2461  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: would you play more on casino when your country plans to ban BTC? on: July 16, 2023, 10:12:12 PM
So personally, I would never gamble all my Bitcoins just because my government has banned Bitcoin but I would hold them in a non-custodial wallet and keep them for as long as I can because maybe some day in the future, I get to use them somewhere that might benefit me in some way.

There is no sense in gambling all the funds inside our wallets just because the government are planning to ban bitcoin and the use of other cryptocurrency, if that is what the people are thinking, I don't doubt why they are losing frequently because they have that kind of mindset. We always have a choice even though our own government is banning the existence of bitcoin, we can still go back to the basic and gamble like nothing happened.

I believe those who just gamble all their bitcoin for the fear of government banning it in their country are all ignorant of how to store or save it for the future because if a current government ban it, succeeding government can change the ban and you start enjoying the increased btc value because the price will not be stable from what it is then .

I actually expected more from the government, am sure they won't even pay.

The doubt for the way dem don make this palliative something be don dey high. Of course Nigeria phenomenon go still enter the whole thing because we fit still dey hear say Dem want pay while some don collect as e take happen for COVID-19 palliative. We dey in a precarious situation with the government distrust. I'm sure say this past election don open people eyes say the people wey dey always enter for government no be people wey we elect to enter office. I no see any sense wey dey for the palliative wey dem dey plan say dem want do while people suffer don increase.
2463  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bicycle fit be the game changer on: July 16, 2023, 05:47:51 PM

For my area now bicycle full street like this, atleast the bicycle go help else movements and save costs till when the fuel price go come down. Even me wey dey here sef if I get small money, I dey think of to buy one small bicycle too wey I go dey use till when the fuel price go come down, I can't come and kill myself....

Who dey talk of say when fuel price go drop abi come down. This one no possible again because I remember even from president Goodluck Jonathan time when him first say him remove fuel subsidy and price rich 145 naira and him readjust back to 96 naira or so and from then Buhari enter carry price go 150 naira and since then, we know how the price don fly reach. My broda no think am oo, I never hear say fuel price go come down. Abi you dey talk of deregulation? Hmmm, deregulation dey only bring price down when things dey in place like refinery etc but government refinery is not working so make you zero your mind out of that .
2464  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: FG plans to give 8K to poor households. on: July 16, 2023, 03:22:54 PM
To share money to people no even be the thing because me I know say na scam we go see. No be so the school feeding take dey happen until breeze don blow and we don see the colour of fowl yansh, if you know, you know  Grin

Government no dey do wetin Dem suppose do. Dem always want make loop hole for syphoning our money. Nothing stop government to identify the people wey go get this through BVN. But make them build infrastructure, no be the story of sharing money because na scam.
2465  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do you think MARK suspend peoples Facebook's accounts???? [Cyber crime] on: July 16, 2023, 01:38:05 PM
I won't be surprised if some Facebook account are suspended and more from other social media handles because of crime investigation. Some people have complained of being scammed on such platform and reported some account which have been flagged. Facebook is a centralized social media platform and I believe they will want to clean up the space so that the customers will have confident and rebuild trust with them so I'm not surprised with this.
2466  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: The country no de move forward on: July 16, 2023, 10:37:45 AM

We know that this subsidy remover is own favor but people no understand, that's why some people just de para any how.

People no go gree understand because nobody dey see the benefit of the remover. Abi we never hear say Dem still dey steal crude? Government no dey sincere especially the last administration and this present one that is still contested in court. How can dey hastily remove subsidy without arranging how the man on the street go survive. Na palliative money Dem still dey want go borrow. The thing no good to hear for ear. Na same people fight president Goodluck Jonathan for the same policy even as him provide palliative wey everybody see.
2467  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: The country no de move forward on: July 16, 2023, 09:40:28 AM
Sometimes you go hope say if one government comot and another one enter say you see something new and this na true for other countries but for naija, na the same thing no difference, in fact things go hard more when new government enter. Fuel don become something wey don increase poverty among the people.

This fuel situation self don make people dey covert fuel generators to begin use gas. Omo me I still dey look for one side oo, make I see how that one too dey go as them say e dey cheap. Naija , things never dey positive na only negative. Them never arrange palliative but dem remove subsidy. Dem just dey bobo everywhere and that is why people dey kill to enter politics and government because na there the money dey.
2468  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Young people should take more advantage of the crypto space. on: July 15, 2023, 10:32:05 PM

Crypto space is great for every ages, but for young people

Cryptocurrency favours the youth more for different reasons not excluding internet accessibility, ability to understand and use it. The youth are more open to adaptability and moreover they crave for financial independence.



 it could be even better if there were more jobs opportunities available here, so they could earn money without necessarily having to invest.

The investment  does not require life services. All that an optimistic youth requires to cut down on his extravagant spending and hodl few Satoshi or other coins that can grow faster like BNB or Ethereum. Moreso, halving is approaching, so a little investment now could become big gains.
2469  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Drainage is not a dump yard on: July 15, 2023, 08:49:33 PM
Blocking drainage be one thing wey dey cause flooding. If rain fall and e no see where to pass enter the next thing na to stay for street. We don already know this but na the sanitation people to take better measures to stop the thing. Market people dey guilty pass for this matter because them dey put their waste directly inside gutter. Me I go suggest say make government try make sanitation wey we been dey do before for every last Saturday of of the month to come back. Some states no dey follow do this sanitation again. At least with that one, some people go still carry the opportunity take clean their environment, e go help.

However, marriage dey very important in our lives, e show maturity of mind that you don dey ready to grow another family but some young people dey do the thing as competition.
2471  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The best motivation on: July 15, 2023, 06:02:29 PM
Different things can motivate someone not only yourself or second party like parents or siblings. You can have a motivation after you have come out of a particular challenge, so will this be considered as a personal motivation or third party? I see many things can be a source of motivation but what is important is how we are able to see that as something motivating us. Like they say, the best advise is the one that an individual give to themselves. Therefore, if you had a challenge and after words that challenge became your source of motivation, then take up the challenge and make your life better, that is what is important. We don't have to allow situations that are not pleasant to bring us down but we are to learn from it, get motivated and move on.
2472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: July 15, 2023, 04:05:30 PM
Perhaps, around 5% too, but I never calculated it in detail. Usually, it's just depositing around $10-$20 into my gambling account, and it's enough to stay there for a week or even up to 3 weeks Grin

I never spend the money I deposit into gambling accounts because I don't have a large fund set up for gambling and only the money I can afford. Perhaps, other people have bigger percentage limits than I do, and I understand because it's an amount they can afford, and everyone who often gambles will use the money they can afford to gamble.

This seem the same here. It all varies on the circumstances of the bet for the previous week. If the loses are consistent then I could reduce and take a break. Of course the winning is not always guaranteed so it is better to take precautions. Sometimes I keep it around 2% , it fluctuates and not steady. If there are financial obligations to meet up to then I could reduce the betting expenses or not bet for the main time until I have the amount to bet without regret.
2473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This is not Practical on: July 15, 2023, 02:56:07 PM
I have heard the advice that you should only use money you can afford to lose for gambling. I say that this is more theoretical than practical. Literally no one has money that they can afford to lose.

Money that you can afford to lose is simply the money that you may have budgeted for gambling. A gambler knows that gambling involves luck and with high risk tendency for losing. So a gambler understand he could lose that part of the money he is using for gambling therefore if he loses that should not cause him a financial handicap or injury to make him go begging or put him in debt. That is why such phrase is always used in gambling palace.


Hey gamblers my question is to you now is, the money you currently plan to use for gambling is it money that you can afford to lose?


That is the case as it is the proper thing to do. A gambler should make a budget of how much of his income he wants to risk at the time he is playing. That is financial propriety and to avoid regrets, it is a wiser gambling decision.
2474  Economy / Gambling / Re: Where should I play? Asking for recommendations. on: July 15, 2023, 02:17:00 PM

Now when its more important for them to have Drake streaming and "throwing away money" then give back to their customers I am gonna stop play there and start a journey on another website.


What is really the issue you have raised? I think you have not clearly stated what was it that you had with the casinos that you have been playing with but you are seeking for a new one to jump into.

What I have noticed is that some bettors don't do background checks on KYC before signing up and after their winning they want to instantly get the winning without following the process of the rules for withdrawal. So which is the complaining you are making because almost all casinos run on KYC.
2475  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How real?That football players required to bribe before they are allowed to play on: July 15, 2023, 10:12:45 AM

Every players have their own unique experiences when it comes to joining the league and maybe this is true since he will not say that and just ruin his reputation. Well this might not be a requirement but maybe a small team can’t pay that much and that’s why they need something in return so they can accept that player.

I don't believe that Cameroon FA is a small team. Cameroon is known in world class FIFA football tournament having been the first of Africa country to o reach the quarter finals in Italia 90. So it is not a small team that the government can't source out funds for the team. It is just the human greed that few people will want to take opportunity on. The FA didn't make a counter claim on what mbappe said and I don't think he said it with heavy heart or to spite nor indict anybody. After all, he only said that regarding the FA and not on any personality.


If other players will make a statement like this, then we can validate that statement and I’m sure its not happening anymore.

These kind of news are being filtered as rumour in local football but the difference with this is that it was made public.
2476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Signs that indicate you are not addicted to gambling on: July 15, 2023, 09:44:12 AM
I think the biggest sign that you aren’t addicted to gambling is if you can stop and feel no ill effects. For example, we’re all addicted to our phones. Leave the house without yours and you feel naked and incomplete. If going a week without gambling leaves you feeling similar, like you’re missing something you need, then maybe you might be addicted.

The phone addiction you mentioned is right, if you go out without your phone there is a kind of boredom that you will feel because we are so compactible and accustomed with our phone but we can't even help that or can we ?  Grin Maybe for online addicts, phone addiction could be termed as positive addiction. Yes if you miss to gamble for sometime probably because you are busy in another schedule and you don't regret not gambling it means you are walking away from addiction. In fact, for an addict no other schedule come first if not gambling and betting the day's game.

It is still addiction if you can't leave your phone at home, no matter if it is positive or negative, but again, it is best if it is positive as it brings us something about it like a good effect, unlike negative addictions like gambling, where you can't do other things now as you want to gamble as well as lose tons of money. But again, if you can survive not playing gambling for a month even if you are bored, then for sure you are not addicted because mostly when boredom strikes, we gamble like we use our phone if we are bored and keep scrolling on it.

Well I understand the point @xSkylarx, about the phone but in trying to compare the gambling addiction to mere going out with phone or pressing it will not be looked as the same. That of gambling is about playing with your money that means your finance is going off from you but for phone, I don't think you are losing any finance. Moreso for phone, people can be addicted to it because they are perhaps working online with it and that could be the major reason to be addicted with phone which also includes using it to bet online  Grin

Lack of Loss Chasing

I believe this a very good sign for and against the topic. If someone who gambles a lot and he does this then it is clear he is addicted to gambling because as he is chasing his losses, he will keep making more losses on it until he loses all. But some who is not an addict will take his lose as one of those phenomenon where you play and don't win. He won't dwell on the agony of defeat or loses. Chasing of loses is really a way to determine how addicted someone is to gambling or not.
2479  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You must do this if you want to QUIT or NOT on: July 14, 2023, 08:22:43 PM
.
Know your goals in life and contemplate on how bad you want those things for you. Because you alone will be responsible to accomplish such things.
There will be others that may possibly assist you, your family or close friends, but the will to change will still come from you.

To build a good life is hard work, it may be a personal effort or the family support and background. The people who have reached and achieved their goal by themselves are very determined and they advise themselves when they are going wrong like when they are introduced to gambling, they take precautions when playing on it consistently. It takes personal effort but the family as a first point where children take guide from is very important. If you have family that are addict, there is high possibility that you may not get out of it. So the family influence is in two ways, it may be positive or negative.
2480  Economy / Speculation / Re: Less than 300 days left to halving - price predictions for The Day? on: July 14, 2023, 07:20:35 PM
Today bitcoin rose more than 4% and reached its highest price since this year which reached $31k, many analysts believe that the price will soon reach $40k this july, of course this is a good indication that this year the market will rise especially around In 8 months there will be halving day.

It is still surprising to know that speculators are turning to predict an increasing price for bitcoin and the price is actually running along the line. Price dropped slightly today back to $30,168 at the moment , I'm having a feeling that it may keep hanging in between this figure and $35,000 until the month end but anything can happen with predictions.
