This regulation news instead of planned ban will increase the volume of the general market and bitcoin will fly this year. During February that the draft document will be out, we can be sure of a bull volatility. However I can't put my fingers on the reason Russia is making this step at this time.

Inflation is bad for low income earners and the artisan because they hardly have enough to feed, the little to feed with is being inflated leaving them on hardship. The government don't really have anything to lose as they benefit from budget and project from bribes that they don't depend on salary they get. It is really hard times in the world and majority of the people are on the poverty line. What makes the situation worse is that unemployment is rising daily.
3903  Economy / Economics / Re: Fungibility on: February 09, 2022, 01:49:33 PM
Even if you know where it came from, it's no use since you're probably going to only see the address but not the person behind it, it's also going to take some effort for you to be able to identify who's behind that said address so it's not worth it. Also, why would you worry about where your coins come from if you know that you're doing nothing wrong?

I think for exchanges that want to do some tracking incase there is an issue either between customers, then it can be nice to confirm wallet where it is originating from or actual  destination but if not for verification purpose I don't think the identity of the person behind it address can be revealed because bitcoin is still anonymous system .
3904  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia to make bitcoin a currency on: February 09, 2022, 12:09:44 PM
Well not yet so . I do not see the news as an express adoption of bitcoin in Russia. Putin just made a statement that perhaps would not allow a ban or restriction to cryptocurrency but not a pass like e El Salvador did. The status is not that it would make bitcoin illegal like the banks initially wanted. At it is I think CBDC will be a way to start for Russia so they can handle other political challenges bedevilling them at the moment.

Many people have made that mistake not only Wikipedia. What of the guy that sold bitcoin for pizza  Grin Roll Eyes Today many still regret some coins that they sold off untimely and the coins now doing well. Some altcoins like Ethereum, binance, litecoin may have left the hands of people at a time they were very cheap. Facebook rejected cryptocurrency ads but won't be surprised what will happen for tomorrow. Change is that constant part of life. Yes we have to treat people better, that's the lesson.

This kind of hack is looking suspicious. I hope the IT industry and guys in there are not involved in such fraud. This is not a system collapse but an act probably in collaboration to disclose information. Well at the maintain we still hang on to see what this is all about. Europe for now have been on a little confusion with Russia threat to Ukraine and US giving support to Ukraine.
3907  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria (Naija) on: February 08, 2022, 03:45:48 PM
I no see any effect of the Bitcoin ban 4 9ja
The effect dey o. Make I yarn you, as your eyes open so for crypto things and other online things, no be so everybody eyes open. You go imagine say some young boys for my side go bring phone give me say make I open facebook account for them. Person wey no fit open facebook account, na crypto wey dem ban him go fit do?
Crypto himself if you no put ban deh worry to learn,  talkless of when dem put ban. The ban just slow the speed dem for use accept crypto for Naija.

The only thing be say some small liver people just dey cast the btc thing more becos say govt com put eyes on top am. Dem also dey cast am say you see the price don fall and som wey invest dey cry but na dem no. If you know you know. The tin wey I believ be say if you no like something you no go talk gud abt am. Ban or no ban, pple still dey advertise am 4 radio & govt neva go afta dem.


@ Ripe_berry , we hala you. But u no gas say tins with mouth open like that (I believ you fit get where I dey go). Wall dey hear word. Na wayo wayo u go dey go. Make I open dor 4 u make e for no loss.
3908  Economy / Economics / Re: Life Insurance and Blockchain on: February 08, 2022, 12:14:24 PM
This is one of these areas that definitely could use the blockchain's immutability and transparency.

If people actually bothered to adopt blockchain technology in this field there will be a transformational increase in integrity of the system.

Africa should by all means adopt the blockchain in this as it will help to fight and prevent insurance scams the same way it should be adopted to checkmate pension fraud too. The so many scams resulting from this two sectors I mentioned is highly under reported. Heads of parastatals and ministries have ripped people off for so long a time and they have been getting away with that. Corruption in Africa now makes things like that and stealing look normal. This is bad. Blockchain technology should be applied in all this. Maybe it will put a stop to it as transparency will be guaranteed

It has all been said well. There are many corruption holes that has not been covered and government officials are still taking what belongs to the public. Blockchain can reduce these loop holes to a level that corruption will become a difficult thing in the system but the challenge is those that are looked on to for such policies will not do a progressive thing for the public because they benefit from that area.
3909  Economy / Economics / Re: Caentral banks rate rise could be biggest bluff on: February 07, 2022, 05:55:06 PM
The reason for the rate hike made by the banks is due to many factors like; inflation, crisis, debt and other factors that certainly impacting the economy of the country.
I don't think that this is a bluff or a con, it's certainly happening and it's not just for a few countries but most of the countries that are dealing to cope up to fight against the inflation and other factors that are threatening their economy has to do it. As they increase it now, it won't stay on the increase forever.

The factors you have mentioned are definitely part of the reason for whatever increase but my wonder is government being the culprit of inflation will not stop at nothing to increase charges also. These increases including Vat cause severe hardship on the people and keep bringing the economy down.

Lol these days nothing goes up that comes down. The law of gravity does not operate now with the economic challenges.

Freedom from exposure of privacy is the advantage bitcoin have over fiat. That is a major purpose of bitcoin over fiat or CBDC. It is decentralised and can be used without restriction.

Investing in cryptocurrency is the only big chance of making money,So there is no reason people to leave bitcoin.

No is not true. Before cryptocurrency, people have done other businesses and have made money from it, there is real estate investment and people are going into it. The thing about cryptocurrency is that it gives larger opportunity for more people to enter into wealth taking not that it is the only big chance.
3911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current discussion: AFCON - Finals. on: February 07, 2022, 11:32:31 AM

This was 33rd edition of this AFCON and first win for team Senegal which was full of some very talented and skilled players this was very bore match as Egypt were going with their own way of defensively in entire tournament, and they never try to have some better way of play which hurt them in this last match because Senegal goalkeeper done some better job instead of Egypt.


Quote
Senegal goalkeeper done some better job instead of Egypt.

How do you mean that . For yesterday's match, the Egyptian keeper did a marvelous goal keeping to safe all the attempts made by Senegalese side, he prevented to score even the hot penalty kick by mane. He deserve the award given to him honestly because he was outstanding in the Egyptian team that couldn't locate their bearing including Salah.

Cudos to the Senegal side for a wonderful outstanding and crawning it with the winner of Afcon for the first time. I saw Salah really not happy with the defeat from his team mate side

Moreover, did anybody notice Salah telling the keeper something in the ear before mane played the penalty that was pointed out by the keeper ?

Could it be that Salah told the keeper the likely direction his team mate (mane) would shoot to ?
3912  Economy / Economics / Re: i was right people have no more money on: February 06, 2022, 12:24:48 PM
i need to highlight that we should all also remember that inflation favours some people, to those people, there is no shortage of money.

Yes no matter how you want to look at it , if the world is still existing everyone won't get poor and rich at the same time. Inflation will favour certain people and get some poorer because they can not be able to meet up with spending or lavish spending. Those that are involved in cryptocurrency and businesses that interact with currency won't feel the negative impact of inflation because they also benefit from it as they do the business. Also government policies do favour some people while others suffer from it but life goes on, a patient person will wait for their turn. So it varies , the people that inflation favour are those spending lavishly and they are few compared to the large majority suffering.
3913  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it just me or people are out of liquidity ( money ) ? on: February 05, 2022, 06:52:48 AM
It depends on your country actually as other contributors have said and not only that, it may also depend on you. Maybe you have not observed very well and you are thinking that is the situation or it may be you have run out of liquidity and thinking others have too. But maybe it is just what you noticed at a particular moment that you observed and thinking that is what is happening. If it is just for few hours or some days may not mean your country has gone bankrupt. Or is there war in your country ?

Given that things are very difficult and standard of living is falling in our eyes in almost all countries but I'm yet to see what will cause buying and selling to stop if not war.

It is no need to hype a token or yourself when you don't provide link to road map for checks to be done on your boost. Do the needful first for the performance to judge. Where is exchange for the launch or is it still in development stage? It is not giving verbal information without directing users to better information.
3917  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Government Really Ban Crypto? on: February 01, 2022, 08:10:01 PM
I think the government can't ban crypto. Because there are many countries where the government has banned cryptocurrency but thousands of people are using crypto. Government can only hinder its spread.

I hope hindering that you mean is giving the adoption a slow pace and that is what I think can happen for those countries banning or making such bars around bitcoin. In real fact it will be difficult for a stop in bitcoin. It has stayed above 10 years despite the challenges and yet it kept moving beating ATH
3918  Economy / Economics / Re: China considering the use of Blockchain Technology on: February 01, 2022, 07:15:04 PM
But to a latest development, its giving the use of blockchain technology application a trial opportunity stating that the proposed blockchain differs from the bitcoin blockchain.
what's our intake on this?


The use of blockchain itself is a recognition of the technology which means China is beginning to drop it myopic thinking and fight against bitcoin. Soon it will welcome bitcoin and use the blockchain as well. IMO I already see it as a positive adoption news whether partial no matter how it appears. In 2017 China displayed a ban on the technology and if they have started welcoming it using blockchain, that is a good thinking because it will benefit there economy through the mining etc.
3919  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Why people keep "investing" money in shit/memecoins? Genuine question. on: February 01, 2022, 02:23:44 PM
Shit and Meme coins like gambling. It is able to give big profit in less time. So the Newbie prefers these coins a lot. they have small amount of usd to investment so they invest there usd in Meme coin. Which enables them to buy many tokens for less money.
These are the main reason for hodling shit and meme coins. It is luck based not about real value and hodling for longer time. Meme coins are cheaper and you get millions of unit with few dollars. The ROI is expectedly higher if lucky on the investment.


So these tokens are very popular among Newbies. Because they are not aware of the risks about these


Is not only with newbies because experienced people also invest in it. Is about how to make profit fast and get off the hook. So not just the business of newbies.
3920  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Government Really Ban Crypto? on: February 01, 2022, 10:58:23 AM


This same thing will happen to countries that refuse to embrace crypto today.
[/center]



I pick the analogy you are trying to picture using the Nokia Windows phone and Android and now Nokia is trying to play a catch up game to the global world but Nokia will catch up with the backing of Microsoft and the brand . And likewise the country that are banning cryptocurrency will try to catch up when they realise their mistake. The time will come when citizen of countries that have been banning bitcoin will begin to complain because they may not get same financial freedom that their counterparts have. It is a matter of time because the world is a global village.
