641  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Glo and it's network wahala on: December 24, 2023, 09:48:14 PM
No be lie na MTN get coverage pass for naija whether village or town if you compare the network connectivity, coverage and services na MTN still pass.
First, MTN changed their slogan from "Everywhere you go" to "What are we doing today", because they know that they are really not everywhere like their slogan claims. MTN can sometimes and in some places as poor as Glo can be. So person for Nigeria need to get like two of more sim cards to be able to switch to the other if one has poor reception.

Glo should invest heavily on mast all over the country like Mtn if them one compete with them
It cost a lot to install a Mast, Service providers have to be sure that they can make back the money they have used to invest in these masts before they approve such a project. Some areas already dominated by other service providers and places with low population are discouraging places to set up masts.

Don’t increase your bet when you are losing because it will just amplify your loss immediately once you are in bad streak. Always test the water before you increase your bet.  Wink 
If you give people this advice, you are endorsing gambling without a budget or a set amount of money. Do not increase bet while gambling, it can be a big trap, in a situation where you increase your bets because you are winning, then loose it all after enjoying a winning streak.

Set a gambling budget each time you want to gamble, do not try to increase it as you gamble, it is not a good practice to gamble without a limit or budget.
643  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between Physical and Online Gambling which makes a person more addicted on: December 24, 2023, 09:07:27 PM
Do you think Online Gambling has the worst potential of making a person addicted?
Comfort is a drug and is very addictive, due to the comfort and ease that it provides. Online casinos generally offer ease of access from anywhere provided that you have an internet access. Physical casinos and gambling places maybe comfortable and easy depending on the distance and location of the place from your home. If it is close to you, there will be ease, if it isn't then it becomes difficult and may affect your decision to gamble always.

Before online gambling, there always have been addicts to gambling. Online gambling merely increased the chances of being addicted and then also the number of persons who can get addicted.

Merry Christmas to @everyone on the BitcoinTalk Forum.
Merry Christmas to everyone in this forum too.

There is usually a lot of pressure to spend because of the festivities of the day. In where I am from, many people will always demand that you celebrate the Christmas for them, which is an indirect way of demanding that you give them money. Sometimes it is difficult to avoid these people, and you may come under the pressure to change some bitcoins out of the budget for fiat to settle these people.

Avoid it! Do not fall under this pressure!!
645  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is Too Expensive For Me. on: December 24, 2023, 07:44:09 PM
The value of Bitcoin has gradually reached great heights. It has become impossible for a new small investor like me to invest in Bitcoin. I am a very small investor. $2k wealth is mine.
If you think bitcoin is too expensive, then be ready to carry to carry the cost of regrets later when you discover that you did not have to wait until you were able to afford 1btc or more before you could own some bitcoins. Many bitcoin holders currently do not have up to one bitcoin in their holding, they are using any free cash they have to purchase as much satoshis as they can because even with their satoshis, they will still be profit from bitcoins although not so much as those with more bitcoins.

Well does Bitcoin provide any opportunity in future that I can invest.
Your opportunity to invest is now.

647  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do casino owners benefit from creating multiple casinos? on: December 22, 2023, 10:19:35 PM
I have noticed that there are multiple casinos in the crypto space owned by the same person or company. I am curious about the reasons behind creating additional casinos when there is already a running and profitable one.
It is a business strategy to dominate the market, so that regardless of the option of casino chosen by a gambler to gamble in, they still will be the the ones to profit. They create the competition with themselves. This business strategy works for some business owners who understand the risk involved, have the capital for it too before engaging in such diversification. But for others who do not understand the risks, and are not sure about the capital, it ends up being a bad choice for them as it will also sink the other casino businesses that they have if they are not lucky.
648  Economy / Gambling / Re: What do you want to see in casino reviews? on: December 22, 2023, 10:05:51 PM
~
Whenever I read the reviews from casino's, I want to see organic comments from people who have actually taken time to write something real and different from the regular cliché comments that can be generated.

I also like to see pages of reviews, not just a few reviews from people who may just happen to be friends or family to the owners of the casino. I believe the more the pages of reviews, the more you can believe in the reviews as organic.
649  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Unknown fact our profitable colleagues won't tell us on: December 22, 2023, 09:58:07 PM
What makes them stands out and make them profitable is the risk to reward ratio, yes I mean 1:3 risk reward ratio.
Risk to reward ratio is only one of such tip from profitable traders, there are some other little things that some of them have learnt from over the years of trading that can only be acquired by experience. From some conversations I have had with traders who have proven results, there is always some new things to learn. Some traders will tell you to set a strong support line at the beginning of the week to observe the trend the market is taking for that week, some will tell you to not trade on too many pairs, etc. the thing is that there is always a personal tip from every trader you meet. The more you meet professional traders and have personal heart to heart conversation with them about trading, the more you learn.

peasant have short memory, they quickly forget all the shady thing done to them...
Have you heard about how the oppressed becomes slaves to their oppressors, that is what happens when someone gets too oppressed for so long. They become so used to it that they cannot do without it because they do not know what else to do. So they rather do not forget, they just ignore, and in worst cases even go ahead to give excuses on behalf of their oppressors. This is a mental problem that require professional help.

It can never be me.
651  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gifted wife with bitcoin money on birthday and wife happily gifted BTC logo on: December 22, 2023, 08:47:23 PM
This year I gifted my wife a hair straightener for her birthday with my invested bitcoins which cost not too much just $20. I have about $200 worth of invested bitcoins from which I spent about $85 on my wife's birthday gift and other stuff. But my wife is very happy to receive this gift from me because I gave her bitcoin money. I told my wife about bitcoin a long time ago she knows and understands well when it comes to bitcoin. He also said to invest in bitcoin with me but because he didn't have enough money he couldn't invest in bitcoin but I continue to invest in bitcoin sometimes buy some amount of bitcoin and try to hold for a long time maybe will continue in future.
Congratulations to your wife on seeing another year, and thanks to God for preserving her life. I imagine that your wife will be very excited at the gifts and the surprise money she got. Excuse and pardon me because it is not like I want to teach you how to spend your own money, but as a better suggestion I advise that you try to open up a business of some sort for your wife, so that she can have some money to continually invest in bitcoins and not just this one time.
652  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another year is going to end. Bitcoin isn't dead on: December 22, 2023, 07:47:13 PM
This summary chart presents a fact that less people wanted to call "Bitcoin is dead" with time. It is an unofficial recognition for survival of Bitcoin.
Every year that bitcoin survives, is slap in the face of critics who wish bitcoins bad and are always quick to say that bitcoins will fail.

 These little disappointments to the predictions of these critics can change the mind of people who use to believe in them and take everything they say very seriously. Every year the number of believers and investors in bitcoins will increase because each new year is a testimony of the credibility of bitcoins.
653  Economy / Economics / Re: Are fast-fashion shopping apps hurting local economy? on: December 21, 2023, 06:26:10 PM
Do you believe that their ridiculously low prices could be hurting the local economy, and why?
It will not affect the local economy because majority of people still buy from local vendors. The prices of fast-fashion shopping apps are low, but together with other additional fees, taxes and delivery, the price will almost be the same as the one sold locally by vendors here so it is discouraging to most locals who are not vendors that buy in bulk, but just want to buy a few things for personal use.

Have you purchased from them?
A few times in the past, but not recently because I tried to buy a tech from the US, It was affordable, but additional fees and taxes have increased. I compared the price with what the local vendors offered, it was not so different. I opted for the local vendors, because it was also pointless to wait for days for delivery when the total cost is not less.

655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has gambling ever whispered you with different strategic prediction measures? on: December 21, 2023, 05:28:34 PM
Then probably sometimes you want to try a new trick by closing your eyes while picking your predictions or hitting the slots.
It is a superstition of some sort, but It can work for some a few times unexpectedly especially in games where a pick needs to be selected, as less sight will make you believe more in fate.

The eyes can generate too many details that will make the decision process to be more difficult than usual. But you cannot close your eyes always and in all games you gamble on, some games even though still based on luck require sight.
656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hard Rock to Hire 400 People Ahead of Rockford Casino Opening on: December 21, 2023, 04:14:11 PM
The question is, are the applicants they will hire also residents of their area, or will they accept other foreigners who will apply for their casino business? The people who were accepted there to work in hard rock were also lucky.
Residents and locals usually have the biggest chances to get these jobs because they have higher consideration. In some places before such a big casino is built, there is usually an arrangement in place between the owners and leaders in the location to ensure that a greater percent of the employment quota be given to locals to ensure that the unemployment rate in their area reduce. There will be opportunity for outsiders and foreigners to get the job, but just a few.

The quota for employment can be 70% locals and 30% foreigners.

Giving to orphans generally have a benefit and blessing attached. It is not only material things that can be given, Knowledge can also be given, Knowledge is even more valuable in some cases than physical gifts.

You have given knowledge to this children who had an unequal opportunity due to them being orphans, you have made sure that they are exposed to the knowledge outside, posterity will reward you for it.
658  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [banned mixer] 🦁 Fantasy Premier League Pool ⚽ Discussion Thread on: December 20, 2023, 07:44:18 PM
I'm beginning to have some doubts about Trippier. He was suspended for gw17 but prior to that, he performed very poorly against Tottenham's attack some weeks back and today, he was the reason why Chelsea won the tie and moved to the EFL semi finals.
I should have kicked Trippier out by now, but I still have Trippier in my team, and will keep him this week against Luton before I even consider subbing him out for another better option. I expect him to redeem himself from the mistakes against Chelsea and deliver good points for me against Luton who cannot be compared to them. It should also be a clean sheet for Martin Dubravka.

Darwin Nunez against Arsenal, Who thinks he is going to blank?

659  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your view on this? Is it fun or addiction? on: December 20, 2023, 06:51:30 PM

The entire message is bad.

Do you see this as addiction or just catching of fun?
We always have to cautious of the groups we find ourselves in because they are not all positive and groups someone concerned for themselves should be in. It slowly starts out as fun, but later will metamorphose into an addiction, and this group that you are in are in is an example of it.

Don't think it's addiction to gamble every weekend, after a stressful week.
From every weekend, it can become an everyday thing.
660  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Succeeded in introducing Bitcoin to a friend on: December 20, 2023, 05:15:05 PM
My question now is that is it wise that I showed him the amount of Bitcoins I have accumulated before he developed interest?
You did well introducing your friend to bitcoin, but it was not a wise move to divulge the details of your current bitcoin balance even though you see the person as friend or family.  We always need to be cautious when we tell people things, so we do not over speak and share the information that is not meant to be shared. You can be friends with someone and they are not friends with you, and also your relationship with someone may not remain the same forever, so always be cautious the information you divulge, sensitive information about yourself can be used to hurt you later.
