Exactly! People should realize that they've different 'graces' and on no account should anyone struggle to be like someone else. Long time ago, when Wole Soyinka (WS) was starting out to be famous for his plays someone addressed him as the William Shakespeare (WS) of Africa. He didn't find that funny and had to instantly correct the person. He believed both WSs weren't the same and should be treated differently even though both were playwrights and poets.

You wrote like an elder there. Apt! Quitters won't ever be winners.

Well, I think the "work hard" part on Bitcoin will be the positioning of oneself to get into it during a dip to enhance profit taking during a bull run. This is what we're faced with now for this incoming bull run. Those who aren't working hard now to leave something on the table (so to say, by hodling any bit of Bitcoin) are going to lose out when the real bull begins. Again, Bitcoin is a transformation. An investment in it has the ability of changing a poor situation.

Bitcoin conception as a payment option has really failed if we factor in what's happening now with the Blockchain congestion going on and the throat cut fees.

William Shakespeare illustrated that attitude is one of his famed plays – Macbeth– where he said there was no art of finding the mind's construction on the face. It was the same Macbeth whom King Duncan trusted so much that assassinated him while playing host to the king. Humans (I use it loosely here because I know there are a few good men) can't be fully trusted.

It's this entitlement mentality that's destroying a lot of youths who believe that someone somewhere owns them help. They think because someone earns more than them or is rich by their estimation they should become parasitic to. If it were that easy, shouldn't they too be making their own money and helping others too? Until people realize that the streets are tough and that no one owns anyone anything, they will awaken from their slumbers.

This scrutiny you mentioned on tx fee shouldn't even be only on exchanges, we ought to observe it with our private wallets. Recently, I made a transaction and chose a custom fee, didn't remember to ok it. It reverted to low priority or something  but I didn't know and I sent it. I realized my error as soon as the coin showed it had gone through and it was already late by then. The huge fee I paid hurt me for days. Imagine someone paying 3 Ordi ($150+) for a transaction they could do with less than a dollar.

I think the slammed $1m fine is a slap on the wrist. A stiffer fine should've sufficed. He's trying too hard to prove an identity he doesn't have and forgot the basic thing – just move one of the wallets believed to be owned by the maverick Satoshi Nakamoto, even if he can't or doesn't want to log in to this forum and everyone will throw out every doubt. CW is simply an unbelievable nitwit.

Finally, it's implemented. Theymos, you surprised everyone (well, maybe me) on this with your quick response. Also, thanks to user PowerGlove.

That's what makes us humans. We're insatiable by nature. If we don't complain, even when what's given seems the best, it simply makes life boring 😂

This may not be my forte but apart from the campaign thread getting more visibility if Bitcoin paying campaigns stay in the  dedicated section for it and altcoin campaigns less, I know there's no other advantage since participants can still post anywhere in the forum and their posts counted. I don't know of any other advantage it has from the lens of an outsider that I see it or is (are) there?

BTW, I know we had this similar issue here some years ago and the manager (I can't remember the user again) who was asked to move his thread to the altcoin bounty section refused, citing certain rules in the forum that backed him up and that was how the matter was relaxed. For me, I don't think it's a big deal whether it's set up in altcoin section or not, provided hunters know where to look for campaigns.

I don't know whether to conclude that the NFT market is coming back after it relapsed from its glory days. Are we likely to see a resurgence in price of NFTs in 2024 or they will just populate this industry without much economic viability? I've seen a lot of projects ask participants to mint NFTs just like so many are having airdrops now too and chains indulging memetokens and silently backing them. Maybe this is a pointer to what we should expect next year of where the most money will be earned. Airdrops or NFTs or Memes?

I haven't knowingly used bots. I don't like the idea of using such and it's the same thing with Ai. I'm traditional and old school. Leaving my trades to AI will keep me restless. I like to be the one in charge of executing my trades. We've seen scripts fail during unpredictable market circumstances. Scripts are written by humans the same way Ais are too. Again, most exchanges frown at the use of bots and Ais on their exchanges. So, to those ones, using Ais on such exchanges is an infringement. You wouldn't want to infuriate a rule, would you?

I be Omo Igbo, aje okuta ma mu omi confirmed 😏. It's in my moniker. I should've taken the Yoruba speaking and writing thing seriously while growing up. I regret somehow I didn't. Though I can speak it, not fluently the way I want. The thing is that I grow up in Lasgidi before I relocated to Panya now. I love languages.

BTW, I don't think anyone should be doing tribal stuff here. Here's an anonymous forum. We're all Nigerians! That was why I contributed to that thread when I did. If I could speak German, I would also be contributing in their thread.

I'm in support of what OP is advocating. I guess this same thought has been expressed somewhere in the forum but in different guise. Creating a "Thank You" or "Like" feature shouldn't be a problem for theymos or any of the creatives we've here with theymos' permission. Sometimes we have the need to thank a user for their meaningful contributions to us but lack the equivalent of such expression in merit. We don't always have merit to express such gratitude and a feature like that should be fine to do that job.

Everything now depends on BestChange. The ball is in their court and we wait for a consensus on payment – whether address change to SegWit, Bi-weekly/monthly payment or LTC/Tether option, I'm all embracing of whatever is finalized.

BestChange, kick the ball.

Na true talk be dat. Make I use dis ur proverb remind all of us sey now na dat time not to stand one place and dey wish sey Bitcoin increase in price. Make we use dis opportunity to also keep som Bitcoin aside. Dis coming bull season go dey crazy. If ur power fit carry am, make you find som credible alts too put som cash for dem head. Nor too lavish cash dis period. Na future we dey look so, nor be immediate gratification.

I greet all man. One luv 😘.

No, dat wan nor qualify as burst posting sef. Na just repetitive posting. If we talk about burst posting, e get orda conditions wey dem dey consider apart from timing. Make we just leave am here.

Agbe, you try to alert dat owa guy and I believe sey im don correct himself. Everything don stew na. E go good make you lock dis place up and carry key give Santa Claus.

Hallelujah! Did I hear someone say Amen to that? It's not even a bad idea. It will be celebratory. Now that you've put it out, BestChange in their wisdom may want to consider that 😏

Yes, it's only for two weeks; not four weeks. Except BestChange is referring to transactions that aren't related to our campaign here.

Thanks BestChange for processing payment on time and compliments of the season to you and the rest of my colleagues. Again, thanks for the bonus. It surely will put a big 🐔 in my stew this period.

Ok, now the gist. I checked the Tx ID and found that you spent 0.01605994 BTC which is an equivalent of $687.58 on fees to send out the week's payment? Am I correct on this or I'm looking at a different data? If that's the case, it's some crazy fee there. Can't we find an alternative to payment like LTC or any stablecoin till this whole blockchain congestion thing clears up?

This isn't to derail the issue being discussed here by any means. However, it occurred to me as birthed by OP's line of question just now that sooner than later someone will come up with an idea of how this forum should copy that sister forum mixer campaigns are moving to and ask admin (theymos) to let members who bring others to the forum invite them through their referral links. Just watch and see.

For me, I don't even calculate the X thing. I rely on price action to decipher if there's an incoming price correction on a higher timeframe and then either take everything off the table or just take out my capital and leave a moon bag in anticipation of further mooning. At the moment, in this bull run, I check the current ATHs of the alts I'm hodling once they start rising. I'm of the opinion that the least any viable alt can do is level up on its current ATH. Otherwise, I'm hopeful they should surpass their current ATHs.

Why not gather the meagre amount like the $5 & $10 you mentioned weekly and then buy once a month to save tx fee. Don't be amazed that anyone who's buying in bits now will have a better part of their funds eaten up by fees. It's a crazy moment the Bitcoin community has found itself. In furtherance, anyone buying meagerly shouldn't expect to reap much during the bull run. So, one has to take an appreciable level of risk to earn well now with Bitcoin. Gone are the days when Bitcoin did stupendous ROI on meagre investments.

Scam and hacks don't only affect cryptos. They affect every aspect of investment, provided there's money to be made there. It's just that crypto scam and hacks are more prevalent and reported in bull seasons than in the bear moment.

I don't think that advice is ripe at this time. Now is a good time to concentrate on crypto investment. Maybe after the bull rally, investors can look in the direction of what you mentioned.

Yes, hacks happen but in most cases it's with the connivance of the victims who are likely to ignorantly give out vital information leading to the vulnerability of their wallets. For instance, we shouldn't be clicking on every link or extensions we get sent to. If one must get involved in airdrops, one should get a burner wallet for it. Don't expose any wallet you've a substantial amount of coins in by using it for airdrop.
