It’s good achievement for you OP and just as you mentioned it’s a gradual process something so gradually you will achieve greater heights in the forum as you wish but the most important thing is not just moving up the ranks but also put all you have learned into good use here on the forum and you should let your knowledge speak for you here and not be the type that has a high rank profile with the knowledge of a member rank. 
Challenges faced are what make us strong and want to keep fighting in order to achieve our goals and it’s the same spirit here, I seriously congratulate you on your latest achievement i hope you won’t let it get into your head and feel relaxed.

Earning merits and unlocking new activities is not everything in this forum, your contributions is all that matters so I would ask you, if you eventually achieve the highest rank here which I believe is your goal here so what’s next?
What will you be doing in the forum, how will you feel when you finally achieve your goal.

If you still have challenges of identifying the best suited board for a post by this time then you still have a long way to go. As others mentioned, please move this thread to the Reputation board it is best suited there.

My biggest regret uptil now was missing out on the opportunity to Purchase bitcoin few years back when it was more cheaper, i had a close relative of mine who liked me and he was into cryptocurrency and wanted to teach me about it. He even laid more emphasis on acquiring Bitcoin and some few alt coins. That year alot of things happened in country, different investment platforms came into life and they all got people scammed all over the country so a lot of people were scared of online investments of any sort. I was also scammed in one of these platforms so i was scared to invest in any other platform so i didn’t take Bitcoin seriously and thought it was no different from the other scam investments.

This relative of mine tried to explain it to me properly and he also tried to prove that bitcoin was different and special but i didn’t give him listening ears. Few months later bitcoin became hot and more popular and i was seeing and hearing how people made a fortune out of it but despite that i still didn’t invest. Few years later i got interested in it but it was too late for me, this relative of mine passed away and i had no one to put me through so i missed out for a couple of years but i am lucky to have finally started my bitcoin journey. It is better late than never.

We are all aware of Newcastle’s performance and how well they play against stronger opponents, i am very certain they will bring the same spirit tonight. This match will be very difficult and strong and if Manchester United does not improve their performance tonight they may also end up losing again. Ten hag has not shown any special effects and it’s more like the team is going backwards under him.

Everyone has their favorite games and it all depends on preference and the one we see as the most enjoyable and entertaining so if you already know about different types of games then it shouldn’t be difficult for you to pick your favorite game and most entertaining.

Starting with a low budget is good as a beginner, you should also have limits to the way you deposit money into the casino. Also don’t let winning or losing get the best of you because it will only make you lose more and become an addict. Set aside a fixed amount for gambling for a certain period and always stick to that practice no matter what happens.

Yes it can, but you yourself play the bigger role in becoming an addict, you have to keep your gambling habits in check always and never prioritize gambling or see it as a job, it should only be played for entertainment purposes only then you can prevent gambling addiction.

WOW!! Once again a newbie account is here teaching others the basics of cryptocurrency and expects us to applaud his efforts. He just created an account and in less than an hour he came up with a post teaching other newbies the basics of cryptocurrency, how are we even sure it’s not a copy paste post? OP who should be in his learning phase suddenly proves he was born with crypto knowledge except if it’s an expert behind this account who have already gone past the learning process.

He is aware he will be criticized making this post from a brand new account so if probably want to delete every comment against his post or probably doesn’t know what self moderation means. It’s really useless making this post self moderated.

What do you expect from someone who skips basic education and jumps to tertiary institution, he will definitely lack a lot that’s why OP’s explanation is not it and will be difficult for beginners to comprehend. It’s clear he just looking for ways to earn merits.

OP it will better to learn about cryptocurrency properly before trying to educate others, you are in the right place to learn because everyone here is still learning so there is no shame in learning and even high rank members also passed through this learning phase before getting to where they are now. Let me share with you some useful links where you can learn about bitcoin and increase your knowledge about cryptocurrency.

These books and websites are a good place to start, in my opinion.
https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook
https://learnmeabitcoin.com/
Begginers and Help Encyclopedia by Ratimov. It contains helpful posts from members of this community on various topics related to bitcoin, blockchain, and cryptocurrency expertise. It is quite helpful for beginners at first.

And if you have a particular question, you might find the answer either on https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/ or on this forum, you can also ask questions here regarding certain topics difficult to understand.
You can make use of https://ninjastic.space/search to perform search on this forum, which is, in my opinion, superior and easier than the forum's built-in search tool.

Wow OP you have really done a good job putting all this together, it would really help a lot of newbies here who come to forum without learning how to ise the search button. Old members must have definitely come across similar posts in the past, I myself have come across similar post but anyways it is good to bring it up once more since most of the old threads would be difficult for newbies to find.

A lot of people may think the term “security” may be over hyped and are careless in handling their online accounts  and it have seen a lot of of them lose their assets and accounts. In the internet and crypto space security is the most important thing one need to learn before any other thing else. It no news how scam is rampant on the internet and since we can’t locate ourselves physically a lot of people use this as an opportunity to scam others so we should always be careful how we interact with people on the internet and not give out personal informations.

This is a very important point because when you log in to your account with different devices it increases the chances of your account being compromised as your account is being exposed. Having a private device where only you can access your account is the best because when there is a new log in to your account from a different device you will be logged out from your main device so one can easily know when there is a log in attempt.

A lot of people are used to this practice of having same password for all their social media accounts and platforms which is a risky practice because once one account password is compromised then every other accounts is compromised and can easily be accessed. Just as OP mentioned it’s best to have a different password for each accounts.

This is a good point and newbies should take note of this, their accounts might not be useful for hackers now but in the near future when they have increased in rank losing their account will be painful after moving up the rank so it’s better to safeguard your accounts from the earliest days so you don’t regret being careless in the future.
 

It is too early to conclude that it is addiction but that is how addiction starts, when you are unable to control emotions especially either when you keep losing or keep winning and you don’t know when to stop it is going to become a big problem when you don’t tackle it on time.

It’s normal losing money when gambling but we should always keep our emotions in check and never to allow greed interfere. Also it is best you stick to your non regular gambling and just stick to funding your wallet once a week and make sure you set a limit of not exceeding a certain amount of funding. It is not easy but you should train your mind to adapt so you don’t end up an addict.

Welcome onboard, its always good seeing new members join the community but we have seen couple of new members join and claim they want to learn about Bitcoin but in the end they disappear and we don’t see them anymore. We know it’s not easy especially when you are interested in moving your rank here as a newbie so some newbies want to skip the learning process and try to impress others with good post and they end up breaking the forum rules and in the end they get their accounts banned or tagged. All i am saying in essence is for you to stick to the forum rules and regulation at all costs and never skip the learning process.

I can see you made mention of reading a site, it is the best thing to do and it will help you alot in your interest in bitcoin, and also some links are being shared with you already make sure to take a look if really you are interested in learning about bitcoin as you claim. The forum is packed with lots of informative tools that will guide you through and don’t hesitate to ask questions when you need clarification.

Reading your post about how you talk of Chelsea’s investment in young players make me see it as if they invested in Bitcoin. Signing young players is good and it can be beneficial in the long run but without a good coach that would build them and have trust in them they can be a great problem for the team especially when the team desperately needs to do better. It can take time but with the right coach they are the best. It is good investment for chelsea, but they need results desperately to challenge more so i will advise if they can add an experienced striker to their team to score the goals so other players can be motivated as well.

Chelsea fans don’t have patience, they just want quick and fast development which cannot be done because even Rome was not built in a day and if you check Arsenal’s development period you will see it also took them time as well, people criticized them alot and told Arteta young players are not the solution but he proved everyone wrong but he was given enough time. Chelsea needs to do the same thing and exercise patience. Chelsea have enough promising youngsters so all they need now is just time.

Exactly, as the best in the world you need to show more than an average performance which Haaland did, he won the champions league, premier league, FA cup as well and was the highest goal scorer in the premier league, he scored nearly 50 goals and they say it’s not enough, so ridiculous . Most people who think like @temple here are just blind messi fans who just don’t want to admit the fact that this is pure robbery, Haaland was robbed this year and even messi himself admitted Haaland deserved it. Messi did nothing spectacular this year he only won the world cup and why didn’t players who won the world cup back in the years messi won Ballon D’or win the Award? The france Award is corrupt and it is not awarded based on merit anymore because this is an obvious robbery and i can never take the Ballon d’or award seriously anymore.

Messi went to PSG and failed to show impact and ran to the MLS and still couldn’t show any real impact in the MLS league, his team have been suffering back to back losses and are about to be relegated and they still went on to gift him the award, it’s so funny.

As week goes by Manchester United’s performance seems to be depreciating and it now looks as if they don’t have a coach or the coach is not even having any impact on the team. Manchester United coach and the entire fan treated Ronaldo badly despite giving everything for them in his second spell at the club, he was disrespected and it could be the cause of their poor performance.

Everything was totally wrong in the match, Manchester United lack marking discipline they play as if they are being forced to play, no tactical play of any sort, no game play pattern, everyone just running up and down the field the way they like. It’s so terrible for them, the coach need to be seriously questioned else they will keep going in that direction because he has spent enough time in the team for his impact to start showing.

Manchester City humiliated them at their own grounds without any fight back it is so disappointing.

This forum don help a lot of people and there is no denying it that there are some people are here just to earn but  also there some who are here to learn either way everyone has his choice to make. We are all in here in this life trying to grasp every possible opportunity that comes our way. Bitcointalk have been helpful to alot of people both directly and indirectly, there are times these signature payments have helped me out of some situations so I don’t regret participating in it.

Aside participating in signature campaigns here on the forum i no get hand work wey i learn but i have been able to save up and started a little business on my own, i sell football boots and also i de play ball and my dreams na to become a professional and with God i de hope say one day my dream go come true.

Omo you no come play oo, how you take de manage all this things at the same time. I see say we get small thing in common football, Good luck on your coaching career.

They lack consistency and it seem to me as if they only play better against bigger teams because I don’t see how you will give a fantastic and shocking performance against Arsenal and the next weekend just loose to a struggling bottom table side that only managed a win in their last 3 games. Brentford have now extended their record for 3 straight home wins at the bridge so disappointing for chelsea and their fans. If they are not careful they could drop to the relegation zone but I doubt if they will get relegated because all they lack is a clinical goal scorer. Jackson is not up to the task and he plays as if he is not a striker.

Exactly my point too, why would they give good performance against Liverpool and Arsenal and even end up a draw match but against smaller clubs they find it difficult to win. All the matches they lost so far has been against middle class and lower class teams and to be able to challenge for the league or even top 4 these easy matches are the matches you shouldn’t joke with no matter what, that what Arsenal and Manchester City are good at that’s why they are dominating recently. Win small matches and go head to head with bigger teams and try to get a point or 3 if possible.
I stop betting on Chelsea also because of their lack of consistency, you can never know the matches they can even win.

Al Hilal have actually proven how far they can go in the league this season, they have been excellent and their performance seems to improve as weeks goes by, they dominated the match against Al Ahli team that showed lack of maturity amongst themselves they didn’t play together as everyone wanted to display their individual talents. Mahrez disappointed me the most, he lost too many possessions casually and it affected the team badly. The match was interesting but Al Hilal showed us why they are top of the table they were as clinical as always even though they missed a couple of chances.

You’re right, sometimes football doesn’t work that way but since Chelsea is playing at home they should be strong enough to beat Brentford who are currently struggling to win, they only won once in their last 6 games which is something chelsea can capitalize on as it stands. Chelsea have improved massively in recent games and their games against in form Arsenal proved it to everyone i think what they only lack currently is clinicality up front their attackers are scoring goals but wasting chances too much that is why they got punished by Arsenal to come back in the game last weekend.

Chelsea are not up there as it stands but with the way they play and the way Brentford are struggling they should be able to win comfortably today if they play the way they played against Arsenal. Brentford cannot be underrated but due to their poor performance recently Chelsea have more chances of winning.

With all they have accomplished with him no Bayern Munich fan will not be happy to see him finally recover from injury and join up with the squad. Not sure if he was even included in the teams squad list for the season because i didn’t see his name among others so i don’t know if he would be available for selection when he is fully fit and ready for action. Manuel Neuer is a very experienced player who will add so much quality to the team and will make them stronger to even challenge for any trophy, his experience and expertise will be really helpful and since the team is already highly spirited and the he will help them improve their winning record.

To me It’s not like a test as you call it and your meaning of winning big is something i feel is way more than i have ever experienced since my journey of gambling began. I have never won a significant amount before but i have won a few time even though it’s not a big win but whenever i win I always withdraw my winnings and spend it on things that needed to be done and pause for the week because I always set aside a percentage of my weekly earnings for gambling and only gamble once a week. I always keep my gambling addiction in check, I knock becoming an addict is bad for me so i don’t risk it even though it can be tempting sometimes.

A lot of gamblers are faced with this problem and it has happened to them countless times but they never learn. There’s nothing wrong in gambling again but you should be aware of its risk and only leave some percentage in the casino incase you want to gamble again and withdraw some for other purposes. If I should happen to win big i will not hesitate to cashout my winnings and leave a small amount to try my luck again.

I also got this message few days back but immediately i clicked it i just deleted the message because of the information they were asking for, I know what they are planning to do, these are the kind of messages that try to get peoples information so they can carry out scam activities on them or with their informations. My fear is the number of people that will fall victim for these scam because of the hardship we are currently experiencing in the country. People don’t need much convincing when it comes to money, people go to any length andbeven risk everything just to get money. It is good of you sharing this post with us here but i still don’t think it will be enough because i fear for those who are not opportuned to be here, they will easily be misled by this people as everyone will be seeking to try their luck to be one of the lucky people to get the palliative.

Nowadays we no really need suffer ourselves on top getting news as e dey before, to de see news now no be hard something because even for social media now we fit de see any type of news and content if we de follow the right people. My twitter has been my major source when it comes to news but everyone might have a different source like for my brother Instagram is where he gets his latest news from.

From the name you should already know the forum will provide us with necessary information to uplift its members knowledge about bitcoin. This forum has been a great help for me as well in terms of cryptocurrency news, most breaking news brought here are being published elsewhere before being posted here but it is really helpful because we might have missed out on some interesting news then later find it here.

Some people might have a different source that is more reliable than some of the sites you provided but i don’t think it matters a bit, we all cannot have the same sources we get news from all that matters is to get the necessary information at the right time. All this site you have listed are good news sources and i am quite familiar with all but crypto briefing.

Of recent Barcelona have been dominating against Real Madrid and its more like to Xavi Real Madrid is his best opponent and he loves playing against them. In their last 5 meetings Real Madrid have only managed to win just one match against Barcelona which was in the Copa del Rey semi final which saw them qualify for the finals.

Barca won their last match 3-0 exactly as you said but the question is can they repeat the same thing this time around? I don’t think it would be possible considering the number of injuries they are suffering from recently, a lot of key players have been injured and I don’t think the substitute players can carry out the job and another important player Joao Felix picked up an injury in their last champions league match against Shaktar Donetsk.

We all know Barcelona always take the El clasico seriously but this time I don’t think they can do anything, i think they should rather pray for a draw if not it will be difficult to win this time but Madrid are also not consistent with their playing even though they have a fine record of wins in their recent matches i just hope they can be at their best to capitalize on this opportunity to extend their lead towards the title charge.
