581  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Central Bank of Nigeria Cutting Ties with Crypto instead of Regulating on: December 07, 2023, 01:20:37 PM
I came across this discussion online and I decided to bring it here, in the discussion Adedeji Owonbi a crypto masterclass, Adedeji was making a speech and he said central bank of Nigeria should have created a friendly relationship and regulation strategy of blockchain in 2021 instead of cutting ties between cryptocurrency exchange firms and local bank.
In the discussion he also stated that Nigeria is considered to be 90% with crypto awareness in the world, Nigeria would have gone beyound the 90% from my observation most Nigerians would have loved to own bitcoin and other crypto cause it's a modern technology and a decentralize currency.

Nigeria is not the only government that has been hard on bitcoin and cryptocurrency adoption, the worst they can do now is to avoid the banks from making any related payment associated to crypto but they can't stop the bitcoin network or it's continued adoption globally, why this is so is because bitcoin has a particular target it's providing a solution to and the people have realized that they needed such impact and influence from bitcoin, with time, Nigerian government together with other countries will soon have nothing than to embrace bitcoin adoption when the time comes.

Contrarily I don't agree that you have to be rich before you can gamble or better still staying Lucky minded been a guarantee for gambling. Most times it takes less than all these to become a gambler , I think having the knowledge of the game is paramount before you start gambling.

Yes, that's true, being rich is only a show of how influential you're in financial terms, but you cannot make a stand to wether you're going to win a bet on not when gambling, everyone is thesame both the rich and those that are not, I've seen many rich folks gambling and loosing their stake for nothing because they either made a mistake or aren't good at it, while you could discover someone who is not rich gambling and winning because he understands the tactics needed.
584  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is the only currency that has grown the most!! on: December 06, 2023, 03:32:41 PM
Present, there are many altcoins in the crypto market and they have grown a lot. But it has gone down and gone again, but Bitcoin is the only currency that hasn't gone down yet, instead it's going up. I've noticed that Bitcoin has grown the most over the past couple of days, but altcoins haven't grown as much in comparison. Currently, we see Bitcoin market above $44000, I think it will bring $45000 very soon. Will Bitcoin Touch $50,000 By This December?  What do you think about the way the Bitcoin market is currently growing?

There are many currencies that have been showing interest in coming along way far as bitcoin had been but yet they can't withstand the relevance of what bitcoin has always served, in terms of performance, there are alot of them thst have a market price performance in recent times better than bitcoin but they are not reliable and cannot be trusted the way bitcoin had always been, we know this truth for the sake of the experience crypto users that bitcoin is the only most reliable digital currency, which also have proven years of consistencies and trust.
585  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: New here and wants to make some money on: December 06, 2023, 03:00:57 PM
Hello everyone,

I'm totally new and I don't have a steady source of income so I'm looking for some help, nice to meet you all 😊
The truth is that you can have a steady source of income here, because every project that runs in the forum won't last forever. If you want to have  a steady source of income is either you look for a job or get a business that can fetch steady profits. I will also tell you that investing or trading won't give you a steady income,  this is not something you need to depend on as beginner. The best thing you can do if you want a steady source of income is to get a job, then you can also get a side hustle that can also be as a support.
Agree with you, forum activities cannot be used as permanent income because there is no guarantee that the forum can be accessed forever. Likewise, with projects that are still ongoing on the forum, there will come a time when the project will be closed. Forums can earn money through some of the services available, but are only suitable as a side job. Whatever the motivation for joining here, it is very unreasonable to expect a steady income from the forum.


If we are to remind ourselves well about the intention for the creation of this forum, it was not for the purpose of making money, it was for everyone who is a bitcoiner to have an avenue of making discussions together, even the altcoins section allowed was not part of the mandate here, but they are to serve as a compliment in making the forum full of fun to be with, including the every enabled means of making money through signature campaign, you could get that confirmation in knowing through that no signature campaign is for life, they all come and go no matter how long they stay.

What are Address Poisoning Scams?
Metamask: Address Poisoning Scam

It is not limited to web3, smart contracts but with Bitcoin and Bitcoin addresses too. With Bitcoin, it is called as Dust attack.
Dust Attack, what it is, why it is dangerous and how to prevent falling to it

People fall to this type of attack because they use one wallet for many tasks. They must do it more safely, like a main wallet is not used for exploration of new platforms, new projects. Explorations must be done with a new wallet and small one that will not cause them big issue with address poisoning scam attack or dust attack.


You're right, there have been several ways that bitcoin holders make series of mistakes through the use of their wallet, some don't even Know much about using a wallet not to talk on the ways they will make sure they avoid anything that has to do with wallet address poisoning, newbies should know that it's very important for them to learn about the security of their wallet, what is expected of them and what is not, we should also take in some security measures  make sure that we avoid every possible means of getting us under their attack, when we are aware of them, we will not fall for them, but when we are not conscious of them, they got on us and we becomes their victim of attack.
587  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Why do people think is a mistake to be Nigeria?? on: December 06, 2023, 01:55:06 PM
Because they were so irresponsible in making a decision on what may lead to he continued development of their entire career and life as whole, instead they are waiting on someone or the government to push them to the exact direction or in making the decision needed for thier lives, this is nothing than having a low self esteem, everyone all around the world could have that same reason, it's a pity to be born poor and it's one's fault to die been poor, we all have equal opportunity to survive through and make it in life if we never give up.
588  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: To chop no be small wahala for the country on: December 06, 2023, 01:26:23 PM
Many are finding it so difficult to earn a living due to the rate of increasing inflation in the country, things are just getting more complicated instead of getting better because there's no much avenue for some people to get opportunities in surviving through the economy hardships that's going on, we cannot conclude that this is only affecting our own country alone, other countries got affected too as well, but when we plan to have a sustainable alternative on our own for the sake of ourselves and the dependent family we have, we may not be really affected, we can also encourages farming for the settlement of the demands on food items.
589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: December 05, 2023, 02:35:00 PM

For this reason, self-control is needed so that we can control our awareness that winning is unusual, and we must appreciate it so that we can prevent losing again if we continue gambling. We don't need to chase win, especially since we already know that it could be dangerous for us because we could lose the money we have earned. By stopping gambling after winning, it means we can get something that many gamblers want, and we are among the lucky ones.

With self-control, we can remain aware that we are gambling with the aim of seeking entertainment, and when we get it, we must immediately stop gambling. And even when we can win, stopping gambling is the best decision we can make. We will not be able to beat the house, especially since we have taken a lot of money from the house, and we should be grateful to be able to win from the house.

Self-control stems from being disciplined. If you have a good upbringing, it will be much easier for you to limit yourself to the things that you need to do, want to do, and shouldn't do. Boundaries makes a whole lot of difference when you are gambling. This is why if you don't possess good character and discipline, you must think twice before entering the gambling industry because it isn't for the weak. If you will be easily swayed by enticing promotions, campaigns, and winning prizes, the chances of you losing is hogh because you might do things that are beyond your capability. So as much as possible, practice good gambling habits and do not play in an aggressive manner.

Very accurate, a disciplined gambler will know how to rightfully engage the manner of self-control, some gamblers actually knows how to maintain their limits in every of the gambling activities they are doing because they understand the need to, they also have plans on how they gamble, when they gamble and does things accordingly without being corrected before doing the right things, this is how it should appear thesame way with every gambler, we should gamble with care and must not get carried away by any means of distractions while gambling.
590  Economy / Speculation / Re: Warming warning of the BTC, ETH & the LTC Cryptos upcoming halving on: December 05, 2023, 02:07:51 PM
In every decision we are making towards our investment on either bitcoin or any other altcoins that may follow, we shouldn't forget that halving is always orchestrated by a season of highly volatile pattern of market price and there will always be a major event to mark the halving seeing either the worst performing currency or the most best performing digital currency, the failed currency as well as scam or bankrupt projects all during the halving, we should be always getting ready for anything to happen for good or worse under the kind of investment we made on digital currencies.
591  Economy / Economics / Re: Banks are the cause of millions of crypto project failures on: December 05, 2023, 01:33:03 PM
The saddest part is that banks are not providing any services to list cryptocurrency projects on centralized exchanges, For which banks can issue new loans as well as create their own exchanges, These loans can help many failed projects, pump and dump tokens to list on cryptocurrency exchanges, For which no verification is required and people remain anonymous, Because banks can take their share in the form of tokens while issuing loans,  the share portion can be equivalent to the loans they issue to such projects along with this to help them to get listed on exchanges, banks can support economies by providing liquidity to such projects by continuously issuing loans too.

Don't let's assume that banks are tge cause of many failed crypto projects, there are billionaires Investors among them who also move in money to make an Investment in them, if some of them get money from banks i think that's strictly for making business, the banks may be less concerned on what project they are embarking as well, just as you can also use your own reputation to get loan from the bank to engage doing any business of your choice, some projects developers are scammers right from time and were only taking the avenue for a new crypto launch to raise funds and pump the market then leave everything vulnerable all of a sudden.

Let me tell you this in case you don't know, things don't just happened like that without having a reason behind it, now you're so worried of their non challant attitude to you, yet you're not busy concerned about what may be the reason for taking such actions altogether on you, but for someone like me, i will first suggest you look into these possible reasons and make research on them.

1.  You might have offend them unknowingly to you
2. Your account might be once hacked and they ignored the scammer
3.  They might have heard something wrong about you they are displease with and acted upon
4. Try reachout to other people and check for the same reason if it continues that people keep ignoring you
5. If you're less important to some people, they try to ignore you, things might have changed very much from how you left them.
593  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: House rents frustrating while solutions are ignored on: December 05, 2023, 11:36:50 AM
Solution opinion to the situation
The government could play and help minimize this hiking rents issues simply my issuing mandatory orders on every landlords and give them a specific range of charges they are expected to rent their house and anyone violating the rules must be penalized and every landlords must issues rentage receipts to every of its tenants because the amount stated in the receipt would be used to justify any of the reported landlords if overcharging their house occupants and there should be an active functioning phone number that is to be reached and report any forms of the landlords.

This is not the solution to this kind of challenges, firstly i don't think house rent is that unaffordable in Nigeria to that extent except you don't go for your size, this also depends on the kind of location or city you are, even in advance countries, there's no uniformity in house rent pay rate, the only exception are the ones under the government schemes, but each individual has the right to place any amount he feels comfortable with for his rent charges, the landlords built their houses themselves and not the government, so they can make demands on any rate they feel satisfied with.
594  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: December 04, 2023, 08:51:43 PM
It's only an irresponsible gambler that will go ahead in taking money for loan to gamble with it when they don't have any sure means of returning it back, we should gamble when we are free on our leisure time and also have some money at hand for that purpose, it's not a good idea to use loan fun for gambling, we can rather look for other means like earningfrom what we do or can do and not what will make others loss their interest on us.
595  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcointalk was down on: December 04, 2023, 08:22:52 PM
Hahaha...1 hour is an understatement, it's way more. Smiley

If I am not mistaken, that downtime can't be anything less than 3 hours this time. I used the update I received on a telegram group to judge this which I believe is way more. You know what? I believe that people were more panicky this time than the last ones judging by the recent developments going on in the forum.

Well, I hope that we can be updated regularly on the cause of the downtime or even be warned before it happens at all.

The last time, I encountered downtime it was for 3 hours. Don't know what happen. Who knows if it's really a random issue or some kind of attack attempt. Theymos did they, that it was some server side problem. The most concerning part it the downtimes are becoming more frequent and longer. That is what what starts the panics.

There's no how there wouldn't be any form of glitches on the means to get access to the forum or internet as there's no assurance that things like this will not keep happening, though it may mean nothing but it's better that we know there will occasional experience like this, regarding the downtime, sometimes it may be due to the upgrade made to the forum or the other related internet connectivity challenges from accessing the forum, but the good thing is that it's all nothing to worry a about.

What's with this profile settings? I can't set my profile picture. I need a guid.

Here we don't call it a profile picture, it's an avatar and most people you're seing wearing them were only doing such for an advertisement purpose, nobody will like to display his own real identity to the public for nothing sake, also for someone to be able to wear an avatar, it has to be a fullmember and above which i believe you're not yet, but you may be able to only post an image with your rank and not an avatar.

Hi guys am new here I want to know about bitcoin I whould you to give me some resource thank you..

Welcome to the forum, since there's enough links that talked about bitcoin already provided to you by some members, i will advise that you go through them gradually and read to understand by taking your time, also it's something important to inform you about the forum's rules and regulations which you're expected to know and go about them, part of which is don't plagiarize, this will determine your stay here or not.
598  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Phishing scam on (exchanges) altcoins addresses on: December 04, 2023, 05:39:45 PM
What a serious trick is this, we have to be careful with anything that has to do with copy and paste, in most cases, i ensure to check the first five or six characters and the last ones as well to make sure that they tally with the ones am sending to, it's also better that we always copy directly from the wallet address on the exchange and then verify it was the inded address copied and paste.

Na why anytime I wan do transaction I no dey like any distraction. Even if sleep dey my eyes, e go clear because the rate this scammers dey advance with their scamming method is alarming. Whenever I want to send coins, no matter how small e be, I no dey feel lazy to go copy address directly from the exchange I'm sending to. And if na person I want send I go tell am to verify the address again before I send. Sadly, even copying directly from exchange account no longer dey save again because some keyboard app developers now na thief dem be too. You go copy address and dem go replace am with address wey dey similar to the one wey you copy. In most cases, the first and last digit or letter go be the same thing and if you proceed without paying attention Omo you don enta one chance be that. We just need to dey careful when sending our asset because anything wey you don send is no refundable.

That's a good decision and if every bitcoiners can always try as much as possible in giving attention to whenever they are trying to make a transaction, the rate of loss of fund due to any kind of format will be reduced and people will also have no reason of making some silly mistakes while performing their transaction, making a slightly mistake in cryptocurrency could cost alot of havoc including loosing the entire fund, this is what many should understand that it's a clear difference between using a commercial bank and using bitcoin for making payments transactions.

My Review:

Signing up

The first thing am going to talk about under this section from what I've encountered was that the website was fast and loaded well which was as expected for a good performance, but i discover that when i wanted to sign up, the page was not coming up for signing up on the browser i was using which was chrome, before i then switched to brave which then properly open the page for sign up, i understand that this may be probably my own error due to the browser or device used or rather the website being selective on that.

The Website Appearance and Settings.

I like the way the entire website appearance was, starting from the theme, fonts and the arrangements for each section of games, this is one of the first attraction that a gambler use in making a decision to either use a gambling platform or not because that the first representation of the image of the gambling platforms, I must applaud a well done job on that.

Supported Currencies

I also like the ideal way used by Jack's Club gambling platform to ensure that they supported a numbers of currencies that are reputable and common by everyone, this alone is one of the reasons gamblers can use to stay when they realized they won't have a deposit challenge in some currencies they may desire.

Deposit and Withdrawal

The deposit is one of the easiest to do because the entire procedures are straight forward and easy to achieve, i also liked the withdrawal of having a minimum amount of 0.001btc as balance while the transaction fee is not something to worry about as well.

Conclusion:

Gamblers will like to have a look, bet and also stay with Jack's Club gambling platform because they have simplified the whole thing to the best standard every gamblers would want, but as I've pointed out earlier, the site functionality should be tested on different devices likewise different browsers to see it there's any barrier or not in using one.

If all that had been said is truly having a negative impact on food security and availability then let everyone go back to making agricultural farming, if an average person is having a small garden where he do not need to go looking after what to buy being produced by others, there will be less dependency on a single supply entity, increase completion and make food items be more available for purchase at a cheaper price, this is possible because we have alot of people involved in the practice of agriculture unlike when we have lesser people being into farming.
