The high transaction fee currently, have discouraged a lot of businesses that accepts bitcoin to stop accepting bitcoin. If you must accept bitcoin in your business, it should be an alternative payment method and Fiat should be the first because we don't know if the high transaction fee will last for long and I believe that if it didn't last for long, there is high probability that it will still happen in future, until bitcoin devs look for a way to get rid of ordinals from the blockchain. Accepting bitcoin is an advantage because you will have more customers than businesses that accepts only fiat because customers can use any payment method of their choice. You can also keep your profit in bitcoin after payment and convert the capital to fiat due to the volatile nature of bitcoin.

The only way that i can see USD becomes weak is when they are no longer the world power, but as long as they are still the world power to decide on what to do in the world and how to handle issues of other countries, the USD remains the most used currency for international trade because all most all the countries in the world that is rich is connected with doing business in the US. The BRICS wouldn't be able to have one currency that will be able to superior over USD, only if they can join force against US to take over world power which will be impossible. US is connected to most countries for business in one o two ways.

Gambling is more of a man thing than women because men can spend carelessly and forget about their important needs, it is after they ha e lost their bankroll that they will realize themselves. Women are good managers and that is why it is hard for you to see them gambling that much because they already understand that gambling will lead to waste of resources. Majority of women that gambles are doing it for fun and not for profit sake, this is why they can be a good gambler than men.

Bitcoin is a long term high yielding crop. The crop that takes a long time to produce is also very profitable. If you had bought $550 worth of bitcoins in 2015-2016, $550 would have grown about 15-16 times. One piece of advice I have for everyone, which I'm very keen to implement myself, is to say you have $20 and invest it in Bitcoins, and then invest $20 in Bitcoins, so at one time you have $20+$20. = $40 will multiply.From there you keep a portion of the profit for yourself and reinvest it with Bitcoin. At some point that $40 of yours will turn into almost $400. Thus $400 to $4000 then $4000 will influence you towards success.
If there is any mistake between the words, please correct it.
Bitcoin is not a crop, Bitcoin is a digital asset that gives you total control over your money and no third party can decide when you can make use of your Bitcoin, and you can also send money to your friends at ease with Bitcoin.
Your strategy is only for the people who want to hold Bitcoin for the short term and this strategy will make you not get a good profit from your Bitcoin investment, and you can still miss out on Bitcoin because you will be waiting for the price of Bitcoin to drop, so you can rebuy but Bitcoin price keep make an upward trend. I will advise you to use the DCA strategy in accumulating your Bitcoin, the DCA strategy will also control the volatility part of Bitcoin on your Bitcoin investment. For instance, if you want to buy $100 worth of Bitcoin, you can divide the $100 into 10 places and use it to buy Bitcoin weekly until you accumulate the $100 worth of Bitcoin you want to hold.
Thank you very much for giving nice idea about Bitcoin. And I compared bitcoin to crops for example.
You shouldn't compare a digital currency with high volatile nature with a mere crop that doesn't have the potential to give good profits over time. Can you invest on any crop and keep it for up to 4yrs and above. Bitcoin is decentralized and has great potentials which makes it currently to be more profitable than any other long existing asset over time. Bitcoin should be compared with assest like gold and real estate that have the capacity to give you good profit after a long period of time due to their value. Crop are for consumption purposes and not for investment. I still see that you don't understand the potential that bitcoin has which is making institutions and investors pressuring for bitcoin ETF approval. If you don't have any bitcoin, you should buy now and don't waste anytime because bitcoin is an asset that is worth holding to be part of your life just like the way we always have fiat currency with us. Use DCA approach to invest in bitcoin and grow your bitcoin portfolio with time and only invest with the amount that you can afford to lose, since you just want to get started. Have an emergency funds ready and funds that you will need for your monthly expenses available so that you can hodli for long and increase your bitcoin investment.
486  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drug (cocaine) addicts compromises gambling potentials on: January 11, 2024, 04:41:44 PM
I will blame the gambler for his doom because he decided to abandon his laundry shop that has being assisting him to take care of his drug expenses and decided to see gambling as the best alternative to get rich quick to use on his drug expenses. Laziness and greed took over him and he messed up his life with gambling. He was OK when he was doing drugs with his small business but he frustrated himself when he jumped into gambling. This is the same way that anyone who is not into drugs will also end up if he thinks that gambling is a means to make profit because that person will end up an addict and he will keep on chasing his loss to his doom. On what Omokri said, he is only beating around the bush, this is because Nigeria is a consuming country and don't produce any of those commodity in the country, but import most of them. This is what led to the poor economy state and not gambling. Let the government think of producing more than consuming and the economy will improve. It is bad to have people with low mentality in the government because they wouldn't be able to figure out the problem that the country is facing and it's solution.
487  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Summary of Events/News that led to bitcoin bull run and bear market since 2013. on: January 11, 2024, 02:41:29 PM
I decided to summarize the events/news that led to bitcoin bull run and bear market since 2013 to date.

Bull run 2013: August 2013, Bitcoin was officially declared as a unit of account by German regulators. This led to the adoption of bitcoin, and by December 2013 the price of bitcoin reached $1163 for the first time, which is the first bull run.

February 2014: After the bull run come the bear market and this was caused by the hack of Mt. Gox Exchange, in which around 750000 bitcoin that belongs to users was stolen and this led to the bankruptcy of the exchange. Bitcoin price crashed from $600 to $111, which was a 90% drop in just two months from $1000-$111.

Bull run 2017: 2017 was the year that thousands of cryptocurrency was created and ICO mania. This made the crypto market like a casino, where investors decide to invest on different altcoins to see it they will make profit, but they were all disappointed as the altcoins failed them. This led to investors having more trust in bitcoin and this fuelled bitcoin price from $1000 to $19892 in December 15, which gave a 20x rise on price of bitcoin within 12 months. However the rumor was that one of the altcoins dev pump funds into bitcoin to manipulate the price.

Bear market 2018: In January 2018, Chinese authorities forcefully shut down mining operations in China, which made miners pack up their bags and moved to a bitcoin friendly country like Russia. The made bitcoin price to dip from 14,093 to $3250, which was the bottom line of that circle.

Bull run 2021: The bull run was triggered with the news that US SEC will launch the first Bitcoin ETF in the US, also Tesla announced acquiring $1.5b worth of bitcoin. These news skyrocket the price of bitcoin, which led to the high demand of bitcoin due to FOMO and the price of bitcoin hits ATH of $65k in November 2021.

Bear market 2022: Bitcoin price started to dip due to some natural challenges in the crypto market, but the worst of it all was the crash of FTX. In November 21,2022, bitcoin price dip to 15787 with a drop of 63%, and that was the bottom line. Bitcoin started bouncing back from January 2023 and till date the price is still moving up.

Bull run 2025: The news of Bitcoin ETF approval is a great news that will help bitcoin price to reach a new ATH in the coming bull run after the halving, and let's hope to see a good price of bitcoin
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/guides/bitcoin-price-history

I might say that the approval of Bitcoin ETF by SEC is a good news for bitcoin price to skyrocket during the bull run but we haven't seen any change in price yet.

Quote
Bitcoin is the only digital asset that Gensler routinely acknowledges is not a security, maintaining that the vast majority of other tokens fit the legal definition of securities that are rightfully under the SEC's jurisdiction.

Gary Gensler was under pressure and this forced him to approve Bitcoin ETF
What are your thoughts on this?

Edit: Dani Carvajal brought Real Madrid back to the game in the 86th minutes so the score line has been leveled back to 3:3, looking at the pressure been given to ATM right now I think Real Madrid may win the game if ATM defenders fails to hold them down before the final whistle will be blown. It's been a good game between the two big teams and being a derby match ATM has really improved in their performance because Real Madrid has always dominated them but tonight if the game ends in a 3:3 draw it's a good score for ATM.
The score is still the same (Real Madrid 3 vs 3 Atletico Madrid). The first extra time is over, there is no change in the score. If there is no more goal in the second extra time, we will have a penalty shootout. However, I'm still optimistic that Real Madrid will score another goal in the next extra time. They are very dominating the match, there are 20 shot attempts. But they must need to be calmer to succeed in scoring goals.

Well, if the winner must determine by a penalty shootout, I think Real Madrid is still superior. They have better players to be the penalty kickers. Real Madrid players are also more experienced in the crucial time like this. We must remember that Real Madrid often win the match in injury time or penalty shootout
The game is over and Real Madrid won 5-3. Two goals was scored under 7 minutes which was within 115mins-122mins. Athletico goalie was the cause of the last goal as he went down to Real Madrid box to see if he can be lucky to score or assist in a goal, but unfortunately he was not smart enough, as Joselu was fast enough to give Diaz Brahim a through pass, in which Oblak was in front running towards the ball but Diaz had the intention of making gest of Oblak, and he ran with speed passed him, and got the ball which Diaz played into an empty net. The 4th goal was an own goal and Joselu claimed the celebration. The match that was tough enough to the extra time, finally finished with 2 goals ahead of ATH. The winner between Barca and Osasuna will meet Real Madrid in the finals.
489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: January 10, 2024, 01:07:46 PM
....
Yes, that's true. There is no guarantee from anyone that this prediction can give us victory. Even though he admits that he has often won his bets in many matches, he still cannot guarantee that he will win the next match. This is why we have to carry out analysis using our skills so that we don't just follow what someone claims to be an expert says. By doing analysis, we have done what we think is best and can also see where he got his predictions.

...


i also think that if an expert gambler understands the game he is analyzing why doesn't he play it himself and take all the profits for himself? why does he need to build a referral network and open a paid telegram group? if it weren't for wanting to get money from people who want to make a quick profit, he wouldn't want to open a gambling analysis group and share his analysis there.

and i am sure that the analysis he did was not the analysis he usually does on his own account, it is definitely not the same because after all an expert gambler has secrets and strategies which he will not share with other people even when that person pays a subscription with him.
The so called experts are only after extorting money from people in disguise of giving them a sure game that will win. Nobody will love to disclose to people how he makes money especially in gambling that if you are lucky you will hit it big. I believe that if those so called expert gamblers have 100% guarantee that the game will win, they will go as far as borrowing huge amount of money to bet on the game and after winning, they will pay back their debts. Looking at the way they are doing it, it still shows that they are analyzing the game from their own understanding which makes it 50-50 chance of winning. I can say thy those of us that even understa6some games a little can do better when analyzing than the so called expert gamblers. Gamble for fun and do your analysis yourself and forget about people giving you predictions, so that if you win, you will be happy that you were lucky and if you lose, you wouldn't put the blame on someone else.
490  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: January 10, 2024, 11:15:01 AM
OP, you need to be open to your husband and there should be nothing to hide because if he finds out by himself, he will get mad at you for keeping your gambling activities secrete, and this might somehow affect your marriage. You should know the best time to tell him, when he is in a happy mood, I think that will be the best time to tell him, and when telling him make him know that you are doing it because you need little experience in the gambling field. Also tell him that it is temporary and after some time, you will quit. Gamble occasionally since you are a woman and don't let it get into your head. Whatever the outcome of your discussion will be just calm down and take things step by step.
491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SEC Approves ETF - Turns out, NOT on: January 10, 2024, 08:29:12 AM
Human are desperate when it comes to getting what they want. The hack of Gary Gensley x account must be from one of those institutions that wants to trade bitcoin because they have already stashed up their bags believing that today SEC will approve bitcoin ETF. This was why they had to do the hack to give false news to the public, so that within that period, the price of bitcoin will soar. Unfortunately for the hackers, not quite long that the rumor was in the air, was when Gary Gensley cleared the air that his x account was hacked. This means that no one is safe from these hackers if they mean to hack into any of your account, this is why we should be careful with our security when using the internet. I don't care about the approval of bitcoin ETF because it will be an attack on financial freedom.

493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 09, 2024, 06:12:18 PM

With the presence of Kevin de Bruyne Manchester City performance will surely improve a lot because it was because of the absence of Kelvin de Bruyne that made Manchester City performing a bit poor on the premier League that made them enter the fourth position on the table but however it seems they have started peaking form because after there wining they were able to move from were they are to the third position they are now, so perhaps considering there points difference Manchester City has a great chance of correcting there mistakes, perhaps all they need right now is consistent in there wining and they will become the premier League top one.

In essence, the competition for the title will return only about Liverpool and Manchester City because ya, of course Manchester City will be able to improve its performance for the better with De Bruyne return from a long injury. But for the next Premier League match, in fact Manchester City will play away against Newcastle. With the opposition likely remaining a strong opponent then ya, it still looks like De Bruyne will not play the full 90 minutes because of course, a slow process is still needed so that De Bruyne no longer suffers injuries.

I don't know if it is a good idea to make the assumption about Manchester City and Liverpool being the top contenders for the title. Because this season a lot of teams have been playing well and there have been some unexpected results. I don't think anyone thought Aston Villa was going to be in the second position. And I don't think people actually predicted that Tottenham was going to lose some matches consistently when they were at the top of the table for quite a long time towards the start of the season. So anything can still happen. Manchester City is definitely going to be in the title race. But I think the other teams are also not going to give up.
We cannot conclude yet on the clubs that will be consistent in the title race because I still see the top four on the table capable of winning league this season. We don't know the challenges that any of the top four clubs on the table will face as time passes by and that is why I will not conclude yet because the season is still young. Injury is what declines the performance of a club as we have seen it in Man city case and some other clubs, the worst of it all is that a club should become weak towards the end of the season due to injury on the key player, that club will face her worst time because there will be no hope for the title race. Liverpool, Arsernal, Aston Villa and Man city, any of these club might face some more challenges in the future, which will limit their chances of winning the league.
494  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does this Qualifies you to give non-professional or semi-professional financial on: January 09, 2024, 04:35:05 PM
I don't have 15yrs experience in bitcoin but I think that with the little experience that I have for two years now, I can give someone a semiprofessional advice on how to start his bitcoin journey. For one to get started is not something that needs a lot of 15yrs experience, the important thing is to know when it will be bear and when it will be bull and these are within one circle. This is why when one want to invest in bitcoin, he should have a long term investment plan and have his emergency funds prepared so that during the time that he is accumulating using DCA strategy either buying weekly or monthly, he will not be forced to sell his bitcoin when it is not of his will. Investing in bitcoin is like every other business that takes time before you can reap the profit and patience with sacrifice is the key to long term investment. However, it is the person choice to invest. Using a self custody wallet and keeping your bitcoin safe is also important for a long term holder.

OP, no one here will invest in your project with the way that you have presented it. The worst of all, you only dropped a telegram link which makes it not fair enough for discussion. You are new here with no reputation and you want people to just digest whatever you tell them, no it is not done that way, because there are a lot of scammers who come here and direct people to their telegram for easy scam. How far have this your casino project gone, are you just getting started or you are at the middle of the project, and what makes you think that people will trust you on this. We need more transparency on this as writing alone is not enough.

The government has always become a threat to our privacy and freedom as they do everything possible to see that they control everything about human. From the look of things the government is trying to control bitcoin and make it frustrating for people who will not give them the opportunity for them to take control of bitcoin. This is why the government have asked SEC to approve bitcoin ETF so that most people can buy and keep their bitcoin with third parties that requires KYC, and they will soon start deceiving the public that keeping bitcoin with a third party is the safest, so that they can be able to control bitcoin. Anything the government controls becomes shit, p2p bitcoin transaction is now becoming a problem due to high transaction fee. I will not be surprised is government buys over all the mining pool and ask for KYC before your transaction will be added to the blockchain, who knows if they government is even behind BRC2p token that has congested the mempool and making it difficult bitcoiners to enjoy cheap transaction fee. Together we can make their plans not possible by staying away from CEX.

Take casino games for example especially jackpot casino games there is no way you can tell me that all of them are structured in such a way that they randomly always make money for the house if you ask me gambling is a fraud that has been used to trick people into believing that their choices matter it does not everyone that gambles is just there to make money for the casino unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about human nature 💔💔💔
If you know that gambling is a means of fraud, and casino are using this to extort money from gamblers, why are you still gambling, you can just quit gambling finally, so that you don't become their victim anymore. However, I disagree with you on that statement because, I have seen a lot of gamblers that won big and their money was given to them. Gambling is known as try your luck and if you think that you are capable of winning, you can try your luck, and this should be done for fun and not because you want use it as an advantage to make money, if so, you got it wrong. There are some casinos that are out there to scam people and such casinos don't last as they will always deprive gamblers from their win. It is hard to win more than you lose and put that in your mind.

Poverty is a major key to insecurity because when the government fails to provide job opportunities for its citizens and decides to embezzle the country's funds, it will make the citizens to start thinking evil and they can involve themselves in some illegal activities. Corruption is another problem, when corruption is the order of the day, there will be sponsors of terrorism and kidnap in the country because the sponsors are after their own personal interest. Due to corruption, the security agents wouldn't take their job serious and they will be after bribe and not for the good of the country. The fact remains that there is no way to get rid of insecurity finally in a country because we are humans and we have wicked minds.
499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 07, 2024, 08:17:15 PM

Very important 3 points for them and they also avoided to concede any goals. I think those are the games that bring back the strong morals for a team that has recently undergone a little crisis. Maybe crisis is the wrong word, but after they kept up so well for so long with Inter Milan and then fell behind, extending their current streak and not conceding any goals while scoring three time away from home is the perfect result for them.
Juventus were able to win their game and continue to pursue Inter, and thus they continue to maintain intrigue in Serie A. And Fiorentina could not beat Sassuolo, well, it’s a pity that this happened, but I said this before, Fiorentina and Bologna are teams that are not ready to fight for the top 4, so their stay at the top of the tournament table is a temporary phenomenon and Lazio is already trying to correct this and I think in the coming rounds Lazio will bypass these teams.
Juventus were lucky to have won their game. It would have been worse considering the way they played and their position on the table.
I don't know what to say about Napoli, because I was rooting for them to win today, but somehow maybe due to the absence of Osimhen and Zambo, who are off on international duty, they couldn't even score a goal and had to loose by 3 goals.
They still stay below Juventus at number 9 and will have to do better in next fixtures.
They were more than lucky because Salernitana was mean to draw the match as they were able to calm the pressure mounting on them by Juventus, but on the 90+1 minutes, Juventus decided to separate the men from the boys by scoring on the needed goal to give them victory over their opponent. Juventus deserves the wins so that they will be stay on track with Inter in the title race. However, Juventus need to add more effort and improve more because it was a narrow escape victory and assuming Zlahovic didn't come to their rescue, the gap between Juventus and Inter will be something that they might not be able to close for a long time.. This is because Inter has taken it personal upon themselves to win the league this season.

Vlahovic has scored the winning goal for Juventus.
what a superb header on the 90mins stoppage time was the breakthrough to get all three points.
Their opponent Salernit was a hard nut to crack despite one man down. Another victory for Juventus to close the gap of the title race. Tonight will be a remarkable night for Juventus and I know that Inter fans wouldn't be happy with that goal.
