621  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Owning several accounts and bypassing proxiban. on: February 22, 2024, 10:29:48 PM
I have come across several posts were I discover that so many people create an account and labour till it attains a senior member rank(high profile) and then create a new one which they will nurse till it also matures. I also heard about getting whitelisted for free where the proxiban fee meant for the amount of evil is bypassed. I want to know if it is allowed for one to own more than one account and if one can register without the evil fee?


I believe you've already gotten the answers you needed from members of the forum that replied to your post about allowing alt account and registration without evil fee, I actually don't even know there's something called evil fee because I have never attempted to open another account but having gotten opinion from users here on how one can bypass the proxiban fee I now begin to wonder why is it that users who have alt accounts doesn't link it with each other so that the forum members can be aware of the owner of the alt maybe like give a neutral feedback indicating that the other account is his alt, the only person I've observed and saw he has an alt account of which he gave a neutral feedback that showed the connection of the both accounts is @hugeblack.

He has made it very obvious that he has an alt account which is fare enough for every one to see rather than some persons that has an alt and pretends to be someone else like I don't even know how a user can use an alt account to hide their identity for so long.

~~~

The Nigerian currency have been experiencing depreciation for a long time now and it is an issue of concern to her citizen as the devaluation has led to inflation and untold hardship on the people as every one is lamenting about the state of the Nigerian economy, though the cause of the devaluation has not really been specified and I must suggest that you move this topic to the Nigerian local board since the question is for Nigerians in the forum to answer and I believe you would get answers there rather than get it in this session.

not all people will nice to you, but if all of them not nice to you, it means there's something wrong with you.

I think you're obviously right because there's no way all your family or friends will ignore you totally without it being that that person is either mentally unstable or has a questionable character that made his loved ones discard his chats and don't care anymore about him so he should rather cross-examine himself to know actually what the cause might be and since he said they don't reply his chats he should get in touch with them facially and know the reasons for their actions then he would probably find out why they kept ignoring his chats and all that.
624  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Forex Crisis: FG plans to clampdown on Binance, and other crypto exchanges on: February 21, 2024, 09:17:01 PM
If the government like let them clampdown binance P2P there are still other exchanges that people would use to perform their p2p transactions so when one door closes, another opens, clamping down exchanges would not stop the devaluation of naira as they need to focus more on the root cause of naira devaluation for so many years now because our government knows the foundational causes of naira devaluation so until they cover that loophole then our currency would continue to suffer devaluation.

 I binance succumbs to these idea of the government then they would be the ones at a greater loss because a lot of Nigerians uses binance as their most preferred exchange so dancing to the tune of the government would further lead to reduction of the number of Nigerians that uses binance for their p2p transactions.
625  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: February 21, 2024, 09:07:41 PM
Does any of feel behavioral change in you based on the win/loss in gambling. Myself had experienced it, and personally I used to be happy and I used to be polite with my family members and kid whenever I am on profit. On the day of losing it changes exactly in the opposite way, even for simple things I get much anger. Particularly while giving food to kid patience is must. On winning days I let him take his own time and eat. On the losing days I used to shout at him. I'm addicted, and I want fellow gamblers to make a self analysis at regular interval and be on the safer side.

This attitude is very common among gamblers as some persons can even become aggressive when they are experiencing losses then in a case of winning they become so happy as some of them can even share part of the winnings with other gamblers around them, gambling shouldn't be played with emotions whether you win or not and one shouldn't be too emotionally attached to gambling such that any outcome of it would affect the gambler.
626  Economy / Economics / Re: I went London i have questions now the wealthy life there on: February 19, 2024, 03:02:59 AM
So far as I know, there is no report that there is a major crisis in London, UK, right now. Now, if you ask me if it is easy to survive there in that country, I think if you are not strategic, you will have a hard time surviving there. Because the cost of living there is too high now.

Properties and rentals are also expensive in London, and you know that. But there are many opportunities that you can find there that will suit your career.

It's easy to survive in London because no matter the high cost of living over there, there is also high employment rate and good payments so as you're earning higher that's also how your expenses would be higher but whichever way it is let the income be coming then even if you spend huge and live a good life I think it's the dream of every one to live in a comfortable environment that the atmosphere is filled with people who are happy and succeeding and i must tell you that London is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

When a nation plans very well, then developments and huge achievements awaits them so I believe that the government of London really made good efforts to make London what it is today and any country can achieve even more than London if they make good use of their natural resources and invest more on human capacity development and in less than no time, such country would really grow "thicker skin" as an evidence of good and healthy living.
627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can a betting shop be so dubious like this on: February 19, 2024, 02:13:06 AM
The betting platform is not to be blamed as the victim gambled using a betting agent? But he went to their betting site headquarter with no help given.

He used the betting agent of the betting platform to gamble and he won $11800 when I converted the local currency to dollar. He said the owner of the betting shop travelled abroad but he met the workers. The workers wanted to scam the man by not giving him any money.

The people involved that wanted to scam the man have been taken to court. They were granted bail with two sureties and the case has been adjourned to match 4 2024.

Some people are just very dubious

https://punchng.com/bet-naija-attendant-friend-arraigned-for-allegedly-stealing-n16-7m

That's why online gambling is also good because you don't need anyone to pay you your winnings as you can just make withdrawals on your own without anyone even knowing though I also learnt that when a winning involves a huge amount of money that the gambler would undergo KYC on the online platform and do some verification and some gamblers also experienced that some KYC information takes longer time before validation so it's really frustrating when one wins a bet and finds it difficult to get his/her winning and most of this gambling companies are very dubious as what some of them does is to delay winnings and wait for a massive loss so that they can pay you from losses of other gamblers.
628  Economy / Speculation / Re: 60k possible before end of this month? on: February 19, 2024, 02:00:44 AM
From the look out of things there is no doubt that $60k is sure before the end of this month February reason being that bitcoin has surpasses the price of 50k and headed to $52k if I am not mistakenly and you can correct me if I am wrong.  
Also does this proves the idea of most people saying that bitcoin could hit half a million dollars after the halving by 2025, does this sign proves it right?

Though I don't know much about what causes the movement of Bitcoin price but from my findings I get to understand that the number of spot Bitcoin ETFs flows also determines the velocity of Bitcoin price so speculating the price of Bitcoin by month end to be around $60k is rather too close because the inflows may not really be that much so I suggest your speculations should be towards a longer time instead of a shorter interval.
629  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Why social media influencer is a danger to our newbies on: February 13, 2024, 09:34:13 AM
We are in a computer age now where awareness about things happening around us are being gotten earlier and it is necessary for us to have a clear understanding about whatever thing any influencer or celebrity is trying to entice the public to do. Of a recent, I now observed that they now use celebrities for their promotions and advertisement in other to lure people that what they are talking about is genuine because since it's a celebrity that everyone knows it would be difficult for the system to be fraudulent because people feels that a celebrity can not compromise their reputation but despite that, everyone that has been accessing social media should know fully well that the use of influencers and celebrities to promote some online stuffs is just a strategy to persuade people to be involved, and those influencers doesn't really care about their reputation as all they're after is the money they would get in the promotions and advertisement.

Though there are still people that gives good information on wealth creation platforms not really because they have made it through but because they also have that intention of people joining them in what they are doing as well because when more people are involved in something, it makes the system to get trust and recognition and more people will be interested unlike when it's only few people that are involved as others would be afraid of joining because they may feel that the few people are working together in their own benefits as joining them may be risky.
630  Other / Off-topic / Re: Day school or boarding school which is better for your child? on: February 11, 2024, 08:35:31 AM
personally love boarding school only when it is a Military boarding school. I love it for my son even though he has his own choice but for the period I get to make decisions for him he will attend a military boarding school.

I have lots of people around me that inspired me to make such decisions… it’s not necessary my son has to join the force later in his future, but I personally love the kind of discipline they instill.

Or could I be wrong?

Be it day school or boarding school it's dependent on the quality of teaching being given to the child because actually the child isn't going to school because of the building but rather to get educated and if I was to choose I think the day school is better because it exposes one's child to things happening in the environment unlike boarding school that the children's movement are restricted though it tends to give the child more discipline but it makes a child become so dull as they feel like they're caged in one place for a long time without getting access to family or other people as they are stucked among themselves
631  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who is a boss? on: February 11, 2024, 08:19:57 AM
So many people misinterprete boss. To me a person that add value to your life is to be quantified as boss. But many people classified there boss as someone that usually give them money always without showing them a way to succeed. Some people classify boss as a person who is an expert in womanizing. Because he always connect you to classic babes. There is a guy in my area that always post his his boss on social media praising him always. But I haven't seen any impact his boss has added to his life. So the thought keeps me wondering who should be called a boss?

It is very bad how people call someone a boss simply because they get financial assistance from them. A boss to me is someone that understands the importance of your well being and also make sure that you're doing something useful with your life, guides you on how you will go in other to succeed in life, advices you when you ain't going the right direction and always check up on you to know your activities and also takes part in making you to become useful in life.
632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: February 11, 2024, 08:11:56 AM
Gambling an activity for fun also has the chance to turn someone's fortune. Calculated risk when taken in gambling can be the way to big wins from gambling. Who do you think should take more risk in gambling? The rich gambler or the gambler who is not yet rich.

None should take higher risk because what is applicable to the rich in gambling is also same with an average or a poor gambler, the only difference is that the rich can bear the outcome of his loss whereas the average man doesn't because his hopes is bestowed on a risk being taken but no matter what, no body should take higher risk because even the rich has higher risk of feeling the pain because a huge amount is at staked whereas the average man risk the little he has and when a rich man losses huge amount of money to gambling it affects their psychological health and due to high risk that are mostly taken by the rich people causes the rate of high blood pressure to be on the increase among rich people.
633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Taking a break in gambling on: February 11, 2024, 08:03:36 AM
How do you guys manage to take a break in gambling? I’m not asking for advice but rather I’m just interested to know what you are doing on your own or if you really do a break.

I recently decided to take a break since I want to hold my crypto due to its increasing value and I don’t to spend it while it’s giving me passive profit. I just claiming bonus now or anything that is free to still enjoy gambling without risking my money.

What is the instances that makes you take a break in gambling?



Though I'm not a gambler but I've been around people that gambles and I can tell that it's really difficult for them to take a break because they feel that they may miss their chances of winning if they go on a break. The only people that can be able to take a break or rather quit gambling is people that are new into it and tried their luck in other to win but the winning didn't come as expected as they can easily lose interest and decides to give it some time before they try again.
634  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Does Bitcoin need advertisment? on: February 11, 2024, 06:41:13 AM
Already the news of Bitcoin have been lingering for a very long time now just that a lot of people were doubtful and they termed it as some kind of scam projects that wouldn't stand for a long time like not many few individuals saw Bitcoin going this far so Bitcoin doesn't really need to be publicized all the time, in this modern world that everyone is switching to a digitized system that would make life easy and Bitcoin have proven to be the way out of our financial problems so as day goes by that's how people are being curious to know more about Bitcoin therefore it doesn't needs to be advertised before it can gain more recognition and acceptance.
635  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: February 10, 2024, 05:35:11 PM
You are right because the real reasons why Bitcoin was invented isn't only to stand as an investment strategy but rather to stand as a decentralized medium of performing transactions from person to person (p2p)[/b] directly without involvement of a centralized authority and also to replace the use of fiat so by accumulating bitcoin in other to make profits in the future, we are also acquiring it to stand as a medium of exchange from one person to another.
Please note I am fully aware of the importance of Bitcoin aside from a store of value, though it is used as a P2P transaction or it is also used as medium of exchange. But the fact still remain that Bitcoin holding is very important and should not be underestimated. You can use bitcoin for transaction either P2P or as a medium of exchange of buying and selling. but what more important does it provide again all usage? It is definitely a good store of value. Your monetary with in life is measured by the amount of valuable volatile assets you have which could be you stepping stone in old age. I think when you are talking about bitcoin you should remove you mind in the primary aspect, which is the use for exchange in form of fiat. But think of how important it will be while HODLing for a long time.

How would you feel when you are in your retirement age and your long term bitcoin holding now becomes your redeamer? Because that is exactly what it will be. by then you will no longer think of holding rather using it gradually.


You didn't get my points, talking about p2p isn't about exchanging Bitcoin with fiat but rather as a means of performing transactions with one another, okay after you must have accumulated as many bitcoin as you can will you just leave it their for decoration or remembrance? Not actually as you would also want to use part of it to afford some things you needed in life and you can buy from people that uses Bitcoin as a medium of payment as well that's my point so don't misinterpret what I'm saying when I talk about p2p because I'm actually referring to a decentralized system of dealing directly with whom ever I want to do transactions with rather than using centralized medium like the banks and other third party methods.

We are accumulating bitcoin for the future in other for it to stand as medium of exchange of goods and services and also to replace the use of fiat since it is a digital currency so it's only when we have acquired alot in our portfolios that we can make it's adoption become a reality so let's keep accumulating because that's exactly the stage we are in for now.
636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: February 10, 2024, 05:19:33 PM
I'd like to share my experience with you all. Even though I'm not currently employed, I went through a phase of gambling while I was working in the past, and the outcome wasn't positive. It affected my job performance because, as you may know, when you lose, you tend to dwell on your losses and constantly think about strategies to win. When we talk about work, it usually means we're not particularly wealthy, and imagine what happens when we gamble money we can't afford to lose, especially when we're not earning much.


Gambling during working hours isn't that insanity? Because your attention would be divided between your job and the gambling you are playing as it will make you not to concentrate in your work place. No matter the passion you have for gambling never gamble at your workplace as anything that would put your job at a stake should be avoided because that's where you earn your major income from so you shouldn't joke with it all.

Taking alcohol is good but on a moderate level and should be done occasionally not as a habit and the quantity being consumed shouldn't be that much as it also threatens some health problems like high BP,  the immune system becoming too weak as a result of constant consumption, causes cardiovascular diseases and can also affect ones vision so if it most be consumed it should be in lower quantity
638  Economy / Speculation / Re: Best time to buy BTC NOW? on: February 10, 2024, 04:23:56 PM
Yeah, It's a silent time to hold Bitcoin. Now Bitcoin Price is upfront. I hope this season its price will go up by 1 million dollars. It will be beneficial for Bitcoin-loving people. Also, it will be a great chance to buy Bitcoin for new investors. Alts coin also bumping but Bitcoin is safe for investment. Today the price of Bitcoin is $47,200. It's not a poor value but upfront from this value. So, I can say today is the best time for investing in Bitcoin.

Sure the price have been experiencing huge growth for about a couple of days now but speculating the price to reach 1 million dollars this season is laughable as we should only speculate a price that can be achievable rather than making out of eagerness or curiosity.
Some persons will feel it's too late to buy considering the high price now but one should start from somewhere and accumulate some BTC before the halving as it is almost near.
639  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: If Bitcoin was not eligible to give ROI would you still want to own any Bitcoin on: February 10, 2024, 04:16:42 PM
Honestly from the view of things, We can tell that majority of people who are currently into Bitcoin are mostly their for the benefit and purpose of growing their investment portfolio over time.

So where you expecting people that are into Bitcoin to lose, normally every ones intention of owning an investment is for profits and to grow ones wealth as well even though we lose as well sometimes. Majority of people who are rushing to invest in Bitcoin are doing so as a result of the fact that they know that it's value would increase in time coming that is why they are sure they would make some good profits at the end of their investments.
640  Other / Off-topic / Re: The use of mobile phones and a computer for forum discussions. on: February 09, 2024, 09:08:45 PM
If you can afford both phone and laptop is okay so that if you are not in your home you can make use of your phone to log in to the forum then you can use your laptop while at home. Using the laptop more oftenly is preferable because the LCD screen is less hash to the eyes whereas when using phones the light from the screen can really affect one's sight and vision though to me using the phone is more preferable as not every one can handle the keyboard of a computer very fast as compared when handling with mobile devices.
