Congratulations on both your motorcycle and your maiden use of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, your story is a pretty interesting one to read, i must say i enjoyed reading it, whilst i might not spend that much Bitcoin on a commodity right now, for obvious reasons, i have to praise you for making a good choice by doing so, and using Bitcoin as an actual currency/money. Prolly somewhere along the line we might not be fascinated anymore when one makes a purchase via bitcoin, because by then it would be a common medium of exchange; your motocycle looks great by the way.

I am quite surprised that you started just in February and you did not panic or sell when the plunge/crash began, it is a very good choice, but not one that newcomer investors take quite often, many newbie investors are into the get rich quick reverie, and thus they can't handle a plunge/correction phase, either they sell or they fall seriously sick over the dump. It is pretty much good you did not of that, considering the fact you have also invested a large sum of money, at least to me. Bear periods are pretty much a favorable time to accumulate more Bitcoins, but sadly quite a lot of people are always too scared to capitalize on the opportunity.

It is what it is, and i am pretty sure every country is struggling to keep their inflation levels in check, all of these should have a thing or two to do with Covid-19 sanctions and policies like printing quite a lot of money, it was all going to cause inflation problems, and here we are now, what could be worse is that we prolly may not have seen the worst of inflation as it doesn't look like getting any better. It is a difficult situation for my country at the moment, there is a serious increase in the prices of goods and services making it very difficult for the poor/average to survive.

Arsenal are pretty busy in this summer's transfer window than they normally were in previous seasons, it is unusual to see Arsenal so much in the news, chasing quite a lot of players, and have signed a couple already. I do not know if Gnabry wants to leave Bayern just yet, or if Arsenal are just hopeful they can allure him back to the Emirates Stadium, but Arsenal surely can't offer him what Bayern can, as a Bayern player you are almost certain of winning a trophy every season, and to play in the CL and compete for it as well, Arsenal can't guarantee you anything like that. Having said that, if it possibly happens, and Gnabry moves to Arsenal, then that is a big one for the club and they will have a lot to look forward to next season.

No i have never done that and i would not do that, for me it has to stop at meriting the post, if you are so impressed by the post then you can send as much merits as you have on the post, prolly exhaust what you have, and if you do not have sufficient merits you can report the post to threads where unmerited and under-merited posts are being reported for consideration, if all of that isn't enough, you can bookmark the post and give merits to it when you have some smerits. But sending Bitcoins is not something i'd do. Mind you also that it's not all users that have their Bitcoin address in their profile.

I'm sure Gabriel Jesus will turn out to be a very important player for Arsenal in whatever their ambition is for next season, i commend Gabriel for taking this bold step, i actually have a problem with players who are happy with little or no playing time, my philosophy remains that if you aren't getting the playing time you deserve, and you stick around and fight for a starting place in the team and it just isn't working, i prolly think it should be time the player left. Gabriel was obviously comfortable in City, winning multiple trophies and playing occasionally, but he wasn't still satisfied, he was also aware that the arrival of Erling would further reduce his playing time, thus he had to leave, he will play very regularly at the Emirates Stadium, and that is what he needs for the overall development of his career.

Good work mate for putting this together yet again, i must say i am glad that our quality activity is still upheld and hasn't dropped because we are yet to have a local board, and discussions in a local thread can turn messy at times, thus i commend every user who is doing their own bit to contribute constructively to the Nigerian local thread, more of the same please, and to @igehhh thank you for this monthly overview, it makes it easier for the admins to track our activeness and other whatnots.

@Hyphen(-) and @Yawa2020, what exactly are you guys talking about please, has any supporter of LP (Peter Obi) told you that they are unaware of the fact that elections aren't won online, what is it with this catch phrase, Nigerians never cease to amaze me i must say, i'd reiterate again, social media is a pretty powerful tool to create awareness about issues, especially political issues. So why has it suddenly become a problem to you guys that Peter Obi is receiving all of the attention on social media. Tinubu and Atiku are also campaigning via the social media, just that it isn't garnering as much attention as that of Peter Obi's, and i ask again, would you be so keen to roll out this "funny advice" if it was the other way round.

Not just on social media, his supporters are also trooping out in mass to register for their PVC so as to vote on the election day, what really are you guys getting at, or have you run out of complaints that you just focus on one which has no base whatsoever. If you are in support of the movement, then do your own bit, get your PVC and tell people around you about Peter Obi, if you are not, then tell us whom between Tinubu and Atiku you are supporting, "no dey disguise abeg". You can't continually downplay the efforts people are making with this recurrent advice.

Why is this becoming a recurrent phrase, of course everyone knows that elections are not won online, but social media (online) is also a great/powerful tool to create awareness and to sensitize people about issues like this, and i see no wrong that Labour Party supporters are making good use of it, if it was the other way round i guess some people will be fine by it.
How can you claim that a whopping 80% of Nigerian voters don't have mobile phones, that is as incorrect as saying 2+2 is 22, except of course if you can back that up with statistical proof of some sort. Labour Party supporters including myself are doing a great job, both online and offline, i live in a rural community at the momemt, and they all know Peter Obi here, thus i don't know if you are saying all of these on assumption or because that is what you want to happen.

I second that as well. Manchester United are not convincing at all, they were not convincing at all last season, and they are not in this transfer window, if i were to be a player of Manchester United with a huge ambition i'd also be considering leaving the team so as not to waste another season of my career. The club/fans seem to be putting too much importance on their new manager rather than making good signings and build their team around quality players. Having said that, Ronaldo is in a somewhat difficult situation, i really do not know which team will sign him, especially because of his wages and age, let us keep our fingers crossed and see how it all pans out.

To be honest, i personally do not see any potential in Manchester United, yeah i know that they have a new manager and there is so much hype surrounding him (Erik) at the moment, but who is sure he is going to turn out successful, remember that managers like Mourinho have come and gone, yet no visible improvement. United obviously can't win the league next season, or anytime soon for that matter, they are also not in the CL, and who is sure when next they will play in the CL, so where's the potential.

Barcelona on the other hand had a very good season, they started very poorly, but Xavi was able to restore the confidence and desire to win back in the players which made them finish high on the table, now they have a high morale coming into next season, and i am pretty sure they will compete with Real Madrid for the Laliga title, they are also in the CL, there is obviously more potential in their team than in United's.

Remember that Inter have only spent around £10m in this deal to bring Lukaku back, so to be honest with you they have spent little or nothing to be too worried about a negative outcome. But the chances that Lukaku will perform poorly is pretty low. Even if he does not produce the sort of performances of two season ago when they won the league, i am certain he will still be a very important player for Inter in this new season. Lukaku loves Inter Milan, there is no doubt about that, he also seems to be very comfortable and happy playing in the Seria A, all of that contributes to why he performed so well for Inter, but not in Chelsea, Lukaku seemed unhappy from the get-go in Stamford Bridge, now he is back to his "comfort zone", i believe he will shine.

I second that, i can't imagine having to pass down a bitcointalk account to my children, that will be absurd to say the least. Rather than do a thing like that, if your children are somewhat interested in Bitcoin like you said, then let them register on the forum and join in the discussions about Bitcoin and other whatnots that go on here. There are more important things i'd worry about passing down to my children than my account. This thread should be in meta in my opinion.

A swimming and a crypto mentor is two wholly different things. A personal mentor/coach is not really important in cryptocurrency, and could not only be counter-productive, but risky for newbies, mind you that most newbies do not know a lot about security, privacy and anonymity, thus they might give up some of that to the person they consider a mentor, and that might prove costly in the long run.

Having said that, it is prolly better to learn by yourself, and even if you'd want to get a mentor, it shouldn't be a personal one, it could be someone you admire from afar, and try to learn from. Mind you also that basically copying someone's strategies doesn't help you learn, but in hindsight limits your knowledge.

I do not consider what it's rumored chelsea are willing to pay for Sterling as a high price (around £50m), Sterling has been magnificent for City since joining the club, he is also a complete professional who doesn't complain or bring disunity in the dressing room when he isn't playing regularly. If you look at the amount of money that clubs have been spending on players lately, then you definitely can't call this a high fee, Spurs signed Richarlison who is not an established footballer for around £60m, and Arsenal signed Gabriel Jesus for £45m, it is what it is, and Raheem Sterling is just 27 years old, he still has quite a lot of years ahead of him, so if Chelsea get him now for that price, it is a worthy bargain.

Having said that, the problem here is for City, and that's not because they are letting Sterling go, but they are selling him to their direct rival Chelsea, i just hope this does not affect them in the grand scheme of things come the end of next season.

This injury to Zlatan might be one of the reasons he retires earlier than he wishes or planned to. He is 40 years of age, and it takes older players quite a longer time to recover from an injury and to regain back their form, thus for a player of 40 years it is going to be very difficult, even if Zlatan is a real fighter, this is one fight he prolly might not win. Having said that, nothing can be certain yet, he might still recover well by next year, but one thing is certain, and it is that no big team will sign him, thus he might then move to a smaller team in maybe a less competitive league, and end his career there.

No i do not think that BTC will drop below the 13k-14k range in July, i also do not have any reasons/analysis backing up what i just said, even if i had i don't think it would be necessary to post them, the thread is for fun sentiments/speculations after all .

To be honest, they have upgraded nothing, this method is very popular, well, it would be new for newcomers who prolly have no knowledge or experience, but then even as a newbie one should still be able to sense what looks like a scam, or what looks just too good to be true, and we all can agree that once a stranger sends you a message talking about something like what is in the op, it is undoubtedly a scam.
That is it, the promise of the percentage is what allures people to some of these scams, and that is only cause they believe there is free money waiting to be harnessed in crypto, and that is why scammers will always have victims.

Welcome here baba, i twaile for you as you don find us for where we they discuss Nigerian informate so oh, as you know here na our local thread wey we they manage for now, as we they push for our main local board, we still believe say very soon the admin wey they for forum go approve our request, so we go park comot here, go sit down wella for our local board with different childboards so discussions go they go on seamlessly. I greet you once more, feel free to ask anything for here, men they ground to give you better replies sharparly sharparly.

Ronaldo is unarguably one of the best players of all time, and only a few footballers are worthy to tie his laces, but i'm afraid i do not consider Ronaldo to be a captain "material", let us be honest, Ronaldo somewhat plays for his individual accolades, he is less of a team player than what a captain should be, there are numerous times that the team have won, but Ronaldo was unhappy just cause he did not get on the scoresheet, now can we also talk about his discouraging body movements when the team is losing or when the game isn't going his way, that is not how you want your captain to behave, and if i were to be manager of Manchester United, i would definitely not be happy if Ronaldo is my skipper.
