I want you to know that trading is risky, maybe you were trading spot before, if you trade future now, the more you leverage the more you are likely to gain more or lose more. Use the money you can afford to lose for it.

Still learning the ropes of futures trading since I am not totally contented with just copy trading only. I did gained with copy trading, but I would like to learn how to self-gain it myself with my own decisions in futures trading.
If copy trading works for you, you will need to put it as part of your trading strategies, but you will still need to always be careful. I believe in the process of copying trading, you would have known much about trading, you would have experience about it. Only what you just need is to just continue to learn and gain more about experience about trading.

Like I said it is only available in US now, not in Africa, it is not removed and you can find the link for Bakkt app on their website:
https://www.bakkt.com/get-started
I checked for the wallet and I did not saw it on playstore, but I followed what you said and get the link that took me to playstore where I can download it but it does not support my country. Hope it is not just an app that is supported by just few countries, maybe only one country. Though I can not use the wallet because it is not custodial.



5305  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bakkt app wallet? on: March 31, 2021, 12:28:11 PM
I checked their Google store app and I see a lot of bad reviews claiming that app have many issues especially during their early access program.
I have checked google playstore for the app but I did not see anything, can you include the link using code. Or maybe the wallet has been removed from google playstore.

Any wallet that is custodial are not safe. It will be good to let us discuss more about this wallet if it was removed from google playstore or not. This will let us know if it is legit or not.

4. yobit

You should always avoid to deal with those sites, they are having very very bad reputation among the crypto users and more than 80% coins listed on those sites were scam coins.
You are not wrong about Yobit, the exchange has many shit coins, I remember there was a coin on the exchange called X10, people are lured to invest on the coin and get 10% daily profit, but if someone can leave the coins for a week, the price would have really dropped to the extent the the person will lose more than the daily reward. There are other coins on the exchange that I analysed to be shit coins, the moment you hold such coins, the moment of losses started, and if continue to hold it, it will lead to more losses.
5307  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling a business on: March 30, 2021, 02:15:30 PM
The only case gambling is a business is when you are the owner of a gambling company, the more people play, the more you gain.

I see most gamblers dress up early in the morning with strategies on how to win a bet. Most often this fellows has nothing else that adds value to their pockets except what ever winnings the make from their gamble. Could gambling be called a business or does it in anyway have  business attributes?
Anyone that take gambling as business will lose. Such people can even sell their properties because of gambling. Thinking they can win will create a poor mindset that will let them become addicted until they lose. They will lose and think they can win the money lost back, and they will lose the more. Gambling is for fun, never use the money you can not afford to lose to gamble, use low amount, do not gamble in a way it will affect your life.

Most gamblers risk all their assets with the mind of making multiple returns from massive odds. In most cases it turns out successful but in someother case the game turns against them. In real sense should gambling be a source of lively hood or should it be termed a side hustle.
No, gambling should not be a source of living, because psychologically, this will make gamblers lose than thought. Gambling is for fun.
5308  Other / Meta / Re: Being helpful - answer question with a link but still get the comment rejected on: March 30, 2021, 02:06:17 PM
If a link is suspicious, it will be removed, if truly is what can harm users devices, it will be deleted. It will be good to move your false accusation to meta which is the right board this thread should be. Lastly, shit posts are most commonly deleted. Never mind what I want to say, if your post contain a link and it is deleted, with your posts history I have gone through, it is most likely because your post is a shit post.
5309  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM ALERT] Beware there is a fake SafePal Site you should avoid it. !! on: March 30, 2021, 01:53:23 PM
Some people are just greedy, normally on every wallet (the ones that are recommended), it will be clearly stated out that the seed phrase should be safely stored somewhere that it will be used to recover back the wallet. That literally means if anyone get hold of the seed phrase, it will be used to access the wallet and access the keys it controls in a way to unlock bitcoin from blockchain and send it to another address, in this case the real bitcoin owner will lose. No matter how legit a site will are accessing, anytime any site ask us to fill in our seed phrase, the site is already compromised and should not be used not to talk of newly created site that should not be trusted at all. This is one of the reasons forums like this are import for newbie in crypto, to be able to avoid scammers.

I think this will be better on scam accusation baord. I have just gone through the site and also checked when their domain name was registered, it was registered in 2018, but I only still see this as a mean people can be scammed easily. According to the site, it is said Atrad.io is the first cryptocurrency arbitrage platform, and arbitrage deals with risk, it is like the site will help someone to trade in arbitrage market, taking advantage of different crypto prices, but trading is risky generally, if customers funds are lost, where will they see the money to recover? In this case, it is not advisable.
5311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ending the life - Gambling on: March 29, 2021, 06:41:32 PM
Have you guys thought of ending the life after big losses. Right now my mind is thinking of ending the life. It all started with just $700. I lost it, and in the event of recovering those fund I went for a loan and deposited around $2500. Here my fate, I lost everything once again. Then the recovery value increased from $700 to $3200. Here once again I deposited $9000 borrowing. Now that too is lost. My mind keeps saying end the life, with your earning you can't repay the amount lost.
This can happen to a bet addict, but you will need to stop gambling, I wish you were here before borrowing up to that extent, gambling should not be seen as a way to make money, it should be seen as otherwise. That is why people experienced gamblers like to use the money they can afford to lose to gamble. I have once being a victim, and wish to die when gambling took over $5000 from me, but I couldn't just kill myself. Today I have gotten the money back, I then realise if their is life, there is hope. Just forget about gamble for now, and focus on ways to make money, ones you have back the quality mindset, things can turn around for good.
5312  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: What is safest: Binance/exchanges or online software wallets? on: March 29, 2021, 11:38:58 AM
You might consider this question from another angle - would you rather keep your money in your own wallet or in some retail store?
Why entrust your money to a third party? I'm not saying you shouldn't keep your money on exchange... I often trade there myself... I'm saying that you don't need to keep ALL your money on exchange! Wink
No matter what, saving cryptocurrencies on exchanges should be discouraged completely. The good point you make is that it is advisable to keep it on wallets, not all wallets but only on noncustodial wallets because there is no much difference between exchanges and custodial wallet in term of someone having control over his cryptocurrencies, only noncustodial will be better. In addition, offline wallets will be good for high amount.
5313  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: bad week mojo lost on: March 29, 2021, 09:44:47 AM
All mistakes hopefully can make you more mature in making decisions in trading, all traders must have experienced losses even though they have been in trading activities for a long time.
Traders do have losses, but future trading is more difficult, on binance you can borrow up to 125x with the funds a trader have on binance, the more the leverage the more the losses. Even as spot trading is so risky and many traders found themselves losing, future trading is more. Some people will still go for 125x levegae and lose more and more often. But you are right, experience matters a lot, but what someone needs to really understand is to know how to manage risk, especially by reducing the leverage used.
5314  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Awareness and Meme Images on: March 29, 2021, 06:44:02 AM
This is just the real fact and the truth about gambling, gambling companies will never lack but always gain from people, the more people that gamble the more they will gain, that is one of the main reasons people should know gambling is risky. Some people can think they know about gambling and that their case can be different, but no case if different. If you use your property to gamble, you can lose all and most likely to lose all. If you use all your money to gamble, you can lose all, and most likely to lose all. If you use low amount of money to gamble, you can lose too, but this will still be better because you lose something not much, in a way you can not think about it and let you have the right mindset to gamble, and luckily possible a day a jackpot can be won unexpected. We should not use what we can not afford to gamble with.

5316  Economy / Speculation / Re: Damn, I should've bought bitcoin earlier! on: March 28, 2021, 03:16:10 PM
One of the reasons people are knowing more about bitcoin and want to invest is because they are seeing bitcoin to be a digital gold, to me I see it as an asset that might even be superior to gold in some decades to come because its supply is limited, that is the advantage it has to physical assets and also because it can not inflate but deflate and people buying it to deflate more and more. The price can be seen high today, but within the next 4 years the price would have increased more after several price fluctuations.
5317  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: P2TR can make people that are using multisig wallets to increase on: March 28, 2021, 07:32:11 AM
Different wallets are built and upgraded by different developer teams and you can not say other wallets depend on Bitcoin Core upgrade to do theirs.
Do not comment on what you do not know, soft fork upgrade like segwit and taproot will first be implemented on bitcoin core, the implementation will be immediately after bitcoin community all support the activation. Like for taproot, the next stage they are is speedy trial in which miners will signal for support during certain short period of time, while if most miners signal for activation, the activation will then occur like three months time after the speedy trial.

Even if the offline wallet private key is seen by hackers, it can be used to steal the whole wallet from someone, it can happen to all wallets, but unlike multisig wallets, unless all the certain number of private keys require for signing is known, which will be difficult if saved offline and in different locations.
It is what you choose when you create your multisig wallet: signature and cosigner.
"Choose the number of signatures needed to unlock funds in your wallet:"
In Electrum wallets, the max number for signature and cosigner are 15.
I know the principle that guides the use of multisig, also this thread is not about how to use multisig, it is about how taproot activation will help multisig users to take advantage of low fee. Also, the maximum number of cosigners on electrum is 5, and also the maximum number of private key that can be set is 5, not 15.
5318  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / P2TR can make people that are using multisig wallets to increase on: March 27, 2021, 11:44:52 PM
P2TR is known as pay to Taproot, P2TR has not yet been activated in Bitcoin Core which means other wallets has not also been supoorting it. But the activation of P2TR will not pass this year, likely it will be before November of this year as we quite know miners will support the activation.

Multisig wallets are wallets that can create M of N private keys, M means the number of private keys that will be able to sign among those that generate the wallet with total number of N private keys. As for what I have known, I can say multisig wallet has good advantages even over other wallet types because of the private keys that are generated to sign for transactions can be more than one. Even if the offline wallet private key is seen by hackers, it can be used to steal the whole wallet from someone, it can happen to all wallets, but unlike multisig wallets, unless all the certain number of private keys require for signing is known, which will be difficult if saved offline and in different locations.

Assuming I am using multisig wallet, I have 2 private keys to sign transactions, if one of the private keys is known to a hacker, it will still be impossible for the hacker to steal the wallet from me, the reason the two private keys should not be safe together but save offline differently in different locations.

Many people know how multisig wallet are very safe, but they do not use it because of the higher transaction fee which will be required. P2TR will make use of schnorr signature, the signing will be in a way that the transaction will be like a transaction of normal wallets that make use of one private key and one public key for transaction, this will make the transaction fee to be low and be like normal single wallet transactions. The amazing thing is that P2TR will support multisig transaction which can make people that make use of multisig wallet to increase after P2TR activation.

What do you think? Will Taproot activation increases the number of people and organizations that will make use of multisig wallets because of the transaction fee reduction?

Nigeria finally broke the unbeaten record of squirrel of Benin today beating them 1-0 ,
Nigeria just has the chance, the goal was after 90 minutes of the game, I mean the goal was during the little extra of the time given. But Benin Republic had already lost in a game before, it was Nigeria that won the country at the time too. And of course, Lesotho and Sierra Leone are just bonus mark for as they are not playing good at all.

I wonder how many teams from this continent can qualify for the World Cup? The level is clearly lower than in Europe and South America namely.
I hope you can see the topic title, this is not about Europe or South America, this is about Africa, and precisely about Africa Cup of Nations.

5320  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Someone with experience with WINK (WIN)? on: March 27, 2021, 07:41:06 PM
The marketcap for Wink (Win) recently is $121.54 million, this means it is still a coin at its early stage, it is ranked 328 currently. What I know about this type of coin is for someone to never use what can not be afforded to lose because such coin bear market can be very devastating in a way it will make people lose like shitcoins do, but the coin can increase more if bull market still set. I will just advice you to tell your friend to invest little on this coin, but bull run might help its price to increase further.
