901  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Beware of social media influencers promoting crypto vendors on: October 05, 2023, 07:14:08 PM
After I fall victim for the influencers, I no think say I go ever listen to whatever them fey talk again, until I confirm am say na true by myself. They can do or say anything to get paid, and they don't care about the feelings of their fans, but they are only after making money. Social media is a place which people promote scam and claim that the project is the best, when they know that it is a lie. Na so one of my guy come tell me about one shitcoin, and I tell am say na shitcoin but he say na one celeb dey advertise am. After I explain everything to am, he come vex why them go deceive people to go throw way their money.
902  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Battle of why we dey earn but no progress on: October 05, 2023, 06:57:31 PM
Cuz I observe most of these oyibo(s) say them dey archive great thing's and living a comfortable life with lesser stresses unlike us for 9ja.
Then I observe say no be really by how much got paid or hard harder working but the caused of responsibility costs.
Oyibo don make everything easy for their citizens by structuring their country so that no matter the population wey them get, government go fit still dey capable to take care of majority of her citizens. For here out government fail to plan for their citizens, buy instead them dey after themselves alone, which make things dey hard because and no jobs wey go fit make people to fit depend on themselves. Secondly, na we be the problem to ourselves, because if you know say your family background dey poor and everyone dey rely on you, you go know the kind of life to live with the economy situation. Wetin I mean be say know the kind friends wey you dey keep, make e no be the friends wey dey like flex all the time, if not them go make you dey spend too much. Then when it comes to your family, attend to the important problem and leave the rest because, even though you be billionaire, you no go fit solve all your family problem finish as more problems to dey come.

If your reply dey too short, Dem no dey neccessary, this place no he social media for all those kind chat, that one self is considered spam.
If your comment is the fact of the discussion, and it is  short, that is not called spamming @Loyce Mobile replie is an example. What if you talk so many story and na off topic, so it is not by the length of your reply that confirms that you are a shit poster.

When your quote they carry multiple quote , that one self dey more like sparm cause e dey always de hard to read am by others.
This also depends on the board of discussion, for example the gambling board that majority of forum members visit and contribute there base on their signature campaign demand and for the love of sport. Although, I understand what you mean OP.
904  Economy / Economics / Re: Ideas without action: An overview of a successful entrepreneur and a dreamer. on: October 05, 2023, 04:12:44 PM
👉👉Fear of been a failure
Fear is one great factor that can easily kill dreams. Failure shouldn't be an obstacle for you to achieve your dream. Alot of billionaire today has once failed in the history of their life. Check out this my article (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5412780.msg60900070#msg60900070) on Rejection, failure and disappointment, its impact on ones achievement... From this you will see that sometimes one needs to fail in life to grow.
Fear of the unknown is the worst thing that one should put in mind in whatever he is doing, because this will deprive you from talking a bold step into investing and it will hinder you from growing. In business fear of being a failure is good and bad. If you have not started the business and you have this fear that the business will fail, it is an opportunity to you to kill that fear by being careful in your decisions and this will also make you to acquire knowledge on the threats that your business will face so that you can be prepared for them. You might also be able to have a strategy on how you will over come those threats.
On the other hand, when you don't see the fear of your business failing as a challenge to take proper precautions, fear will make you never try to take risk on investing and it will discourage you towards achieving your goals.

Quote
Failure to embrace risk
To achieve in life, you must learn to embrace risk. Everything in life is risk. Mr Johnson has $2000 and he said to himself. The economy doesn't favour any business and I don't want to lose my money, so let me just keep it in bank . He has forgotten that the bad economy system will also hit the money in his account.
For any businessman to be successful, that person must take risk to invest because he hasn't invested yet but he believes that he can can become successful in his business without knowing about what will happen tomorrow, if the business will favor him. Bit because he has a goal, he just need to invest so that he can see the outcome of his investment. What I understand is that successful businessmen take more risks than the unsuccessful ones, for them to grow.

Quote
Lack of self confidence
Some people don't have confidence in themselves. They never believe they can do it alone. Self confidence is highly needed if you want your idea/business to be successful.
In life whatever you are doing, you must have that confidence in you that you can achieve it, if not it wouldn't work out for you because you will be demoralized with the thought of not making it, since you don't believe in yourself.
905  Economy / Economics / Re: Women are more economical than men. on: October 05, 2023, 03:48:43 PM
We had this argument where I was the opinion that most men spend money on things that they are obligated to and cannot control it at times due to responsibilities, men are used to spending money already and because of being used to it, they can find it hard to be as economical as women can be. Do you agree with this unpopular opinion that women are more economical when it comes to money and are able to manage themselves and their homes better than men do?
Not really I think? I mean if we were talking about majority vs. minority, then maybe, but if you were to say that most economic men lose out to your average woman, then millionaires wouldn't be males, they'd be females. Imo it's natural for someone to plan out their expenses, whether they be male or female. I think it just naturally switched over to females after a decade or so of being together due to the natural shifting of responsibilities in a family. Outside of the context of a family, I think both are rather equal, it's just a matter of capabilities at that point regardless of gender.
Females are not millionaires compare to men because men take more risk to look for money than women and men have a better knowledge on investment than woman, and men are also given better opportunities than women. When you talk about managing of finance, this depends on the person and not gender because I have seen a lot of women that lavishes their husband wealth and believes that he has enough. For one to be able to manage funds, it means that he must discipline him/herself on this, and not compulsory that it is a gender thing. On the other hand, some men can spend carelessly and forget that they need to manage the resources because they are exposed to so many means which can suck money out of their pocket. Managing of funds depends on the individual either male or female.

Cryptocurrency investment is risky so you may need a coach or Mentor and if you cannot afford always read the valuable content posted on BTC and Cryptocurrency in this community as there are many topic that can be useful to your growth and development.
Investing in bitcoin doesn't need any coach because it is not a sport that you need a coach to bring out the best in you. The only thing that you need is make up your mind that you are going into a long term investment on bitcoin and know the right knowledge on how to keep your bitcoin safe and the right wallet to use. After this, you prepare yourself towards how much you will be using on DCA regularly to increase your bitcoin portfolio. Any other thing can be learnt in the forum or DYOR. Discipline and patience is the key to be a successful hodler. If you trade, there is high possibility that you will lose your coins because trading is similar to gambling, since no one can predict bitcoin price movement accurately.
907  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How I heard about Bitcoin and my experience on it on: October 05, 2023, 03:07:59 PM
What a sad experience because you lack knowledge and don't have anyone to guide you through on your bitcoin journey. This is what happens when you buy bitcoin at the wrong time and don't know that it is only when you invest in a long term that you will benefit from it. And when the price begin to drop below your entry point, one will panic and sell. OP, now that you are in the forum and you have start to understand how bitcoin works, it is better you buy now and don't wait till when you have major knowledge about bitcoin here, because there is no need you start wasting time. When you buy, you should invest in a long term and don't bother about the price movement but have a price target that when bitcoin reaches, you can sell and take profit. Only use money that you can afford to lose, or money that you don't need for other important purpose to buy bitcoin.

Thanks everyone for your concern and contributions. I believe its still a fresh start for me and I'm still on track, not minding when I came back onboard. The future will surely be brighter..

908  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Keep learning newbies, The forum has a lot to offer on: October 05, 2023, 02:54:44 PM
The forum is open for everyone to come and tap bitcoin knowledge from professional so that you can use this knowledge to achieve something great tomorrow. The forum has so many resources that one can benefit from, in order to expand your financial status outside the forum or inside the forum. I could remember some group of people asked me to teach them what is bitcoin and to my surprise after the class, they brought out a little gift to appreciate my effort and I told them not to bother. The forum also help one on how to discipline himself when investing on bitcoin on how to manage his resources and trim excess spending so that the person will be able to continue to grow his bitcoin portfolio through regular DCA. So many good things on living a happy life tomorrow with bitcoin as long as you are ready to learn. Learning is the key here.
909  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I choose Bitcoin on: October 05, 2023, 09:31:46 AM
No one should trust everything online, especially when it comes to giving out money to someone without knowing the person. The interest is too high to be real and this online bank can run away with your money, when they see that the time to pay you back is close. You should ask your friend if he doesn't need the money over a long period of time and if he says yes, you should encourage him to invest in bitcoin. Make sure you teach him the basic knowledge of bitcoin and the right wallet, like electrum wallet to keep his funds, because it is an open source wallet. Bitcoin is the best for him to invest in, since fiat currency will depreciate when kept in the bank but bitcoin is an hedge to inflation and is a safe haven.
910  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Invest only in Bitcoin and never invest in shitcoin on: October 05, 2023, 09:05:41 AM
There is a safe play with altcoins investment, if you want to invest in altcoins, go for those that are listed on the Binance exchange that have not seen any bull market before, either they are backed by VCs or not, they will do very well in the next bull market.
I totally disagree with you that those altcoins in Binance exchange is safe to invest in. Altcoins remain altcoins, and nothing can change it. For you to invest in altcoin, it means that you will not have rest of mind in your investment because you will be busy checking your portfolio, making research. It is better that you avoid it because it doesn't worth the stress. It is only greedy people that get carries away with the hype and think that they can make 100x profit, and before you know it, you will run at lost.

Quote
I believe the best time to start buying Altcoins is in 2024 after the halving, that's because a recession ks still possible between now and next year, also most altcoins will make new lows in 2024, altcoins investment is a more risky play, but if you can play your cards right you will have successful stories fo tell.
It is better that you avoid altcoins and only buy bitcoin because it is easy to make profit from bitcoin, all you need to do is to be patient with your investment and hodli for one circle or more but altcoins are short term investment and it is like gambling that the risk of losing is 50-50. Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that will survive as time goes on and it will also increase in value.

_ Avoid trading altcoin: you are not a genius trader, you will eventually get burned.
Not just altcoins but if possible everything about trading including bitcoin when you don't have the knowledge of trading.

Quote
_ Attend meet up and conference, the Bitcoin community is awesome.
This is not necessary at all for privacy sake, I will prefer to stick here in the forum because there is a lot to learn here, because you don't know who is watching you.

_join #bitcoin Twitter: it's less lonely with fellow holders.
Need less, the forum and Google has everything that you will like to know crypto latest updates, just DYOR.

Quote
_ Don't Force Bitcoin on others, but be a resource to those who seek knowledge
This is what I hate the most because it will be a waste of time when you are trying to force someone to accept bitcoin, and the person might end up thinking it is a scam.
912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: October 04, 2023, 04:01:10 PM
Man United's suffering is getting bigger and bigger. It looks like their Red color is being blurred. Grin The start of the match was quite convincing as they took control and won with a goal from Rasmus Hojlund. Even Rasmus Hojlund however could have scored again and drawn.  But the bad result of Onana's blunder earned Casemiro a red card. This makes it easier for Galatasaray to press.  Currently Man United is the caretaker. It seems that they will find it difficult to qualify for the knockout stage.

This club, which was once so dominant in European football, is now experiencing difficult times. It is very worrying to see MU's current condition, losing in the league and UCL and playing at home.
watching the match last night, I saw the beginning of disaster for Mu when Onana's mistake which resulted in Casemiro's red card became one of the crucial moments that had a negative impact on Manchester United's game. and everyone knew after that Icardi could score
It baffles me to see that Man United time to participate in UCL is a blunder to their fans and the club, because of the poor defensive pattern and Onana worst performance. I don't have any hope for them to pass this group stage because since this season started and after I watched two of their games in the premiership, I knew it that Man United will be a mess in the champions league and I wasn't surprised at what happened yesterday because I knew it that Man united is suffering from a big problem that might not be gotten rid of this season.

It is also good that newbies should make sure the wallet is a noncustodial wallet that supports RBF and CPFP. There are some good wallets that were not mentioned in the child's board because they are new wallet, like blue wallet. If you have money to buy a hardware wallet, then i will recommend passport wallet. Then if you have other altcoins, you can use unstoppable wallet as it is a multi-coin wallet. I am not saying that altcoins are goof to buy as a newbie but sometimes we might be paid with altcoin and that is why one need to know a good and reliable multi coins wallet, because I have seen some signature campaign that pays in altcoin.
914  Economy / Economics / Re: What would you do in this situation? Invest or save? on: October 04, 2023, 03:32:01 PM
Keep the $15,000 while doing other work that will yield the remaining money over a long period.
I will prefer this option, because it is the safest and best option for one that wants to start big with $20k, if it happens that $15k wouldn't be enough to stand the business to what is expected. Since you said it is a long-term period of time, that I need to look for the balance, then I will prefer to use the $15k to invest in bitcoin, since the bull run is coming up soon. This will generate the balance of $5k that I will add up to start the business. Who knows I might even get more than $5k after I sell the bitcoin that I bought. As long as I have what gives me income, it is cool.

1. Invest the $15,000 into a smaller business hoping that the returns will yield the remaining $15,000 in a short period. Note that this has the potential of failing and wasting the already saved $15,000.
Actually, I don't know what type of business that you have in your mind, but it is better to make sure that you don't start up a business that will not be able to stand and yield good profit due to some unforeseen challenges that can occur when setting up the business. It is also better that you don't use all the $15k to put into the business that you want to manage, if not they business might fail, so you can use $11k and keep $4k for any obstacle that the business will face. I will rather just invest in bitcoin as my business and wait for one complete circle before taking profit because I know that there is no business that can give massive income compared to bitcoin investment and I will save my self the stress of insufficient funds and some unforeseen business challenges that I might encounter.
915  Other / Archival / Re: Bitcoin volatility on: October 04, 2023, 02:57:58 PM
I believe that people are keeping their bitcoin in their noncustodial wallet waiting for the halving and this has made so many investors to move their coins from exchanges, so that they can be in full control of their investment as they are preparing for the halving. Also, the trading volume has drop with 88.39% over the previous years. The volatility is low because as bitcoin keep on gaining recognition the believe and trust in bitcoin increases. Investors has also understood that long term hodling is the best way to invest in bitcoin.

Arsenal lost and it was very disappointing even in the game we could see them struggle to get possession and especially score goals, they literally managed to get a goal but sadly couldn't secure a point from today's game, the second day of the UCL has been really surprising as expectations were brought low and most high hopes dashes away, let's hope day three gets better.
 I was quite disappointed that they'd lose to Lens because if you watched the game, you'd see how dominant and in control of the ball they were. Arsenal have a problem of being too confident and it was that lapse in judgement that made them underestimate Lens and the French outfit went and scored, countering on a mistake from the Gunners keeper, David Raya.
The moment Saka left the field it was a bomb to Arsenal because his absent in the game was felt. Arsenal player better in the first half compared to the second half and this was why Lens took advantage of the second half and won the game. Although, the side that played more will Surely win the game and i don't know why Arsenal wasn't serious on equalizing the goal in the second half. I was expecting a draw from the match, but I was disappointed with the final result that Arsenal accepted defeat. Tonight matches was a surprise to me based on their outcome.
918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 03, 2023, 03:30:59 PM
Of course, but as a hobby only, I am not going to waste a lot of money, especially at my age, and if I just have a good fortune at that age, I will never ever waste money if I don't have the capability to do so. Gambling will be a good and entertaining thing to do as you get older, playing with friends or with your family, simply playing card games, and such. Anyway, yeah, I will still gamble, but not too much.
I actually usually do admire elders when I see them gather together in a local casino in my area here to gamble, they usually order alot of bear, chanting and laughing, using the opportunity to discuss a whole lots of issues patterning to our country, they discuss politics, education, pension, whatever, I love to sit around them and just watch them play while discussing all of this, I usually learn many things..

So yeah, for me, I look forward to that time when I will once in a while come together with my friends as oldies, we gamble, chat and chant, it will be so fun I swear 😂.
Mate, you must be used to those old people gambling in your area and from the way that you sound, it shows that they are having fun and at the same time engaging in real discussions about what is happening in your country, and this shows that you really admire them which has made you feel that you can have such fun at old age too. It is fun to gamble at old age as long as you are doing it to pass time and you afford the money to gamble and it wouldn't be a problem to you. As for now, I can't tell if I will continue gambling till old age or not but when the time comes, I will know. We can decide something today and tomorrow we see ourselves doing the opposite, so let tomorrow speak for itself but presently, I will still be gambling.
