Sim swapping is more easier for them, because, remember, if we lost SIM card or it get damaged we can easily retrieve by their help, they will redirect your number into another new SIM card, and you are back online, This makes telecommunications dangerous when it comes to crypto.
Sim swap has a different procedure, which includes requesting the sim user’s personal information, including their NIN number and some personal information. I don’t think there will be a problem if you redirect your personal information to another sim in the name of Sim Swap.

Quote
Let's stop deceiving ourselves, there is no solution to this attack than
1. Separate your crypto away from your SIM card number.
2. Stop using your phone number to get verification codes for crypto exchanges and other crypto-related platforms.
3. Stop storing crypto on exchanges, e.g coinbase, crypto.com and Binance exchange.
These recommendations are excellent and will provide us with the utmost level of protection we require, as holding bitcoin in exchanges is not recommended because only exchanges will request such personal information.

Electrum and other open-source wallets do not require phone numbers in order to access or keep your bitcoin.

We have long list of seasoned teams which can go through into next round because these are giants in UEFA and their available sources and quality is also at the top which give them good edge for having better chances for going into next round with I have my personal list which teams are going to be had highly chances for the next round are here Barcelona, Porto, Manchester City, RB Leipzig, PSG, AC Milan, Atlético Madrid, Benfica, Inter Milan, PSV, Arsenal and Bayern Munich I am quite sure these will be in with no upsets are going to happen to them but few other teams which are good but with their current form we can expect anything from them.
Most of these teams you mentioned are capable of qualifying to the next round after group stage, but don’t you think PSG and AC Milan needs considerations?
This is due to the teams that made up the group. I realize that these two teams are the most experienced teams in the group, but Dortmund is also among the teams with Champions League experience, and they can qualify alongside Newcastle United even though they don't have any. Their current team can still make an impact in the group.

Well, this is the champions league and there are no guarantees; there will be upsets and lots of it too! just like Barcelona dropping to europa league last season. In addition; the Arsenal group is also difficult, very difficult as all four teams are underdogs in the group. The Manchester United group with Bayern is also a top tier group; no guarantees at all, all clubs have to earn their rights to the next stages.
Despite the upsets, there are teams that have high chance of qualifying in their group because they are good and can beat all the other teams in the group.
Teams like Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Napoli and lots more have the high chance of qualifying to the round of 16 in the Champions League.

Genoa CFC - SSC Napoli 2023-09-16 20:45
I think SSC Napoli win the game because Genoa CFC fails to make scoring opportunities and Garcia is making a difference in our teams performance and their drive to victory: Victor seems in very good shape.

My opinion: Napoli is angry for lost game with Lazio and want to win for stay near the top

Due to their strong start to the season, Napoli was predicted to defeat Lazio in their last match. However, Lazio surprised everyone by playing well and was fortunate to earn their first three points of the campaign against Napoli after losing their first two games against Lecce and Genoa. The defending champion Napoli suffered a shocking loss, but I am now confident that they will take advantage of any further opportunities to defeat Genoa because, according to statistics, they have won four of the previous five meetings between the two teams.

Today I know better that the perception is wrong, because people can actually loose their hard earned money in bitcoin, leaving them worse off than when they started it. The volatile nature of bitcoin makes it to be quite unpredictable, people who want to trade bitcoin must diligently study about it, know the technicalities and terminologies of it, before venturing into it. Even at that you can not accurately predict  the outcome whether the price will pump or dump.

The only people that lose money investing in bitcoin are those who believe in generating quick money. You cannot lose money in bitcoin if you have the patience to keep onto your bitcoins in whatever market condition since, even after a long period of time, 1 BTC remains 1 BTC. However, some individuals do think they can profit quickly from Bitcoin trading and end up plunging in without sufficient understanding. These people do experience financial losses and ultimately accuse Bitcoin of doing so.


Quote
Unlike fiat which the amount in your bank account remains what it is, bitcoin in your wallet will constantly fluctuate, meaning that there is chances that you can gain or lose your bitcoin. This confirms that the chances of getting rich can also make you poor.
The value of bitcoin fluctuates and not the amount of bitcoin you hold, the fluctuations happen due to market conditions but it will never affect the quality or amount of BTC you hold.

On the other hand, Fiat do lose value due to inflation, you can still have the same amount you keep in the bank but will lack value due to inflation, but Bitcoin will gain value.
827  Economy / Economics / Re: To afford personal education or a property? Where to allocate funds? on: September 06, 2023, 07:44:13 AM
What is the best investment, in your opinion? To use this money to pay for your education, so you can conclude a superior course and achieve a higher degree, having access to a wide jobs' market, or to use that money to acquire an apartment, house or piece of land, so you can make a passive income from this?

This opinion will depend on where you are leaving, what the possibilities and values of educational people or educational qualifications are, and how easy or how guaranteed it is to get work after obtaining a higher degree.

Some countries have a high rate of unemployed graduates, and new graduates are emerging annually. If I stay in such countries, I will prefer getting an apartment or business that will sustain me, bring food to my table, and make me an independent person rather than waiting for governments that are not ready to give me work with my degree.

Quote
It brings the following question up: what is more valued in life: to be or to have? Does it make someone fulfilled to have while not being or being without having anything?

These sentences can be interpreted in different ways, but compared to the above topic, having an apartment or a working business is better than being a degree holder.

You know, platforms like XGo have this multi-currency wallet thing going on. It lets you easily buy or sell crypto for regular money. The best part? It's super safe, and you can use just one XGoID for all your transactions. Talk about convenience!
How secure is the XGo platform that you're promoting? And how much did you get paid to promote them here in order to recruit victims who they will almost certainly scam?

What was XGo's reputation in the crypto sector that prompted you to endorse them? I see you started a discussion about them in this forum. Please, while I understand you are free to promote whatever you want, make sure you do not promote any platform that would defraud people.
831  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin, the only thing that stands on its lane. on: September 05, 2023, 10:01:04 AM

Bitcoin protects it's investors, there is never a hack on bitcoin blockchain, but because many projects are ready to deceive the masses in the name of DeFI and Decentralization that's why some people believe them.

We all want decentralization on crypto space to be more than just Bitcoin only, but the truth is I believe there won't be another.

Some people lack adequate perspectives regarding the distinction between decentralization and centralization, which leads them to believe other projects that claim to be decentralized. How can a new project produced by a multi-person team be decentralized? It is not possible since we have a conflict of interest that could lead to problems within the team.

What exactly is the distinction between exchanges that require KYC and those that enable trading without it?
Do they become decentralized just by not requiring KYC?
Is it wise to invest our money in them?
832  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is Bitcoin really risky as they say? on: September 04, 2023, 10:56:48 AM

Bitcoin is only risky when your patience is low, your mentality is bad, you think new If you don't try to do something, if you listen to bad people, if you don't go to war, if you express your opinion about war, etc., then you have to obey.
Bitcoin is less risky compared to other coins out there on crypto exchanges, but it is also very risky if you approach bitcoin investment without gaining knowledge about it before you start.

Most of the risk associated with bitcoin is related to a lack of knowledge, which results in the risks involved, which involve losing everything with a single mistake due to a lack of knowledge or understanding on how to handle your bitcoin in your wallet or the risk of leaving your bitcoin in centralized exchanges to control it for you, which you can lose if the exchange gets hacked.
833  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Scammers won't mind kicking those who are already down on: September 04, 2023, 10:43:20 AM
But this is me, if this landed on the old victim's email addresses they may fall victim all over again, Let this be a warning for those who are not aware of such scamming tricks, always abstain from clicking links through email, always check senders address when you get emails from crypto exchanges.

Stay Safe out there!

Victims of the FTX exchange scam have learnt a lot in the crypto sector; they have realized how risky it is to rely on centralized exchanges, and I have confidence they will not fall victim to this type of spam again. Although some of them may believe that now is the moment to retrieve their assets back, they may fall victim to this phishing mail campaign and lose money again.

The lesson here is that I should always avoid phishing messages via email and phishing URLs because this is a classic example of phishing because you have never utilized FTX Exchange before and are receiving the letter.

835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 03, 2023, 03:07:24 PM
Liverpool have scored 3 goals against Aston Villa and we can already say that this will be Liverpool's victory at Anfield. It will certainly be very difficult for Aston Villa to overcome the 3 goal deficit, especially since it is impossible to equalize it. But I think Aston Villa still have a chance to shorten the defeat. It seems that Unai Emery's troops are not performing well in this away match and their consistency seems to have stopped at Anfield. There are around 10 minutes of normal time remaining in the match and of course congratulations on Liverpool's victory today.
Liverpool is one of the best teams with very high consistency at home. Anfield's atmosphere has always been a motivation for the Reds, and today they won their third game of the season and moved up to the third position in the Premier League behind Manchester City and Tottenham.

Liverpool will try very well this season; they can challenge for the Premier League title together with Arsenal and Manchester United.
836  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Honestly, Bitcoin fits in this gap more than others. on: September 03, 2023, 12:37:46 PM
So with Bitcoin it's impossible to combat against money laundering? Cash is not traceable but Bitcoin is traceable.

It's decentralized and open source, there is no way anyone can move funds with Bitcoin without been visible on the Blockchain, is that not why the government are going after Mixer services and other? I believe these people understands better.

The problem is not been in control, the problem is unable to print more Bitcoin for themselves like how they do with money.

That's the definition of their own control.
The governments are not buying the idea of bitcoin being limited in circulation, decentralized, and transparent due to the fact that they cannot secretly steal funds that other people will not see unless they use mixers that they are kicking against, claiming they encourage money laundering. Moreover, their inability to control bitcoin transactions and know the original owner of each wallet is a problem for them, which is why they will keep on using their fiat monetary system.

I have came across some questions today while I’m reading some areas of bitcoin, these are the list of my questions.

1. What is the procedure for purchasing and selling Bitcoin, and are there any crucial elements to take into account before beginning?

2. I'd appreciate an explanation of how Bitcoin mining functions and how it maintains the security and reliability of the Bitcoin network.

3. Why is using Bitcoin better than using conventional currencies?

Many thanks to all of you for your explanation.
All of the things you stated will be easier for you if you understand bitcoin and how it operates.

I, too, have limited knowledge, but I am certain that you can purchase Bitcoin using centralized exchanges, which are most frequent for novices due to our lack of knowledge, but you can also purchase via peer-to-peer in some Exchanges that are not kyc.

To learn more about the other aspects you stated, visit Learnmeabitcoin.com, which will assist and explain the entire procedure to you.

Lazio Just won at Napoli home for 2-1 plus 2 disallowed goals for offside.
Dominated game and first 3 points with the previous winner of the serie A.
Honestly, I never expected Napoli to be defeated at home. And I never imagine Lazio will defeat them. If we consider the first 2 matches of Serie A, Napoli looks very superior, they won all the matches and scored more than 2 goals in each match. While Lazio never won 2 first matches although they played against weak teams. It is more interesting that Lazio only could score 1 goal from 2 first matches. So, no one expects Lazio to win in this match, especially the match is held in Napoli home.
Due to a shocking loss to Lazio in the third week of the Seria A competition, Napoli will continue to be a hot subject today.
Lazio overcame the defending champions Napoli at home today after losing their first two games to underachieving opponents.

Napoli has always defeated Lazio, although they lost their final game of the previous campaign. This time, they suffered a second loss to Lazio. It was a difficult game, but Napoli exceeded my expectations given how well they had started the season. There is still time for them to show their supporters that they can continue their impressive form from the previous campaign.
840  Economy / Economics / Re: The Devaluation of fiat money is powered by Inflation on: September 02, 2023, 08:39:02 PM
Devaluation of fiat currency is not only caused by inflation, there are many more factors that must be considered which have contributed in many ways to how we are being affected by inflation in holding a fiat currency in an economy, have we considered some of the policies that surround the monetary system in fiat, how the government officials control the process, how it's been manipulated or maybe we ever think of the kaw behind the repeatition in continuous printing of fiat currency without limit, i see this as a broad discussion with how to tackle the overall causes of fiat devaluation over time while inflation is just the most emphatic cause we all mentioned often leaving others causes or factors behind.
I agree that government policies have an impact on the value of our fiat currencies, however inflation is one of the primary causes of fiat currency depreciation around the world. When fiat loses value, the country's economy suffers as a result of higher prices for products and services, and people who save fiat will no longer value what they saved.

I no longer trust keeping fiat cash because my country's currency consistently loses value to the dollar, and the little money you have on hand can no longer satisfy your wants as a result of the high cost of things. With my savings, I intend to purchase some BTC.
