Even though I have noticed some people pretending to buy Bitcoin for the love and not because they believe they can get financially comfortable through it, majority of Bitcoin investors got into Bitcoin because they know the wealth generating power of Bitcoin. Even those who got into Bitcoin because of the use case like myself, somehow they realized that it could be a store of value and started holding. So the ultimate reason for holding Bitcoin is to make more money from it, leveraging on the volatility and other amazing properties of it.

However, there are other reasons I have come to realize that made people invest in Bitcoin. Personally, I have made some adjustments in my future plans and that including adding Bitcoin to the assets I will transfer my heirs. Consequently, I'm building to HODL and never to sell my entire assets irrespective of the price Bitcoin gets to. I will experience bull and bear seasons as long as I live and will never run out of Bitcoin.

Unfortunately, Manchester City is not finding it easy to win even at Etihad as the match is standing at goalless draw as at half time. I'm not surprised though because Everton have been a difficult nut to crack for the big teams.  They were able to secure 2:2 draw with Tottenham in their last match following Jarrad Branthwaite 94th minute goal, although this is not enough to conclude that they will be able to withstand the firepower of the Cities.

I was thinking that Manchester City will have an easy win today following Liverpool's last week defeat by Arsenal that made them lose their first position for the interim should Manchester City win their outstanding match. Let's see how the second half ends and I hope the Cities are able to win this one because they desperately need the winning more than anything.

This cannot change anything regarding gambling addiction. It is obvious you've never been addicted to gambling before or seen someone that have been addicted before. A gambling addict has no control over his actions and can't help it.

If the account of gambling addict is frozen for whatever reason it may be, it is a matter of creating new account in another casino or even playing physical casino. The options are just numerous besides, most casinos do not require KYC.

Stopping gambling addiction must come from the determination of the gambler after being convinced that he is going about gambling the wrong way.

This is one of the important attribute that makes a great gambler yet it is one of the hardest thing to do. Taking a break has serious psychological benefits in terms of helping the gambler dispel pressures and plan better. Anyone not able to take a break from gambling is probably addicted.


Some people only take a break after a major loss, a way to allow them get over it. But I do take a break after a major loss or a major win. I consider managing winning an important aspect of the gambling process so whenever I have a major win, I take a break. I do this by withdrawing my winnings and leaving just a small amount in my gambling account and whenever I lose that money, I will take a break to be able to account for the winning.

You are not a lone my friend, this do happen to me. I have never won a bet I placed outrageous amount for once, I don't know why but no matter how careful I am with the selection, as long as I stake very big amount, it doesn't always work.

I think this may be a way the bookies play tricks on our mind, thereby throwing us into fear and doubts. Ever since I realized that this pattern doesn't work, I stick to what works, not fighting to make all the money in one bet. I think that helped me find peace with myself.

Dollar rise affact Nigeria because we are a net importing nation and dollar is the main currency used for international trades. Virtually everything we use in Nigeria is imported and you need dollar to import the goods. Assuming we are producing most of our things then there will not be too much dependence on the dollar.  This is the simple explanation as to why the rise of dollar affects our local currency so much.

One thing you should also know as to why the rise is so rapid is because our practices here creates unnecessary scarcity of the dollar. When an Igboman want to bring in container and there is no dollar for him to pay and do that, he will go to the black market and buy at any price, the Aboki at that end will increase his exchange rate for quick profit, na so the price go dey rise dey go.

This new innovation reminds me so much of my childhood; then it was our way of punishing anyone that is trying to injure other players. He is normally sent out for a while, I can't remember how long, later he is brought back to the game. It is usually a bad experience if your team is losing because you will be reducing their chances of equalizing with that mini red card you just incurred for them.

I know that this new development will give more work to the coaches in terms of working on the temper of the players. Coaches will seriously advice them not to be too aggressive with their tackles. I even see this as a bigger punishment than yellow card because like I said, it is like a mini red card.

Those are the people looking for who to blame in case anything go wrong with the investment. There are many with such character, they will never take responsibility for anything. In where I work, I still have some colleagues that still believe that Bitcoin will fail me. Funny enough, they are waiting for me to cry and regret investing in Bitcoin and always laugh at me when I ask them to invest in Bitcoin.

It is important to avoid anyone who have displayed some level of pessimism towards Bitcoin because investment requires some form of believe and trust, not forgetting the need to own up to the responsibilities.

I do not agree with you that setting the time to sell will help someone in holding especially when you want to hold for long term in accordance with our discussion here. Setting sell target means if the target is reach in two months the asset will be sold, I do not think this qualifies as the long term investment we are discussing here. I know that our plans and targets are different but when our mind is fixed on selling, we might tend to be agitated when the target price is not coming as quickly as we expect, this might be the beginning of a bigger problem.

It has been emphasized that it does not require huge amount of knowledge to be able to invest in Bitcoin even though completely knowledge is important and highly encouraged. To get started, you need just the basic knowledge thereafter you can build on your knowledge as you are building your portfolio.

Problem gambling and compulsive gambling are the same thing and in reality is the same as gambling addiction. When you feel the urge to gamble always and you cannot help it, it becomes addiction if you actually yield and gamble after all.

Anyone gambling should endeavor to watch it when his drive for gambling gets to this level because it is actually the beginning of the end of such person if decisive steps are not taken to curb such uncontrollable desires.

Sometimes you will be wondering if there is any spirit monitoring you and pushing you to do certain things or take certain decisions. I can truly understand because you are not the only one that experienced that. I don't know if the entire gambling business have a spirit they release to make one do something that will spoil the bet 

It took me some time to understand that these are just normal things without any spiritual connotations.  It just confirms that luck is active as far as gambling is concerned. Some people will feel the urge to adjust or remove a certain game and it will happen that the game the remove or changed was what made them to win. So it is two way thing.

I did not actually said that buying a fixed amount of Bitcoin at regular interval us the same thing as the DCA method. It was a pattern I imagined to be possible, hence the reason I took my stand on it and still left room for more contribution. I have stated before that we should not only view Bitcoin investment as something reserved for the poor because Bitcoin was not just created as a means of escape from poverty even though it has the potential of changing the financial status of investors.

We must understand that there are rich people who are heavily invested in Bitcoin. They can set their target on the amount of Bitcoin they want to achieve at a certain time or age and will continue buying certain amount weekly or monthly or even yearly to get to their target. They don't necessarily need to check the price because they can purchase it at any price as money was never the factor when they even started it.

As a matter of fact, I have even seen story of someone who targeted getting 0.5BTC to achieve before his graduation from the university. Although he did not buy fixed quantity of Bitcoin per time, rather he was buying with 20% of any money that enters his hands from the parents as a student. The price of Bitcoin was cheaper then so it was easy for him to achieve.

The point I'm making is that the method of buying might vary but the ultimate goal is to buy Bitcoin and hold.

First, it is not my wish that my son will steal money to gamble, it will not tell good of me as a father. The reason I do most of the things I do is for my heirs to have a soft landing in the issues of life so there will be no need for my son to steal.

If peradventure it happens, as it is in the power of man to propose while God disposes, then I will do my best to caution him and make him undertake serious psychological rehabilitation to avoid a repeat of such ugly act. If he is within the age to be beaten, he will receive the proportionate beating and if he has passed that age, appropriate measures will be taken.

This is why it has become necessary for us to protect our children from things that can make them for bad habits. We must endeavor to keep our gambling a secret because children are not supposed to be exposes to gambling.

I have heard about this a number of times and I keep wondering what could be the motivation for such harsh decision. Whatever it could be, I know that this will never end well because it is like gambling with money you do not have. The fact that one sold his asset alone will generate some form of desperation that will impact negatively on the decision taking of the gambler. So,  I do not support or encourage anyone to sell his assets because of gambling. Gambling should be done with spared funds, money we can afford to lose.

The level of risk an individual is expected to take in gambler will be dependent on his financial status so both the rich and the poor are taking risk but of different degrees.  In reality, what the rich is gambling with might actually be what the poor target to win, how then do we make comparison as to who should risk more.

Everyone is risking what they can afford to lose except for the addicts that go beyond their limits.

This was my method of going about Bitcoin before I learnt about the DCA method. I had this pattern of putting most of my money in Bitcoins at once or within a short interval of time and to be honest, I do sell my Bitcoin when I have needs, most times I sell at lower prices than I bought. This did not really go well with me because it gave me a lot of bad feelings and low self esteem whenever I sell my Bitcoin and realise that prices has gone up few days from the day I sold.

If you noticed, I'm one of the most excited user of the DCA method. I'm forever grateful to @JayJuanGee for his input and guide in his posts and replies, it was a whole new learning experience for me.

The aspect of setting aside emergency funds was the game changer for me, it completely eliminated the pressure to sell my Bitcoin for simple things that small money could solve. This forum is about the best thing that has happened to me!

When Brentford scored the first goal of the match, I was thinking that Manchester City will be facing the same fate that befell Liverpool, it was not long that the Cities levelled up the match at half time. Second half then ushered in the destruction for Brentford. The next time Brentford will hear the name Phil Foden, they will take to their hills to avoid a repeat of the destruction that he did to them. Only him scored the 3 goals that reduced the once energetic Brentford to rubbles, thereby sending them closer to the relegation zone that everyone is doing their best to avoid.

Liverpool was not left out in the pain that greeted Machester's 1-3 win against Brentford. With this win, Machester City will do their best to win their outstanding match to top the league with 1 point lead over Liverpool. We cannot say that the season is over yet but it is looking like Pep Guardiola is not ready to allow Jurgen Klopp end his contract at Anfield with a trophy.

There is a saying that "the end justify the means", so when the end is known, there will always be means of actualizing it. You seems to sound with the tone that everyone investing in Bitcoin is so poor that they cannot afford to buy Bitcoin if the price makes x2 of the currency price. This is a wrong mindset because there are a lot of rich people investing in Bitcoin and such people can set their plans based on the quantity of Bitcoin they want to have accumulated at a certain time in the future. Some people can even set the target of  buying 1BTC per year as long as they live, to save the money for their children. These are possibilities that we cannot ignored thinking that everyone investing in Bitcoin is broke. You must understand that our purposes of investing in Bitcoin differs.

While some people are buying and holding Bitcoin as an escape from poverty, some are pushing some of their funds into Bitcoin as a hedge for their other businesses. Some are actually saving their retirement benefits in Bitcoin. We must appreciate our peculiarities as that itself is the beauty of life. What matter most is being able to invest in such a way that it will not give you pressures or discomfort.

It was a risk worth taking and only those who threat gambling as business will do this. You acted as a business man and as a gambler together in this and it paid off for you. I have heard about this pattern of selling running game but I've not done it before. If I were in your shoes, I don't think I would have summoned the courage to take such risk.

On a second thought, when I considered that it was 177 odds the person staked less that 30 cents, I get disappointed. What a waste odds! Well, no one is sure with anything as regards to gambling, maybe he just staked what he could afford to lose.

I know this development will now mark a new shift in KYC processes, another burden of technological innovation. However, a CEX with good KYC providers or rigorous KYC process will easily detect these as fakes.

Apart from beating the KYC requirements of CEX exchanges and platforms, I do not know how this could be used to scam exchange users. From the article, it is not a case of data theft, just AI doing its thing. It is the exchanges that need to be more careful before scammers use their platforms to launder funds by passing their KYC with fake identities that cannot be traced.


Exchanges require selfie with the IDs, so how will that be possible with this AI generated IDs? I know that anything is possible like printing the ID on plastic cards but then, I don't know if they already explored that option. f the scammer do that, the real face of the scammer or someone trying to evade KYC would have been captured. What do you have to say about that?
