521  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is playing poker online better than offline? on: March 31, 2024, 04:15:40 AM
Whether online or offline is is based on choice as some people may prefer playing online while others will choose playing online but to me I would prefer online poker because it is very transparent without any manipulation but for offline poker I feel there is always partiality and manipulation which doesn't make the game funful, so the reason for playing a game is just for fun and not for timid feelings
522  Other / Off-topic / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: March 31, 2024, 04:09:02 AM
I think majority of people who are addicted to gambling is because they do not understand gambling as beginners, the rules and the side effects of playing gambling excessively.

You have a point because so many people entered into playing gambling maybe someone won a bet and the news went viral so some people develops interest to also start playing gamble if they can be lucky too without having a knowledge of what gambling is all about, the risk involved and the dangers of getting addicted. One thing that makes beginners addicted is if they luckily won a bet either on their first play or within a short time when they started gambling, they will always think it is that easy to win therefore they will always be eager to play every time if they could get luck again from there they begin to play frequently and never seems to have a control anymore that is what leads most beginners to gambling addiction but it is advisable for a gambler to know the dangers of gambling addiction before they start playing gambling.

Have you people notice that Chelsea formation in this match between Chelsea and Burnley, so I believe that what is problem of Chelsea is the coach, by right Chelsea suppose to defeat Burnley in this match because Vincent Kompany received red card for the half and the still they could not defeat Burnley, the first goal with penalty and by right they suppose to protect the first goal by playing a defensive game, even when Burnley equalise the match to be 1:1 and they score again to be 2:1, everyone taught that Chelsea have defeated Burnley but they could not defend the second goal. So the problem is the players, I think they need keeper and more players.
Vincent Kompany was sent off and he's absence didn't matter, instead his team was possibly confident to play the Blues. I'm tiring of tendering my complaints to the team's board and on their verified social media platforms. Chelsea performance is humiliating and I don't fancy the style Mauricio Pochettino is bringing. One of the terrible performance was today's game at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea failed to beat 10 men on the pitch, instead the Blues was even lucky to not concede another goal because I've watch closely and see the thorough details.

Your comment made me laugh hard this night for saying you are tired of laying complains to their verified social media accounts but on a more serious note, this game against Burnley is one of the worst game of Chelsea because imagine 10 men Burnley giving Chelsea a hard time it's really so funny I must say. I don't think Pochettino can handle Chelsea anymore they really need a new coach to take over the managerial role if things can work in a different perspective for the club because watching them play today is really devastating.

There is no doubt that Nigerians that are into crypto more especially Bitcoin is on the increase day by day because one thing about this country is that information circulates faster so now that every one is looking for an escape root due to the economic hardship and the cost of living in the country is really hash as every one is feeling the heat one way or the other, people are really suffering so if you see any way you can introduce someone into the crypto space but no be every body you go carry teach anything about crypto and Bitcoin because some people are just too dull in this life.

Even for forum here one of the seniors for the forum also recognized our local board as one of the fastest growing board in the forum which is a very notable achievement for we Nigerians.
525  Economy / Economics / Re: The Prices of Labour. on: March 30, 2024, 11:00:29 AM
The price for labour will always be salary and wages. If you decide you want to earn only by offering your labour services,  then you should live within your salary range until you are willing to come out of your comfort zone and begin to invest or diversify so as to get good returns instead of just salaries and wages. There are still some salary earners who are rich and really living comfortable lives, but we still have many salary and wage earners who are actually living from hand to mouth with nothing to write home about. These set of labourers who are not getting good benefits for their labour should  stop deceiving themselves and begin to look both inwards and outwards for means to increase their earnings.

The problem with most labour workers is that they are too dependent on their salaries and wages and doesn't even like doing other jobs or making investments for the future as their reasoning is just that after service they will be granted pensions and gratuity then they can invest the money on a project. This is a very wrong idea of most labour workers because the future is uncertain and unexpected things might occur before their retirement so it is their duty to make good use of their income no matter how little it may be and learn some investment strategy that will aid them when they retire and maybe didn't receive their entitlement on time. Before getting to retirement age some of them might die along the line and since they have not completed their services,  their entitlement may not be given to their offspring so at that time when your salary is coming on regular basis is the right time to take positive decisions that will pave way for a brighter future.
526  Other / Off-topic / Re: Can family members help a gambling addict? on: March 30, 2024, 10:47:24 AM
Sure, as a friend to someone who is so addicted to gambling and you have tried your best to convince him on the need to limit his gambling addiction but you see that your efforts are not yielding fruit, what you need do is to let his family know about his habits at least when he is aware that his family is aware of his gambling habits he would be so ashamed of himself and even if he will continue gambling he will not be comfortable anymore because he may be afraid his family might meet him in gambling shop one day. I know of a gambler that whenever he enters a gambling hall he will be so restless and will not even spend much time there because he is afraid of his wife meeting him there playing gambling. So informing the family may not really stop the gambler from gambling but there is going to be a reduction in his gambling activities and there at times too when advice from his family can change his mindset.
527  Economy / Economics / Re: Debt Management. on: March 30, 2024, 04:52:11 AM
This could all be avoided if we just never had debt in the first place

let's face it many people get debts for things they don't really need they just want to buy it but they cant afford it if they were to pay it as of the moment which is something we should really avoid doing

we should already save money, cut on expenses and make budgets before we even get into debts
You are right about not involving in debt at all but what is there is that we do borrow some times not because we don't have money to sort our bills, but for investment purposes. One can get a contract and the nature of the contract may require you to use your personal funds and execute the project before the company or organization will pay you so in that situation, if you don't have money you can borrow in other to clear the project knowing fully well that after the project your money with be paid immediately.

What makes some people not to pay their debts is always waiting for the due date before they can pay off their debts, imagine if you borrow money for an interval of a month hoping that within this one month that you will sort out the money to repay and luckily for you just within some few days after taking the loan you were able to make some money and instead of repaying your debt immediately, you begin to reason that the debt will be due in a month time and of which you are hoping that before then you will make another money to settle the debt, peradventure, you may not be able to have a source to pay back your loan again.  Another thing is not making part payments of your loan at different intervals before the expiry of the loan, making part payments of your loan also gives you the ease to pay off your loan without too much pressure especially when it involves a huge amount

.Turns out that people will pay for things they can do by themselves if they had the right knowledge. 

At a point in our life, we pay for things we later discover that it is so easy and simple but because we don't have any knowledge about it makes us to make some sacrifices in other to know it. This is to let us understand that knowledge is money and it is good to acquire knowledge because no knowledge is wasted. I also remember a time when I was new into binance so each time a want to sell my coin I do pay someone to sell my coin on p2p trading, a day came and I said I must learn how to perform this p2p trading then I started making researches both on Google and YouTube, the funny part was that the first day i tried making the trade myself I was watching the step by step on YouTube and after every step i will also go and check the next step till i was able to perform the operation. I was so happy that day and after subsequent trials I was able to do it perfectly and now it's very simple for me as compared to when I had no knowledge of it. I now teach newbies even for free and a lot of them even finds it difficult to comprehend the process so that is how it is. My theory is always that whatever thing someone helps me to do, no matter how long it takes I must learn to do it.
529  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? on: March 29, 2024, 09:58:57 PM
Excessive gambling is detrimental to the life of a gambler no doubt, stories, facts and truths have proven this that they suffer a lot of pressure, tension, loses and frustration. I am also concerned about the impact of gambling on the lives of those dependent on the gambler like his immediate family(wife, children, parents and siblings). I have heard stories of children whose early lives were messed up due to the bad habits of gambling addiction of their fathers. A very recent one is one account in this forum which created a topic staring his hatred for gambling and backing his claim with same ugly story of being a product of a home where the father is a gambling addict. He stressed that it ruined his father and affected him disastrously. I know how painful and frustrating it is when your foundation its poor, and the negative effect is massive.

So I want to ask, between the gambling addict and his immediate family, who does the addiction affect the most?

Straight to your question, the immediate family of the gambler are the ones that suffers most when a gambler becomes an addict because if it is someone that they are looking up to take responsibilities in the family, he will fail them multiple times because any money he has will all be spent on gambling without thinking about the family they left behind.
530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been kicked out of a casino? on: March 29, 2024, 09:43:20 PM
Hi community,

We always hear about a gambler who has been harassed, expelled, or banned from a casino for a number of justified or unjustified reasons. There are those who have been banned for violating the laws or internal regulations of the casino, or for suspicious actions that negatively affect the course of play, or chaos inside the casino, or for other unknown reasons.

Have you been in this situation before?
It's a pleasure to hear your story.

Casino halls are always noisy because gamblers like making noises and there is no way you will be passing near a casino office without hearing loud noises in there and what causes this noise most times is as a result of someone's bet losing when they thought it would be a winning ticket. For example, there is a casino that presents colours about six and the colors are either blue, red and yellow and between the six boxes requires at least 3 boxes to occupy a particular colour so if a gambler stakes like 3 blues to appear and maybe like two blues had already appeared and he is looking forward for the third to also be blue but instead yellow or red appears you will hear a loud noise from the gambler especially when he stakes with huge amount.

532  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: If Centralized Exchanges No Dey, How We want Take Survive for Dis Scammers World on: March 28, 2024, 11:36:01 PM
Honestly, centralized exchanges really helped us a lot because had it not been that it was programmed in a way that the buyer would send first before the crypto is released, I am afraid of the kind of scam and fraud that the system would have gotten but even though scammers are still using different tricks to manipulate people in the p2p platforms because imagine where a p2p merchant will position a high exchange rate only for it to decrease when you are about to initiate the transaction and if you don't watch very well you will not know and there are also some merchants that always wants to cause some drama before they can complete a trade with you but we should just be careful not to meet the bad eggs amongst them.

Though the area that frightened me most is when you want to buy crypto and you know you will be the one to send fiat first before crypto is released to you, so you can send fiat to a seller and they refuse to release the crypto to you unless if the exchange have gone through checks before they can release the crypto and the process is very heltic. So in all we just need extra carefulness.

One thing about Bitcoin investment is to purchase and another is to have the mind to hold, even when it doesn't seems nourishing we still continue holding.

This is just the real truth because it is through consistent accumulation that you can gather enough money that will make you get rich in the future even some rich people today if they tell you how they were so patient and saved so much money for some years before they were able to own an investment that made them become so rich today. Patience is the key of any investment because there are times when things will become so difficult to the extent that you might be thinking of selling the Bitcoin you have hold but with determination to succeed you still kept accumulating till you were able to meet your goal. Success doesn't just appear in a day as it takes time to achieve great things so anyone that wants to invest in Bitcoin should bear it in mind that they need patience to be able to achieve a breakthrough.
534  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Be careful of cheap scam on: March 28, 2024, 10:13:01 PM
Scammers have really gone diabolical of which they have been taking advantage of that to confuse their victims even i personally I have been a victim of this diabolical use of powers for manipulation but I just thank God that the money I lost before I realized myself wasn't that much. Now that binance that have been our most trusted exchange have been banned by Nigerian government, a lot of people will get scammed more especially why performing p2p transactions but we should be cautious of the person we are trading with and moreover, there are individuals that are offering p2p transactions in Naira in the forum, I think cryptoprenuerBrainboss has an exchange service https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5200468.0 that is reliable so people can reach out to him as he is a trusted personnel in the forum.

2. Wouldn't it be possible to make payments at a fixed amount in dollars so that In a case of more increase in the price of Bitcoin, the pay rate will not be affected.
Just a suggestion.

This is one of the few campaign still using a payrate in Bitcoin and instead of asking us to change you should be encouraging others to switch to BTC payrate. The adjustment isn't a problem if you hodl your BTC it'll be worth it at the end of the day. Remember this isn't a job and if you're not comfortable with the way a campaign is operating you can switch to others that you like the way they're operating, we must not belike others,
Well said manager, I know that payments using Bitcoin is a way of also promoting the use of Bitcoin in the forum and I don't dispute that fact, I was only emphasizing on unforseen challenges of this nature that may arise in the future but thanks for the clarity anyway

This payrate takes effect from the just concluded week as earlier announced, expect payment tomorrow as spreadsheet has to be updated with new payrate.

The new pay rate is okay in other to have a long lasting campaign, the management have made their decision but I just want to make two suggestions.
1. The pay rate of participants in tier E shouldn't have been reduced because we all know how little the pay rate of that tier is and this further reduction may kill the energy and morale of participants working under that tier.

2. Wouldn't it be possible to make payments at a fixed amount in dollars so that In a case of more increase in the price of Bitcoin, the pay rate will not be affected.
Just a suggestion.
537  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: March 24, 2024, 09:34:53 AM
For me, buying every dip doesn't feel like seizing an opportunity; it feels more like a setback. I respect others' views on Bitcoin's price, but as a short-term trader, it's not my preferred strategy. Instead, I look for specific conditions to buy during dips, especially in bounce play setups. These involve buying low and selling quickly after a price rebound, which suits my trading style better. I steer clear of trades against the trend because they're less likely to succeed.

You are somehow complicating yourself because saying that buying at every dip doesn't feel like seizing an opportunity like I don't understand what you mean by that if actually you are a short term trader just like you claimed because ordinarily, traders buys at dip and sell as quick as possible when there is a rise in the market prices and this practice will make you so uncomfortable as every time you will get to monitor the movements in prices which will distract you from doing other things and the risks involved in trading is high as you can actually buy at a dip and it keeps dipping and you may be afraid of losing all your coin then you can decide to sell the left over which means you have already had a loss, and sometimes this changes happens most time and your mind will not be stable and at rest.

Just want you to know that it may be your decision to keep trading but our focus on this thread is centered at how we can buy and hold our coins in the long run so that we can record a tangible profit and it makes us be at ease of our investments and you don't monitor the activities of the market again as all you need is to accumulate and wait for the best circle to sell, trading may be beneficial to some people but it is more or less a 50/50 chances of losing and gaining because it does not have a guarantee that you will make profits all the time.

So far as life is concerned everyone needs to prepare their future on time and the best way is to learn a good investment practices that will stand as a relief at a time when we won't have the strength to work much again because that is what will smoothen our financial position in the near future and we should do away with the fear of failure and be very positive as well apply the best investment strategy that will enable us to become successful investors. Investments are attached with risks but the risks are minimal more especially when we invest in Bitcoin because you don't need to be disturbed about your investment as all you need do is just to keep your investment goals alive by accumulating more at every time there is a dip in the price of Bitcoin.

I've read some other comments in the thread and what your saying seems quite contradictory, I don't think the dip is the only time we should accumulate bitcoin since we are using the DCA method that involves buying at intervals and helps reduce the impact of market volatility on our portfolio, besides those who buy only at dips would miss out on all other times to buy.


You didn't actually get my points correctly, I don't mean that we should wait for a dip before accumulating but I meant that we should accumulate more on a dip which means that even if we are using the DCA and at a time we experience an immense dipping that at that period of time one can possibly acquire more than the actual amount you use for DCA as this idea is also a good investment practice.

539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It’s unlikely that anyone besides you will be happy with your winnings. on: March 24, 2024, 08:39:45 AM
I would like to discuss this topic, the joy of victory. Much has been written about this, but nevertheless it will always be relevant. Many players naively believe that someone other than themselves should be happy about their winnings. I don't think so. Of course, those closest to you who directly or indirectly depend on your money will be happy about your winnings. But neighbors, friends, work colleagues, at best (at best!) will receive the news of your victories with indifference, and at worst, with envy. I know that many friends and acquaintances get depressed when they find out how much you have earned. For them, it will be an unnecessary reminder of their failure. Often friendships end after one person becomes very rich. People lose common topics for communication, common interests disappear. Of course, things are different in sports betting and trading than in business. Here success is less stable and a person can often fall back into poverty more quickly. But it’s still better to hide your victories from others. I've seen many clear examples.

It is only enviness that will make someone not to be happy with others success, happiness for others success also attracts success to you so I see no reason why some people feel unhappy when others makes an achievement in life simply because they feel the person might be better than them after the success. This kind of behaviour have made so many people go to extent of being diabolical by joining occultic groups and witchcraft just because they don't want anyone close to them to be more successful than them. It is really very bad for someone to become unhappy over others breakthrough that is why it is important for people to be careful when they make an achievement in life because not every body is completely happy that you are becoming successful.
