2881  Economy / Economics / Re: Does People Really Care About Decentralization? on: April 12, 2023, 07:11:00 PM
Decentralized and anonymous are different.

Decentralized means you don't want to be controlled by the government or any other central party. While anonymous means you're don't want everyone know your identity including to be controlled by the government.

If you want to being complete anonymous, make sure you never create ID card, driving license, bank account, don't go too school, don't work under someone company etc because you need to submit your identity Tongue
You got a point because cryptos are decentralized but some of them are not totally anonymous. Again in crypto, there are now regulations (KYC) that are being put in place. This greatly exposes the identity of the people. It's still up to us if we will comply with it or not because there are still fully decentralized sites out there which we can use.

Governments can't totally control the entire crypto world. This is why they are butthurt about it. The last thing that you said is hard. I can't imagine how can someone live or survive without those when those are essential in our life. It's okay to not submit your personal i.d online but we can not avoid it in real life.
Any coins that not decentralized is not a cryptocurrency, that is my view point. Even they are classified as alternative coins but I place them under the category of CBDC. Cryptocurrency is not meant to be centralized and controlled by any authorities because the would control the coin to the extend that the coin can't grow but it will die. As awhead999 placed it, the two different are clear for every bitcoin users to understand. Bitcoin users are unknown because the project was created to be so and decentralized. I think the two are working together.

But as I explained, if rates are not good enough and you are not having good income its best to not buy Bitcoin with a loan.
You are right, Investing in Bitcoin by borrowing is not really a good. Because investing with debt, Bitcoin has the potential of not only profit but also loss. Now if you borrow and invest and suffer a loss, how do you repay your debt? According to me, if one has accumulated wealth, then it is better to invest for him.
Investing in bitcoin is not something you reap in the following day or week, so if one take loan to invest how does he plan to back the loan. Though there are some loans that the lender or the lending company gives to the borrower to pay back after 3 to 4 years but those loans interest rate is very high which you might even used everything you got from the investment to pay the loan and at the end you loss out. And that is no capital and no income. You invest for the lender and not for yourself. So that is why people are advised not to borrow and Invest on bitcoin because the risk that is involved is very high. But if the you have alternative ways to pay back the loan on time then you can borrow and Invest.

The same thing happened to last month, I saw an advertisement on PAGA POS and the equipment that follow the purchasing of the device was attracted, I pm the page and they send me a WhatsApp number to follow up the registration process which I did. The first instruction was to download PAGA Agent  App from Google Play. Which I did, then I have to deposit 45k and screenshot the amount that is inside the account and snt to them with the username to begin the registration. Before I know I got OTP and he said I should send him the code to unlock the POS, I said no, the POS must be open in my front and when I tried to login to my account, PAGA company suspended the account for like 30 minutes because of over attempt login without success. I became to notice that they were trying to hack my account and took away with the money but PAGA was also wise enough to locked the account for over attempt. And I told him he that, "He was just trying to hack my account, it wouldn't work" and this guys didn't allowed the 30 minutes suspension to end as the 30 minutes ends I trying to login another 30 minutes again for about 5 times and I over smart them and login and transfered the money to my first bank account, and told them that they failed band the guys accepted it.

So be careful with your OTP.

The correct message sign seeing when message entered the inbox is okay, I am not saying you should not changed it but there are lot to do. PG there are many things to add in the forum standard tool bar which includes, showing the total post, activities and the Merits at the right side on profile Avatar then merit and reply notification on the tool bar instead instead of recreating the already existing ones, create the news things to have more beautification on the forum software.

Though things like this everyone will have their own opinion to the subject matter because here we are talking about the development of the forum and not making the forum to be stagnant. This is a very good progressive development but what is necessary right which I know is to create the new ones to the already existing ones.
2885  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is on 30k how was your feelings ? on: April 11, 2023, 06:59:17 PM
Yesterday I sold off 0.008 bitcoin for the fear that bitcoin would come down again. In the morning, yesterday bitcoin was $28+ and towards the afternoon period bitcoin was coming down again to $27- so I was afraid that it would come down to $20k again so with that fear I sold it off though not all but to pay bills.
But waking up this morning to see that bitcoin was $30k, I was shocked and excited. And I also have the mode of regret which I said to myself that if I wished I kept it till today. That is why having the fear to invest in bitcoin is very bad. Always have the confidence and faith in the investment. Those who don't have faith always loss out and regret later.
2886  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and dollar on: April 11, 2023, 06:46:13 PM
Well I am not in dollar using state so I can't really tell. But I believed it will affect it indirectly because the rising and falling of the dollar affect the fiat currency and bitcoin must be converted or changed to the fiat currency before spending. So if dollar comes down your country currency will rise and when dollar rise you country currency will comes down though all depends on the country's economic strength. If the country economy is weak the it will affect it badly.
2887  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: we don't have proper education on bitcoin. on: April 11, 2023, 06:34:41 PM
The problem is the education but the leaders with their policies, if the leaders adopt bitcoin and also accept not to be taught in the education system then things will be easy for the upcoming generation to understand. Even as that you can still gather some faithful ones to be teaching if only they are ready to learn.

Let me start from the family level, if there are five members in the family, it will be one or two that would fully understand bitcoin and Invest on it all the rest would be passerby on bitcoin. That also applied to the larger society.

Unijoin is a scam service.
I lost money. DON'T USE THIS SERVICE!!!
How? You can't just come here and say you were scammed, tell us what happened then we will look into the case.

Please could you post your review instead of only saying that you've been scammed?

This is only a useless post. As icopress said, I would suggest to share your letter of guarantee to an high trusted user (such as LoyceV, or Hhampuz).
Exactly, the accuser has to make his own review on the site and what conspired the losing of the coin. I am thinking that he deposited the coin in a wrong mixer address. Or he didn't follow the procedure very well.
2889  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Come and mine Bitcoin in Africa. on: April 10, 2023, 06:52:38 PM
Op I appreciate you for this statistics and the good information given to the world. Africa is a good continent to invest on mining business. We really needs mining experts to come and mine in Africa. Africa is also blessed with natural resources which can be used for the Mining plants. Some of such resources has been mentioned by the OP like, Seas, And Rivers, Waste, Crude oil and sun which can be used to to generate electricity.

In the area of mining, electricity is the major factor and the aspect of electricity has been tackle then every other things become secondary. Op once again thank you for this awareness.
2890  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What your opinion? on: April 10, 2023, 06:30:37 PM
I really was having this question in mind to ask if it will advisable for somebody who want to start up trying doing online investment and chooses trade as perfect for him or her. What will be your advice for such person as a beginner into online Invertement. I want to hear your opinions if it right or wrong despite it risk,so what your opinion or advise .
What you don't know is always a beginning to everyone. And one must learn it to start from somewhere, even though you are a beginner and if you can trade well then I advise you to go ahead but be careful with the trading. Don't use big amount of money at the initial time. Even though you can trade well use like $10-20 to know how the trading will look like then subsequent times you can top up the amount gradually in every successful trading.

But if you are not good in the trading as a beginner then I will also advise you to Invest on bitcoin and continue your learning on trading until you master the trading then you can switch to the trading.
2891  Economy / Economics / Re: Social media, now looking more for business than for socializing. on: April 10, 2023, 06:05:28 PM
Do you think social media is now becoming more a place for business than socializing, Could it be as a result of digitalization and things moving online or more people now starting business online because of need to somehow generate income or another source of income for self to survive the economic situations which is becoming tougher?


Social media is still active in the area of socialization. Though the business aspect is taking over the socialization but the business can not be very effective without the socialization. As of 2011-2015 business hubs where not much as it is today. Now social media is full with advertisement with pages, and business hubs.

The digitalization is also part of the recent increase of online businesses. And also the cashless policy introduced by some countries.
2892  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how much money is considered as "invest only what you can afford to lose" on: April 10, 2023, 05:53:28 PM
I wish you read all the comments make here, the "phrase" you mentioned is very easy to understand and make users have explained it for you to understand. That is why I said that you should read all the comments for more understanding, because everyone explained it on their own way of understanding.

Like the way I understand that statement is that, "you should invest the money that you are not using at that period of time, money that you wanted to lavish for girls, or any other thing is not useful to you, so if such money got lost it won't pain you much. Because it is not in the budget of the day, weekly, monthly and year spending. So you can just use that money to buy bitcoin and Invest in it. 

And the amount to invest is not certain, it can be $10, or $900,000 all depends on the amount you have at the moment.

2896  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin mixing is NOT money laundering, per se on: April 08, 2023, 07:46:54 PM
In my opinion Bitcoin Mixing has nothing to do with money laundering, since bitcoins are fungible. Can somebody here see if there are already cases where there was an investigation opened against somebody who has run an Mixing service or somebody who used a mixer?
And even what happened to Chipmixer is totally different from what the advocates that  are saying, because of what happened to Chipmixer they took all mixers as scam or money launders and that is wrong, you can't accused an innocent Mother because of what the son did out. Everyone had their own race. And from what I read and understand Chipmixer company (the company itself) was not involved but the owner of the company was the money launderer, and the company was seized because the owner was involved in the crime.
2897  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Bad Economy on: April 08, 2023, 07:28:13 PM
Some investors view Bitcoin as a potential hedge against economic uncertainty, particularly inflation or currency devaluation. This is because Bitcoin's limited supply and decentralized nature make it resistant to some of the economic forces that affect traditional currencies and financial systems.
it's important to note that Bitcoin, like any investment can be subject to volatility and other risks. It's always advisable to conduct thorough research and consult with financial experts before making any investment decisions.
Not some investors but all investors  who use bitcoin see bitcoin has a very important investment tool or asset against the Fiat Economy. Bitcoin can not stop inflation. It can only stop the devaluation of the National  Economy. Bitcoin. I don't think the limited supply of bitcoin has anything to do with the traditional economy.

It is nice to ask a business guru instead final expert, those who are already in the investment system are the best people to inquire how the system works, there are some financial experts that not in the field work but only on the theory aspect so if you asked them they might mislead you.
2898  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: (Bitcoin payment success) 3-month statistics on: April 08, 2023, 07:02:16 PM
OP your story is interesting, I have not seen any shop around me accept bitcoin and I am eager to buy things with bitcoin in my locality. You tried for accepting bitcoin in your shop. The thing that affect people that have accepted bitcoin in the businesses is the awareness of the people. A large number of people are not aware and don't even know how to use bitcoin so the patronizing process is very much limited. I went to a city to buy 43 inches TV and I asked the manager if he does accept bitcoin and he told me he has not even hear the name bitcoin. So I bought it with Local Fiat.
2899  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: April 08, 2023, 06:38:12 PM
Nayib Bukele creatively invites you to move to El Salvador, while naming such advantages as "the lowest crime rate in America, no shootings and robberies, excellent coffee, beaches and weather", it seems to me that he exaggerates about the low crime rate, because recently the largest prison in America for 40k prisoners was opened in El Salvador.                                                                                                     

I've also come across this news recently, but establishing a 40,000 maximum capacity prison in El-Savador does not mean there have not been a reduced crime rate in El-Savador, i want to believe nit would have been a long term plan that had been in place when things aren't good enough before the total turnaround we bow had with El-Savador in terms of crime rate, just take it as a long time plan that probably had undergone through a MoU that such should be sited in El-Savador for some reasons that may not be clear to us as the public, with that yet El-Savador is well conducive for a good living now because tourist wouldn't have wanted to visit the country if the crime rate hadn't been dealt with, the Bukele administrative knows what it planned when they make everyone enjoy both fiat and bitcoin currency for payment while including every other bitcoin attracting developments in the country to boost it economy, no more violence as before in El-Savador because bitcoin has help reduced many means liable for citizens to partake in such.
Prison never eliminate crime, and that reminds me about Lucky Dube song "I am a Prisoner", because of the crime rate in South Africa, the government promised not to build schools but only prisons yet the crime rate increasing day and night. What am I trying to say is that prisons never stop crime either it increases crime, because if the El Salvador government does not address poverty, hunger, unemployment there must be crimes in the country. Because many bad boys uses crime to survive and many of them even prefer to stay in the prison than the society because in the prison foods are provided, house are provided and they even make money in the prison than out . Crime is not hard to eliminate in the country if only the government fullfil all his promises then the rate of crime will drastically reduce.
2900  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Collection Thread] Series and films in which Bitcoin (or Altcoins) appear on: April 08, 2023, 06:18:13 PM
Upon all the movies that I watched, I have not heard any actor or actress made mention of bitcoin or have I seen any sign of bitcoin in a movie until today in a movie title "Sabinus". When the main actor met a wizard to do something for him and the wizard asked the boy to pay him with bitcoin, and the boy sent him the bitcoin and the wizard game him a magic leave. So I was astonished by hearing bitcoin in a movie in my first time.
