A lot of variables are concerned about investors investing in Bitcoin which are basically to make Interests.
The thing is that when investors have a dependent source of income aside their Bitcoin investment, they are privileged to keep holding and preserving of their Bitcoin assets and also keep stacking without adhering to FOMO or considering the fact that the current price of Bitcoin is hovering around a particular value does not have potentials of yielding profits.
It is just assumed that they are saving up for future plan with the potentials of making profits and can even be of retirement purposes.

While those who are not alternatively financial bouyant are   stick to FOMO and always considers the minimization of the amount of their buying more on the DCA because their targets are to accumulate and secure chances to make income.

I can clearly relate to what you are talking about, it reminds me during I passed out of from the high school and I and some friends engages on dares about approaching older girls passing by, we usually bets with what is affordable that who could have the gut of approaching the girl will take the stake.

Also as when we goes into an argument that seems never to be agreed, everyone believes they are right and to put it up on a tension, we subjects to get on the bottom line to the core to the reality point after a bet would be placed.
One would so much believe that he is on the right track and could bet his valuable such as phone that .... Ok, if I do not get this right as we ventures to find the truth, let me loose my phone. He is just being ignorant that he may loose his valuable and even winning the argument he would still not win any reward.

Reasons for conflict in the East are complex with many things contributing to ongoing tensions. Some key issues include historical & territorial disputes, political & ideological differences, ethnic & religious tensions, resource competition & power struggles. These things combined with a legacy of colonialism & geopolitical interests have created a volatile environment prone to conflict.
Fortune or and unfortunately, the West is also corrupted but they have Only been playing politics out of its geopolitical zones.
I agree that there is more chaos in the East comparing to the West but  truth stands that the East is more volatile to corruptions.

Honestly there had been several countries in the middle East via colonisation that are struggling to stand firm of its independence as a sovereign geographical region.

thank for information but do i must use KYC and driver license to buy bitcoin? sorry if it sounds stupid but I am totally fresh and am afraid to get scammed. I know binance but they say  I must do KYC and it seems a bit sketzy?

You're required by law to submit AML/KYC if you're using a big centralized exchange or literally any finance-related platform(even banks, as you probably know); this applies to like probably 95% of countries globally.

If you're not a fan of AML/KYC, go with peer-to-peer exchanges like Bisq and HodlHodl.
OP, while @mk4 have made valid points of clarity about the necessary wallets that maybe recommendable for you, let me also let you know that for now that you are coming in as a beginner, I advice you venture on a long term goal so that you can protect your interest of selling at a lower value where losts maybe accounted if you are too desperate to sell your Bitcoin in a short term and so also, venturing on a long term goal would provide you with an unpanicking emotions even when the market price goes against your target. Note it that Bitcoin is a volatile digital currency with the potentials of UPs and DOWNs.

So clearly speaking, holding is the best and for that in the main time, you do not need to have your assets stored on the Centralized exchange such as the Binance for security purposes. Right in the decentralized exchange you can purchase your Bitcoin either on a P2P and have your assets stored on a more reliable non-custodial wallets as @mk4 has recommended.
65  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lunatic gamblers who says Airdrop rewards are free funds. on: May 24, 2024, 02:18:57 PM
Well. I mean.  There are some airdrops which are completely fair and legitimate when comes to actually giving to their participants what it was promised from the beginning, though, most of the time airdrops are a wast of time, in the sake manner faucets are. Though, let us assume your friends indeed managed to get some good luck with airdrops and they obtained some money out of them and then decided to move onto gambling? Does it even matter?

People work and have careers for the sake of earning money to do whatever they want, including gambling and sport betting, those who chase and go after airdrops are faucets are also sacrificing their time for money, at a very lower pace than the average worker, that is. So there is not much of a difference wm between working and chasing airdrops for the same of wagering money.
As long as the activities we are talking about here are all legal and no scam is being pulled off in order for a few people to get rich out the trust and hopes of others, then to me it is completelt fine to use airdrop rewards to gamble.

To each their own.
Apparently the context of this thread does not state about airdrop scamming projects neither does it insight prohibition of airdrop lucky beneficials not to gamble with the funds they made from the airdrop projects.

It is clearly noted that we even afford to have some percentages of our income to gamble, that is absolutely right which is not exempted from earnings on airdrops.

The basic emphasis is that those of uncontrollable gamblers as my friends maybe happens to believe that airdrops funds are free funds so they do not mind having it all to bet on gambling so carelessly without undermining how huge the amount of money involved could be.
Literally such amount of the airdrops funds that is being lavished like that on gambling is beyond their usual gambling budgets.
 That is to say they stakes more with airdrop funds than their reliable source of income source.

Well, I am a Bitcoin holder so I did want to say we are not all like this. I am not anti governments and I am not anti banks. I do trust in myself for this reasons. We have to be very patient with our Bitcoin.

I do like what Bitcoin does have to offer. But I do not want to to overpower the powerful governments and the banking systems in this world.
Most definitely, when you lost trust of yourself as a Bitcoin holder definitely you would have others on suspect too but when trust yourself, you would not judge everyone based on how some bigots has been illiciting about the Bitcoin industry.

Right in the first place, Satoshi Nakamoto never projected that Bitcoin was to takeover the traditional currencies to be said that it is an anti Bank system, even at El Salvador that accepts Bitcoin as legal tender on the country, they did not scrap the rendering of their traditional currency.

Bitcoin has unique offers, its decentralization features and security facilities has been what has it the ability to perform those potentials tasks.
So it practically has not tailored to be an anti government technology.

68  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it proper for younger ones to gamble? on: May 23, 2024, 04:18:01 PM
Sometimes I think that +18 age limit should be reconsidered and adopted to modern realia. This +18 = adult comes from ancient times. Current kids, with access to the internet are more advanced than kids 50 years ago. Its kids today who teach adults. They are much more friendly with modern digital world. Its kids today, who set up, install or modernize every single gadget for their parents. I will not surprised, that in 20-30 years, vehicles will be so easy to ride, that drivers licenses will be available from 14. Not saying that kids at kindergarten age must gamble, but lots of +14 kids already play slots and roulette using counter-strike skins, and "game currency", that parents buy them.

Their childhoods were shaped by a world of high digital connectivity; a world that gives many people a deep technological savvy even before adolescence.

However, in adjusting age limits, we cannot ignore the implications for child safety. Although some children have advanced technological skills, they may lack the emotional or cognitive maturity necessary to resolve problem gambling. Teenagers are still in the learning and development stage; they are vulnerable to the adverse effects of gambling practices, such as addiction and financial instability, which can hinder their future growth and success.

Therefore, even though technological advances are bringing children into a world rich in digital exposure, we must remember that age restrictions in gambling are not just a measure of technological proficiency. They have a lot to say about protecting the interests and strategies for protecting children, both now and in the future. Therefore, it is important to enforce current age restrictions. The goal is twofold: isolating children from the dangers of gambling and providing a healthy pathway to safe development.

However, a child addicted to gambling will cause less problems to himself and people around him if that would do an adult addicted to gambling. Children are much more limited with money than adults, and they have less chances to get them to continue gambling. As they are still learning the world, sometimes I think that they wont give much attention to gambling in general, but rather switch to something that are more in trend. This is not a call to allow them gamble, but how much can they lose? Lunch money and what they got as a gifts. What an adult can lose? Salary, borrowed money, and money he could get from pawnshops.
@bakasabo, I understood your perspective view clearly. It is true that more looses are accounted when an adult is addicted to gambling because the adult would always have those privileges to source for money so he could keep gambling.

But bear it in mind that there would be more tension when a child is addicted because the child can as well attracted to illegal indulgences also for source of being able to gamble more when the child got no cash within the moment.
It could also traumatize the child to loose concentration while learning because all that would be ringing in his head is either for school to dismiss so he could go gambling or going to gambling during school hours, most interestingly, the child goes beyond control as not limited where the adult can sell his valuable just to gamble the child could as well indulge in selling the parents properties for same reason.

It becomes more tension when a child is addicted to gambling because he can not summon courage by himself to stop it like the courageous adults could be, so by so doing, the child could grow up by it by becoming a chronic addicted and wayward adult that was breeded from the childhood.
69  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lunatic gamblers who says Airdrop rewards are free funds. on: May 23, 2024, 02:50:02 PM
There is absolutely no Source of income that is free but some of my Bitcoin investors friends who are as much gamblers would not want to agree to that.
Currently, there had been several airdrops projects ongoing which participants are earning crypto coins without investing of money but executing some tasks.

So some of my friends says such funds are free money so they are delighted dedicating it to be spent on gambling and when they lost it all, it would be easier to let go because they did not stress to get the money.
Meanwhile... This usually comes a huge amount of money beyond their normal gambling budgets.

To me, they can utilize these so called free money by adding it up to their Bitcoin portfolio or even used it to spend on necessary things instead of dedicating to lavish it on gambling.

Have you also considered that these guys can also win big money from the gambling that they are using their airdrop money to invest on?
Hellooo... The last time I can remember, gambling is not recommendable for source of income and so, it doesn't look financially healthy to say they are Investing on gambling. That is ridiculous and misinterpreting about what gambling is about.
There could be a lucky day to be rewarded when one wins in gambling but can vividly say it is a source of income.

Come on gambling can't be associated to losing all the time.
Wrong again, gambling is a game of luck and when your luck never comes then you can loose all the time. There is no just compassion for a gambling casino to give you a winning privilege just because you have loosed a lote. So bet wisely because you can not determine the future of your game.

I believe those your friends are adults and they know what is good and bad, if so I believe that they will be fine, sometimes the problem we have in life is that we expect people to behave or think like us, and when we don't see that happening we become judgmental. 
Hey dude, if you know what friends are meant for, you will not argue with me if I say friends are group of persons who cares and watches each others back and not limited to point out errors when anyone goes wrong. I am definitely not referring to the mile of discriminations and judgemental as you may say.

We should just allow people make their own choices and live with the resulting consequences, be it good or bad. I have seen someone win big amount of money in gambling on football, when the game bet was won, almost everybody around blamed the guy for not sharing the game with them at the initial stage, but this was someone that almost every body was despising because he always gamble. For me since they are adults let them have it their own way.
Obviously while being so greedy in chasing profits and loosing our morales is actually what nurtures irresponsible and addicted gambling.
I don't dispute that there is no big winning in gambling but believe it or not, there is more risks on big winning and so you don't assume because there are chances for big winnings and just keep up chasing those winnings. You may just end up running bankrupt and ruining your life.
70  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Tradding Vs Saving, which is the safest way to build crypto holdings on: May 23, 2024, 08:27:09 AM
Anyone in crypto space right now and who has been active will agree with me that one of the vital parts of what makes cryptocurrency trend and go viral is the fact that it volatile and this has made the whole blockchain interesting, I mean the fact that one can easily turn some penny into a huge amount of money within a short timeframe makes it attract people from  all over the world aside from sending value.
Yes, the volatility of bitcoin development is its uniqueness not just from the fiats but also as the stock values. It has really gained massive dominant all over the world because>>>
* It is unified currency in a digital form.
* It is a volatile currency.
* It is potential to legal tenders for payments alternative.
* It is a self custodian currency.
* It serves potentials of earning incomes.

But I would quote you wrong Op that it is not a get rich quick as you may say (Short timeframe) unless you are ready to gamble with your funds.
While I do not have to live you astray with this, I recommend bitcoin investment safer for you especially the beginners who has always been victims of the shitcoins.

While the volatile nature of crypto space remains attractive and lucrative, it still remains the nightmare to many and hence the need to always ensure safety from the what makes crypto tradable. In the bid to achieve the purpose of trying to grow one's asset without having to expose it to volatility risk, several risk control measures have been set up which include stop loss, but that is not 100% sure to guard users from the price fluctuations, and hence the need of savings and getting returns high amounts of APR and this mimics the bank savings with, but here with higher rewards, if a person saves $1m, he could end the year with a good sum by just holding his asset, while a trader could turn little amount to huge one, it could go at that same rate too, so which one would you prefer as a trader and why
Better investing with a minimum amount you can afford to loose and not about having all your life time savings to invest on the Crypto currencies. Meanwhile, investing and holding with a set of goal while expecting a market rise before selling is usually safer than trading.
Traders actually counts more lost and can as much stand the chances to gain because they do not t resist market price of when to sell and when to buy as inventors may always consider the market price.

The practical tools used by this crafty scammers to execute all those illegal and malicious programs on readable files and operating system is just one thing I don't understand the possibility on how they gain accesses.

You can imagine opening a usual file and then at some times some flash messages just like that one OP has updated will pop up and ask you to click or download before proceeding or to view some added features, some will even say your files would be at risk if you don't complete those tasks.

Therein, if you follow the malicious directives, you will be ask to download an app to proceed, sometimes we are unaware about the phishing programs and after downloading it you will be redirected to download another and the more you are taking their directions is gradually they are gaining access to your files or operating privacies.

What baffles me then is that those malicious apps are being licenced on the Google Play Store where most users believes whatever app on the system is legit and approved to be used.

I still can not believe he has been absent from the ring all these while basically going for parties and crossing his legs watching TV at home. Lol.
Let us just assume he has been out there cooking some stuffs to rebounce back on stage.

But hey OP, I hope you don't mean to say it was going to be a stage or fixed fight for saying the match is to make Lopez look good since he has not made it in couple of his matches now? Otherwise... While Steve has also been active in the ring all these while, he may have also gathered some skills to defeat Lopez but let us watch out. It is a game that one must win and other looses.

Building a good investment portfolio is one key area I've come to learn of its importance and in building a good portfolio, the decision to diversify your investment option into different sectors is Always key and from what I've read both on the forum and off the forum, it seems the concept of diversification of your portfolio tend to tilt more to investing into Bitcoin and altcoin which somehow appears a bit one sided as i feel that building a good and ideal portfolio should cover not just the digital sectors but should necessarily touch other aspect of our lives.

Without the mean to argue with you, I am subjected to say we learn from one source based on how we individual understands the fact.
I love to learn new ideals but I choose what criterials to adopt basically ones that my conscience would not have regrets about so, on the table of learning about diversification of source of income after invested on Bitcoin, I do not see need of investing on the Alt coins instead I would buy to accumulate more to my Bitcoin holding which is already promising and reputable in the digital market hence Alt coins are not reputable and reliable like bitcoin does.

So I would take the diversifying of my investment to either real estate or commericial trading where I can get ride of volatilities but only fears economy inflations but least I can get quick source of incomes out of it to tackle my financial needs another to give my Bitcoin assets the chances to grow with a long term goal.
74  Economy / Speculation / Re: Be aware that the government and the haters envies your progress on BTC on: May 22, 2024, 09:12:59 AM
The government doesn't envy you because you own Bitcoin. In fact, you will be a great contributor to the economy if ever your progress as an investor will be a success. They just don't like the features that it has got and they are still in that taboo about it being used by criminals. It's been so long since that reason has been the one taught to the regulators and the government itself. One thing that you have said about is the real deal on this current state of the market and it's about being careful about scams, they're not limited to memecoins but almost every project that comes out nowadays and also the platforms that offers investments. That's what the people should be careful with.
Exactly, that is just the point. Maybe the OP just have to keep that thought off that the government is being envious about his holding on Bitcoin as an instrumental source of income.
Investors interests of earning in Bitcoin is not the problem of the government but about the model that they can not hold upon any entity responsible as the case maybe that the technology paves ways for criminals and some agencies to launder money through the system.

And it seems worried that a functioning government can not get ride to those criminal folks since the crypto currencies are decentralized and non-custodial.
So I think the government prioritizes their concern of this crypto world to the interests of the Crypto enthusiasts.

The Meme coins as well could be a point by which scammers can execute their targets which the OP can partially be right about it but definitely not of envies.

That was good outlines to stay responsible with your gambling from an onset as a beginner so that you don't get lost out control while you are getting addicted to it  unknowingly.
So it is better as beginner in gambling to be aware that you can loose it all on betting while desperately chasing the profits and  also do be aware that it is always unpredictable to tell when you can actually win.

And being on a safer side You must draft a gambling budget based on your income rate so that it does not affect your plans of achieving a goal.
77  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The death of Iran president and seven others on: May 21, 2024, 12:39:48 PM
Who's updated with the news that President Ebrahim Raisi and seven other people were killed in an aircraft?

Do we describe this occurance to be an homicide or fatal aviation accident?
I'm just thinking maybe sometimes we should just look away from how media may twist informations because they're usually not sincere in revealing the reality to the public.

As described on the news channel. It’s due to the bad weather which is convincing since multiple high officials casualties involved while other chopper land safely. Normally, all chopper will be brought down to remove potential evidence for the assassination yet the survivors never mention any hostility against them aside from bad weather.

This is crucial since they a recent tension against Israel while the president still have the say for nuclear progress.

Although you are right but it has came to my knowledge that helicopter doesn't just crashed like that even if the whether is bad but can only be crash by assassin's, that is either they have make a deal with the pilot or they plant a bomb in it, which might lead to the crashing because it can't just crashed without the notice of the pilot and then they will inform everyone to take hold of the parachute for someone to just survive.
Well it's only God that knows what really happened and what might prompt the the plan to crashed, because he can see beyond our sight, let's just pray for their souls to rest in peace.
The saga blowing within the locality of Iran and those who are instigators to inflame chaos would always want to have the accident pointed on Israel due to the current crisis going on among the two countries.

It was confirmed that the helicopter was not intercepted in the air neither was there a match to say there was a launched attack on the helicopter during when it landed. https://l.kphx.net/s?d=4969006625157214672&extra=&g=56f2378cb897d447e33ad09744d806d3

So it is odd to say that there is a body responsible for the crash of the helicopter since it has not be verified and proven.
So I think it would be more healthier for the good of everyone to say it is either mechanical fault or the described weather conditions was the cause in the main time.
78  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A debate between I and a friend who is real a time trader(Physical Trader) on: May 21, 2024, 08:31:31 AM
I have read all of your replies on this thread, and while I do not expect any of you to dance to my tunes, so I would take it all to be your opinions as per view on how you understood the context between me and a friends discussion.

Any, like I said, it was a discussion of fun and was not so serious that we had to convince one another in defendant that either me or him has the best enterprise of generating incomes.

The discussion coincidentally came up without the intention of one gaining a rewards just after we were both concerned about our welfares and source of incomes because it has been a very long time we met facially.
It was just a friendly discussion which turned out to be "Tell me what you are into all these while".

Foremost let it be known that success can come out of meeting new opportunities so I don't even see it bad trying to defend Bitcoin just as him also defending his real time trading firms. I can pick interest to diversify my source of income to him and so likely he can as well pick interest to diversify his source of income to Bitcoin. Something must always have to linger for a different dimension to occur in life.

I will keep ris thread update as time goes if I will finally diversify my income to his or he is coming to invest on Bitcoin.
So I do not welcome those he misquotes the concept that the discussion was for me to convince him to invest on Bitcoin.
However, it was a nice argument with lot tips of fun out of the moment.
79  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is boxing the worst sport to bet on? on: May 21, 2024, 07:05:59 AM
All by myself, I am not too conversation to gambling on boxing. It is likely like the WWE were obviously it seems scripted such a fix match programs, although UFC has seemed far away to be compared with it because there are lot of more serious individuals who do not believe on those meme entertainment but much more concerned and Interested on the sport games.

One thing is sure that every sectors of gaming or sport activities is being corrupted including the football games most of us a reliable on for bets.
You can imagine how matches are fixed and the football coordinators would never let the public know about it.
I guess that is also a view of corruption because it is a clear view that the fix matches are trade by barter where is targeted to benefit the two teams while the Interests of the fans are not considered.
And I guess when you bet on a potential winning team on such fix match you should be expecting a reverse that the unexpected team will take the lead.

While I do not mean to discourage anyone gambler of discriminating where they are conversant and reliable on betting, let me remind us that with all being said, gambling remains a game of luck.

Admitting that you have talked so well, I would contribute to say that it takes purpose of goals and determinations for Crypto investors to holding to their assets because the cause to sell your assets for necessary reasons would always arise although it mostly tempts those Investors who are not engaged with alternative source of income to solve their needs while their assets is delegated to execute a goal in a specific period of time.

But it is unfortunate that setting up your goal with the rewards of your crypto investment can be inevitable because the crypto markets is volatile which the specific time you programed to execute your target with your Crypto income may not be as expected so, long time holding has also been the best to reach the goal.
