I have some sort of burden within my mind and I don't know how to go about it and with the kind of approach I should use to initiate a dialogue and be sure of being given a paid attention to what u have to say. Alright, this is it...
Am one folk from a polygamous family. My Dad (now late) married three wives of which things seemed to have been going smoothly among the wives and we the children from different mothers while Dad was alive, but an unfortunate events sets in disrupting the peace immediately after Dad's death. More than a year now we all of different mothers have not being in talking terms owing to inheritance issues that sets in. But this isn't what burdens me at the moment.
The actual burden is that, for the past months now I noticed how my other brothers some who are not yet engaged with a any payable job at the moment struggling through with some difficulty catering for their selves based on how harsh the economic situation in the country current is. And I have been wanting to talk to them about bitcoin currency and perhaps bitcointalk forum too, but hey, my fears is that they might not give me audience based on how things are within the family. Not that my awareness and familiarity with bitcoin as a digital currency has made me rich but at least to a notable extent despite with the associated risk involved it has really been profitable to me financially through which I have used to finance and pay some bills. And in same vein I feel it could be helpful too to them knowing and taking part in it. Of which I'll gladly guide them through to the best of my ability about the process. I don't propose to convince them into buying the idea but I only intend presenting it to them and the decision to get along is completely left with each one of them.
But the emphasis here is my fear on how to approach them and engage them in the discussion that their attention would be deeply captured to give me a listening ears to what I have in mind since we're currently not in good talking terms due the family issues on ground.
What do you guys propose I do or how to go about it!. Or should I just look the other way!
It is hard to start a normal conversation to a family member that you have been distant to, specially when it also involves money or way of earning. There are times that they would feel somehow disrespected even though it is not your intention, For me the best way for it is by sharing it through your social media you could post on how to earn online something like that, and if they like your idea they are the ones who would initiate the conversation. I've done this before I don't want to directly invite my family members into crypto so I shared some cryptocurrency related post, then some of my auntie and even cousin's ask me about it. |

It would depend on stories that I would hear or read,
If those are great achievements then, most of the time I would be inspired and try to achieve my goals as hard as I could.
If those are failed investment or somehow funny experience that I could relate on then I would just laugh it out.
But most of the stories that I hear or read about crypto are their achievements and how crypto changed their life those stories really inspired me and drive my eagerness to invest and do much more in crypto to be successful like them and also experienced telling my great achievement some day.

People actually claim to be strong holders that can go against any situation wanting them to sell off some of their bitcoins. The strongest of holders do not just sell at the slightest economic discomfort I know, but I believe everybody has a threshold at which if the pressure surpasses them, they would break into the decision of selling some of their bitcoins to sort the present condition. What kind of situation do you think is enough to pressure you in seeling some of the bitcoins you have been holding. Is family or health challenge enough reason to?
Anytime that I would face some financial problem and I don't have other choice then that is the situation that would force me to sell some of my crypto. It doesn't matter if it is family or health issue as long as I don't have any other choice to provide I would sell to survive. I would hold my crypto as much as I could as long as I could, but when the time comes that I don't have any way to survive or surpass the situation without selling my crypto then I would just sell it. |

 We know gold is very precious metal, but Bitcoin is much more expensive than gold. Bitcoin will cross $100k after halving in 2024 ie if I invest $3000 in Bitcoin now then there is a chance of getting 10x after 2024. If I get $30000 from investing $3000, nothing can be as valuable as Bitcoin. I explained this formula to my wife at night and she was not willing to give me her jewelery at first but today she told me by herself that you can sell my jewelery and invest in Bitcoin. At present I am forced to sell my wife's jewelery as I have no fiat money. I seek advice from expert investors/holders/users of this forum,,,, whether selling my wife's jewelery and investing on bitcoins makes sense? Is it reasonable to invest in gold rather than bitcoin? The question here is does your wife agree with this? It is her jewelry and she might consider it as something more valuable than money because of the memories that she had on those jewelry. There are times that money couldn't overvalue those things so you should also consider it. For me if it is about the money then it could be worth it, but if it would somehow wreck your relationship then it is not worth the risk. |

We all know the quote "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer" I heard this quote when I was in high school now I'm grown up. I always wondering why?
Is it that the rich have already wealth the day they are born? Have savings and investment?
While the poor doesn't have any of those?
The point is I started in low before having some savings and investment. I'm not saying I'm already rich but I can say that I'm better than before. Can you guys share your ideas with this topic.
It's all about how you manage your time and money. I've read it before that rich get richer because of the way they think and manage their money (investment, business and doesn't spend much on un necessary things) while poor get's poorer because they live above their means, they spend more than what they really need buy things to look good. There are people who are born poor but manage to make it rich and vise versa because of how they manage their time and money. |

I used to plan on how much I would spend back when I was younger, now that I am working and earning my own money it seems that I spend so much that I only have few money left before my next salary arrives.
I spend most of my money on food, I know some would think that it is just an excuse but when I am stressed out or feeling down food is the only thing that could make me feel good right now other than online games.
But I also want to go back to how well I handle or plan my money before it's just that it is so hard right now for me.

I come from a hard-core farming family, and we are all involved in agriculture. I was able to get ( inherit) an acre of land from my parents, and I started my cocoa farming business in 2010. Since then, it has improved greatly, and I have been able to purchase a sizable amount of Bitcoin with the business, even though it is seasonal and can produce both good and bad results.
Although I did everything in my power to increase business adoption of cryptocurrencies, I gave away some Bitcoin and some other coins too, and Bitcoin was my primary goal to use as means of exchange , yet, I have failed badly.
Those who buy bags of cocoa from my farm are older illiterate people, I wasted my energy, trying to even tell them the benefits that comes with paying with Bitcoin, they are not even ready to take advantage of my discount, then I stopped.
In 2020, two special buyers are now handled by younger guys, the sons, I thought I will be able to handle them and make Bitcoin payment a possibility, it still doesn't work, these young lads are just like their old men.
So I give up, I decided to talk about this because I still find it hard to believe that no where in this world of agriculture is accepting Bitcoin as means of payment.
Is there anyone into agriculture and farming that are accepting Bitcoin?
What advice do you have for me at this point?
Should I just give up for now and wait for the future maybe when Bitcoin gets more popular? Or Bitcoin and farming makes no sense together?
Just look at it on their perspective. Do you see any means to pay with Bitcoin? Would it be worth it? Yes you are giving them discounts if they would pay you with crypto, but how about the fee? how about the process of buying crypto? Don't you see their prespeuthat it isn't really that much of a help for them, instead it is just another work for them. So they are choosing the easiest way for them to pay, I know that you just want to help them be aware of crypto but we couldn't force people to believe or like what we believe or like. |

Parents that are of age, what do we think about then? Do you think they're eligible and learned to learn about bitcoin? Talking about ageing parents of 70, 80, and 90s. Looking at the current world parents don't like their children to be exposed to internet maybe because of their past experience of scam threats or they've trade something similar to bitcoin in the past.
Do you think our ageing parents are into crypto investment or trading? Some of them are sound and intelligent and they can comfortable operates their tabs while relaxing. If they're probably into crypto why are some of them advising their children to diseased from internet?
Let's see brilliant opinion
There is no age requirement when it comes to crypto I know some people who are on those year that you've mention, and they are earning pretty well in crypto. If you are a parent you would also know why most of us are advising our kids to stay away as much as they could to the internet so that they could live a normal life. We experience a lot of things before the internet we enjoyed our younger years playing and having physical activities not just playing games while sitting the whole day. We want our kids to have physical activity so that they wouldn't get sick because of being couch potato. |

So many FUD coming out these days so I am certain that it would really go lower.
I am waiting for it to happen and saving up to buy some when it reach the price that I am setting for.
I am trying to cut some unnecessary expenses just to save up for this one and I know that it would all be worth it.

It depends on what kind of alt-coins we are talking about?
Because I don't really mind investing on some alt-coins, it is just that most of the newest alt-coins tends to fall easily and it is too risky that is why I am avoiding it.
Those are like high risk high return kind of investment, If I would risk my money I want it to be on the ones that has already been tested and had proven from time to time that they could withstand the crypto storms.

A lot of things already happened to me and I didn't know that it has laready been that long.
To be honest I experienced a lot of things because of crypto, my first investment, first time losing my money on investment, and also first time earning from my investments.
Cryptocurrency had changed my life it also open ups and let me learn a lot of things through those experiences.

Gambling is for the strong and sturdy.
I got this caption based on what happened when I visited an old friend of mine as it's been long since we saw, and so, after a little time out together with random discussions I discovered a sudden change in his mood while we're still chatting. With a steady look on his phone in his hands for about a minute or more as he scrolled up and down the phone screen repeatedly he shrouded his shoulders with a simultaneous regrettable look all over his face.
I took the phone from him only to learn that my friend has been calculating the whole series of losses he has made from all the bets he has placed from one of the gambling site he patronize. He had made a multiples of losses in almost all the games he had placed bet on right from the start of this year, even to the current bet of that very day.
But then he asked me' bro assuming I had gathered all these money I have lost through gambling and channeled it into some sort of a little business or project, wouldn't it have been better! At that moment I never knew the exact word to give to him as I never expected such deep a question, for the least I replied him was "hmm I can't really say".
With this, I wondered if other person's here in the forum that are into gambling too has at any point in time thought or felt that way, particularly when the losses are becoming overwhelming. And in that case, should such person stop gambling and rather divert such monies into something else since he/she ain't making corresponding wins or more, checking his bet history, Or he should carry on with hopes that winnings will start creeping in someday gradually?
To be honest I also felt it before when I was gambling. If I accumulated all of it and just invest it on crypto or hold it instead of gambling it, I could have saved up some money, to spend on aomething much more important. That is also the reason why I keep on creating new accounts back then when I want to gamble so I couldn't back track all of the money that I gamble, cause I know that if I would compute it or look back to it I would just regret it if I would ever lose. |

It has always been confusing to those who doesn't know how crypto or Bitcoin really works.
Most of the newbie's that had talked to me thought that Bitcoin was Ponzi scheme investment and asked how much profit am I getting per week or month.

I had a friend who saw me gamble before and enjoyed it and saw how much profit I got from those games, then he insisted that I should play with his money and I told him so many times that it is better if he would play it on his own so he tried a couple of game before handing it over to me.
When I played with his money I was slowly winning then I joke around that we should go all in and he told me to do it and we end up losing on that exact round.
It felt like the site was only making us win at small bets and waiting for us to go all in.

I always feel mad or sad it is mixed emotion but when I sell my crypto I accept that I really needs to let it go, because when I sell my crypto it just means that I don't have any choice left.
I wouldn't sell my crypto if there is another choice for me, I want to keep them as much as I could.
It is nice to know that I am not the only who feels that they are selling their crypto against their plan or will.

I have lived most of my life working all day, the only free day I have is on Sundays, whenever I promised my cousins a visit on holidays I always fail, I have no time to go on holidays and I always end up making less money, with all the hard work.
Many people are into crypto for materialistic things, like cars, houses, etc but the best Gift I have attained from Bitcoin investment is free time, to live my life, finally.
Bitcoin investment makes me feel alive once again, after so many years of a nonstop workaholic life, now I have enough time to think, travel, rest, go on holidays, spend time with families and still make more money than I used to when I was a workaholic.
Now I can do everything I have always wanted, time is not on anyone's side and if you spend all your days on some hard jobs working and working you won't notice how fast time is running and you will age so fast in the process.
I remember I got so sick after going from one job to another, I ended up spending a lot of money on my health, I got so thing and my immune system got drained too, you might end up making millions and spending half of that to get back in shape, always remember, health is wealth.
Whatever you do, make sure you live your life like someone who is truly alive and breathing, if you are in any hard jobs that's draining your life away right in front of your eye, you need to put a stop to it.
I want all the good flashy things in life but the best gift I have now is free time, and Bitcoin makes this possible, I don't know about others and I can't talk for others but, to me, Bitcoin is Freedom.
Well we can't argue with that TIME is the most valuable thing but other's can't see it or appreciate it. Without time those money that we earn are just for bills and we can't enjoy our life. Crypto has given us a chance to earn on our own, to make money on our own time our own schedule. |

Since we are talking about crypto wallet not just Bitcoin then I have a couple of wallets that I use.
For example the one that I used for storing my crypto for a long term, and the wallet that I use for small transactions or regular transactions.
I also have some wallet for different plat forms.

Gambling, like everything that surrounds us, does not exist by itself, they exist because it is natural for a person to try his luck, but if it goes so far that the player is completely immersed in them, then of course others looking at him will say "perhaps gambling is really bad if they bring it to this". However, there are moments in life, you can have fun and at the same time get the opportunity to win while in an online casino or at a slot machine, but this does not mean that gambling is good. It's like a weapon with which it's nice to spend time in a shooting range or on a shooting range, but when a war starts, no one says that weapons are to blame for this.
It is how you explained it and for me it is really accurate. Gambling doesn't exist by itself those who surrounds it are the ones keeping it alive. And it is true we could see it in both good and bad ways it would ony depends on how we use it or see it. Some peope tend to gamble to relax have fun, while other's are doing it out of their addiction which destroys their own life. |

If you were told the outcome of a soccer match, hours before the match was scheduled, and you were assured that it would 100% win, how much would you be willing to bet on it? Assuming it was a 100% can’t lose situation.
Assuming you had millions of dollars that you could put on the match, where would you place the bets? Bookies often limit players. How could one successfully place millions of dollars in bets without drawing up suspicions or having their money frozen? Just curious.
Since it is a 100% win then I would max out my bet as much as I could. Every bookie has their limit's so if you want to max out your Bet you should register it to several bookie to be able to bet the Million dollar that you have. But hypothetically if it was me I wouldn't really trust that there is a 100% chance of winning on all sorts of games and sports specially if those are official match. |
