It's very true that racism is not confined to sports, it's prevalent in every areas of the society, only that it's more noticeable in sports because of the popularity of many sports like football. Although I believe that racism is not prevalent today as it was like many decades back, it's perhaps lesser in this generation, but like a stubborn spot it's not easy to totally erase. I think that it's in human nature to want to feel superior to people that are perceived to be inferior, even people of the same race will discriminate against the people that are not in the same status and financial class with them. People needs to be more civilized and not judge others based on the color of their skin or their financial status in the society, but based on character.

When the super eagles scored the first and their only goal in the match against the Benin republic team, I was happy and I felt confident that the eagles were going to win the match, and in the worst case scenario that it might end in a draw. But I felt sad when the Benin republic, team, equalized and later went ahead to win the match, infact the eagles are dashing my hopes of seeing them in the world cup finals. This is an opportunity for Finidi George, to change his formation and give us a win, so that we can have faith in indigenous coaches, because this is his opportunity to shine and take the team to the world cup. In football anything can happen, so let us not totally write off our eagles, until it's over.

E de good to follow who know road make you no go miss road, so e de important for newbies to get experienced people for areas wey dem wan excel, so dem no go make avoidable mistakes. Cryptocurrency needs guidance because na industry wey dem de take money enter and any mistake your money fit to burn, if experienced person no tell you about di importance of securing your seed phrase and educating you about many shitcoins and scams for di crypto market, you fit to make plenty mistakes.

Any serious newbie wey want to learn no need to depend entirely on mentors, dem need to de make dem own research too on social media.

I agree with di attributes of mentorship wey de for di OP, every mentor needs to understand di rolls and temperaments of nurturing newbies.

It is a good thought that gambling companies should take part of the responsibilities of rehabilitating gamblers that got addicted through gambling. But I know that the idea can not be feasible for a lot of reasons, they advice gamblers to gamble responsibly, so if a gambler doesn't take their advice and degenerates to become addicted, nobody can hold them responsible. I believe that if gambling companies takes up the task or responsibilities of rehabilitating gambling addicts, it can get out of hand because we might have more addicts, some gamblers won't mind becoming addicts, as they know that gambling companies will take care of them.

This is one of the reasons why gambling is for adults who are old enough to make choices and take own decisions, and if they becomes irresponsible gamblers and gets addicted, I don't think that the consequences should be on the gambling companies.

I believe that Bitcoin, is not turning from it's original purpose, instead it is diversifying and becoming more innovative, meaning that it's added investment features is what is making it's adoption to be growing faster. Why it seems like the original p2p intention of Satoshi Nakamoto, for creating Bitcoin, is turning away from it's purpose is because hodling it for investment is more profitable, but that doesn't mean that people are no longer using it for p2p to make payments for transactions.

Although because people hodl Bitcoin more for investment, they hardly use it for payments, they'd rather use fiat, but I believe that if more businesses starts to accept Bitcoin, as payment, it will encourage more hodlers to be making payments with it.

I believe that there must be customers protection rights when casinos and bet companies are seeking for registrations in any country, but the the majority of gambling customers might not be aware of these laws that protects them. There is a gaming commission in my country and I believe that they're in charge of gambling regulations in Nigeria, and I hope that part of their job is to protect gamblers from gambling establishment's exploitations. Most times people don't have the patience to go through the rigors of reading through terms and conditions of casinos and bet companies, they'll agree and go straight to gambling, perhaps it's only when problems arises that they'll tell you what you agreed to. The important thing is for gamblers to look for casinos and bet companies that have reputation.

Bitcoin fit to help to reduce crime unto say na store of value wey people fit to invest in and earn profit to take better dem lives, also cryptocurrency in general fit to help reduce crime because e de profitable to trade and invest. But Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency no de enough to combat crime for any country, no matter how profitable e be, crime na choice because even di super rich de involve for crime. Wetin cryptocurrency de do in general na to provide avenue to do business and earn profits, di advantage be say person no need to write application to any establishments before dem go start, na just to learn about di required skills, raise money and start, meaning say di crypto industry no get restrictions.

I think that there can be different reasons why people who gambles and loses repeatedly still continues to gamble. One of the reasons could be boredom, when a gambler don't have anything better to do, they will just go back to gambling, and it doesn't matter much whether they win or lose. Others could be chasing loses, when they've lost so much money in gambling, they'll be believing that they will recover all their loses in the next couple of gambling. Then we have the addicts, some don't even know why they gamble anymore, it becomes something that they must do to have peace of mind, without which they can remain nervous all day, they can sale their belongings or borrow money, just to satisfy the urge of gambling. It's important to be disciplined and take breaks from gambling when the gambler repeatedly loses.

Bitcoin investment don make plenty impact for our Nigerian economy, many people especially di youths don enter crypto business in different capacities, weda na for trading or investment levels, dem de make money inside. Person wey get long term business plans, instead to save money inside bank, wey inflation go de devalue am, di best thing na to do DCA method, invest di money inside Bitcoin, within some years e go accrue plenty returns on investment to start di project.

I hope say our government go change dem perspective towards cryptocurrency and understand say no am be di problem of Nigeria, dem fit to regulate di sector, so everybody for di country go understand say na genuine business e be.

I think that this is a strategy that casino companies uses to work on gamblers psychologies, they know that the moment a gambler cashes out their wins, that'll probably be it for the day, so delaying withdrawals can tempt the gambler to gamble more, afterall they're not putting extra money. So best thing is not to patronize casinos that delays payments, inorder to reduce the temptations of continue gambling when you're supposed to sign off. Above this i think that every gambler needs to imbibe discipline, inorder to avoid unnecessarily gambling more than they should and regret later.

Indeed seeing is believing and I'm agreeing with your thoughts because this is not the first time that I'm hearing about refunds from FTX to their customers who have been waiting endlessly for action instead of words. If they however fulfills their promise of repaying back 118% to the claimants, I think that will be a very good start for them, perhaps it'll restore some level of trust to their dented reputation, even if it's in small way. Although I wish that they had put a date to the promise of payments, that would've given people more assurance that they have a concrete plan to start, we'll just wait and see how it plays out.

This year's US election will be very interesting because the two candidates are not new to the white house, one is a past president and the other is a sitting president. It'll be easier for Americans to choose who they want to lead them after the election because they have seen the performance of the two. I would have said that it's not easy to defeat an incumbent president, but Joe Biden, won Donald Trump, who was an incumbent president.

If I'm to put a bet on whom I support to win and whom I think will win, then I'll put my money on one candidate, Donald Trump. But that's a call that the American citizens have to make, and I hope that they do justice with their votes to choose who the majority wants.

I don't think that Bitcoin gives anybody overnight riches to establish a business, especially if the person is a low income earner or poor, you need to hodl it for a long term to be able to make enough ROI to reinvest into another business. So your dream of starting a fancy restaurant in the ghetto, without sufficient funds and depending on Bitcoin, might not be a feasible idea, unless you're getting a massive support from other areas, like your writing skills.

I don't think that you need a fancy restaurant in the ghetto to make the poor people to be happy, because they'll be more interested in the food and might hardly appreciate your hard labor to give them fancy and luxury. If you're serving fancy food and services to people who can't afford to pay for it, then I wonder how you are going to sustain the business with your small income? If you don't have the excess money to start a charitable business, then don't, only give what you can afford at anytime.

Technological advancements don really help di financial sectors for every country inside di world today, you fit to sit down for di comfort of your home and begin to de do financial transactions, whereas before di creation internet, you go queue for many hours for Banks before you go transfer money. But for clarification purposes OP, no be only for cryptocurrency digital transactions de happen, we fit to also do digital transactions with fiat currency, e mean say any transactions wey no be with physical cash, na through digital transactions e go happen.

Di advantages of a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, and wetin make am to de unique pass fiat digital transactions be say na decentralized digital cash im be while fiat currencies dem de centralized. Bitcoin give di holders privacy and freedom from third party interferences anywhere in the world, person wey hold Bitcoin, anywhere in the world no get any government restrictions to make financial transactions, unto say governments no de control am, unless di person go through centralized exchanges.

I wasn't disposed to watch the match live when it was being played, but I've received enough updates about it afterwards, just like you said, I heard that it was was a well contested match, although the bafana bafana of south Africa, had the upper hand against the super eagles of Nigeria. I'm still uptimistic about Nigeria's qualification, despite all the odds in front of them, our new coach, George Finidi, has a lot of experience in football as an ex player and he has acquired a lot of coaching experience, so I believe that this match is a big test for him and the team will perform better against squirrels of Benin, in our next match.

People likes to follow success patterns so when they see something that became a success, they'll like to follow any replica or what shares similarities with it. Since the success of NOTCOIN, I'm amazed at how many people that are now tapping on their phones, both the young and old, even people who were skeptical about cryptocurrency, I guess because the tapping is an easy task for them. But my worry is that scammers will take advantage of these tap trend to scam people who are not knowledgeable about cryptocurrency. They will ignorantly pay scam fees inorder to claim their rewards, others will connect their main wallets to the scammers, in the end they'll categorize every cryptocurrency as scam.

If your religious believes and the laws of your country doesn't prohibit gambling, then by all means you can go ahead and do so. If Christianity doesn't specifically prohibit gambling, then I don't see any reason why a religious leader can not preach and gamble responsibly, what really matters is the gamblers lifestyle, not the gambling itself.

The religious leader's reasons for gambling is very noble as far as I'm concerned, if he's dedicating his winnings to alleviate poverty, then he should be encouraged. I think that he's better than those religious leaders that will take from the poor and enrich themselves.

I think that it's not right for casinos to ban him because of his wins everytime because if he was losing that same amount they wouldn't consider banning him. But it's obvious that casinos don't like to loose, and if a gambler keeps winning they won't like him to be their customer anymore. If there's no evidence that he manipulates he's winnings, then the ban is not fair.

I totally agree that we don't need a special day to touch the lives people, especially the poor in our societies, giving should be done whenever we have it to give out. But I also reason with the OP that there are special occasions that calls for special givings, which doesn't stop you from being charitable on every other days. I think to donate $100 on the day that Bitcoin hits $100k is a laudable idea to celebrate the much awaited and speculated price and it doesn't stop the person from giving more or less in any other days. I'm personally looking forward to the day when Bitcoin price reaches, $100k, besides looking forward to giving out a special donation to the poor, I'll give my family a special treat to celebrate it.

Na true say some people still de doubt di legitimacy of Bitcoin reach today, dis sets of people still de reason everything wey de for internet say na scam, and na so dem go still de pesimistic and beta things go de pass dem by. Aldo as e be now for Bitcoin matter, more people de get awareness everyday say na genuine digital cash and a store of value, compared to wen Satoshi, first create am, even me sef follow call am scam, say na Ponzi scheme. You no fit to take di rate wey people take de skeptical about Bitcoin, years back and compare am to now, di awareness and adoption don increase geometrically.

Recently wey Notcoin give airdrop reward to people, di thing don make plenty other people to understand say crypto matter no be play play thing, say e get people wey de make genuine money for inside cryptocurrency. And di thing don follow increase Bitcoin adoption, unto say more people don know say no be scam e be.
