At least, those of us who think Bitcoin will be the death of fiat will have a rethink now. As time goes on, certain misconceptions of our hearts are brought to the fore and corrected. This is why we should objectively (and not subjectively) access all situations at all times.

The growth of cryptocurrency should be a synergy between it and the bank. I believe the expectations that one will lead to the extermination of the other is a misplaced thought.

I expect more banks to join in the imitation of what Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken has done.

Despite how horrible and inhumane the world has become in this generation, I still believe there are a few good men. And trusted ones too. Leaving your diary to chances that someone may randomly get access to it after your demise and then harvest your hidden treasure is a wild goose chase. That someone may see it but may not make out head or tail from it if they aren't crypto inclined. To them, it may look like a set of jargons. I know it's difficult to trust someone this day but that will be half solved if one has a spouse. Take the shot. After all, if you can trust someone with your life by allowing them cook your meal; it shouldn't be a big deal trusting them with a set of words.

Today won't go into the next without me wishing my colleagues at BestChange the best of a new year and many more that we couldn't achieve in 2021. More so, I thank Bestchange and its managerial team for giving me an opportunity on this campaign even when I had that set back. I'm happy to be here. Let's have a more prosperous year. Felicitations!

Yes, it's an exciting place to start from. I think anyone who is genuinely interested in Bitcoin will most likely find this forum first if they googled Bitcoin before Trump got off any of his speeches calling CNN fake news. It was a similar situation with me in 2017, though no one introduced me to this forum. I stumbled on it by stroke of luck. I guess I got to it through coinmarketcap and on Bitcoin's social or something. Well, it has been a great story and learning process since then. All you need do OP is to throw in your heart to it and you will surely be glad you did.

It's really funny how grownups with functional brains won't heed to reasoning. It's amusing to say the least. Again, I think that type of deceit only gets noobs. Well, maybe it also gets certain old members who've allowed their greed get the better part of their reasoning. To make matters worse, proponents of Pi won't hesitate to be masturbatory at the least of any positive news from that project. Well, it's just a matter of time before they realized they're barking the wrong tree like those who supported Onecoin and The Billion Coin (TBC).

Lol...Guy man don sharpely enta owa hood! I trust wetin you fit do because I know you na correct guy. No forming. I go knack you colele wata for body even though harmattan dey now. Your case prove dat thing wey owa people dey talk sey, "if persin nor talk, im chi nor go talk." Oyibo dey call am, "A closed mouth is a closed destiny."

@Pokapoka124, your unban na d best new year gift wey dis forum throw give us. E even bi like new year eve bash, I dey tell you. I just dey imagine your happiness like dis, I know sey honey go be like bitter cola to compare am. Glad you're back. Oya, sharpely go tidy your posts and check for anyone wey still carry coronavirus.

Happy New Year my people. We hope for a better crypto year dis 2022. Make all owa shitcoins dem hit jackpot oh 🤪!

You're spot on, just like my thought too in that post. I know that a lot of people who get a second chance come out more improved, and in most cases they help warn or prevent others from failing into the same trap or fault as they did. It's the same way I believe OP will.

Your case is a familiar one to me. I've a few friends I introduced to this forum who've not been active. At some point I got annoyed that I merely wasted my time and resources on them, considering the fact that one had to pay that "evil registration" fee for them. However, when I read stories like yours I get encouraged that one day they could return to the forum.

If you keep writing this way with irrelevance, ranking up will be a forgone alternative.

I honestly hope the moderators do too. We've missed you at our local hangout, I personally do. I pray your ban is overturned because I know giving you a second chance will afford you an opportunity to be a better forum user. Compliments of the season too to you, bro.

How greatly you've improved, really. I followed the link to the thread and observed how you struggled with quotes. Now you're an expert at it, and not making unnecessary block quotes. It shows how most people will improve at something when given the opportunity. Glad you're still here with us.

@SatoPrincess, na persin you be. Thanku for your concern for my matta. I dey wella, na just small small distractions outside d forum dey do me. Dis season sef com join bodi with the distractions. But no shaking sha, I still dey. By God's grace 2022 go betta for us all pass 2021.

Bounty hunters don't put extra efforts to follow or monitor projects they promote and then comment on it  if it's not made compulsory for them as a basic requirement. I guess that best explains the reason for the draught in comments on the thread.

I'm excited to be among those who hit the bullseye for last week. Thanks BestChange.

This is why I advise that before buying into any project, one should check its social media; especially its telegram group. That's the easiest way I guage a project to know if it's healthy or not before I go for further perusal. I hate to waste my time on needless ventures. https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/gas-dao has no telegram handle. I stopped at that and didn't bother to check its twitter page to know if it has any at all. It's what it's – an obvious scam.

😅😅, that made me laugh too.

OP, I understand the angle you're taking the whole thing from. I feel your excitement, and I know it's genuine. Many a graduate who would've been jobless and penniless in my country are gainfully engaged online now because of what Bitcoin has exposed to us for a decade and they're earning from it. Apart from Bitcoin signature campaigns here which have afforded many families a kind of income source, there's also the indirect ripple effect which has dovetailed into other online crypto jobs and skilled people are earning from them. Most times when I reminiscent on the person of Satoshi, I feel he's truly a blessing to the world. He's truly a phenomenal.

That's my position too if we agree on the accusation of the indirect manipulation of the market. Bitcoin is a decentralised and community driven crypto and what people take to be manipulation is when whales sell off. They say it as if whales should seek anyone's permission before disposing their coins. If whales sell off and micro hodlers decide to go on a panic sale, no one should see that as manipulation or control. Maybe not as direct effect of manipulation. We can take into cognizance the aftermath of their action, even if they decide to rebuy from the crash. That isn't controlling the Bitcoin market at all. I think it should be something along the line of knowing one's business and when to take advantage of it.

I don't twerk my indicators once I have them set. I just let them roll. But I can try out new ones from time to time once I find anyone trending or hyped ones . Otherwise, I feel there's no need changing indicators if they're still winners. Maybe it could be that I dwell more on "leading indicators" than lagging ones. If it's leading, they consist of lines that draw basically support and resistance that don't repaint. So, in all ramifications I seldom change indicators. I like to keep my charts simple and not cluster them.

These things ( I mean deciding on coins to hodl) are really subjective by my calculations. Most people seem to emphazisi hodling Bitcoin like there aren't others who aren't hodling a single unit of it. I've a friend who feels Bitcoin is overrated and thus doesn't hodl any. A few hours ago, the friend shared with me a post by someone else which I'm quoting here, “Don't be emotionally attached with any of the tokens...If you must fall in love, then in my opinion fall in love with Ethereum, Bitcoin and ADA.” In my response, I told him I only hodl Bitcoin and didn't care about the others in that post.

It's the same way that what one calls a credible crypto today may be a shitcoin tomorrow; not necessarily because it has a bad team or product but because a lot of people tend to judge tokens from price level and not workability and utility. For a long time now, I've been hugged on a virtually unknown coin called Cartesi. It's a crypto I know will do extremely well.

We reacted overwhelmingly the way we did because the present world has been literally taken over by immorality, lies, deceits and all manners of wickedness. If this same incident had happened in 1986 or 1996, believe me, no one would've baited an eyelid. You did well as you didn't allow the temptation of greed overcome your action. After all, you had nothing to lose as a newbie if you had absconded and ceased to post here any more and I think that's where that element of surprise of you returning the cash came from among users here. Kudos!

Ideally, yes we don't have to find any reason for being good. Being good should be a way of life. But the sad reality is that we only can give what we have. An immoral mind can't exhume morality. The user was able to return the $1000 because he didn't know how NOT to return it. He acted on his conscience.
