4201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: February 14, 2021, 08:22:12 AM
Manny Pacquiao is favourite for me to win this fight, judging from his impressive statistics. Though Terence has an undefeated run with 37 wins and no losses, i believe he is no match for Manny coming into this fight with an impressive 62 wins and 7 losses.

I trust that many of us on this forum have struggled with depression at one time or another. Some chronically. It also doesn't seem like there is an easy fix for it.


Every one has in one stage experience or will experience depression. Some people will describe depression as a sickness that affects the mind. It is a disorder that can result in unending sadness and a lack of interest. If you are depressed, please talk to someone about it. (A professional preferably)
4203  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Happy Valentines Day on: February 14, 2021, 07:42:21 AM


I am hoping that Elon Musk would be using this day to be on the news...like he is giving 1 Bitcoin to his own wife or any family member in celebration of the Valentine's Day, the day for giving love and affection.

Lol, this is something to really hope for today, a news like this today from Elon, will definitely raise the new current ATH of btc to somewhere closer or above  the 50k mark. Come on Elon, we await your tweet.
4204  Other / Off-topic / What is your spec? on: February 14, 2021, 07:30:52 AM

I had a discussion with a single friend about the kind of girl he will like to be involved with, he replied with the funniest response i have ever heard. He said - "I want to date a crypto conscious girl, (Lol) I laughed so hard and wanted to find out his reasons, he said he wanted someone that together they will be speculating and watching the market, deciding which and which coin to either buy and sell.

What do you look out for most in the opposite sex?
What is your spec?
4205  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is it weird to wake up 2 hours before anybody else to have time alone? on: February 14, 2021, 07:22:21 AM
All the great men in history that have marvelled their generation were not so much lover's of sleep. As much as it is important to have a good sleep/rest regularly, too much sleeping is not something good. Starting your day very early before others wake up is very good because it gives you a head start to the day. Imagine someone waking up by 7 a:m to do what you already did by 4 a:m.
4206  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The very fundamental of wealth, jealousy, how can we abuse this human behaviour? on: February 14, 2021, 07:17:33 AM


Rich men induce jealousy with money, poor men get jealous.


There are two types of jealousy, the good type of jealousy that motivates and gingers you to want to do better and  the bad type that is full of ills, sadness at another's success and bad wishes. Though it might not be in the intention of anyone to spore up jealousy, it is a human trait that is inherent. It now becomes the decision of the individual to choose his own jealousy. Even the bible describes God as a "jealous God", it is not being jealous that is bad, it is the type of jealousy that you choose to have that will decide if you are good or bad.

Trump not convicted ...what a surprise.


Not so much a surprise to me, despite the charge of insurrection levelled against Trump, it is quite difficult to imagine a past president in prison.
4208  Other / Politics & Society / Misconceptions about valentine. on: February 14, 2021, 06:53:24 AM
I believe in love everyday and not love only on valentine's day, I believe in gifting loved ones even when there is no occasion for it. I believe in sit outs and eat out, lunch and dinner dates with people or someone you love on any day and not necessarily on valentine's day alone. If one truly loves someone, one should show it everyday and not only on a specific day.

Valentine's Day celebration in our society has taken a new turn. It is now a day where those not in a relationship or married feel left out, it is now a day where those who do not get gifts tend to feel a little less loved. A day where common things like gifting and movies, eat outs and dinner dates etc are made to feel as though they were uncommon things that could not happen anyday else.

What is your view on Valentine's Day? Is it a day to fake love and show temporary affection? Is it only for lovers?
4209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is 100% faith on: February 14, 2021, 05:35:52 AM
Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and as he has said -"Bitcoin is faith"  and not so many have faith. Let's face it, not everyone has to be like Elon and Dorsey who are believers. Though his statement might desuave the interest in btc of some who see Mr Jeremy as mentor, it is good news that his statement has no total control effect on the market. Whatever he thinks, doesn't matter.
4210  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Testing a vaccine against a low risk virus. on: February 14, 2021, 05:22:47 AM
The vaccine Developers plan to test their new vaccines on young healthy volunteers. This confuses me, as the immune system of these volunteers will be on top of the virus as soon as it sees it, and it will be difficult to determine the effects of the vaccine. Another problem stems from the fact that 80% of the population has probably developed a natural immunity.

I believe that the results from the experiments will not be completely true. The vaccine might be given the praise that the immune system is suppose to be given. Many friends of mine experienced one or two symptoms of the virus covid (Some mostly reporting a loss in smell and taste) something that they have never experienced in their lives, many did not visit a hospital to get tested or quarantined, they simply stayed home, ate well and took a few medications (mostly vitamins). After some few days, their senses of smell and taste returned. It is safe to say that alot have developed immunity on their own, and simply testing their vaccine on healthy individuals like this might not give a complete and thorough evaluation of the drug (vaccine).
4211  Other / Serious discussion / Re: US Navy sold 9,000 personal data for Bitcoin on: February 14, 2021, 05:04:10 AM

Marquis Asaad Hooper and Natasha Rene Chalk served in the Navy.  According to the authorities, Hooper got access to the database of one of the companies under the pretext of checking personnel. According to the indictment, the couple sold personal information to more than 9,000 people for $ 160,000 in Bitcoin.


The details of your article and the the topic of the article are both not in line. Hooper and Rene served in united states navy, your topic makes it seems as though it was a collective decision by high ranking decision making officers in the navy to sell the private data for its people for btc.

When it comes to financial decisions, one must be careful and tactical about it. Investment is a long term practice and before one can invest, one must be ready to exercise some patience.
4213  Other / Off-topic / Re: Anyone else grow up poor but are better off now and it feels weird to buy things on: February 14, 2021, 01:00:32 AM
It feels weird buying things because of the kind of environment and situation you grew up in. Most times, we are affected throughout life by the situations that surrounded our childhood. However, because you grew up poor, and with a poor mans mentality, it is your duty to let go of such dispositions surrounding money and spending it, so you can actually attract wealth.
4214  Other / Off-topic / Re: What kind of life do you think is perfect? on: February 13, 2021, 09:59:59 PM
A perfect life is a life filled with peace, love and laughter. It is a life where there are good friends, family and money to enjoy together.
4215  Other / Off-topic / Re: Which is the best life? on: February 13, 2021, 09:53:22 PM
Which is the best life and why?  Huh

1. Childhood


Childhood was really a good time, a life free of worries and struggles. All we had to do was eat, sleep and be a kid.
4216  Economy / Trading Discussion / Near success syndrome in trading. on: February 13, 2021, 03:58:36 PM
During the recent spike in the value of TWT, a friend of mine made double her capital trading. Although she had already made double her money, she set her exit point on the trade at a very high point hoping to triple her capital. Before the crash of the market and her profits along with it, she was excited and told me how happy she felt to have made something tangible trading on her own. I adviced her not to be greedy, that she should quickly sell since she has made double and not wait to make triple a her capital, but she refused and insisted on waiting. (I gave the advice  knowing that TWT is not a stable coin).
Some few moments after our conversation, i saw her with a long face saying that the market had crashed and if she had known, she would have followed my advice.

(This is not the first time she has made such a mistake)

Could this be termed "Near success syndrome in trading?".
Are you or Do you know someone with a similar episode?



4217  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People Say btc is Not ponzi but its look like ponzi on: February 13, 2021, 03:30:45 PM
For something to look like something doesn't mean it is the main thing. Pinzi is a scheme to siphon and gather resources from people in a bid to swindle them under the pretense of an investment with a ridiculous profit margin. Bitcoin can be used for ponzi, but it is not Ponzi itself.
4218  Other / Off-topic / Re: BE GRATEFUL FOR LIFE. on: February 13, 2021, 12:30:14 PM
I came across a powerful quote sometime that says that "to be grateful, is an application for more". Constant gratitude for everything and most importantly life is a  character we all should adopt for a better life. The moment you realise that every moment in life is a gift, in that moment, your life changes.
4219  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is it the virus or the treatment that affects mental health? on: February 13, 2021, 12:23:45 PM

Mental stress is one of the problems that the government is increasing by escalating the supposed difficulties of this virus.


The mental stress is something indeed, the constant precautionary measures against a virus we can't see, the wearing of nose masks, constant watchfulness not to carelessly place hands on any surface in public, the constant fight not to touch ones face, then the big one, "THE NEWS FROM THE MEDIA", the deaths, the sad stories of hospitals filled and how health practitioners are working overtime tto keep this all at bay. I find all these mentally exhausting.
4220  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat and cryptocurrency on: February 13, 2021, 12:15:31 PM
..so from my perspective I prefer bitcoin than fiat currency due to fast transactions process across another country, and nothing fiat can purchase bitcoin can't purchase, so no difference between both because all are currency.



As much as they can both considered as currency, there are some things you can't purchase with btc. Not because btc doesn't have a good value for it but because the value of the thing needed to be purchased, might just be too low or the merchant prefers fiat. Imagine buying a kilo of chicken from a merchant and wanting to pay an impatient seller with btc. Such situations are quick transactions and fiat is usually a preferred choice.
