2441  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.
2442  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.

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.
2446  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.
2447  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: July 24, 2023, 08:49:00 PM
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.

What is the relationship of what you are asking for and sending your Ethereum address?  Grin
You are making accusation and yet in a hurry to drop your address for some help. I don't see your reason for that.
2449  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.
2450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Abuse ... on: July 24, 2023, 02:09:02 PM
Maybe gambling beyond what is meant by gambling is abuse because people cannot use gambling as entertainment. Those who want to use gambling as a place to make money are already abusing the purpose of gambling itself. But they don't need to be caught and tried because it depends on their purpose for gambling. And if they lose a lot in gambling, it is their own fault because no one told them to continue gambling and spend a lot of money.

The purpose of gambling like we are trying to discuss is actually subjective as the responses have suggested with individuals different views. So likewise gambling "abuse", like is there any standard for gambling abuse when the law did not make it so. I think abuse is what you feel having negative effect on you or other person that at the extreme might cause loss of life. Drug abuse might have direct cause to death because drug is a substance going inside your body and might harm your health but a gambler may become an addict and it effect needs an extraneous support or contribution if death will ever occur.
2451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Abuse ... on: July 24, 2023, 12:44:41 PM

Do you agree that gambling outside what gambling is meant for is abuse on gambling?

I don't know how someone can gamble outside the act of gambling or what gambling is not meant for. If you bet your money or have staked it in gambling then you are gambling. Unlike the tramadol scenario you made which is quite understable. However, but if patients were to be relieved by tramadol on their pain and some people are also using it as hard drugs to get intoxicated, it means the drug has more than one purpose unlike gambling whose purpose could be more than one, entertainment and profit.


If you agree, what do you think should be done to gambling abusers if there was a way to catch them?
Should they be arrested and prosecuted same way drug abusers are arrested and prosecuted if caught?


If you gamble in a country where gambling is illegal then you have committed a crime and could be arrested likewise drugs, otherwise no arrest will be made.

all I said concerning Tramadol is solely based on my personal use and experience with the drug, in medical terms, I could be wrong with the description of the drug.[/i]

Tramadol I think have different effect on different people. It could be intoxicating some people and giving them energy but for others it could bring them down, weak and make them have lesser strength.
2452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed can cause a lost bet, (true or false) on: July 24, 2023, 11:38:11 AM

Greed is one thing that gets some game lost, the stake we are supposed to win out of greed we add another that get the game lost.


I'm tempted to argue here that your own case may not be issue of greed because you never got to the stage of cash out and left it to be filled. You only took a chance to maximize your profit and it happened that way. Any other game would have caused you to lose and not because you added one more game.


Out of my own experience I have learnt my lessons, but I don't believe that this opportunity might ever come again because I don't bet often, on a second thought this my story is what makes some people put more interest on gambling.

Don't keep fighting yourself because you lost or trying to chase back the lose because you will see yourself playing often and probably become an addict. You have to see your effort as a worthy one and anytime you are moved to gamble you can freely do so but not to put pressure on yourself. Opportunities come and go but they are never lost if you also identify it when it present itself.
2453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: July 24, 2023, 10:21:08 AM

I do not consider how much I win because gambling is very risky and you are likely not to win than to lose.


It takes someone who has a very good understanding of what gambling is to have this kind of mentality and that the way to survive gambling


I set a weekly budget, if I win more I take the profit, but if I lose and the weekly money is lost, I stopped for that week.

It is really tempting to stop when you have lost a whole lot of money and especially if you still have access to some money in your wallet. It takes a strong mind with controlled emotions to keep to this kudos.
2454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you quit that's when you lose! on: July 24, 2023, 08:47:23 AM

Walking away is always difficult because you never know what would have happened if you continued playing but at least you can leave with something instead of nothing.

I do know that this is the better way to be a gambler, playing with your senses to make proper decision for the next time opportunity to come but most of the gamblers who have had to play until they won may not agree to this and that is why we have many losers because the percentage of losers is always higher than those winning in gambling. However, to have a reserve is better than giving everything up and hope for a winning whose chance to achieve is limited.
2455  Economy / Gambling / Re: Betchia.com Crypto Casino on: July 24, 2023, 01:39:57 AM
I created an account on this site 1 hour ago and used the pincodes and somehow on my first bet i got a lag and later my Balance was at 900$, i told to live support that i got 900$ just from using codes from bitcointalk and if it is possible to withdraw. The live support guy told me that i hit a jackpot on this one bet where i had lag and because of it my Balance is so big and then he is telling me that i have to deposit money which is the equal price which was the bonus i got to withdraw the 900$

You could have attached prove here for users to verify and also check their ToS if their is requirement to first make a deposit up to the bonus price you got to kind of activate it. So will you be entitled to withdraw both your deposit and your bonus if at all you send them the deposit? In any case, IMO I won't have to send such deposit to claim a bonus even if it is in their ToS.

How the reality of the country the affect the patronage of your business?


I know say many businesses don dey affected for this country because of the hard economic realities even down to mamaput self for road no dey too finish deir food again because men dey roost, na so dem go carry remaining one go house go do curing.

There is things particular business wey don dey suffer come from north because of insecurity and that because na night life businesses. The owners of this kind of business na so so complain you go dey hear because truly night crawlers self don dey hold them body. As money no dey, food no dey, everywhere cast.
2457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: July 23, 2023, 06:45:19 PM

My main focus on this thread is in this question: as a gambler do you place your bet according to the weight of your financial need or you're always okay with whatever amount that comes out as potential win no matter how small amount?


Need is something that is insatiable so to bet according to need means the person is betting with greed and will be taking alot of risk that he can not carry. People who bet with their needs in mind are doing that if they see gambling as the only source of income. I don't advise people to bet that way but to bet according to their financial straight at that time and to bet as they can bear. Use some possible odds with few games then you are good to go.
2458  Other / Politics & Society / Re: When things go south, who or what lifts you up?? on: July 23, 2023, 05:34:08 PM
I always think of emigrating from the country in which I live. It is true that I was born here and all my family and friends are here, but the economic situation has become unbearable and everyone is thinking of emigrating.

So I think it is a common problem in many countries at different levels. If you get the opportunity to travel, don't miss it. Hope for a better tomorrow is what lifts you up.

The funny thing about migrating from one's country of origin to another country of foreign land is that you become a stranger and if you don't have a complete and legal traveling document including work permit is that you are going to be totally stranded and might be deported which will amount to waste of money and time. Moreover, your country of origin might be better than the country where you are running to because most times that is the situation since the grass is greener from the neighbor's end.

Despite that the government may corruptly embezzle tax payers money and not use it to provide social amenities for the people, we don't have to hide away from it either. What we have to do is to try and hold the government accountable by speaking out and taking them to court if the judicial system is independent and not corrupt also. Tax payment is a civic responsibility and to avoid it is a crime because government may turn around to punish people that they hold guilty of no payment.
2460  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is politics everyone's business? on: July 23, 2023, 02:40:44 PM
yes everyone has an equal right to pursue whatever interest they dime fit,  but then not everyone will have the ball to pursuits their interest.


Every has interest coupled with the zeal but that ball is what is lacking because those political gladiators are ready to kill or harm whoever crosses their part not to get to power. Many young men have been cut short because of their aspiration politically. So it is not a terrain for the lily livered to flourish like other endeavors like economy, social and media outlets. In politics, you have to be strong because that is where all other policies of government stem from.
