741  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin is different from other means of investment on: October 15, 2023, 08:20:20 PM
I know several threads have been made in this regards with most of them moribund. I created this post because I feel so bad regarding what happened in my country. As you can see in this post and the video in it, the state government demolished an entire estate with several buildings and properties inside. This is peoples investment that just got destroyed. This was a property approved by previous administration but demolished by new government...another risk many people do not put into consideration in real estate and some other physical investments.  This is a confirmation that Bitcoin is safer and better than many conventional investment portfolios.
That’s largely true! Living in a state where it was a common practice for the governor, looking out for land to grab in the name of the state government and later converts it to an investment of his own desire and ownership, you begin to wonder if you ever made the right choice in buying properties for an investment choice ot should have sort a more different line.
In most cases, they get compensation and at other times, nothing at all. Though, I discovered there is an advantage to some. In compensated cases, you get a chance to erect a more modern building but, the disadvantage is always large as, you lose a good site and don’t get full value for your wise choice over the years.

Unfortunately, as much as I would want yo side Bitcoin, I would t be so Pro-Bitcoin by placing it ahead of Real Estate, both are good choices I would say.

She said '' You people are just wasting our time, if it were the bad boys terrorizing the region you people won't stop them''. The Sars man got angry and asked the girl to come down from the vehicle, the girl came down and she was taken into their custody for further questioning about her comment. The officer asked the driver to carry the rest of the passenger and continue with the journey. Some passengers pleaded with the officer to let the girl go but they refused, they said the girl must show them evidence where she saw them not stopping bad boys. They accused the girl of working with bad boys. The girl was detained while we continued with our journey.
Indeed her words was misguided and I must say, there are always these persons, once that others need to learn from and in this instance, it was her. She should have been aware enough on how the scenario would turn. Not like these things don’t happen but, in as much as you expect the Police or any arm of the armed forces to take you in without due reason and evidence, you should as well be very aware not to accuse them without an evidence as that, was an accusation.

I have had the opportunity to see passengers been caught with unlicensed fire arm in a regular stop and search, I’ve also seen some smugglers been caught migrating themselves into the control from these stop and search. Not to mention the risk they take in those check points. There are good cops and bad cops. We should as well acknowledge that and not ridicule those doing the actual job.

The rogue officers will always be after there #100 and that’s all. You can as well be patient with them and let them do their job. If you want to take a case with them, have your papers in tact and let’s see how they would force you to pay them a penny. That can’t happen, it’s only when your in the wrong or your about them not doing there jobs of stop and search.

I know these guys deliberately delay your time in these search due to lack of compliance but, bare with them and help them change.

These cockfighting superstitions are  fallacy.  There are no proven statistics that prove that these superstitions really work.  Even my relative who used to raise fighting fowl has his own superstition but in the end stopped because most of his fowl lost.
I really don’t understand how these superstitions goes,
What is it about them? Like is it what you tell yourself or some phrase you get to repeat over and over before taking a bet or engaging your animals in such activity to make money off them and eventually turn them to food?

I see a lot of animal cruelty in that and don’t or wouldn’t want to encourage any form of cockfighting. Come on?
Everything could be simulated in this day? Why do we have to put these animals through these.

I’m not a veggie or anything but, I was thought not to play with good, let alone to gamble on them. Just eat the damned thing and get your gambling on a sportbookie or casino.
746  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is Bitcoin really risky as they say? on: October 14, 2023, 10:56:49 PM
Generally, most people sees Bitcoin as being of high risk , meanwhile, others tend to disagree with the fact of being risky.

Bitcoin can be understood from different angles on how it will become beneficial to one. Either as a store of value(So as to avoid taxes), Investment or means of payment.
Avoid taxe you say? I doubt that is a major consideration for bitcoin investors. Don’t forget that even not having to declare your worth, both in Bitcoin and the asset you hold to your name is considered taxe evasion and that is punishable by law.
I find much people lashing into Bitcoin because of it’s decentralized nature, as a new means of finance and see it for an evolution for the future of finance so, why shouldn’t you! Despite the energy government keeps pulling on citizens of the world, it continues to gain popularity and that to day, there is more to it than being any risky investment.

Those who still get scared have got some inexperienced down times with the currency, are ignorant of it or way too traditional to change. There is a lot that one could benefit from Bitcoin and it’s never an avenue to evade taxes.
747  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Before and after bull run. on: October 14, 2023, 10:47:27 PM
Keep in touch with your family and friends before and after bull run, the happiness of profit can also drive one crazy which can make one do something unreasonable such as getting drunk, driving recklessly and many more.  To those who will see this thread, please keep this words in mind.
I get it when you say keep in touch with our families but, do the bear market or bullrun really creates conditions that could lead to lose of life?
Maybe if your invested in altcoins or some scam projects, I’ll agree as most of goose projects are always schemes of scammers and self proclaimed professionals which could easily go to shit, Altcoins as well, they could dump and never get a second chance at anything grate but, with Bitcoin it’s a whole different story.

Bitcoin has got some assurances on it and even with the biggest disappointment in a bear market, its significance is only as you make it in not having to sell. Bitcoin is sure to pump in value with time and as such, having your hodlings doesn’t stagnate its values but ensures you experience what ever happens with price fluctuation.
748  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: You data is not safe on centralized exchanges on: October 14, 2023, 04:59:56 PM
How do hackers know who to send messages to?

Is the message randomly sent to people? I think the hackers target Hong Kong Binance users and that can only be from data breach or insider work.
I have always had a hard time believing that in any hack that happens to any exchange or project out there, there isn’t an insider work. I have great doubt in thinking otherwise. There is always going to be the hand of an insider so long as I’m concerned. This makes relieving staff or cutting down staff of there job in a critical position, as by some means to stabilize operation a dangerous thing. These guys knows the loopholes in the system and can explore it.
Also, not having to give your staff proper welfare, it’s some means to tempt them.

Quote
If it is someone like me, this is easily avoidable, but what if it gets to the hacker's selling peoples data to thieves and which can lead to physical robbery and attack.
It’s definitely one purpose by which, these bridged data’s can be used and one can not be too careful enough as some services are very much needed.
749  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbie Don't be afraid of buying Bitcoin on: October 13, 2023, 08:40:59 PM

If you are afraid that Bitcoin would go to 10k,ask yourself why they hold billions in Bitcoin.
Don't you think that they had more insight than you will ever have?
Why do you think Nasdaq crashed 1.8% 2days ago  and Bitcoin holding 27k line? Buyers still buy no matter what, that shows confidence in Bitcoin, and remember retail got no money right now.
Inflation is too high, retail salary vanished day it arrives, it not retail that buy Bitcoin now,
you wouldn't like to hear this, but the one buying assets now are the wealthy, they will likely continue the trend of the rich getting richer
Well from the much we’ve observed, Bitcoin seems to define a dip at every bear market and somehow, the dip is maintained through the next bear market and by that I mean; come the bullrun and yet another bear market, the dip isn’t broken.
Now, the dip is around $17k and I don’t see that being broken even in the next bear market but, still, this isn’t a yardstick for measurement neither is anyone billionaire having there billions in Bitcoin a yardstick or reason why you should too.

That was how a lot of users trooped in and quickly trooped out because of Musk.

I expect users to find their own genuine reason for believing and making Bitcoin investments. It’s solely your decision but, I can say Bitcoin is the safest coin out there.
750  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are Bitcoin ETFs taming Bitcoin? on: October 13, 2023, 08:30:51 PM
The impact will still be there whether it is negative or positive, but a positive impact is much more to be expected. Apart from being able to increase prices, massive adoption will occur when a bitcoin ETF is approved. People are increasingly able to see bitcoin and its innovation, so I think a bitcoin ETF could be something valuable.
There is always going to be this and that possibilities but, do we really think these companies could ever come together and sensor Bitcoin? Could they ever agree on one thing and act on it?
I highly doubt that. There are always young to be different goals for each company and these companies would always act in their interest at a particular time. I don’t expect or hope to find a forum that would bring these companies together.

Also, there isn’t a guarantee or any chance that would mean, you using Bitcoin ETF companies would mean your coins have got to stay there. There are chances for withdrawals and the majority of hodlers out there and traders will always be more than a combined company would have, I think.

The more exposure that could come out of ETF programs, the more people would seek to be more private and decentralized on there transactions which would result in not having to stay on ETF centralized companies.
751  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you ever feel tired of waiting? on: October 13, 2023, 07:55:51 PM
To be honest, I've had this question for quite a while. I keep seeing people claiming to just hold and hold; it'll take one, two, three, or whatever years for the next bull market. However, I'm often wondering: do you ever feel tired of waiting for Bitcoin to thrive? The past few months, or the whole past year—I'm not sure I've lost track of time—have been quite stale. Bitcoin has been ranging between $25.000 and $28.000 for quite a while. The volatility compared to other periods is lower than we're used to, or at least, to what I was used to in the past.
Saying I don’t get tired of waiting on some lofty progress on the coin would be me lying to myself. Of course I would like to see some unexplainable value for my hodlings but, what can I say, I have to do the time for that value to be worth every second spent in waiting for a desired value.

The next question is, what desired value might that be? Where would one peg the value of Bitcoin to say “yes” it’s yield just enough value as it ought to have.
With this ranging in the uncertainty, one can’t really get satisfaction at any price. Bitcoin isn’t an investment for a time but rather, an investment that would last a life time and that means, you don’t need to attach a time to it as you can’t attach a time to living.

You just treat it like an investment, use it conservatively and be sure you’re not withholding yourself from other aspects to enjoying your ROI due to hodling.
752  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Israel -- Hamas War on: October 13, 2023, 03:08:19 PM
If you check this war well, Israel is an ally of USA so one way or the other USA must give aid and if that's is so then there will be massive drop in USA dollar rate at the financial markets due to investors pulling out their investments.
Yeah, that’s one thing I know for sure. Israel and USA are very strong Allie’s and it’s no hidden secrete that in times like this, you can expect the full support of the US government for the people of Israel in terms of military fire power, ammunitions, trainings and support through these trying times for there people. USA continues to come public on there support for Israel and warns other nations to stay clear of any form of support or aid to Hamas (Gaza) while, seeking possible peaceful relations for the releases of kidnapped civilians being held in an underground tunnel by Hamas and continues to show military strength in Gaza.

In these economic downtimes, it’s hard to imagine all these wars coming up to further push dilapidate the situation.
753  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Battle of why we dey earn but no progress on: October 13, 2023, 02:42:12 PM
With the facts of observations and my research, once u start dey hustle as an oyibo, u hustle on ur own and u owe no one responsibilities of bills bcuz every 1 dey ok &  contented with themselves without living to hope say anyone go take charge of their bills for them where family and relatives takes their financial responsibilities upon themselves.
I am sure this situation alone go allow person plan himself as him want.

Com to Africa, our 9ja in question, we dey papa house marry, bear kids and grand Pa takes all responsibilities.
How him want take establish or make increments in his income?

Pikin or person go dey in position of earning attractive amount of money, na so u go see responsibilities spreaded from the East, West, North and the South for u.
No just space for savings in order to establish and reach to a dream.
By this, I find out say responsibilities dey play a major role in our societies when we considers about forward ness.
Believe me, this na the legit. Everything way you cap here dey within the context of watin dey worry us and very valid at that.
Despite the fact say, we no get a very good or leveled foundation for success in we country, the load of responsibility way dey on top man Pikin head too plenty. In fact I believe say the poor get rest of mind via say, people dey just believe say them no get and cucuma leave them alone to face there wahala way no dey pass watin them go eat to pass the day.
Once e con be say you dey make small money way never even set you up, na there you go see responsibilities coming left, right front, back and center. No be just one man needs you dey carter for but, a generational need. That kind thing, e cast wella.

To escape this, one needs to make hard choices because. When you fail if you fail, them no go still recall the helping hand way you give them. Na the one way you no give and the one way you give other people aside from themselves go dey there head. Human being na just something else!
E Dey very important say make you grow yourself and help only with what you can leverage. No go dey over do yourself because, responsibilities no dey finish for the life.

Make them call you wicked even, accept am with pride and improve yourself, make watin people go talk or feel about you no stop you from the progress you got bring to yourself. When you archive, them go try associate and learn from you. This life, na per head!

755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cross addictions is Just as Bad. on: October 12, 2023, 10:20:38 PM
So a friend told me that a mutual friend tried to replace his gambling addiction with another another one because he has tried all everything else. The new addiction is PS4. He pays for extra on the game and he is getting more and more into it. According to my friend, this mutual friend feels that paying $20 per month its subscription is better than $100- $500 on slots where he ends up losing.
Looking at this from a more positive angle, I think this is been done wrongly or applied wrongly. In course of cross addiction, you don’t get to replace a bad habit with yet another one. Worst still, your having to pay to gamble in the form of stakes on bets (spending money) and then your replacing it with yet another habit of having to pay to play video games (spending money). Now note that both activities have to do with you having to liquidate your hard earned money. Though, arguably, one might be more expensive than the other but, you’re spending money none the less in a situation where you want to save money.

Instead of having to be invoked in activities that results in you having to spend money, you could as well cross addict with a more productive behavior. Engage in activities that help you earn and make meaning out of your time and addiction towards that activity.
756  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake phishing on: October 12, 2023, 10:12:42 PM
This is suspicious...another player also got an email while he was playing - see this thread about how a player got phished out of 150k from his account
I don’t know what’s really suspicious about it, some user is being targeted for phishing and that’s it. Now the point of wonder is who is at the end of all these phishing mails, whose the jacket here; is it stakes or some rogue officials within its ranks of any (which I don’t want to believe as stakes have proven to be fair and bigger than petty theft) or it’s the work of some out of the box hackers.

The fact that not just one user is receiving this mails doesn’t narrow things down to stakes but, can go down to vindicate them none the less.
Hackers typically use methods of bulk sms which is mails in this case to reach out to a good number of users. Looking for potential victims in numbers. The chances of success is in the numbers as, you can likely have a not well informed or secured user amongst them.

Best course go solution has always been, not having to respond.
757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling on: October 12, 2023, 09:56:18 PM
Even if it's going to take some extra but necessary steps to make our gambling experience worth a deserving one, then we shouldn't hesitate giving it what it demands, I've learnt that some people cannot just do something and be successful in them without the help or assistance of other people, such is life and we are to appear being our brothers keepers in times of need, gambling responsibly is not what one fan just say by mouth, we need to act upon it and see the results or outcome evident.

I am meant to understand that no man is an Ireland  and there is a saying that says " the right hand washes the left and the left does same too so both can be clean. "No tree can make up a forest."  Likewise every man  would definitely meet someone who would assist them in life in one way or the other. Standing alone is not advisable as one can never assist himself in n anything but rather would need help and support to climbing up the ladder. So I am not doubting your point here.
Well, that’s a saying for sure but, I would like to think of it differently or apply it differently. Of course we both need each other in life as, the world would make such a boring place to live if you live in it alone and nothing would make sense or be worth having where you have no competition over it. That’s just to stress on the fact that, we need people and we do better when we assists ourselves but, assistance isn’t always about giving aids (both as freebies in gifts and advice) but, we can aid ourselves through others by using them for a yard stick in measuring how in depth we’ve gone into a behavior and what means we could use to assist ourselves.

This you can or might not be awaken to but, you are based on a party you’ve identified around you. You might also be advised or maybe go through a therapy but, the active phase to this is you having the determination to act on it. Until your ready to act, it would be difficult to improve your behavior even in situations where your getting all the aid you need.
758  Economy / Economics / Re: Help me analyze the feasibility of this business idea on: October 12, 2023, 09:12:15 PM
1. I'm good in maths and science-related courses and have always loved teaching; my initial plan as a young person was to enter fully into the teaching profession when I grew up. But now I have grown to know how much teachers are paid and the fact that a single source of income isn't enough to sustain one in today's world and I'm looking at the possibility of doing a teaching job which is what I'm passionate about and use my remaining free time to focus on my crypto and other online stuff that I'm into. My issue with this is that some schools can be engaging and might not give me breathing space to face other stuff.
The reward in teaching isn’t always in the salary you’re paid, these I have known from experience and those of others. If you have the grace to live long, you might as well get to witness the success of the people you’ve brought up and they may be the once to support you or maybe aid your wards in the times of need.

It’s no doubt that, teaching could be exhausting with having to prepare lesson notes, following the educational curriculum and your required to do extra work to ensure your students come out amongst the best in national and internal exams.

In all that, you can also create time if you will. There is always free time for leisure and if you will it, you can create that time for your online activities.

2. The other option I'm also considering is that, since I have basic experience in graphics, and also have little tech knowledge, I can start up a computer institute where I will focus on training young teenagers on the foundation of basic computer operation, graphics, some tech-related course and also use the working environment to conduct private lesson for them. My issue with this option is that there are people already using their cafe for computer training in the area where I intend to start this business so my fear is how best I can manage the competition although I have a unique idea that is different from what those existing cafes are doing.
One thing I can tell you about this is,
If you’re afraid of the competition, you can never succeed in your field of business or investment.
You have yo recognize that, there are always those that might best you in whatever you choose to invest in or run as a business. Start and push for better, not minding the competition but instead, use it for a motivation to improve yours.

You have a unique idea, build on that. It’s your trick for success.
759  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you deal with financial stress? on: October 12, 2023, 08:31:55 PM
Patience and not giving up is the key. Many people have experienced it so you are not alone. They are still patient and keep trying even if they look tired. The way to stay optimistic is to believe that every day we live will get better until we can get a better life. No need to feel sad because we've been through the hard way. Now, we're given a new hope after pandemic ends so we must try with harder than before.
but we also need to do something different in order to improve not just patient because after all life not to go on, so if we can be comfortable why not, through all the hard work we might make it.
when hardwork finally pays off then at least we don't have to be stressed by finance condition again, because we can't lie that the stress is mentally exhausting and doesn't matter how optimistic we are, we would always have some thoughts about this, therefore escaping financial crisis is the way.
How do we get patient with life? Especially in this dispensation when everything seems to have sky rocketed, life is been lived on the fast lane, making money as well and trying to live patiently for a best time is something you would have a had time doing.

Hard times calls for different measures and means to archive a goal. Even in the pandemic there were windows of opportunities it came with for making money. Food items became expensive and sanitary items where a priority which and the market on these where pushed up and it created an online awareness for every one with the stay at home culture it came with.

Maybe I'm stressing out too much because I'm yet to find proper housing to establish myself again after being away for over a year in the military. I'm generally an anxious person myself, but does anyone else feel the same, and how do you deal with it? How do you stay optimistic?
Away for a military tour huh! That’s a good one and thank you to have been there for the rest of us and making society a peaceful place to live.

Rather than worry, look for solutions to improve your current predicament, it would serve you more than just worrying!

My mother has a dream to build a house, maybe in the future I will have to help her fulfill her dream because my father is spending the money he earns on my education and running the family so at the moment he cannot afford to build a house. I have already gained enough knowledge about trading by being involved with Bitcoin, firstly I want to start my Bitcoin journey through trading, after making some money from trading I plan to invest in Bitcoin for four years. These four years I will hold my investment and also save the money earned from trading or signature campaign for four years so that after four years I can start building the house. 
I don’t think there is anything ridiculous about how your family faired or what dreams you’ve got but, I must say, it’s a huge dream you know! Planning yo erected a building out of your Investments in Bitcoin and Bitcoin trading.

Trading happens to be a very experienced path to walk your way through to your dreams but, it’s the most productive as well and as such, if you feel you’ve got enough experience to play in the sea of these experience traders, both professionals, then you could give it a shot. It would be bumpy but, you would grow along the line.

You must pray for me so that I can fulfill my mother's dream.
I must say, the word “must” as used here isn’t a very polite way to ask for our prayers on your course. We all hope you archive your dreams but, don’t put all your hopes on Bitcoin. Be sure to add other investments as well.
