You of all people with your rank on the forum shouldn't have replied in a hurry and based on just a context without reading the full story. If you read the post again, you would know that I rebuffed the claim of the all-time high of Localbitcoins against Paxul using Google and Yahoo as an example, as not an indication of their present and future successes in my reply, which borne what you quoted.

This is business (crypto or not), and records are being broken yearly, so you are so wrong that history will repeat itself because it's crypto-related as no one will ever be able to break business records.

You're totally wrong!

I've read a lot of dissatisfaction about Arsenal in recent days and people have not reserved their frustration at all. If care is not taken, they could still be displaced to the third spot. This year makes it about 2 decades since Arsenal won the EPL, that is too far, this was their chance but they are now being unserious, to the extent that unexpected clubs now beat them.

As for Man City, they started well this season before they fumbles, but now, they have geared up again, which is an advantage for them. Humanly, judged by past speculations, Nottingham Forest can't beat them but this is football.

The answer is, Yes, Bitcoin can be trusted! However, you were not prepared for this question simply because you know little about Bitcoin and blockchain technology and how they come into play with the acceptance by people and the world government. The coin has opened the eye of the world to blockchain technology and has advanced digital payment systems which some governments are now building upon.

This is not a project that will just disappear so soon, so, anyone could trust it. I recommend you to read to educate yourself and your friend:

What Nigeria lacks that led us into the current mess is basically good leaders, so if we get it right this time, hope will come and things will start changing from bad to good, but this will take time. The country has been battered for decades, and it can't be fixed easily, yet a good leader now is desperately needed that will set things back to what they should be before other good leaders will start building on it.

I hope this will happen one day, but I am certain that it will never happen with the PDP and APC candidates. If the two enters, then we continue from where we stopped.

I still believe you are very clueless about this, so one can invest long-term in Bitcoin and have a guaranteed profit but they will have a guaranteed loss when they invest in Crude oil, USDX, Gold and others? You are just naive, that's what I can say. No business gives guaranteed income, your speculation, management and expertise will pay off. If you are careless about the time you invest and divest in BTC, you will lose.

As for your claim on centralisation, it's not an obstacle in the real world my dear, it has existed before decentralized means and many have enmassed wealth to themselves via it without a problem. Even Bitcoin will not survive without fiats, or do you spend Bitcoin daily? Let's be realistic.

Don't dwell in the past glory, you can't use all-time success to judge the stability and suitability of any business. The all-time high I even read was in 2017 and it's $130M but that is not the case here. Yahoo was doing better than Google some time ago, but can you compare the two in earnings now? Paxful was a better competitor and traffic trackers ranked it #16,947 while Localbitcoins ranked #42,159. That should mean something to you.

I don't think so, if they lost due to KYC, why are the others with the same KYC flourishing in the business? What I have noticed is that businesses with their model accepting all manner of payment systems for P2P need due process to protect themselves and their customers because fraudsters are everywhere.

People with their own opinions, but to me, this is just like a disturbance. The site of the casinos already has it and some would send it directly to your email, so there is no missing link here. That's why it's always good to have active emails while you register with any company you so desire their services.

I have been dealing with companies online for decades, and I have never yearned for a better notification means than on my email for news, promotions, products/services and new development.

Arsenal has done nonsense, despite not being a fan, I was forced to support them to make it since they have been denied of the cup for too long. They had the advantage but started misbehaving since they are receiving praise all over the place. Well, the reality is seen now but it's not too late for them if they could do the needful. While they were relaxing, Man City was firing and better, same as Man U, they are now a very good threat to the club and I don't think they can regain the freedom of having many points away from the next opponent.

However, it's not that bad for them, they should be able to defeat Aston Villa easily.

I simply don't know what initiated this post by the OP, such is so ill-informed, and I don't know why people are always pitching Bitcoin against fiat as if Bitcoin can survive without fiat.

Well, if you must know, nothing is eating nothing, there are times when fiat will thrive and nothing will stop the thriving of Bitcoin when its time comes. The USD for example has proven itself to be so dependable and dominating in the world, so it should be disregarded entirely because of Bitcoin? Common!!! Wake up.

However, the rate hike in the world is not to threaten anything but a measure to limit the effect of inflation on the economy. It's a regular world standard practice, so what?

Initially, I thought the older cousin did not have time for the fiancee because of gambling before I realized that it was about forcing him to quit. Well, a party in a relationship should not force things on the other, that should is not acceptable. Courtesy demands the fiancee to take her time to investigate the situation and know how responsible he is towards the act. See, there are best husbands and fathers that gamble, and there are most irresponsible fathers and husbands that do not gamble. For someone to be gambling does not mean he's irresponsible, so the fiancee should not condemn him. Since this earns him extra income, I don't think is a bad idea in all ramifications.

#Case study:
My wife (then fiancee) about a decade ago frowned at the fact that I drink alcohol. But as a man, I let her know that I can "never" quit because I don't abuse it. She talked and talked, but I did not listen. On getting to know me and my drinking habit, could you believe that she's the one using her money to stock the house of it till today?

Once what you do makes you happy or supports you financially, I see no reason why you should stop it.

What a story! But I would love it if you can clarify better. What I could infer from your story is that your friend started with a safe bet but ended aggressively, am I correct? Because we can't call it a safe bet anymore when the gambler resolved to bet all his money in just a live game, am I also correct?

No game is certain except that some are worth trusting, but when it has become live, I see nothing safe in that. Perhaps, people often mistake the term "safe bet."

It's nice to see nonprofit organisations doing a thing like this, and have bookmarked it and will, in turn, share it with others in case they know some people suffering from gambling addiction. People stigmatise a lot and instead of proffering solutions, they will condemn, which aggravates the suffering of people with addiction. Thankfully, a resourceful site like this exists, it will help a lot of people to achieve their sense back.

Addiction is real, it could cost someone their lives if care is not taken, and it takes one's determination to overcome it for real.

There are many centralised exchanges that have helped the crypto space so much in the past, and people often look for ways to cheat their services such as P2P services. This is a big challenge but I still do not believe that it's the main reason why Localbitcoins decided to stop their service. Paxful and other rivals are doing well and recording regular yearly gains to buttress my point.

What I believe is that they (Localbitcoins) are short of partonge compared to cost of running their service, hence the need to shutdown.

I so much appreciate this article as it's what I love to read most as an investor. It's such that strikes my attention on where next to invest my money. I must be cautious as usual, but with my preliminary speculations on the 1D and 5D charts of the Adani Enterprise, I discovered that the recovery is real. I will only do my extensive analysis to be sure that it's buyable. This must be doable for holding for the next 6 months as I averagely do in all my asset purchases.

Perhaps it would take about 3 years for it to enjoy tangible growth as seen on the higher charts.

I've considered myself a prophet in the financial market these days because almost all that I predicted comes to be exactly as I did. And this is a reminder of the surprising inflation as I indicated in an old reply above for the month of January. It doesn't agree with the OP with the "declining trend of inflation" portrayed by it as I had the view that inflation just corrected, but it's still plaguing. The January US inflation report proves that to be correct as seen below, and inflation might have started scoring again, and this can't be good for Bitcoin if last year's correlation is eventually followed.



Hence, the need for FED and FOMC to be extremely careful and the reason for Federal Funds Rate increase last month.

Inflation bit last year, it's my hope that it doesn't repeat this year. Nonetheless, I had warned those that claimed that inflation is gone severally, it was a clear correction then and it has indicated its stance on bullish reversal. Who knows for how long this would last? The US CPI released yesterday as shown below is an indication, and it did not leave any of them out (Core, Normal and Yearly).



This has started affecting the FX market, gold included, but the crypto market is still stabilising. This might be another time for Bitcoin to prove itself as a dependable asset during inflation. But I doubt this if I must be sincere.

You are funny actually, who is freezing your money in the USDX because of inflation? So if they freeze your money, they will now turn to BTC, right? You must be a joker. The USDX has been invested in for centuries, even when the global economy is in a downturn and depression. Investment is an investment, no one has frozen anyone's money in fiat investment because of inflation which does not concern your safe investment.

Furthermore, you might invest in USDX in another fiat currency, so it's all about you, and all fiats cannot be frozen because of inflation. But one thing that is sure is that once the company you are dealing with is not insolvent, you will get your money back. Inflation does not have jurisdiction here, and BTC can never take the place of the USD and fiats in many realities.

Although I'm not used to this site of yours, this does not come as a surprise to me, crypto is the order of the day and it is helping beyond anyone could imagine. There are many people that would have wanted to participate in donations all around the world, but the high fee and inaccessibility of a preferred payment method would prevent them from doing so.

Bitcoin and other cryptos have put an end to that, and within a few minutes, they can make their donations, and this comes with a ridiculously low transaction fee.

So, expect more soon.

I wonder why some things are the preferences of some people because I see nothing much in getting your money out of a casino with the medium you put the money in. A lot of ways are devised to cheat the world's integrity system these days, and this is how it starts. If any casino is allowing you to deposit through a means and withdraw through other means, I believe they are not to be trusted internally.

They might pay your money, but surely, their regulation is either very weak or fake, that's if they preach they have one.

I partly agree with you on this, and the reason is that as much as we would want to use the old results and performances to judge the match between Man City and Arsenal, we should still know that things are changing. Man City has improved considerably compared to recent times, and Arsenal has reduced in that regard. Yet, this is a crucial match, and Arsenal would want to give in their best as they should have realized their mistakes, and that, it's not yet the time to relax.

It seems the monthly coach award has crept into Arteta's head, maybe this is the time for him to wake up and make his squad do the same.
