Sarcastic statement right do you ever think that 9ja government will make bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies to become legal?

Do you think the government ever consider or even give of thought to cryptcucrency being an escape from economic problem that os facing the country?

What are your mechanism or statistics that made you think that,  adopting cryptocurrency as this time will give the country an immediate relief from it current economic crisis and what are the possible measures you think that will achieve,  I think,  solving Nigeria's problems,  goes beyond just cryptocurrency adoption because the problem of Nigeria is not money,  but the problem is how to utilize the money for the common goal of all.

Politics is a dirty games and that phrase goes a long way to prove to us how unreliable the words and the promises of a politician shouldn't be taken seriously,  most especially when they are in their campaign period because most cases have proven that,   what the politicians say during campaigns are far from what they do when they eventually win the elections.

This act is the reason why most people have classified politicians as unrepentant liars who may never say anything reliable and can be trusted, in the ideal sense,  is not supposed to be so,  and if there is a working system,  no one will care about the personality of the political but will be focused on the working and efficacy of the system instead of depending of the so-called politicians.

Aside from law enforcement agencies, we also have security threat to be the major risk in making your bitcoin exchange public,  because people are found of seeing those with Bitcoin as being supper rich since the own the magic money but on the other hand,  if you operate online exchange that way your privacy will be highly protected and no one will ever know your worth or what you can afford or not.

Have you ever asked yourself why Binance which happens to be the world's biggest exchange doesn't have a physical office,  this is because office space costs much more in terms of bills and security,  as long as you can perform 100% from online,  it means online.

Yes most of the regulatory compliance casinos that require kyc to play on them are majorly interested in huge transactions such as demand for kyc on amount of $5,000 and above transaction amount,  be it deposits or withdrawal,  such casinos offer the players some level of privacy and decentralization if the gambler operates within that transactions limits,  as also again only when there a suspicious activities from the gambler them also will the casino request them to go through verification process.

I believe that many of the gamblers already know this fact and have settled with it that the casinos in that class,  have the right to request for KYC documents at any point their wish to without any limitation as long as there is a standing order from the beginning that there will be kyc.

I agree with that,  individual differences and ability differs and I have seen some folks who have strict measures that guide they gambling activities for a long term base,  and they formulated the characteristic and have being abiding by it by all means and it result is significantly showing in their way of life since the can be seen not to have overly gone into excessive/uncontrollable gambling, or haven't slid into excessive gambling,  but maintaining a balanced ground and putting everything under check.

But not all persons or individuals can develop such self-restriction and follow-up checks,  many who try that pattern of gambling have mostly fallen into deep addictions at the moment.

From the news or rumours, it shows that Elon Musk may have shown some sign of resentment toward the physical battle with Mark Zuckerberg,  the billionaires suddenly realize that,  it not worth it to engage in physical combats just to prove no point,  and I am sure,  since Elin musk seems to be the older he have a lot at stake compared to. Mark who seems and look younger in terms of age.

I believe also more in the possible fact that, the two social media CEOs Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg are using the public to cash in a media stunt because the discussion has dragged along for a long and it should have happened already if they wanted to.

I agree with the both of you,  and just like I said in my earlier comment,  woman are less risk takers because women don't naturally like spending they money on anything that doesn't give them physical and immediate satisfactions,  and that is why,  women don't take risk like men and if you put a scale to measure the risk tenancy between men vs women,  you will discover that the men will rank higher in risk tendency than the women.

This is a proven fact that many already settled with,  so women's involvement in gambling is also largely affected by this factor we mentioned above.

Sevila performance was really great in today's match against Manchester city who happens to be the star club in the last season and more also one of the leading clubs in the first leg games of this season,  but in tonight match,  Sevila really thought them a great lesson because the held the club down up until the 90 minutes plus was over and also were able to end the match on a draw after a tough penalty shootout,  this performance is indeed what we expect from most of the smaller clubs giving the bigger clubs tough time, this is what excite football fans most,  and it also what makes football an exciting game.

We still have a lot of decentralized casinos that doesn't require any one information or KYC verification before they allow the gambler to play on their casinos and at that, we can choose to only play on such casinos instead of handing over your identity documents to a third-party platform that you can have confidence in the safety of that information and documents.

But if you have any one of such that you trust their systems and reputation and you believe that your data are saved on them,  it means you can easily trust them with your data and if you have nothing to hide you won't have much to border about handing over a few verification doc.

The game have ended in penalty and both clubs are waiting for the time for referee to call the back and at this point I think it has become crucial for both clubs since it now a games of tactic and both are good in penalty shootouts and right now they both rely on lick to win this match since the penalty is all about luck and one team capitalizing on the weaknesses of the other to win.

So good luck to both teams,  because this is the most crucial part of the tournament and a winner must be made.

If them send you any random spam NFT it then means it an attempted scam and one of the ways to dictate such a scam is when they ask you to pay a fee to claim the NFT,  and if your sister has made such payment it then means that there are high chances that she has been scammed,  and my advice is not to send any money to the said wallet.

This method of scamming was used during the ICO and other crypto hypes,  where random coins will be dropped into your wallet without your involvement with the network and in an attempt to claim the spam coins they will demand for a fee,  that few is where their scam lies.

So it is better you ask your sis closely to know what exactly is going on and check the site out,  we need to properly educate those around us so as not to fall into scammers' traps.

At the moment 1:1 Servila seems to be very ready in this match haven't prepared for a bigger club like Manchester city,  if this match ended in a draw,  this shows that Sevilla is going to make a positive performance in this season and La Liga series will witness a lot of smaller clubs outperforming the bigger club.

If Sevilla gives man city this level of opposition football and hasn't been able to have equalize the first goal from Manchester City making the match to stand at 1:1 at almost full time,  this is a big win for Sevilla even though they may not have won the match a draw is still better compared to lose.

Great point you made here mate,  because an addict,  no matter the efforts of the external persons he/she will always do what he finds pleasure in,  I use to have a friend back then as an undergraduate student, who was addicted to gambling and as a student he was always running out of funds despite being the highest monthly incentive from family earner sometime he will use his school fees to gamble and when he becomes so depressing for him,  he will come out and seek for help to avoid gambling sometimes he will take positive steps toward recovering,  but along the line, he will slide back into his addictions again.

This made us to realize that he as an individual wasn't ready to get out of the mess situation he was in,  because when gambling without limit,  it then means that he can gamble everything away such an individual won't have anything to his name.

At some point I prefer not to go public with anything that will announce me as Bitcoin or cryptocurrency user this is because in my country, Bitcoin is not legalized yet but everyone use it just like..... so if you leave in such a country as mine, the best possible measure will be to avoid physical exchange or casinos because this is red spot activities and must be done underground to avoid possible suspicion that could lead to your privacy invasion by overzealous security personals, and just as you have said, having a 22 bitcoins outside is a big risk because the ops become vulnerable to attack I suggest,  the best possible practice should be to leave you wallet keys somewhere accessible, but don't carry wallet apps on your mobile while travelling or outside.

You don't know when you can come across some corrupt policemen who don't know the rule of law coming to search your phone, even though they don't have such right against the citizen, to search any citizen's phone you need a warrant.

Haha that is the reality mate,  people tend to give such advise always and the question that always ring in my head anytime I read such statement as using spare money to either gamble or invest in Bitcoin is a big fallacy because no money is spare money at some point every cent is very important and should not be regarded as spare money.

It's good to say,  use only the money that you can afford to lose to gamble,  at least that is fair enough,  because even if you look closely at it you will know that,  no money is easily lost,  all loss comes with pain in the ass,  but then losing a small personal money is is easy pain, than losing a loaned money.

I understand,  I have noticed technical errors in the past when I want to sell Bitcoin on Binance sometimes the first buy offers on the list are always 3x price of Bitcoin at that time,  just like the first comment speculated,  it could be as a result of a newbie trader opening such position filled with error in the price he offers,  and just like you said I have also tried to cash in on that buy willing to sell for such buyer before and what I noticed mostly is that.

1: the buyer never pays until the time runs out and the order gets is cancelled.

2: some time along the line to place the sell other to such a high bitcoin-priced trader,  the system will pop up an error and the order will not go through.

So I think this is an error pricing from a newbie trader or just a deliberate action from a trader who just wants to spam the order book.

First let me welcome you once again, to our local board and e good the way you first throw the question here,  instead of the larger Bitcointalk community outside our local board reason being that,  you can easily be corrected here and given advice and suggestions that are compatible with your region/country.

First, since Bitcoin is not fully adopted here in Nigeria getting a job that pays you in Bitcoin may not be available because no organizations will take that route of paying staffs salaries in Bitcoin in Nigeria for now unless on a personal arrangement,  e.g we have some members of this local board who run physical business and have started to accept bitcoin as payment so unless you need such services or you provide service to such private business then you can get paid in Bitcoin.

Buying Bitcoin seems truly to be the best,  fast and easiest way to own your first Bitcoin since all you need is to own your wallet, and use an exchange to buy and store.

But aside from all those ways to own Bitcoin,  let me also mention one of the unique and popular ways to own Bitcoin that is popular to many Bitcointalk users both in the local board and the global community, which is through signature campaigns and bounties pay in Bitcoin and among the two signature campaigns have become the most popular and proven way to earn a bit, through your weekly incentives at least no matter what the amount, you will earn some Satoshi if you meet the manager requirements for payment of the week.

                                                  How I own my first Satoshi.

I earned the first bitcoin in my life through a Twitter campaign,  and it wasn't from this forum,  that year in 2015 when Twitter was the mainstream media for many projects,  I followed a user then and after some time he contacted me to that he has a simple job that he will pay me in bitcoin,  then I already have the basic knowledge about bitcoin and I quickly created a blockchain wallet which was one of the popular bitcoin wallets then,  and after the retweet job the user paid me 5$ in Bitcoin,  and that was the first time I feel the air of freedom since it transaction was very fast

I got engaged in a discussion with a friend the other day and when we were talking , he mentioned a new casino he just registered on and their demanding for kyc even before he could make a deposit,  and at that point,  I told him to to go ahead with passing the kyc if he want to use the casino,  because before you create an account on a casino,  you should have already read the terms and conditions to know if their are kyc compliance or not.

So the necessary thing need to be done at first,  to avoid future incontinences such as in the case of ops.

Well I assumed to take this as a misinterpretation of my comment even though I already apologize before I started my comment,  you have the right to make whatever interpretations you wish to but I will put every efforts to make sure I pass the right information and points that I have carefully formulated that I think it will be helpful to you and other members of bitcointalk.

My friend please note that,  English is not our native language and at that we may read wrong meaning to each other comments here in the forum,  which is why many of us both newbies and legendary alike have some misconceptions with ourselves based on diffenrces in our thoughts knowledge and experiences.

It is only in Africa that we think that a critic is an energy just because his thoughts oppose ours,  well my friend I wish you whatever you wish me and wish yourself.

Based on our common goal in Bitcointalk forum which is what connect me and you to involve I a discussion that is why I advised us from Nigerian mostly newbies to get involved in cryptocurrency related discussions and we should try to aligned our threads content with relevant cryptocurrencies information that are provable verifiable and tested.

Because of the need for financial knowledge and and risk management that we need coming from a third-world country like Nigeria,  a few of us are lucky to be exposed to contemporary inventions and innovations that can help us in our poor microeconomic system.

Engaging in cryptocurrency related discussion in the local board will help most of our newbies to build the needed knowledge that will guide them to become quality members of the forum in the future.

I used limited to portray a viewpoint that could consolidate the level of scams, and fake projects in the now vs then, I don't mean to take you out on context that perceives it as if there were no scams in those days.

We have tons of scam projects way back in 2017-2018 down to 2020/and up till now,  but if we compared the ratio of the level and extent that scam projects that have gained popularity between now and then,  it clearly shows that we are faced with more scam in the current time compared to when we don't have new hypes like meme coins,  NFTs and the rest.

Although,  each period comes with its own unique hype projects/developments that end up putting holes in investors' pockets thereby killing investors' appetite and trust in the general crypto ecosystem.
