61  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a core subject in our schools - Good or bad idea? on: May 11, 2024, 06:27:55 AM
Bitcoin as a core subject? Well in my opinion I would say cryptography as a core subject rather. Then students or pupils will be able to get a proper understanding of how the crypto space works especially in the case of Bitcoin. For some time now some schools already offer such subjects to their students however most of the time as a branch under one of their networking or programming subjects. I think if it was a full subject it should be divided into cryptographic programming and crypto economics.
What is actually offered in schools across the globe is Blockchain Technology and you can find the list of some of the university that offers that in this article. I think Blockchain is a better caption as confirmed by what is already on ground. It is broader and cover Bitcoin and altcoins as well as the underlying technology which cryptography is part of.

With the wide application of the blockchain technology, offering such courses in school will transform many sectors such as medicine, agriculture, civil service and others. It could also help in fighting crime and corruption. Indeed, this is a new area of studies that I'm hopeful will grow and gets bigger.

Gambling thus requires three elements to be present: consideration
 (an amount wagered), risk (chance), and a prize.

I noticed that people now don't actually know their main points of them gambling, some people gamble to earn daily and some people just gamble cause they saw their friends won in gambling. That's how they develop their gambling lifestyle and from their they get addicted to it. I've over heard people complaining about them losses, for me I think they don't know the main points of gambling. What do you think about this people losses much? Does it mean they don't know the main points of gambling?
I was expecting to see where you will give us the main points of gambling but seems you are also looking for the same answer you are accusing many people of not knowing. In my understanding, the main point of gambling is to earn money which is what you described as prize. Remove the the money, you will be left with only the gambling addicts as the rest of the gamblers will not see any reason to gamble. Even those that claim to be gambling for fun will ditch gambling the moment their is no monetary gain attached to gambling. If you are not propelled to gamble because of money, check well to see that you have become an addict such that even if money is removed, you just love gambling.

There's nothing bad in good positive emotions, like those that we experience when we are winning, but usually aggressiveness is not one of them good emotions we should seek for.
Gambling should never be aggressive because the chances of losing is higher than that of winning. If you are aggressive, before the winning will come, you might run out of money. I have tried aggressive gambling a couple of times, I will start with like $20, go all in and either win or loss is the option. When I win, I go all in with my balance because I was targeting to hit $1 million compounded from $20. Somethings I will build the funds to a couple of hundred dollars and then lose them all only to start all over again. With time I realised that this pattern is not sustainable so I have to resort to gambling with single digit percentage of my account balance per session and also controlling how ofter I gamble. This way I will always remain in the game even after several losses.


64  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Conference League 2023/24 Season on: May 09, 2024, 03:23:19 PM
Olympiakos has a big chance to advance to the Final, Aston Villa will find it difficult to overcome a 2 goal deficit in the away match, especially if the hosts implement a defensive strategy. However, Aston Villa will play more aggressively in the second leg, with the aim of equalizing first, and Olympiakos must avoid following the rhythm of open play. It is clear that Olympiakos has a realistic chance of advancing to the Final, but you still shouldn't underestimate the strength of Aston Villa. Many did not expect Aston Villa to fall at home with a big score, because previously many had placed them as the favorite team to win the Confederacy League this season. On the other hand, Fiorentina, who were finalists last season, will most likely reach the final round again after winning 3-2 in the first leg. If Olympiakos is able to maintain their level of play as in the first leg, they can even beat Fiorentina in the final.
For me I'm already looking beyond the semi finals because if Olympiakos can defeat Aston Villa first leg at Villa's home with even two goals margin, I don't see how they will not humble them when they visit Greece. That first encounter was a shocker to the English side and I never knew such a result was even possible. Aston Villa tried so well to come from two goals down to 2:2 before Olympiakos overpowered them by scoring two more goals to seal their fate. I'm not expecting much tonight, probably a 1:1 draw.

I have a feeling that Tottenham will mess up Manchester City league title dreams this season. Tottenham have been on losing streak, losing 4 matches straight which have made them lose their chances of qualifying for Champions League next season and even their chances of qualifying for Europa League is being threatened by Newcastle that have picked up form after their weeks of turbulence. Tottenham need to win at least one match if they must change the tide and the only option available is Brighton or Manchester City. I'm feeling that they might draw Brighton then win Manchester City. If this happens, then Arsenal's hope of winning the league will become reality.

How did you guys invest in as beginners. What was your experience with the market volatility? A lot of people talk how investing in Bitcoin is good but risky, i don't want to rush to invest  bitcoin. I need to be very sure of what I'm planning to go into. I don't know if I am making the right decision or I'm too sluggish to invest. I'm not really convinced maybe because I don't know much. Do you think this delay is good for me? I believe it is good for one to be  sure and understand anything that involves money.
This is a very good topic that will help many new investors in gathering the required knowledge to avoid making mistake in their Bitcoin investment. From my experience, DCA method remains the best way of investing in Bitcoin especially for beginners because it eliminates most of the troubles people have in regards to investing in Bitcoin such as fomo, selling too quick, eager to see profits and so on.

In addition to using the DCA method, I will suggest that beginners must know few things that will help them in their investing as well as managing the investment and those include but not limited to:
  • Invest what you can afford to hold for long, I mean money you can live your life without
  • Before investing,  make sure your basic needs are first met, then after investing, ensure you set some funds aside for emergencies which were not planned for but can happen, this way you will not have to sell your Bitcoin to solve them

I'm sure that with these steps, a beginning can invest even like a profession provided he has also acquired the basic knowledge of storage and security.

They had launched the campaign and never selected anyone and move the thread to altcoin section.It seems funny 😄 😄  Grin

It mean the stake doesn’t have a budget for new participants..?

If they doesn’t have budget for the participants either they need to delete the thread.But moving the thread to bounty section seems funny 😁
I was expecting to see a post like this from someone hoping to join the campaign but was disappointed how a member account will know too much about the forum and signature campaigns. Even if this account is your alts, you would have made this post with your main account that is probably suitable for this kind of post. I'm not saying that having alt account violate any rule, but using a member account to discuss topic that belong to Hero/Legendary account is not proper.

As for Stake accepting new people, I think they should or will accept else they will not make the announcement for open slots. Besides, they sometimes PM accepted participants and can decide not to publish it in the thread.
68  Economy / Speculation / Re: LAST CHANCE TO BUY BITCOIN..... on: May 08, 2024, 03:04:24 PM
There is no last chance to buy Bitcoin because there will always be a chance to buy. Captions like this will do more damage than good especially for the newbies. Damage in the sense that some of them might decide to put all their money into Bitcoin or even borrow money to buy Bitcoin only to panic when the price refuses to rice rapidly.

Those of us using the DCA method will not also feel comfortable with this idea because we are continuously buying irrespective of the price. Even if Bitcoin rises to $100k, we will continue to buy because the DCA method is a gradual way of buying Bitcoin in a regular basis. I understand that your emphasis is on the need to consider investing in Bitcoin now but that does not mean it is the last chance of buying Bitcoin.
69  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell? on: May 08, 2024, 01:53:35 PM
Investing for the purpose of profit is foolish, if you accumulate bitcoins for a long time then profits will definitely be earned because the price of bitcoin will increase the most in the future.
I disagree with you completely. How can you come up with such strong term as though profit is not the first motivation for investing in Bitcoin. Weather long term or short team investment, the main purpose for investing in Bitcoin is to make profit. Recommendation for long term investment is to ensure that enough time is given for the investment to yield the desired profits and for the investment to be optimally managed. In addition, the risk of loss is greatly reduced when the investment is given enough time to mature. These are the reason we think encourage people to consider long term and not that short term does not give profit neither should we regard those who play for short term as fools.

70  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much of my salary should I use to gamble on: May 08, 2024, 01:30:55 PM
Gambling is becoming a popular thing in my locality almost everyone gamble and even colleagues gamble and engage in gambling related discussions at work,  so gambling is legal and very popular so there is no Shame in using part of a salary to gamble with that is why I am asking the question of what the right percentage from my salary that I should use to gamble?
I don't think there will be a generally accepted answer to this question because people's salaries are not the same and so also their needs and responsibilities. These are the factor that determine how much can be injected into gambling without feeling depressed when it is lost. Some people can put 20% of their income and still be good whereas there are people that will put 5% and will be worried. Whatever be the case, I think a 2.5% of income injected will not make anyone broke. It is small but huge for sizeable for gambling provided the gambling will be diligent to build it systematically to something magnificent.

Dortmund really appeared as a surprise team in the UCL event this season, they surprisingly got rid of PSG who have a luxurious squad with agg 2-0. Dortmund who appeared less than convincing in the Bundesliga, were actually able to surprise the football public after successfully qualifying for the final, they were able to maintain their defense well even though PSG launched continuous attacks. PSG elimination in the semifinals this time also buried their dream of winning the UCL Trophy for the first time in the club's history. They could buy the players they wanted with the money they had, but they couldn't afford the trophy they had been aiming for.
No one actually believed that Borussia Dortmund will be a serious contender in this years' Champions League. They never performed so well in their local league either so where they found the strength to eliminated Atletico Madrid and followed by the French champions, PSG is like a mystery. What is more surprising is the fact that defeated PSG both home and away, bringing down the hype and glory of PSG and their key player Kylan Mbappe. Now they await the winner of today's match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munic. With the performance of Dortmund so far, they might likely win the trophy, they have the team work and energy to make it happen. 
72  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: 3 things to know before investing in Bitcoin on: May 08, 2024, 10:08:05 AM
from this link, it is very important to know how something works before going into where as going deep into research to know the steps to take to be successful in your investment.
I have read many Posts in this forum which indicates that many people don't know what to do many business persons fail in their business cause they don't follow procedures some just venture into it cause others are making success. Recently I saw a post where the writer was asking what should he do if someone tells him they would hold him responsible for their lose if they invest in Bitcoin. Bitcoin and investment is not something to force someone into.

Today I took my time to make this research of Bitcoin investment and I found this so I decided to share.

THE HALVING AND BITCOIN MINING: 3 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE INVESTING IN THIS EXPLOSIVE INDUSTRY.
The article you referenced and the caption of your post are not saying the same thing. While the article is talking about investing in Bitcoin mining, you seem to be talking about investing in Bitcoin itself. These are two different areas of investment that requires two different approach, knowledge and finance.

I don't know much about Bitcoin mining neither do I plan to venture into such area. My focus in investing in Bitcoin and like many people have already said, investing in Bitcoin requires the basic know of Bitcoin, having a stable source of income, and ensuring there is provision for emergency funds incase of personal needs that may arise, with planned and unplanned,  during the period of investment. This way the investment will be protected and held for a long time which is the best way to enjoy the benefits of investing in Bitcoin.
73  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What to do to get merit reward? on: May 07, 2024, 08:26:51 PM
Hello everyone, I have been here for a few weeks/months now but I'm yet to receive "merit" so I'm just worried, please can someone tell me what I will need to do or how long I will need to be here for before I get merit and other rewards?
I sincerely under your post which is coming from someone who have had 47 posts yet no merit. A close look at your profile will easily show why you have not gotten any merit. First, you just registered in March of this year which is less than two months, this is a short interval of time to learn about how the forum works, the rules and how to post to earn merit. Majority of us spent months trying to figure out how the forum works and earning merit was the last thing on our mind. So give the forum time, keep learning how the forum works and don't stress yourself trying to make posts that are not within your level of understanding of blockchain, this being the reason some people resort to using AI, don't do it so that your account will not be nuked.

Secondly, most of your post are in the gambling board, that is a low merit board that will rarely earn you merits. If you want to see some improvements in your situation, engage more in the other boards, and you must do that appreciating the fact that you are a newbie, so don't try to act like a legendary when you are a beginner.

Finally, you will make much progress when you settle down to do more of learning than posting because that will shift your attention from merit to knowledge and that is when the merit will start flowing. We all are basically rewarded with merits for our contribution through knowledge, so seek knowledge and merit will be the reward.
74  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 06, 2024, 05:54:15 PM
About Darwin Nunez to Barcelona rumours I think the only way for Liverpool to let him go would be to find someone solid in his place. Otherwise Liverpool wouldn't like to sell Nunez. I'm not much of a fan of Nunez though because of his wasting too many goal opportunities. It wouldn't be bad for Liverpool to find a more effective striker.  Tongue
I don't think it will be about Liverpool willing to let Nunez go but about him being willing to remain at Anfield after this disappointing ending they encountered.  I feel he might go for where his chances of pushing his career forward is higher and Barcelona seems like one because the exit of Jogen Klopp might mean a serious nosedive for The Reds.

Besides I'm doubtful about Barcelona to pay that high amount of money for Nunez. I don't think it makes sense. Nunez hasn't been impressive enough to sacrifice that much money. By the way I'm curious about whether Lewandowski is staying for another season. If he stays then I don't expect them to sign another striker.
I think this is the bigger thing to consider in that rumor.  As much as I know, Barcelona may not be willing to pay that much for Nunez because they still have good alternatives. His performance is not even that spectacular towards the end of the season.
75  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Use your winning responsibly on: May 06, 2024, 05:43:32 PM
How to use gambling winning depends on the amount involved. If the winning is big, the best way to use gambling winning is investment in something that will bring more money. This way, you can sustain and fund your gambling from the proceed of such investment. Buying other things that does not generate income might be good for some people but not always great because the challenge of most gambler is the capital. It is usually very frustrating to fund gambling with money meant for other items, so I feel the ideal way is investment so that the gambler can remain liquid and will not be bothered much if losses strikes because he has something to fall back to.
76  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: AltCoins hypes re similar to politicians promises during campaigns on: May 06, 2024, 05:13:43 PM
What a perfect title! Anyone who is conversant with the hype that altcoins receives can understand how perfect this caption captures it. This is mainly because the founders of these altcoins spend a large chunk of money in marketing and that is how the hype is generated and spread. Many people are caught up in these hypes and end up losing their money.

Politicians make sweet promises during campaigns, promises they will never fulfill when they assume office. Correlating this to the altcoins marketing, it is usually the same thing... too much promises that are never kept. Buying altcoins is very risky and should only be done with spared funds.
77  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: May 06, 2024, 08:54:26 AM
Results of the 30th week of the Saudi Arabian League match between Al Nassr and Al Wehda. Al Nassr, who managed to achieve a landslide victory with a score of 6-0 over Al Wehda, is important for Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends.
You refer to a 6:0 defeat "managed to achieve a landslide victory"? I know it's choice of words but this one really made such outstanding performance look so common. To me it was a decisive and convincing defeat that deserve to be priased even though in reality, it does not do much to their quest for trophy this season.

The additional three points ensured that Al Nassr postponed Al Hilal's title and continued to trail them. Al Nassr currently has 74 points from 30 matches, Al Hilal is perched at the top by collecting 83 points, they still have one game left. With a difference of 11 points,
Well even though the win postponed the trophy, it cannot stop it. Al Hilaal can lose all their remaining matches and still win the trophy because when that happens, there is no guarantee that Al Nassr will win all their matches.

My focus now is how to continue playing Al Nassr over 3.5 combined with Al Hilaal direct win until the end of the season.

Liverpool are completely out of the race. I'm talking about a fight between Manchester City and Arsenal. Once Manchester City complete their missing match, it will be clear whether they will finish ahead or not. I do not expect Arsenal to lose points in an important race in the last matches. The important thing for them will be that Manchester City does not win. That possibility is also quite slim.
Is there really still a fight in the Premiership title race? I thought by now it should have become obvious that Manchester City have had their way. Their last match against Wolves is enough to convince everyone that Manchester City is not ready to negotiate the league with anyone, so no team will be able to stop them.

My only regret is that I allowed all those goals to waste without betting on them just because of fear of their inability to score many goals against Nottingham Forest.  Normally, I would have dropped a major bet of over 3.5 goals in that match as well as that of Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen, but the confidence was not just there.

Will soon analyse next weekend to see how to make some money from those major teams before the end of the season because we are getting closer by the day.
79  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Make we dey check minimum deposit for exchange before sending crypto. on: May 04, 2024, 08:36:30 PM
This information no be only to newbies but also to old members who never understand the minimum deposit of an exchange.
You are right because not many people pay attention to minimum deposit amount, all the attention is usually given to minimum withdrawal but no one pay attention to minimum deposit. This is understandable because the fees for deposit is deducted from the sender so exchange do not really make much consideration about it except few that even set very low deposit limits.

But if any exchange set 0.0002 as a minimum deposit amount then that exchange is a suspect because that is a big amount of money in local currency. When I checked that BTC in naira na #18+k so someone would just lost that amount to exchange. Then they are thieves and it is not encouraged to use.
0.0002BTC is not really much of a big amount for a limit. By today's price, that is about $13 which is not much. Most exchanges set their deposit limit to $10 which is fair though.

These set of arsenal players have made the defensive line of the team so sophisticated and solid for the ease of the attackers upfront, now it has gotten to a point where the arsenal team find it so easy to score goals no matter the opponent. for this Bournemouth game, i feel they where  doing more of the playing and  Arsenal where doing more of the scoring. I do enjoy arsenal consistency for these past few months as they've been on a winning spree week in week out. The Bournemouth game just ended 3-0 with Declan Rice scoring a beautiful one in the die minute of the game.
Indeed the Gurners have done so well this afternoon with their 3:0 win against  Bournemouth. Such wins further straighten their goal difference and place them at advantage when that becomes a factor. If Arsenal had maintained this tempo, they would have won the title without much stress. Its just unfortunate that their 2:0 loss to Aston Villa will continue to hunt them until the end of the season.

Let's watch out and see how the Manchester city game against wolves will pan out, I'm sincerely hoping it will either be a draw or a win for wolves which is unlikely but this is football anything can happen.
Wolves has all other takes to stop Machester City this afternoon but I don't know if they will be able to develop the mental strength to see it through. They might not be that big but they have demonstrated to be a strong team aga9nst big names. The stand to lose nothing if they lose this match to Manchester City Sotherton just have to zero their mind and play their best.
