581  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has Bitcoin Deviated from The Vision of Satoshi? on: January 02, 2024, 11:16:58 PM
Look at the Bitcoin whitepaper once more: a peer-to-peer electronic payment system indeed. Was Satoshi really envisioning a payment system so widespread that it became a preferred way of paying for goods and services? What's happening today? Bitcoin is now more of an investment than a payment tool. In fact, it's as if all the cryptocurrencies are businesses for their inventors, bar Satoshi—a means of becoming automatic millionaires rather than a peer-to-peer payment system. In fact, the quickest way to get rich these days seems to be by starting a crypto project.

Not even the guy that started Bitcoin Satoshi Vision is exempted.

Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer payment system? Nah... more of a decentralized speculative investment platform.

Bitcoin is valuable because it has all the essential properties of paper money: acceptability, divisibility, durability, fungibility (interchangeability), portability, and scarcity.

Bitcoin did not deviate at all.So long as its popularity increased,exposure and indulgence has a positive impact globally,its here to stay.
It's a decentralized currency,a peer-to -version of electronic cash and that's it

There has always been a huge difference in the pay scale between the white collar jobs and blue collar or skilled labor wherein the later one put in more effort physically and do more hardwork than the earlier one.

Should there be market correction done for skilled labors?

Some will say that an white collar employee is more mentally drained out hence they deserve better pay but people who do menial job stop working the world will just rot as everything cannot be done but robots and AI.

It's sometimes sad to see how they are treated disrespectfully, be it a waiter, delivery workers, cab drivers, carpenter, or construction workers as they are the pillars and without them things will start falling apart. I know some of these can be automated but not everything.

Employers could be treated or paid differently based on their religion,age,race or ethnicity.Employers must be paid equally if they're doing substantially everything required of them from the company or employer.
 
 Pay discrimination can occur as a result of mismanagement of funds from employers,or inadequate required performance task.Equality an impartiality should always be at the back of our minds.So long as they are part of the leading roles that contributed to the companys growth.
Old of young should be treated equally.

583  Economy / Economics / Re: New business idea. on: January 02, 2024, 09:42:24 PM
I would have posted this thread on my local board (Nigerian local board) but I didn't because both Nigerians and other countries can still benefit from this little business idea.
The kind of business I want to share is what is called graundnut oil making. This business idea can help someone that doesn't even have a skill and someone that is not even educated, all the person just needs to have is the money to buy the manufacturing equipment that's all.
With this graundnut oil making business, one can get the kind of life he/she wanted because the demands in this graundnut oil making business are a bit high. One can even start with a little money. However, this business is also an investment. If one can dedicate more time to it, he/she can benefit from it (can make it a company).

this information shows how the demands of the graundnut oil is in my country today is.
You can also watch a little on how to manufacture the graundnut oil, I can even invest more if I have this business and start making more money, so what are your takes in this idea?
  Agriculture impacts society in many ways, including: supporting livelihoods through food, habitat, and jobs; providing raw materials for food and other products.
Groundnut oil production business is a profitable one to startup,its health benefits and packed nutrients makes its demand high in Nigeria and Africa continent.
 Ensure that you have conducted a proper research over the business you intend to start,considering the pitfalls and hazards involved in the business sector.

Since the creation of bitcoin in 2009,cryptocurrencies have exploded in popularity,it has been the most dominating crypto for over a decade and I don't see it stopping anytime soon.It is the most promising investment opportunity of our time,and has rapidly transformed various aspects of the global economy like no other.

 Bitcoin is currently the world's most prominent crypto,recognized and accepted by many in finances,manufacturing,real estate,travel and retail.
 I'm going to reconsider bitcoin over and over again,I'm going to start my journey and I'm going to start with bitcoin.
   Bitcoin is the change!
   Bitcoin cannot be stopped!!
   Bitcoin is the future!!!
585  Economy / Economics / Re: How to gain money on: January 02, 2024, 08:09:35 PM
Without:
Charity, begging, illegal, stocks, trading.
Get an online skill or handwork.
There are so many skills and handwork that you can learn to gain or make more money;it could be handwork or a digital skill.

Handwork comprises of physical engagement to provide services to people that are in need of your services.They are jobs you perform with your hands with applied knowledge to solve problems.They include;
 _Photography
 _Hairstyling
 _Barbing
 _Fashion design
 _Catering services
 _Nails and lashes fixing
 _Crochet making and many more.

You can enroll online or even attend classes nearby in your desired location.Having a skill makes an individual to be self employed,independent and access to financial freedom.Someone can have control over themselves and income, by offering specialized services to people.It can be your career or your primary source of income,but it serves as a better option most of the times.
 Although it requires a lot of dedication and consistency to master but whatever is worthdoing is worthdoing well.
586  Economy / Economics / Re: Retirement Age for Workers - Does this Make Sense? on: January 02, 2024, 05:21:55 PM
The normal retirement age is between 65 or 66 for most people.This age range for me seems to be too old  for someone to retire.Maybe the retirement should fall a few years earlier.

Retirement age for workers;for me,the important thing is,to retire,you need income coming in every month that equals or exceeds your living expenses forever.
  However,your desired lifestyle after retirement or in retirement should be considered greatly.So that you can enjoy your retirement life comfortably without stress.Depending on your financial status,feel free to retire at any age....
  What matters most is that you are financially prepared to answer to unforseen circumstances,emergencies and life's uncertainties.You need not to worry about the retirement age,the fact that you are financially guided will increase of security and your peace of mind.

Being financially buoyant in marriage will even create an aura or atmosphere for a blissful marital union
 
Financial stability before marriage is absolutely required,it's a crucial factor to consider as having a stable income can provide peace of
Mind and security.

You have great list of the decentralized exchanges there. Hope you keep it up on your list. I think decentralized exchanges are going to be the future of exchange for cryto currencies.


Yes!!!! So many decentralized exchange to study
Decentralized and centralized exchanges have their unique advantage and disadvantages.
 So many Decentralized users have control over their funds,they do not require KYC-know your customer service and they're available 24/7.
589  Economy / Economics / Re: Business failure among small-scale entrepreneurs on: January 01, 2024, 04:41:30 PM
In addition to everyone's contribution,I think there's a need to consider your business location including visibility,nearby competition and even customer's convenience,the image you want to create or project and your budget should be laid into consideration.

 It's not easy to start a business and switch locations in a short period of time.So a bad location choice can be a business crasher at large.its okay to be aware of the common hazards involved and try to avoid them.

All these reasons we've listed here  for the failure of a business can be addressed if you identify which ones affects us in one way or the other and create a plan for removing them so we can have a convenient and satisfactory business experience.

Bitcoin is not a charity organization that runs poverty alleviation projects/programs.Its existence is to transform various aspects of the global economy which will generally improve the standard of living and wellbeing of people.Meanwhile, it facilitates the economic system of a country,it improves the financial technology of the country by promoting transaction transparency without being altered or manipulated or even interference from banks.

One needs to be logically and analytically guided before investing.

Just so you don't miss out on tracks,or you seek for assistance/mentorship from certified or knowlegable personnels.We've all learnt from this;it's a good thing we can all learn and gain advice from our teammates...let's be guided in 2024.

Cryptocurrencies have come a long way since the early days of Bitcoin and we are the early adopters of this remarkable technology.  But still the mass hasn't adopted blockchain technology or Cryptocurrencies. So, As you think, How can we bridge the gap between mainstream adoption and the complexities of blockchain technology? Share your thoughts on making crypto more accessible to the general public


The education level should be emphasized on;that is breaking down the complex sectors,ideas and benefits of adoption.
 It's not just an investment factor,but Also a currency that puts us in charge against fait fears and insecurities.Let's show the masses the opportunities that bitcoin has to offer people in contrast to fait.

It is accessible and can be used to purchase goods and services anywhere,transaction transparency is also a good feature that needs to be fully considered.

How do you strategically navigate hyperinflation to safeguard your financial well-being?

Would you invest on crypto, stocks or household when the cash is not the king?

We should have other alternatives like real estate or even having a skill not just investing in cryptocurrencies.

Having a budget and sticking to it is also satisfiable;it will keep your spending in order.Hyperinflation can be frustrating,so one needs to
Prepare before hand.
594  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another year is going to end. Bitcoin isn't dead on: December 31, 2023, 08:42:41 PM

A chart means more than any word or long paragraph so let's firstly dive into above chart which was graphed by Jameson Lopp.

He made it with input data from Bitcoin Obituaries.

This summary chart presents a fact that less people wanted to call "Bitcoin is dead" with time. It is an unofficial recognition for survival of Bitcoin.

There is another website for "Bitcoin is dead" chart is Buybitcoinworldwide.com but the team behind it stopped updating the chart recent months.

The future is bright for every bitcoin user.So many researchers have made their conclusions and predictions about bitcoin,
But none of it seeemm to be true.

The acceptance and mass adoption of bitcoin may not be satisfactory because education and awareness has not been completely understood by people.Awareness should be made important as it is fundamental in promoting the adoption and also help to alleviate the misconceptions about cryptourrencies.
 
Bitcoin is the future,it is happening and people will have no choice but to embrace it!!

For those working for government or an entity, try  to  start a small business and grow it gradually while still doing your 9am- 5pm job.

We might not feel the importance of it until we have been lay off from the job.
I have a question for those working for an entity or government, if you are being sacked today, what will be your faith? Will you still be financially strong, can your other sources of income keeps you going or you will be devastated by the loss of your job.

In this current economy, it's suicidal to have only one source of income.
If you must live well you must be ready to grab the bull by his horn am make life changing decisions by having more than one source of income.
Don't put your financial destiny in the hands of your bosses, you might not know the importance of having your own business till you have been sacked. think about it.

There's an urgency to alleviate the mindset of being an employee without any form of financial backup.So many person's have been victimized and laid off from their jobs unexpectedly which has lead to depression,anxiety and even death.

Presently,everyone wants financial security,but unfortunately,we ought to know that no job will give us 100% satisfaction.Warren buffet once said we should "Never depend on single income,make investment to create a second source".
I think we should save aggressively,invest wisely,work your strength to achieve your long term financial goals while your still an employee
596  Economy / Economics / Re: Learn to use DEBT in a proper way to create asset on: December 29, 2023, 09:23:55 AM
When you take debt, you should pay the debt from the loan taken and the only way you can do that is to make money out of that debt. A debt should only be taken to invest. This sounds easy to say but it's very hard. Especially for those who have an opportunity to take loans easily. It requires a lot of discipline to not borrow money when you need money for consumption.
I feel the only time we should borrow money for consumption is for health emergencies and life and death issues.
But as someone who works and make money, you should have planned for emergencies like that

When you get comfortable with taking debt for consumption, it becomes very easy to fall really deep into debt  and that can make you not to make any money because all your money would go to paying off debt
597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 29, 2023, 08:59:24 AM
I will disagree with that statement that They d not have stars, I think they do have stars but it is not a star studded team like the Bayern Munich team. The likes of  Xhaka are stars, Florian Writz is also a star already since his breakthrough last season and that’s why his Markets value is growing higher everyday. Also in the Bundesliga, Jonas Hoffman is a star too. This guy joined with the others have been the back bone of the team. Also at the defense i nearly forgot about Jonathan TAH who is also a rock solid defender for both club and country.

There is no star in Leverkusen. They're mostly just potential players.
Even Florian Writz who is their best player to me is not a star. He may be a star in the team, but he's not a star in world football.
A star player to me is a world class player that has proved himself in over 3 years. Writz can go to another team and not be a star despite how he has been good at Leverkusen.
Xhaka was at Arsenal for a long time but he was never world class, he not still among the top 10 players in his position in the world so how is he a star? There would be teams where he won't be among the first 11.
So it's safe to say there are no proven star players in Leverkusen, even their coach is not a star coach.

The continuity for the Manchester United squad continues and it seems that there are several parties who regret De Gea's departure. He is an experienced goalkeeper and Manchester United should not let him leave, even though his heart is still at Old Trafford. But unfortunately the new Dutch coach destroyed him and preferred Onana even at a high cost. Don't know what Manchester United's fate will be next and maybe they will be worse off this season if they continue to rely on Onana.

De Gea was a good goal keeper for United, he saved United in so many occasions. He was even the best Manchester United player for two seasons but I'm very certain Manchester United would still be were they are if they had De Gea in their post this season.
Onana may be bad, which is not a fact, but what I know for a fact is that he's not the reason for what Manchester United are going through.
The Manchester United team is just bad to an extent that the best keeper in the world won't be able to help them. Manchester United concedes so many shot and when that happens they concedes goals.
The defense start from the attack. Manchester United's attack, midfield and defense is average so what magic do you want the goal keeper to do?
599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 29, 2023, 08:24:47 AM
In terms of quality and performance, Sassuolo in the last few matches is not very impressive, but Sassuolo has a good record when facing AC Milan at the San Siro, in the last 3 matches when Sassuolo visited the San Siro they managed to win, so this should be a reference and motivation for Sassuolo to be able to do the same thing.
And on the other hand, AC Milan is also often inconsistent, so I think this weekend's match will be very difficult for AC Milan to win.

Sassoulo only had a few good matches against some big Italian teams and they ended up takeing three points from Inter and Juventus each, who are the top 2 teams in the league. They've lost the rest. The one they should have won was against Roma but they got a red card and everything went against them after that.
The surprising thing is that they play better again bigger teams because against mid table teams they always lose.
That being said, I don't think they'll win against Milan. Milan may be inconsistent and the history is not in their favor, but I just feel they'll win this match.

I agree that West Ham is in great shape as they don't lose patience. Seriously, in this game it was all about resisting and giving Arsenal a hard time to get closer to the box in a good position. Arsenal had so many chances, but hardly any of those chances were huge. That's what West Ham made sure to protect themselves from conceding quick and easy goals. Of course at the end of the day there was also some luck involved. Otherwise you can't win a game that is essentially a game with only one direction. But really if that penalty was scored, what a tough total would that have been? 0-3? Wow, but doesn't matter. West Ham is on a good run!

I don't care the kind of form West Ham is in this is a match Arsenal should have won. They messed up by losing this match to West Ham. They were at home and they had the advantage. Is West in a better form than Arsenal?
This is just what Arsenal do, they always bottle their opportunities. They were supposed to win the league the year Leicester won it, they were supposed to win the league last season but they messed up and allowed Man City win it, now they've lost and giving either Liverpool or Manchester City a chance to win the league again.
Now Manchester City has an outstanding match, if they win that match they'll be second and top Arsenal with goals.
