If you think this will happen sooner or later then surprising how people still use bitcoin for transaction purpose so this should not be something new cause I have actually seen people pay with bitcoin, even with this idea it doesn't necessary mean people should abandon using fiat cause a lot of bitcoin enthusiasts choose to hold bitcoin for investment purpose etc. Op, your idea is great but you should deviate this idea to something else not fiat and bitcoin, there's no comparison so let's not make a big deal from this.
I will prefer to store my bitcoin rather than using it for transaction purpose to buy food stuffs, I read a similar topic here and the op was criticizing a tenant who used bitcoin as means of paying rent instead of storing it, to be sincere in as much as we need the adoption of bitcoin to increase this is not the right way to do such. Don't even dream of a cashless society cause a lot of people will find other alternative.

If we should start considering people's view about crypto or bitcoin then we will hear different opinions and sometimes those opinions are not valid so it's best to focus on how they can adopt and know more about bitcoin.
Some might tag such investment as a get rich scheme, scam scheme due to past experience dealing with the internet, most people tag the internet as something that's related to scammers but this is not actually right, people like this have refused to grow their mindset that's why we still hear stories and lament about scammers. Bitcoin has come to stay and with the adoption increase it shows people have accepted the fact that bitcoin investment can be use to store wealth for future purpose.

Have you by any chance thought about bitcoin and how bitcoin gain popularity or rather how you take hear about bitcoin, some people don hear but them no feel like to accept am, one thing I will always tell people is don't discriminate any thing that has to do with new technology cause the world don dey change and it's best you accept the change.
Any person wey never hear about bitcoin for now no dey use social media or rather you're referring to old people wey no get interest, every social media platform dey talk about crypto almost everyday and person go use social media talk say bitcoin dey strange. Bitcoin adoption depends on the view and how people see am no be only to hear.

The answer to your question depends on the kind of crime you're referring to and secondly if you're referring to common offence then there's no point tracking you, do you know the number of people on social media that talks bad on the government and their policy, some even make mockery words but still there's no such. Back to your question, the government can track you anytime, day etc. Even our phones and simcard has our private information, NIN etc so you thinking the government can't track you sounds funny.

First question, if I may ask how does this addiction work for few people, anytime I keep facing challenges with something I will prefer to quit, it's always best to quit before it's too late.
Second question, if this act has turned to an addiction then it's too late or rather the person is willing to change, the idea of getting busy with work can stop this act, a jobless person should find something doing and get busy with the work, in essence keep yourself and mind out from gambling and focus more on work. There's no solution to gambling addiction but I have seen people who escaped from such and each time I ask they'll always respond with build your mind, so I think the mind really play a big role in humans mostly the ability to resist an act.

If this person in question keeps insisting and he can't resist such urge then this might be difficult to handle. I believe people like this also want to change cause there's no life for him if he keeps continuing like this.
In my opinion let him learn the hard way so he will change for good, you can't force anyone to change their lifestyle neither the way they think so he should learn his lessons by himself.
You can't actually change him but you can introduce an investment that can help in terms of storing wealth for future purpose. People like this should always have an investment for future purpose cause they lack the idea to save.

You should never be in haste to invest especially when the coin is over hyped, not all crypto enthusiasts deal with newly coins and if probably why not invest with liitle amount first, have seen the coin and I never cared to pay attention and seeing it here still doesn't give full guarantee, I will advice, as an investor even with others opinion make your research first so you know what you're actually doing.
Dear op, if you think this coin is so good then you should invest and hold. I strongly believe the future of Jupiter lies in Solana, looking at the marketcap it's not a bad idea choosing Jupiter but it should be from your own will.

I never experience this wahala but if this one happen and I sure say e no go happen but for example, I will feel so pained especially the sending of coin to a wrong address, this one go really pain, even the time I transfer money and airtime to a wrong person the wahala pain me talkless of coin. I believe people wey dey actually make this mistake go get solution to the problem but for some cases the coin don go. I see one thread for beginners and help wey the person mistakenly send coin give forum member and the person send the coin back, this is just simple like if you make such mistake and the person receiving the money no wicked then you're lucky.
The second wahala really big and if coin miss like that if there's no solution and lack of proper investigation to know how the thing happen then it's likely another coin go definitely loss again, na carelessness na dey cause all this things and make everybody dey guarded with their coins.

Gambling addiction has a regulation method if only they'll change and gamble for fun, although gambling for fun doesn't come so easy and it takes an independent man to quit and bet responsible.
The aspect of little kids growing up with such mentality is just too bad and parents who get involve and expose this act to their kids are doing the wrong thing, sometimes they do send their kids to visit the gambling shop and it sounds funny but I have seen such in my locality, gambling is not bad but when it turns to an addiction then it needs to be regulated.
Violence, violence should be the common enemy of every gambler cause this can lead to something worse, after taking a loan to bet and the game never went as you planned, this should be painful to the extend people commit murder just because of depression, have seen several stories like this and I believe people like this never wanted to commit murder but the urge just keep coming due to anger issue and it can't be controlled. In my opinion and I always tell every newbie I come across, if you can't control this act it's likely the act will control and suppress you, it's best to avoid gambling at the early stage to prevent unnecessary drama.

Your list are quite right but just one wrong decision you can destroy the plan and process. This doesn't give full trust about any project cause I have seen few projects that went well from start and all of a sudden the project got crashed and investors where left with no option to accept the fact. Altcoin investment is just took risky to joke with so if you're not ready then don't invest. You can still decide to take those risk and make some profit so it depends on the kind of coins. You listed the step investors should take before buying any coin, I will prefer to buy a coin that has gain trust or rather has influence, secondly don't trust any coin easily with few testimonies we hear online cause those testimonies might be false, sometimes people who share those testimonies are part of the project. When dealing with altcoin we need to be smart

As I dey reason the word "no gree" many things dey attached to the word and na meaningful word except na person wey no take am serious. No gree for scammers for the crypto space na go one in essence no carry your money play with some coins wey dey serve as scam scheme.
Talking about scammers and transaction, why you give them your attention at the first place, e get some transactions we no suppose do as smart investors and no be every investment choice need our attention, it's best to ignore all of them follow for the no gree for anybody this 2024.

The best thing now is you've realise your mistake and you should not go back to such again, what's good is you never bought any of those coins or else you'll be regretting.
Make research and even with people's opinion in the forum always make your own research cause I can decide to invest in some random coins and I will just share same information here unknowingly to you, since you heard such coin here you will just decide to invest, this is wrong cause an investor should always make a research before investing.
If this coin we are talking about is so low in terms of quality how did you get to find this coin, never trust a low quality coins with all your resource.

If I have such money I will first split the money for my investment, bitcoin, ethereum, BNB, this three should be fine for me, as an investor who doesn't like spreading such huge amount. I will divide the money and bitcoin will probably take the highest amount. This investment is just for long term so I will buy and hold to make profit in the bull market.
With this amount no one should mention any random coin, be sure of what you want and know what you're doing as an investor.

Every investor must have this characteristic of taking risk especially when dealing with an investment that fluctuate (crypto), just because crypto is risky doesn't give room for foolish like some investors will behave, just like what you said is a nice idea, buying at your own risk and use the money you know you can live without. Taking risk also give room for making research and any risk without research is beyond risk besides there's no investment with zero risk, all investment are risky and still beneficial. The only advantage is to be partaker of the benefit involve  Aside from bitcoin investment and ethereum, I don't know for others but I have guarantee of both coind that's why the choosed those two, I can't give full prediction of the market that's what makes the investment a risky one.

I actually think you should make this decision personal because you'll get different kinds of opinion here, in my opinion you should sell those coins first to know the worth and buy according to your desire, although it sounds stressful and paying a double fee also can always discourage an  investor from choosing this method.
I have a friend that sells and buy a lot of coins but I have never seen him using this method of converting the coin but rather he sells to buy new coins and I actually feel this is the best idea.

In my opinion all what you listed should be considered before going for the platform, high transaction fees can be a little frustrating and at the same time if the platform lacks security and quality features you're actually playing with your money and the end result will be dramatic.
I will rather choose a platform well secured cause people who run away from high transaction fees and go for low quality we do hear their stories online and how their coin got stolen, in essence even if I'm running from high transaction fees I still make sure I go for the best with security, the two should work together and no one should be exempted.

Investors must always be updated that's why as an investor we need to develop the habit of research and wanting to know the marketcap always, when dealing with crypto they're some certain inform an investor should never miss.
The coin we choose matters a lot and with the right coin, knowing when to buy and sell will be better. Have seen newly coins but I've not gotten the chance to make any research and I believe this is the right time, it's likely said some altcoins will also experience the bull market so it's time to buy and hold.

Altcoin investment and gambling are two different things but they're just too similar in comparison, note not all altcoins but if you're talking about newly tokens or project, investors who invest in those tokens don't know what the end result will look like likewise gambling cause when we place a bet we don't have the full assurance of winning the game.
A lot of investors view altcoin investment as gambling cause the act most investors carry out with some random coins shows that they invest and when the time comes they sell for profit, just like something you invest in for a little time and expect your money to double during that period of time. This act makes people to call Altcoin investment as gambling act.

I have never experience such but I believe there's a way to stop this act, sometimes the cause of pride can fall a person and this act is just to kill the addict slowly cause why will any gambler play more after loss cause of pride. I'm not surprised cause "pride comes before a fall".
If there's any solution to this problem you should first work on yourself and limit gambling for awhile, don't get involve often but rather gamble when you feel like. Don't get jampacked with all the bet claiming you know it all with full confidence if you do this that's when you'll find it difficult to cope.
