801  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stay away from crypto influencers on: December 09, 2023, 11:24:25 AM
No service is free in Cryptocurrency. All crypto influencers charge a fee to promote a project. And what they do for money can never be honest advice. This is a major source of their income. So I don't follow any such influencers.
If they're saying that they're not charged to promote, don't believe with that word.

These influencers are making money from influencing their audiences and fans with anything they say. And if they truly are not paid to do that, there could be some x deal behind that.

Or way better offer than being paid but like having a share on how much it will be for the percentage of profit after the promotion done by them.
Those influencers get paid after advertising any coin aside from advertising cryto influencers don't just advertise a product just because they love the product they get paid for advertising, the worst part is most influencers don't even know the purpose of the coin, I don't think they own any coin, I will not blame influencers rather I will blame credulous investors.
It depends on the kind of influencer or coin sometimes most people get lucky in the process it all depends on the coin, while some investors after encountering loss in the market they will choose to share their story for others to learn, this topic has been the common topic it's best to discuss topics like this so everyone can learn.
802  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][EMC] Eloncoin - Mars, here we come!! 🚀 - POS Energy Efficient. on: December 09, 2023, 07:14:32 AM

It requires a project to be hugely establish, a bigger community to get listed in a top-tier exchange. EMC is yet to be that coin so it's not coming anytime soon.

You are absolutely right that it requires massive community support and project development, and  I believe efforts are on and its seems to be going well behind the team as Eloncoin team is actively working. The campaign on Bitcointalk is also helping in big way to build community of this project. The team should also explore possibility to launch twitter and telegram social media campaigns to further amplify their outreach and attract more attention.
For Eloncoin to be listed in the Dex-Trading platform is a very good news. And the next thing is to expand the listing to other exchanges. Eloncoin is one of the fast growing coins in the ecosystem. And add it to what you guys have said, they (Eloncoin) should also use the second booming forum to advertise the project https://www.altcoinstalks.com/, I think that forum is about to cause traffic with users because the present with mixers there, if this project go there, it will create more pupolation.
Yes it is good to have a massive support so that the uses of the coin will increase.

Sometimes in games like this, Arsenal usually give very little in away games and their control is always crazy. Don’t be shocked if Aston Villa are reduced to crumbs and do most of the defending. Manchester City had a lot spaces to exploit but they were just flat.
Let's not forget that the coach of Aston Villa, unai Emery once coached Arsenal and as such may know a thing or two on what to expect and prepare his boys equally for them. The Gunners have played a total of 52 games since 1995 and have won 31 against Aston villa and would be looking to clinch another three points. Their away form is considered excellent but I'm fearful for tomorrow. Quite true they lead the league ATM but knowing them, they can choose to fail to deliver in this crucial games maybe due to over confidence.I know Arteta won't take the game lightly but you never can tell for his men.

 I hope they maintain their reign by winning the game tomorrow else Liverpool will not hesitate to topple them as we know Crystal Palace is not really a challenge.
You're right tho unai Emery coached Arsenal and he signed excellent players during his season, I loved the way he coached Arsenal during that season 2018 but I doubt if he knows the new statistics, in my opinion he knows nothing even if Aston villa will win tomorrow match we should give the players the credit not the coach I don't think Aston Villa can withstand Arsenal sincerely speaking just because they won Manchester city doesn't guarantee a win in all their match, the fact is we should not put high expectations on big team cause small teams this season are on fire.

With your predictions on Liverpool vs crystal palace it seems you've foresee the match, why underrating crystal palace let's not forget this season has not been stable so we should limit our expectations, if I want to predict definitely I will choose Liverpool but it doesn't work that way this  season

Aside from privacy know the way you appear or you present yourself outside, dress the way you want to be address, hardly I see police check person phone even if them wan check look the people well no be gentle person, but even if police check your phone today see bitcoin or bitcoin related app wetin you expect them to do? Bitcoin na money and there's nothing wrong having an app nothing else.
Secondly government no ban bitcoin even our current president make speech during he campaign say he go allow the use of block chain and crypto for naija but we see dey wait, even if police wan harass person when person go against law no be for bitcoin, holding bitcoin is not a crime for me no big deal they sha.

805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: December 08, 2023, 02:30:04 PM
~snip~
Because he was easily tempted by the gambling he saw there, when he won he should have gone home and stopped instead he placed another bet. It is difficult to control oneself when people are addicted to gambling, it is difficult to advise and they do not use common sense to make wise decisions. It's true, what gamblers have to do when they win or lose two or three times is to stop first to calm their minds to get better, and when they recover, return to the casino in a good state of mind.
That's what often happens to gamblers, not just him because by winning, he doesn't choose to stop gambling but instead continues gambling. And when he lost, he considered it normal and continued playing. After playing for some time, he experienced total loss, where all his money was used up for gambling because he wanted to chase a bigger win. But that won't always happen for those who still want a big win because it will depend on the luck they have. That is what we must avoid if we have won, and we should immediately cash out the winnings and leave the casino so that we are not interested in trying other gambling games.
Talking about luck here,is it really true that gambling is all about luck?I don't know why it is hard for me to believe that Luck is the main reasons why people win games.I think there are people who predict games and are winning them daily,could we say they are lucky too? I don't think so,I think Prediction has to be a proper check of past,and present form,and  a careful check of how they play when they are at particular place,or ground.people who believe that luck is the main reason why they win games will find it difficult to win games because they will predict out of what they think in their mind,and won't take a proper look at how the team is performing at the moment,and whats the best option to chose,because they believe as long if luck is on their side,they win.
Gambling doesn't determine how lucky the person is people will always say you won cause you're Lucky there's nothing like luck but people get convince easily, if gambling comes with Luck everyone will be lucky, I think before betting for a game you need to study the game properly and it doesn't guarantee a win
Reckless gambling doesn't start after a win or loss it just depends on the person view if the person choose gambling as a career then that person will always choose to bet regardless of the situation most especially for beginniners they will always want to challenge their limit and go further not minding the consequences

807  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Time to be cautious: Everyone is not market expert on: December 08, 2023, 01:31:41 PM
Sadly this is what drives the novice/beginners crazy. I once had someone telling me that a popular YouTuber said this and said that, and I had to tell him that these people are just human like he is and have their own viewpoint which isn’t necessarily the truth. Cryptocurrency as a whole doesn’t have anyone that it talks to and maybe give them a heads up. It’s always speculation and surprise. No one ever sees it 100% completely coming. As usual, do your own research and when you’re done, invest only the amount you can afford losing.
I think this is the common problem in the crypto market, everyone acting to know but the truth is no one can predict the market 100% rightly, everyone pretending to know mostly on social media commonly on Telegram no doubt they're humans like us and they have their own view on the market it's not a must to believe, just like the way everyone has their own predictions but the difference is they decide to broadcast their predictions on social platforms. No one can be an expert in the market that's just the truth, surprising beginners will fall for this trick and some investors who lack the idea of making research, it's best to make research and do your own thing

I read an article where it was reported that methamphetamine is now cheaper than food and water in Laos food and water. The price of this drug has dropped because of an increase in production. I don't think drug addiction will ever come to an end it will keep increasing in the future. In my country children as small as twelve are drug sellers. The internet is not also helping matters because one can order of drug from the comfort of his home and it will be delivered to his doorstep. Law enforcement agencies that would have curtailed the activities of drug barons are so corrupt that they receive bribes and give these criminals the privilege of flooding the city with drugs.

Anyone who has decided to take hard drugs just to work hard to earn more money or anyone who has decided to abuse drugs made for treatment will face the consequences, the op is right the use of hard drugs is something else and the more people die cause of hard drugs the more adopters we get, people will never change.
I will not blame the Internet or anyone trying to sell, why blaming them? That's their business and if they refuse to sell those boys will buy somewhere else
Check properly, children who sell hard drugs are always affected and will always regret, I will blame the parents and not the child, kids get easily influenced and they need a guide that's why parents should always guide their kids.

drugs is inside your foods too, your favorite chicken wing is full of drugs which induce aging and grow muscle, when you eat the chicken you absorb the drug too, the drug take effects on all labs rat and also on human flesh, as long as it is meat it cam absorb the drug.
I don't know what you're trying to say I'm actually referring to hard drugs not chemical preservative, although some food we eat are highly medicinal, I don't really understand your idea or you're trying to say the food we eat are made with hard drugs or what?
Chemical preservative are used to preserve our food like the benzoic acid, patassium etc, the meat or chicken you mentioned are preserved with nitrites although it has negative side effects, the chemical preservative in our food cause more harms in our body system but the problem is we can't stop eating such food cause those preservative are meant to protect the food from getting spoiled or bacteria.
If you're talking about the natural food like vegetable, avocado, apple etc that doesn't require preservative.
809  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2023/2024 on: December 08, 2023, 11:50:00 AM
What a terrible performance from Manchester City... This Aston Villa match is surely going to be one of the unforgettable matches for Guardiola. Because this was the most desperate match ever for the team so far. I don't remember Manchester City this desperate in the attacking line. They couldn't even have a single goal attempt in the second half.

I wonder what happened to this team at halftime.  Huh  What did Guardiola tell these players at halftime after that bad performance? They just handed over the win to their opponent here and caused my bet to lose at the same time.
I don't really know what's happening in EPL currently, big teams are really dropping form and losing to teams you least expected. Its very much appalling how Newcastle that destroyed Chelsea and others, lost to mere Everton, how Manchester city in their Glory and goal records couldn't secure a single  goal against  Aston villa. You can't just predict the bookies right now cos teams are really unstable, or would I say maybe matches now sold?. Newcastle's own pained me more than ever as I thought they would win Everton easily,  added it in my bet slip to win or draw and only that nonsense game cut my coupon. We move shaa!!.
That's just it, you will have to accept the fact that no team is weak this season, every team both the big and small teams are all competing, I will not just judge Manchester city yet they actually know what to do, everyone is hoping for a come back.
I don't really understand why did everyone underrated Aston villa I don't understand. Aston villa is also a strong team  and let's watch out for the Arsenal vs Aston villa I think after this match we will see the strength of Aston villa, Aston might win let's not just bet because we know the strength of big teams
810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: December 07, 2023, 09:54:58 PM
After seeing Manchester City's performance recently I started to doubt their future performances in the Champions League also. Because there is a huge decline in their performance. After getting 3 draws in a row in the Premier League they played a horrible game against Aston Villa. They were not much different than a ghost on the pitch.  Sad

If Guardiola can't make this team recover as soon as possible I'm really worried about their future in the season. They might finish it without a big title.

I wonder what the reason behind has been so far. Because everything started all of a sudden and still goes on badly for many weeks.
I don't think Manchester city will take any title this season, this season is one of the tough and interesting season every team coming out with competition, I don't know what's wrong with city boys and they need to sit up and take actions very quick or they'll not go far talk less of winning a title this season. I don't think pep is the problem and let's not blame pep yet, the team need time I think the pressure is just too much and they're trying, but I can't believe the fact that Villa won Manchester city, if they continue like this how will they win the next match, although they might win but let's not expect anything yet.
811  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is cyber crime the last resort of the struggling Nigerians on: December 07, 2023, 09:07:40 PM
The issue with Nigerians is just something else, if you like leave fraud start doing social media influencer na wayward life them go call you, people will always critize and there's no need paying attention, no be say Internet fraud na good thing oh but na Nigerians life be this always finding fault in someone else problem.
Okay even if 70% of boys dey into cyber crime that's their own business even if the 70% turn to thief today na the country go suffer am, when I see people like this sometimes they actually want a good job or an office work that's more better but where's the office work?
Instead of them to find a way to stop the issue with cyber crime in Nigeria they're busy complaining and they expect those fraudsters to stop if they stop who will pay their bills.
With the hard economy right now everyone is looking for a way to survive and na this season ritualist dey full so it's best to be careful this season, even local online  scammers will not stop so there's no need complaining
812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 07, 2023, 04:01:21 PM
After yesterday's game I can agree with everyone that Man City are having a bad season for the first time in a long time and we see that Haaland is not really the player who can create chances for himself, I don't think he deserves to be compared to Mbappe and Vinicius Junior but I guess when Rodri, Doku and Kdb comes back from injury the team will be back.

Chelsea was really disappointing yesterday, what would it take for them to have a win against Manchester United because the last time this happened Morata scored the only goal in Stamford bridge 2017 while the last time this happened at Old Trafford 2013 and Mata scored the only goal. Maybe Poch claim of them being tired was the reason since they actually had only 1 day rest but truth be told I don't really buy that excuse and what is wrong with Jackson, Nkunku should be fast with recovery, hoping he performs well though and not just be another flop or injury prone

1. I think every of the team in the EPL is having a bad season; and struggling. the only difference is that the struggles are at a different pace. Arsenal started the league poorly and are now onn top. Now Manchester city are struggling for form thanks to Rodri injury. Who is next?

I ask who is next because Manchester united, liverpool and spurs are all struggling at the moment haha

2. Nothing dissappointing about the chelsea game. Thats Chelsea football club for you "inconsistent". They were bossed by mctominay and amrabat in midfield llol. That aside, in a big rivalrly game, form never matters
No doubt this season is just too hot and the weak cannot compete, Liverpool doing their best, Villa with an amazing performance yesterday and that's not just the end, Arsenal vs villa match will be hot and a must watch match, the thing with villa it's very hard to win Villa at Villa Park. Liverpool vs Crystal Palace might be tough under probability.
I knew Chelsea cannot beat Manchester united and that's just the truth, Chelsea could not even pressure and Manchester united missed many chances to score enough goals including the penal.

Betrayal has been for long the fact is you've not experience it before, I don't really know what's wrong that's just the nature of humans, I will always say be careful with the kind of friends you keep but let's be sincere with ourself by asking if you're a good friend let's not just start pointing fingers, concerning the money aspect have heard about this word money doesn't buy happiness, I don't really believe if money buys happiness or not but average of people in this world money can solve their problem so all what they need is just money while some has tasted money countless times that's why they'll always say money doesn't buy happiness.
In this situation it depends on your country system and economy status or I  think the problem is coming from your mindset.
815  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: investing a money on: December 07, 2023, 08:07:17 AM
Let's assume we have a) $5000 b) $10000 c) $15000 to invest, what do you suggest?
If I have such amounts of money to invest in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, I will split the investment so that I can make profit from the both sides. If it is the $15,000, I will invest in bitcoin with $10,000 while the remaining $5,000 will be used for any of the altcoins which I know that will appreciate well in the future. But before then I have to plan very well because I can't just dash into bitcoin and altcoin investment. And another thing you have to consider is your house bills. If there is any, you have to settle first.
816  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which good altcoins can I hold along with Bitcoin for the upcoming halving? on: December 07, 2023, 07:50:00 AM
The altcoins are too numerous that we don't know which of them to even used, and recommend. But if I will recommend or use I will recommend Ethereum to you because it is 2nd cryptocurrency to bitcoin which has a good store of value. Then the other one I will also recommend that has good future is Eloncoin. Eloncoin will also has good store of value in the cryptocurrency market though there are others which you can check out to invest and such coins are, BNB, DOGECOIN, LITECOIN, PEPE and etc.
817  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum SCAM? on: December 07, 2023, 07:43:28 AM
The Op did understand the concept behind the development of the coin. As a developer you have the right to acquire any unit of the coin and that does not mean it is a scam. Even Satoshi taken 21 millions of bitcoins as a developer, Ethereum is the second highest cryptocurrency in the world and no any other altcoins is closed to it in term of the market cap and it price and value. And since when I heard of the coin, I have not heard that people were scam by Ethereum. Therefore, If anyone is investing in it, that person is in save hand.
818  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BTC is effecting Market? on: December 07, 2023, 07:33:45 AM
This thread would have been in the Bitcoin Discussion Board. Op you can still take it to that place, if you can do that, though I am not also perfect in it. As it was said by others other coins follow the trend of bitcoin whenever it rise up. And because of the value it has, people like to invest it and bitcoin has made some young people to become millionaires. Even as bitcoin is rising up, some of the altcoins are still stable and they are not moving up. So people are not ready to invest in them.
819  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Central Bank of Nigeria Cutting Ties with Crypto instead of Regulating on: December 07, 2023, 06:25:22 AM
I came across this discussion online and I decided to bring it here, in the discussion Adedeji Owonbi a crypto masterclass, Adedeji was making a speech and he said central bank of Nigeria should have created a friendly relationship and regulation strategy of blockchain in 2021 instead of cutting ties between cryptocurrency exchange firms and local bank.
In the discussion he also stated that Nigeria is considered to be 90% with crypto awareness in the world, Nigeria would have gone beyound the 90% from my observation most Nigerians would have loved to own bitcoin and other crypto cause it's a modern technology and a decentralize currency.

Unemployment and inflation: I will consider inflation and unemployment as one of the factor decreasing the adoption of bitcoin in Nigeria, anyone who's not working cannot just own a bitcoin, what am trying to say is most people in Nigeria have heard about bitcoin and would love to invest but due to the inflation in Nigeria can stop their interest to hold bitcoin.

The fact that creating an ANGENCY in Nigeria to regulate the use of crypto and protect investors remains valid.
In my opinion acceptance of decentralize currency can help the growth of financial market in Nigeria. We live in a digital era and technology is taking over the world and financial aspect.
With the amazing features of decentralize currency it can promote financial market in Nigeria
  • secured and safe transactions
  • with the decentralized nature of bitcoin, it allows individuals to control their funds
  • financial independence
  • transaction fee is minimal in both international and national if the ordinals are removed.
820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 06, 2023, 10:39:18 PM
Well, finally Manchester United scored the second goal and won the match, McTominay deserves to be man of the match today after scoring 2 goals. On Chelsea side, this defeat will confirm Chelsea status as an unstable team where in each of the last 5 matches they will experience a win, draw and loss but yeah overall it's not bad because the one who beat them was another strong team starting with Newcastle and Manchester United today.

In another match, Aston Villa actually beat Manchester City even though previously we hoped that the two teams would play a draw and Liverpool and Arsenal clearly took advantage of Manchester City defeat they continued to leave Man City behind, Aston Villa unexpectedly managed to take 3rd place even though we know it's only temporary.
McTominay with an excellent goal he  managed to save his team from a draw, Manchester united as an unstable team this season including Chelsea, today's win doesn't guarantee a come back so we should not hope let's just be happy for Manchester united, the shame is just too much so they have proven themselves once again, Manchester united had many chance to score goal but I don't know what really happened.

What's really wrong with the city boys I don't seem to understand the issue with them, I thought city will definitely come with full force but no I predicted wrongly and am disappointed, let's no judge yet Aston might maintain the position for long.
