So how are these Nigerians accessing bitcoin ? Through what means are they purchasing this since there capital controls on usd and the roll-out of the cashless cbdc hasn't been optimal.

Binance is still in Nigeria crypto space. The government only disabled some accounts and nothing more to that except politics. So at the moment binance is still doing business in Nigeria. Moreover, talking about how to access bitcoin in Nigeria, apart from binance there are other exchanges that are doing business in Nigeria, Nigeria has a very large crypto community and so exchanges have more market to cover in Nigeria.

When it comes to food and drinks we all have a choice. If we choose to include a lot of sugars and processed food into our diet, we'll shorten our lives. As far as alcohol goes it's healthy in moderation. It's proven that drinking wine is good for your blood and beer is good for your bladder Wink

Alcohol good for the bladder?  Grin That sounds funny but to add to that, I have read that alcohol is not very good to the body especially when growing older. We need to balance the alcohol intake and any other thing going into our system including food. We need to take balanced and nutritious food plus fruit and those will nourish our blood cells, build them and increase our immune system to fight against germs in our system.

Sports betting and futures trading indeed require skills to foresee what might happen. But then most of those traders in the forum I think are switching to gambling like sports betting because the market in crypto is a lot harder to predict than sports like soccer or boxing.


I don't think they will consider gambling as no risk to abandon trading. They also need to understand that their are high risk in gambling and that bettors are losing fortune because the only risk management in gambling is to bet as you can bear the loses but in trading, apart from the ways that they can manage their risk and loses, they also can stop the losing trade half way instead of losing everything. Also they can apply stop loss on the trade but gamblers have no opportunity of changing their mind to stop their stake if they have already bet.
2384  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is Gamble gaining more fans than Bitcoin? on: July 26, 2023, 03:44:51 PM
^

Gambling, unlike Bitcoin, has been known for thousands of years. Today it is difficult to find a corner where there is not known at least one gambling game. Bitcoin's white paper was written only 15 years ago, so it should come as no surprise that gambling is more widespread than Bitcoin.


I understand that gambling has been around a long time. Apart from the point of duration of time that both have been around, gambling is more of direct reach to the people. Like if you bet you either lose or you profit, straight and direct process but in comparison with bitcoin, you won't say the same of it.

For Bitcoin you have to buy to invest, hodl , open a wallet, wait for increase before profit but gambling is totally different from that.
2385  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will You Stop Gambling Even If You're Doing Great If This Happens To You on: July 26, 2023, 02:24:07 PM

Will you explain to him that you are doing great and you are not a compulsive gambler
Will just stop gambling  and be practical and get that multi million inheritance
You'll just go on with your passion and just forget the money that your father will give to you as inheritance.

Let's discuss this scenario is possible

It just depends on the person. If it is an addict and who don't believe in family wealth, they won't agree to stop just because of the family inheritance because I have seen some people that their parents wanted them to go into a particular career but they chose the career that they have passion for, so that will be the same scenario.

For someone that is only gambling out of the need for profit and doesn't hold on to personal achievement then they will accept the condition to stop gambling.

If we are not going to give consideration to the online gambling and casinos as preference is in this context, we can engage in physical gambling with some of our materials or items we had in possession, we could gamble with our valuables, assets,

Yes material betting I think is one of the old ways of betting where you could either stake your shirt, snickers, jewelry, cap etc. All those have been used as betting in the past. Back in the past neighborhood betting was more like this especially during weekends when young men gather to bet their money with dice or cards and it will get to an extent where the loser starts betting with his belongings right there because he doesn't want to give up.

I think that everyone knows how small the chances of winning the lottery are, they are so low that you can buy lottery tickets all your life and never hit the jackpot. But despite this, there are those who buy tickets every draw, of course, this is all done for the sake of money, and yet some lucky ones manage to win, so people continue to believe and buy tickets. I am skeptical about lotteries and do not believe that it is possible to win.

Surely there are people who depend on what luck can bring for them and they will keep playing as long as they see money with them. This is what you get when money is the only motivating factor for a gambler and that is what will happen if the primary source of income is in gambling, so whether good or bad or under summer or winter they will continue to try their luck. However there are lucky people with hitting jackpot but very few percentage.

another one that would be very difficult to predict is the end of the world because no single human knows when the world would end,

This would be a ridiculous bet. I can't imagine who and who would want to go on betting on when this world would end when the life expectancy is not even 100 years on earth because you have to be alive to see the outcome of your bet, so it is just a fallacy.

However, the bet on election is quite interesting especially if it has to do with the powerful countries.

Supervision from parents is needed so that their children are not provoked into doing something that can get them into trouble. But the problem now is that many parents are so busy with their work that they forget to watch over their children, so there is much juvenile delinquency around us.


Parenting is a serious aspect of life because it is where the child is shaped to live in the country where he or she find herself but some parents don't see it that way that they owe the children they brought to the world that training that will make them turn out as good citizens. Chasing of money by both parents is one reason that children fall into different devices because at that age of juvenile, they want to explore almost everything in their way. Their friends have that influence over them especially where you have an older young person being friends with a child far younger, he is likely to influence the child wrongly. Also those having helpers in the house, a helper that gamble is capable of a negative influence on the child.

You don't need to go into fight with your friends. They are just having a wrong mindset and wrong orientation on bitcoin and therefore representing it falsefully. All you need is to reorientate them and show them the way to bitcoin. For all you may know some of those shit coins may not fall in 1-100 position in CMC, so send the link to CMC to your friend and let him view the position of the shits, price, volume and dominance and compare with bitcoin, the difference is clear.
2391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: July 25, 2023, 09:04:03 PM

And women succumb to fate, that's why they prefer games where everything is decided for them. It is for this reason that women believe more in tarot cards and fortune-telling - they think that everything is already predetermined.

This was the past in the the historical books of women not now. Currently women now occupy very important positions in scheme of things, in economics and finance, politics, entertainment etc. In sports, many women are fans of football clubs, some are even supporting rivals to their husband's team. They might be limited to go all out for gambling because of their role in the house but given the chance and opportunity, they would gamble as men.
2392  Economy / Economics / Re: How is financial stability defined for you? on: July 25, 2023, 06:19:00 PM

If I can make a million dollar now I won't have to work very hard anymore, I will just keep investing my money and holding valuable assets, more money till the last day on earth, so I believe there is a different between financial stability and freedom, not the same.

Yes growing your capital continuously is the sure way to financial stability but if you have a million dollar and you decide to be reckless with it without no proper planning, it will diminish until the point where you go back to the level of needing help. Having money kept in the bank isn't financial stability but to invest rightly and allow money to work for you whether you are actively working or you are sleeping, you are sure your floating liquidity will keep you going.
2393  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What factors affect life expectancy? on: July 25, 2023, 05:42:08 PM
Life expectancy is the average number of years people live within a society. It varies from countries and regions. It is as high as 87 years in some countries and as low as 56 years in some. The leading countries in high life expectancy include South korea, France, Japan and some other Asian countries. Many factors play a role with the key among them being pollution, habits and sometimes, culture.

However,  it seems there should be more that affect life expectancy that I would love to know. Let's discuss.

For me it is the environment the biggest factor and I will make a simple example which most probably not many people know.There is a tribe somewhere in Pakistan where people live long enough up to 150 years from what I have heard and they never are ill of cancer,which is because of apricots being in huge quantities there and their core of such fruit is a natural anti cancer cure.The environment there is also mountain where the pure fresh air is always available much different than where we live in the super polluted cities and we have huge cases of different fatal disease around us.

Yes I think the major thing that will affect how long or short that we live on earth is how we have treated our health and that is why the countries with good medical care survive more. Apart from curative health system, the environment and nature also affect it. Our inner health is most important because we don't see what we have inside of our body, if we take proper care of what goes inside our body, our inner hygiene is important. Like you mentioned the role of apricot whose health benefits are numerous including good digestion, good eye sight and general health.
2394  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How scarcity of new Naira made my Bitcoin double. on: July 25, 2023, 04:40:53 PM

I love this wisdom of yours that you used to make profit during the cashless policy time. Life na calculation, if not things go over you.

That fit just be coincidence oo say bitcoin rise when cashless dey, e fit happen like that but me I no see any correlation between fiat and bitcoin make e con even be naira. Something like that too don happen for COVID-19 year, that's 2020 around that march time come down wey people dey expect say bitcoin go drop because of all the economic challenges then but it was on the contrary until price hit ATH.. Anyway, if Op make money then, e fit be say the baba dey run POS business then. I hope we remember the ridiculous charges then. I know of one guy wey run the biz then, even as him no too get cash to dispense then , the guy say him dey make 25,000 / 30,000 daily and before 12 pm him cash don finish and customers go book him for next day. The guy say him pray make the cash scarcity last till December but God strong pass him. So government policy get person wey e dey favour.

You try for the idea wey you want raise, I commend the unity wey dey under wetin you dey talk. But e mean say you want make everybody commot the mask wey dem wear. If masquerade con begin dance without covering face, that one no be masquerade again na and no be the spirit of decentralised system wey all man suppose get their privacy to demselve. I believe say some people dey wey still sabi demselves wella outside here and dey run things together but some still dey far from each other and na so the forum too be including forum politics.

However, I still remember say telegram group dey wey men still dey discuss real time issues wey all man dey align together.

The thing be say no be every body go fit do that thing. Apart from say some people no sabi the danger of that, some go call am being smart to take advantage of a situation because me I no see am as poverty or government no do one thing or the other, you too wan take opportunity. I even hear for news say one pastor wey him church dey close there tell him members not to go but some members refuse and carry them hand roost themselves. People need to dey responsible to themselves first before government side too go enter. Tanker dey fall because of bad road but make we no use our hand take kill ourselves.
2397  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The Local Nigerians perception on cryptocurrency and online in General on: July 25, 2023, 07:26:46 AM

See ehh the system has been design to frustrate you and since others has been frustrated already they're expecting other coming at their back to be frustrated as well so when people seeing anybody doing well they immediately start assuming that they're doing illegal things because the system was designed in a way that if you're working as a Nigeria civil servant, you go work tayah before you go fit get bread to chop. Also no forget say many experience wey Nigerians get with cryptocurrency na scam wey dey involved starting from MMM to the other scams dem wey plenty to start to dey mention so no blame anybody wey associate you wey be crypto person to scammers.


Before now if you no dey work for big companies, you no go chop but now internet don change everything, wealth don come to the people.

Wisdom dey your head. People don see everything wey concern online as scam because of the past experience and we self don experience some of them in the past. So if somebody no gree say online still dey legit make we no dey worry or vex for the talk, make we just waka pass because we too don feel like that in the past before we reach here. Just yesterday self wey I hear say palmpay dey gift new customers 10k for there new bonanza if you register with them and refer people, many people no still believe (when I share the link with them) while people dey cash out. The MMM saga still dey people head and some scam still dey exist depending on the one wey face person.


As person wey dey work online, play your cards them well. They comot house ones ones and dey behave like say everything no too go at times because na person wey dey do well dey bring envious neighbors but when you disguise na pity you go dey attract and your life go dey go smoothly and no wahala from anybody.

Omo na true you talk. At least the kind of stuff wey we dey do here still allow person waka travel go somewhere, like 2/3 days outside your environment even one week, two weeks even 1 month like offshore onshore stuff and people go just confuse about your parol and forget your side. You come back refreshed and new, and ontinue your work. However, we wey dey here, I don't know if we still even need computer that much. Computer na secondary and it can be in the house without any body even knowing about it. The phone is well okay for the parol here and make we no dey too expose ourselves.

How unfortunate is that but that is how some people look into gambling and consider this as a tool to get into a higher position of life without realizing that if they keep that money it is huge already.

I agree that it is an unfortunate situation that people look into gambling this way, expecting to be rich through gambling and because of such mentality, they play life savings and no borrowed money on it. This situation is usually rampant with the low income earners who don't have better monthly salary but want to find another source of income. Gambling is not another source of income , you can't calculate the ROI with gambling for it to favour you. ROI will always favour casino owner.

2400  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Deposit limits on: July 24, 2023, 04:09:37 PM

On some of the gambling sites that I usually play, I have never come across a warning like the quote from the gambling site.
Most gambling sites that I often play only provide information about the withdrawal limits that players can make within 24 hours.

I'm also not use to such gambling site warning players on the limit for their deposit. This site must be a "saint" not wanting to attract extra money from the gamblers pocket. What I know is about football betting where gamblers are not expected to bet beyond stipulated amount per slip.

This should be nice for gamblers if it is for casinos.
