just because of the bonus at the  first instance so they hurrily do get registered targeting  to get the bonus forgetting that every platform have their terms of engagement. Their memory forget to tell them about reading the company policies before making deposit as that should be the next line of thought upon any gambler wanting to make deposit  into his or her casino wallet address on their dashboard.

Another issue I seem to understand is that people do not ask questions to under after they must have read through a policy not clear with them. They just assume that they are ok with it and forgetting that what they have read has a legal backing and as a matter of fact, it is a clause ready to hold them down but out of ignorance, they fail to understand that there must be a reason for that clause and fail to come here for questioning the various representatives of the casinos they want to engage with to get clarity before engaging them with their funds.

Please OP, screenshots of your chat with him would be much better

Also include proof of payment (The 2 BTC that you sent to him) and also proof that he used a Google Translate service. I will add negative feedback and a trust flag to his profile if everything check out

I see NetkaJoon was online today, and they even edited the ANN (Deleted) the information, which makes me think the person might be guilty and is trying to hide some evidence

I have worked as a CM in Korea for the past 5 years, and I am also an unofficial member of a marketing agency. So far, I have managed more than 60 projects and maintained good relationships with clients (I have reference letters)

Currently, I'm working with 5 other Koreans, and 24/7 management is possible if necessary.

I can manage the global community and have experience with it, but it's not my area of ​​expertise.

I also run a Korean crypto channel with over 42k subscribers. By introducing the project on this channel, and interested people join the project community, I can easily and organically help the Korean local community grow.

If you are interested, please contact me on Telegram - https://t.me/Thewire2 or Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/koreanmarketing/

Thank you.

This you have advised is the best thing OP should have done. Giving evidence and facts to back the accusations irrespective of what the accused have done, it is more to back up your claims with evidence so as not to cast doubt in your side for not fulfilling his own part. Without evidence one would think OP is not genuine and must have been paid for such act which in the real sense is not so but it has been ops experience with the accused.
I think after seeing this accusations placed on his created thread he should have responded to it to clear the doubt and free his name from the accusations but no response yet. Seems and looks fishy though.
2345  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: No b to rush enter tech nah to choose beta tech skil b d mata on: April 13, 2023, 10:37:09 PM
Absolutely, you made a nice point. Skilling up is the ultimate goal now as far tech is concerned. Currently, the space is getting much notice it requires and bigger players are coming in looking for the right gate keepers who they can trust to deliver in various fields.

Just as OP had mentioned, these areas of specialization are very much needed in the technological space as they are the major work force to move projects faster.

One acquiring such skills keeps them relevant in the field and helps them develope on themselves more often creating new ideas so that the work would keep going on.

2346  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people stay poor? on: April 13, 2023, 09:44:15 PM
I will say that being poor is a function of ones mindset and mentality. If your reasoning does not get outside the box, you will remain inside the box and  being confined within poverty. If you are consistent in your little effort without to making a business tell me why that business would not grow big. I hear people talk of funds to start business but I wonder if they had really tried on their own doing that business to get the experience before going for the loan or anything else to improve their business but the reverse is the case.

Staying poor is a thing of personal choice if you want to break out of the poverty you go extra miles to engage your mind, keeping good companies, good environment and do little investment too this can help you grow better and stronger.
2347  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can I earn only from cryptocurrencies? on: April 13, 2023, 08:48:49 PM
I wonder, how many of you work in crypto full time, and how many use this as an additional source of income?
If you want to, you can share with us what you are doing in crypto. Is it trading, aidrops, writing articles, marketing, etc ?

OP as you can see this board is all about bitcoin and Crypto currency activities. So therefore you should know mostly 99% of members here earn bitcoin and other Crypto currencies in one way or the other.

Down to your question,  I must say blockchain is an institution on its own and therefore bitcoin and Crypto made available full time job cutting across all divide. This gives has created lots of job opportunities for people some see it as a full time job and some as a part time job to earn extra source of income. However, there are lots of well paid jobs on Crypto and they varries in dimensions.

Let me start by giving you hints as I make a brief description of the following as you have mentioned;

Trading: this involves one taking advantage of the market situation to making profit when they buy and sell  a token or coin ie when a particular coin price is down one buys some of it and when it is up one sells it. This can be done every day to make profit.

Airdrops:  New projects do give out their tokens to increase the numbers of holders and to create awareness of their project through airdrops. With this, the publicity and holders tend to increase and making the project for which the airdrop is given being popular and we'll known.

Bounties: This is a strategic pattern or way of making a project popular. It is a job done by bounty hunters to promoting a project. This involves, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, Article writing and lots more  marketing processes involved. This aspect of marketing is managed by a campaign manager here and tokens allocated for each section of the campaign to be paid depending on agreement between the two teams involved in promoting the project.
 
There are other jobs like; community moderating, graphics designing, web Developing etc all these jobs  are full time and part time job one can get engaged in to make or earn more Crypto currencies from.

OP this is just  the minimum explanatory so you could understand how it works. Atleast now you know the Jobs involved here and about Crypto jobs and payment.
2348  Economy / Economics / Re: Quit borrowing on: April 13, 2023, 07:53:55 PM
Borrowing money is one of the crucial things, in the end people's interpretations of debt are different, borrowing money will feel like a vicious circle if it's not taken into account, but borrowing money in a planned way can be a very good investment for some people.
To avoid this vicious circle, we must calculate and plan loans and how we repay these loans
Maybe what you say is true. because we can also see that many large companies actually rely on loans to banks in developing their business. but of course with careful planning. and maybe that's fine. but for anyone who makes a loan without careful planning without even taking into account the level of ability to pay, borrowing must be avoided. because it is indeed at risk of making someone prone to being trapped in a vicious circle that makes them addicted. but those who borrow with careful calculations and planning like a company that also does it are indeed understandable. but I personally prefer to develop a business without making a loan because it's less risky.

A big organization or company borrowing is not an issue though because as long as they are making huge profit, they can be able to repay their loan back in a short while. Mind you before a bank gives out loan to a business firm, they must have seen your business proposal or blue print so as to ascertain the figure contained in your proposal and the value of the project if all blend together but the major thing bank will emphasize on is your profit revenue if you can be able to meet up with the repayment of the loan when given to you.

The careful planing you talk about is all entailed in your business proposal because when the bank goes through your proposal, there they would see how you would run your business and repayment plan as you outlined the whole process in your proposal.

2349  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is money ruling the world? on: April 13, 2023, 03:47:10 PM
Indeed money is powerful. Money intoxicates. Money is the only language humans hear and understand. With money, one lives life to the fullest. Money stops nonsense. Money attracts Money. It changes ones level, it makes one thinks positively. With Money one can get the good things of life to live to the fullest.
According to the Bible, money answereth all things but the love of  money is the root to all evil only when you allow it to get over your head.
One thing I would always say and this I tell my friends to not allow money make you forget your humble beginning. Never dispise your early days of life because of money as those days were amongst the life experience that made you today.
2350  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin miners in Nigeria on: April 13, 2023, 02:38:20 PM
To be frank with you OP, bitcoin mining as we all know needs constant electricity power supply and I believe we into the bitcoin system knows that very well. With the epileptic power supply  facing the country is nothing to write home about.  Although there are some part that receives constant electricity power supply but based on knowledge and information, they are not properly informed about this and I really do not know if they can be able to set up the facility for mining of bitcoin.

@Charles-Tim what you have said about the electricity power supply of the north is nothing different from the truth. Like in zamfara, kaduna and Abuja where I once was do enjoy nearly  24 hours electricity supply but I doubt if they are really aware or can be able to do this there.
2351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: April 13, 2023, 02:08:34 PM
I haven't played slots at all in more than a week because after my last win back then at slots I decided to take a break for a while to play slots.
After all, there are some gamblers who complain and say that slot games lately cannot be relied upon and always end badly.
And because some of the reviews from these slot game players make me more confident to keep stopping for a moment so as not to experience the same fate where I get defeat or loss.

You are very lucky you won your last slot game and it was a wise and smart decision you took to go on a break and that is you gaming responsible. You know, when I win a game, I do take break from that particular casino and also from gambling for a while and upon resumption, I play another casino and not the particular casino I had earlier won from and that keeps me going.

In terms of review, I do that based on my experience with a casino and not mostly be with what others have said. I believe  reviews are mostly from personal experience which is gotten from a particular casino or others in the course of engagement but often times, most of the reviews are fake and not genuine as there have been events here where some people request for paid review which we all know is not ethical.
2352  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How NEPA dey treat you for your area? Good or bad? on: April 13, 2023, 10:16:42 AM
As a professional best practice,  get an alternative power supply,  is either you get Gen set or you get solar energy as an alternative because,  right from inception electricity supply in Nigeria has been epileptic and poor, we're 9ja households can't boost 5 hours of electricity supply.
-So instead of leaving your business at the mercy of Nepa you have to think of alternative ways to generate electricity for your use.
-For my area, Nepa dey try well well, we get steady light for here but at least we still dey spend 2-3  hours a day without light, so if you get alternative you can possibly not go off supply for 24/7.
-But I sure say why we dey see light like this, na because of our location since na capital and na City centre I dey, light no fit dey go off light that.
-I know we have some local governments within Nigeria that have not seen light for up to 4 months and yet their pay bills that is how bad the situation has become

As a guy into ITC, you need not to depend on NEPA here in Nigeria otherwise frustration is your next name. In Nigeria, power supply is not taken seriously by the government hence the epileptic power supply across all division. In other to avert business lose and other challenges in the cause of electricity outtage.  One would need to source or make readily available other means of electricity supply such as solar power, generator, inverter etc only with thee alternative options, one would be able to sustain themselves in their various businesses which requires constant electricity.  What baffles me most is that NEPA being fully aware of their lapses in power supply still at month end sends bill to people to pay up for what they did not consume.

2355  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: banks in 9ja that are most p2p crypto-friendly bank with fast transaction speed on: April 12, 2023, 10:13:37 PM
OP I must say that this topic is a very sensitive one as it relates to p2p Crypto - bank transaction. I think we should not delve into this aspect exposing this bank as they are likely Crypto friendly and aids fast transaction for Crypto enthusiast. So far, amongst all the banks in Nigeria, after the recent naira note swap one of the two banks you mentioned was very active and that led to the increase in their app download and mostly from Crypto enthusiast as well since then the bank has been the hub of  Crypto enthusiast for fast and speedy transaction. Believe you me user's of the bank app are mostly Crypto lovers and it has been like a wave now in that direction.  
I think we should try as much not get these banks into conversation here.
2356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: April 12, 2023, 08:58:07 PM
i play slots hoping to win 'big win' or 'jackpot' but many times it don't hits and my balance get drained after betting many times in one slot machine. hoping it already took my so much balance it will definitely going to hit this times, but it never happens, and my balance becomes "0".

so i am sharing some tips to avoid this type of losing streak or bad luck in slots.
here it starts:

1. always set a budget for playing slots and stick to it. do not chase losses or try to win back what you have lost by playing more.
2. if a slot machine does not hit in 7-10 spins, consider trying a different machine. this can help you avoid getting stuck on a losing streak and losing more money.
3. if you have been playing a slot machine for 50 spins and have not gotten any free spins or big wins, consider switching to a different machine.
    this can help you avoid wasting money on a machine that is unlikely to pay out.
4. avoid playing slots from Pragmatic and Gamomat as they tend to have low payout percentages and are not as likely to result in big wins.
5. be careful when playing slots from Belatra and Spinomenal as they can be unpredictable and may not always pay out as expected.
6. if you do hit a big win, consider tipping any nearby players who may have been unlucky or busting. This can help spread good karma and keep the atmosphere positive.
7. avoid getting "slot psychosis" where you get stuck on one machine for too long. remember that slots are based on random chance and there is no guaranteed way to win.
    so, take breaks, switch machines and remember to have fun!

It would have been super nice if you had included "play responsibly" but however, the list so far is full and loud to hear. Self discipline is what it takes to control lose when gambling. Many people are guilty of all you have clearly stated above and no doubt you are talking from experience because it only takes one with experience to write such modalities and possible prevention tips for  a gambler to follow. So far, OP has been able to get through in itemizing or  listing some possible guidelines for averting excessive lose in the course of gambling and I do commend op for doing this effort.

If this measures are followed, I believe there would not be much loses and gambling addiction would gradually and drastically reduce.
2357  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can owning 1 Bitcoin make you rich in 2023? on: April 11, 2023, 08:29:51 PM
I came to know about Bitcoin as everyone here did it was from my friend. I was living as usual a life controlled by the government and its banks. I was not angry about my life, still I had the anger to be someone who can succeed.
I had somewhat good childhood but I always saw my parents struggling to get those fiat. It did saddened me as I saw my parents living a routine life and still did not enjoy it.
Now I know why they were always struggling to get the ends meet. I do not.know whether anyone here can relate to the same experience of my parents
When I understood the true potential of Bitcoin. I joined this forum as I am not someone who can spare the money required to invest for 1BTC.
So, my question is can Bitcoin give a life that I dreamt as a child. Is it possible to gain financial freedom? What exactly does financial freedom means in context of Bitcoin?
# Please ignore my typo and spelling mistake.
Thanks!

OP i was wondering if you have really take out your time to study more about bitcoin as stated in your "context". I think if you do, you will  really understand what you are into on this platform. If you are thinking of a get rich quick scene through bitcoin then i must say you will have to look for an alternative option because bitcoin ownership is not a bed of roses.

According to your topic, bitcoin price compared to other national currencies is sumptuous. I do not know where you are from so i can not tell about  you but for some countries, it is very costly that  BTC1 could get a lot of things for any holder.  You can buy it in fractions as you can afford to and  hold for a long term so that when the price of bitcoin appreciate in value, your invest appreciate as well.

2359  Economy / Economics / Re: Without government job we can survive on: April 11, 2023, 04:07:51 PM

They have to create their own jobs to survive, there are still many simple things that can be done if they don't have the capital to open a business.

Yes mate your very correct. Waiting for the government to create employment is not feasible what if the  government fails to meet up with the expectations of the her citizens, what would then be the outcome? Will the citizens fight the government or otherwise? This is the reason why one must be on the productivity mindset so as to be on track.

Being creative, you can have skills that can fetch you a source of income, you can do trade to make profit. There are lots of petty street business which does not require any much capital to start up. One can get engaged in that exercise so as to survive than waiting for government job which no one knows when it would commence and even of it happens the possibility of securing a spot for yourself is just limited as they have their lackeys, cronies and family to fill up the slots available maybe just nothing or a few slot would be out for the citizenry.
2360  Economy / Economics / Re: Quit borrowing on: April 11, 2023, 03:44:57 PM
When handled responsibly, borrowing can be beneficial, but issues can occur when it becomes a habit or a way to deal with financial troubles. It's crucial to comprehend a loan's terms and conditions and to have a reliable repayment strategy. Different borrowing tactics may apply to businesses and individuals, so it's essential to approach borrowing with caution, taking out only small amounts for brief periods when necessary.

I agree with your opinion mate. In as much as it is not a criminal act to borrow it does not mean that one should take it into a habit. People borrow as a result of some certain things or engagement to sort themselves out but doing it when you have nothing at hand to commiserate with the borrowing is where the issue lies. For instance a businessman borrowing for his or her business is well understood that the business would yield profit for the repayment of the loan vise versa. Borrowing when you have no source of repayment can be very dissappointing and as such why loan givers must always demand for a collateral for the loan so they could get from the collateral what the borrower could not pay back.
In all, one should not get addicted to borrowing and if you must borrow, you must have a repayment plan to cover the time interval of your loan agreement based on the terms and conditions of the loan organization.
