6681  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / My Bitcoin Charity Work! FREE BITCOIN COLLEGE on: April 06, 2022, 05:32:31 PM
First, before I start I want to seek your indulgence[/b]
I don't want to bore you guys with plenty speech so I will be brief and direct to the point:
So I decided to take care of some community amenities that have been broken down and need some maintenance since a leave in a remote area where the presence of the government is hardly felt by the citizens so the responsibility of maintaining some key services such like water supply can easily be down due to need for maintenance so I fix it and payment made from Bitcoin which gave me a big relief as to how Bitcoin have become an alternative to the traditional currency.
Second Charity Work
I have also decided to make a free Bitcoin training for 30 youths from my locality and the focus of the crypto training will be on Bitcoin and how it operate with some other tools that will guide the participants through their Bitcoin journey.

Your advice suggestions are welcome on the second charity which is the training of young youths on blockchain Bitcoin education.

Three Nigerian Banks faces CBN Sanction Over Involvement in Crypto Transaction.

Three major Nigerian Banks on the early hours of Wednesday were reportedly fined for violation of law enforced by the Central Bank of Nigeria to ban every account involved in cryptocurrency transaction, the banks are Stanbic IBTC, Access Bank Plc and United Bank of Africa (UBA) with a hooping sum of #200m, #500m and #100m each respectively. CBN still maintain it stand by insinuating on crypto as an element used to perpetrates illegal acts such as money laundering, scam, and any form of fraudulent act due to it anonymity.

It could be recalled that earlier last year, the Nigeria government through its financial counterpart place a ban on making any cryptocurrency transaction and ever since then banks have refrain from performing any related crypto payments or transaction.

CBN claimed it has systems in place that places all banks under surveillance for any cryptocurrency transaction performed from any bank to alert them in which banks does not have access to such system.

What surprised me most is the claim by the IBTC bank that the transaction might have byepass their system unknowingly to them, I still look forward to when our government will wake up to see the number of Nigerian youth trooping for cryptocurrency neglecting their ineffective E-Naira.

https://thestreetjournal.org/cbn-slams-₦800-million-fines-on-banks-for-flouting-cryptocurrency-order/

Sorry to say this but this news doesn't move me a bit like the central bank already issue a circular to commercial banks to close cryptocurrency accounts what you should know is there is a difference between cryptocurrency accounts and individual bank accounts, just as we have dollar account there is cryptocurrency account opened by banks and customer are operating them and most of those customers that have access to such account are politicians who make the huge conversion at regular intervals just to avoid the daily limit place on money transaction in Nigeria. This has little or nothing to do with me and you and to some extent, I see this move as a good move from the CBN most especially when we want to deal with money launderers who have seen cryptocurrency as their save heaven.

I just have this thinking that people, especially bitcoin users will want to just experience buying and touring with bitcoin, it is a kind of good experience. I think the increase in tourism in El Salvador will be more connected to the country that made bitcoin a legal tender.  Nobody also cares about what people are saying or what is happening, what that matter is that no one is forcing anyone to use bitcoin.
The major revenues generation of El Salvador is from tourism and even before Bitcoin's adoption by El Salvador, their tourism sector has been on the rise but not as pronounced as now. Most tourist centers in El Salvador are accepting Bitcoin alongside the United States dollars Bitcoin will only provide better alternative means of payment and most El Salvadorans are not yet familiar with the concept of Bitcoin so they find it hard and also for the fact that the chivo wallet is a centralized wallet which requires KYC it become a turn off to some Bitcoin users most especially those who value their privacy.

As the rate of Bitcoin ATM increased it has become evident that holders of Bitcoin can spend their Bitcoin at any shops or outlet, this give Bitcoin the mainstream adoption and the rate of Bitcoin ATM increase to a very high and the previous year 2021 saw where bitcoin ATM we're installed in gas stations and now pos outlets now accept Bitcoin debit cards for various transactions/payment. About 20,000 Bitcoin ATM was installed in 2021 and that has not stopped as the have been an installation of over 3,000 Bitcoin ATM in the first quarter of the year 2022. This data was show on the news:
 https://news.bitcoin.com/tracker-shows-close-to-3000-crypto-atms-were-installed-in-2022s-first-quarter/
While there are many ATM's being installed worldwide , my question is do the ATM machines for Bitcoin really receiving support from users?

if yes then this is indeed great news but what if people has more option in trading their bitcoin into fiat and vise versa?

like in my region , there are so many places where i can buy and sell bitcoin or couple of altcoins without the need to go in ATM machines in which mostly installed in strategic places?

but yes this is one proof that the increase of Bitcoin user worldwide is really spreading .
Even without checking the statistic, you will notice that it is due to the increase in bitcoin adoption by users that call for the increase in the number of Bitcoin ATMs if the number of bitcoin ATMs is on the decline it is then we will say the Bitcoin ATM initiative is not seeing support from the people but this one that the number keeps increasing it shows the level of demands.
6685  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 on: April 06, 2022, 07:36:03 AM
The statistics suppose to be higher than portrayed statistics because bitcoin has turn to universal currency which no country today that's not aware of cryptocurrency, so beside bitcoin ATM supposed to be viral because it currency is decentralized and has already dominate half of the world, so Bitcoin is financial freedom.
Well to some extent I agree with you the number of Bitcoin ATM should be more than what we currently having since Bitcoin have gain mainstream adoption but then we should not forget the many set back that a decentralized currency will face in a centralized cycle were the government feels since they can't control Bitcoin their will have to undermined it growth this is why we are not seeing rapid increase in the number of BTC ATMs but I know with time the narrative is going to change.

The team that wins this match may be the champion, so it is a must-watch.
City beat Atlético in yesterday's game and they will be on the field with high morale. Liverpool has not lost points in the league for weeks and I think they have a chance to win this game. This will be the most important match in the Premier League and the winning team will gain a great advantage to become the champion Smiley
I know the winner is going to come from any of the two top clubs which is Manchester city or Liverpool since both clubs have been trying tirelessly to retain their position by winning most of their match the only 1 point difference that put Liverpool below Manchester city comes from the total number of goals scored by both clubs in the premier games and Liverpool is truly high spirited to take on Manchester City when the time comes. Sam most looking forward to that time when the top clubs will battle themselves to produce the premier league winner.

Good job mate, am not fully acquitted with the requirements for local board creation, but I think we the Nigerian community are most deserving of a local board this is evidenced in the level of Bitcoin adoption by the 9ja youths and the 2021 statistics has shown Nigeria to be the highest in cryptocurrency transactions and adoption in Africa and globally this is made possible by Nigerians between the age of 20 to 40 years who are the youths.
9ja the Giant of Africa
Checking through population statistics Nigeria happens to be the highest in terms of population in Africa and also the highest in cryptocurrency adoption, Nigerian have played a significant positive role in the development and adoption of Bitcoin/cryptocurrency and this has been shown in the level of crypto adoption by Nigeria youths. One of the significant events that show youth adoption of Bitcoin was the End sars protest where Bitcoin was adopted by the protesters for donations globally, this has shown a high level of confidence in Bitcoin's decentralized nature from Nigerian youths who are limited by government autocratic approach to the economic faith of it citizens the youths have taken it upon themselves to make the change happen and Bitcoin/cryptocurrency is the way out.  @Theymos this is a plead for 9ja local board please act according to the discretion of your office to see that j9a youths are given a voice on this forum by creating a local board for Nigerians on this forum so that our voice can be hard and recognized.
6689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Round of 16! on: April 05, 2022, 09:58:55 AM
Liverpool is going to crush Benfica as I have watched both teams how they play in their domestic leagues and Liverpool is at another planet compared to Benfica in terms of quality.Benfica is used to come such far only in Europa League most of the time but in Champions League rarely they have been playing quarter finals,it is since 2015/16 season that they don't.

Benfica is very lucky to have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Now their opponent is strong Liverpool. Since today's match is Benfica's home match, Benfica's players will be more confident. Liverpool must play carefully. Any team at home can be devastating. However, Liverpool's squad players are experienced. They don't seem to be giving Benfica a chance today.
Today's match is one of the matches in the premier league that I have always looked forward to with much excitement, as the game is between Liverpool vs Benfica one may be tempted to underrate Benfica but since their home, that advantage will be there for the club but Liverpool will try their extra best to win the match but it will be a slime chance winning. That is just my prediction anyway.
6690  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: April 05, 2022, 07:30:47 AM
I was reading some local press from El Salvador, stating that the Chivo Pet Hospital has attended over 9000 services in a month since its formal opening (averaging 300 visits per day). One thing to recall here is that each service is priced at a ridiculously low fee: 0,25$ in BTC, which is extremely low for the country.

The first of the below-linked articles indicates that 100% of the service payments have been made using Chivo Wallets. Nevertheless, the 0,25$ in BTC per service seems to be a promotional price, for those that pay using their Chivo Wallet. Attempts to pay in cash are priced at private clinic service value (no indication as to the average price though, to compare).

There seems to be some confusion as to what the fee per service is for payments in BTC using a wallet other than a Chivo Wallet. The second referenced article below claims that, when contacting the call center and querying on the matter, they indicated that the promotional price only applied to payments made through a Chivo Wallet. Nevertheless, the promotional price was initially announced as applicable to any digital wallet.

See:
https://diarioelsalvador-com.translate.goog/el-hospital-chivo-pets-supera-las-9000-atenciones-en-su-primer-mes-de-funcionamiento/209388/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=es&_x_tr_pto=wapp

El Salvador has made some positive moves to promote the use of the chivo wallets, I guess those using the chivo wallet enjoy various discounts from the government, and with so many government-owned institution payments using Bitcoin is allowed and are given special offers with low fee. The president of El Salvador is a young smart guy since he know how hostile some El Salvador citizens are towards Bitcoin adoption the best way to give Bitcoin the right acceptance is by making its payments on services cheaper and enjoying good discounts.

Privacy concern is probably one reason.
Yes and no, mainly because someone who is going to buy bitcoin at an ATM probably is going to get only a few hundred dollars, not big quantities. And as far as I remember those ATM don't have very good prices but again if you buy only $100-200 you won't even notice that.
Right I will rather choose to spend on the Bitcoin ATM rather than buy, my most satisfaction will be when I can easily pay at a coffee shop with my Bitcoin debit card or using my Bitcoin card in a shopping mall 🏬 to pay for glossaries.
On the issue of kyc I think KYC is only required when you are about to make a Bitcoin purchase over the Bitcoin ATM.

Liverpool is now leading with 1 goal and at the 66 minutes the match seems to be heading to a win for Liverpool which will further increase the club's point on the table, Liverpool will have a better chance against other top 5 clubs as to who tops the league in this season.
I believe the game will end soon with Liverpool's victory. now the score is 2-0, Fabinho adds a goal from the penalty. Liverpool was outstanding with the possession and the chances they had.
Congratulations to those who have placed bets for Liverpool.
This 2 goals victory for Liverpool is an indication that Liverpool is prepared to top the league table and their number of goals scored in the premier league have increased. If Manchester City failed to deliver in the next match the outcome of that will be Liverpool taking the first spot and that will be sustained throughout this round.
6696  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't Be Under Pressure To act (Altcoin) on: April 02, 2022, 01:05:41 PM
trade calmly, then we will not be under pressure from dumps or panic sells that occur in the market,
 Luse a good strategy and don't be selfish, set aside capital and don't use the whole capital just to buy coins,
because that's what makes us under pressure in the market. market when panic sell occurs, I hope we are fine.
When it comes to trading or investment one needs to have a calm spirit and a huge understanding of the situation, the right time to take every right action.
Once you build your knowledge about certain assets don't be moved by short term actions no matter their impact on the price of your coin, as long as you are holding a potential coin you will have the confidence that no matter what happens in the market you will continue to hold and not follow fuds and the mainstream media.

Manchester city are on fire when it comes to the champions league. They dominated each of their games, they are on streaking wins because city boss Pep won't allow any team to compete with him. Athletico madrid on the other hand are also good interms of defensive football. They would target a draw in the first leg of the game. That's what Diego Simeon is good at, and he is one the oldest coach in Athletico madrid currently. The game is really going to be a tough one. Definitely it's going to be survival for the fittest. I hope City wins the game because they deserve this trophy more than any team present in the quarter finals. They have been to final last season but lost to Chelsea. This season won't be the same as last season. Alot of unimaginable things are going to happen.
Manchester City is the favourite to qualify to the next round and they have the capacity, good team and coach to do that. But one thing about Manchester City is that no matter how good they are in the English premier league, they cannot be trusted in the Champions League. If not for last season they managed to reach finals and lost it because of coach experiment. Other years they use to be  eliminated exactly at this stage. So Manchester City need to be more careful and ensure they score a lot of goals that is what is going to save them.
Manchester City would have learned from their past mistakes after several attempts to become the champion but failed at the last stage, I just wish Manchester City will correct all their past mistake am being able to walk away with the champion league trophy. At the moment the is no strong team/club that will battle that with them haven't seen how the club performs at the premiere leagues.

Liverpool is not supposed to surprise you in Epl since 5 seasons ago. Liverpool has been performing very well in Epl, infact it use to sadden me that they will have upto 90 points in the league and yet will not win the league because of Manchester City that will have upto 100 points. At anytime Liverpool is not supposed to surprise anyone. Though they are not the champions of England I use to consider them as champions.
I always have this feeling that Liverpool is better than Manchester City, I don't know why.
Liverpool as it stands can not be rated higher than Manchester City because judging from the club's points and goals Manchester City is higher than Liverpool with a point which Liverpool will have to fight to be a/ that point before topping the points table. If Liverpool could win the two upcoming matches and man city plays a draw in any of their two matches they will lose their position to Liverpool.

In the premier league, one of the clubs that have surprised me is Liverpool who has performed so well to the point of becoming the second on the premier league table, the next round out of the league may be fully controlled by just two clubs that is Manchester City and Liverpool.
