personally, I think it's a preferential stuff, you could choose to do a long term investment into bitcoin while you invest a little amount into an altcoin you feel won't give you serious heart break because like you said, because of the surge and tye frequent fluctuation most alcoin are experiencing on a regular bases, i won't be reason to consider a long term investment especially at this time. But it's more of how you are able to do your analysis and the funds you want to invest into the a coin or bitcoin but whichever you want to invest into, using the right strategy, I doubt you will encounter any loss. But if you're considering a long term investment, then bitcoin is definitely the way to go.

thanks for this thread, I have also been wondering how they make there money to paying all this wearing their signature but I guess after the explanation I have seen so far, I now understand how the whole thing work.

So if I'm not wrong, it's basically like you are wearing a customized shirt that bears the logo and name of a particular brand and you are making appearances at different place and when people see you, they see the name of the brand you are putting on and would want to check them out. And the more you make your appearance, the more visible you become and the more visible the brand you are putting on becomes also. If you have lots of merit which goes to show how relevant you are in the society, people will easily want to check what you wear out because people normally believe in individual that are of high reputation in the society and I guess this is tye reason why they pay forum members that have higher merits and most quality post more than those that are just coming up into the forum.

Let me answer your question from a personal perspective.

I live in a community where we have a lot of seafood like fish, oysters, periwinkle, and lots of valuable seafood that are in abundance here. But the issue is that the leaders in my locality don't allow people to harvest the see food for the purpose of selling them and this is because they don't even know the value of those see food. they will even harvest those see food that if you sell it in the urban areas, the price will be enough to feed a whole household for the week and they will just eat it up just a day.

Because I know the value of these product and I know the market I can sell them to make money, I still go out and harvest it and sell it and make a huge money out of it. And here is the striking thing I discovered as I continued harvesting the oyster, I discovered that the more I harvested them, the more they produce fresh and quality oyster while the once left without harvesting becomes old and dies off with time. When some persons in the locality interacted with me and I told them how much I make from the sells of tye oyster, their thought process change and some of them have even joined me.

What I'm trying to say in essence is that, that a country bans the use of a particular thing doesn't make the thing bad or illegal, as long as you know that what you are doing isn't illegal and won't harm anyone in the process, then I don't see anything that is wrong with it.

The issue is that most of the government that band and kicks against Bitcoin adoption are just afraid of accepting a system that they won't be in control of.

I feel that the local board is one important section in the forum that every new person should relate with. For me, when I newly came into tye forum, apart from beginners and help, tye only place I visit very often is the local board because there is this sense of connection you get having the people in your locality be represented in a forum like this, plus considering the fact that most newbie don't really know much as regards bitcoin and some other serious discussion that might be going on in other board like the general discussion, meta and the rest, it makes more sense for a newbie to first identify with there local boards where they can easily follow up and make contribution as regard the didcussion going on in the board.

But as a general role, stick to boards and conversation you can contribute meaningfully to. Choose a niche and make sure you are striving very well in the chosen niche. With time you will be able to contribute reasonable in other serious boards but as a beginner, just stick to what works best for you.

my spirit hasn't accepted the vaccine even from the onset coupled with the fact that they are even making it compulsory for people to take it before you are accepted into a major organization.

I mean, if they made it necessary at the point when COVID was popular and was considered a serious problem, it wouldn't be of serious concern to me but when it comes to forcing people to take a vaccine that you don't even here any rumor of people getting infected, it makes me believe that they have something fishy about the vaccine that they are not telling us.

human has the nature of adapting into whatever circumstances life throws at them and will always find a way of copping in the midst of whatever limitation it faces.

The internet is not the reason why we have consistent cases of wars happening here and there. If my assumption isn't wrong, there might be a greater number of wars in the past compared to this present age but the difference is that because of the role of the internet in passing out information easily across the globe, people now easily gets to know the different crisis disturbing the land. The past year's of living without the internet has gone and the world have moved on a great deal to enjoying the numerous advantage of this age and so I doubt that it is necessary to want to go back to those age where we didn't have the internet connection and I don't think a restart is necessary at all, what the world needs now is a means to reducing it current limitations and also finding a way of making things easier for the masses.

There is no guarantee that if we restart this whole change the world has experience we would be better off than what we are now.

I guess this is the first time I am hearing about groundnut oil business being something that could be done by the average person. I know red oil and kernel oil business is one of the most popular cooking oil businesses but I use to think that to go into the ground oil business you need to be registered with the government or something because most of the groundnut oil I do see around are mostly packaged in such a way that they appear mostly very sophisticated but I guess I need to do a bit of my personal research to know how easy it is to locally go into the groundnut oil business.

What you should understand is that there are lots of investment opportunity that are present both online and in our physical environment and the one we choose to venture into mostly depend on the one we are knowledgeable about and also comfortable with. Of course you can't invest with just idea and so you will need  some funds to even think on making successful investment.

Generally, no matter how brilliant your idea is, your fund remains the major fuel that will determine if you will bring the idea to realty or not. There are lots of people that have brilliant business ideas that never came to light because they don't have the needed funds to executing it.

For me I think the major thing you need to successfully make a profitable investment or venture into a successful business is first the knowledge of the business, then the right connection/ community, then the resource, either financial or gadget, and of course you need to be determined and out in thee effort to ensuring that you follow up on the investment opportunity to tye latter.

Combining social media and this forum as a beginner go slow you down on a very serious note and na big distraction when you go try avoid if you get the intention of growing for the forum. I been like Facebook wetin no nice but as e be say I don see platform when indie channel all the energy I de use go argue for comment section into, I just de gradually withdraw myself from social media.

Normally, apart the forum most of us already get one or two things going on in our private life when de eat up our time and attention and adding social media to it will make us very unproductive most especially considering the fact that we are not old in the forum.

No be small thing when baba God don do for us o! For me, the year started very rough and e come be like say na one of those years when I go suffer wetin no nice but at the end of the day, it is becoming one of my best year ever. Inside this year I don discover so many good qualities about my life when I never been de see. I don start to de very dependent on myself for my needs, I don achieve one or two things when baba God don give me and even as de year de draw to a close, instill de see cross J hand until my matter and I de very grateful for hwfa he has led me thus far. I have learnt some of my life lesson also and moving into the new year, I believe say everything go sure wella by Gods grace and I'm just very grateful for life and the privilege to have come this far.

Na this year too I take join the forum and I sure get plenty reasons to be grateful for it.

no be for only this forum when Nigeria's de restricted from registering without the use of VPN oh. There are lots of platform I still know about that won't even allow you to register as long as your I'm de show Nija. A very good example na max bounty. If you de into the cpa marketing community you go know say max bounty na legit and sharp platform when get excess joy for people when sabi way around am but tye issue when de child their na on how you want to register am make them even accept your account. I doubt say con de work that much when it comes to that one because the company de very strict and there sight de very strong as dem no wan carry eye jarm any person when from those country when d blacklist.

But I feel say we know where all this matter de come from, na based on the bad reputation when we get in terms of being corrupt na him de course all this things and e come be like say any nija person when wan join some of this platform de carry evil intention for mind just to scam people.

Congratulations to them. opay has proven itself to be very reliable in it service and it's very rear before you will have a transaction with opay and experience any failure of any sort.

Having a physical presence will go a long way in boasting the trust people have for it and will also increase it efficiency to a very large extent.
From my observation , of all tye micro finance banks, it'ss been between opay, palmpay and monie point. The ease with which they render service to her customers is topnotch and close to none.

I  know say lately, if people wan talk about nija matter eh, e de always be the negative side when we de easily talk about. Even for this forum, if you check well you go notice say almost 70% of the threads we de get for the board when relate with our country, e de mostly be regarding things when we no de do well and most times, e de blind us to the so many areas when we de do well for both the local and global stage.

I know say na as a result of wetin most Nigerian de go through na him de make us para whenever we are giving the platform to air our view about the country but make we no forget say Nigerian de do extremely well in so many areas like;
1. We de do very well for the Technology space
2. We de get one of the best brains for most professional areas outside we country like medicine and engineering
3. Our entertainment industry na one of the best for the world. Nollywood and our music industry de deliver us wetin no nice
4. Even for this forum, nija follow for one of the most active boards when de get quality conversation going on.
5. Religion nko? You self you know the matter na.
6. Our culture go well wetin no nice and if no be say we done de trowe some of them eh, Nija get amazing cultural lifestyle on a normal.

So many areas de when we de do very well and I just want talk say make we try de talk good about our country sometimes. If others reject and speak evil of our mother land, we go follow then deny nija?

Make we try de show the world say we be nija and say we no de ever carry last.

the article has giving a detailed insight to this matter but from the two options you provided, they are all good but I consider them too complex and for me, what I do is that I wrote down the seed phrase, copied it into three papers and kept each of the piece in my safety box at three different location I visited regularly that way, whener I need it I I'm only close to it and can easily access it. Let me add that the first time I wrote out my passphrase, I kept it carelessly at home because I felt no was knew about it importance but after I almost lost it, I learnt my lesson.

you done make me go check my balance wetin no nice. Well, I never see any alert and I done even try to check on face book if I go see person when done drop similar claim but I never see am.

Let's assume that this is true, My few questions regarding this are,
1.  What criteria was used to selecting the household that the said 25k would be given to and when was the selection done?
2. If a government is giving it citizen a renewed hope, is it through a policy like this or won't it be better you use this money to train people to becoming skilled at something so they can be of help to themselves. Mind you, that 25k isn't even enough to take care of an adult for two weeks in this current economy.
3. Where is my own share of the money?   thus is the most important question they have to answer because that 25k go really help my life this morning.

First of, your writeup is as confusing as hell and it's not easy to understand the message you are trying to pass across to be honest but regarding the question on knowing the amount of bitcoin we've accumulated, Should the amount of bitcoin you've been able to accumulate become your major concern? The amount of bitcoin you have at your disposal is dependent on a whole lot of things and ranging from the time you knew about Bitcoin to the way you used in accumilating your bitcoin and of course, how much you have that you can use in investing into bitcoin that wouldn't give you a restless mind. So what ever quantity of bitcoin you are able to accumulate based on this parameters, you should be okay with it and look out for the most convenient and efficient way you can use in increasing the amount of Bitcoin you're accumilating.

the truth is that nobody just want to take lian from lisn apps like that, it's a product of some kind of financial frustration that leads people to consider taking loans from the loan app. I have hard instances when you don't even what to know if the interest is double of what you are taking. You have a deadline to meet up and you don't have anyone one to call that can help you at that money, what should you do in that situation? Even though you don't have a means of paying the money back, the only thing you want at the instance is to get the money  , fix your problem and later you think on how to pay it back. Dime persons after they owners of the main app might have disturbed them to a point that messages start going to their contact, that's when they will have to borrow from other people just to clear out the debt.

the truth is that most of the persons that said they sold out their property to buy bitcoin are not being truthful to themselves.if they will be honest with themselves, It's very difficult to sell out your asset most especially the ones like land that its value appreciate and you use it to buy another asset hoping for it value to appreciate.  If you tell me that you used a whopping sum of money to accumulate Bitcoin, I could easily believe you but for you to sell your asset, that's possible but I doubt many persons can do that. 20 out of a 100 person who are making this claims will not even agree to doing this.

because i have been in this whole process where I can't really talk to my dad regarding most things but would easily share them with my mum, I think I can really air out my opinion on this.

The main reason why young people confide more in their mom is as as a result of the fact that most fathers don't give their children the needed attention that is expected of them and even from a tender age the children have always known there mother as the closest person to run to in times of need. And let me also say this that if most mothers are financially stable, you might find out that most persons will never go to there father for anything at all.

It's sad that most persons have not experienced what a fatherly love should be and that most fathers don't even know that the are lagging behind a great deal in carrying out their responsibility to their children. most of them are seriously aggressive towards their children and the only thing most persons can think as what there fathers did for them while they were young is that he disciplined them and I feel that this is a great abnormality that has eaten deep into the fabrics of our society.

The moment you miss out on a global change regarding a particular sector, you have successfully put yourself at a disadvantage in the future. Technological advancement is happening at an increasing pace and if you don't follow up with the latest change in the way things are being done, you end up becoming very much irrelevant, and your service might not have much value in the current time.

The way of doing businesses has changed to a very large extent and those that haven't embraced this change will testify to the difficulty they experience when the try to come to term with the latest happening in technology and the various changes that has made digital marketing a must for most businesses.
