I love the concept of this thread, there is a proverb that says "A fruit does not fall far from its tree" relating this to the topic, it means even with the false news and lies or bad stories and records about our governments there are good did of the governments that we usually ignore and focus on the negativity.

Well, from my perspective my country's incumbent president and his regime are actually trying their best to help reduce the inflation the country but because of our shadowed knowledge on their activities we believe they ain't doing nothing. But one thing is certain my county needs to learn alot from other countries instead of others to learn from them.

My question for you is how exactly do you want the government or a country to proof to you in particular that they have nuclear weapons. From history I believe you should read some stories or past events where nuclear weapons are use in other countries that either lead to war or some thing else.

One thing I will advise you if you feel everything is a lie just live your life out of the news and focus on other things than complain too much.

Fun fact: in every lie there is an atom of truth. Even if our politicians and governments are lying to use the truth is not far from it.

Corruption has been rooted in us for so long that it can't be reshaped now. Greed is the core root of corruption which equally means that we all have our inbuilt corruption that is quiet exposed as soon as we come in contact with the catalyst. and what are the catalyst of corruptions? there are so many e.g power, money etc so we can't concluded one catalyst as the cause of corruption in any country.

If someone has move from software wallet to a hardware like trezor I believe he/she most have know the pros and cons or does and don't of wallets. So from my perspective I don't want to believe that someone would fall for this simple trick of sending your passphrase to anyone. Even before you could finish setting up your trezor wallets passphrase there is a caution that says "do not give out your passphrase to anyone it's your private property." That should be enough warning except for the fact that it was targeted on users who might have been offline.

This is usually not a problem with buying the dips, from you perspective it seems difficult to dilute the whole concept but let's buttress; no matter the price fall of Bitcoin it's still an opportunity for you to accumulate more Bitcoin, If you bought the dips around 42k price and the continue falling to a 40k and then to 38k price it doesn't call for panic rather it's another opportunity to grab more bitcoin. instead of getting confused you should make use of all the dips whether a 40k dip or 38k dip you should buy more when it dips because sure the price will bounce back and when it does it now becomes a discount for you. instead of buying at a high price that's the essence of buying the dips. And this kind of issues are one of the major reasons why we are advised to aways be prepared for the two ways movement of the Bitcoin market, if it falls more because you're prepared you will seize the opportunity to buy more and when the price goes up you become more profitable.

From the concept of the thread which is buy the dip and hodl you should start understanding that the dips are not a problem rather an opportunity in the Bitcoin market.

Although I fall under the first class which is new investors but I disagree with the description because as a new investors most my investment aren't from the help or contribution of family and friends there all my efforts but from what you're tryna explain I know what you meant but you should have elaborated a little bit than summarize with the one line of family and friends contributing to your small business.

Additionally, I believe I'm also part of the ponzi scheme investor because prior to be knowledge in Bitcoin and the crypto space at large I usually think of making little investments that can hold for a few years and become so rich as the early investors in Bitcoin and I guess most of us here was driven by this motive too.

Having a skill is a very important but what's more important is knowledge how to use your skill for a good course. one could learn a skill and be the best that he can in his field yet wouldn't make a good profit or succeed in his area or skill because he lacks the basic knowledge. just Hawlet said above there are many attributes that contribute to ones success in any business and those attributes should be put in place first.

Although for me I have a skill that I'm striving to become more perfect in it that even the best of the best would have some things to learn from me. Right now, the world is in a stage where people what's freedom and that's exactly what I wanted from the onset so choose a skill that will never lead me to being employed by someone else rather I will have to employ others to work for me.

Additionally, one can live off the physical skill life with the internet though we still consider them as skills but they aren't physically remote jobs. like content creation, graphics design, software development etc this are skills too but are not like the physical skills that we acquire. One can hold onto them and live the best of live with them.

I have heard of many logics but this particular logic I haven't heard of before. So if the more knowledge I have the more money i will make is going to be possible what happened to my professors in university, because if it's measured by the knowledge or skill I suppose this calibers of human being are supposed to be the richest in the world right now. so what really happened that they are not the richest is it because they don't have luck or they haven't read enough so I guess this logic is not correct.

I believe your perspective of reasoning is based on where you are; maybe you were brought up in such a way that education (knowledge) is the primary key to money or success whereas they are more to that than just learning or having knowledge or skill because if you ever evaluate from the rich people you will know that sometimes luck applies, sometimes some people are born with silver spoon so they are fortunate enough to become more richer than every other person or that's an ancient logic that is not longer working now.

I have seen you lately complaining about your loneliness of unhappy life but I keep pondering to myself what exactly is wrong with you? Because I don't really understand why you keep discussing your personal life here know too well that the forum can't but only suggest to you different ways of copping with your life.

Buddy I will also suggest you go for therapy to get yourself out of whatever you think you're going through! Life is too short to waste them unhappy. Go get yourself back and be on your best of life.

This another strategy for office attainment, trump has just discovered that most of the citizens are not really aware of the control they (government) have over their finances or life in general. So he just have to pose the CBDCs as the major threat that will take away the freedom of people whereas him and his colleagues are the real threat they (citizens) have. As soon as he gets to the office he will surely be the sponsor to central control of citizens to satisfy his selfish aim.

Even right now we are probably in the control system of the government and at least Bitcoin and it's decentralized system is the remedy for us. Some times I use to tell myself that Satoshi Nakamoto was one of the people who learnt that the government is in control of citizens lives that's why he decide to fight them anonymously with Bitcoin as decentralized currency.


You summarized my point here. I don't have enough smerit that would have been my way of showing how I love the comment.

Peace°

One thing I can say about the idea of using Blockchain technology for elections is that it varies from one country to another. if electronic election is currently possible in your country well mine it's not even with the few attempts that seems to have succeed yet it's still manipulated.

With the rate of corruption in electoral process I believe it's very much good to use Blockchain technology as a means to achieve free and fair election that will produce the accurate result but there are still so many disadvantages attached to it that's why the idea can't really be bought for now.

Well congratulations madam I suppose! you must have put in alot of efforts in writing this kind of post but it's looks a kind of phishing because of the current rate of things in the country and the amount you mentioned above.

If we start by making an estimate of what must have been spent in that business of yours it's probably going to amount around 5-6 million if am not mistaking or less or more. From what I'm seeing in the image you uploaded the bar as you called it is way too expensive from my perspective and you must be missing some lines here. But at least congratulations once again.

For accepting Bitcoin as payment method based on how the country is right now I will suggest you stick to the fiat currency because this idea of yours will surely attract some kind of attention to you. Plus the fact that your dad holds public office in the state I guess you're putting yourself in a kind of danger. This is just a mere opinion it your decision, place the ball in your court.

I wouldn't say it's not possible, Yeah because before JP Morgan made such statement he must have done some research and found the possibility rate to be high, so he wouldn't just say things for saying sake.

But IMO, I don't believe it's gonna ever happen because of the trust it have already gain and investors believe that in less than no time BTC will be so scarce that the ones that has been held already will now become so expensive then their profits will be so guaranteed. So if this 21 million feature of bitcoin is lost the value will drop hence investors will loss interest gradually everything that has been working well will now be like every other Altcoins. Which is a major reason it won't be possible.

Are there still people who ask this kind of question ? like don't you have Google in your devices? google is your friend and if what you read about him isn't enough you can go find him yourself and when you do so help me say hi!

I keep wondering why people still wants to know who Satoshi is when they have heard that he disappeared for over a decade now and yet governments can't find him. Is it just an individual that is supposed to know him? Well I don't really care to know him but since I'm using his invention I only got to appreciate his work than ask questions that don't have answers.

One thing I can tell you is convenience and privacy does not go together, you must choose one to follow. If you want privacy using Bitcoin as payment in a restaurant wouldn't work as expected because you have a lot of work to do before you can make a safe payment that can't be looked up. E.g Using mixers etc. and after mixing you will not have to move your coins back to the main wallet or the origin but a brand new wallet that will still require more expenses. So I will suggest you use other payment method for convenience than Bitcoin for $200 worth of food.

Privacy is expensive and takes alot of carefulness and time to get maximum privacy so you have to choose between privacy and convenience.

If you dey talk about lucrative jobs I understand say no be only physical businesses dey lucrative, you fit dey online dey make your money on soft as Mr. brainboss list am here.

For me, I be photographer and graphic designer. I believe say this work fit make me as much as I want both physical and online as side hustle and main job self. Just as plenty people don succeed to launch there services here and them get many trust so if I launch my own graphic design service here E fit dey pay me well too plus photography wey dem dey do online now. just enter any of our industries as photographer you go make better money there.
Infact e get plenty ways to make money just dey dedicated for your work.

in as much as I no be churchy person but anything wey concern death dey traumatize me because of the kind thing we I don experience. for the man case wey say him know the date wey him go die I pity am Sha and I still believe say  baba God fit turn the hand of things to the right way make him no die again.

As you suggest prayer I me personally go pray but I don't know for others and any how, any how we go still miss the man sha especially those of una wey dey technical boards go miss am pass. May God revive him Sha.

One thing that I have learnt and expect others to learn too is growing a thicker skin here in the forum. no matter the response of how ill mannered a response (comment) is I will never make a personal attack on the commenter.

humans are built differently and as such I wouldn't be expecting everyone to act the same or be of good manners. So whoever is bordered about the manners of comments should learn to move on and forget about this shits. one things is certain some of this senior colleagues will always throw stones at you but use them to build yourself instead of throwing it back at them.

This is a good warning to keep us at alert but my concern is even with the known shortcut files it hard to dictate the ones that are gonna contain this malware because I have seen alot of known shortcut files that are replaced with punnycodes shortcuts making it look almost exactly the same with the known shortcut files.

That's why we are advised to use airgapped devices for storing our crypto assets in order to be safe from all this malware attacks.

Even with your smart approach of advertising another altcoin, I know and most of us here know that your surely shilling for some coin that you have refused to mention yet but actually waiting for some to request you to mention the particular coin.

We all know this strategies but I would love to say take such post to altcoin discussion.

Like the two to three coins mentioned above they both provide speed for payments but aren't safe as Bitcoin, so what do you prefer? Safety or speed? Centralized or decentralized (privacy).
