The issue with bragging depends on your own view, sometimes people don't even intend to brag or show off but the way they dress and appear might get someone else jealous and unknowingly to the person, and the other set of people they always want to brag about their achievement. I love seeing people like that cause I will love to do same likee if you're rich you don't even need to brag people will always see the wealth, if you're really talking about the rich ones it's very rare seeing such people, I will assume you're talking about the jealous ones who always want to paint others dirty and bad, talking about ideas and creativeness I don't know about others so I'm speaking for myself, if my friends around me will not add value to my life in terms of new ideas and creativeness I will prefer to cut such friendship cause now what's the essence of making many friends and still yet there's no value added to your life it makes no sense, I'm not trying to say our friends should be blamed for our wrong decisions or act but we should make friends that add value to our life,  The best thing to do this new year is to avoid such people and focus more on new year goals.
722  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: December 26, 2023, 09:33:10 PM
I honestly want to say that letting go of addiction is a very difficult thing, especially if we are impulsive gamblers it will be very difficult to cure.

But that doesn't mean it can't be cured, because this goes back to yourself, to the desire to be free from gambling itself or not, because there are a lot of people who can't do it, so they need expert help to handle it. and this requires a long enough process, it cannot be considered easy because the journey to recovery is a lot of temptation and it is easy to fall back into gambling.
What is called addiction, whatever addiction it is, is indeed something that is difficult to cure because addiction is a habit that is continued every day without a break, for gamblers who are addicted is a phenomenon that is often seen and encountered. Especially for those who make gambling their main income, in Basically, gambling cannot be used as a place to make a profit because if we cannot make a profit and always experience losses, this can cause addiction because we are trying to recover from these losses, so we have to prevent things like that so that we don't become addicted.

It is true that addiction can still be cured, although it is a little difficult. If the gambler really intends to stop, he must try slowly to reduce his activities gradually. This can be a good start to cure addiction, because addiction requires a recovery process that takes quite a long time, depending on whether the addiction is serious or not.
What makes you think you can convert an addict more especially the ones that get angry over every little argument concerning gambling, I don't support the idea of convincing an addict to stop doing what they love, if the person is ready to change then that's when we can help but in a case where the person keeps insisting to gamble how can a friend help, if anyone keeps insisting to change an addict it might result to fighting.
They're many means to stop the addiction of gambling if the person is ready for example visiting a therapist, that's a good idea especially if the gambler sells property and take loan just to please his desires visiting a therapist will help, secondly let's observe 90% gamblers addicted to this act are never busy with work so they spend more time on casino shops, the idea of getting a job that's stressful and occupy more time during the day will help reduce the addiction. Have seen a lot of people quit gambling cause they made the decision and worked towards it.
723  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in Bitcoin will bring you hope and gambling will leave you destitute. on: December 26, 2023, 08:28:18 PM
In the gambling world stories like this are very common and a lot of people end up regretting and some will still go back despite the debt, that's their choice and they are addicted to gambling I don't see any point blaming such people but if they're willing to change and withdraw from such act for a long period it will be better, I don't know about the loan issue in your locality but mine if you're not with a valuable property you can't be given such huge amount or he borrowed the money from different individual, let's just assume he borrowed the money for bitcoin investment it will would have sound better and nice compared to gambling that has high risk of winning, I still don't support the fact of borrowing money for bitcoin investment or gambling, both investing and gambling requires your own money and still bet what you can afford to lose and invest what you can afford, the issue with borrowing money sounds stupid most especially in gambling that doesn't give guarantee of making profit.
724  Economy / Economics / Re: Food for thought on: December 26, 2023, 08:00:48 PM
The truth is not everyone can handle a business properly and sometimes during the process the person end up with loss and no profit so they will have to quit the process, have always love the idea of having multi source of income cause everyone seems to be competing, the idea of the op includes both the low salary eaners and high salary earner. Firstly any job that consumes time will pay high so every normal person will always have this mindset that nothing last forever so definetly he will leave the job some day, the best  idea is to build a source of income or rather invest the money for example real estate investment, bitcoin investment etc cause after retirement if anyone fail to lay a good foundation that person can't survive the economy, if anyone can't manage a business they're other means of earning money.
725  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Merry Christmas 🎄 but no fail to protect yourself on: December 25, 2023, 09:16:58 PM
The best thing is to avoid such place cause now no one is trusted, even your best friend might be the worst enemy, this thing dey happy for everywhere it's best to stay safe this season and some people will refuse to listen all in the name of trust, when I hear stories like this it pissed me off and na season like this things dey happen cause they believe say everybody dey celebrate the season, except from festive season people dey always act like this and any person wey fall mugu will face the consequences.
Now e get one common mistake Nigerians dey make now all in the name of celebration and flexing, nothing bad to flex but if you're a man of high standard or get influence even without influence this season  kidnappers full to kidnap little children so if going out with your kids it's best to stay watchful and protect them at all means.
726  Other / Politics & Society / Re: women goes through a lot when they don't get married on: December 25, 2023, 01:40:38 PM
In my opinion, a lot of single ladies just have this mindset of not getting married and that's their choice, have seen a lot of them and they're doing well without a partner, talking about kids they're many means of getting kids now but still it's not advisable. From my observation seeing this type of ladies now seems rare cause everyone wants to get married and that's just the best, fear of what the society will say is nobody business and if a lot of people will have this same mindset the women who suffer from domestic violence will choose to end the marriage but still they decide to endure and suffer just because of the society and the end result is death.

The issue with gender discrimination is very common and a lot of independent women manage to escape from gender discrimination but it's best if everyone will be treated rightly and just.

Lolz Arsenal and Liverpool Match was something else. One of my sister nearest broke plate because of the match before the coach fell down. The game was fun. I was not thinking that Liverpool would played the match to draw level they really tried. Though Arsenal oppressed them more but their defense was good so Arsenal could not penetrate to it just like that. G. Magalhães scored first before M. Salah scored to equalize with them and got yellow card.  Well the both sides played well.
I also observed that both teams played well. It was an enjoyable match of Premier League quality, but it could have been better. We saw balanced positions in the match with both teams trying to maintain control. As a result, the race for the top became even more confused. Tottenham was the most happy team this week.
I love watching the match especially the part where klopp fell down I kept on repeating that part, every season klopp will always do something funny, I love what Arteta is doing in Arsenal as a young coach just impressed, the match today was interesting and tough the both teams felt the impact of the match and it was not easy for salah, salah struggled but the force from Arsenal was just too much, Arsenal had enough chances to score goals but something will definitely go wrong it's either odegaard refuse to pass or saka with the wrong pass a lot of mistake in today's match I would love to see Arsenal win their next match for more point cause any little mistake Arsenal will make in their next match it will turn to jubilation for Liverpool if only they can beat Burnley and of course they'll defeat Burnley cause with what they played today they're good to go.

If you had $500, which coins would you choose to buy
Firstly every investor will have their own choice and opinion but it seems like every beginner will be careful not to make any mistake with that huge amount, I will go for the coin that has trust cause I hate taking risk more especially with financial matter but a lot of investors will love to buy some new random coins with no guarantee. I will go for bitcoin and ETH cause this coins has potential and has high level of trust, splitting the money and buying other potential coins is not the problem but  beginners like me who are new in the game and lack experience it's advisable to go for bitcoin, secondly it's best to avoid the FOMO more especially with a huge money.
730  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Abeg Na true say say porthacourt Refinery don start dey work? on: December 23, 2023, 08:33:33 PM
I heard about the news yesterday and everyone talking about this refinery to show say na true matter, I  really love the new develop even if it will not help the current situation make we manage the country the way we see and pray for a better Nigeria, talking about the new refinery, if the refinery will function well and will create much supply then I don't think the price of fuel will still be high cause one thing about market when the supply increase then the price will decrease. Like this now make the refinery just function proper and make we hope for change, the high fee for transportation too much most especially the car owners so if this new refinery fit increase for supply the price will definitely decrease.

Everyday new method dey come and who no dey careful go fall mugu even the slightest mistake your money don go, my prayer everyday make them no see me or my number cause when issue come like this it takes the grace of God to overcome am, just like wetin you talk now if you no confirm ask from your uncle you for send money.

732  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: CBN lifts ban on cryptocurrency transactions on: December 23, 2023, 01:09:00 PM
This is the best news that has happened to Nigeria this year. I thank God they have started seeing crypto currency from the brighter side. Who would have believed that Nigeria of all people would take this kind of decision so soon. I pray the next thing should be making it a legal tender. One thing I am not certain is if this is a trap, to see people who are doing crypto currency transactions since they where unable to track people down from binance.  But even if their intentions are genuine I think people should be carefull and watch how long this will last because Nigeria is not always serious. And let us not just start to rush into transaction but wait and see how long it last before we start.
This is a good news and we should be happy concerning the news, I think what CNB did is just too good to be true and a call of growth in Nigeria, why will they want to track citizens who are involve in this act, I know Nigerians and they can't do such, they are also humans and they have seen the benefit of crypto even with the ban crypto adoption keep increasing in Nigeria so what's the point of deceiving citizens but am not sure people will get involve cause they can't even trust the system for example if everyone keep having same mindset like you how will is function.
We have been praying for this moment make we no use our hand spoil am and gradually the adoption go dey increase.
733  Economy / Economics / Re: Setting up financial structures before going into the family way on: December 22, 2023, 08:02:22 PM
To some extend money can't give anyone full assurance of a happy home in marriage, have seen a lot of women who got married to rich men like super rich men but still not enough and at the end of the day they end up with a divorce, with this point only money can't buy happiness in a marriage, the idea of the op is common and nice, before marriage you need to be financially stable not because your wife needs money or your children deserve a better life everyone needs to work hard because we all need money, any marriage that lacks understanding will fall even with money. Marriage needs the both to stand money and understanding cause without money couples will always argue over unnecessary issue.
Have always believe the idea of being financially stable before having kids more especially, couples can live comfortable even with little amount but with kids that's where the problem lies, most especially with school fees and children needs.
734  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you rather start/grow a business from scratch or buy an existing business? on: December 22, 2023, 07:41:41 PM
If anyone wants to boldly sell his business even if the business brings profit or not the price will still be high, after buying such business how sure that business will stand or earn profit most especially when dealing with big business that needs new strategy every month. Before buying a business you need to consider the location cause a lot of business fall due to competition and if the new business can't withstand the competition the business will fall
I will not advice anyone to buy a business especially when the business is not standing strong, the strategy A use will be different from B strategy, buy a business when you know how the business works cause with the knowledge and resources you can buy a business.
Starting a business is just the best idea cause even with a little income everyone can start a little business, you just need a good strategy to grow the business.
735  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 22, 2023, 07:10:16 PM

Oh yes, I just realized this and indeed after seeing the schedule this week Aston Villa has the opportunity to feel the top of the standings with Liverpool and Arsenal having to draw, and they must win the match this week.
I think it will be an easy match for Aston Villa when hosting Sheffield United. Their difference is very significant and if Aston Villa do not win this match then it will be very disappointing. They can't afford to miss this good opportunity, because they are ahead in every way and their advantage is that they will also be the hosts.
Aston Villa are in a very good state right now, whereas the opponent they will face is not a reliable club.
Considering the performance of the top three teams in the English Premier League table, I think the match week 18 favours Aston Villa to go top of the league standings. Liverpool and Arsenal has been the most consistent team in the league since the start of the season and will both meet each other this weekend at Anfield. Bookies are backing the home team to win that particular encounter but judging by the impressive performance of the away team, it'll be very difficult to for Liverpool to beat Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. So if they end up playing out a draw, a home win for Aston Villa against Sheffield United at the Villa Park tomorrow will be enough to see the Villans climb to the submit of the league standings.
That is what we are discussing, that Aston Villa has the opportunity to be at the top of the table if the Liverpool vs Arsenal match ends with a draw.
Liverpool and Arsenal will definitely play their best to win and if they can't get a win, they will definitely think of playing it safe and only targeting a draw. Their performance now can be said to be almost the same, it makes the match more difficult to predict.
I probably won't bet on this match, because it's very risky, especially since my bet is a multi bet.
Aston villa have a high chance of toping the league but can they maintain the position, let's not forget this season seems too tight and hot who believed Villa will come this far, other teams bringing their A game, I can't predict the winner between Liverpool vs Arsenal, I would have predicted Arsenal winning this match cause they're the best this season most especially team work, but the problem with Arsenal anytime they're facing a strong team they get tired quickly, I don't think they will act like this tomorrow except they're not  ready.
The mistake Arsenal did last season they will not repeat such this season, even the Manchester city who overtook them last season are no where to be found but still it's not too late, if Arsenal, Aston Villa, Liverpool decide to sleep that's when City will lead.
736  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: STOP! Before you become a prey of a scammer! on: December 22, 2023, 06:48:46 PM
The first thing I learnt about bitcoin security should be our first priority, bitcoin is a modern technology and anything associated with the internet scammers will always find new method to scam, unknown contact trying to offer juicy offer sounds suspicious at the first place, if those offers were true no one would have contacted anyone. And times like this have seen a lot of influencers who claim to know about crypto organizing sites that discuss about bitcoin and crypto, I still don't listen to such. The best thing is to ignore such offers, people still falling victim to those scammers, if topics like this are been treated often about scammers and juicy offer then why do people fall victim, maybe they fail to understand, although most people get excited with offers like this and unknowingly they give out their private information.

Two different things dey for this your topic, the one wey I know say dey common na people wey like to carry another person problem for head, those kind people na jobless people because you no fit see busy person dey carry another person matter for head, I always like this word wey say mind your business at least na only your business fit feed you no be another person business, but when I look the other side of this matter everybody fall victim for this matter, the way humans dey na cause am, humans in general will always have something to say for other people problem or matter and any little comment you make good or bad na another person business, I no really take this thing serious cause not everyone will learn to mind their business mostly the talkative type but e for better if everybody go mind their business first like solving their  problems before making comment for other people matter.

Concerning security no one can be smart enough to avoid such not only in the crypto world, I think anything that has to do with money scammers will always be ready to take advantage over every little mistake, even a crypto expect can fall victim when he's not careful with his investment, just like what the op said security starts from us cause if we decide to play with our investments scammers will always be ready to take advantage, my first idea on security do not disclose personal informations to the public, the issue with hackers have asked such question before I don't think crypto hackers can be tracked cause if possible a lot of them who are involved in such act will be punish.
739  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Time to invest AI coins? on: December 21, 2023, 04:53:54 PM
Ico, ieo, defi, meme, nft and so many altcoin trend came,  created hype and then end. I notice, when a new trend start, then trend Related new altcoins are getting lots of investor and become profitable! And seeing such success ratio, scammers also launch their token and destroy the trend and hype with scam. Now Ai coins are in trend. FET, AGIX and OCEAN are suppose to be good for investment. What do you Think? Time to invest AI coins or you avoid?
Talking about AI coins I have never invested in such coins and I don't really know how those coins work but if you have the mindset that those coins will have great value how sure are you cause you need to be sure before investing in such coins, even with your research I don't believe in such coins, even with memecoin a lot of investors are scared to buy talk less of the AI coins although some might have great value I will not advice anyone to buy for long term expect you want a short term investment, if I may ask what's with the need of choosing new coins that you don't even know about the value, I don't support with such idea. Talking about the scam project have never been close to anyone who experienced such, if I had friends like that I would like to ask how they got involved, let's be realistic not all new tokens we should buy and invest at least let's be smart with our investment, lastly if you've make your research and you believe the AI coins has potential then don't hesitate to invest.
740  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What altcoins do you think are currently still cheap but have good potential for on: December 21, 2023, 04:32:24 PM
-snip- what altcoins are still cheap now but have good potential for the future?
If we checked the price of some top altcoins, there are few top altcoins that have cheap prices. They are XRP, ADA, TRX, TON, DOT, MATIC, XLM, and HBAR. I exclude meme coins like Doge and SHIB. Although those meme coins have cheap prices, they have no strong fundamental and no clear future. I only choose the top altcoins with strong fundamentals and have big market caps. If you plan for a long term investment, kindly ignore meme coins, it only relies on the hype. It will be too risky for a long term holding. Always invest in the altcoins with clear future!  Wink


Mostly the Ripple (XRP) coin, from my observation the market structure shows XRP has potential for long term investment and if investors can take advantage now it might likely  be profitable but it doesn't give full garautee of 100% profit, most especially for those who no nothing about the market  for example when to buy and sell and they end up with loss, i dont actually blame them cause altcoin usually works that way, i will love to mention ethereum cause the coin has potential, don't know about meme coin when talking about the hype cause alot of investors love following the hype so even with the low level of profit investors will still invest, when I checked last the dogecoin still stands as a good memecoin.
