881  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to join best bounty and earn money? on: September 05, 2023, 10:15:52 AM
I don't understand there are so many bounty in bounty section. Because a YouTuber made video and I saw.

True be told, there are many bounties because most of them are worthless. Some starts up great but along the line the project turns to something else and there isn't much you can do as a manager in those cases which is why many manager are shifting attention to the signature aspect of the forum. Also you should consider the market condition as we're in the hard times of the market (the bear market) and investors aren't picking interest in investing in the market which means there's more money leaving the market from investors selling their coins than money coming into the market as a result of buying which is why altcoins especially the newly launched ones won't be getting much investment and that'll lead to the project not raising enough money from their crowdfunding and the project failing.

He says make account and than earn money with bounty and I don't have knowledge?

The money in bounties aren't as much as it was in 2017 because 1, we have more bounty hunters which reduces your chances of receiving higher payment and many of them are using multiple accounts to cheat the system. 2, There are better ways projects are now using to advertise their projects to their target audience and most of them are more impactful then bounty as launching a bounty doesn't guarantee you inventors but it would make your social media platforms active. Don't put all your mind into bounties, you can join them as what you do for your free time but focus your attention on things that can give you consistent income if you're looking to make money from the cryptocurency industry. If you have a skill, you can use them in the space and get paid in Bitcoin or other tradable cryptocurency.

Although I would like to see more merit sources but what I have noticed is that Nigerians are ranking up, it is true that it is difficult for those who only post in the local board but it is possible.

They're ranking up because of their activeness in the general board, Nigerians are one of the most active/quality members on the forum and that's reflecting on the rate at which they're ranking up. Many of them have left the local because there's no much merit there. And those who spend most of their time on the board don't get merited as much  as they'll do on the main board because 1, I'm the only merit source and 2, low source merit. I saw you have 1k+ monthly and I barely have over 120+ meanwhile we have over 1k posts monthly on the board and that means only 100+ (quality posts) of those can be merited (that's if I send only 1 merit each for each quality posts that I come across).

I have message theymos severally and when he was giving us the local baord I talked with him about the merit condition because that has been my allocation before the local board was created but his reply was that the forum isn't looking to add more merit to circulation and that's just frustrating to the local board but what can we do, most times I even keep my smerits earned from merit received for the baord just to keep the energy high on the board.

5-1 win by Al-Nassr against Al-Hazm and in another match it was the same 5-1 win by Al-Fateh against Al-Ahli Saudi. In the match between Al -Ahli Saudi the dominance was from Al-Ahli Saudi, but they weren't able to convert the chances to goals. Over time scenario could change, for now the competence is heavy and slowly Al-Ahli Saudi and Al-Nassr have moved to the top list on the points table. In the previous season Al-Ahli Saudi finished at the 15th position on the points table. Right now just 5 matches played and it have reached 4th place. Lets see what happens when more matches were played.

We can't just use the beginning of the season to judge how the season will end, all this clubs showing strength now might lose it except for those we can consider them to be the top clubs of Saudi Arabia which are the Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al-Ittihad but for the rest soon they'll fall down to their rightful positions. It's just like in the premier league that when the seasons starts, some unfamiliar faces which are the small clubs will be in the top position but as the season progress they'll fall to their rightful positions and the table will begin to get shape as it was meant to be. The season I think the winner will be between those three clubs that I listed above.

Three matches in a row Al-Nassr always won big by scoring more than 3 goals and this was in stark contrast to the two matches at the start of the season where they were only able to score 1 goal. Could it be that now the depth of the squad owned by Al-Nassr has begun to be evenly distributed and in fact they only conceded 1 goal in three matches.

What's contributing to this high numbers of goals by the Al Nassr side is because they have many goal scorers on their squad and not just Ronaldo. When the team is playing well, atleast 3 players will get on the score board like Ronaldo, Sadio mane and  one other player also sometimes they both get more than one goals. Al Nassr is playing good football so they'll be scoring often and the more they score they more they get hungry to score more. Ronaldo has options to score more than one goal in the last game just as he has the chance to score a hat trick in the last two games but gave it up, he also decided to proven an assist which goes to show he's playing for the team and not just himself.

Before listing a users application, make sure you take a look at it because Upgrade application has nothing to do with the Nigeria local board (and although he's a Nigerian I can't remember the last time he was active on that board) no offense dear. If theymos is looking to add more source atleast they should be those that are very active on the board and the two users above have our support and if Upgrade changes his mind and begin to be active on the local board he'll get my support but for now I think his application is for the general board (which I support for that aspect).

Ps: While on this matter I also need an increase theymos (my allocation is too poor).
885  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 03, 2023, 03:10:12 PM
Personally I don't expect a instant turn around of Chelsea by Pochettino unfortunately many of their fans wanted an immediate impact and positive result having considered £450m spent on signing new players this season, I think Pochettino should be given enough time to rebuild the team of course they have some prospects and promising talented young players in their squad,

We didn't expect the impact to be immediately but atleast he should show the fans what he's trying to do instead of acting clueless, why make same mistakes multiple times and think he'll get a different results. We have wingers that we bought with money, why don't he play them instead of playing a wingback as a winger, chilwell mentality is about defending and not attacking and that's why he isn't doing anything with the ball when he attacks, I thought we just bought Cole Palmer from Manchester city, why wasn't he played on the wing instead of playing chilwell. We also have Mudrky that you can start so he begin to gain confidence, you can't be starting a player or substituting him into the game on time yet expect him to deliver whenever you need his service. Pochettino has all the time in the world but he need to start giving us a reason to trust him to make the right decisions.

I keep telling people the same thing; Chelsea overspent. When you buy a 30 million player for 60 million dollars then you are going to look like you spent a lot but you will not get that much return. For example Caicedo was worth 55 million euros by March or so last year, and now looks 75 million euro obviously because of the transfer, and they spent over 115 million euros for him. This is a dude that was 55 million euro just a few months ago, and they overspent 60 million on him. Their whole transfer window is filled with things like this, and because of that they got players that is way less valued than what they spent.

Liverpool are the reason why we bought Caicedo that costly and when players are overbought, they're under too much pressure to perform and that always affect the player. Chelsea was trying not to overpay for the player but Liverpool came in to attempt to hijack the deal and since the player rejected Liverpool, it only make sense we match the bill and sign him that costly. Chelsea has spent so much in this transfer window so Pochettino needs to get his shit together and start delivering results that'll be worth the money we have spent in the transfer window. It isn't like we don't have players because we do have players but the coach isn't utilizing them very well. If this continues then I think we have to start calling for the sack of Pochettino and get a better manager before it gets late and we'll be left with him for the rest of the season.
886  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 03, 2023, 02:50:36 PM
Nottingham Forest made good use of the transfer window, after making many signings last season they still struggled to stay relevant in the league. They have made quite a number of signings this summer, some of the names registered to the club include Nuno Tavares, Divock Origi, Nicolas Dominguez and Callum Hudson Odoi, etc. this signings should improve Nottingham Forest in the long run and also keep them in the premier league at the end of the season.

Nottingham forest signings last season is the reason they were able to remain in the premier league if not they would had been relegated. It's a good thing that they have gone on to signed a couple more players to strengthen their squad and also secured the signature of Callum Hudson Odoi on deadline day, he's a good acquisition because I still don't understand why Chelsea wasn't utilizing him very well. I prefer him to some of the defensive players we have been buying for high fee like Fofana. Callum Hudson Odoi os going to do very well at Nottingham forest and if they continue playing as they did yesterday against Chelsea, they'll have more season to play at the premier league because they deserved the victory they got against Chelsea.

Chelsea is showing its awful performance today. Chelsea is showing an awful performance today by attacking blindly without knowing where to move, revealing a lack of ability to build a proper attack. Chelsea should not be losing against nottingham forest if there would be someone who can made proper finishing. Jackson was missing one of golden chance against nottingham. Jackson should have scored it. This club was just showing average performance but it'spretty similar to the performance of last season.

Everything starts from the wrong formation of the coach, how can Chelsea be using a five man defense against a team like Nottingham forest that we were supposed to be attacking. Even though the coach wasn't playing a five man defense but four yet what was chilwell doing on the pitch and playing as a winger, he added nothing to that game and also why is Enzo Fernandez been played out of position. The coach is getting everything wrong, why isn't he using the formation he used during the preseason games. We need to start showing results or we'll end worse than we did last season. Another game week we missed the opportunity to get three points against a side we should be winning without much stress. Chelsea is begining to become a clueless club just wasting money signing players that doesn't suit the club.
887  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: September 03, 2023, 02:36:49 PM
Manchester United who had won the competition European Cup in three different occasions will be playing in the competition once again this season and without taking anything away from the Red Devils, I don't think they're gonna make it to the final of the competition this season.
They are in the in a group A alongside Bayern Munich, Galatasaray and Copenhagen which I think is a fair group for them to progress to the knockout stages from but I'll be very surprised to see them make it to the semi finals of the competition this season.

They mightn't even make it out of the group stage, they're in an easy group but we know Manchester united are used to underperforming and just like last season they won't go far in this competition. Their group is going to be won by Bayern Munich then Manchester united or Galatasaray will advance from the group. Bayern Munich is going to have an easy game in that group as they can beat all three clubs with a less stronger side while Manchester united shouldn't have a problem defeating the other two clubs but I wouldn't be surprised if they miss out of the chance of advancing from the group stage. Since the best they can do is to finish second that means they'll be meeting a stronger team in the round of 16 and that'll be their stop.

Even though Bayern Munich is not as strong as it was two years ago, currently Manchester United is in an unstable squad condition and when compared with Bayern Munich the difference is certainly quite significant. Bayern Munich excelled with a striker who knew Manchester United weaknesses could now be exploited. So Manchester United' meeting against Bayern Munich is very interesting to look forward to. Erik Ten Hag must take precautions from now on because several of the players he has brought in have not been fully strengthened on the field. If Hojlund, Martinez, Varane and Shaw recover, perhaps the Red Devil's performance against Bayern Munich could be more promising.

Even though all the Manchester united squads are fully fit they can't still defeat Bayern Munich, the addition of Harry Kane to their squad had strengthen the team better. Harry Kane would be meant with familiar faces when he plays Manchester united and he'll want to show everyone that he still has it in him to score against a premier league side. Harry Kane will score and Manchester united will experience defeat. Manchester united chances of advancing from the group would be how well they play against the other two opponents. I actually think Bayern Munich has all it takes to get the trophy this year and that would be a dream come true for harry kane because he'll be winning two trophies in his first season out of Tottenham Hotspur (that's if he wins the league title with Bayern Munich and champions league as well).
888  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The awareness of Bitcoin is spreading from the internet to the society. on: September 03, 2023, 12:57:55 PM
This night I came across a comedy on Facebook and this comedy was too funny to my linking but I am not here to talk about the funny side of the comedy but the main reason why I chose to bring it up to bitcointalk.org is because they used Bitcoin as a payment method on the comedy, although it might be just acting to some persons but to me it not because it shows that the awareness of Bitcoin is going viral on social media.

The awareness dey spread normally but the hostile behavior of the Nigerian government towards Bitcoin and the uniform man towards those into cryptocurrency is what's holding us back because all this awareness just dey waste as adoption no dey move forward. What's the point of awareness if we no dey see adoption. Na only for skits wey we dey see people use Bitcoin buy something, we no fit see dem do am physically because as you start na so so fraudulent allegations go dey come ur side. Dem fit say you dey help yahoo boys as picker just as dem dey label crytpo traders as pickers. We need to move from social media to reality or we still dey waste our time. If you look well self those skits wey dey feature bitcoin dey mostly related to yahoo boys cashing out.

On this video I come in conclusion that the awareness of BTC (Bitcoin) is spreading rapidly in the society through the help of the social media and some celebrity investors too, firstly I dropped a thread

Na be lie sha all this skits dem dun help in some way push the awareness of bitcoin to the masses and as more people dey hear about bitcoin from those types of video e dey help many Nigerian youths get something to do for their self but one thing I no like na all those mumu exchange dem wey dis skits makers dey sabi advertise. Some self no get website na Instagram handle you go go trade and this people fit scam you and you no go get any better proof or dem go use poor rate finish you meanwhile when dey buy from you finish dem go go sell higher on Binance or other exchange dem.

I dun dey hear this fake Bitcoin mata for years now but I never fit understand how person go send you fake Bitcoin and e go appear for you wallet then later comot abi una dun forget say some Bitcoin can be spend even though the transaction never confirm finish. The only way I see this happening is when a double spend is been done by the scammer but I no think na wetin happen so unless him send you fake website to use check the confirmation, I no believe say Bitcoin wey enter your own wallet go comot. Fake Bitcoin can't be sent on the main bitcoin network, so must be an alternative network. Make we dey always use the right block scanners to avoid all this yahoo boys tricks dem. No believe any investment platforms wey dey dem try sell you because Investing in Bitcoin can only be done through buying and trading or hodling.

My country people I greet unable oooh, I come across this post, way say Binance go stop Busd trading from 2024, and so Binance have actually started asking there users to stop support Busd and that there services will be phased out until Paxos will complete the acquisition of Busd by February 2024. so I say make I share am here for those way nava they aware and get small Busd for account so them take action immediately.

You do well and this news dun dey for the media for sometime now as e get when the SEC been dey worry Binance based on this their BUSD mata and e belike dem been call am an unregistered security. Binance come say no be dem self dey issue the stablecoin even though e dey bear their name. The mata come out around February this year and maybe this na just steps wey Binance exchange dun dey take to protect their customers and also to comot for the SEC lawsuit wahala because if dem prove say BUSD na security and Binance exchange still dey parole with dem e fit pit dem for big wahala.

The news is not true as i see it, if the people were aware of these, all investors will withdraw their assets from it, secondly, BUSD is a currency that I don't think can easily go down line that, though if something like this should happen, then we should first expect much of this from Binance exchange itself than the coin first, which regulations will keep Binance running but BUSD down, i don't think it will stop or they would have announced it by this earlier.

The mata na true and Binance been dun dey offer the swapping BUSD to other stablecoin service. Also I been dun dey get notifications of BUSD pairs been delisted from Binance exchange since and other services wey person fit do for the exchange with BUSD has been slowly removed. Binance dey take precautions make e no cause price to tank due to panic as any harsh moves wey dem make go fit affect the market and they'll be held responsible. Already Binance dun send notifications say; Binance Encourages Users to Convert BUSD to Other Stablecoins Prior to February 2024 and this one na information directly from the official Binance exchange support page.
891  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How to avoid virtual bank apps hack when phone got stolen or misplaced on: September 03, 2023, 11:53:35 AM
3. Always have less money on this virtual app to protect yourself from this kind of emergency, this can help you in case the banks try to run away because there has been a lack of transparency from them, especially Opay and Kuda.

Very nice, simple and informative thread. I go like response on some of your tips dem. No go dey expect transparency from centralized service providers dem, your local banks no get transparency so wetin come dey give you idea say all this online banks go get. Sha not having large sum of money in those apps na the surest protections wey you fit give yourself. Make your money dey your local banks and you dey transfer am to online banks dem when you wan spend am. To add more security, no dey hold money for banks self, store dem for your crypto wallet and the trade to naira whenever you need funds. Of course emergency funds go dey your account but no dey store much as you dey lose self if you dey hold Naira as dis one wey be say dollars just dey grow anyhow.

2. Make sure to always password your phone, some phones are easily jail break but it is better than not having anything at all, this can give you time to do a welcome back before they get access to the phone.

Password only no go do, if the apps get 2FA protection add am join so people no go fit access even when dey mistakenly guess your password. Also take ur protection a step further and hide ur bank apps for your phone, no make an easy for dis thief dem atleast make dem work for am before dem fit steal anything. If you no get phone wey get double space wey be say you fit move all your important apps dem to the second space den download those apps wey dey help hide apps for fone and hide your banks apps. E no go only save you incase you misplaced your phone but e go help you avoid unwanted extortion from all this uniform man wey dey worry boys everywhere.
892  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Avoid auto save of passwords online on: September 02, 2023, 01:18:52 PM
In the event that your account details are obtained, this can give them access to ordering things on your account, taking out loans, and many other things. Is better avoid been a victim. Please  make all of take caution. And look for proper means of saving our passwords, and does that have fallen victim can give testimony of there experience. Lets not take chances.

For this life you need to give priority to things that matters, there are some things that are not important that you can use the password savers for. Like me I no take any of my social media platforms dem serious so I fit dey use password saver for dem because I no get any sensitive information I dey discuss there but anything wey get to do with my business is left of out of those passwords savers. Na people wey no understand to differentiate between what to secure and what not to secure that has a problem. We get app for transaction so no need to dey link am to those passwords savers and now you dey into crypto, keeping of large sum of money in your bank account no dey advisable. You have P2P platforms to run your transaction ASAP so keep your money for your personal wallets them and sell to naira anytime you need cash.

Many platforms such as exchanges makes 2FA compulsory. How then do you navigate through it? Secondly, I have used Google 2FA for a long time now and even without Internet in my phone so I don't really understand the part you said its connected to the Internet or am I not reading your comment correctly?

Google Authenticator started as an application that has no connection to the internet or been linked to a centralized storing cloud but anything wey google get dem sabi link am to their cloud, dem too like to dey monitor everything wey dem get and now dem dun bring out an option wey go make you fit link your 2FA application Incase you lose your phone you fit recover am through linking your 2FA to a Google account. If you get the 2FA app and you look up to their topmost right, you go see symbol of cloud. If you click am you go see if your ap dey linked or not. For now dem never make am compulsive say make everyone link so if yours isn't link you dey okay and no link am or e no go dey safe again.

My G. This matter wey you bring here na very long matter o. Government naim be our challenge oh[/b], according to my analysis Nigerians dey hardworking, talented and educated. Nigeria matter just be like family were eldest son get driving job and instead of him to give his younger brother wey Sabi drive him go force himself to do the driving job were ass him no get the skill. wetting you think ft happen? If care is not taken him go get accident to distroy the future of his employer.

Make I make you understand say na the bad governments dey make us dey hard working and talented and most of our talents are been learnt and no be say we dey born with am. The learning process fit no dey intentional but na wetin dey happen to us be dat. Look at other parts of the world wey their government get better responsibility, dem no get our level of hustle (wey we dey call hardwok) and dat one na because say the government dun provide everything for dem finish. If Nigeria governments was better we no go dey get the hardworking traits wey we get for the country but dat one no be excuse for the surfer wey dem dey surfer us and they thief our money for their personal needs them.

Many of our young girls are dying by the day all in the name of hookup(olossho promax). Dey don't even care how or whether it will take there life. Yahoo boys has use them for rituals countless times. Wasting there destiny. The solution is to empower the youth in government. So that some parastatas will be changed. If dey don't want the youth at least dey should create employment opportunity and start production instead of consumption.

UK, Canada & United states wey belike heaven to many of us for this side still get high rate of prostitution and our own self dey learn work for where their own dey, scams and all sorts of internet scams dey popular dat side yet dem still get a better economy and are doing well for their own self. Country better, job dey and everything dey go well no mean say boys and girls go stop wetin dem dey do. Even now self we still get people wey dey put head together hustle and we still get those wey dey do this things wey you talk, people go always lazy and dem go dey find the easy way out.

894  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Be Aware of Remitano Change of Address: Don't Send Bitcoins to it Again on: September 02, 2023, 12:08:39 PM
It was about two weeks ago when the exchange informed the users of the platform about the maintenance that was going on which they freeze bitcoin deposit and withdraw. And yesterday they came back to inform the users that they  are back through the channel of email communication. But they warned the users that they should not use the old bitcoin address of the exchange and every user should create new address for deposit.

Finally they have said what's in their mind and what they wanted to do from the very beginning, I have always advice people to stay away from this exchange but yet they're gaining momentums and becoming more popular among the Nigerian community, this isn't the first time they won't be putting their customers needs above theirs. What stops them from following Binance exchange footsteps in allowing users to appeal for their funds to be recovered if they mistakenly sent it to their old address. It's heartbreaking because many Nigerians use them for their (supposedly) peer2peer exchange and many users will be losing funds because of this. We all know they still have access to those coins that'll be sent to the old address but I guess that's a way of compensating their pockets before performing an exit scam.

Those who are using Ramitano for buy and sell, transaction and transfer should be aware of the latest development of the exchange so that you will not be a victim. One of their warning of their returning back from the maintenance process is, once you deposit your bitcoin in the old address, you might not get it back. So be warned.

Those who will be mostly affected aren't on the forum but the millions of Nigerians (and others) using the platform daily for their transactions and not aware of this change because people are uneducated on the matter of not storing exchange address and always going to the exchange to copy the address whenever they want to use it. Many users aren't used to the fact that address can change, they're still with the old mentality that you have only one Bitcoin address because that's how it started for most user that got involved and started from the wrong side (like using centralized exchanges and wallets giving them online one address). Many merchant already have their Bitcoin address sent out and for most of them, it isn't their personal address but that of these exchanges (all in the name to reduced expenses on fees). Remitano should just consider the number of users that'll be affected by this and provided a solution as Binance did. Sending out emails isn't enough although I know they they have done what typically is expected of them to do (send out notifications).
895  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Greater Control and Security Features often Come Greater Responsibilities on: September 02, 2023, 11:27:47 AM
We often emphasize, "Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins." We advise crypto newcomers to "Take your coins off exchanges." We counsel those in the community who care to listen to use a non-custodial wallet. We stress the importance of keeping your recovery phrase safe. Even prominent figures like Fillippone have written extensively on "Securing Your Seed Phrase with Washers." We advocate for having the latest antivirus software and being cautious about clicking on links. Why? Because with greater control and security features come greater responsibilities.

I love the slogan "with greater control comes greater responsibilities" and as we all have decided to be a part of this industry, we owe it to ourselves to make the most out of it and we can't do that without having our asset secured. If we don't take our privacy seriously, we'll lose our assets (coins) to hackers. When it comes to the securing of our seed phrase, I still prefer writing it on a piece of paper and storing that piece of paper in a secured location (like a vault) that isn't accessable to the public. Storing of seed phrase on any device that has connection to the internet or in our emails is the worst mistake ever because that means you're just one mistake away from losing your coins as you can't be too careful not to expose your device to virus/malware that can be used to gained access to your device.

The truth is that it's not easy to be your own bank. I'd even say that many are not ready for it. We've long been used to delegating enormous tasks of securing our finances to the banks. The advent of banks actually made us complacent and comfortable because we trust them. At the same time it also made us uncomfortable when we are in the possession of huge amounts of money because of fear or that we admit that we aren't capable of sufficiently protecting them.

This is the reason why we have lots of users still trusting exchanges and centralized service providers but that shouldn't be the norm because we are moving away from having third parties to run our business to doing it ourselves which is what Bitcoin is all about. We have to learn to be incharge and not give power back to those we're trying to take control from. Been in charge of our finances is empowering and we have to learn to accept that responsibility by been security conscious. Been your own bank isn't that hard but people don't have confidence that they can protect their own wealth and that's why they look for others to take responsibility for them.

Someone struggling to learn the basics of wallets will definitely be swallowed by the encyclopedia of Ratimov. What Op needs to do is to take a step at a time. Also they need to have a track of what they have learn and what they have to learn. Whenever newbies claim they have invested, you do not have any evidence or any reason to prove them wrong. So, we believe they have invested and learnt the basics of investment. So many of the newbies make hasty investment, but it pays to learn before investing to earn.

You can learn first before investing or invest while learning especially if what you're investing in is Bitcoin. Investing in Bitcoin is so simple that you don't need someone's to walk you through everything, all you need is where to get the Bitcoin, where to store them and  if you didn't use the right wallet in the beginning, you can always adjust to a more secured wallets as you gained knowledge on wallets. Nobody actually knew everything about bitcoin before they made their first investment. OP can learn gradually as he has registered on the forum and all the information are present here also when you don't find them through searching, OP you're free to asked questions as you did and good samaritans that are numerous on the forum will always help you out.

I was able to go through few books about bitcoin, articles and links sent here as guide in the forum. One of the best, I have come across is learnmeabitcoin.com. I don’t know if there is any easier one to learn from and understand than this. After all this, I am still yet to understand the concept of open/closed wallet, software/hardware wallet, online/offline wallet. I keep getting them mixed up whenever I try to have a grasp of them.

The meaning are directly in the names, (example, offline means offline and online means active on the internet). Seeing the posts above me have done justice to your questions I won't bother going into much details but just give you the simplest advice. No wallet is safe from hackers as it all depends on how secure you're because using a hardware wallets and still been careless with your private information can put your coins in the wallet at risk and the same goes for every other wallets. As you're a newbie I'll recommend you start with using Electrum Bitcoin Wallet, it ticks every box of been a perfect Bitcoin wallet except the fact that it isn't a hardware wallet but that's find.

This new reality in the country is really putting many businesses to a stand still. Shey nah when person don chop bellefull naim go think of buying better clothes to wear, shoe, visiting places of leisures or even flex join? For those of us that are not into foodstuffs and groceries that are necessities of life that no matter how hard and heightened the economic situations turns out  people go still buy food to stay alive.

No be lie oh, na people wey dey into foodstuffs business dey benefit pass for this economy because man must chop, if man no chop life no continue. Another business wey dey go well dis period na transportation business because no matter how e be man must move form point A to B and people need go work to go hustle so transport business na sure plug for all weather. Personally I no get physical business but I dey see people wey get and the thing no easy again because na so so close down dey happen this days. Money no dey on ground and wetin God do for us wey get sure online plug no be small because I just dey see the way wey people dey struggle to meet work schedule and I dey thank God everyday.

For some of us wey dey into business like sales of products, materials and other services wey no be foodstuffs, how market nah? For my own area in the past months the patronage don really drop oh and I wan know wether na the same thing for unah too.
How the reality of the country the affect the patronage of your business?

Na one Nigeria all of us dey and things no different for any state, na all of us they follow see the shege wey tinubu government dey show us so things no go different for our side. Transportation dun go up, foodstuff dun go up and nothing man fit do but to they avoid some kind useless spending dem wey we been dey do before. Which day wey I enter fast food to go chop small and normally place wey be say they full and you go need wait for your turn dey almost empty because people dun dey cook for house and na so all this market women dem dey sell business because their own business no dey affected.

I don't think that Newcastle will be the points target of the other three teams, even though they haven't felt the atmosphere of the Champions League for a long time, but I'm sure they will still bring their strength like in the EPL. I'm pretty sure other teams will also really count on Newcastle, they won't underestimate the representative from England at all.

For starters, the Newcastle you're seeing now isn't the same as the Newcastle of last season. This season I don't think they can make the top 4 in premier league as they did in the previous years so them progressing from the group stages is also another achievement I don't think they'll be able to achieve. Already their attention is divided with the premier league and the champions league so unless they crash out of the champions league early there's no guarantee they'll do well in the premier league. Lets look at their group, who can they defeat there, no one and those clubs aren't clubs of the premier league that they play often and know their game pattern, they're club outside the premier league and all did very well last champion league season. Experience will be a major factor in this games.

I also expect a better performance from Napoli this season. They managed to keep two of their most important players. With Victor Osimhen and Hvicha Kvaratshelia in the team, their offensive options will always be rich. I think they will beat Braga and Union Berlin with a little bit of comfort, but the games against Real Madrid will give us an idea about their position at the end of the tournament. If they beat Real Madrid and finish first in the group, they will raise expectations. Let's see how they will perform in the Champions League this season.

Napoli were lucky last season, they didn't deserve how far they went to some extent but last season was a good season for the Italians but they might be repeating same successful this season still that doesn't mean they won't be progression from the group stage. They have one of the luckiest draw because they only have to win their two other opponents to progress even if they lost to Real Madrid. Napoli keeping Victor Osimhen and Hvicha Kvaratshelia was surprising as I thought other top clubs would have gotten atleast one of the players. I hope this decision doesn't come back to bite Napoli as it would had been better to cash out huge sum of money on this players after they had a fantastic season last season. There's no guarantee they'll both be phenomenal this season but let's watch and see.

It doesn't matter how active Chelsea are in the transfer market and how much money is spent because it is the result and the performance on the pitch that will be judged. Because if a budget of that size does not show significant results, Chelsea will automatically receive a lot of criticism, including a failed coach.

Been too active at times in the transfer market isn't always good because when you over buy players, instead of you making a squad strong, you weaken it because when there are too many different players in a squad that haven't played together for sometime irrespective of how professional they're, they'll find it difficult to work together because they have different orientation of how to play by the difference coaches that coached them in the past. It'll take sometime for the new coach philosophy to get into the players and by then it might be late to catch up the other teams gathering up points from each game week. Chelsea has spent so much in the transfer window but it's good that the players are playing as a team. They just need finishing because that's where they're slacking.

Quote
Pochettino was challenged to build Chelsea from scratch after several coaches failed. So the question for Pochettino is whether he is able to complete the task or is he not able to do it but is still forced to do it.
I don't like Pochettino's coaching style. He likes buying already-established players. I will not be wrong if I assume that he depends on big names to win trophies. I am more comfortable with coaches that build young players. Coaches that groom unknown players to superstars are the best in the world.

Is there any coach currently coaching a big team especially in the premier league that doesn't buy players in this modern day of football, Pep Guardiola buys players, Klopp buys players, Jose Mourinho bought players when he was coaching in the premier league as well. Everyone buys because if you can't give your employer an instant results, your chances of continuing at the club reduces and at Chelsea, we have a reputation of firing managers very quickly so he can take his chances here. When you think about it, it isn't Pochettino signing players but the owners of the club are the ones interested in signing players. Look at Pochettino time at Tottenham Hotspur, how many players did he sign then look at how many, other managers signed.

Chelsea have been on the verge of breaking down in the last few seasons back and that is big a problem for the club,  and If signing the player could change the faith of the club in this season then it is a welcome development and from Chelsea's recent performance it shows that the club is really on the cause of making new history if the efforts and skills of the players are fairly utilized.

We had so many wrong players at the club that was pushing the club backwards and that's why we had to let go of all of them. I don't get why people are angry that Chelsea is spending this much or are they forgetting that we're also letting go of a full squad, if you add up all the players Chelsea has let go, they can start a game because they're more than 11 which keeper is included because we just let go of Kepa on a loan to Real Madrid. I'm not satisfied with the squad we have right now but unfortunately the transfer window is closed and we still haven't signed a prolific striker and now we have to depend on Jackson Nicolas. He's still a young player that still has alot to learn and putting him under the type of pressure he'll be at leading the line at Chelsea, won't be good on him.

I'm afraid Cole Palmer has already completed a £45m move from Manchester City to Chelsea, thus Cole Palmer is now a new Chelsea player, i don't know why Chelsea have made this signing, especially for that price, i know Cole Palmer is quite young, but Chelsea already have enough attackers, and imo they have been buying too many players lately, they actually need to stop and assess their transfer business.

The reason we made this signing is because we don't have better wingers that we can depend on to deliver results week in and out so we needed backups for those we have and cole Palmer is the perfect guy for the job because he can play both wings and a youngster which means if Sterling isn't doing well he can be substituted by Cole Palmer and the same thing for who ever is playing at the left because Mudrky has been a flop since signing for Chelsea and chilwell hasn't been the best man playing that position. Chelsea squad is still far from complete and all the players we have been signing aren't playing for Chelsea as we sent most of the youngster on loan to RC Strasbourg. Many people still don't know that Todd Boehly owns the club and he's using Chelsea to sign players for the club.
