You can like sport betting and know how to analyse, you can play dice and believe in luck and still think you are professional enough but not, you can try other ways of gambling like playing poker and win today thinking you are a professional, but if today is good, that does not mean tomorrow can be. There are many people that will just think that way and depends only on gambling, these kind of people will have money today and leave poor later. They may later have issue with their wife leaving them and their life becoming miserable. Any good gambler you see out there only depend on luck, they were just lucky to hit the jackpot. Nothing like professional gamblers, the more people see it as profession, the more they lose. But the more someone see it as fun, using low amount of money to for it, there can be a day he will win jackpot. Many people will gamble but out of 100, less than one will be the ones that truly make it from gambling actually, and that because they do not see gambling reliable but as luck.

When I was an active gambler, I did noticed one thing, if I first started to gamble anytime I got money, I do gain a lot, but if I continue to gamble, I will later lose the gain and also later lose the whole money, including the one I first start gambling with. That made me known that gambling is very risky and discipline is very important, else, it can lead to losses. Anytime we gain, we should just stop to gamble, but many people will want to gain the more, but later lose more than they can think. We should build good risk management, but not only that, we should also build good mind set and discipline. And lastly, gambling should be for fun to make us have all these qualities..

Gambling is completely different from trading, it is trading that have the feature of stop loss and take profit, it is just a concept used by traders to minimize risks, especially when they are not looking or watching the market. But in gambling, nothing like that, if you have a prematch game, you can not use such, also if you have online game, what is similar to it is to cash out, but it will not work out good many times. Assuming in online game, you bet for 1.2 odds with $50, if the team you take is losing already, what you can cash out could have reduced to $5.

Having a quality mindset and risk management plan is the best like you have once commented. If someone has lost in gambling, he should just stop betting for poor mindset not to set in at the time that can bring more losses. And if we win, we should just still stop betting because the more we bet the more the chances of losing.

FA cup can be surprising as weak team will want to perform if compared to premier league but West Ham is not a weak team either. There may be just little goals in Man United vs West Ham FA match. For Man City, the goals will likely be many.

Everybody na Jesus boy na. No way to holiness than serving Jesus na. How you know African queen porn pages? Me never hear that before oh.

E go get reason theymos never give us local board, as we dey increase the activity for here, and for other Nigeria matter, the chances they increase. theymos will later consider wetin we dey ask.

How you know? 

I do not have to read all about your post before I will tell you taking a loan is not necessary. But if you think you can gain from it, you can try but you can expect gain and lose, this will make it difficult for you. I will advice you not to take a loan. The bitcoin market and crypto market generally are volatility, loan is not recommended for it.

While making professional trading, only oscillators can not do it but it can actually help while trading, oscillators help traders to know if to enter a market or not, it tells if the traders should enter in short time or long time. If for example, the market has increased, many people will fomo, but using oscillator Indicators can still determine if you should still enter a market, but in a short time or if you should not even try to enter market for price will begin to fall already. But during a long fall, oscillators will indicate a time to buy for long till certain price is reached. You can combine it will other indicators like

1. Relative moving average for shourt term purpose
2. Exponential moving avarage to predict long term
3. Bollinger bands that consist of three important lines

One of the best and most common oscillator is relative strength index, oscillatory momentum is also a good one.

While trading, you still need to be very careful, read news for fundamental analysis and also know that indicators can fail at times.

The Nigerian local thread as being active since, maybe theymos do not check local board for other languages often, we suppose to have requested for that at first, but we see it not needed because the two Nigeria threads (Nigerian Bitcointalk Community Hangout and African Proverbs in Pidgin) are the ones constantly on the top list after the pinned local threads. And we think now that is high time to have a local board because of he increase activities we have on Nigeria local threads. We wish theymos to listen to request and Grant us one.

If you want to make use of any noncustodial wallet that support ripple, you will need to have 20 ripple in the ripple wallet, it is called ripple reserve, it will be there in the wallet forever, you will not be able to transfer it to any other wallet. This is just the norm of a centralized coin called ripple while such can not be implemented on decentralized coin like bitcoin.

You are right by your comment, local board is a means of providing means many people from your country can get access to more information online from posting activities in local board. But if we check this from another angle, local board does not suppose to necessarily mean posting in local languages. Let me make an example, central bank of Nigeria ban cryptocurrencies now, local board will be a good board for Nigerians to discuss what they can do in a way they can bypass the central bank of Nigeria and yet still making use of cryptocurrencies and fiat together, we know p2p is the next in line but they will be able to discuss the best p2p to be used in Nigeria or which are best in Nigeria at this time on their local baord. It can be in English or Pigin like they said, but the information discussion in their local baord will be able to become more accessible to people broswing from Nigeria.

No be only on source dey cause the low merit activity for our local thread, if to say we don get local board na, you go see how posts and activities for our side go increase, quality topics and posts go dey, this go make our board more active than before. Na waiting go make the merit increase. Make we dey hope for better tomorrow as some other Nigerians go apply for merit source, na guess oh but waiting I believe go later happen.

The central bank of Nigerian do not know much about cryptocurrencies, they also do not have experienced people that can explain about cryptocurrencies to them. They refered to cryptocurrencies as anonymous, supoorting terrorism and money laundering, while it is very clear that the so called Boko Haram they are dealing with are using fiat to sponsor themselves, the fiat which is hold by the Nigerian banks. When they could not know what cryptocurrencies actually are, they made the bad and wrong decision that will get the country more behind.

Check this forum very well, there are best post qualities always. Have you ever since meaningful bitcoin forum like bitcointalk? If there is, still can never be compared.

That is why bitcointalk is now having over 3 million users. The merit system helps to reduce shit posters, unlike 2017 as I heard where a single person will have 10 accounts. The more the account leading to shitposting.

I do not think you are needed. You are not theymos, not any of the staff, not Loyce V not any of the best members. You can be the one that needs this forum, not this forum that needs you.

You are just one of the beginners that underestimate bitcoin, if you look on how bitcoin is designed, it will later hit $1 million in the future, it will later be the world digital gold. Bitcoin is deflationary and also people are getting to know about it. Like me I have already been holding bitcoin, so I will not escape the gain to make before it got to such price if it will be early.

This supposed to be in scam accusation board, or to help beginners in beginners and help board, but the right board for it is the scam accusation. You can just move down the thread and click on move topic, moving it to the right board.

I do not also have to take a look at the website, one of the ways to know scam sites are typo errors and other related errors in the ways of writing. Also because the site is new, they are 100% scam, never visit the site or you will be scammed.

I so much read about ChainLink, a coin that worth nothing before, it's price increase from less than $4 last year to more than $25 this year. This has been a great increase, I had to study about the coin, but I later found out that 80% of the coin is controlled by 125 wallets, this is so surprising to me, the coin can easily be manipulated. There are many of such cryptocurrencies out there, why we need to be careful of altcoins.

Having our bitcoin and crypto on noncustodial wallets has been the best, we have the key and we have the coins, unlike using custodial exchanges which can lead to our account frozen or blocked, because the companies providing such service are the one in control while the exchanges can be hacked. Banks can be safer to keep money, but we should know that African banks like Nigerian banks are not safer, not because our money can be stolen but because of high rate of fiat devaluation in the country. Worth of $1000 in Naira in 10 years will likely devalued to $100, if such can happen, we are not just safe, naira is just a deflationary money.

That aside, from a friend of mine while in school and also from my sister last year, without leaking the pin and the long ATM card number, their bank account were hacked, my sister is very sensitive, I believe the fault is not from her side, but a country where sim swap can happen, also bank worker can become the attackers, which likely means that the hack was from the bank, banks are not that safe as we think, neither were custodial exchanges. We are safe until we have our private keys.

The best we can have is to have our private key with us, and control our funds, what Nigeria government are now try to make difficult for us, the main fault are from the Nigerian government/CBN. Binance did not freeze our funds and we can trader it to noncustodial wallets, but Nigerian banks are the ones making our lives miserable because our bank account linked to crypto exchanges will be blocked, no freedom but authoritarian set of leaders.

Yes, I have read online about freezing of accounts due to coinjoin, here is another one posted above, I have heard several ccases of this and thinking to use mixers.

Using a mixer will be the best on my side, thank you all for your guidance.

Your comment is totally inaccurate, the best to do is to get yourself a noncustodial wallet for investment. For small amount like the one above, online wallet can be good but for high amount, hardware wallet will be safer. Not you key not your coin is the saying, you can not also even use PayPal to send crypto to another wallet, you can only use it to buy and sell.
