Brotherly nah just the way you admonish am nah so it just be, some of this guy's them no the wan use their number 6 to take pay attention, observe and learn how those people wey done dey the community before them come dey do their own thing. To grow for this forum no too hard as many people think am oh, nah just to follow the tide where it the lead to which is crypto and bitcoin related discussions and a touch of critical global  economic issues.
You go the drop rubbish then men Dem go just the use you the count post na the truth be that.

The system of things has made us all incapacitated and trust me words mate it's a deliberate system carved to reduce us to nothing so that we can't have or afford the resources to use in hitting the streets. The media is not on our side so who will show the true story of any outcome of what may result out if we hit the street? Remember #ENDSARS how the media painted it to the outside world but thanks to social media platforms like YouTube and X many genuine videos went viral to showcase their massacre act but till date who has been punished for all the death? No body.

I hate to say this but not prayers or continued endurance of the suffering can save us or bring about a better change to our system of government but rather a war or a determined military coup to ease the pressure of the political system that have bastardized the economy to nothing but continual ruin and shambles.

Reading through I can perceive what are emotional gambler you are regarding to your team's or an individual athlete support as a fan. You remind me of a guy I knew in my former location, rather for him to bet against his favourite team he will prefer not to pick that game into his bet slip and till date I wonder the manner of joy he deeives from been so loyal to the extend of not admitting to take advantage of a game he's aware of an imminent loss against his team in his gambling to make money out of it. Just pondering does those stars, teams and clubs knows that there are people like this that exists in their career that will always stick to them even in losing and winning times despite how much money is at risk.

Apart from the reputation and transparency aspect which is very sacrosanct for someone like myself before I could want to risk my penny into the hand of another person to gamble with it you have showed me your level of gambling success you have made in many previous bets you have played and they have to be convincible enough. Because for a gambler to hand over his money to a fellow gambler for a bankroll kind of investment sort of thing he must have seen veritable reasons to believe in your capacity to deliver because what investors will want to hear is you are delivering and not excuses at the end.

I say both are highly risky in the individual's respective perspective that are involved in either any one of the two.

A physical business owner will narrate to you the risk involved on the road or sea in terms of delivering their goods, with an accident or a mishap and the ship sinks all that goods are lost and money gone with it. There are possible armed robbers/burglary attack and many of the other risks op has mentioned.

While for an online investor in crypto are also embedded with couples of risk that we are all informed about so I would decide not to go into listing. But in all of those risks in the two different areas of doing business it all depends on the individual on how he manages these risks and play his own part in keeping himself away from making avoidable losses. And also being able to accept certain situations that may occur which may be beyond control. Risk is everywhere!

Investment is a hedge over inflationary times as we are right now but savings just as the name implies is a life saver at moments when emergency situations strikes and could be that our investment has made or got to a maturity to be be accessed or withdrawn and with an available savings sudden circumstances can be scaled through without having to start looking for where to go borrowing, at times we don't even get who will loan us the money at that time. So what am saying is that, despite the inflation that may affect the value of our saving  we should make sure to have a savings amount left somewhere even as we pursue investment as a way to balance out financial state of things because life situations are unpredictable.

I wonder if people in this generation are anymore afraid of losing their health anymore than ever before because the with the amount of drug addicts and the proliferation of the invention of many hard drugs in the society it does scares me to death what the next generation with be like 50 years from now on the area of taking in substances that's dangerous to health apart from just the cigarettes we're discussing about here. Despite the boldly written inscription "smokers are liable to die young", still people can't help themselves from smoking even after reading.

 What I think is that the public awareness shouldn't just be on the part of the health risk but also on the financial aspect too, where financial experts could analyze how much those money spent on buying these substances/cigarettes to endanger their lives could be use into other investment areas to better their lives instead. I see that people are more scared of losing money this days more than losing their health in the long term. So may the two should go together in public campaigns awareness.

Smiles... I don't really blame people when they would prefer to pass that money to gambling or a lottery to try their lucky as it appears that the probability to having a possible profit to be made is higher in gambling than it is with  memecoins. Years back when they were a few thousands it was not that much of a headache and interestingly there were a more genuine ones with the intent to stay for a long time than those that weren't but nowadays with millions of it all yet our luck on it seem to get thinner than a needles hole which is why some persons would chose to gamble or play a lottery over it.

I have been an unlucky dude when it's about airdrops projects as I have been a participant of a few different airdrop projects that promises so much to give when launched but it was just unfortunate for me that all I have been partaking in kept on failing on their promises which made me lost faith in wasting my time and energy executing tasks anymore in the hope of profiting from any. But sometime in 2021 in my memo serve me right I had this friend who told me about an airdrop project that was about to be launched and that I should participate too as he has been following up and they look quite promising to deliver. Out of bitter experiences of the previous airdrops I didn't take it serious but guess what, that project was real as they actually delivered on their words and my friend made some cool cash about $800 from it. At first I felt jealous but not anymore right now. Shits happens

It is for the reason of such pressure of responsibilities from different angles on the male child in continent like Africa that's why the men hardly live to a longevity of age. It is out of this wrong  belief system by majority of persons in the society that the respect deserving of a man is to be measured by the amount of material wealth he posseses that have forced a lot of young men to indulge into immoral and criminal activities to make money in order to retain their respect and dignity in the environment they find themselves. A narrative that's very bad and need to be squashed with a a radical orientation about how a true respect should be earned. 

I should believe that every investment before it's to be made the investor has a time plan mapped out for the investment in taking profit within such period from the investment, and when it gets to the time planned the investor is faced with two decisions either to reinvest based on his state of finance and the amount of profit made or to take profit and channel it to other areas of his endeavors that needs financial push.

I have had times I take profit from my bitcoin investment to match up with what I have at hand to achieve a desperate project and it has been helpful, however that doesn't stop me from DCAing when I can too.

Having a one world currency to be used for exchange of goods and services will be appealing if it's a decentralized currency which means it has to be under a decentralized government but which government will want to be decentralized thereby losing its legitimate use of force, control and regulatory authority. More importantly, which government of the world will want to submit their sovereign economic control to a global central authority? Which is why this in theory can be said to be fine but practically impossible. I admire the stand bitcoin has taken to be an alternative currency so even though it gains a global adoption it's practically an alternative to the centralized financial system of control.

The issue is that we can avoid being tracked by the government if we only make use of decentralized platforms for all our cryptocurrencies operations, however this is seeming quite unavoidable as there are some kind of operation you will want to make do with that only centralized platforms and organisation provides and this will mean that you will have to be KYCed which is the means through which the government easily use in tracking us and our transactions and movements. So if you have been registered with any centralized exchanges or platforms it's okay to assume that you can be tracked by the government at any point in time they so wish because they will through the use of coercion gain access to your personal details from those centralized platforms based on their policies regulating them.

Dont take everyone words that comes out do the politicians lips seriously when they are on their campaign canvassing for electorate support. Most of the promises they make they don't even have an already laid down plan to achieve those promises but they just made it anyway with the aim to capture the minds of the people to their side. In my country in the just concluded general election that was held, all the promises made by the sitting president right now it's quite the opposite we are getting on the economy.

it was a disappointing night for the Angola's as Nigeria had to denied them all the gift items that was promised to them by their country which was part of a way to ignite their determination in the game but Nigeria wasn't an easy side for them Angola to get a win from. Nigeria's defence in that game was just wonderful with all the interceptions and the goalkeeper wasn't left out in carrying out his role in the goalpost by regularly intercepting almost every crossed pass in the air at the goalpost from reaching to the head of an Angola player.  Moving to the next stage of the competition I would believe Nigeria can get get to the finals of this tournament and possibly win it if they continue with this determination and team work, that's if injury doesn't set into the team. Congratulations to them.

Is that a strategy? Yes it looks like one. Will be be effective and profitable for someone of your caliber? I don't  think so. You will only be topping the bags of the whales if you take this path you call a strategy without having sizeable bag close to or equivalent to those of the whales that can withstand any certain fake out in the market used by the whales to bury small bag traders before the market really gives a clear cut direction for either a buy or sell.
Wolves and dogs done go together.

Nigeria are playing to expectation with a very high spirit in this game unlike how we have seen Angola held other teams they had played against in this AFCON to a stand still it is different with in this game against Nigeria. Like you said, the Nigeria defence is good nothing giving the Angola's forwards to see a space to trouble the goal post with shots. Right now Nigeria is leading with a one goal and we hope they be able to secure or get more goals as they come back to the second half.

I no know the kind spirit wey dey inside Naija people way everybody the like dodge paying of taxes, this ban way the government don lift if no be the tax side of it wey follow I know say by now plenty persons go don the use their bank cards and cheque books to the wire transaction of bitcoin for bank. I no go blame the people on one side, the government no the try sef, nothing for the economy and welfare services and infrastructures wey go suppose motivate person to pay tax nothing like that wey dey for the country from even the VAT and other indirect taxes we the pay. As for me say the p2p still dey working then I no see the use of bank as a more suitable alternative to me in my bitcoin transactions.

First, before you go on to  hating yourself because you are not making profits in your gambling why not stop to ask yourself will my hating of myself due to my persistent gambling losses change anything in the results in my future gambling or everything will still be static. Hating oneself because of gambling losses which obviously this is not within your control it's like leaving the cause to attack the effect. The cause of your losing is that you're gambling, so why don't you stop gambling and see how you will not be losing your money anymore. Very simple right? Yeah!

Although this is a welcome development for cryptocurrency seeing an appointed date for ethereum approval and more interesting the date is just within this year 2023 same year the bitcoin spot ETF got approved. Something I learned from the approval of the bitcoin ETF the price after the approval humbled a lot of investors who were so optimistic with sudden expectations of bitcoin price soaring high up to $100k immediately approved but that didn't happen it's rather in the future the positive effect of the bitcoin ETF approval will start surfacing in the bitcoin price, in same vein with the ethereum ETF approval most of these speculative prices may not be met not even the $4k mark. The benefits to ETF approval is in a  long term time to come. My point of view though.
