501  Economy / Economics / Re: Corruption in Nigeria as a Problem of Economic Growth and Development on: January 05, 2024, 10:27:48 PM
People saying "Corruption is everywhere" to a post about corruption in Nigeria really trivializes the point the OP is making. Yes, there is corruption in other places too but most of the developed world stands where it is today because the rich and powerful were not so easily able to trample rights and just practice unchecked corruption in those places. Someone gave the example of Switzerland. Are you out of your mind making a comparison between an impoverished, filthy, socially and politically broken and rotten country like Nigeria with Switzerland??
Really?
You don't just call or address another's country in such manner of  language only people from the cave should be doing while a supposed enlightened being I assume you to be rebuke the charade of incivility. Read history , the oil wells and natural resources of the African nation's have been the very source  of the WEST and European nations so-called development you pride yourself with Feel free to do your own unbiased research and not what you have been enlightened with by your censored media concerning African nation's.

Africa and Nigeria especially isn't poor nor filthy it's a rich nation filled with any natural resources in the world you can think of, what Africa and Nigeria in particular lacks is good and selfless leaders in political and economic positions that out of their greed have sold their Father land to the pillaging and siphoning of her wealthy resources by the so-called First world.

Can you please mention five natural resources that Switzerland has and it's lacking in Nigeria apart from good political leadership and I'll mention a full hand of natural resources found in Nigeria alone that the whole of the European countries are lack as a natural resource.

Can you unequivocally say there's no corruption in your country that the system is perfect ?

Let be objective in how we share our thoughts and not being derogative as no nation is an autarchy of itself.

503  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: One more filed smear campaign against Bitcoin on: January 04, 2024, 08:07:13 PM
Haven't we learnt from the past? We are still doing panic selling which was witnessed as there were fuds created by some influencers about possible rejection of spot ETF and once this spread across we saw how people were on selling mode which literally brought down the value of Bitcoin to $40750. But this was a tight slap on face of those who tried bringing down Bitcoin as it survived this attempt as well and rising again.

When I as we I meant those who have panic sold their holding and it's sad people don't understand that just one event like spot ETF approval cannot define Bitcoin's future and people should stop believing in these smear campaigns because no one can predict much about crypto or Bitcoin.
Hey mate, this market is beyond our pay grade I tell you all our money put together ain't even controlling a 1% of the market movement's, the movers and shakers of the market will always manipulate it in the direction it suites them, it is we the smallest fishes in the ocean that's been troubled and affected by the FOMO and FUDS that accompanies all of the events/news as they unfold. To be on on a safer side is by investing and hodling whatever amount you can afford to lose so that when others are selling you can deal with the fear and keep holding.

What makes many sell in such circumstance in this crypto market is that amny persons are holding crypto assets above what they can ordinarily afford to lose so in the case of any threatening news they panic to sell.
504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: January 04, 2024, 07:39:08 PM
Their terms and conditions are lengthy enough to read which make a user annoying and that's why most of people just  quickly agree with them, don't care what is written in those. But i think people should atleast read or should knowledge the some important thing about that casino like about KYC system, VPN is allowed or not and their policy while withdrawal fund. I use to read such thing. And then i check about blog and YouTube videos if they have any serious negative issue or not. I think such information should be checked before joining any Casino. If everything looks good then its good to go.
The lengthiness of the terms and conditions as written are made to discourage users from reading through carefully while about to do the registration. It's a professional technique to make us feel we will be wasting much time tryna read the terms and conditions. Even as that, I'll be very honest that I don't take time to read through word by word but I make sure I scan through for those areas of the ToS that am much interested to know about area's about KYC and others as you have mentioned. It's much better than never reading it at all.

That lenghty long information that will discourage you to take time reading it, I guess it's still best to sort some ideas to make sure that you still in the safe side, like what you mentioned, try to check still things that will allow you to stay safe during your stay inside the house, it will be your protection against anything that may trigger the house rules.

Knowledge is the key and even how long it is, there's always a way to sort important information about how the site works and what are the things that you need to avoid.

Reputation should just be everything we as gamblers should thrust our focus on should be reputation firstly before all else in sorting for more other informations about the casino, could be through reviews from honest users that have had a long experience with the casino. And what I do to help myself with knowing about the terms and conditions is that I take a minute of my free time to read a paragraph or two in those T&C in the areas I haven't touched before, by so doing you can cover a whole lot about the Casino's T&C without feeling the lengthiness.
505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The is always on gambling, never the individual. on: January 04, 2024, 05:32:33 PM
Why do people blame gamble for their own act of irresponsibility. No one is talking about their own part in their story of bad experience's with gambling, all we get to hear is gambling is bad and a useless activity. Why?
This is because many people see it as easy to put the blame on others than putting the blame on themselves. A similar situation is with a student who writes an exam, and when asked about the results replies saying "the lecturer failed me" instead of saying "I failed the exam" recognizing that it was due to their unpreparedness that they failed the exam. It would have been good for you to openly correct this person instead of only keeping it to yourself.
You can only correct people you know by their appearance and expression about an issue that if you share some words of advise and correction it would not end well between you two, the conversation might likely change another tune because they won't accept their fault. Its obvious in the way he was talking that there's no need. I just want to add this, not every person we see that we should be moved to give correction, at times silence will be the best move and however if you are moved to give corrective advise do well to know your limit and choice of words as not everyone is advisable.
506  Economy / Gambling discussion / The is always on gambling, never the individual. on: January 03, 2024, 09:31:56 PM
The other day someone was talking about how he hates gambling as it nearly ruined his life, and within my mind I was like, no it was not gambling that nearly ruined you it was actually you that tried to ruin your life and that's because you refused to gamble responsibly and discipline yourself by not been capable of differentiating money meant for gambling from money meant for other projects in your life.

Why do people blame gamble for their own act of irresponsibility. No one is talking about their own part in their story of bad experience's with gambling, all we get to hear is gambling is bad and a useless activity. Why?

There are many reasons why forum members spam apart from fishing for merits and  meeting signature campaign weekly quota. Some persons it could be they are spamming to achieve the total number of posts/activity that should put them to the next rank as they have already gotten the number of merits needed but activity is holding them down because their post count is below for the next rank. To some, which is a very weird reason actually, this persons assume that by posting in almost all boards of the forum a day will give them some recognition and this sort of excitement is mainly found with newbies.
508  Other / Meta / Re: What new changes would you like to see on Bitcointalk in 2024 ? on: January 03, 2024, 08:37:08 PM
Anyone who has been on the forum for a long time has become accustomed to it, I think, as their home place. Innovations, on the contrary, will be an unusual change if they differ sharply from the previous ones. Now that I am visiting other forums, I want to see how simple it is here. Advertising banners, colorful advertisements, likes, and “thank yous” only distract from the necessary information. Therefore, let all this not happen on this forum. He's good for what he is. And that's the beauty of it. Newbies who come here from colorful websites and social networks should rejoice, as the rigor of the design will preserve their vision.
When I joined this forum newly I was actually full of complaints. This is because I came from the social media background and when I entered here I expected some beautiful coloration and better graphics. It was actually the period that I was in the lower ranks that people were complaining seriously about a new software. But as time passes I became accustomed to the nature of this forum and now I appreciate the importance of having a natural forum like this.

I have visited some other forums and including Altcoinstalks recently, there's none to be compared here. This sky blue background preserves my site and gives it the convenience it deserves.
what colorful interface and social media kinds of features will someone of a matured conceptualize mindset be asking for after going around the board's in the forum and seeing how coordinated things work here. Anyone asking for likes/love and other colorful features to be add in the forum should go look for that in other social media platforms, in here we mean real bitcoin business investment interactions and any other real world educative discussions and nothing less. I think newbies should learn to appreciate what they come here to see and find ways to adapt to the forum and not giving irrelevant suggestions of what they saw in other social media platforms. This is what I like to see newbie doing this year.

Sorry to bother the community, but it is a hard time for me now. I am really appreciated to your suggestions, help, instructions of How to earn from Bitcoin, including a job related to Bitcoin, mine, trading, or anything else.
It's a hard time for everybody not just you mate so please apply some brakes and chill. You sound like someone that's desperate and you can be taken advantage of by some black sheep. First before you talk about mining do you have the technical-know-how. And if you want to earn bitcoin you've to get a skill offer some services in the forum or outside the forum. So ask yourself do you possess what it take to be able to earn some bitcoin.
511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: January 01, 2024, 05:23:45 PM
BIG NO.
A real gambling expert that can be said is like a professional sportsbettor and poker player. If someone is just predicting the possible result, it is not considered as an expert. And definitely he would just like to say that you should gamble and bet huge amounts for both of you to have large possible wins. He is predicting and just taking chances just as you so, there really is no difference at all when you do it on your own and you do not have to share your profits with anybody. That is the difference if you are not gullible unlike the others that are. So always listen to your instincts and do not let someone who is a stranger tell you what to do and how much you are going to gamble because win or lose, he wont lose anything and it is not their money that are put into stake. So please be mindful with that for those gullible folks here.
Things to consider; if the game in question was surely going to play the supposed expert would have stake more money than he has to afford into the game to take back a huge win but rather he gave it to you to use your own money and later share a percentage with him should the game play. At that moment I should be asking myself salient question like doesn't this expert also need this money in full too, why didn't he bet with his own money but me. Another thing, real experts don't share out games and later to be repay with a particular percentage after win, you pay before they will be ready to give out.  They don't going about trolling the internet in search of people to play their games.

Imagine if some day you are out and about, suddenly someone wearing a chicken suit puts a gun to your head forcing you to buy their fast food or they'll shoot you Cheesy

Ref: https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2023/12/359864/mcdonalds-malaysia-sues-pro-palestine-activists-over-boycott
For the sake of my head I'll just buy, and problem solved... Maybe later we can find out why it has gone to that extend of forcing people to purchase their products which I don't think that will be possible if I argue at the time when the gun was pointed to head. Dead men don't tell tales.

It's the first time am hearing about a company suing customers for not purchasing from them so it has to be funny try to grasp what really gave them the courage to take such action. Strange things are happening and this is one of many I have heard.

514  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Must you lose before you gain in Bitcoin investment? on: December 30, 2023, 09:21:39 PM
Questions like this has popped out in several occasions and arguments concerning Bitcoin investment. My friends will say you must lose before you gain or rather have more experience investing in Bitcoin. If its how it work, Bitcoin isn't for a low income earner as well as not gonna make you rich when you can't invest something tangible to it. On the other hand people are been made big and wealthy in same program. What does it in tell, cos am quite sure people had already known what's going to happen in the market in the nearest future to give them the strong mindset to invest porously. My biggest fear is losing my hard earn to something as volatile, vulnerable and uncertain as btc. What's the possibility you invest without losing. Is it guaranteed in this kinda market?
Going by your post title: No you mustn't lose but it's an inevitable aspect of crypto you should hold in mind when investing so you don't get fumed by FUD,s in the future not to make hasty wrong  decisions about your investment. There are investors that started with a profiting foot that's just their luck but one thing I understand about bitcoin is that you just don't lose, you don't at all I'm as much as it's a long term investment plan you have set in place for yours.
Bitcoin may be volatile but it's ain't vulnerable and as for guarantee your chances of making profit is 3x bigger than that of making a loss if it's for omg term.
Every financial investment involves risk. No one can ever say that he will get sure profit from his investment. But who will invest by taking this risk will face profit or loss by the investment. As Bitcoin is the most volatile currency and has high value, an investor has to take the highest risk and gain adequate knowledge otherwise the chances of losing are high. But it cannot be said that everyone who invests will lose. Even if a person has relatively less knowledge, if he invests in Bitcoin right now for long term, he may not face loss. Everyone who want to invest in trading business must be prepared to lose. Moreover, I will never say loss in the case of those who will lose at the beginner level, it can also be called a type of investment.
Yes there's no sure investment for profit making only as risk is usually involved in any investment but there are a number of things you can invest in which the probability of getting profit in the end is very large with a slim chances of making a loss and bitcoin is one of such things to invest in. There are several other cryptocurrencies that are of higher volatility than bitcoin for bitcoin isn't the most volatile cryptocurrency. What I can tell a newbie wanting to invest in bitcoin is that they should invest only amount of money they can afford to lose and have patience on without been tempted to withdraw out of FUDs.

Crypto investment vs real estate investment : Which one more dependable in the future
Though have been in the crypto space for quite some time now, I knew little about crypto. A friend of mine just introduced me to real estate investment.
Which one should I go for with a capital less than $2500?
This two field of investment real estate and cryptocurrency are  remunerative to delve in for investment but the former requires large amount of money to go into, the $2500 you have is nothing to start a real estate investment, it is for this reason I'll admonish you put the idea of the real estate in the future and invest that $2500 in bitcoin for long term investment if you can hodl for a two circle's you would be profitable by then to start somewhere meaningful in the real estate by then.

What new ignorant investors don't know is that you don't invest in bitcoin through a third party, in real sense bitcoin was created to eliminate anything third party involvement in our transactions. Cutting off the middle man who's the evil behind traditional banking system.  It's hard to bear losing our money but at least you have learnt through experience however, make sure to be doing your own research in this industry it will save you from further loss out if ignorance. Like they said if you think knowledge is too costly to attain then try ignorance.

There's no substantial reason why knowledge should be hidden or hoard when it can enlighten and awken the mindset of others and this is what this forum is all about passing knowledge from one person to another. If you're found in this forum for a period of one or two months more and you don't observe an improved changes to your knowledge about crypto and generally as it concerns financial decisions making then you have to examine yourself and make some adjustments.  
519  Economy / Economics / Re: When the world is evolving, follow the trend. on: December 29, 2023, 08:51:26 PM
OP
I can't understand the need for dynamism, and the promptness to adapt and accept new change, but We need to be careful so that we do not make changes or quickly jump into new trends that would leave us in regrets this is because not everything change or a new trend is good or will be of benefit to us. So whenever there's a new trend you always have to find out why the new trend has occurred and the benefits it will have to you and to others good or bad before making your decision to jump on the trend or not. Remember that the majority is not always right and before you join the majority you always have to have a good reason for joining them not just joining blindly like some others will.
Questioning the essence of dynamism is similar to question why development should take it course in human history. Going through human history we can see different historical epochs that changed and gave way to new erra, from hunting and gathering to agrarian society and on and on the  dynamism keeps taking place as society evolves, am sure there were people that opposed and question the need for the changes at each of the new rising epoch but eventually when the time was ripe the change took place and all adapted. What am saying is that question the need for a change in the dynamism of things in society won't stop the change from taking it course because development is inevitable.

palace ate playing like a troubled team they are not settled with the ball and it's making Chelsea play as if they are too good with the ball as Chelsea are always rushing them to gain much possession of the ball, though Chelsea later seem to be relaxed after scoring their goal.  Crystal palace all they have to do is to change the pattern of their game add a little confidence in holding the ball and making calm passes. With a 1:1 scoreline in the first half the chances are that crystal palace can make it through in getting more goals in the second half.

I watched the first half until the end and honestly Chelsea's game was very good and they deserved to close the first half with a win. But unfortunately, Chelsea conceded at the end of the first half by Michael Olise who was standing free without a guard in Chelsea's defense. Chelsea dominated the match, but it was a shame because they really wasted several good opportunities to increase their lead due to poor finishing. The temporary score is 1-1, but it looks like Chelsea can still win this match in the end.
When you are playing against team that's worst in form than you whatever less performance you are putting in the game will appear to be a good performance and this is exactly the what the Chelsea game against crystal palace was. There was no difference between what Chelsea played in other games they lost to the game against Crystal Palace. Poor tackling's, lack of passing accuracy,  and failing to make use of goal chances to achieve points in a match. At the end though they won the game 2:1 but it was out of a lucky outcome. All what am saying is that Chelsea as a team an improvement in the team should be consistent where they have to play in a current match much better than they did in previous giving us the fans an exciting result.
