If I can understand and capture your information clearly, someone contacted you via telegram and told you to pay for signals to join the forum. I need more clarification, please.

Although let me explain more to you about this form, you are welcome to bitcoin talk, where issues pertaining to bitcoin and other cryptocurrency are being discussed. This is the right channel to have adequate information about bitcoin, but to understand more about this forum, I will like to share some links with you that will help you a lot in this forum.

Investing in altcoins is also a great idea, but I will emphasise and also encourage them to invest in bitcoin because when you focus on investing in altcoins, you will end up putting your funds down for a scammer, which might even affect you even more than you think because there is some mentality that we all have, though some call it greediness, but I believe it is just a mentality because almost all are ready to give out some of our private information in order to achieve a huge amount of profit, which has made many fall into the hands of scammers. If we can reduce our expectations, I think we should invest in bitcoin and some sure and trusted altcoins.

It was a typing error, actually a decentralised, not desensitised, so thanks for the correction.

If you want to focus on sports betting, you have to choose because we have different types of sports, some people usually bet on basketball, others bet on football, and for me, to start predicting a game, all you need to know is to learn from an expert in football or basketball. As I always say, gambling is a lucky game, so if you learn from an expert and you also engage in following the history of the term, whether it is football or basketball, you will have more experience predicting the game, and if you are lucky, you will be successful.

Although I am not that good at gambling, I do gamble at times, so sometimes I win while other times I lose. In gambling, you should always believe that you will win at the same time you will lose, and very important, you should create a budget for your game in order not to become addicted to gambling.

What I realize is that almost all of us have another perception of health and other health-related issues. For instance, those who did signature campaigns and other traders always focused on the screens of their phones, tablets, laptops, and computers, which have an effect on the eyes. With a health board, you can understand this and also know some ways and solutions to manage these issues. So, not that I am insisting, but I feel there is a need for that because we can’t focus on making money and forget our health.

That is just it. Most of the time, people that stick around you are there because of what you have, and I know if you lose it, they will definitely leave you. Although you have already encountered the situation, a wise man says that “if you want to be successful in life, you should avoid too many friends." Looking at this, having many friends can make you not think about your finances because they will show you that they are always with you and make you not calculate your expenses.
So the only advice I can give you is to have a budget based on your income. If possible, the budget should be lower than your income so that you can save enough to recover your former financial status so that you can plan a good life and also reduce bad friends. If not, you will still go back to your previous life.

Greetings, fellow members, and other high-ranking members in this forum.
Today I decided to pass a motion after adequate research for some months in which I discovered that bitcoin talk is not a forum that focuses on only educating each other about bitcoin and other cryptocurrency but also a community that we discussed, which I am sure most of us in this forum spent more time here than in the physical society, so the motion I came with is that why can’t they create a section or board where health and other health-related issues can be discussed?
Because of the look of things, there are many challenges of health facing the world at large, so if a board is created where health issues can be discussed, I am sure those that are always in the forum can know some solutions to their health issues without even seeing a physician because not all health issues require a physical or doctor; some issues need counselling, so I will be glad if there is a board or section where health issues can be discussed. For instance, in gambling, politics and society, economics, and many others, discussions have been made, and with a health board, a better understanding of our health issues can be identified immediately.

 If the need to see a doctor is needed, you can go in time, so all suggestions are welcome.

Actually, most people engaging in smoking and drinking alcohol want to change their habit, but due to addiction, they can’t do it over a night; it takes time. So any one you see engaging in this act of smoking and drinking, you should encourage him or her to stop and give them facts about how it will be a great danger in their lives if they don’t stop the act of smoking and drinking alcohol, but not neglecting them in society, they will feel bad and continue. So whenever you are talking to someone in this act, know how to talk to them with respect and sincere empathy.Furthermore, the aspects of gambling Anyone who has a gambling habit is not wasting money but making money. Gambling is a game for only those who are lucky, because if you are lucky, the gain you will get annually will be a big profit, but if you are not lucky, I am sorry, my brother, you will lose massively. Be wise and make sure you don’t get addicted to it, because if you do, it will be a great challenge to your life, your family, and, at the same time, your society.


Mind you, smoking is not a personal decision but is caused most of the time by environmental and societal factors, which include peer group pressure, lack of care from parents, societal influence, depression, and so on. Most people find themselves smoking and drinking alcohol because of these factors. You can’t say that smoking is a personal decision when you are trying to bring about a new achievement, engage in research first; if not, you might bring some wrong facts. Let us be guided.Furthermore, investing in bitcoin is not compulsory but necessary, so it is wrong to tell someone how he or she should live their life but only encourage them to do positive things that will help them improve their health and lifestyle and also have a positive impact on society.

Actually, not all people engaged in this act usually do it for fun; they actually smoke and drink for fun, but for gambling, no one gambles for fun in Nigeria, bro, and those engaging in smoking are usually caused by some factors, which I have already listed above.So let me guide you. My only advice here is that all those involved in this act should be encouraged to stop it. It has no advantages but disadvantages, which include getting mad, early death, and many others.

Becoming rich is not all about financial stability; it comprises many things. Those who are not yet rich will think that being rich is all about financial stability. For me, if you can have access to money, health, food, and shelter, even though you don’t have a lot of cash in your account or wallet, you are rich.For instance, a rich man will have a lot of money in his account or wallet, but suffering from severe illnesses that will cost more than his wealth of almost all his properties makes him not a rich man but rather a poor man, because a poor man who has access to money and solves all his issues with adequate health care, then the poor man is richer than the rich man, so being rich is not just about financial stability but also comprises other factors.

All contributions and clarifications impact me a lot. I will use this medium to thank all those that provide me with more information that has been added to my own experience. Thank you all again, and I will also welcome any additional information to those that have already been stated to have more knowledge because knowledge is never too small for a researcher (like me).

As you can see, my rank in this forum is still low, so I am still researching to become a successful member of bitcoin and also in this forum. If you can read and understand my question, it is not that I don’t know that the seed phase and private key are kept in hardware for backup, but I want to know if you can write them on a piece of paper, then what is the use of a hardware wallet?

Even after a few days of study, there are still some concepts that I still don't fully understand and some that I find difficult to grasp. For that reason, I've chosen to submit such concepts here in order to receive additional clarity. As far as I can tell, your cryptocurrency is stored on the public ledger under a public key; your hardware wallet holds your private key, which is used to verify that you are the owner of the public key or wallet; and you set a password to secure your hardware wallet something that is easier to remember than a complete hash of your private key.

I find it confusing that when you create a hardware wallet, you are required to write down a 12-word "recovery phrase" in order to restore your wallet in the event that it is misplaced.
What makes this any different from simply leaving your wallet at home and writing down your private key on the same piece of paper? What use does a hardware wallet serve if you have to write down what is effectively your private key anyhow?

You are welcome to bitcointalk ones again. This is the right forum where you will understand many things about cryptocurrency and also bitcoin itself, as well as other aspects of bitcoin, including the technical aspects. As I can see from your write-up, you are ready to learn, and in this forum, many high-ranking members are always ready to teach and answer any of your questions. I will encourage you not to hesitate in asking questions because anyone who engages in research will never fail.

So far, I have seen that you have been provided with some links to learn and understand more, but I will also add up some links that will help you during your stay here in the forum. These links will be listed below.

Actually, I do gamble sometimes, but not frequently, so from my perspective, I will say gambling is not a career because a career simply means what you do to end a living, while gambling simply means a luck game for those who are lucky, so if you take gambling as a career, you are jumping in the very wrong direction. All I know is that gambling is just a lucky game, so when you are gambling and you discover the assessment of your gambling profile and find out that the loss is higher than the gain, I can say you should reduce your gambling activity because it might be you are not lucky and it might be you have not reached your lucky moment to win big.


To me, yes, because when I win a jackpot, I first of all withdraw all the money, do some of my needs, and bring some percentage back to the gambling site to continue another time. When you are so greedy, you will end up losing all that you have won, thinking to win more, which is wrong and not encouraging because you will end up losing what you won. At the same time, you invest another amount, thinking to win, and you will end up losing everything.

You noticed that scenario of losing before gaining because you do look up to those that are not lucky because gambling is a lucky game. Someone who is lucky can start gambling today and win big the same day, so if you have luck in gambling, you will love it and also get addicted because if you assess a lucky gambler's profile of winning and losing, you will find out the winning is 75% while the losing will be 25%. Believe me, if you are not lucky in gambling, you will just be losing, but if you are lucky, you will be winning. So what you have noticed is what usually happens to those who are not lucky.

I have a story of a friend of mine who used his tuition fees (school fees) to gamble. From his first risk, he won big and was able to pay the tuition fees, buy other school stuff, and continue to gamble. As I am saying in this story, now he has a car and some houses with gambling money. That is to show you if you are lucky, noting will be hard for you.

At first, from the topic of this thread, I was impressed, but seeing the content in the post, I can say you just created this thread for the sake of your own wish, because, based on my research so far in the forum, I have come across many threads that discuss more on how newbies and others can create quality posts. I am sorry to say, but your topic was like “How to make a quality post in the forum,” but you ended up bringing a low-quality post to confuse and discourage the newcomers in the forum.


All that you have mentioned here is just a low-quality post. Can you imagine chemistry in bitcoin and even biology sounding somehow But if I may ask the OP, where can I see a discussion on biology? I won’t say chemistry because, so far, I have never encountered a board in this forum that is discussing chemistry.


To me, what I know is that you can’t stay dumb (ignorant) and not understand anything about the forum if you have been engaging in research and also reading, because if you have enough time to read and understand, you will succeed, and other high-ranking members of the forum will help. So what I will say to the newbies and newcomers in the forum is to read, engage in research, and also ask questions because you can’t help anyone who is not ready to learn or the lazy ones, so let's read and do a good post to succeed in the forum.

That is why I always say you should not take bitcoin as a do-or-die affair. You shouldn’t take the risk that it will be very hard for you to talk less of borrowing money to invest in bitcoin, but the reason people usually end up borrowing is due to the Nigerian situation, in which I can say if the money you borrowed can be paid back yourself without any stress, then you are good to go because talking risk is just the definition of hustle. But mind you, even though you are taking the risk, take the risk that you can endure. Even though you lose, you will not end up broke or fall into suffering.
And again, they say that the higher the risk, the higher the gain, while the lower the risk, the lower the gain, which means when you are borrowing money to invest. You are embarking on a very high risk, and we don’t know what the result will be, so I will just advise you to say if you can take the risks, take them; it might be your success, but don’t take any risk just to prosper; you might fall or lose.

Yes, for sure. Is not that I am addicted to gambling, but I do gamble some times, most especially when I am broke. This case is in two forms in the sense that for the husband to win the game, the money will increase or even double, but as he loses, everyone will blame him. Actually, being addicted to gambling is a very bad idea because you will continue playing even though you are losing, hoping to get more gain, and some end up borrowing money just to gamble.
For me, I can say the only mistake the fiancée made was using almost all the money, hoping to win and bring back more money home. If the fiancée had budgeted what he would spend on gambling and kept on to it, the case might have been simple and amicable, but now he has messed up big time.

Based on your story, your parents are going through a lot. You see you achieve knowledge and also a degree certificate because they struggle to get money in order to send you to school to acquire knowledge, but you are trying to risk all their efforts. Are you been honest with them to think of such an idea? Based on the story, you are not the real owner of the money. Even though the money has been reserved for your studies, that doesn’t mean the money is yours, so thinking about risking it is not a good idea. Yes, we know the bitcoin price is rising every day, but I will like to remind you that bitcoin can’t be predicted; it can drop down within a certain period of time. I always emphasise this bitcoin proverb that says, “Invest what you can afford to lose,” and in this situation, you can’t afford to lose your education, so I don’t think this is a good idea.

For sure, I know that it is not that encouraging to keep money in the bank without interest for a long time, but in this situation, it is the best solution. This money is purposely generated for a purpose for which your education is important. I am repeating this sentence just because I have witnessed such a scenario from a friend, and he ended up dropping out of school. When his father learned about the reason his son was back home, he had a heart attack and died at a spot, so I will not encourage you not to use this money to invest but rather wait for the right time.

Hmm, this is an opportunity and also not an opportunity because there are two things here when thinking of any step in life: you have to look at the positive side and the negative side to compare which one is more important. The two things are that you are trying to risk your siblings, your family, and also your community reputation, and secondly, you are trying to invest and increase your financial status. If you could remember a great bitcoin proverb, “invest what you can afford to lose," which means if you can find a solution to repay that money even though you end up losing the money in bitcoin, then you are good to go, but if you know that this money will be hard for you to return, my brother, forget about investing more in bitcoin for now and find small amounts to start investing; it will be better than using that money that belongs to the burial of your father, and I can also say to you that if any of your family members hear about this thinking of yours, they will organise a meeting purposely because of you because we Nigerians have respect for our culture, norms, and tradition, and believe so, please, when taking a decision, you have to think wisely; if not, you will jump into a run conclusion.
