For some reason I stopped keeping up with this thread because I feel like most people are faking it but the truth about it is they are indirectly motivating alot of people including me.

With my current schedule of school activities and building my career I have found myself reducing the rate at which I take the challenge because I don't have enough time by my side, I have to attend a lot of classes, do both assignments and the rest of it.

Even with the reduction in practice, I have noticed much difference in on my body, it's really good to put oneself into things that will benefit you than say what you won't do. I'm more fit than before, I think I was among the first people who started this challenge and I'm going to a great number of push-ups almost a 3,000 push-ups and this was even based on my little health challenge that I had to stop at some point but at least with this I'm okay and practicing more.

I also enjoy reading through the thread seeing people interested in the challenge and how much Bitcoin they have been able to accumulate I had to also increase my stash of Bitcoin with my signature campaign payment, infact every of the experience is worth it.

If anyone is practicing this challenge I commend you to take it serious not for anyone's good but for yourself. I will only be hitting more push-ups during the weekend in the gym but for now my hands are tight. Good luck to everyone here.

Perhaps you aren't enlightened with the rate of scams in the world before hand which is the reason you fell for the scam. It has been on air that scammers are roaming around looking for vulnerable people to scam, such scam has been popular be the fact that you haven't heard of it till now shows that not everyone has heard of it yet but for me I have a very much similar experiences with scammers but I didn't give in because I'm always suspicious of everything untill it's proven beyond doubt.

In such a situation as yours what is always best is to seek people around you opinions before you can go ahead to take any action. if someone was aware of your transaction with the scammer maybe he or she would have brought you out of your unconscious/conscious state of mind, hence scam would have been prevented.

Perhaps you have learnt a big lesson out of this experience and as such you wouldn't be making such mistake again, as you rightly said beyond the crypto world there are a lot of scams that seems so really but if everyone can be suspicious of everything then scam will reduced because once scammers notice that you're trying to find the truth before you take any action they will flee away.

Anyways, sorry for such a bad experience and lost of funds that would have been used to purchase some Bitcoin now that we are in the bull season.

Before we go into conclusion, it vital to be rational in thinking. this friend of yours is truly in need of help as the economic is becoming very dangerous to it's citizens, so what he was actually requesting was a source of income to cope the current situation and not a future solution to his problem, although if he dedicate his time to work hard in your area of business he would get a good result even before the estimated time. but the truth is what if he was going to be okay in less than that 6 months which he would work before he starts seeing the benefit so I had thought of it before he decided not to continue.

What im saying in essence is some people are not interested to work for so long to get the result, they only need an instant paying job like a salary job to cop with the economic situation. so we can not conclude that they want help but they are not serious to work.

Furthermore, some people are truly not ready to work but expect to reap where they didn't plant that is why most people go into commiting crime than find job.

I love the idea of educating the younger generation to be self dependant, and to be creative enough. but the fact of teaching children on how to invest in Bitcoin to create jobs for themselves I don't buy that idea.

For me I like to say let children be children don't bother them with a knowledge that is above them.
In the area of education, the formal educational system that was introduced has failed or is no longer working and as such we have to flow with the current movement of the world instead of going to acquire certificate why not teach us how to be productive in order not to beg for work.

I realized that it is not like I'm Lossing interest in gambling but the fact that I'm so busy this days has reduced the chance of gambling. Unlike before I used to be very less busy, as student after classes I just rest and watch movies, while watching movies, i login to my online casino and stake the little up keep money that I kept for gambling and that became a routine but after I engage myself to learning and improving my graphics design skill and photography skill every day get engagements from clients and only time im less busy I'm in the forum reading ups and downs. So with such a busy schedule I don't long gamble much.

So this made me think that people who became gambling addicts where a result of being less busy with life, if one is busy I don't think he or she will become addicted to gambling. Which at the end will amount to examining ones steps to confirm if you're deviating from the original position to an addict like nature.

I don notice plenty things for the local board and I don try to correct most people like me for the forum and local board, say no be to just wake up write any lie wey dey your head thinking say the lie go fetch you merit, people here don get plenty experience and so those things wey them think say na new lie say no body go know, the forum don last for over 15 years now and those lies people don tell am before us am make merit so now the people don wise no matter how you frame your won lie Dem go understand say na that type of lie wey dem don see before.

My concern be say anytime wey I correct person them go shout say na bully or them go use that opportunity chuck me say me too I be newbie for the forum, na true say I be newbie but e get some things wey I understand and I naim mane I dey tell Dem but them no go ever agree. but any ways I know say for this LB or forum self I dey among the youngest so if them like make them do anything wey dem like I go still dey at advantage because I go learn fast pass them.

So people here dey create but lack guardian, if people wey sabi for here dey guide person well omor some people dey very brilliant enough to make good post. but as you talk am na to dey creative no be to lie full ground.

Of course, there are people who invest in bitcoin monthly even weekly and it's called dollar cost averaging (DCA) which is considered the most reliable way of buying Bitcoin because it gives you the opportunity to take care of other responsibilities without altering your investment.

Exactly, it's better to keep our wins to ourselves, if you ever loss and discuss it with your friends, family or anyone else they will have this feeling telling you that you're making big mistakes by Lossing to casinos. it if you tell them that you win it will make them feel like they aren't trying.

Sometimes it's a motivation to work more hard on themselves if it's in other part of business but when it comes to gambling it's not a motivation because it could lead to hate because gambling is a luck based and if it doesn't work for them like it did for you then it turns to envy or hates.

I have this experience recently with a friend, or my course mate who usually visit my house, when me and other guys discusses how much we are expecting from our hustle he gets a bad feeling and from then i noticed he has withdrawn friendship with us since his not making such money, i felt instead feeling jealous why not join us, it only takes time to learn this skills but he rather leave than learn.

So I have learnt my lesson that never to discuss my wins with people especially when they aren't wining too.

You can not conclude that Bitcoin transactions accelerators don't work because you had a bad experience with one.

I one had a bad experience too with an acceleration vendor that takes fees from people claiming to accelerate transactions but they usually just put them in one of the accelerators and it's done then you pay them, after I discovered asked people with more experiences and I was directed to viabtc and surely it worked.

Now that you have asked question, I guess you wouldn't conclude that accelerators don't work because of your one experience.

I'm not too aquatinted with technical knowledge but from a quick search I just did, such thing happens if you have created or imported an old wallet while the Bitcoin core is running and then you deleted it from the disk while it's still in memory and then you created another one using the same name, it proceeds to write both the deleted and new wallet descriptors to the wallet.dat [1]

This might be totally wrong because from the source I read it from it was specifically for ordinals issues.

Perhaps most people are begining to realize that keeping up with the economic flow of a nation or the world at large is the only way to remain in business, just as you have said every one needs to step up there games in order not to be stepped down.

The world is moving from one stage to another and we must flow with the trends to be part of the great future, if one is stuck with past it's always very difficult for them to upgrade themselves, we are no in a computer related world and someone is business trying to count everything his business manually when others are using am Hines to do that fast that's exactly what is means to step up and prepare for both the ups and downs of life and you will overcome every economical situation of the globe.

The truth is i don't have enough bitcoin yet in my portfolio that is worth saving with such material, but i will perhaps reach a level.

We are now in a global village where i can buy something very important to me from another country and it will get to me if I'm prepared to get it, GiG works in somany country so if eventually i got it from someone from the forum in another country where GiG operates then it can be shipped to me here in our country, nothing is impossible but to be honest, we are not yet in such state of requiring a crypto steel.

A thousand dollar each is quite a very big amount that I would have love to use and increase my stash in Bitcoin but I would go for the 5 below if that's an option for me;

[1] Solana (SOL)
[2] XRP (XRP)
[3] Dogecoin (DOGE)
[4] Polygon (MATIC)
[5] Chainlink (LINK)
 
Here will be my options because I don't like most of the coins in the market not for any other reason but because I don't feel like buying them ven if I have a whole lot of money (extra) cash to invest.

If there is a possibility of finding a coin that is $0.00001 price then it's an almost impossible idea. even the memecoins most are shitty to the extent that they don't even raise at all from the first time of purchase, so any one trying to find a low cap coins to invest in is equally gambling with a high odd that is probably never going to play fine.

I always advise people to stick to know coins in order not to be in regret. most people just jump into coins (newbies in the crypto space) believing that every cryptocurrency is the same so since Bitcoin rised to the current amount any shitcoin can do so too, that is the believe of most hence they fail into buying some scam memecoins that never happens to rise till it disappears from the space.

Perhaps your are right buddy! based on the rate of some pump and dumb coins in the space, it has risen to the extent that even good altcoins that are trying to surface are seen as scam projects because they have been mixed in the time and era of shitcoins, or pump and dump tokens.

Its absolutely not good to hold shitcoins for long but at the same time one could be luck since investing on this coins are more like gambling, so it's luck based, if you're lucky enough you can profit by holding for long.

Although I prefer to stay with coins/ tokens that has been performing in the last few years but its still also a good idea to wager with new coins that is only dependant on your research, if you're convinced enough to take the risk then you can stake an amount that you can afford to lose.

If one keeps betting around newly introduced coins he or she could fall into a coin that will do so well and can pay off all other losses. For instance I have a free $100 dollar i can decide to split them $10 dollar each to a coin I'm excited and believe in hence one could be in a good profit.

Above is just a rational thinking of me but i only stick to already known coins.

There is a solution to such situations

There is something called crypto steel[1] it was invented as a result of this kind of situation, this crypto steel can survive all kind of attack mentioned above, it's used to enter ever word of your wallet phrases, and it has different methods or modes.

If you're in a situation that you required such tool for backup, you can go service board I guess there is someone sell it there.

Personally I would like to first examine what exactly is jack of all trades and master of none. From my perspective it's ascribed to someone who is practically jumping from one skill to another without mastering any of it. I will give an example to express my view better, for instance if someone is into film making his required to have at least good knowledge of photography and other things related to film making while there are people who are specialist on just one of areas in film making.

What I'm saying in essence is that Jack of all trades means someone that is not focused in one area rather he is moving from one skill to another instead of learn skills that can push the main skill.

For me I would prefer being a specialist on one area because if I acquired an extraordinary skill in an area I would stand a chance to grab every opportunity that might arise in my area of specialization.

I love the concept of this thread so much, you're very much in line with my ideas on how to improve ourselves in the forum and both outside. if we watch very well here in the forum must of the successful members of the forum have an extra Skil that is making them more prominent and reliant to an extent that if they leave for a week we all notice there absence. Most have taking their time to learn communication skills, Coding/Programming languages that are some how related to Bitcoin knowledge and as such we can see how well they communicate there knowledge.

Outside the forum it's must likely to be people with extraordinary skills that do more well than those who are dependant only one ordinary knowledge, it very much paramount to have a good knowledge that could help push you more in any of your career. our thinking shouldn't be only how to invest and make profit as you rightly said we should also think of how to improve ourselves but physically by working out for good health and mental to increase our knowledge from the ordinary to extraordinary knowledge.

I have met several people who are genius in thinking, they have different ideas cultivated in their heads but they got no capital to establish them.
some people are made in such a way that they can think but can't put what they think in action, so perhaps if they could think such we expect them to achieve it but it's the opposite. they are not might to work towards this ideas, they are only there to help you think and sometimes it turns bad if you use their ideas without permission and become successful, then they will automatically see you as the enemy.

This kind of people need a team of action people that can put their ideas into action and if properly examined the teams will go far or even invent things through this calibers of people's thinking.

Its part of their characteristics, to be lazy in nature but have all the ideas in there head. I love this kind of people so much, I believe that this is one of the secrets of big companies. they employ thinkers and workers, will the thinkers are lazy but have good ideas the works have to idea but can work so hard. combining this two force it can drive a team to a good destination.
