5381  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ African Cup Of Nations Cameron 2021 Qualifiers ⚽ on: March 27, 2021, 10:46:01 AM
My predictions:
Lesotho 1-2 Sierra Leone
Benin 0- 2 Nigeria.
Four matches have been played, this is the table:



Nigeria is playing away, Benin also really trying, but this game should not be hard for Nigeria to win. Nobody yet know how the outcome will be but I am 95% certain that Nigeria is not going to lose, it is either win or draw. About Lesotho and Sierra Leone, the game looks unpredictable as both countries players are not performing good.

5382  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin scarsity, the reason it's worth hodling bitcoin on: March 26, 2021, 06:57:08 PM
There has been many bitcoin critics that have made negative statements about bitcoin, some says bitcoin is a ponzi scheme, some says bitcoin will eventually fail, some do not just like bitcoin for no reason. But people that understand the basis of economics and know bitcoin very well are the ones that can differentiate between bitcoin and what ignorant (bitcoin critics) people do say about bitcoin. It was so surprising as bitcoin became the most successful asset of last decade, and also getting more support from people as they are more knowing about bitcoin, knowing it is the asset of the future, the digital gold and the modern ways money can be used as an asset.

Bitcoin was create in 2009, only 21 million bitcoin were created which to be mined by miners, while the last bitcoin is estimated to be mined in 2140, bitcoin was created in a way to be an asset that will appreciate in value over time. Although, the price do fluctuates, but after long time, the price will increase, a good reason will should go for it.

Bitcoin scarsity
Only 21 million bitcoin were created and that will be mined, this makes the total supply of bitcoin that will be available to be limited, this makes bitcoin a scarse asset. Recently, almost 19 million bitcoin are mine already, and ever since 2009, the price of bitcoin as been increasing. Traders do want to take advantage of the price fluctuations but many traders lost bitcoin during trading, but those that have been holding bitcoin and never panic all gained.

It is never too late to invest on bitcoin, unlike the fiat that will devalue as time progresses, the fiat are regulated by the governments, the governments regulate it in a way the price also increase and decrease too, but after long time, the price will significantly reduce after several manipulations. I am not saying holding fiat is bad but not advisable as the value will continue to decrease  because of government manipulations, that is why we need to go for what is scarse because if something is limited, it means people will know about it, this will make its price to be increasing as people demanding for it will be increasing.

I think because game is game and nothing is impossible in game but the chances can be very slim, but it can happen, this makes the question unnecessary. I will advice you to increase your post quality.
5384  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Help between gamblers to win bets on: March 26, 2021, 01:55:04 PM
I ve seen that in the specified leagues threads the discussion its not very productive and its only some thoughts about the outcame of the games i think it should be topics on specific games mainly games on big leagues so it can be disscussed in details.
I have recently also thought about this, truly I too noticed it is not productive. The only thing that can be done in this case is to make another of such thread, but indicating it is only for prediction. In this case, it will be included that people will only need to predict the scores and other outcomes of matches, and that their can be few comments about the reason why the score is predicted. You can start with the English Premier League to see how it works out.
5385  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Help between gamblers to win bets on: March 26, 2021, 01:44:27 PM
This will be a good idea, but what games are you talking about? Is it the FA cup, Champions League, World Cup Qualifier, or any of the many games that are currently ongoing. All can not be discussed on just a thread. You will need to specify which one you want to add. If a thread related to any league is already in the gambling discussion, no need to add it, you can just go to individual threads and make comments about how the game will look like, you can also predict what will be the score.
5386  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wave of gambling may end with COVID recovery? on: March 26, 2021, 01:34:25 AM
Add campaigns were also heavy on TV, internet and other. Do you think that this trend is here to stay or people will gamble less once COVID is better solved.
If we check the rate of how people that gamble are increasing, we may not attribute the increase in 2020 to Covid-19. What I just noticed is that more people are joining to gamble, the major cause of this are

1. The rate people are having access to the internet which is increasing.
2. The rate at which gambling sites are making their sites more compatible with phones, unlike before which are only more compatible with computers.
3. The world population that is also increasing, the more people the more the number of people that will gamble.

These are what I attributed as the reasons why more people are gambling, and the reasons that more people will gamble in the future.
5387  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAmWATCH] NFL Jason Verrett Twitter Hacked; Promoting Elon Musk Scam Site on: March 25, 2021, 08:50:52 PM
I can't understand how easy it has become these days for scammers to hack verified accounts of prominent people on Twitter, to either promote one form of giveaway scam or the other. Elon Musk has cut a popular figure in the crypto world of late, endorsing Bitcoin and being quite vocal about a few other coins, thus it's only normal that his name be used by scammers, to create fake giveaway sites and threads.
What really surprised me in the past (2020) was when one celebrity 2fa-enabled Twitter account was hacked, it was protected by another layer of protection which is 2fa but yet hacked, if such can happen, we need to be very careful online. But what thing about such giveaway is that victims will be told to pay certain amount and get double or more of the amount paid which is a lie, giveaway should not request for anything, if requesting, it should not be done by anyone for not to become victim.
5388  Other / Meta / Re: Why do people beg on this forum? on: March 25, 2021, 07:22:15 PM
Don't forget to report the thread which are created for begging because which is against forum rules, the thread will be trashed and the user will be nuked for sure.
Doing that, but it doesn't seem to help much. I mean I know it helps, but these kids have more time than I do.
It do help, as fast as many people report such thread, as fast as it will be deleted. That is why such threads are seen deleted as fast as possible. As we see such thread, we should report it so that the person's account will be nuked and the post to be deleted.
5389  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can anyone Give answers? on: March 25, 2021, 06:27:33 PM
You create this topic on the wrong board, move it to altcoin discussion.

I can not trust USDt.

But about regulation, cryptocurrencies generally are gradually undergoing regulation step by step. You do not need to segregate stable coins from unstable coins.
5390  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion about Merit Pop up on: March 25, 2021, 04:14:53 PM
I suggest that this default value is changed to 1, which is the most common merit value transacted. This will also avoid mistakes like sending 10.
I think making it just blank will be the best, it will make people to avoid the error. But thinking it should be changed to 1 is just self centeredness, how about LoyceV that do send 4 or 6, or Suchmoon that do send 4 or 7, o-e-l-e-o do send 2. Because you do send 1 should not be the reason while it should be changed because there are some people that do send more than 1. Making it blank will be good by default, but if changed or not changed, always be careful and check and recheck before sending merit to someone.
5391  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are you guys happy if bitcoin will dropped to $10k? Why? on: March 25, 2021, 11:56:55 AM
I do not see this as question because it is like a question that the answers are already known. If you have a lot of bitcoin already, or altcoins, you will wish the price to crash. If you do not have money to invest when the price fall, you will not care, but if you have money, not invested yet, you will want the price to crash to less than $10000 or below for you to have a proper time to invest for profit.
5392  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Data suggesting more than 95% traders are losing on: March 25, 2021, 08:52:38 AM
My conclusion, long-term is more profitable than day trades but only traders who have a high level of patience can change theirs trading activity into investments.
That is the good point, the traders lost a lot of funds because they panic and thought they got no option again than to just sell their coins, but cryptocurrencies can be so unpredictable at times, most the the traders lost in 2017, and sold in losses, but had it been they hold, they would have gained back all the losses and even gain more than expected in profit, but it takes years which makes patience to be the key reason for the holders to gain.
5393  Economy / Speculation / Re: How far below $10k in 2021? on: March 24, 2021, 09:44:06 PM
If you check very well, you will noticed the instructions are making sure and trying all they could for the price of bitcoin not to go down, all I know is that bitcoin can not even reach $10000 again if things are like this, all you may later realise are more institutions and whales pumping money into bitcoin investment, this is not like 2018 bear market, and bitcoin has gone popular than to be like 2018 bear market.
5394  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum 4.0.9 Receive Address Problems on: March 24, 2021, 09:41:16 PM
You want to generate new address on electrum? Click on the Receive tab, click on new address after, another address will be generated. It is not truly good to be reusing same address but I am still wondering how you find this difficult on electrum 4.0.9.
5395  Economy / Speculation / Re: How is the bitcoin price decreasing during bear market on: March 24, 2021, 03:50:25 PM
The price of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general fall at bear markets simply because a lot of people are selling their bitcoin to other people. That's pretty much just it. It's just that the price goes down because there are far more sellers than buyers.
I think I get you rightly, if there are few people selling and less than the people that are buying, that means the price of the coin will increase, but in case the sellers are increasing while only few people are buying, sellers will not have option than to sell at low price because no much buyer for it, this will lead the bear market.
5396  Economy / Speculation / How is the bitcoin price decreasing during bear market on: March 24, 2021, 10:39:11 AM
I understand little about what controls the price of bitcoin, that is not the question of today. But I am thinking how the price is decreasing when altcoins are decreasing too. Let us assume that bitcoin is not sold for altcoins but to fiat directly.

I think exchanges link buyers and sellers together in a way people that will buy will buy bitcoin from people that will sell, but certainly this will just let the value of bitcoin not to increase or decrease.

The question is, if I sell bitcoin on exchnges, it does not necessarily means someone will buy it, if someone do not buy it but it is sold, that means it will be converted into fiat and the main reason for decrease in bitcoin price during bear market when the price of bitcoin and many others cryptocurrencies are falling?
5397  Economy / Reputation / Re: Why does Foxpup only send negative feedback? on: March 24, 2021, 09:22:22 AM
Did Foxpup inappropriately give negative feedback? Or you know a user she inappropriately gave negative feedback? If not, then you can pm Foxpup to tell you the reason. But if it is me, I will not respond you because it is not a meaningful question after the evidences of given such feedbacks are clear.
5398  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the Nigeria Central bank confusing its citizens? on: March 23, 2021, 09:44:22 PM
The fact is one can not blame the central bank on it decision because cryptocurrency is a new innovations and at that the central bank need to study and fine a way of regulating it activities within the financial system, but the truth is no government can actually stop the usage of crypto but the CBN did this to protect the naira from further devaluation that is already happening and stop scamming activities that are carried out with the help of cryptocurrency.
I do it think we should not blame the CBN, even when banks transactions to or from crypto organizations are banned now, p2p are now used. The so called fraud will soon be done using p2p which is even more safe. What the CBN should do is to regulate, not ban crypto transactions into banks in Nigeria.
5399  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi Nakamoto's first post sale on: March 23, 2021, 07:33:10 PM
It depends on who have the highest amount to be paid, but I know it will be costly. Assuming there are 1000 people that wish to buy it, all with different amount, if the last person to buy it want to buy it with $1 million, there can still be someone that may stand out and says he wants to pay $1.1, if no other person to pay higher, then it will be sold at $1.1, which means the amount depends on what the buyer with the highest amount paid while others not able to increase theirs above the buyer's prices.
5400  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: BitBox02 Hardware Wallet on: March 23, 2021, 06:04:00 PM
I checked about the wallet, it is open source, this can make the wallet to be trusted if no malacious code is found in its source code, but I will still prefer to go for other hardware wallets that are common and recommendable, like trezor especially for being open source. BitBox02is just a new wallet, I can not guarantee it until it has being used for sometimes and no vulnerability found or when vulnerabilities are already found and fixed.
