521  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Be aware, no use person wallet . on: March 02, 2024, 05:48:48 AM
As this issue of binance and government dey go so, I go advise make person no go put coins for another person wallet because say em no get another wallet. My reasons be say as binance done shot down naira for their platforms and people go dey fin reliable wallet to put their coins. Make them also dey careful with the ones wey them go sign up with. If you no sabi any wallet, go beginners and help board then ask we done dey enter the bull run already.
Na true you talk. also another thing too na people wey go wan Change wallet address to put their friend own, fit go put a forum member own, and if this mad people dey Waka all those campaign board, dem fit go meet am say na alt ACC come link people account. Because that matter don become usual case. If ona see wetting happen for Reputation board concerning our 9ja local board members you go see wetting happen dere na just small mistake na skata everything untill today so make we also dey careful for that aspects.
Brother you really dy on point, most times Dem no know say na a close friend wey also dy de forum wey use ur wallet address withdraw, now way you the owner of the wallet don rank up, and you wan start to dy use am, Dem go just conclude say  the first guy wey use am alt, but anyway, make we try dy careful on that aspect.

Lastly, about this story wey the op talk of person wey say him no fit access him coin again for binance, wey we all know say na lie, we fit still transfer am to another exchange wey we fit withdraw, all those kind lie them, na newbie or complete novies dy mostly fall for that trick, abeg make our newbies Dem dy careful oo, because na Dem be mostly be scammers target.

Their is a saying that, if you are wise, it will be beneficial to you, but if you are foolish, it will also be beneficial, but to others.

Anybody wey allow politicians use Dem no wise, you don ever ask yourself where their children dy? If you no know, just know today, Dem no dy for we country, that's why Dem wan just spoil this country keep, when bad tin happen like war, na Dem wey get money go first run, those wey no  get to use run out of the country, go dy here and face it or die, if some of my fellow youth  like, make Dem no wise.
523  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Diversification is the only solution now on: March 01, 2024, 04:45:18 PM
Brother, that one na normal thing wey person wey dy think sopos dy do by now, because before you even think of investing, you sopos know say you need a source of income wey go dy keep you going till ur business start to dy bear fruit, and it's not good to put ur full hope on a single income, just imagine if our government short down anything crypto in this country and we no get access to transact again, people wey no get another thing doing go just dy stranded, so it very important say we get another thing wey dy give us money aside crypto.

Lastly, it's very important that even though you dy see a lot of money in crypto, as a wise man, you no sopos dy idle, because as a man wey we be, it's very important say we dy busy, because an idle man is a devil work shop.

From the start of all this drama, it was very obvious to me that the Nigerian government is trying to take their own share of the 26billion dollars they heard that binance had made in Nigeria, I know my country Nigeria very much and how predictable our government can be, they are just using the naira dollar exchange rate to put in front, but I know that they just want binance to settle them so that they can be happy, let's just watch and see how this drama will unfold, if  binance will settle them or take the case to international court.
525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: March 01, 2024, 01:28:28 PM
If Manchester City wants to win the UCL title this season, the only way is to stop the steps of these three clubs, Madrid, Munich and also Inter Milan, which might be a serious threat to Manchester City, as we saw last season that Manchester City beat Munich and Madrid to achieve last season's UCL final, finally beating Inter Milan in the final, that's what enabled Manchester City to win the title this season. so they have to be able to get rid of the strongest clubs before thinking about becoming UCL champions this season.
I doubt with Bayern Munich is difficult opponent team for Manchester City defending their UEFA Champion League tittle, had bad performance in domestic league and losses on first leg match on round of 16 I doubt with Bayern Munich has opportunity for qualifying to quarter final or stopping Manchester City for winning Champion League tittle. I see Real Madrid and Inter Milan is two top teams will make difficult for Manchester City to be Champion League winner, both teams had consistent performance in domestic league and Inter Milan one step closer will be the Serie A winner and most focus for playing in Champion League.

I want to see in quarter final round the top teams such as Madrid, Manchester City and Inter Milan not face each other early before semifinal or final stage round. Most ideal and final dreaming of UEFA Champion League season 2023/24 between Real Madrid vs Manchester City regarding both teams have quit well performance.
I also share the same sentiment as you, I really don't see this current Bayern Munich as a threat to Manchester city quest for this year champions league glory, I expected arsenal to be in the mix because I think they will be more of a threat to Manchester city than this Bayern Munich you are talking about.

Another thing is that, I mentioned arsenal because, since it's a team of same league, they knows Manchester city the way Manchester city knows them, and if they are being pared against each other, it will be more difficult for Manchester city compared to this Bayern Munich team, if they can actually progress past fc Porto in the reverse fixture in the round of 16 match between them.
526  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge on: March 01, 2024, 01:14:43 PM
It hasn't really been easy for me to keep up with the 100  push ups everyday. The first day I started, I woke up in the morning with several aches all over my body. I was having pains on my muscles all over. I suffered this because for long I haven't been exercising my body. My body is reacting to the new activities, I couldn't complete 100 push up since my first trial. I don't know if anyone else is experiencing same thing.

This is exactly what I am talking about, and sometimes we might not have had realized that we over did it.

We might have to do modified pushups or do fewer or spread them out throughout the day and build up to 100 in a day, or whatever might be our goal.

We should not even feel bad if we might have to reduce our quantity or the way that we do them, since we should be careful not to injure ourselves or to psychologically lose the battle.


Yeah I love the idea of spreading it out through out the day for anyone that can't do it at once, besides it's meant to be a fun excerise than to get ourselves overly worked out or injured in the process of doing more than we can.

Modifying it is the best idea, I'm currently mixing it up with sit ups and I'm just relaxing on doing 70 push ups until I have build the muscle for more pushups.
Actually I understand the point you are trying to make, but I believe that the purpose of this pushups is to get fit and healthy, so to me, I don't bye the idea of spreading it throughout the day, because you can't get the desired result of the pushups doing it that way, because in exercise, their is a saying that say; No pain, no gain.

So the more you do it, the more pains you will feel and the more fitter you will become, so if you really want to get fit doing it till Bitcoin rise to 100k, then i suggest you try your possible best if you can be doing it till you get to your limit, it must not necessarily be 100, buy let it get to a reasonable figure that takes you to your limit, so 70 is quite ok if that's your limit.
527  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: People that benefited are the holders on: March 01, 2024, 12:35:03 PM
I won't conclude entirely that the only people who benefit are the holders. Its just been a week or two since we saw the rise of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I believe even the traders and people who bought bitcoin have benefited from it these past few weeks. We will see more potential in bitcoin this year, and truly, the holders and those who are willing to start holding now will reap much benefit. Imagine bitcoin reaching 100k from now until the year ends. What will you say since you are already excited about the small movement to 60k. Holders will become millionaires and billionaires if they are able to leave there bitcoins from now until 2025. My prediction  is that from now until 2025, bitcoin will be 500k. I have never been wrong in my predictions, so I will not be wrong on this one.
Do you actually say that? 500k? I actually think that is unrealistic for now, even though we are expecting the bull run to take place anytime soon, I really don't think Bitcoin can achieve that figure next year, but if you are talking of 2029,  I think it would be much more realistic than 2025.

You can also be right in some aspect that traders benefited, but I can  confidently tell you that the percentage of traders that benefited is not up to 10%, because in trading their is a higher possibility that you can lose all the money you made in a month, in a single day, so holders made more, due to it stables profit it brings in.
528  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Does power really corrupt? on: March 01, 2024, 08:24:08 AM
I don't think power actually have the ability to corrupt any, be it economic power, military power, financial power, physical power, intelectual power, and spiritual power, what I knows that it does is to bring out the true colors of a person.

Because I have seen so many people that possess power of different kinds that that are still humble and sincere down to earth, so I believe that power only reveal the true colors of someone.
529  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / People that benefited are the holders on: March 01, 2024, 07:56:21 AM
My country people, good morning and happy new month, abeg make we no allow this our government hostile policy toward exchange and difficulties to make withdrawals this period, stop us from accumulating and holding more Bitcoin, because I believe say na naija we dy, we can always withdraw, we go know how to withdraw in one way or the other, their is a reason why we dy among nations with the top IQ's in the world.

So i suggest we focus more on accumulating and holding Bitcoin, because as Bitcoin rise so, people wey benefit from it are the holders, no allow anybody deceive you, for this crypto world, holders nail dy make money pass people wey dy trade, anybody wey dy say, him dy make so so and so in trading dy lie, because trading no easy as most people or influencers dy paint am as, abeg, if we go succeed in this business, try to be a holder, because na Dem dy benefit pass.
530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: March 01, 2024, 05:49:35 AM
Arsenal's mentality has been a problem since several seasons ago and this season they are also in doubt about winning the Premier League title because of similar things and I think that's quite natural and their competitors Liverpool and Manchester City have everything.
If you look at the quality of the three teams competing for the title this season, it is quite balanced, but there are several things that make the difference and mathematically all three have quite the same opportunity.

I don't see this problem with Arteta, basically the Arsenal team doesn't have a good mentality, especially as their squad is full of young players.

If we review Arsenal, of course it will never end because of the long history they have, after appearing as an unbeaten team in one season, Arsenal slowly began to experience a significant winner mental decline until now, the main problem Arsenal to still failed to win the trophy in the last few seasons lies in the mentality they have and I think everyone knows this, apart from that, if we look at the actual depth of the Arsenal squad, it is also one of the factors they failed to become champions even when they were quite close to the trophy like last season.

Liverpool and Manchester City have the complete requirements to win the trophy at the end of the season ,these two teams so far have a winning mentality and quite complete squad depth compared to Arsenal, indeed, Arsenal  performance this season can be seen extraordinary and little by little their mentality is starting to be tested, but I think the depth of the squad they have could actually be the reason for failure again this season, in several Arsenal matches, it was seen that Arteta continued to play his main players even though they were facing a slightly weak team and this this was done because Arsenal does not have many quality reserve players and this is different from Manchester City and Liverpool which have a fairly balanced squad depth, so that when their main players are injured, Manchester City and Liverpool can still be consistent in playing, while Arsenal?
Surely you already know the answer.
To me i don't really think the problem of this arsenal team is their mentality, no, it's not, what I feels like is their major challenge which have repeated itself over and over again is their lack of consistency in get results and putting away the smaller teams most especially, because Manchester city and Liverpool have all it takes in their ranks to fight till the end and get the results needed even when they are not at their best, but you see this arsenal team, any day they are not at their best, they find it extremely difficult to even get a draw, which they have to change if they want to stand a chance of winning this year premier league title.
531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 01, 2024, 05:33:43 AM
We should not use Arsenal's past mistake of missing out on winning the Premier League trophy last season to judge them that they will not win the Premier League trophy this season, even though there is a chance of Arsenal winning it. Arsenal is consistent this season, and they are two points behind Liverpool. Arsenal has what it takes to win the Premier League trophy this season.
This season Liverpool, City and Arsenal have a very small difference in points and this will be a competition between 3 teams to win the EPL title. This is not like the previous season where only Arsenal and City competed at the end of the season. This season is more competitive and I think Arsenal must be really consistent if they want to aim for the title. Liverpool and City are playing very well so far. I think the Liverpool vs City match will be an opportunity for Arsenal to overtake second place in the standings. But Arsenal also have 1 match against City in the following week. I think the title this season is just between Liverpool and City.
I think it's quite understandable to take arsenal as less of a contender than Manchester city and Liverpool because this arsenal team has proven over and over again that they aren't consistent enough to mount a serious title challenge till the very end.

And secondly, I don't think arsenal can be that consistent enough to maintain  the push for the title since it's a three horse race because any slip up from them which is very much likely, especially against the smaller teams will be extremely difficult for them to recover, because right now, it's not just one team they are fighting with for the title, but against two, so they can't afford to drop more points at this stage of the competition which we have known them for, but if they want to stand a chance of lifting the title, they just have to be getting the winnings irrespective of how bad the might perform,  because at the end of the day, the most important thing is the results.

My brother, na the problem be that, Nigeria as a country na nation wey God don bless with so many natural resources, but we for we country just like to wicked each other base on say our government no put people in place to hunt down people wey dy still skyrocket the price of things even when e don dy cheap, most people for we country Sabi complain well well, but if you give Dem power today, na Dem go even wicked pass the people wey Dem dy complain of since.

This our country wey we see so, I believe say na God dy punish us with this current administration because of our sin don too much, other African countries no dy suffer like the way we dy suffer, but na we get money and resources pass, to me make we just ask for mercy from God, because na only God go fit bring wetin don go up for naija my country to come down.
533  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Binance problems with FG intensify on: February 29, 2024, 01:37:19 PM
Hmmm, it's a very sad and regrettable act by the the Nigerian government to be taking such a measures , which is totally the wrong thing to do, if people's in government offices were competent in discharging their duties, they would be focusing on how to make the economy better, by doing so, the naira will stabilize and in due time, it will start appreciating against dollar, but this actions they are taking now is just like a time bomb that will get explode one day, even when we aren't seeing any effect it's having on the price of goods and services in the country.

The only thing they will achieve by such measures is to drive investors out of the country, and what surprised me the most about this current administration is that, instead of them to working on the economy which is horribly bad now, they are busy looking for who to push the blame on, which binance is now one of their victim now.

You are partially right about what you are actually saying because at the end of the day, it's all about 💰 money,  but in life, intelligence and knowledge is the key, education is very important in a man's life because it enlightens you and makes you know more on how to make money which will eventually makes your life easier.

Do you know that most of the deep shit we are in now, in our today's life is lack of knowledge, even in the crypto world, those people that leveraging on it, are people that have knowledge about it, and they knows how to make money from it, which will definitely impact their lives positively, so my brother, seek knowledge first, before going for money.
536  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria Government Detains Two Binance Executives on: February 29, 2024, 09:50:20 AM

I have long anticipated this particular event between the Nigeria government and binance to take place in the future which is happening now. I remember in my previous comments on a topic created here and the other platform where I said that the government would soon begin clamp down on binance just to get the list of Nigerians registered on their platform since their inception and here it is taking shape. I believe all these fight like I Initially said is just to get at binance to pay tax of all the transaction charges they've been benefitting from Nigeria p2p trade deals.

I believe this is amongst the reasons why the clamp down is taking a different tone altogether and this was the response from the CBN governor when asked about the binance clampdown;
 “In the last four years, more than $26 billion have been funnelled through Binance without trace.”

I would not be surprised that some powers that be themselves are into the Crypto currency trade and are just hiding behind playing innocent but doing the unthinkable just to protect or cover up their dirty act with the funds under their custody.

In all, the major reasons behind this scuffle is just taxation. The Nigeria government just wants binance to pay tax of all transactions  they have conducted on the Nigeria binance p2p platform which they want to benefit from  that's all. That is a huge amount of money which they know themselves could benefit from through channeling it to other means in the name of projects and other engagements.

My concern now is this, would the federal government charge binance to pay for tax in arrears right from their inception and also charge Nigerians registered with binance to pay tax in same fate as they have begin to put pressure on binance to give them list and details of Nigerians registered with them right from their inception.

Your thoughts and opinions are welcomed.

https://gazettengr.com/nsa-ribadu-detains-two-binance-executives-in-abuja-demands-list-of-nigerians-on-global-crypto-platform/
This is actually a pathetic move by the government just for their selfish interest, because I know very well that all this their actions is not because of the interest of the citizens, it's because they feel that they can milk out something from binance since they believe that binance have what it takes to pay what so ever fine imposed on them as punishment for not paying tax to the Nigerian government all this while.

And come to think of it, how is this actions of theirs reducing the price of goods and services in the country? Because things in the market are still very costly, I just feels like this current government is bent on making life difficult for everyone living in Nigeria, let's just believe that in due time, the storm will be over, let just watch and see where it will lead them to.
537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: February 29, 2024, 09:09:29 AM
Losing 1-0 to Porto in the first leg was really unfortunate for Arsenal as they played quite overwhelmingly but did not score a goal. Porto is always an unpleasant opponent in the UCL, but looking back at the teams entering the qualifying round, this is a much easier opponent for them. Hopefully the Emirates home field will help Arsenal play more confidently and win against Porto in the second leg.
The 1-0 defeat against Porto was not complicated for Arsenal, even though Porto has always been a bad club, that doesn't mean they are difficult to beat. We know that Porto always beat big clubs in the last 16 of the Champions League, but we have to know that the second leg will be  played at Arsenal which is expected to be beneficial for Arsenal in getting a goal. At least a 2-0 result is enough to advance Arsenal to the next round, at least to avoid a draw or keep Porto from scoring goals above 2, because that will eliminate Arsenal in the number of away goals.  and aggregate goals.

 To me this match between arsenal vs Porto is really going to be a very difficult match for arsenal irrespective of the fact that they are playing at home this time around, just look at the statistics of the previous match at the home stadium of fc Porto, arsenal were the dominant team all through, but they were unable to register even a single shot on target, which is not a good thing for a top quality team as arsenal.

I sees Porto as that team that will makes you pay dearly if they are being underated, and arsenal need to be more direct in their attacking play if they don't want the same scenario that took place last time to repeat itself, but as it stands, the tie is still open, it can still go either ways.
538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 29, 2024, 08:46:59 AM

It could be that this is a strategy implemented by Manchester United to save the stamina of their attackers in the match against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals, that the match could break everyone's predictions in the match, we will never know Man United's game, maybe they will win the match or not.  even knocking Liverpool out, the world of football is a surprising thing for fans, so in my opinion this is Man United's strategy in maintaining the stamina of its players to win this season's title in the FA Cup.
Manchester United have the most difficult opponent in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, in fact, City would not be an easier opponent, but this does not change the essence, most likely everything will end for Manchester United at this stage. I am of the opinion that Klopp and his team will want to win everything they can this season and they are moving towards this goal quite well, but even the match with Nottingham for Manchester United was very difficult, and they were able to score only at the end of the match.
This Manchester united game against Liverpool is really going to be a very difficult match for them, because they both have the ability to beat each other, though Liverpool have had the upper hand in their encounter in recent times, but I believe that Manchester united will give a better fight as they did in their immediate past meeting.

Another thing Manchester united need to work on is their defense, because in most of their recent matches against the top teams, they are easily cutout open by  the attacking players of the bigger teams, so they need to improve in that aspect, if they want to stand a chance of progressing to the next stage of the competition.

A big congratulations to you on your winnings bro, to me gambling is much easier and fun when you gambles like you just want to try out your luck, not when you sees it as a means of making money,  because if you take it like fun way, by staking with what you can afford to lose, you will see that, you will do well in your predictions more than when you are staking it like you must make something out of this betting you are placing now, in such scenario, you will observe that you will sometimes be confused or you will be too careful, and that is what will make us some time to go for the wrong options.
540  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many times we will make the same mistake? - History repeats Again & Again! on: February 29, 2024, 07:39:26 AM
Maybe 10 years from now in 2034 someone will be doing this same calculation, that 10 years ago in 2024 if we bought Bitcoin we would have made 34600% profit. At that time maybe the price of Bitcoin will rise at 8 digits! Maybe I won't be around then but Bitcoin will be fine. Smiley
Past events are not indicative of future performances. The price increase during the first ten years of Bitcoin cannot be replicated over the next decades. It was starting from zero then and had a huge ceiling to be able to grow. We are still early now but definitely not starting from zero; an increase of $34600% from this point should be putting 1BTC at around a billion dollars, that's not realistic, except a supersonic inflation hits and fiat currencies becomes almost valueless.
I 100% agree with you here because it was more easier for Bitcoin to do $34600% while in lower figures than for it to replicate that same feet at this current price it's already at, especially in a very short period of time like the ten years period of time, because I really don't see Bitcoin hitting a billion dollars in ten years time even though it's a very attractive asset to invest in.
