3581  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My worst day in gambling on: October 04, 2022, 04:03:45 PM
My was on the 27 May, 2000. That faithful day was our local market day which I gave money to my GF to buy some food stuff for in my house. According to her narration, as she was going to the market, she saw a magic card player mixing the cards and asked the gamblers to pick out the particular card he showed them and said, she saw the particular card and bet to pick out the card after when the man has finished mixing them. And she picked the wrong one. She still play again, hoping to win her money back but she empty her purse and came back late in the day. And when she came there was no food stuff in her hands when I asked her what happened then she told me the story. O men that day. I hold myself not to beat her. But it was painful.

You are a core gambler,I mean you have a reserved or particular time that you use in gambling everyday, just the way some of us are,we even add gambling expenses to our monthly budget because we gamble to entertain ourselves.
  A new government came into power, and enacted a law that nobody should gamble anymore in the country i.e gambling becomes illegal. Will you just behave yourself and abide to this new law that is depriving you from having fun as a good citizen ? or will you ignore the law and keep on gambling since there are online casinos that you can gamble secretly with your mobile phones with out no one knowing ?

No reasonable government will ban gambling. And in this present days where gambling has been shoot in the space for any and every interested person to go online and play the kind of games and place bet . And also no casino gambling center in a country exist without paying the government a tax. There are various tax paid by the this betting platforms or centers. And the government make revenue from them. And if the government enact a law to prohibit gambling in the country, it will bounce back to them and it will affect them more the gamblers. Because government play gambling more even Politics is a duty game. That means Politics is a "Game".

As it is, for government to ban gambling, indirectly, you are saying nobody should use digital devices. Gambling has taken different dimension from the ascent  world.

This is one of the ascent games that still an existence. I loved this game in those days, we used to play it in the fishing camps to pass time. most time we played it in the day time then when night we switched over to story telling and puzzle falk tales. We calls it "WATT" and that is the name written at the back of the paper.
Historically there are lot of games played in the olding days that are not played in this 21st century. This new generational children have forgotten most of the ascent games unless the child come from a family that loves ascent things. There was gamble we used to played in 90s. We Bet on 5 Cabin Biscuits that is one person would eat the 5 biscuits and another person to run or paddle a canoe across the river and come back again. And saying was that. "THE PERSON WHO WAS EATING BISCUITS WOULD NOT FINISHED IT  BEFORE THE PERSON WHO IS RUNNING OR PADDLING WOULD RETURN". And really if the person could finished eaten the biscuits the other person has won so he would take the bet.

A professional gambler will always try to control himself because they can do it and has learned much about it. But it is not easy to become a professional because there are many things that we have to learn before we can become professional gamblers. The key to not becoming addicted is always to control ourselves. Even if you are a beginner but have that ability, you don't have to worry about becoming addicted to gambling.

Someone that has played gambling from childhood to adulthood and became a professional gambler in the gambling field would not be an easy thing for that person to control his motion (feeling) to gambling because he has taken gambling as a means of earning a living so you will see that person in the gambling hall every time. Those guys have taken gambling as their daily work or offices. They stay there to argue to disagree to agree.





If we had other things to do, I don't think we would think about gambling in our spare time because we would want to try to do other things that are not related to gambling. And yes, I agree we should change our mindset so we don't think about gambling because it will make us more curious. Perhaps going on vacation when we have free time can relieve or anticipate the thought of gambling.

From the part I bolded, all depends on the country, if the country does not value the teaming youths then they dont have any other option than to gamble. Example. In my country I have heard youths saying that the recent bet halls or companies established by different agencies from gambling industries have created job for them. Some of these  boys enter these bet halls in the morning and returned back in the evening. They stay there to play bets argue watch footballs. Since there is no government work to do. In my country there is no industries but there services and service do not employ the youths.
3586  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: worldexpertminer.com on: October 03, 2022, 09:17:28 PM
Anyone have anything good or bad to say about this website? Legit? Scam?


Oh God, where is the website you are talking about. This one is a real newbie. Mate you would have dropped the website like https://www.worldexpertminer.com/home here for easy access, instead of using it only on the title of the thread. Now we have to go to google to search for it before coming back to make comprehensive comment. The way I look at that site, it is a platform of third hands traders, whereby you sign up and deposit bitcoin and the developers of the forum would used it to trade for you. And at that process anything can happened. Might not able to withdraw your funds or the website would be under maintenance until your funds are diverted. Therefore, if I am the one that will recommend a platform for you to trade I will say use Binance or Remitano these are open source platforms for trading.

Legendary is the last Rank in the forum but it is not the end of the user in the forum and it is not the end of the user to earn merits, from the merit dashboard I came to understand that merit earning is limited. Though I was not here was merit system had not been introduced and from the small knowledge or a glance of information gotten from somewhere but forgotten as of then bounty hunters were more and the forum was hot like fire whereby banning and deleting was talk of the day. So when the merit system was introduced most of those users at that time were giving the opportunities to rank up by theymos. Those who could not express themselves very well were having the same grace to rank so coming to this dispensation of knowledge. Those who were bounty hunter (shitposters) become redundant and those who were in main forum boards to contribute to knowledge enjoy the forum now. Yes not every legendary ranks can contribute to knowledge but I believe all receive merits from one board to another. Some receive their merits from their local boards.

Base on previous predictions I was thinking that October would be the month bitcoin would rise up because the predictions said, bitcoin will rise up before the end of this year, 2021. And also from the previous years September was used as the worst month but its like this year is going to be different. My thinking now would be diverted to the worst so that it would not come as a surprise.
In no 1, pension fund is always a problem in some countries... bank of England can not do anything because pension matter is not today's matter, even though they (Bank of England) key into the matter without the government instruction.
No 2. The great depression was one of the worst economic disaster period in Europe in the year 1929. Industries and farm lands were destroyed by the wind. Any country that faces backruptcy should take a drastic step to stop it before it becomes too late.
No 3, dollar is one of the issues (problem) countries face in the world inflation- If China can handle of maintain the strike against dollar their economy will be one of the best economy in the world.
No 5, US might join the war if Russia strikes the major cities...and that might lead to world war.
3589  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can bitcoin be used to clean environment and reduce waste?? on: October 03, 2022, 02:10:06 PM
There are some questions or threads we see here mables me. What bitcoin has to do with environment again? Bitcoin is an online or a digital currency which can be used to buy goods and services and if the  service providers accept it. so I don't see any connection between the two. But if you understand bitcoin you would not ask such question. What your Fiat currency can do bitcoin can also do if only the environmental service agencies will accept it then bitcoin can be used.
3590  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: October 02, 2022, 09:23:00 PM
Rollbit site is nice. The first statement I saw when I visited site was the
Quote
TEAM UP TO BEAT ROLLBIT TOGETHER
with animated characters sitting in a chair and raising hands and facing the site visitors with their backs. As I saw the bolded write up, my mind quickly went back to the survival of the fittest story. That is in the state of nature Where every the strongest survived but if the lazy ones gang up and come together to beat up one strongest man, he will die, because they are many and he is only one man standing. So even the state of nature, no one was strongest and no one was lazy. Therefore, if Rollbit think he is strong to defeat others always as it is said from the description, they can really team up and beat him. Though it will be a nice day for the game.
3591  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos Exclusion of Chicken Invaders: the Xmas version (My favourite) on: October 02, 2022, 08:50:30 PM
Man I'm not sure if I'm the crazy one or OP is. I also looked up the game and it's just a 2D game shoot them up. Developer is InterAction.

Why would a casino publish a game that doesn't have any betting element on it? I know in the past some casinos designed their own games, and you collect points to convert into cash, but... asking why casinos don't have chicken invaders is like asking why they don't have Pacman or Call of Duty.

No one is crazy here, it is all for fun. I thought the game is a 3D game though from the initial stage of the game it looks like 2D but when you play the game to level four and above then you would see that the game has 3D features in it. If the developers are interaction then it is a good news. They can place a betting element in it or keep it on the first page of the casino as a free game for visitors.

Like you said, @OP, every single game in the world must not be on the casinos, what I have to say is that though some gamble for fun, most gamble for profit, and looking at the profit aspect of it, games listed on the casino sometimes doesn't really matter, but the ability to play, win and make money is what's most important...

A simple question that will explain the above in details is... Assume chicken invaders game gets listed on the casinos, you consistently play it for a whole year without making any profit, would you still find the game fun to play?

Okay!! yes I know that gambling is for profit, even the fun ones are for profit but they can add some interesting games at the windows page for visitors as it is said for fun. That a=is add some free games on the home page so any one who loss game can come there to console himself and also that can bring more plays to the site. Because when some play the free games and became interested of the game they would like to go inside to see the real games of the site and play. They can make profit from it if they want it.
3592  Economy / Gambling / Re: Blackjack.fun | Live tables | Baccarat |Slots| InstantWithraw on: October 02, 2022, 07:57:47 PM
The site is very simple, there no too much features on the site. And also I most say the truth, the site is not attractive because the two image displaying on the site is too dull and look as if they are dolls, though they are. But that can not categorized a site as a bad site, no. Blackjack.fun is a reputable casino gambling games site. Only that I am not seen their campaign in the forum for some time. Though I am new in the forum. But I notice the active signature campaigns in the forum that running. The suggestion that I would like to make is that, they should work on their site, likely the pictures on the home page.
3593  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen If Bitcoin got stabled ? on: October 02, 2022, 07:30:28 PM
If Bitcoin got stable there will be no huge inflection. This will stable almost all coins. And there will be no huge up and down. All the top coins will not depend on Bitcoin.
Whenever Bitcoin got stabled, All the market will be stable in a result of that.
Question is that how Bitcoin can be stable?  If it got stabled what will happen?



I dont think bitcoin will be stable, and also bitcoin if bitcoin got stable which is not possible the market will be still moving. The stability of btc has nothing to do the inflection. Bitcoin was not created to be stable, please go and read more on the history of bitcoin then you will understand the reasons of why bitcoin was created. Now let compare your country's currency to dollar. I know that your country's economy is a stable currency but does it stagnant for one place for full one year. probably NO because any currency that uses dollar to exchange is not stable in one place, it moves up and down. But dollar is always ahead of it. Just like my country's currency, it always depreciation day after day. Therefore, bitcoin will never be stagnant and stable and it is All Time High in nature.

How to get a Rank promoted Can?
Oh boy, I no lie. I am confused of your topic, but it is your content that made me to understand your topic. please next time when creating a thread make sure the title of the thread must be simple to understand. There is no short cut in ranking up. the only two things that I know very well that can make one to rank up are 1. merits and 2. activities. And for you to move up (rank up), you must make quality post to educate and contribute to knowledge to acquire the merits to rank up. And also don't be in hurry to rank patiently acquire your desire merits and rank up gradually. I will advice you to read the following threads for have more knowledge in the forum. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098333.0, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0. what you have to do now in the forum is to read the rules and regulations so that you can do well in the forum.
3595  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More reasons why it will always be Bitcoin for me on: October 01, 2022, 08:46:05 PM
_one man called the government.


The government mentioned in the argument is not in the hands of one man but few. Yest crypto, mostly bitcoin is always the best, that is why it is always on the All Time High (AHT) rate with other coin. But from the country you come from any how you save bitcoin, you most come back and meet your fiat because bitcoin is illegal or not yet adopt as a legal tender so you can not use bitcoin to buy something and you must change your bitcoin to the fiat currency before using them. The regulation of the fiat currency by the CBN is for the benefit of the shareholders not for the customers, we all know that as usual. There is one thing I came to realize that there is no need to paint the fiat currency black because we will definitely come back to it for our daily needs. But we can preach the gospel of bitcoin.
3596  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you think Color should be a limitation? on: October 01, 2022, 08:20:53 PM
It is an interesting non fictional story, segregation, balkanization, and racism was very high and strong as of that time. And I also know that what happened to those two young people, happened to all families, village and communities. Disliking someone is not necessarily a racism. It also happened rich and poor so tagging it to black and white dating is... Marrying a beautiful girl or a boy comes with very strong resistance fru om all angle, those who likes the girl will not want you to come close to the girl and marry. Now from the story. If the girl was very ugly would they still resisted the boy to date or marry her? Racism is not all about colour but thinking. In the first why did they accept the boy in the air force known well that he is a black boy. So you can see that it has nothing to do with color but the thinking the men.

There is no paper wallet or books that are water resistance or fire resistance, how are you protecting yourself from natural disasters that can affect your recovery seed when you wrote it down in a book, big note or paper...

There are different ways you can secure your seed phrase. this are some of the ways you can also keep your seed phrase in very secure and safe place. Click and see more https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5389446.0, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5211880.0, and this for basically on paper wallet https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5383839.0


_laminate it and make many backups, then put them in more than one or two locations,
Laminating paper wallet can not guarantee its safety. Laminating it might keep it longer than usual. Even the laminating paper washed out. I have laminated a National ID card because the original one has not came out, but after some months I discovered that the write on the ID card were fade and when I asked someone told me that the heat that is inside the paper did. That is when I came to understand that laminating is not the best option of a document safety. Since there is no best to secure paper wallet, you just have to duplicate it and keep it in different place like rooms and houses.

Independence but not free
When Nigeria gained independence from British authority in 1960 and was proclaimed a federal republic with Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe serving as its first president, it was a momentous day in Nigerian history. It is truly a day to honor freedom because it is not something that can be attained without cost. Following independence, on January 15, 1966, there was the first military takeover, also known as the founding of the first republic, which was controlled by several leaders who represented the various regions. Very intriguing system of governing. Although we are celebrating our independence, are we truly free? We practice democracy which was supposed to be a  government of the people, where the priority of the government is supposed to be the people but their priority is now their pockets greed has taken over our nation, and corruption has eaten deep into our system that as crumble the economy and governance of our nation indeed we celebrate freedom but still in bondage, but despite the challenges we stand firm and hope for the best, let's pray and hope for the best, Nigeria is our home our land and our nation, we also have a role to play as its citizen so let’s perform our duties correctly and God bless  Nigeria.


di independent wey Nigeria got dat na political independent, Nigeria still dey suffer 4 economic dependent. Azikwe was a ceremonial president. As of dat time of di independent in1960, Nigeria was operating parliamentary system which was having 2 heads. Head of State and Head of Government. Azikwe was di head of government nd head of govert was onli 2 attend ceremonies. And Head of State 2 carry out di administrative activities and Tafawa Balewa was the Head of State. Now afta di independent, British govermt still control Nigeria through economic means, dat is y 9ja no fit do anything instead we dey pay debit.

Probably there was some kind of upgrading or updating works were going on so they have to withdraw the site from online to offline and upload the features or checked whatever have to done in a short period of time and bring it back. And within this time frame most users are not online to noticed as you did because not all users are online everytime.
3600  Other / Serious discussion / Users Cross Carpeting of Campaigns: on: September 29, 2022, 11:07:43 PM
This has been a disturbing factor for me for a long time, but I dont know how to express it but the thing is getting out of hand it is obvious that I cant control the instincts again so I have to express it. I do not met it to hurt anyone but to express my feeling on a disturbing issue. I believed this has been on ground since the day, the platform was created or it was later the habits were executed by "hunters", I call them hunters because they are jumping from one campaign. I dont know why people would join today then tomorrow when another campaign came up they would apply again, if another one came up they would apply again. It is that they are here only for campaigns? Or the pay of the campaign that accepted them is too small? If they know that the pay is too small, for the first sight, they should not apply for it and they should be patient for next one. You join a campaign yesterday and you were accepted, today another campaign came you apply and accepted, you have disorganized the former manager's plan. I like some users in the forum, since when I came to the forum, they are stick to their campaigns. For those who cross carpet should stay in their newly accepted campaigns for a while before leaving.

why do you join the campaign and leave within 24hrs?
