Who give up naim loose guard oo, because las las na you go regret why you give up for this small issue. Besides na just binance naim our government don focus for this period and we hope make e no spread to other exchange. But even if binance no come back again other exchange dey wey you fit use take swap your fiat to coin or vice versa. And the main thing na besay, we get very secure wallets to save our fund so make this binance exchange matter no discourage you to forget say p2p still dey alive, if you get trusted vendor, you no go get any issue even when things get as e be, na only rates naim go low.

Lol, na experience naim teach me to use wisdom, if to say I been still dey dey too desperate to get merit I no sure say I for they were I dey now. When person dey chase merit too much and you no come see the merit, e get how disappointed you go come dey, and that disappointment sef go come kill your ginger to even interact with the forum, and this na the basic fact wey make many newbie dey run comot for the forum, after them make some posts and the merit no come, them go just dey discouraged to even come online to see wattin dey sup. Many of us get that experience, some of us sef, the cast us lost because of our desperate actions to get merit. But I tell you say na only the strong mind and good intentions people dey go far for here.

Normally because of the way things be, people no dey even get time to put others through because, of multi task just to survive. But we no dey talk about that one for here, we dey talk about those people wey enter this forum by themselves come still dey catch up with wattin dey sup here, come even teach themselves how thing dey play for here. Baba e no easy for person wey Dem dey put through not to talk of person wey find in way all by emself. Abeg those of una wey fall under the category of guiding themselves throughout the forum, ones again I throway salute una be men.

I like that word, "don't  be too desperate for merit just be yourself" since I joined this forum one thing I learned is that of you try chasing merit you might end up making mistake which could result to you not having the merit you intended to have. One other thing I learnt from merit source is that, they hate merit fishing post which can be obvious due to your actions, once they see that, you are not getting any merit from them. I like the idea of being your self and read to follow up trends that will enlighten you first, and give you the opportunity to be of help to others who lack the information that you have.

Op you mean buying to store for a long period and them sell, I might have a problem with that because, the price of things in the market changes,  the old products tend to reduce in price while the new ones start with high price. Aside from what we are experiencing with the dollar/Naira increase. The normal price of the old stuff tend to reduce, you can clearly see this from gadgets and cars. To me buying now and storing for a lengthy period like the 5 years you mentioned is too much. Considering how desperate the government are in making the dollar to naira rate come down, some with that kind of business idea could end up in loss after he has bought for a high price and then things start getting better and the hike of price of product decreases to the normal.

Actually na when I see the news yesterday, my body week me because for person to dey experience this kind bad network continuously, e no go easy at all. Even when person go village wey get bad network, we dey pray make our business with that community finish quick quick, come to talk of when na the entire west Africa naim go dey get this network failure. Anyway Sha being informed better pass when we no know wattin dey make our network dey break, we go come dey put the blame for MTN and Airtel head. Just yesterday I don correct almost 5 persons wey think say na these network provider them naim get the issue, not knowing say na general problem.

Part from this government issues with binance wey dey bring serious bad reputation for crypto, some of all these scam airdrops wey we dey see sef for everywhere na another thing wey dey bring bad name for Bitcoin and crypto. When people don try to use the airdrop and e come reach the final stage to withdraw the coin, some of this airdrop dey ask for small gas fee wey you go use to withdraw their coin and when you put your funds, it might be $10, $15, $20... To act as gass fee, you go come dey receive some withdrawal error wey go just dey consume your funds anytime you try am. So if people fit get this kind experience tell me why Dem no go think say the entire cryptocurrency network na scam? Until them get the knowledge of crypto and know wattin dey sup for the network, Dem no go fit understand with lay man knowledge.

I can't force you to change your decision but of I try convincing you and I doesn't work then I'll leave you to make the decision you want. Your target of accumulating half a BTC is a great one and indeed it will yield you lots of profit in time coming, but I waiting for the money to get to exactly 0.5 BTC is not a good idea. I understand that you want to invest using lump sum, but when your target money is not yet complete you could just divert to using DCA until you get your complete 0.5btc. the reason for this is for the purpose of not missing out on every profit that might be on the way before your target amount for investment is complete. Of you use DCA, you'll probably get some profits along the way before your 0.5btc is ready for investment. But if you keep procrastinating, you should keep in mind that problems don't end, anything can happen at any time that will promp you to use from you savings for investment to solve something else. besides inflation in traditional fiat currencies is one of the reason why Bitcoin investment stands as the best place to keep our funds.

You're correct there, the op could learn without signing up but there are times were we understand more better when we ask questions directed to the problem we are facing at that present time. Especially if you're working on something technical and you encountered a problem that is strange from all that you've read. The Bitcoin technical board could be of good help to ask questions, as you'll meet so many experienced users/programmer there that might have a clue of what your experiencing. No one said visiting the forum without creating an account is a bad thing, but from what we have at hand now, after the op has spent all these time just visiting the forum, assuming he used all those years to interact with members here, he would have gained more that what he has now.

Ur welcome mate. Here in this forum, one of the way to rise is by lifting others, ot might be a correction, advise, links. Anyway you can help it's acceptable, as long as it is for the betterment of the next person or the one you're referring to. Majority of us learned  from the scratch from other members here in this forum, so what is of our benefits if we don't pass that same knowledge to anyone who is in need? From helping someone you could even earn yourself a merit, telling you well done. However this forum is an exciting place to be, I wonder where I was in the last decade without knowing this forum. Since I joined this forum, I have been endued with knowledge on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency which you can even pay money to get this exposure elsewhere.

For you to invest in Bitcoin, it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll have to buy a whole Bitcoin before you are a Bitcoin investor. This is a personal decision and it's all up to you to make calculations on how to invest in Bitcoin that wouldn't be a problem to the rest part of your spending. And that's why we have the DCA strategy of accumulation that will enable you to make small installation for a very long period of time to meet a target while you still have that comfort in meeting other needs. It's true Bitcoin is not for everyone, but many who had the opportunity and missed it only end up regretting when they see that the price has risen beyond what they though was high. This happens all the time, but most of them end up buying at a very high price compared to when they where still procrastinating.

Op 4 years, that is a complete waste of time without Leaning much, assuming within that time you spent on the forum, you learnt some things it would have prompt you to sign up earlier, because then you'll know the worth of this forum. Anyway, you are welcome to the forum, the forum rules are the first set of things I'll like that you get familiar with, because this forum strictly monitors newbies and account that seem to be a threat to the forum by disobeying the rules and regulations. Secondly I advise that you read enough posts especially from those quality posters to help you build your knowledge about Bitcoin, you could even make research out the forum and if you get confused, just hop back in and ask a question, and we'll be there to give our support.

Indeed hardware wallets are the best for holding huge amount of coins, but the only problem is that it is expensive compared to other non custodial wallet with good reputations. However if it's a small amount of coin the op wants to hold, then meta mask so be a good fit for that. For more safety you could also use an air gapped device, so you know that the Chances of getting hacked is minimal.

I no come dey understand this feed matter again oo, shabi na our law board naim come outside say this our actions no nice and e dey send mixed signals to the international. But seeing this one again, I no come understand, though na probability say Dem fit charge binance with the $10 billion. But that kind thing no nice at all. Then this list of users wey Dem wan still take, that na another problem, my question na wattin Dem wan use am do? Abi Dem wan still arrest the users like as them do to some BDC agents?

Lol bro abeg nor make me laugh, the truth. Of the matter from wattin I understand na be say, no be them be the cause of this merit scarcity wey dey the forum, the merit source Dem don reach to reshuffle and add more, and increase some existing merit source wey get small smerit allocation. All this na wattin baba Theymos go do for us as e be say the forum don dey large everyday, new people dey come on board on a stead. But currently for we local board we gat do away with shitposting first before we go expect something huge, or better change.

I haven't used trust wallet before to crypto transaction but I have a trust wallet address. So I don't much any experience using it, but I have used some couple of wallets like electrum, blue wallet, meta mask... But amongst all the wallet I have had experience with, I prefer electrum wallet to others. And when we talk about hard ware Wallet, they are considered the safest and best for holding larger amount of coins. If you would want to hold I large amount of coin I prefer you buy a hardware wallet, but the thing is, they are kind of expensive than using a non custodial wallet.

Actually you don't have to be too specific on who you tend to listen or learn from. Even a newbie could be the one to explain to your own understand, so I prefer not to underestimate anyone. Fist of all I advise you read all forum rules so you'll not be breaking anyone, because doing so might lead to the end of your account usage. However I also advise you do more of reading than posting for now, you could read post of reputable quality posters and ask questions if you don't understand and we are here to help. And one other thing, you can also learn from every member both lower ranked and higher rank, to aid you understand properly.

What Satoshi did to Bitcoin Is beyond normal average intelligence, in fact the idea of making Bitcoin decentralized without have any central authority controlling it is so brilliant. And that is amongst the greatest reasons why Bitcoin still stands, and today it's the first and best crypto network ever. But when it comes to human, free will is kind of interesting and a kind of life many would want to live, but if children are given the opportunity to have this free will, that might end up destroying their future because no one would like to pass through stress when there is an easy alternative which is failure. I believe the opportunity of free will are only used properly by those who are psychological mature enough to pick the best decisions for themselves.

The topic of personal safety na very important one wey we no suppose carry play or neglect because of any reason. Na who dey alive na Dem hold or invest oo. In as much as we dey take our wallet security very serious e go dey very smart for us to also take our personal safety serious too. Talking about the filling station own, that no be go just decide say make the manager change those expired fire extinguishers, we suppose get government safety official wey supposed to dey waka to inspect safety precautions and measures wey company don set before their normal running of business, especially those wey dey highly inflatable.

Then talking about seat belts, oyibo know why Dem make seat belts, the seat belt na to hold person still even when car get accident come somersault so that the person no go sustain more injuries.but this same seat belt fit still kill person, I don hear of case where car get accident go fall for water and the worse part na be say, na bus and one guy wey be dey for the front passenger seat put on em seat belt. So when other come outside from the water, due to the seat belt wey e been use, the thing come hold am no way to remove am as normal, so before them use saw blade take cut the seat belt commot for the water, the guy don already die. After accident most times to take off the seat belt dey dey difficult and if na fire case sef the person fit no make am, so everything get advantage and disadvantage.

Then when talk about river traveling we need life jacket because anything fit happen, this one person no even need to advise you first, because water na very mysteries something, even great swimmers sef fit die for stream, where I from rural area, we don see so many things wey our mouth no fit explain. So respect water and take the best precaution before you travel for water, if possible sef buy your own life jacket.

Op you don try, e no easy to write out this kind long informative post wey go help others make good choice of exchange to use take trade their coins. Actually when I use binance I no see anything like verification code from email to release coin, but rather na just my password or finger print naim I use to release coin after I don confirm payment. Just like wattin ololajulo talk, we go really miss binance exchange. Because na them get one of the most fastest KYC approval especially when you use bVN take verify. Currently now, I'm checking kucoin out but, for the verification stage, them deny my BVN verification for more than 5 times before I come use another alternative.
