Trust is a big thing that once it's broken, they becomes hard to replace or arrange back to how they are but bitcoin has solved this for everyone. Unlike the banks that have failed us multiple occasions, you have to deal with their incompetent and sorry for the downtime.
Thanks to Satoshi for I now have more believe in bitcoin than banks that my parents trust their savings and pension funds with, I can tip anyone I want and I don't need to wait for "interbank transfer is currently in maintenance" and lastly thanks to him for making a forum like this, the knowledge I have gathered from this forum.

If a wallet address like legacy for example has bitcoin locked on his public key and has remained in active for some years, does that mean the private keys are lost? I think this hypothesis of lost private keys or lost btc should be discard, just two weeks back, we saw 10 years of BTC on the move to exchange.
I'm not sure what will happen to Satoshi share early mined bitcoin but I have this feeling that if the market becomes stable, he wouldn't still sell all at once. I remember billions of shib was airdroped to ethereum founder and it becomes even more stronger, bitcoin can do the same and will one day achieve a price that people will not fear Satoshi bitcoin liquidation.
What ever happened to the number of supply, try and get some for yourself, we never can tell tomorrow.

Aim of this Discuss

Trading of crypto full time as an occupation is fast becoming a trend, this discuss is to elucidate the long term effects associated with crypto trading so that forum members who are considering it as a career option can know what they should be expecting and how to avoid it.

The very first long-term occupational hazard i can think of is the development of High blood pressure...

What can you add to the list of dangers associated with making crypto trading a full time occupation?


I can add few I remember when I tested trading sometime ago. Trading is very hard if you are not prepared especially this thing that annoyed me and keep repeating, it is when you sell the price always go up and fall when you buy, I keep making that mistake until I got tired and gave my self some break, and what I learned during that period are:
1. Lack of good sleep: It's not that I wake up in the night to check my trades but psychologically, I do remember my opened trades while on sleep, weird right!
2. I don't eat on time: I developed this habit of eating late until I release my ulcer was getting increased, trading affected the way I eat.
3. Trading made me have little for love for family friends, loosing money is not easy, your reaction to your families speak how angry
2764  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: It seems that more people taking crypto trading as full time job on: March 18, 2022, 10:25:02 PM
During the situation around the world where low payed jobs more people looking for opportnuties to work online.
And crypto is one of them options
Future trading is one of the most popular ways to make full time income.
Ifyou dont know how to trade good use good signals for spot and futures trading right now many people become traders.

Are you full time trader ?

Future trading is not the most popular way to make full time money in trading, in fact, futures is one if the most popular firm of trading to lost money very quickly. If you don't have basic of trading, future trading is going to be very difficult for any person to enjoy.
I we go with Margin but I think liquidation has been reduced by 3X tokens they called _UP and _DOWN on most centralized exchanges and how popular the project has become.
We now have advancement in our life, not just technology but in everything and now that trading is part of making some money, people has changed the way life.
2765  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is a game of quantity on: March 18, 2022, 10:08:03 PM
A game of quantity since the supply is very limited and only 21 million will ever be in circulation. Panic is a part of human nature, and it shows that we have emotions, and why we respond to price drops, even long-term investors experience it, it all depends on how our minds are prepared to hold.
Unless you want to do a dollar-cost average (DCA) or buy when the price drops, bitcoin price is often difficult to predict. I know a lot of friends who are still waiting for the bitcoin price at $8000 bid order line up on exchanges, and bitcoin has yet to visit that low price.

.....

Security and Privacy are what I have to share with a newbie, it is possible that a new person may learn all that you have listed above but may hardly know the difference between privacy and security. For example, to achieve privacy, you can use a VPN but not all VPNs are that secured especially the few ones you see around are most of the free server locations they provide are all US and the US is prohibited in some countries. If they learned that two,  any software wouldn't be a problem especially when it comes to know the difference between open source and close source.
2767  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there a place in the world you could live like a king via sig campaigns? on: March 17, 2022, 05:52:37 PM
I'm going to reply to this thread with honesty and anyone from my locality can attest to my opinion.
You see, there are some countries that are still living below the international poverty line, my country for example pay a minimum wage of #30,000 which is <= $53 (depending on the $$ rate, I used #570 per dollar) and imagine someone earning $1500 (570*1500 = #855,000) in a week, that's should be enough to feed you and your family and save some for rainy days unless you are the type that loves extravagant life, but trust me, you are 4 times better than some running for jobs slots in big firms. In fact, let me burst your bubbles, that's the salary of some master holders in some big firms.

Arsenal never fails to disappoint! I was happy in the first 15 minutes of the march that they were giving Liverpool some though play when they changed ball possession within 5 minutes, but I was later angry at them, how do the fans deal with this failure? They had chances to score in every opportunity they had in the match, I'm not sure Saka has the bones in him to do some pushing.  Embarrassed
Anyway, I knew Liverpool would be difficult to defeat. I will see their performance when Watford pay them a visit in their next match.

also worth remembering that when internet came some said newspapers would end, when ebooks came many said it was the end for books... we still see books around and newspapers too (thought I could agree that maybe newspapers won't last much longer...)

Technology has been in existence right from the medieval days and with time, it has revolves and disintegrated into different forms and it the loop has been going on for long, it doesn't end it one place, it will continue to progress but you see books, I doubt if it will every be replace, even the so historians and advanced archeologist still want some documentation should be in book written form, not everything will go digital.
I think I'm the only one that hate technology replacing every aspect of sports, the fun is fading away without us realizing it.

Tonight's game between Liverpool and Arsenal will be a good chance for both clubs to make a huge difference in their scores and points on the premier league table, I am very sure the will not be many goals in the matches but quite sure a club is going to win the match before the of the 90 minutes.

Let's see how the game will go and how both arsenal and Liverpool will take advantage of the chance they get during the game.

Liverpool and Arsenal match is going to be like elementary game of touch and run where the both players struggle to reach the other side. Liverpool will want to win Arsenal so they can easily clinch first place and Arsenal will want to win in order to maintain 3rd place move up to second. It's going to be a tight game, but you know anything can happen too, Sallah is good for his reputation, and he'll do anything for Liverpool.
2771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Round of 16! on: March 16, 2022, 05:54:43 PM
As I predicted yesterday, MU inconsistency is happening right now. Atletico had a more organized attack than United, although in the second half there were plenty of chances that United could have taken advantage of to make a goal. MU next season must completely change the composition of players and coach strategy, and Rangnick's opportunity to be replaced by another coach is very open, considering his contract is also temporary with MU.

It's a tragedy for Manchester United, who are well-known for teaching Atletico some lessons, football can be unpredictable at times. Since 2008, when Manchester United last won the Champions League, it has been difficult to repeat the victory, and even after signing Ronaldo and Sancho to boost their chances of winning the UCL, they have been dropped from the top 16. I'm hoping that the remaining two years of his contract will bring some joy back to Manchester United because his age is really affecting him.

Off-chain transaction happens within the exchanges that's why they don't get included on the blockchain. For a transaction to be visible on the ledger, they have to be validated by all the nodes and verify by miners which don't happen when transaction happen within an exchange. Internal transactions don't usually count unless they follow the consensus rule of Bitcoin.
So, when you make bitcoin withdrawal, in order to receive it, they charge you for a fee to facilitate that transaction to your designated external wallet.

Even if newbies easily make mistakes because of not familiar with things due lack of knowledge,  their are some mistakes in the forum every newbie needs to avoid, like plagiarism , it is one of the rules the forum forbids much, so newbie have any excuse to give about plagiarism.

There is this saying in my language we use to caution someone when the person is new to an environment or system but doesn't want to slow things down, I will put it in English form even if doesn't sweet the irony:- A good road is always good for a journey but be careful because there might be a sharp corner.
There are some people on this forum that were introduced here by friends but because they see them doing well, the next thing they want to do is to do like them instead of them to read the rules and regulations and before you know, boom they will make mistakes that they would have avoided from the beginning of their journey.

No pun intended but you are missing something. More than half of the threads you have created were posted on the wrong board, they are local contents that was supposed to be on local boards but you posted them on the beginner board. I wonder what will Russian beginners do with Scams that had to do with naira, even after you have been directed to the designated local board, you posted the same contents on another board. Read the necessary things and ask when you are lost, don't just keep writing because you think it's appropriate to do it your way.
Good luck.

You were scammed and it was very easy to see it coming but I think you were so desperate to get that item at all cost. A lesson should be learned but there is no need to open a local scam on a global board, do that on the local board where your locals will learn from the mistake you made in the past and make awareness about it.
You can close this thread and repost it on Naija Unofficial board using pidgin to carry everyone along and next time, don't deal with an agent on Jumia, they are all scammers, your deal and payment should always be done inside Jumia.
2776  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 15, 2022, 12:11:03 PM
You are right. The big bad news for Leverkusen from the defeat is that Wirtz has been injured. And he is one of the most important players in the Leverkusen team. He has also scored 6 goals and 10 assists this season. If his injury degrades Leverkusen's performance in the upcoming matches, we will not see Leverkusen in third place in the table.

The loss of Wirtz is indeed painful for Leverkusen. But you have to remember that Leverkusen has one of the most balanced teams in the league. Hardly any other club has so many players at a similar level. At other teams, the gap between top players and bad players is much larger. That's why it's safe to assume that Leverkusen will be able to compensate for the loss of players.

Whether with or without Wirtz, Leverkusen understands when to play a defensive style or offensive tricks, they know how to swing mood in matches, and that's what has been helping them in the top four. The disparity in their points, I believe, is where the trouble rests. Leverkusen is only 1 point above Leipzig, Freiburg, and Hoffenheim, and the critical thing is that they have both played 26 games. Any tiny mistake can drop Leverkusen out of the top four, and any of them will get in since they all appear to be in a close place.

So excited with achievement result getting by Real Madrid after defeating Real Mallorca 3-0 and now behind 10 points from Sevilla, left 10 match later I think Madrid could close step as the winner maybe 7 match later if success get all points and waiting what achievement from Sevilla match, maybe if Sevilla keep not consistent have chance early for Real Madrid as La Liga winner, but not easy because next week have Barcelona as elclasico match and looks interested because Barcelona have top perform right now and looks better than first half match when Real Madrid success winning on first el clasico match.

Barcelona VS Real Madrid will be a very interesting match to watch as I have noticed that since the beginning of the year, all of Real Madrid's marches have been either a win or a draw and there has never been a loss for them and the same for Barcelona, they have won and drawn their last sixth matches and what is more entertaining about them is that they have been winning 4 goals in most of their matches. It's very likely that their match will conclude 1-1, and I'll raise a glass to Benzema when he is named man of the match.
2778  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Blame Game in gambling on: March 15, 2022, 10:48:31 AM
One factor that leads to suicide is debt. I don't know if the young gambler is eligible to borrow in Europe but, the Government frown against that I could remember when a Gambling company was sanctioned for sending out spam messages through email about their gambling platform. Nobody should be blamed about his death. Regarding the fact that it's not quite clear despite his parent's blame on his gambling addiction that it's what caused his death. This is just one part of his habits that they know about. He could have other kinds of lifestyles which must have lead to his suicidal action. One thing is for sure, maybe he is indebt or borrowed to gamble and lost it all.

That factor wouldn't count unless the debtor won't have the capacity to pay back the debt and that's when the thought of suicide begins to set in before they finally give the thought in and choose the wrong step of life.
There was a particular thread I replied how a family friend lost his master's funding to gambling, he was losing it until he realised he had just less than $200 out of $8000 that was given to him as an initial deposit, he drink a sniper (pesticide) but was later rush to the hospital when they discovered and luckily, he survived. The Mum and other siblings never knew him as a gambler because he is the silent type. So, the Moral story is that parent do try their possible best to protect every child but they have a limit on how they can protect their child.

Honestly ATM does look like they are doing fine and they have a chance. However, as we have remembered again, it all depends on Ronaldo once again. If Ronaldo decides to win a game, he is capable of winning a game and that will most probably what will happen on this one as well.

Messi just got eliminated from champions league, and Ronaldo is coming off a new hattrick game and I am sure that he will want to succeed to once again show the world that he is a better player than Messi. Will he succeed? I do not know, maybe he will fail, but at the end of the day when Ronaldo is reaching for a goal that harshly, it is not common for him to fail.

So, because Messi couldn't make it to the finish line of the champions league, it has made him become less of a man while Ronaldo remains greatest Sad  Don't be surprised if Manchester gets eliminated by Atletico today, Ronaldo was privileged in their visit to Metropolitano and it was a shame to draw with them, to even say they Atletico scored in less than 7 minutes of the march until Man United struggle to equalize in 79 minutes. It shows that Atletico is prepared and are ready for Manchester United.
2780  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: March 14, 2022, 07:26:08 PM
All the teams above Manchester United have played fewer matches than them, and especially Arsenal who surpassed them has played three matches less than them.

Now, it seems highly unlikely for Manchester United to get back into the top 4. I think they are not going to make it this season.  Manchester United really need to start playing as teamwork otherwise I think they will go further down the points table

With only three outstanding matches, Arsenal can cause a fracas in the table by competing with Chelsea if they can win 3 matches, but you know Liverpool's history with the Gunners, they are always difficult to defeat, but based on their recent performance, they can easily bypass Aston Villa and either win 3-1 for Crystal Palace. With these 6 point wins, Arsenal no longer needs to compete with Manchester United for fourth place, the new goal is to compete with Chelsea. I want to see Arsenal finish this season EPL with 3rd place.  Cheesy
