681  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to create own Solana token in 5 minutes on: March 26, 2024, 05:41:32 AM
I’m confused why would I need to build my own token?

What advantages will it give me? Is it truly necessary when I can just buy a solana coin from the market? Having to connect my solana wallet and it being the first step of the process is already suspicious to me. It does just not seem too safe, overall.
I'm asking myself the same question, what is the need to create my own Solana, token? Which relevance and utility will it add to me? If it's for the sake of having my own token, them I'll just pass. And as you've noted, connecting a Solana, wallet seems suspicious, we just have to be very careful because of the many scams and hacks in the crypto space. Anyway I personally don't see the need for it, and Solana, should regulate how easily people can create tokens on their network.

683  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IslamCoin Project on: March 25, 2024, 03:33:58 PM
Adding religious terms to the currency does not make it valuable.
Without adding links to the project, the smart contract, whether it will be an independent blockchain or a token, you can add a lot of terms, but in the end the project is a scam.
I'm very cautious when dealing with anything that's affiliated to any religion, so I don't unintentionally offend the believers, and it's also wrong if anybody will use the name of any religion to scam people, the OP clearly didn't add any link to further convince us that the project is legit. I think that the crypto space has gone beyond using religious names or the names of influencial people to get investors to invest in a project, because every experienced crypto investor will research first and not get carried by the name of a project. GxSTxV, has researched and claimed that the wallet address in the OP, actually belongs to the OP, not for charity purpose, if it's so them the OP is a scammer, unless he can prove that it's a false allegation
684  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Global wealth preservation" on: March 25, 2024, 02:30:33 PM
In what ways do the historical narratives and cultural perceptions surrounding gold as a traditional store of value intersect with the emerging narrative and evolving cultural perception of Bitcoin as a digital store of value, and how might these intersections shape the future landscape of global wealth preservation?

Thank you for sharing your insights and perspectives!

Bitcoin is a digital decentralized currency, a means of payments and also a unit of store of value, a profitable investment and a decentralized asset, while gold is only a physical and tradition centralized asset, gold is scarce while bitcoin is not, gold appears in abundance supply yet not circulating while bitcoin has a limited supply, increasing in value and remain in circulation for use.

The similarity between gold and Bitcoin is that they're both valuable assets, while their major difference is that gold is scarce while Bitcoin is not, also gold is centralized while Bitcoin is decentralized, finally gold is physical and can be used to produce jewelries while Bitcoin is only in digital. So aside from the facts of their similarities that people have accepted both as valuable investments and their values will not diminish and they can be traded for valuables like fiat, they have so much more that sets them apart as mentioned above.
685  Economy / Economics / Re: Does a place called Africa really Exist in the world Economy on: March 25, 2024, 12:49:40 PM
The problem of Africa, is bad leadership, somehow corrupt politicians keep recycling in African politics, and I feel like it's some external forces that have made it to  remain so, we in Africa, have people that will change the fortunes of their countries from poverty to prosperity, but they won't be given the chance to rule. We have cabals that control African politics, and they determine who rules their country, unless these mafias who don't have the interest of their countries are rooted out, even elections can't produce good leadership, because they'll rig it. It's very sad that despite the intelligent people that has what it takes to make African economies to be like China, and other developed countries, it's still mediocres and criminals that continues to rule us.
686  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC dip again? on: March 25, 2024, 11:26:45 AM
For those of you out there who are planning on buying more coins
like me when the market dips, have you guys set a target price where
you will buy? I am wondering if will bitcoin still go down to at least $50k?
I am planning on buying more coins but not waiting for the dips to do it. With these big financial institutions buying bitcoin in large quantities, it is going to be difficult trying to time the market. However, if you DCA weekly, you would not have to worry about bitcoin's price or its dip and highs. My target is to buy weekly paying attention to my DCA.

We are not going to see bitcoin at $50k even though I know people think this is likely to happen, it won't. We are already seeing it recover, It already less than a month till halving. It will break past $70k. What we experienced briefly is the pre-halving dip.
This is a pre halving dip, it's not like we're in the bear run yet, and I believe that it'll not dip to $50k, although we can only predict, because nobody knows for sure what Bitcoin price will be before halving starts. So it depends on the price that individuals set for themselves to buy, but if an investor is looking to sale during the peak of bull run, they can go ahead and buy now because their returns on investment is guaranteed. Bitcoin accumulation despite the price will not be a problem for those that are doing the DCA method, they'll continue to buy until the peak of bull run.
687  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does number of traders affect volatility? on: March 25, 2024, 08:56:29 AM
Does the number of traders directly affect the volatility of the market? If it does, can we assume that trading was easier before with less traders (less volatility) than now when there are more traders, and the market more volatile?
People trade bitcoin than shit coins but why bitcoin is less volatile than shit coins? More people trade gold but gold is less volatile than bitcoin? More traders does not mean but the marketcap is what that is very important. The lower the marketcap of a coin, the higher the volatility. Not about the higher the number of traders.
Your analysis is very self explanatory, it's not really the number of traders that drives volatility in the market, but the market cap of a coin, meaning that if it's high the chances of volatility becomes low, and if the market cap of a coin is low, it's chances of volatility will be higher, so the volatility and market cap of a coin works in opposition. Although I still think that the influx of more crypto traders will have some effects on price volatility, as they increase the market will become more volatile, but it's not to undermine the fact that is earlier mentioned about marketcap being the main driver.
688  Other / Politics & Society / Re: A new Russian-Finnish war is coming on: March 25, 2024, 07:22:41 AM
Except for the Russian, nuclear weapon threat, I doubt that they can afford another invasion or war with another country, after what they're experiencing in Ukraine, presently. They thought that the Ukraine, invasion will be a walk in the park, I'm sure that they never envisioned what is happening now, so it's definitely a lesson for them to think twice before considering war again, even if it's a waker country.

With Finland, joining NATO, I believe that Russia, will know their boundary and not consider trespassing with a war with on a NATO member country, because they'll not be facing Finland alone, but the entire NATO alliance. This war has shown that a powerful force like Russia, can be vulnerable, they would have been better off not starting the war in the first place.

690  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BlackRock Launches Its First Tokenized Fund on the Ethereum Network on: March 25, 2024, 05:33:41 AM
BlackRock definitely has something in it's mind. First they get involved in crypto space by applying for bitcoin ETF then they apply for ethereum ETF and now the tokenized fund.
I must say, BlackRock is slowly tightening its grip in the crypto community and soon it will try to manipulate it to it's benefits.
Things will become more centralized and that is not good for the crypto community.
Blackrock, is definitely up to something bigger in the crypto space, they probably want to have main stakes in top cryptocurrencies and they'll have certain autonomy over them, meaning that they can manipulate the decentralization of a coin like Bitcoin, to their advantage. But looking at it from the business angle, Blackrock, is now a pioneer in the adoption of cryptocurrency, more investors have entered the space and areas of making money have increased significantly, hopefully if Ethereum ETF is approved, it'll be another milestone for Blackrock, and investors.
691  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Wetin fit make an experienced Bitcoin hodler to sale during bear run? on: March 24, 2024, 07:00:42 PM


Also another thing that can affect these investors is when they take loan to invest in bitcoin and then unable to pay back during deadline and so won't have any other choice than to sell

I know say na only on urgent and important matters an experienced Bitcoin investor go fit to sale during bear run wey price don dip reach rock bottom, because e no go make any investment sense for anybody wey don de hodle throughout bull run to sale at a lose. Except as you talk say maybe im owe dept wey deadline don reach to pay and no oda choice but to sale at a lose to repay di loan, or as Barikui1, talk say e de important for Bitcoin holders to get sources of income so dem no go touch dem investment during bear run. So in essence, Bitcoin investors wey no get sources of income go sale at anytime wey money scarce and no hope to get from oda sources.
692  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Wetin fit make an experienced Bitcoin hodler to sale during bear run? on: March 24, 2024, 04:24:36 PM
We de expect a Bitcoin bull run wey go give investors massive ROI, and indications still de strong say Bitcoin price go reach new ATH of up to $150k for di peak of bull run. Despite say price pump pass over $70k, and now e don dip to $65k, so investors wey get faith say di massive bull run go still happen, go use di opportunity of dis dip to de accumulate more, because na during price dump be di best time to buy dis valuable asset.

Bitcoin bull and bear seasons don use im hand take solve di equation of di best times to buy and sell am, so im follow basic economics principle, buy cheap during bear run, wen supply pass demand and sale high price during bull run wen demand pass supply.

I just sidon dis afternoon come de reason wetin fit to make a Bitcoin investor wey get di knowledge of how di Bitcoin cycle de work to sale during bear run, because i feel say no be clear eyes for investors wey know wetin de to sale during bear run. E must be strong financial need wey go make experienced investors to sale during bear run. Abeg which reasons una feel say e go make experienced Bitcoin hodler to sale during bear run?
693  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Solana memecoin is trending on twitter.. on: March 24, 2024, 02:47:10 PM
We all know solana has been doing well these past few months it is no secret. At this point, you should have already
bought some and should be seeing profits already. Well anyway I am just hoping these memecoins, despite the
usual conceptions about memecoins, do not die after their initial hype. To be honest, I have high hopes as
Solana is a reputable and reliable blockchain.

The Solana, ecosystem is now a brand for memecoins, I hope that their growing reputation will still remain intact because we know the reputations of memecoins, which is pump and dumb on the short term, leaving many investors to count their loses. I've not bought any of the tokens listed in the OP, they however look good to give ROI on the short term, but I'm more of long term projects like Bitcoin in this bull run, I'd say good luck to investors that wants to go for quick profits in this season, let them research the projects first to avoid scams.
694  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How safe is saving screenshots of useful information and BTC transactions? on: March 24, 2024, 01:52:21 PM
I don't think that screenshots are meant to be kept permanently, if the purpose of making it is achieved then I don't think that there's any need to continue keeping it, it's better to delete it, including other unnecessary images and videos that you're phone has stored. I think that it's ok if you warn your friend against keeping screenshots of transactions and information that are not useful anymore because scammers and hackers are getting more sophisticated everyday. You might lose your phone and you never know your information that might seem irrelevant to you but it might be a clue to criminals who'll want to steal from you.
695  Economy / Economics / Re: Unveiling Potential: My Journey into Crypto Investment on: March 24, 2024, 12:52:23 PM
The OP post was very poetic and I felt like I was reading a fiction novel, quite interesting. Almost every new investors faced that peculiar challenge when they started their Bitcoin investment journey, especially if there's no crypto experienced person to guide and encourage them not to panic and sale during bear run, and make them to understand how the Bitcoin circle works, that it's better to sale in bull run. To enjoy the full benefits of Bitcoin investment, it's investors needs to have regular sources of income, so that their financial needs will not compel them to sale during price dip, because that is the best time to buy.
696  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to follow whales? on: March 24, 2024, 11:21:22 AM
I realised that small group of whales basicly own bitcoin market and do whatever they want with price. On which indicators I have to watch to follow them? volume only? some shapes on charts?
There is not indicator that is going to show you that. All you have to do is to look for good signal groups you can join that has whales there where they can be going the members signals to trade. This is the only way you could get to that and understand more about this crypto space. There are so many signal groups you could join and make money by taking there signals although so of them are not free.yiu will have to do the research yourself so you could get what you are looking for. This is never difficult at all.

The subject of the thread really caught my attention, and I'm eager to know how to follow whales too, but the comments so far is about the indicators to follow, so I guess that whales do not want people to follow them, every trader has to research and find their own indicators. You suggestion is also good, a trader can follow a signal group, and make the most of it, in all the crypto space, I think that trading is the most complex and it requires a lot of expertise and commitments in order to minimize loses and become profitable in it.
697  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The use of non state actors in politics and the dangers in it on: March 24, 2024, 10:03:48 AM
These none state actors as you called them exists because politicians use them to actualize their unpatriotic and shameful agendas, but problems always arises when they've successfully carried out the wicked acts that their groups were created for, and the politicians don't have needs for them again, they then becomes nuisances to their countries. When you create monsters for an evil assignment, and the task is done, you must keep giving them new monstrous assignments, unless they'll turn on you their creator, so inorder for this politicians to have peace, they'll keep finding new tasks for these none state actors, at the detriment of the developments of their respective countries. So far corrupt politicians are still in power, these scrupulous elements will still be hovering around the corridors of power.
698  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Am in dire need of assistance for my improvement on: March 24, 2024, 08:16:10 AM
The mistake that most newbies without prior crypto experience make is that they're in a hurry to start topics and I don't think that there's any rule in the forum that mandates it. So if a newbie don't have any meaningful topics to start, let them focus on making crypto research on social media and learn from discussions of experienced members, then they can start making comments and eventually begin to start quality topics.

There are pinned threads in every board that you open, you should go through them and they'll guide you through, the forum is very organized, even without asking questions, a newbie can navigate through, and not break forum rules.
699  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: So Solana is 20x up but Ethereum is dying, yet for years ppl shill Eth why? on: March 24, 2024, 07:04:43 AM
I think that we have two types of crypto investors, the ones that goes for long term projects that the others that goes for short term projects, so the category that an investor belongs goes a long way to determine the types of cryptos that they invest in, and I think that the OP is all for the short term and quick profits. Ethereum, like Bitcoin, are reputable coins that have proven their trust in the crypto market, so I believe that Ethereum, is still in high demand and relevant despite it's high gas fees because investors trust it like Bitcoin, they can invest in it and go to sleep with their eyes closed, so for it's hodled on the long term, it's price will keep appreciating like Bitcoin. You can't say the same thing for new projects, they can pump 10x or 1000x today and vanish tomorrow to, so it takes an investor that's into high risk taking to invest in them. Solana, is an exception, their team's innovations have positioned them as a top altcoin that you can buy and also sleep well at night.
700  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We should be looking only at the brighter side on: March 23, 2024, 09:12:22 PM
E de important to de look and consider every aspect of investment wey we de into, weda negative or positive, and if di investment de valuable like Bitcoin, den we go focus on the positive side, because e de greater dan di negative side. Anybody wey wan enter Bitcoin investment for di purpose of long term hodling must get a steady source of income because no matter your knowledge of di advantages of Bitcoin hodling, hunger go make you change your mind and sale without hesitation.  So di morale talk na for people wey de meet up with dem primary basic needs, so make dem no go sale Bitcoin to take solve secondary needs wey dem fit to forgo.

I don't think you should be using your local language in a general board like this, it would be better you use a language everyone can understand and learn from what you have to say.

If you don't want to look at the negative side of investing in bitcoin, but only the positive side, you might end up not without success in your bitcoin goal. It is a norms as an investor not to FOMO or get carried away with little price fluctuations,so that you don't get distracted from your focus on a long term goal.

However, on your investment journey, you must think of the risk attached to bitcoin investment, so that you can have an insight of how to overcome it, and become successful in your bitcoin journey. Anybody that is investing without think of the risk attached to it, will fail in that investment. So we should consider the other side of bitcoin and not only the bright side, to help us know how much to put in, and how to make sure our investments are safe.

Yeah it's good to be optimistic about your investment but that's not even the reason why people sell of so easily , the reason for that is ignorance or they dont have a personal conviction about bitcoin.

The bear market is not a hard time for everyone as some views it as a bad time to invest or think bitcoin isn't doing well others are buying, bull dont make you rich, the bear does and thats what mist investors fail to see.

Thanks for your observation, my sincere apology, it was a mistake, I was surprised when I saw the content of your post that quoted me. In the OP is a Nigerian and we both
post in our local board, I guess I was carried away thinking that we were in our local board and started writing in pidgin English, if you check the beginning of the thread, I
was the first to make comment.
