661  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Careful scammers and hackers using mail spoofing on: October 23, 2023, 08:05:51 PM
I completely agree with you about being cautious when it comes to emails claiming that you have won Bitcoin or other rewards. These are often phishing scams attempting to trick individuals into revealing personal information or clicking on harmful links. Deleting such emails is the right thing to do.

It's unfortunate that many people have fallen victim to these types of scams. Sharing your experiences and education on avoiding scams can indeed be helpful for newcomers and others who may not be familiar with the risks. By raising awareness and promoting safe online practices, we can collectively work towards reducing the number of people affected by these scams.

always be cautious with your personal information online and continually stay informed about potential threats.   



It is good to be careful and avoid this type of scams, but can we completely avoid them?
Scammers are always doing more research to create more ways to scam people through emails. I think the best thing to do if you want to be free and have less worries about these type of phishing scams is to avoid sharing any of your sensitive information in your emails, or stop saving anything important related to cryptocurrency in the  email.
662  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Urgent Help] Please legit check the platform Idexop.vip on: October 23, 2023, 07:51:26 PM
Hi everyone!

I was putting some money to trade in the crypto platform called Idexop.vip, and I got some profit.

Now, I want to cash out some profits but the customer service won’t let me do it.

They asked me to deposit money (20% of my profit gain) in to the platform (they said this is for taxes on my capital gain), so that I could cash out my current assets in the platform. Also, I have to submit the deposit within 15 days. Failure to do that will lead to account freezing and daily fund loss.

Have anybody used this platform befẻoe?

Please help me check it out if this activity is trusted or not.

Thank you.
This is a scam website/platform mate, no any legit trading platform will ask you to deposited some percentage of your profit for tax before allowing you to withdraw your money.

You have already made a mistake and it should serve as lesson to you, this is just the beginning because we learn from experience.
As from today,
Trust no one in crypto
Don't invest in any platform you don't know
Don't be greedy
Finally, learn first before you start involving yourself in crypto.

I haven't been here for long but I have taken my time to read through some of the important conceptions about Bitcoin, and with my little knowledge, I really know that Bitcoin is a good means of investment if I can hold it from now till dear life.
Not until late in life, mate, but it is a good investment that is significantly superior to any other cryptocurrency investment. I prefer bitcoin investing to FOREX trading because it is less risky and you have the guarantee of holding it for a long time because those who have been holding it since 2009 have gained a lot of money and bitcoin is continuing growing reputation and recognition throughout the world.

I have a little business that I am doing so far, and I would like to accept Bitcoin in my business, but I don't have enough ideas about Bitcoin. That's why I want to learn more, but truth be told, it's good to practice while learning.
While learning about Bitcoin, I will have to practice it little by little with the little money that I can afford.
Accepting bitcoin payments will make you love bitcoin even more. I recommend that you set some money away and store all of the bitcoin you receive from customers so that you may progressively accumulate your bitcoin.

All of us who are involved in cryptocurrency have heard and know to some extent about investing and trading.But I know that there are risks in investing and trading.To do these you need to know some basic things and gain experience.The main difference between investing and trading is the investment period, methodology, risk-taking propensity. Whether you are an investor or a trader depends on your financial needs and investment goals. Investing is long-term and involves low risk, while trading is short-term and involves high risk. Both methods can be profitable if the right strategy is adopted.
Which one is better if I want to invest and trade bitcoins.


The decision of what to do between trading and investing is yours, provided that you are aware of the risk involved.

Long-term bitcoin investment has advantages over short-term investments because it entails less risk and requires less knowledge of the market and charts for cryptocurrencies; you only need to learn how to keep your bitcoin secure in your wallet, as opposed to trading, which necessitates that you understand the fundamentals of market movement, charts, and various strategies to prevent excessive loss.
665  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: High cost of commodities on: October 22, 2023, 07:11:03 AM
As we approach the festive season...prices of things have really gone up...from food items... clothing..even household items and there is less flow of cash
What could be the actual cause? ...will the average Nigerian survive it? Well we only hope for a better tomorrow
Lack of proper price management, high demand, and inflation are the main cause of these price hike in every festive periods in Nigeria.

The average Nigerians have been surviving it for long because this is not the first time it is happening in Nigeria, but we hope for change this time even though the inflation is high, and the dollar to Naira exchange rate is also not favorable which has been affecting the price of goods because even the transportation of the goods is been affected as the price of deiseal and PMS that are majorly use for transportation is also high.


The main causes of the high price rate of commodities in Nigeria at the end of the year include increased demand during festival season, supply chain distribution due to transportation challenges, and seasonal fluctuations affecting agricultural products, which can be controlled. For instance, companies in Nigeria reduce the amount of goods and commodities they produce at the end of the year, and that is the time when demand is high, which is also applicable to the petroleum sector. The main factors that cause the high cost of commodities are solutions and mechanisms to control this, which include improving infrastructure, promoting local production, and also implementing an effective supply chain. Also,  this will be done by the government, which controls the fuel price, and it should be enough to supply various parts of the country.
You are right; the Nigerian government can control all these but they need seriousness and time because the damage has been made already and to providr solution take so many stages and steps, and we citizens need to contribute as well.

Nigerian government has abandoned one of the easiest and less expensive means of transportation which is through train; now that petroleum products are expensive, coal might be affordable and the train transportation is safer than road. If we have been using both of the for long, the government would have alternative ways to provide proper solution to the problem.

Nevertheless, if our Nigerian Refineries can start to refine crude oil, all these hardship will be reduced as the price of petroleum products will reduce which will have effect in almost all prices of goods.
666  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there a formula for Bitcoin starters? on: October 22, 2023, 06:50:08 AM

As experienced investors are there measures that can be imbibed by new investors with little capital to help boast their capital. Some will want to mention patience which I will agree to but in situations where the money is needed to meet an emergency need how to you tackle such situations. Your formula might be a saving approach.
Patience cannot be skipped out of these because it is actually needed to keep your investment moving. With the little capital you have, if you have patience, you will get a good profit after some time.
 
But if you stand up and look for work to do that will be given some money, then you will set aside some percentage of your income for bitcoin investment through the DCA method, or if you can keep the money for a certain amount before investment, that is also fine, but the DCA method will give you a greater advantage in investing in bitcoin without stress.
667  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Importance of emotion while trading on: October 22, 2023, 06:34:43 AM
First of all, I don't think this thread belongs here since you are talking about trading; it should be well fitted in the trading discussion section of the forum.


Here are some ways to control these emotions:

1. Don't expect much profit. For example: You think that you will become rich by investing in a coin.
2. After you have invested in a coin, you find that for some reason it has gone down in the market. At this time, without being emotional, you first look at the condition of the token, what condition it is in, and then take a decision with a cool head.
3. Avoid revisiting a coin after investing. You place a sell order with a specific target.
4. Trade according to market conditions. Don't immediately invest in someone's words.
5. Stay calm and try to control temporary emotions.
All these happen when you are a trader or have invested in altcoins.
 
Invest in bitcoin and have peace of mind. There are high risks associated with altcoin trading and investment, but after all, if you have good knowledge and trading experience, you will understand what it takes to control your emotions. Although your advice is correct, learn and understand the basic concept of the crypto market to reduce the risk of losing too much money.
668  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Currency nature of Bitcoin on: October 22, 2023, 06:24:24 AM
The world is still deciding what Bitcoin does as well as how is should be classified, after it's inception twelve years ago . Practically, Bitcoin isn't isolated from the traditional banking system because its price is supported by USD bank liquidity making its trade as a speculative asset rather than a currency.

Bitcoin value is not supported by any currency like USD or so, it has its value and it remain the same, just that the other currencies that is been related to it is to estimate its value when converting it to any fiat currency, USD is mostly used because it is a currency that is famous and mostly used world wide.


Quote
Satoshi Natamoto envisioned Bitcoin as an alternative to traditional fiat currencies. If Bitcoin had been trading on its core value proposition - the ability to be your own bank - then Bitcoin would have rallied with rising bank uncertainty

After all, Bitcoin network suffers from scalability issues and high transaction fees, leading many to believe that Bitcoin is more of a store of value than an alternative form of cash. With Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, we're faced with a more futuristic form of money
Bitcoin is an alternative currency to fiat that store value and it kick against banking monetary system because you will control your money your self.
Again, it is not been affected by inflation like other fiat currencies, therefore, I will like you to learn more about Bitcoin.

Real Madrid team is not in a state to flog Arsenal now as you are thinking because they only have vast Champions League experience more than Arsenal because they are the team with highest Champions League trophy in the world and Arsenal did not have even one, but that should not be used to judge Arsenal case now because Arsenal team is more reliable than Real Madrid team that was struggling to win matches in Laliga just because some players were injured.
In fact, real madrid has winning mentality and arsenal didn't have it. How can you say that if arsenal is more reliable than real madrid? You compare 16 times winners of UCL trophies to the 0 UCL trophy and call 0 UCL trophy does better performance than 16 times winners of UCL trophies.
It sounds non sense to thing about that. Arsenal was just going back again to the UCL after arsenal absent from playing in the UCL for a few years.
We shall also be honest if arsenal is not having winning mentality. Arsenal could not even won europa league. It doesn't even make sense to call this as a reliable club. Over rated club. Which real madrid players are injury now?
Vini has been coming back to play in real madrid. El real is laughing at you with 16 UCL trophies by calling as arsenal a better club.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
I make reference to current performance and form in their respective domestic Leagues this season and even last season because we all know how difficult Real Madrid is finding it to win matches back then when some of their players were injured.

Making reference to Champions League, I made it clear that Real Madrid is the most experienced team in the Champions league history, but still at that they are yet to beat Arsenal in the Champions League even though they met in some limited time.

yes I now that Arsenal are yet to win any EUROPEAN trophy but that is not related to my discussion because I am saying the fact based on history of the matches Arsenal and Real Madrid have played together.
670  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What do you Think is the Right Advice to Give to this Young Chap? on: October 20, 2023, 10:44:25 AM

Please, guys, what is the best way to respond to this question? Do you advise I tell him to take up a second job and work very hard to save up and invest in bitcoin instead of selling the precious metal that has been in his family for years because it is good to hold both gold and bitcoin? Do you advise I tell him to continue the family tradition and also pass down the gold to his children, just as his father and father's father did before him? Or that it is okay to sell off the gold and invest in bitcoin because after the halving, he would be able to buy twice as much gold as he has now? What do you think is the right advice to give to this young chap?


Because the gold is a family gold, your student should make this decision on his own and confer with family members.
If you advise him to sell the gold and invest the proceeds in bitcoin, you should be responsible for teaching him everything he needs to know about bitcoin, wallets, private keys, and so on, as well as how to secure his private key to avoid losing the bitcoin he purchased. If you cannot take on all of this responsibility, you should advise him to do additional research and know what to do next because it is family gold.

Do you know that some newbies are really not newbies? They know better than some high ranked members and is really hard to tell who's really a newbie because these days I believe members are on disguise just to play a game of hide and seek, like not letting out their identity.
So in this case the suppose "newbies" have the knowledge of either trading and other stuff you think they're suppose to learn, and learning is for everyone no matter your rank, a newbie can educate you on what you feel you know much better.
There are newbies that new to cryptocurrency entirely and this forum might be their first place to have access to learning something legit about bitcoin and crypto, if such newbies ask question, it is always good to help and support them because that is the sole purpose of this forum. On the other hand, there are newbies to this forum but have some experience and knowledge about bitcoin and crypto trading, they are just here to build account and interact with other crypto experts on somethings related bitcoin.

Creating new thread by some newbies to be teaching or given guide on somethings they are suppose to be learning in the forum is mostly for the sake of merits to rank up because some of them think that we must create thread that help the forum members in order to get merits and rank up.

Real Madrid is not a small team Arsenal will not be afraid of because, they have heard what Real Madrid is doing in the la Liga league and other tournament which they can still do those things to flog Arsenal with many goals to cause fear to other teams in that group. Real Madrid must break the record  in this game to beat Arsenal to make people believe that things has changed in this season because their management has signed in so much talented players that will make the game favour Real Madrid. If wolves can beat Manchester city in the premier league to surprised people, I believe something like that will surely happen in this game that will make Real Madrid to achieve what they have never achieve before in the champion league.
Real Madrid team is not in a state to flog Arsenal now as you are thinking because they only have vast Champions League experience more than Arsenal because they are the team with highest Champions League trophy in the world and Arsenal did not have even one, but that should not be used to judge Arsenal case now because Arsenal team is more reliable than Real Madrid team that was struggling to win matches in Laliga just because some players were injured.

I will love it too so Real Madrid can get Arsenal all embarrassed.  Arsenal  is not that club that wants to face Madrid. Real Madrid  will face Sevilla soon in days coming and Arsenal will face Sevilla in the Champions League let's all measure  the strength used against Sevilla and how Sevilla play against each of this sides.
Arsenal  have come a long way this season but it doesn't look good comparing Champions of Champions in Europe to a club that had its best season and still won nothing put some respect to Real Madrid. They are not to be compared with Arsenal.
What should be Arsenal fear to face Real Madrid?

Sevilla match should not be what will determine the difference because both Arsenal and Real Madrid will win Sevilla, therefore, that should not be the measure for Arsenal ability to beat Real Madrid.

Arsenal has been one of the hard team for Real Madrid to defeat because their match records tells a lot about how Arsenal were good when it comes to playing match against Real Madrid, they defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League in 2005/2006 Champions League Semi finals and they also have some winning record against Real Madrid in the Emirate cup. And the form Arsenal is now, I don't think Real Madrid can find it easy to beat Arsenal.

Here is the odds



The chance owned by liverpool to win the game is very big. Liverpool has 70% probability to win the game compared with everton. The chance for this match to be draw is pretty small atm.
There are no great defenders in everton who can stop nunez, salah and diaz. These trio were playing so well since early season. The lost against totenham was only luck caused by VAR was doing mistake.

The performance against brighton needs to be evaluated and im thinking if jurgen aware about that. We may see nunez to play as a striker again. I would like to see liverpool to go fully attack against everton. The next game gonna be happening in anfield.

It gives liverpool more advantage to win the game compared with everton.  

Over 2.5 , liverpool win are good choices.
Liverpool is a big team and they are in form this season compared to last season.
They know how to defeat Everton if you check their match records, Everton just played one draw and lose one match against Liverpool, while Liverpool won more than four times against Everton both home and away; Although their respective League performance in their five matches looks similar but that did not stop Liverpool from winning the match because they need to get back to the title race with Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester City.

From the past Neymar is a player who is prone to injury even while at PSG had a long injury, expensive players with deficiencies like this will clearly harm the club that signed him, especially Al Hilal now.

Rumor: Neymar's injury can be up to 9 months to rest while what Al Hilal invested so much in him, yes this is an injury when playing with Brazil which does not mean when playing for the Al Hilal club this is of course a big loss for his fans.

I'm not sure when he comes back he'll be back to his normal form, he's old, his fitness is weak and he's bound to get injured again.
It is a usual thing for Neymar since his time in Barcelona, he is an injury prone player and that is the reason why his football skills did not win him so many things the way other talented and experience players do win; he is also a player that like skills even in a serious situation where skills in not necessary and that one is the reason why he get kicked most times and it leads to injury.

Al Hilal signed him just to provide competition for teams like Al Nassr that signed Ronaldo and Al Ittihad that signed Benzema, they did not care about Neymar's injury record and now it has happened because he might be out for so long probably out of the season.
677  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 18, 2023, 08:52:02 PM

El Clasico matches are always difficult to predict, but every team playing at home probably has an advantage that can be exploited. Barcelona is playing at home, so they should be able to use their home advantage to win El Clasico. But there is no guarantee about who will win it, that's because the competition between the two teams is fierce.
In the last five El Clasico matches, the home team is not always the winning team because in their last encounter, Barcelona won four and three of these wins were at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Real Madrid won one, which was the Copa del Ray, at Camp Nou. This shows that the match is always unpredictable because your home may not favour you unless you played very well.


Quote
Several of Barcelona's main players have not been convinced to appear in El Clasico, including Lewandowski, De Jong, Raphinha and Pedri. Real Madrid has superior squad depth if the 4 Barcelona players are declared absent, but Barcelona is a team that is also difficult to predict because their mentality is getting better.
Even all Barcelona's full squad were presence in the match, I trust Real Madrid team this season due to their form, and Madrid will be willing start taking revenged for losing consecutively against Barcelona.
678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 18, 2023, 08:28:42 PM
We will start the new week with the Liverpool-Everton match. I expect Liverpool to make no mistakes in this match. It seems normal to expect them to defeat the opponent with scores like 2-0, 3-1.
Liverpool at Anfield is a team that looks almost impossible to defeat; in addition, they are now in form and are willing to compete for the Premier League title; therefore, I expect them to beat Everton by two or more goals because they are trying to recover after the draw they played against Brighton in their last Premier League match before the break.


Quote
Manchester City will host Brighton at home. City staggered a bit in the race with 2 consecutive defeats in the league but they will recover. They have a tough opponent in front of them and if they can overcome this obstacle, they will enter an important recovery phase for themselves.
This match is a must-win for Manchester City because they have gone two Premier League games without winning, which results in them dropping to the third spot in the Premier League table, two points behind Arsenal and Tottenham, so winning this match will be of help for them to recover because they have high-intensity matches ahead of them.


Quote
Another important match of the day will be the Chelsea-Arsenal clash. Chelsea have been winning for the last 2 weeks and they seem to be slowly coming back to themselves. Arsenal will not want to be defeated in this tough away game. I think Arsenal will not lose.
The match will not be easy to predict because both teams need to score three points to maintain their standing.
Chelsea will want to prove to the world that they have fully recovered, while Arsenal will want to keep their consistency and focus on winning all their matches in order to have an advantage in winning the title this season.
679  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 18, 2023, 06:26:01 PM
Onana is having hard time at United but that doesn't make him a bad goalkeeper, plus after having a few bad games, players tend to get worse because of lack of morale and he may have lost his focus. When you try to go "this game I am going to be better and not screw up" the chances of you screwing up increases, because you are too focused on not making a mistake and that makes you make a mistake even more.

Onana is trying his best, but he is having a bad time at Manchester United because of high expectations from the fans of Manchester United. Apart from that, most Manchester United fans are not happy with the departure of Da Gea. That is why all eyes are on Onanan’s performance so that they can have evidence to prove Ten Hag wrong with his decision to let De Gea go even after he had a great season last year.


Quote
Stress on these players are at all time high and they did fine last year, finished third and he is one of the new guys, he will be thinking all these fans are saying they were third with de gea and they are terrible with Onana, so that makes him worried too. All these combined makes him even worse, but normally he was fine last year.
The fans are right because they want the best for the team that is why they want the manager to be making the right decisions and not to be using his emotions to chase players out of the team.
680  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 18, 2023, 06:15:56 PM

A club like Dortmund must change its policy regarding player transfers if it wants to challenge defending champions Bayern Munchen. Because expecting Munchen to have a bad season is not a good idea and we know it is difficult to happen, they have a large budget to strengthen the depth of the squad in each transfer window. I am really looking forward to Xabi Alonso being able to provide a surprise this season to break Munchen dominance, when seeing that their meeting at the Allianz Arena was a draw, it seems that this is very likely to happen this season.
I have stopped believing in Dortmund since some years ago, when they sold Aubameyang, Jordan Sancho, and finally Serling Haaland and Jude Bellingham. Since then, I know that they are not serious Bundesliga title contenders, and that was Bayern winning the league last season even though Dortmund fought hard to the last match. Had it been they had players like Haaland in the team, they couldn’t have lost their chance of winning the Bundesliga title last season because Bayern was not in form.


Quote
However, apart from Laverkusen increasing performance, other Bundesliga clubs are also worthy enough not to be underestimated. Even though we know that in the end they will also lose points if they meet Bayern Munchen.
Since Dortmund are not willing to strengthen their team to compete fiercely for the title, I am glad that Bayern Leverkusen are here this season to provide a challenging opponent for Bayern. I am confident that Alonso will make every effort to ensure that this occurs because he is at the peak of his ability to become one of the best coaches this season.
