No matter how hard you try, poor people can be difficult to persuade to accept and invest in bitcoin, according to my crypto knowledge and people's enlightenment. They vehemently criticize whatever you show them or introduce them to.


How can you blame someone who barely eat 2 times meal in a day or once without proper dieting when he is skeptical to invest in bitcoin. The less rich (I don't want to say poor) will find it difficult to invest and tie up money that was suppose to be used for other home front issues like especially feeding. Some homes barely feed daily so you don't expect such homes to have left out money to put in "cage" to mature. In fact such homes will easily be convinced to go into agriculture because they understand that terrain very well and not bitcoin.


They are the ones who constantly inquire about how you manage your funds in order to live during this economic downturn.


Yes because they wish it was something they can do. Usually poor people are not risk takers. They only concern about the immediate needs but the rich plan for tomorrow or future and coupled with having loose money to invest. This is the reason for the rich to keep being rich.

Crypto gambling keeps growing faster than Fiat gambling, it's good to see that the masses now favours crypto for gambling than using Fiat but the only issue I have with crypto is the security, data breach and co so I want to know if hiding my IP on a crypto gambling website is secure? I am going with a premium sub of express VPN. If you think otherwise please tell me.

You need to understand that with centralised system you can't hid your IP for the casino. Have you considered if the casino rules and regulations forbids you to hide such plus if they require you to submit KYC then hidding of VPN or paying of premium sub of it is already defeated from beginning.
3023  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: December 25, 2022, 03:21:33 PM
You are considering how much to win when your bet is right but you are not really looking at the percentage that you are going to lose if the best fails, although you said it regarding betting as you can afford to lose. But for me I don't focus on what winning amount I'm expecting but the percentage in the loses incase I don't win. Betting with 1% of income is still on the sensible angle and that makes you not greedy because greed makes a gambler to take irrational decision.
3024  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If your friend would tell you this... on: December 25, 2022, 02:37:29 PM
What I will do is to make sure that the friend is with me when I will do the betting for him. I won't allow him to give me the money to bet in his absence but he will be there to see for himself even though he has given me the power to bet for him because it is a game of luck so that he won't think I cheated on him. So about the games I will go for, I'm going to bet on dice game. I will also bet on soccer but I will select very few games not higher than 3 games at a bet or I can bet single games to reduce the chances of not winning because now that I have such huge money, I will rely on adding more money per bet.

i have a poker way to make money i will show u it fully if we can work together, not alot of money is needed , why i need money? because i was in debt im making but small amounts we can scal this up i would be fully transparent lets make this money if ure interested send me your discord

Simple advise for you regarding to pay your debt from playing gamble, so guess you have some money you want to partner and work together with someone? Use that money to play by yourself using that good poker way you know to make money then you can increase your capital gradually and you won't need any more investor to work together. Gambling is not easy and to depend on it for continuous profit is not easy. I don't know who will be ready to partner and work together with you.
3026  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin Die or Pump Up in 2023? on: December 24, 2022, 10:16:30 PM

Not sure whether Bitcoin will pump or not in 2023, but for me personally I will continue to hold Bitcoin even though people say that in 2023 there will be a recession and the price of Bitcoin will be corrected but I am ready for this, because in a worse case I have experienced , especially for the upcoming 2023. Moreover, I also don't really care what Elon Musk says about BTC and cryptocurrencies, because I don't want my investment in BTC to depend on what he says.

Elon musk is not an opinion builder in bitcoin matter so investors don't need to rely on what he says anyway but you can only be guided to know when to buy or sell. He is making an assumptive price marketing based on what he thinks but sometimes it goes against the assumption. For now bitcoin is riding on the wave of the season.
3027  Economy / Speculation / Re: Twitter Poll: Where will Bitcoin end the year? VOTE HERE! on: December 24, 2022, 06:32:09 PM
For the last week of the year, I don't expect any kind of magic to happen because nothing spectacular is in the offing to happen anytime this year. So the price will pretty much hang in circles to the current price and playing between $17k to $20k even down to the first quarter of next year before a major change can be expected. I don't see any thing happening now, when I expected it last month to first week of this month because of the expected rush for the season but it didn't happen and to being 24th is almost rounding off the year.
3028  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: World cup highest goal scorers update discussion on: December 24, 2022, 11:13:10 AM

But these chances comes in life time. However seems like Mbappe won't be playing more world cup - I read it online that he has faced so much discrimination after he lost the world cup - don't know if that is correct or not.
But Mbappe single handedly carried out the final the criticism is not correct.

Criticism and discrimination are usual at the end of tournament especially when the fans of a team expect their side to win. France was the defending champion that got to the finals , so the fans saw themselves at the verge of picking the trophy again back to back which will be an outstanding record maybe that is what they were looking at. But they need Mbappe in the next world cup and I don't think Mbappe still has the desire to play. The fans can be over reacting if that is true anyway.

I don't know how manage that the redesign Naira is already having fake notes when it barely got launched. This can tell us that the system have been compromised alot that it is difficult to get things done. Well I am yet to see the notes and feel it before I could know and master those features but the redesigned and the old that is being phased array has almost same resemblance.

Can I confidently choose Crypto World to safely store all my hard earned wealth?
Like the bank?


Choose bitcoin if you want to and not just any cryptocurrency to avoid what your fears are. The fear of the unknown is really to be upheld in cryptocurrency investment. Don't invest without proper investigation, bitcoin is decentralised and can't be manipulated like some other coins so if you invest in it, you can only have reduced value in price during bear market but you will recover during bull but you are sure no exchange will delist bitcoin. Some altcoins are being delisted from exchanges because of lack of volume and no use case.
3031  Economy / Economics / Re: Hope for cryptocurrency in Nigeria. on: December 22, 2022, 03:29:17 PM

What this proposed bill wants to achieve is to reduce the autocratic powers of the CBN and transfer more powers to the SEC and the National Assembly The CBN should focus more on cryptocurrencies as a means of exchange, while SEC would handle the the sector as an investment option. This is a welcomed development because SEC is more friendly to cryptocurrencies than the CBN, in fact the former recognizes crypto assets are securities  .


You are right because lately the regulatory body as sec is pushed to the background and nothing is heard of it in Nigeria rather CBN is taking all the shine and I guess that is because the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele is at the corridor of power. He whines and dines with who is who in the APC government and so he gets every approval he needs from the president. But now that the legislative body is trying to wake up to their responsibility and define roles, lets see if sec will take up the mantle. It is only reasonable that there should no restrictions to trading of cryptocurrency and bitcoin in Nigeria and the youth are allowed to take the same chance that other youths has. The economy will begin to have positive vibes in investment.


I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Nigerian community for the creation of their local forum.

On behalf of the Nigerian users on the platform, I welcome your congratulatory message. I say a big thank you.

Kylian Mbappe scores his 9th World Cup goal 😳

🇫🇷 Mbappe - 9
🇦🇷 Messi - 9
🇪🇸 Villa - 9
🇮🇹 Baggio - 9


From the record of the all time goal scorers in the world cup, kylian Mbappe has the chance to top the record in his life time because he has the opportunity to come for more world cups at least two more, he is still young to play but Messi may not return for it but I'm sure he is satisfied with the records to his name.

Note: I hope you know this is not the complete record for the all time scorers of the world cup. This is the list here

https://www.goal.com/en-ng/amp/news/who-is-the-world-cups-all-time-top-goalscorer/blt3f14b4b579a0c6f5


The best scorers of the world football championships can be seen in this list:
https://www.worldfootball.net/alltime_goalgetter/wm/tore/1/

So, Klose is currently in first place with 16 goals, but Messi with 13 goals and Mbappe with 12 goals are very close to him.
Messi even scored 4 goals out of 13 from penalties.
I read somewhere that Messi stated that he will play in another world cup, if Argentina becomes the world champion. So, Messi will most likely have a good chance to become the top scorer of the world football championships in 4 years.
However, given that he is still a very young and talented striker, and that he will almost certainly appear in 2-3 more world championships, my prediction is that in 8 years Mbappe will become the best scorer in the world football championships and that record will stand for a very long time.


I think the difference between the link you shared and the one I did was the inclusion of penalty kicks scored but that is not what point I was trying to make. I was trying to talk about goals scored in the time of play and not penalty awarded. Penalty is like a free goal awarded for the player to take the chance of scoring. Freekicks are difficult obviously.

However it will make sense if Messi will come back in Canada, Mexico and USA world cup next tournament. Argentina should be coming as defending champion and that means it is an automatic appearance on the world cup and no competition about that.

He should still be less than 40 years and should be fit for the game, I think the oldest world cup players so far is Essam El-Hadary from Egypt

3034  Economy / Economics / Re: Central Bank of Nigeria to limit cash withdrawals on: December 21, 2022, 09:04:56 PM
[quote author=Alpha Marine

This limit is not completely limiting, according to the article there is a 5-10% fee for withdrawing more than the conditions and that I don't think is a problem for the company.

The limit is going to have a challenge on the Nigerian masses because it is barely limiting individuals from having 50% of cash to run the home. Nigeria is still predominantly a country not urbanized like the technological advanced countries so it is going to be difficult for the market women that do day to day selling a problem. The older businesses that are not in the line of internet banking will also have big challenge. The 5% charge for wanting to overburden the rules is still high.
3035  Economy / Economics / Re: The link between Bitcoin and the economy on: December 21, 2022, 12:44:42 PM
Many people underestimate the influence of Bitcoin on the economy, they think that bitcoin is only speculative so that it does not have a positive impact on the economy, if we look at the facts in the market, of course this is wrong, the fact that the increasing number of new rich people from the Bitcoin business is a fact that cannot be denied, A few years ago people worked at Mining but now many work as traders.

The impact of bitcoin like you said here is helpful to individual and that adds up to the economic investment that would have been missing if bitcoin was not in existence. Bitcoin hodlers have more advantage to multiple their finances through hodling for longer time to catch up with volatility. Now that halving is around the corner, it is another time to double what you have and it proceed goes back to the economy through real investment with families that get financial help from hodlers

3037  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin high prediction 2023? on: December 19, 2022, 07:58:26 PM
the bitcoin trend will usually go up after the previous year it sank, if we look at the trend for several years there seems to be the same pattern, for example a 4 year trend, a 2 year trend and so on, I'm sure that in 2023 the price can rise again, there may be a big case that creates panic like LUNA and FTX but it won't have much effect anymore, and it's possible the price could touch 3x from the current price.
Hopefully what we want can be achieved in the next year so we can get big profits again like before. But before that, we must be patient and keep waiting because market conditions have not improved, and it looks like the market will experience another correction. And hopefully, there won't be any more negative news like before so as not to provoke investors to panic so that the bitcoin price doesn't fall any deeper than now. We can only prepare ourselves by buying more bitcoins at this time because the price is still low.

The altcoins bull is yet to come like it did around 6 years ago. Investors have been expecting this to happen and maybe it may be in the next halving season. However what I notice about this market is that at the right time the market will take a turn either for bull or bear and it is not really about fud or panic. There have been two incidents in the history of the market to support my assertion so far. The Chinese ban in bitcoin in the past didn't stop bitcoin rally in 2017 and 2020, the covid-19 pandemic year rather gave the cryptocurrency market more recognition and that is why we saw another ATH. So hodling is good at this bear time.
3038  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: More Regulation Incoming! on: December 19, 2022, 05:13:47 PM
I don't like regulations, not only about privacy, but I fear that regulations will slow down the growth of the market. I believe most people enter the market because they like the volatility of cryptocurrencies, but once there is regulation, I fear that will disappear along with our privacy. Look at the stock market or the forex market, they are regulated, and they become more stable because they are tightly managed. Regulations are inevitable, but we can only hope they won't be too strict with us.

I don't know the kind of regulation that will be done on bitcoin itself because I don't see that coming. Countries can only try that people don't buy bitcoin but how will they know who is buying in decentralised exchange? They can only regulate centralised exchange and ask for KYC on customers and they monitor the exchange and the customer through that but I don't think total regulation like the forex is going to work.

It is true that the just concluded world cup has two players who contested for the cup and highest goals scored and no doubt PSG is one of the best clubs. Maybe this has happened by chance that the two players are from one club. Messi is lucky maybe if he was still in Barcelona the cup would not get to him in his lifetime.
3040  Economy / Economics / Re: Tesla’s stock prices dropping fast on: December 19, 2022, 02:46:57 PM
When it comes to management, it's actually not that simple, and I don't think the price is falling just because of the company's attention being diversified. I believe Musk laid off about 7500 workers globally, but that decision seems very harsh to me given the numbers, and one thing I admire about Elon is that he will still bounce back. In addition to being a businessman, Musk also knows how to play the game, so I think the company's 20% decline in market cap is a sign of reinforcement for Elon.

I think he has a good plan for twitter and he is interested to put in fresh work force and maybe this is misinterpreted by the media and that could be leading to the stock of Tesla to be dropping. Surely he will come back stronger and he is a media entertainer, he will come up with some media gigs that will increase the relevance of his companies.
