I believe OP was talking about Bitcoin. It's obvious that he panic sold his share when he felt Bitcoin was dumping.

OP, do yourself a great favour — Go and learn the set skills for trading. Just as people learn how to fly planes and become pilots, so also people learn how to trade and become traders. Knowing that won't make you panic at every market correction and call it a dump. Trading isn't gambling. Don't just dabble into it. Be sure it's where you want to be.

Charles, na true wey igehhh talk. One of the oyibo people arguments on top owa matta na sey we nor get any different language wey fit put us as local since na dem language we still dey yarn. Dat one even panic me sef unto sey I reason dem. So e go sweet pass if we go fit dey yarn owa own pidgin all through.

On to the local matta, abeg all of una wey Neva chook mouth for the matta make una go there talk put. My people sey when people piss put together for one place e go get foam.

I like it when managers make it specific to ranks (choosing from the ranks asked for), especially when it has to do with the low ranked members. I have often made that observation on several counts here (on other threads) as I believe low ranked members don't often get a chance at campaigns like higher ranked accounts do. It feels disgusting for me when Legendary members apply to slots asking for category lower than a Hero rank. Well, whatever the justifications are for such "self" debased decision I wouldn't know except that I see it as desperation on the part of the applicant. I don't blame the managers if they decide to pick from such higher rank while ignoring the requested rank. But I blame the higher ranked fellows for not acting the big brother part by allowing the low ranked members that opportunity.

Smartvirus, you dey try wella. E show sey you na confirmento of the confirmed. You dey highly karried and kajared. If I ever get coolele water to sama you everytime wey you drop here I nor go hesitate do am. You na Sabinus na and I know sey you sabi wetin I yarn here. For the odas wey dey run from here, may be dem nor too stay with papi or touch grassroots something wen dem dey grow up na im dey make dem dodge here na to avoid sey persin shoot bird, bird mama fly. Kontinue my broda, I dey gbadun your yarns.

The Binance Smart Chain (BSC) looks like it's more than the tokens you just listed above because of CZ's innovative mind in the crypto space. At least he has shown what he can achieve with an exchange he set up in 2017 now leading the chart. Personally, I will be happy if any token can give the ETH team a nightmare and get more new projects to its own chain. Just take a look at the extortion in gas fee going on in the ETH network, and tell me you're happy with the development. Are you? This is why we need a diversion that can prove to ETH that it isn't after all indispensable.

Honestly I have chewed on this too and wondered who are those still buying ETH and making its value climb despite the extortion going on there in the name of gas fee. It's crazy and that's making little transactions impractical to be carried out. I think projects should begin to divert to Waves or the Binance chain. Miners at ETH are beginning to act larger than life with their monetary preoccupation. The earlier the better to save small projects because no one knows when this extortion will stop. I have a few thousands of a token I want to swap on Metamask but the gas fee  is higher than the entire quantity I want to swap. It's such a pity.

The one thing I have come to associate with Adesanya a few years since I first watched a couple of his past fights is his flexibility with kicks. I once watched him where he got floored mistakenly and the dude rose from the ground without touching the floor. That was really fantastic and shows strength. It was even because of him (may be the countryman connection) that I had the guts to watch a few UFC fights. That sport is a little messy for me because of the kicks and bloody noses therein. I think this collaboration is more of a win for the Stake.com team than for Adesanya because Adesanya is a big and self marketing brand already. I hope he got a nice deal of it, anyway.

That isn't actually a golden rule because it's almost impossible for traders not to keep their coins on exchanges. How do you trade if you don't do that? Those who advocate not keeping one's coins on exchanges are either not being truthful to reality on ground or don't simply understand how trading works. BTW, how do you save your hodlings from dwindling during a crash if you've them on a private wallet, since you can't tether them on private wallet. How do you do that?

I think the golden rule should be — Not your keys, not your Bitcoin!

Wetin be stake news? Or you mean sey na old news (stale news)? Well, dem use the crypto search on accounts so if any account be get any shimkpa with crypto na gbenge be dat nor matta whether na P2P or not. Dis na why e nor get meaning to dey write anything for "reference" wen you dey send money to anyone. Just leave am blank.

Another thing — my people sey na bad thing dem dey expose to make things better. Na reason wey make me nor reduce that picture oh. I know leave am like that make e big to expose we government matta as dem nor wan reason the youth na.

Edited: I don see sey na stale you mean now. Your correction and my post jam de same time.

BTW, Charles & Oshosondy e bi like sey una forget sey na pidgin wey we supposed to dey yarn all through here. Oyibo language supposed dey far from us once we chook head enter this house. Dat na some of the talk wey dem oyibo people dey talk sey we nor supposed give us local board unto sey na their language we go still dey yarn here. Abeg, make all man turn to complete pidgin here. Na owa own language be dat, make we proud with am na.

The skurskur people don start oh. I hope sey the gbenge nor rub anyone here potorpotor sha. Na anything to take bring common man down owa banks dey rush do. Ask dem for loans na, e go take dem forever to process your application. Idiots without a leader. GTBank and Access don already begin dem own closer too.

Honestly, I don't know what these high ranked members who do that stand to gain (if not desperation), knowing full well that full members and below hardly get a chance at campaigns as most Bitcoin paying campaigns exclude them. Senior and higher ranks have campaigns thrown at them week in week out. They should stop being selfish and allow the crumbs to fall off them for others to pick.

Pmalek, I guess that above 👆 answers your advice on "talk amongst yourselves to determine which sections you would like to have"

The truth is that we have the numbers, not just on the Africa continent as the most populated country but also here on the forum (though I don't know the accurate number here). There are many Nigerians scattered across this forum and we need to bring everyone on board in a microcosm to maintain our unity on this Bitcoin story to further advance its awareness and show of solidarity to other Nigerians who may be panicking at a time like this with that senseless ban on cryptocurrencies from the Nigeria political bank — CBN.

I am sure theymos would've seen this thread. We await him doing the needful. Nigerians are an enterprising lot. Only our politicians are lazy and wicked. Those of us here are not the politicians.

"Never say never" should be everyone's watch word. There is no certitude to these things. If anyone told you a few years ago that Bytebal would be a fallen token today would you've believed it or that Walton will sell below a dollar today? People buy certain things either from awareness or share lack of it other than for the cheap price. As a crypto noob in 2017, Dogecoin was among the first three coins I bought during my frenzy to try my hand on crypto that year. I bought it for reason of two things — it was among the top coins on the CMC then, secondly the price was very cheap. I didn't even know what its hub or team or road map or white paper was all about. I guess it's the same way a lot of people will be buying it now too. If you look at Bitcoin, I am sure not even up to 5% of those who use it has read the white paper. I hope Dogecoin continues to soar.

I have a hunch that since 2021 is a crypto year Dogecoin will gradually continue to rise even if Elon doesn't tweet about it again. This we have seen in the past few days even after it relapsed to 5cents after the pump it is gradually going up back to 8cents. If only it can do another 100%. I have often wondered myself if it would be possible to put a limit to the total supply of doge and then burn the excess tokens to increase market price. If this is ever done we will see doge moon uncontrollably.

Yeah I know, but adopting it shows a legal backing for it and encourages citizens to indulge it. How do you compare the Kenya news on Bitcoin and that from the CBN of Nigeria a few days ago? Which would you rather prefer? Of course, your answer will convincingly tilt towards Kenya. But the regrettable truth is that the Nigeria CBN banning Bitcoin and other crypto activities won't stop Nigerians from trading those assets, it will only make government lose revenue that ordinarily should be accruing from tax on the assets. I like what Kenya is trying to do.

Maybe he was scared of John McAfee 

On a more serious note, Elon's thing isn't just with Bitcoin. He has been shilling for Dogecoin too. Perhaps, he didn't want any distractions from his innovative electric autos until now. He knows the power of influence, and influence got from wealth. Elon Musk is the current richest being on planet earth. He knows whatever he says now will be taken seriously. That's why he's becoming outspoken now. He waited for his time and now is the right time to make his statement.

What do you mean by no utility and usage when the coin(though a meme coin) is used for payment and gambling? Do you truly understand what utility means? Well, Dogecoin getting to $1 will surely be a great miracle because its supply is very huge. The total supply isn't even known. A project with an infinite supply like Dogecoin is difficult to pull up well. This is what has kept Doge down all that while until Elon came on the scene. Except there will be coin burning, and only that will make its price fly on its own. On a subjective mood, I would like for Dogecoin to even get to $5, and I guess you know why  

Well, that was in the past as it takes longer now to have a transaction confirmed. I have had transactions stuck for over 48hrs on several deals. It's a shame that delayed transactions are now a common thing with Bitcoin.

In a sane society what the OP put out there about a lawsuit would gladden the minds of many because justice would be served at the end. But OP, you and I know that Nigeria is a peculiar country with no respect for rule of law and of the courts. Politicians choose what court orders to obey and that's to the ones that favour them. However, the good thing here is that Bitcoin has come to stay; whether anyone likes it or not. Nigeria is only shooting itself in the foot with that ban action.

Certainly, the way you feel about your lost Bitcoin now is the same way a lot of folks will feel about Dogecoin a few months now. On the advice thing, it's sad to let you know that nothing can be done about you recovering your lost Bitcoin since you don't have a backup or can't remember your private key. It may not have been stolen for the person who picked your lost phone may not even have known about Bitcoin or how to harvest it. But if none of you doesn't get it, the Bitcoin is lost forever.

Next time OP (and others too who fall into this category), always have a security lock on your phone. That way, anyone who steals your phone can't assess your vitals on it. If whoever steals your phone flashes the phone, all stored docs on it will be wiped off and that gets you assured that only you still can restore your files and apps. Also, always back up your stuff offline. Writing them down on papers will do. It's as simple as that.

Apart from all the crazy stuff going on with Ethereum (which is sad to say the least, anyway), I am enjoying this momentous Bitcoin bull run. Of course, anyone who doesn't have any drop of Satoshi or those who sold too early thinking they could buy back at a dump will be the ones not feeling happy ATM. For me, the joy isn't just with Bitcoin rally but with the awareness that at a time like this alts also pick up in price and exposure to more investors. We are back to the good old days in crypto. In fact, 2021 is looking already as the best year for Bitcoin.
