501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit. on: February 01, 2024, 06:54:44 AM
We know, we also say that gambling is only for fun it's right. But in the end most of the gamblers I assume they do gamble for financial benefits. Once someone gambles for financial benefits and depends on gambling win/lose to livelihood means he is gambling-addicted.
I can't truly just accept the fact that gambling is actually for fun, we lose our money when gambling so meaning we just enjoy wasting our money even if we have nothing to do with it. On the other hand, anyone who actually does it as a means of earning financially to be able to meet up with cost of living is actually becoming an addict.
Gambling is more like investing in some Altcoins, if it happens to give profits fine and if it doesn't also good but we don't also say we rely on our Altcoins investment to carryout expenses on our cost of living.
I don't agree if gambling is equated with altcoin investment. because altcoins still have clear programs and good management. different from gambling which only relies on the luck factor.
Or is it possible that the altcoin investment you mean here is investing in memecoin?
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.
502  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When I'm emotional, I LOSS! on: February 01, 2024, 06:43:15 AM
Hey, guys! Are any of you emotional gamblers who often lose because you can't control what you feel? When you lose, do you tend to double your bets or chase your losses, driven by a pride that can't accept defeat? Do you consider this a problem? If so, has anyone here been able to solve this kind of problem themselves, and if yes, how did you do it?
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.
503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 01, 2024, 06:25:54 AM
Liverpool will not want to give up the lead. They will most likely win tonight's game.
Liverpool missed the championship by 1 point two years ago, but I think they will be champions this year.

Liverpool showed a very good performance. against a strong and rich team chelsea. win with score 4-1. special performance from young liverpool wing back right bradley create 2 assists and 1 goal. which makes himself man of the macth in this match.
Liverpool are the strongest team in the Premier League this season and they are at the top of the points table. The great performance against Chelsea in the last match was really impressive and Liverpool came away with a strong attack to win. With a 4-1 win to go top with 51 points, Liverpool's young players put in an outstanding performance. Conor bradley is a young player the great performance he put in was really nice, which made him man of the match.
The players of Chelsea can not be use to compare to Liverpool players, the only team that can struggle with Liverpool is arsenal or Aston villa and assuming it's one of this two team I mentioned Liverpool would not flogg them like that, secondly Chelsea defensive is open which any strong player can penetrate to their eighteen, the performance of Chelsea team is extremely poor and the management doesn't buy a good players to represent Chelsea very well almost the present Chelsea player are faulty right now because they had the chance to equalise the match when the goal  given by Liverpool was two and they could not utililize it,
I knew Chelsea can't beat Liverpool from the first half, I don't know what's with the players or rather if the team lacks structure. Liverpool this season is just too hot for Chelsea with or without a good player, even if Chelsea had good players the match would have been in favour of Liverpool but with less goals, I believe Chelsea never prepared before playing cause the defense is just too weak and Liverpool scored those goals freely, the final goal of Luis Diaz is just too good. I still believe Pochettino can restructure this team.
Arsenal vs Liverpool will still be another interesting one to watch but for now I know the match will not be so easy for both teams as Arsenal has started warming up.

You're right, investing is good especially bitcoin investment but now few people will not know what's the benefit or rather they'll lavish the money, spending of money no be anybody business for this forum but some certain things wey people dey do need caution and it should not be taken for granted.
After earning from crypto, investment dey wey go still bring profit like real estate or something else.
Financial management dey very important for our society and sometimes we hear stories like money no dey and the economy hard but make we check well where our money dey go and take correction, you do well as you carry this one come here cause no one is above mistake.
505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think women will make better gamblers by their nature? on: January 31, 2024, 08:49:42 PM
Personally I don't support women venturing into grabbing actively, gambling has a way of disarming you of  all your principles slowly until  you're stuck. A lot of with gamble too, just that there are more make gamblers. I've seen female gambling addicts and trust me, its messier than male.

Home management skills are different from gambling skills, if intertwined, one will surely suffer and its most likely the home will suffer and the children less attended. Its a disaster when we have a female gambling addict who's married with children, it  affects the marriage too, so women active involvement in gambling should be discouraged.
Seeing a female gambler that takes gambling so serious as an addiction now is very rare and I have not seen any, how will they look like cause I know no female can pass through those stress of gambling and loss. When talking about gamble addict, people like this can control their emotions at any time so they're always prepared and ready, even if they didn't win there's another alternative to handle the issue but for ladies, that's very difficult to handle especially the ones that cannot control their emotions
The idea you shared calling it a disaster,  I disagree with this, although I'm not in support of female gamblers gambling carelessly but this is actually not right, there's always time for everything and no lady can leave her child just to gamble, when gambling we don't spend much time especially when the lady is married
506  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: A year profit investment to choose on: January 31, 2024, 07:49:05 PM
Among all wetin you mention na bitcoin I dey familiar with and talk more of the knowledge, I no fit carry my money put for wetin I no know, bitcoin wey everybody don know say na sure investment and people dey really talk about the bull market wey sure so why will I choose something else.

The money although big and with this money you fit accumulate bitcoin and during the bull market profit go surplus, now is just the right time to buy with such amount and hold, just like knowing when to buy no be only to get the money na be the problem.
507  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is nothing like it since the past 12 years on: January 31, 2024, 10:59:12 AM
Your story is tough for me and all thanks to your parents for making you accomplish such cause I strongly believe without your parents you could not have accumulated such amount you have right now, if probably you could just quit cause without any source of income how can you scale through.
You're actually a strong investor cause not everyone can get so far in the journey and some have already seen bitcoin investment as a risky investment but people who took the risk back then can boldly testify about their investment. That's why bitcoin investment is just a top investment for everyone. With a source of income and a right decision no one will regret investing.
508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You must have a source on: January 31, 2024, 10:44:05 AM
You must have a source of income if you must succeed in your holdings.

For the few years I have been into cryptocurrency, I have discovered that you can't hold till the right time if your don't have a source of income. Just imagine that you have a pressing basic needs like feeding or rent, then you don't have money  to finance it, you will be forced to sell your Bitcoin at a loss if you don't have a source of income outside your holdings.

Most people that have sold their Bitcoin holdings at a loss or at an average price actually have the patience but don't have the knowledge of how to hold, because a good holder must be aware that he needs a source of income for him to be able to consolidate to his holdings.

It has happened to me severally, I have been able to hold now, since I started working as a merchandiser with Guinness, I think most times, experience is the best teacher.
To be honest no one can invest in bitcoin without any source of income, have heard people stories on how they succeeded holding bitcoin till date, have you ever thought how did this happen, I have never gotten an opportunity to ask but aside from a source of income there's something attach to being a successful investor.
We can all agree a source of income can be the money we earn monthly for rendering a service, when referring to bitcoin it doesn't necessary mean you'll start with a huge amount and continue to accumulate with such huge amount it's not a must. A lot of salary earners can't afford enough for the family even with their salary due to the economy and the needs you mentioned rent, school fees etc. Does this necessary mean they should avoid investing, in my opinion no one should afford investing with such issue the best here is to double your hustle and always set aside some money for bitcoin investment.
509  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Always Make use of notepad app before posting on: January 31, 2024, 10:20:59 AM
What's the point of using that when you have the preview tab which is to enable you see what you want to post and how it will appear on the forum, this way you can check for errors in spelling, grammar,  quotes, image and so on. Notepad does not show these so I don't see any need going through that lengthy process for something the forum have a better option.

Although, Op didn't give a better explanation but I think why he brought this up is not all about previewing your post and making corrections, it more than that. The notepad comes very handy because there are times you may be typing a lengthy post using the forum's editor, there may be some network challenge at your end. The page would reload and you could lose everything you've typed.
You're right and I have experienced this several times concerning my network issue, I never thought about notepad when I experienced this and it could be of good help but I tried changing my browser and it worked, using a good browser can help solve this problem of network leading to reloading of a new page, instead of a new page the browser will take me back to my writing.
510  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin an opportunity like land on: January 31, 2024, 09:55:41 AM
Both almost have similarities that can bring profits in the future, the difference is that Bitcoin can be purchased periodically or can be paid in installments in any amount, whereas to buy a plot of land, everyone cannot sell it for a small area or size.  Apart from that, everyone can have Bitcoin and to own a large plot of land you have to have a lot of money first and of course not everyone can do that.

With land it's not that simple, it can't go up in price as fast as Bitcoin, it can't generate passive income, so it's hard for me to compare it to Bitcoin. It seems to me that it would be better to try to compare Bitcoin with real estate in a good area, which will always rise in price, it will always be in demand, and it can also be rented out and receive additional profit. And it will not lose 90% of its value in a bear market, which is a very important factor for conservative investors when we are talking about very big money, the main issue is the safety of capital.
You're quite right, the part you said real estate can bring an additional money and no doubt, have you ever thought why the price of land keep increasing, the high demand of lands nowadays makes the value of land to increase, of course everyone wants to own a land and build a house or an estate so the high demand of land makes the price to increase, in my country Nigeria the price of land or house keeps increasing yearly due to the importance. This is also in the marketing sector cause the higher the demand the higher the value increase in price. The op just made an example and I can relate with the example, people who actually bought land when the price was low till date will benefit 10× profit in return likewise bitcoin due to the volatility nature, bitcoin is a top investment cause people who actually bought bitcoin back then and hold till date will never regret, now is never too late also as many who keep accumulating for future purpose will also benefit
511  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is merit necessary for my survival here on: January 31, 2024, 09:22:33 AM
Greetings everyone!

I really want to know if merit is necessary in other to secure my account, my friend who introduced this site to me said, I must have merit

Please how do I get this merit and how is it important.

Secure your account how?, there's no such thing concerning merit and the safety of your account, your stay on this forum depends on you with or without merit, your friend is right and at the same time you should not take the advice so serious just like how you created this thread asking how you can get a merit. I believe you've observed the forum and you've seen post receiving merits from higher rank members, this is just simple, you post quality posts you earn merit or rather make quality comments you can still earn merit but it depends on your knowledge, how far have you gone in knowing about bitcoin if the answer is no then you should start learning about bitcoin from different post, by so doing you will get to understand and make good comments. To be sincere you need merit in terms of ranking up.
512  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH vs BTC future growth potential on: January 30, 2024, 05:05:34 PM
so I believe no one will hold btc for short term and expect profit, that's impossible.
Not impossible, there are those that they can.
I'm confused to believe people like this use bitcoin to gamble, some people get lucky with market predictions and it seems too exciting for them, I believe bitcoin investment is met for long term and people who invest for short term will never get the kind of profits long term investment offers, although people still do this till date and when it's time for the hype they will accumulate as many they can and wait to sell in the bull market is that what you're trying to say, many people who get involve in this sometimes don't get the amount of profit they want.
Investors who hold for 2_3 years or more will make higher profit compared to short term.
513  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you love and enjoy taking risk? on: January 30, 2024, 04:51:20 PM
Some months a go, I was thinking altcoins may favour me since bitcoin is still unpredictable. I decided to invest my last cash at hand on luno, Eth, buying babe doggy, peg token and tron. I don't really understand how this things works when I bought it was all gloomy without bitcoin but in less than a week my money dried up.

What future do we really hope for altcoins without bitcoin?

I never thought about altcoins without Bitcoin. We have to know that Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrencies and most of its benchmark coins are Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is destroyed, the other coins will definitely be destroyed because all altcoins are my benchmark Bitcoin, that's my personal view. I'm just sharing what I think about. altcoins without bitcoin
I don't see the future of altcoins without bitcoin and it sounds strange seeing people who have this mindset of investing in crypto without including bitcoin, like for example I have been considering ethereum for the past two weeks even if I want to start accumulating ethereum cause this is the right time to buy but at the same time I can't dump my bitcoin investment cause it sounds stupid. Even if I want to start my altcoins journey I will never go for new projects like the way people carelessly invest without knowing the project. Like I said before bitcoin surpassed all those altcoins and if anyone wants to invest the person should never neglect bitcoin investment.
514  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is your favorites altcoins these days? on: January 30, 2024, 04:00:05 PM
Mine was BNB, ETH, RNDR, ARB. What about you guys? What do you keep following or watching these days? and why?
I will definitely go for ethereum cause have been observing the market cap and ethereum has been one of trusted altcoins so far. It's likely that ethereum will reach an ATH but since the market is unpredictable and the price of ethereum keeps fluctuating so I can't give reasons
The reason why I choosed ethereum, it's a good investment choice like bitcoin, although ethereum investment sounds risky due to the volatility nature but it's a kind of invest for long term so investors who are used to long term can still choose ethereum.
515  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are altcoins important? on: January 30, 2024, 01:50:26 PM
I think you should be more specific with the kind of Altcoins you're referring to, not all altcoins are best when it comes to buy and hold, I can only trust some few altcoins in terms of buy and hold but if you're referring to newly projects then it's very hard to give garanteee if that coin will bring profit in long term. The strategy you mentioned is also good but still depends on the coin, an investor will sell whenever the price has reached an ATH, this is the best decision especially when dealing with altcoins to prevent risk, there's no guarantee that the coin will reach another ATH so why not sell to gain from the market. Altcoins investment needs a smart investor to play along with the market.

This method is quite interesting but not everyone can try this method, it seems the method worked for you and I have experienced such before but not often. It's easy to say but difficult to take action, the reason why people can't stick to this idea is because they lack self control and it has been an issue from start, any gambler that fails to exhibit self control will hardly make profit from a game, winning a game must not be too obvious or necessary, I will advice, anyday you lose even with your strategy you should not get emotional cause gambling can be so funny and unpredictable.
518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 29, 2024, 08:58:33 PM
~~~
There are always chances, but in this match Chelsea's chances are very small, Liverpool is much stronger, and in the light of the latest news, I think that the Liverpool players will try to do everything so that Klopp and Liverpool become champions this season, this would be his ideal accomplishment careers in Liverpool. Although, of course, now every Liverpool match should not be regarded as a victory, because this is what the players need, it’s just that in this case Chelsea is much weaker than its opponent.
One fact about Klopp and Liverpool that I have not ignored so far is that Klopp has never won the same 2 titles in any competition since becoming Liverpool coach. This is a bit strange and unique, but Klopp has the possibility of doubling his title achievements this season with Liverpool, including the Premier League title and others
This sounds strange and I will try to observe carefully, who knows maybe history might repeat itself no doubt but I don't see that happen now, the match between Liverpool and Chelsea sounds so serious for both team and we saw what both teams did these past days. I will definitely predict this match cause Liverpool have every chance of winning and I don't think they'll joke with such an opportunity, Chelsea at the other hand has been playing quite good but they don't have what it takes to beat Liverpool this season. Concerning the premier league I still doubt if the competition will be so weak for Liverpool to win easily.

Making Informed financial decisions In  the  dynamic  world of finance where risk management and cost reduction  is  the  talk of the day.It is very  important  for one to make informed financial decisions from a fundamental and technical point of view.
Often times, making investment decisions is a hard nut to crack for retail investors like you and I.
 While some jump into making investment decisions and some from an analytical point of view and some no particular strategic approach.
It is important to know that as retail investors that we are ,we should make financial decisions based on a strategic, fundamental and technical   point of view, to ensure optimum return on investment.
Investment in general needs strategy, and before going into any investment you need to consider the cost, the time duration cause have seen a lot of people that lacks patience so this has affected a lot of people when it comes to investing. Understanding the investment first is important for example you can't just start investing in bitcoin without understanding bitcoin.
Just like what you said making investment choice is very difficult that's why it's best to make research and test if you can fit in to that investment. This should not be only for investment but it should be applied to our daily life in terms of decision making and business ideas.
520  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Gaurd yourself against crypto scam this year on: January 29, 2024, 08:24:39 PM
You don try as you carry this advice come here, although we dey discuss about scam and hack for this forum and anybody wey dey deal with crypto suppose know say security and privacy na the first thing to learn, I don't know for others but it's been long I heard about scam, things fit dey happen but I never hear, the thing now is some people don know their trick so it's very difficult to fall mugu for all this juicy offers.
The part you mentioned beware of free, free things na dey really kill people, sometimes the way these platform go just appear with one kind free offer ehhn, I read a topic in trading discussion and the op dey discuss about one hidden portal and their free offer and I laughed cause new platform no suppose offer free bonus. In my opinion when dealing with crypto learning about security should always be the first.
