I'm very much excited about this news even though its far from being a legitimate or confirmed news just yet bit then, its very encouraging, not because the news is about the legalisation of crypto but then, the fact that, the leaders can actually be able to discover a fault in their policy and take steps to correct it starting from accepting the fact that they made an error in the first place is a commendable one. I'm impressed at this attitude. No one wants to be wrong, especially in matters of public affairs and that which could ridicule them but then, ensuring that the right thing is done is a commendable act and as such, I encourage them to keep it up and not just formulate policies but create room for a possible reversal should it be that the policy isn't one that helps. Good 9ne by the Nigerian government.

Trump is a phenomenal figure, a type you would find once in a milinium. He wasn't just America's president, he was a figure every one looked up to and after for some drama and amusement and I'm sure a lot of persons weren't disappointed.  He actually thought out his plans and actions before carrying them out himself and not mainly relying on advisers and representatives. When it comes to Trump, I'm all in. I've never thought of Joe Biden as the president of America.
To me, it feels off because, his going to controlled by some puppet master figures that would always remain unseen.

There is always an adverse phase to every advance in development and as uncool as it would be, some people are meant to suffer the cause of their ignorance. This is 2hat calls for more an more awareness through which ever means to ensure those around you don't fall victim.

On the part of the way the society takes scamming, I know the society isn't any fanatic about the act, its very .ugh frowned at but, for the young individuals that aren't into scamming, it becomes very depressing and undermining to watch another youth doing good out of scamming. Its a temptation every youth face but, your strength is in your ability to ignore and not giving in.
4086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: March 22, 2021, 10:27:05 PM
Barcelona had a wonderful and ridiculous performance yesterday. They so much out played Real Sociedad to point out there new found form. Real Sociedad suddenly didn't feel like a team that had topped the Laliga table for a while. At first I thought it was going to be one of those games where, Barcelona would be caught on counter attack and they end up loosing to Real Sociedad but after the first and second goal in the first half, it became clear that Real Sociedad had lost that one.
It was really impressive to have watched Barcelona played yet another good football as the game end Real Sociedad 1-6 Barcelona.

For now, I'm kind of having a conflicting though on Sarah and Harry kane. Its definitely going to be between the both of them. My problem with Sarah is, he isn't fed the ball in Liverpool as much as Harry Jane is fed the ball in Tottenham. But then, Sarah is a creative player for sure, at least a lot more than Harry kane and his got his eyes on the goal. Harry kane on the other hand isn't that creative but, his got his eyes on the goal and is favoured in his team. So, the race to the goal is just between  these two.
Bruno Fernández might have had a chance but, Manchester United isn't the kind of team that encourages new talents for me, especially with the state of the team.

So, the trick is basically based on you to have released coins based on trust. That wasn't greed, that was out right stupidity on the side of the seller. A mean, why should you confer such trust on one you do not know and have never met! The success of your activities in the crypto space is basically on how private you keep your details and how you don't trust anyone.
These exchanges go as far as making the release payment or acknowledgement of payment a 2 step process to ensure that your sure to have received and not to have clicked by error means. So, its just some users being too selfless on there part.
4090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PSA: Never delete your old Wallets or Keys on: March 22, 2021, 07:29:23 PM
I was just about to wonder if people do delete there private keys and just when I was about to see reasons why, the explanation from OP just made the reasons useless.

This is what isn't been thought of by most users and besides, of what damage or what would it cost you to keep your wallet address and keys or seed phrase safe? Practically nothing. They don't occupy any space and besides, if properly filed, it could go in as the rest keys and be easily identified. So, it doesn't do any good to delete them.

Again, not just exchanges but, its also possible that, the signature campaigns one might have worked with in the past can also do this form of dust donations in the event of either an anniversary or a lot of profit and having your key or seed phrase with you could mean you making a few bucks. Though, I'm not an advocate of getting free stuff.
4091  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Is electrum a theif? on: March 22, 2021, 07:02:36 PM
There is no way a wallet, be it Electrum wallet or which ever wallet you choose to use would steal your funds. It doesn't happen except, you've downloaded a fake wallet. That way, your funds might gradually or be completely swept off but, thats about that scenario downloading a cloned wallet and this clearly doesn’t seem like the case.

In your case, I think its basically your in ability to comfortably make use of the electrum wallet. You should be able to send that amount but, you've got to set the fees just about right I  sat/byte. Either you use the ETA/MEMPOOL/STATIC forms of payment and manually adjust till it agrees.
Its got nothing to do with 2FA security system as it's just an extra security and nothing more.
4092  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk name once again used to fool people by hackers! on: March 22, 2021, 06:27:02 PM
I wonder why people still far for this Elon Musk give-away this and that on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram or what ever media they use. Well, its not a mystery that people come into cryptos on a daily and people live as well but come on, this scheme has already been done one too many times and it feels really sad that people still fall for it out of greed.
If people can actually stop being greedy and hungry for easy money in give aways, it would go a long way in putting this scam scheme in check. I know trying to be first always seems to present a chance but, you always have to ask yourself, what you stand to lose and if its worth it should the whole thing become a scam. Be a little bit curious, thats all you need.

BITCOIN ADAPTATION IN NIGERIA AND RELATIVELY TO THE WOLRD

INTRODUCTION

Over the years, the world has been looking out for a faster and more accurate way of doing a thing better in varying fields of human endeavor especially in technology. There came the era of Bill Gate and Microsoft with a vision of putting computers on every desk in every home for easy computation amongst other. After which came the advent of the internet or the web and Google where people can log on, search and upload information from anywhere around the world as well as the uploaded information could be accessed by anyone worldwide. It also created fields to make the connection of person to persons possible. These innovations came up with the central idea of making the world better with the globe as its targeted market and it existed within a centralized system, crushing all its competition and the rest of the world were compelled to live with it. Now, it’s the era of Bitcoin, a currency based innovation.
There have been over time a need and development of an online based currency without success until bitcoin came along. Bitcoin is a digital currency within a decentralized system that exists on the blockcahin. Now, technology remains a developing field in our world today and only came to humanity some decades ago with its complete admittance and utilization still a work in progress in the developing nations and among certain age grades not within the jet-age category. Due to these facts and speculations, the field is questioned in lots of aspects and not trusted under different counts so; it becomes a thriving idea to discover as to how much people know of bitcoin.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
•   Admission of bitcoin for a currency and exploiting it
•   Acceptance and adherence to false accusations/policies on bitcoin
•   Critics on bitcoin based on references rather than experience
•   Not doing your own research on the field (Bitcoin)
•   Being too used to the old ways of transacting or doing a thing

ISSUES ENCOUNTERED IN COURSE OF THE STUDY
•   Covid-19 regulations with regards to interaction and social distancing
•   Financing the study process
•   Gaining access and the corporation of people
•   Some level of dejection

AIMS AND OBJECTIVE TO THE STUDY
Note: This study was entirely done in Nigeria so, it’s centralized as such although and it’s relative to the world.
This research work isn’t sponsored by anyone and also, it was a research work born out of mine curiosity and as such, the areas of interest is picked out of my curious mind.
•   To actually promote bitcoin, it’s acceptance and usage within my locality and in time, the world
•   To ensure a better understanding of the field for the equipped and knowledgeable few in my locality
•   To let the people know bitcoin is not the enemy rather, an ally
•   To build in individuals the need to research, explore before critics

METHODOLOGY
Random sampling: 100 participants were selected and sampled were randomly selected and sampled within Nigerian adult age grade.
Questionnaires were employed in course of this research
Individuals subjected to this interview did so within their freewill

RESULT
Note: Only 9 samples would be displayed to ensure the thread doesn’t look too clunky and ensure it’s decency.

20-29 = 17
30-39 = 9
40-49 = 5
50 = 7
RATION OF MALE TO FEMALE
Males = 55
Females = 45

SOURCES OF INFORMATION

Friend = 59


POSSIBLE INTERPRETATION
Bitcoin in Nigeria is more of a thing of the youths, looking at the fact that, the youths are the jet age and grew into this technological advancement. Hence are more interested and used to the tech world than other age grades.
The negativism with bitcoin decreased across age groups to form a partial pyramind if viewed in ascending other with regards to age differences though, the 40-49 age grades didn’t respect this order.

It’s of note that, friends are the major source of information with regards to bitcoin and as such, should friends be equipped with the right information; there would be more of a future for bitcoin in Nigeria and relatively the world.

RECOMMENDATION
With Nigeria amongst other nations trying to enforce a ban on bitcoin and crypto, it becomes an increasing need for a crypto awareness campaign in any little way, perhaps through mouth to mouth discussion. To be a song on the lips of bitcoin and crypto enthusiast that should be song to a weary ear and an ignorant mind at any opportune time, so as to promote the crypto legitimacy and awareness

For every crypto enthusiast to ensure they introduced interested members of the public to the bitcointalk.org field as it stands the best place for a crypto education and guide through active discussions and lucrative activities they boost involvement and yields dividend.

In order for there to be no hindrance to bitcoin growth in Nigeria and at large, information dispersion view mouth to mouth is of great importance and people should refer people to the bitcointalk.org for further learning and discussion. It would go a long way by asking them to invest as it creates a sudden phobia to be weary.

REFERENCE
There isn’t any as this just happens to be the first of its kind within my locality.

Note: This research is open for further research and improvements on my limitations and the interpretation of result isn’t conclusive as one man knowledge isn’t enough to make inferences on a data set. It would be updated from time to time if need be.Thanks.

Accepting USD would be of great benefit to the site coupled with the fact that, the football leagues available isn't enough. There is a need r more and more leagues, the established one at most that are futuring and competing international. It gives countrymen the chance to be more open minded on betting on games or teams that they are locally involved with. This stands as a limitation to the site and should be checked out as it would go a long way to encourage more participation.
There should also be a compilation bet system in place, these little things do add up and would yield good result for Future.com

there was a problem when I tried to make a withdrawal and immediately I sent a document, hopefully the document I sent can be confirmed and I can continue betting at Betnomi because I really like the completeness of the selection of odds on sports betting at Betnomi
The last time I made some withdrawal from Betnomi was over 3 months ago, it was very okay then, I don't know for now. The only challenge was, you were probably redirected to use a coin for which the fee wasn't too high. Thats because, more of the withdrawal fee was on them on like other platforms I've gambled on. Its a pretty much advantage but then, not having to select other coins of value could be a problem so, in order to avid this, its best to use other available coins for withdrawal and  still get your money's worth.

Should it be that your coin was sent to an exchange or wallet app that supports swap, then you can swap it to which ever coin of your choice at a minimal rate. I used Ethereum at the time.

Of one of the things o love most is how you carry the project at heart and push participants to being more proactive about the project in a rather friendly being about the rules and at the same time, ensuring participants have no reason for query by being open to complaints in your DM and telegram group as well.

You provide a very needed service and payments for work done in your campaigns have never been a cause to worry.  Its always a pleasure to work with you and you gain my recommendation for further contracting by other projects.
