This move has shown perfectly why CEX shouldn't be part of a decentralized world.

Also, I wonder how many will get in trouble when visiting their exchange with a different IP, this can turn into a wave of abuse from some, they will ask that you connect from the same location as your last deposit or you can kiss your money goodbye! I would get every single penny out of an exchange I can access only through a VPN and is blocked in my country, they could simply say that what you're doing is breaking the law as per their Toss and take everything you have, who are you going to complain to? Local police?  
Yeah, this is a crazy situation but an absolute pointer to depart from overreliance on CEX,  but is sad the approach is harsh on the citizens who may lack the knowledge of decentralization.

Most crypto users in Nigeria are majorly traders,  who buy and sell coins,  the set of cryptocurrency users in Nigeria make up for the large total volume coming from the side, and only a few have the basic knowledge such as how best to secure your coins in a fully decentralized manner.

This is not the first time an ugly event and pronunciation like this will happened,  and each time the government got the approach wrong.

IMO, Government want to ban anything that has to do with crypto currencies, first of all the CBN lifted the banned from crypto currency and now they are manipulating the Bitcoiners in Nigeria, my question is what is the essence of lifting the ban on crypto currency the first place. However this tells me that they just wanted to use the opportunity to get the identities of Nigeria Bitcoiners in naija.
On this situation, there is no other way to use exchanges without making use of VPN, there is always another solution in anything concerning crypto currencies.
First the government have a game plan and that is why their lifted the ban on cryptocurrencies recently,  and if everything work out for the,  government may approve direct bank cryptocurrency transactions,  which in that way it will give the access to tax crypto users in Nigeria,  although this may work to so a certain level,  but won't solve the problem of revenue linkage in Nigeria.

The big question is, what are the ratio of control and accuracy in the decision to end Nigerians access to cryptocurrency exchanges,  because just like when the government ban twitter,  Nigerians we're still able to use the platform through other means like VPN or so.

This will not be different from that situation also,  and if care is not taken,  the outcome of this authocratic move will bring more negative impact on the currency and inflation in the country,  because many cryptocurrencies related businesses will relocate to other friendly environment.

Did you think before that only Binanace website was banned?

I have noticed that not only Binanace website you will not be able to access, you can not also access other sites like Bybit, OKX, HTX and others.

I have noticed this before 7th of March since many days ago after the Binance website was banned. Other exchange websites were also banned.
Charles you are right,  this blockage was part of the first order given by the government and it was immediately carried out, For like two weeks or a week now,  I have tried to use all the cryptocurrency exchange websites and none is working currently,  and I know it may remain so for as long as possible.

The government is taking every measure to climb down on in registered exchanges,  and the bad side is that the money the government places on exchange licenses is huge and almost impossible for individuals or institutions to meet up with anyways we always have our way around and we pray that all this end in our favour on the long run.

First how and you know that the whale actually sold his Bitcoin,  just because by just saying that the Bitcoins were moved from the wallet to an exchange does not signify that he sold out already,  because he may have moved the coin there for any other possible reason that could have been the reason.

So for the above reason,  there is no way we can know what and how far a whale has gone with his bitcoin holding either he wants to hold them on the exchange instead of his personal wallet that has been left dormant since 2010 that was stated in the article posted.
485  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are people still using bitcoin ATMs? on: March 07, 2024, 10:26:57 PM
Occasionally I hear about Bitcoin ATMs expanding to more and more places. So I would have to assume people use them. It sure seems like a pretty bad way to buy Bitcoin, considering the fees, but people must be using them since they keep growing their numbers.
In my region,  the growth of Bitcoin ATMs have not been visible recently unlike in the last one year when some citizens and members in this forum from my local board shared news about a new Bitcoin ATM in their locality,  but lately there have been a lot of financial crisis in the country economy where the government is closing down on all medium of exchanges within the economy so at the moment the development is kept on low key since the government come after any available bitcoin ATM in the nearest future

I am pretty confident that their signature campaign within this forum will definitely run for a long time thanks to their high budget, but I could be wrong since they could it shut it down quickly if they aren't getting the desired results.
They will analyze results they got and decide to continue it or stop it but surely as their campaign participant, I hope they will keep it running for a long time. Especially the bull market is a good time to do advertisement because people with profit from the market will need some places to spend money, for fun and for making fortune.

Probably. I hope they host more such competitions with minimal requirements within this forum in the future, but I feel like I am expecting too much.
With support and advice from their signature campaign's manager, I believe such idea will be brought to the MetaWin team for internal discussion. Again I really hope to see they will diversify their marketing includes more activities in Bitcointalk forum.
I have not visited this site so I can tell categorically how their services are but then this casino caught my attention since they launched the signature and a few members started advertising them,  but then also I agree with the fact rhat if the feature of the casino are user friendly and the act in accordance with acceptable ways of operation,  in no distance time they should be able to build the needed reputation and presence here in the forum.

But overall their have started we'll in terms of their marketing here but then also if time permit them and the have the necessary budget to support that effort for a long lasting time,  that way ther will generate alot of engagement and trafics,  one of the other suggestion is to run a review campaign because doing that will bring in real time players directly from the forum and also they will be mandated to give they first hand review about the casino which will help a lot in the future.

Looks like the opportunity for Al Nassr winning domestic league tittle in this season have been over after defeating by Al Raed over 1-3 and make too large points left with top standings awhile Al Hilal. Last match, Cristiano Ronaldo can't help more give three points for Al Nassr and unbelievable with the bottom standings team Al Raed success get the victory although playing on Al Nassr's home.

Current 9 points remaining awhile with Al Hilal seems become 12 points left with consistency performance and easily for winning upcoming match against Al Riyadh, next match Al Hilal will face Al Riyadh and it is a great chance to make 12 point gap from Al Nassr and will celebrate early for the domestic league winning if can consistent taking three points every matches left, its large possibilities for Al Hilal winning domestic league on matchday 30 if Al Nassr not losses points any more and Al Hilal keep in the winning performance.

Tonight's game was a very sad outcome for AU Nassr who was very close to lifting this season's Saudi Arabia league after putting up some good performances and also having some of the best players on the team,  but seeing how the we're defeated with 3 goals to 1 against a club that is considering the status of the AI Raed who were not up to the standard of AI Nassrr but was able to win them with multiple goals.

The decline performance from the AI Nasser was not just in this match but also in the last few games their performance have declined significantly and to the point that smaller teams in the leagues are beginning to take advantage of the loss of consistency in the season.

Even without a striker, Real Madrid has only loss one match in this league, they draw most often matches they are supposed to loss which is a good move to me, the teams that have all the best strikers are not even topping the table. If they win this league by this structure, I will give more accolades to Ancelottie for his style of managing this players but I believe that by next season, one of them between Rodrigo, Mbape(when he finally comes) and Bellingham will be turned to a full striker.
Really Real Madrid have struggled all through the season,  even when their don't concealed defeat their will mostly draw matches which is some what not too good and totally not bad,  but then Real Madrid can do more if their have best hand on ground and best their are making attempts to bring in new players in the next season when Mbape will come on board the teams.

I believe that Mbape will be perfect fit to replace the former players positions,  that have affected their performance in the last two seasons.

Now mobile phones and internet are very accessible and every family now has more than one smartphone due to which children grow up with smartphones and internet from childhood. Since they already have an understanding of smart phones and the internet, it does not take them much time to understand gambling. Many people get involved in gambling between the ages of 13 and 15. If a person can become addicted to drugs at fifteen, it is not difficult to become addicted to gambling at the age of fifteen. At this age boys and girls must understand about gambling but it can be a problem for them financially because at this age there is usually no opportunity to earn money so they have to depend on the family for money. Children who gamble between the ages of 13 and 15 must take money from their family and gamble with that money.
The availability of all those things have harm the society alot and this could be said to be the hight of the disadvantages of the internet and smartphones,  it opens us as users to so many opportunities and freedom to have access to so many things without stepping out of our homes and that gives alot of privacy,  but this freedom have been negatively used and the impact on under age kids is growing at an alarming stage and if care is not taken this may consume the future.

This have not only impacted under age gambling alone,  but also even in the way kids behaves and tends to act in a indecent ways lately also speak volume to the negativity of this tool,  and this trigger the question in me,  whether if the parent's have failed in they responsibility or the government have not don enough in terms of cyber security.
490  Economy / Gambling / Re: [SOLVED] Betnomi | Project status & Refund Plan! on: March 07, 2024, 05:17:20 PM
Hi there, just wanted to give you an update about my refund request. After betnomi-User told here, that also people who missed the initial message have a chance to get a refund, I requested it via Mail. Until today I didn't get any answer or a refund. So please betnomi, if you read this, just send my BTC back as you promised.
Well you can send a reminder to the email again and the confusing thing is that, the team did not give any specific timing as when they will respond to such requests or if the will reply to your email also.

But regardless I advice you send a follow-up reminder and wait a bit and keep an eye on this thread to see if you could lay your hand on anything eventually from the team representatives here in the forum.
491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: March 07, 2024, 05:10:16 PM


IMO, yesterday's match was not a boring match but it was a very interesting match because both teams attacked each other and ended with a draw.
when you say Vinicius is up front alone, I think that's wrong because he is in the side striker position and is accompanied Bellingham and Valverde.
Indeed, Real Madrid seems to be having difficulty in this match, but it's all because they lack a pure striker and only rely on Vinic or Bellingham, so the winning score is always narrow and threatens Real Madrid success if they continue to only get wins with very narrow scores.
at least Ancelotti has proven that he is successful in taking his team to the next round even though there will be a lot of changes, at least Real Madrid must be able to try to get to the final round in the UCL and in La Liga matches I never doubt because Madrid will continue to appear consistently in La Liga to defend the title this season.
I don't know why so many football observers are seeing many tournaments and leagues to be boring at this period in time, I read also one comment in the Saudi Arabia league thread where a member also mentioned the league to be boring, well let me tell you why some feels the various leagues are boring at this stage, is because of the time because the various leagues have gone pass 70% conclusions which make it clear that some clubs would have given up by now and a situation where Many others are facing various crisis in terms of player's.

Like Real Madrid for example as you rightly said the club lack a good striker to deliver the goals, ever since Bezema left that wife, there have not been any good replacements, which is why the club either settles for draw or lose, this is effecting the club greatly in this season.

Op the best thing to do since you are a newbie and then. Launching a new project then you must buy a copper membership first here in order to an images from your thread and make it professional looking. Anyways as a new project you can't have many customers easily so you need to put more effort ik marketing in order to catch some customer.  But also OP it will base on your performance as well if you have a good performance then you can have more customers.
Well not a must to buy copper member account, but just a way to improve the ability it may not be necessary to some projects since if their have intention to grow their activities here in the forum, the will grow they activities and needed merits to be able to do what other members are posting here in the forum.

I was so excited to see a new poker platform being introduced into this forum and also I have seen some few things that attracts me to the site which is it ability to load fast and light in my browser, unlike some that I need to refresh a couple of time before I can access the site, Which means if they can improve on that, they will be able to build a good reputation for themselves here in the forum.

So we just can say welcome and we hope the implements all the good suggestions from members of the forum to help improve the sites operations.
493  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin all time high, is it ETF effects or pre halving cycle on: March 07, 2024, 04:44:21 PM
I'm not sure if upset is the right word here, but we had plenty of time and opportunities to acquire more Bitcoin. The bear market lasted quite long, with prices even below $20,000 that lasted months. Opportunities were endless, but unfortunately, I wasn't in the best situation to purchase and stuck to signature campaign earnings. I guess you're right about my approach; the truth is that with an average purchase price of $29,000, I've more than doubled my money and will possibly even triple it in the near future.

The only thing I'm missing is earning more than 3 mBTC per week. Due to the lower value, accumulation was a lot faster than it is now, but that's okay.


Everyone can get into specific life situations where some other things prevent them from doing what they really want in life, but it's good if such things are transient and we can return to our daily routines. I personally had some ideas regarding this bull run that would include some somewhat crazy moves that would allow me to invest a slightly larger amount of BTC that I would keep for at least two years and then sell since I don't pay taxes then - but still I gave up at the last minute because I don't want to gamble with things that simply shouldn't be gambled on.

You always have a chance to add a little extra income, you just need to try to be a little more active in some other places Wink
I think at this point, with the relevant cash flow one can effortlessly invest in bitcoin regardless of how long he intend to keep his holdings, since we already have a background understanding that bitcoin is better off with time, which means the longer you hold bitcoin the better it gets since it supply keep getting limited and scarce at certain blocks size which assured investors and increasing rewards.

I bet I will jump on getting more bitcoin if I have the chances to, because it far more better and safer than every other form of investments lately.

Take example those that bought bitcoin below 20k or even $30k there are already in 2x profit's in less than 1 year timeframe, so I support any ability to buy more bitcoin and hodle for long.
494  Economy / Economics / Re: Reckless financial decision ? on: March 06, 2024, 11:17:28 PM
I don't think that it's a reckless financial decision, that celebrity's got a lifestyle that he/she can't live without and so he ends up having to decline it, I guess that celebrity has a principle that he doesn't want to break anytime soon plus he's a celebrity so I don't think that they're going to have a problem finding other million dollar deal, and I don't think that they're going to be offered a million dollar deal if they're not already a millionaire and from what I can deduce from that, these celebrity's probably financially stable and got a lot of income stream so that rejection might not be a big deal to that person, maybe it's just us at the bottom that sees it as a reckless decision and I think that we can learn something from that person.
For me, that's a reckless financial decision. Yes, they may have their lifestyle but they can't sustain their lifestyle if it's not with these contracts. That's a huge money that's been thrown in the pit if that person can't stop some vices that the company or contract want him to get rid of.
It's not about the principle but that celebrity simply can't let go of his vice because once you're addicted to it, you can't get rid of it and that's what a real swag is, disposing million dollars of contract for a vice.
Very currect because the celebrity is a clear example of what addiction can do to anyone how can you let go of a multi million deal because you are not allow to smoke on stage, I don't know what the music industry is turning into with the over usage of drug, and come to think of it, won't this affects his future deals because many companies may buy caught such an artist if they know that he can work on stage without taking a substance such as hard as weed on stage.

I believe that celebrity may comes from my country, where the music industry is polluted with alot nonsense and promoting drugs and other negative vises, any ways, it is such a shame to have such outcome regardless of what the level of the musicians my be, if they keep rejecting offers, very soon they may go broke.
495  Economy / Economics / Re: Why are some countries being sentimental with bitcoin and the cryptos at large? on: March 06, 2024, 11:02:07 PM
Government will ban anything their don't have control over and decentralised cryptocurrency like bitcoin are one of such coins that the government can never have control over, or interfere innit transactions, this is obvious a threat to some of the countries leaders who lack the ability to properly understand the role that bitcoin plaus in the economy both at individual level, or institutions or government, but for the fact that just a low percentage of people around the world know and use bitcoin, government believes that the could eventually easily eliminate it when the feel it threat to their economy.

Most of the counties that attack bitcoin, are those that have not economic prosperity or any plan or programs that can help boost the economy and the lack of that have resulted in many of them having a misplaced priority and seeing that cryptocurrency is the enemy of their economy and they tend to attack it with either an outright ban or blankets ban in form of harsh regulation.
496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: March 06, 2024, 10:45:31 PM
How do we regulate our emotions while betting and how important is it?
It is easy to control your emotion while bettingbif you are disciplined and gambling responsibly. What you just need to do is to have a gambling budget and do not let it be more than 1 to 5% of your weekly or monthly income. Assuming you are earning $500 weekly and you are using just 5% to bet which is just $25, that can not affect you financially. But if it will affect you financially, you can go as low as using $5 which is 1% of your income. If you try this, you will see that gambling is good and fun and you will be able to control your emotions. But do not go more than your gambling budget which should be a small amount/percentage from your income which can not affect you financially.
You are right, but to be honest with you, I think the ways of one controlling his or her emotions in gambling is easier said than done, based on my personal experiences by the way.

Gambling is filled with temptation, someone earning $500 weekly or monthly can set out $5 to $25 dollars for gambling and keep the rest for other important thngs, but trust me, there must come a time and day when that gambler will play and lose the $5 or $25 and still feel a very strong urge to still some gamble some more, for winning is just by the corner, and this mostly happens in casino or slot games, the player may then feel like "OK, i still have $475, let me take out $75, and keep $400, which is a round figure", he or she will then start playing again with the $75, which he or she may eventually loss all after some minor wins here and there.

This is something I have personally experienced a couple of times, though I now know how best to deal with such when ever it comes, butt  for the newbie gamblers, it can be very difficult not to fall for such tricks.
We all have hard that experience of not following what we speak or follow our lay down principle when it comes to gambling, this experience is same to almost everyone gambler's at first you get so carried away not to follow your principle and becoming carried way by emotions, but while we grow in gamblywe are able to fine our way around it and fight not to allow emotions into our gambling space because that has always been the root cause of many loses that have been recorded in the past and for that we need to eliminate the  tendency of that in our gambling decisions.

Many times, we need to put up a mechanism that can protect us while gambling and this mechanism should be able to help us to gain the necessary responsibilities that we need in other to make healthy gambling decisions, and this could come from our failure or bad experiences.
497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 06, 2024, 10:28:28 PM
Basically Liverpool and Manchester City have been unbeaten teams in home games so far this season but unfortunately, considering about Liverpool's squad this moment that is not completely fit and good then yes, at least that factor makes Manchester City have a chance to win. But indeed, I also do not expect a victory for Manchester City in this match but anyway, at the same time I am also not entirely sure about the situation and condition of Liverpool at this moment. Therefore, then of course a draw will still be a good result and not bad as you say. Because after all, although Arsenal managed to top the standings, but in fact their gap is also still equally close and will only have a gap of 1 point with Liverpool. Therefore, if Liverpool find it difficult to beat Manchester City in this match later, then a draw will still be good result for Liverpool and not bad at all.
Yes, despite Liverpool's remarkable consistency throughout the season and Manchester City's continued status as favorites, the latter team is still not performing up to par with the former. These two teams are unpredictable, though, as the Manchester City team appears to be underperforming this season at times; their performance is remarkably similar to that of the previous one. Let's wait and see how it unfolds, though, since Liverpool may appear stronger in these games because they are familiar with their roster. It's possible they will defeat Manchester City, but we never sure yet.

One of the under dog club that is going to take us by surprise this season is Asernal because with all indication, Asernal is on the verge of breaking out even with just less few games to go, but judging fromnthe starisitic of the club, this season seems to be heading to Asernal although the gap between them and the Liverpool club who is the first club topping the league is not that far amd anything can happen since livwrpool already have some factors working again them currently like high rate of injured players and other things thatay hinder them from finishing the season very strong.

But taking a look at Asernal you will already see how consistent their have been in their approach toward climbing up to the top, their have managed to win most of the match with higher goals score on each match compared to other clubs and that will increase the chances rapidly.
498  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are not to gamble. on: March 06, 2024, 09:38:07 PM
Gambling can be fun and also become a serious problem if not done appropriately. Alot of gambler get themselves into problem because they gamble anyhow and anytime. There are some times you should take a break in gambling so that you won't become an addict or give yourself problem. Time you shouldn't gamble includes:
I gamble regularly but sometimes when I have spare time and alone I try to enjoy that time by gambling. But I try to avoid certain things. Like when I need more money. Because Because I know that if I fall in greed, I will suffer more. But at that moment my chances of loss are high. I also don't try hard to recover my losses but rather my losses increased. I prefer to avoid gambling when I am under stress for various reasons. Because I know that I won't be able to make good decisions. Although I gamble regularly, I try to control my gambling there. Gambling is not a income scheme through which we can own quick money from it.
The thing is that, the problem is not in gambling all the time, but what the unhealthy behaviour is for a gambler and just as the ops mention in the first page, you will see that he already point out some few things about gambling and what the best state of mind to gamble and be at winning or bearable loses, because regardless of how strong you are that you may still lose but if you are gambling to just get entertained and not to chase any particular directions that have the most negative impact on the well being of the gambler.

Another serious point I want to make reference to is also in the area of when you should not gamble if you don't understand the game well or having the control over your emotions, like being drunk you should avoid gambling if you are not mentaly ok.

This is quite interesting op but how do i join in the Bivest campaign if it is still open?
This thread is specifically for bitvest concerns and not of the campaign, there is the campaign thread that's for this concern of yours.

And with that, you have to read the updates if there are open slots or none. But I'd do you a favor that there are some slots for senior members only if you read the second to the last update of our campaign manager, Brainboss.
Is not hard to get information about the signature campaign all that you need to do is to visit the service section, and check for the campaign, if there be any an opening, you will have to apply and wait to know if the manager accepts your application or not, and from the update on the thread you can know what the state of the campaign is and where they are in terms of payment.

Honestly if people were dumb enough to buy the nfts then they shoukd be accountable for themselves.  The price of the nfts is dictated by the free market as it should be.  I don't know why so many people are surprised that all of these nft prices fell off the face of the earth.  They are useless digital pictures for the most part.  99.9% of all of them do little to nothing for the owner of them.
I am curious to know the latest on this case, I have being searching the internet to see some information as related to this case, but it seems that there is no public updates on this Matter or is it that I am searching the wrong direction and need to look other ways.

If so be it that I have not gotten any information and any one that have any latest update on this case can update me with the latest as regards to this Christiano Ronaldo case.
