Let's not mistake procrastination for laziness they have different meaning so procrastinating doesn't mean the person is lazy, I think you should add laziness cause laziness is the common enemy, when a man is lazy I think that's the end but when it comes to procrastinating sometimes the person might end up doing it, no normal human being will keep procrastinating there might be something wrong maybe the person is scared or something else

For example, everyone making example using bitcoin invest or business, what if that person is scared to invest in bitcoin due to what the person heard about careless investors and instead of the person to come out open the person keep postponing, what am trying to say is everyone have reasons for their actions

Anything wey concern man know man no go even come public takless of scam, they will prefer it hidden. At first when o saw this news I was like the money is too small and I suspected the people that distributed maybe they stole some of the money, scam no even come my mind because if you no give person your personal details how the person wan take scam you, form dey wey you go register so if you no register the money no suppose reach your side.

Even if other online things na scam for this country this 25k own na genuine. But the truth here is now that the news is popular no allow person deceive you because of 25k then you fill your details to scammers after that day nobody receive any money again.

Haven't found much benefits of gambling in my society at all. This is kind of entertainment. Otherwise If people lost more money in casinos and gambling websites, authorities can generate more revenue and thus they could provide huge taxes to their government and make contribution to development hospital, school, Charity and etc in their country? but at the end, impact will be seen in people's daily life after losing in gambling. Those people may start suffering due to lack of money or could involving illegal activities to manage gambling fund for next day. And thus the procedure will be continued? Actually gambling is an entertainment, it is fine if it can be under control and until your society people get addicted. And i like the idea how government allow casinos for others people but not want from their citizens to get involved
I think the same way about gambling, it isn't really beneficial for society because even if it's a way of entertainment for some people, the majority takes gambling as a way of earning money and when people think of gambling that way, they tend to spend a lot of money on it with the hope of making more money with it and eventually losing it all because gambling isn't to provide every gambler with profits and make them rich but it's business for casino owners.

So, the point is, that gambling isn't important for society but it's important for governments for sure because casinos that operate within a country tend to pay a lot of taxes to the government, and tax authorities also charge taxes from people who manage to win significant amounts from gambling.
This is also what I've been thinking, It's not that important in the society but only in the government because they are the one who benefited in gambling activities because of taxes. why would I say that this is not that important in our society? because many people used to gamble and they treat it as their permanent sources of income which is not recommended because I can't see it as stable because we all know that gambling is all about luck with a mixed of some strategies,  also people can have mental health issue such as obsession and addiction.
The government are the ones benefiting from it not the society, have never heard any story like this where my country governor used casino tax money to build charity homes and hospital so seeing it here sounds strange, other countries might be doing it but never heard such.
Let's not mention what the addiction of gambling has done in this modern world and they have refused to learn and change,  they believe it's for their own benefit, so seeing topic like this will encourage gamble addicts to gamble more.

Chelsea players are showing some seriousness in some matches but they are not consistent in their winning which is the major challenge many people are experiencing from Chelsea in this season.
Inconsistency is the major thing Chelsea and Manchester United have in common this season I honestly don't know why is actually like that because the last time was when Chelsea started making some improvement when they meet Tottenham Hotspur and win them after then they started peaking form and when they meet Manchester City we taught Manchester City could easily win them but do to how Chelsea has improve on performance they were able to draw, so after then everybody started seeing Chelsea to have peak form and however they started losing matches, so just like you said inconsistency is there major problem this season, although one of the things that kept me wonder is that Chelsea has a very quality bright players but they always find it difficult to perform well, I don't know if I will say there problem is from there players or the coach.
In terms of player quality, Man Utd actually has better quality players. Because Chelsea is only full of young players. But Chelsea's inconsistency has been going on since last season. And last season the two top level teams that were inconsistent at the same time were Chelsea and Liverpool. But Liverpool has improved since the middle of the season. Well, this season Chelsea is still inconsistent. But accompanying Chelsea on the list of inconsistent clubs this season is Man Utd. I think Man Utd could also improve from the middle of the season. But I don't know about Chelsea. But I hope Chelsea can improve as soon as possible. Because of course Todd Boehly has invested a lot in this club. But things still don't seem to be as he expected.
In terms of players I will agree with you Manchester united players are better compared to Chelsea players I will also say they are still yet to experience and learn more, let's not hope anything from both teams this season they should go and work more on themselves, even if Chelsea win or Manchester united win that doesn't guarantee a come back this season cause when facing a strong team they will be powerless, the problem with Manchester united right now is Ten Hang and Onana, after watching Manchester united vs Newcastle, the team lacks structure what's Ten Hang doing? Then after every match Onana will be the talk of the match.
I don't really know for Chelsea cause the problem there is very big lol, After using money to buy new players there's nothing to show, I call them frauds,  but maybe Pochettino might be the problem who knows, I just hope for change in both teams.

Bitcoin current price is more than 2x of its price in January in comparison to the final month of the year, I remember when some bloggers and social media stars where all spreading FUD saying may like fall to $10,000 or less while others believe it was the end of Bitcoin, but Thank God though for bitcoin did shame them will continue to do so and actually I was caught up with the FUD at that time because I was not an active member of this forum but now I Thank God that I can proudly say bitcoin FUD can never affect me    Grin

Unto say bitcoin price no de predictable, because im de volatile, so you fit no too blame people we get fear to buy. E good to get small small fear for money matter because e no easy to get am, if person make mistake for wrong investment, to regain di money back no de de easy.
You're right, and people go dey regret now but the people wey don invest go benefit, it's best not to force anyone to invest now cause if the person get high expectations and that profit no come out the person go blame you, it's best for them to decide just like wetin you talk bitcoin price dey unpredictable so them dey fear to invest or some people don see shege for their invest so them decide to back off

While some people know the benefit of bitcoin but them dey reluctant to invest, maybe after making research they just don't like bitcoin so any how people dey cash out they still feel the same.
906  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: COULD TERRA CLASSIC BE POISED FOR A RALLY on: December 05, 2023, 08:41:54 AM


The price of LUNC has rallied by 44% in the past 24 hours and this got users wondering why?

The rally comes after crypto exchange Binance announced that it would launch USTC futures contracts, offering 50x leverage.

The futures contract was scheduled to launch at 12:30 UTC today.
LUNC which is formerly known as TERRA LUNA will not win the people's trust anymore because a lot of billions were lost in that shitcoin. But few people might still like to risk their money in it. and I don't think all those people who lost their money in the past will come and invest again. Though I have not been in the cryptocurrency world at that time, but when I came here in the forum I saw the story and it was heart shocking. Well i cant say anything for now, and wait and see.

The way new coins are coming to the ecosystem is getting worried because most of them are not coming to the industry for the good of the people but to scam them and run away. If really they have good intention then they would have invested the money used in building the coins to in bitcoin to have interest. Many of them have fallen while some are still struggling in the ecospace. most of them will end up as a platform to money laundering.

Congratulations, Eloncoin is now listed on Cryptopia!

Here's an article about it — https://cryptopia.in/eloncoin/


This is a good news for the users of Eloncoin and more good news will come and when listed more in the centralized one then the coin will develop well as other senior colleagues as said. And I also want to know if one can use Eloncoin for p2p in the listed exchanges or it used only in the site for staking? And if is only for staking now then the fasten approach to develop the coin will be very slow. But whereby the p2p is enable and effective then the development will be faster than as it is.
909  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will USTC hit 1$ again and be a stable coin ? on: December 05, 2023, 07:42:42 AM
What do you think about USTC that was Terra Luna stable coin which fell from 1.00$ to 0.01$ cent
I bought some of them atm its 0.06$  as it had a jump  does it have a chance to reach 1$ again and be a stable coin
What are your thoughts on this ?
I have not been to this board and this is the first time I am here so I a kind a stranger here. But what I can say is that there are many altcoins in the cryptocurrency market and with different names. Some them are meme coins, shitcoins and others and all are classify as altcoins and all these altcoins, it is not all that will survive, some will go up and come down again while some will not survive because the management or the developers are not ready to work again or they have gotten what they needed. Therefore the only ones which will survive in the space are the ones that the developers are active.
And because of what happened to Terra Luna, and anything that is related to it will not go far again so for USTC to hit $1 is not possible at any time soon.
910  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: withdraw Litecoin from exchange on: December 05, 2023, 07:26:28 AM
I wanted to withdraw Litecoin from one exchange and the only network available is bep20...
theres no other options...is this the right network to use? I think in the past the network was called litecoin network?

btw is LTC still the best option to use for withdrawals?

If there is no litcoin network available then there is no way you can withdraw the funds because you cannot use another network to withdraw it. And another option you can also use is to sell it directly to a vendor which should p2p so that the stress of looking for a way to withdraw the coin will be reduced. And from your statement, "You wanted to withdraw the coin" but the particular network was not available and that means you have the coin s inside the exchange platform. Then there is possibility to use p2p.
911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 04, 2023, 08:16:09 PM
It is clear that if United fails to qualify for the round of 16 or the Europa League play offs, Ten Hag time at United is over, simply put, management will have to fire him. The match against Chelsea was quite strange for me, considering the ups and downs in performance of both clubs this season.

Both Pochettino and Ten Hag are under enormous pressure at the moment, and neither is immune from criticism from fans. It's understandable, considering the money they spend on players but we don't see much progress. I don't think United and Chelsea will reach the top four, but regardless, we'll see how they play at Old Trafford.

Personally, I can't predict who will win this time. Playing at home doesn't guarantee a win for United, and Chelsea inconsistency frustrates me. They held City to a draw but then lost to Newcastle. Overall it is very difficult to understand these two elite clubs.
Have said this before am not sure both teams have a coach are they sleeping or what, most especially Chelsea they wasted their money buying frauds, what both teams are facing now I will blame their coach Ten Hang and Mauricio Pochettino and in situations like this we should blame the coach, I can still remember when Arsenal faced the similar issue every week Arsenal will always play something else and everyone blamed Wengar, same problem with Arteta at first and I was like what's going on but till today I can't tell how  Arteta build himself and the team, Ten Hang and Pochettino should work on themselves first before the team can progress, I find no fault in the players.
Manchester united vs Chelsea match will be so funny it's a must watch match but I can't predict the winning.
912  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ETH the King of Altcoins ? on: December 04, 2023, 07:48:02 PM
I can't really tell if ETH is that good like what almost everyone is saying, I have a friend that invest both in ETH and bitcoin anytime I ask him about his investment he will say fine and have not notice him having problem with both coins.

From what have observe he has never made any bad comment against ETH so I will say ETH is also good but not compared to bitcoin. From my little knowledge ETH is more cheaper to buy compared to bitcoin so ETH give room to investors that cannot afford bitcoin.
913  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cristiano Ronaldo get 1 billion dollars lawsuit for his NFT failure on: December 04, 2023, 07:17:56 PM
Most people get fooled and I will really balme them, the investors should be blamed and I will also blame cr7 for not making a proper research before advertising, but who am I to criticize Ronaldo maybe they offered a juicy offer to advertise.
If every investor starts following social media influencers or celebrity without making proper research then all influencers might end up in court cases, all this influencers or celeb they don't know what they're advertising they just do it for the money and I don't expect a serious investor to be fooled cause they get paid for advertising for example cr7 is a footballer with the highest followers on instagram just imagine seeing your favorite celebrity advertising a coin.
Seeing this news tells a lot about modern investors, they're just investing cause of the money not for the knowledge.
 
914  Other / Politics & Society / Re: freedom of expression on: December 04, 2023, 12:52:55 PM
Freedom of speech has always been the right of every citizens, everyone is allowed to express their opinion and thought towards something but now things have changed, we can't speech freely fear of the government, or what if someone is hearing.
In most countries a lot of people get killed just because of their speech against the government, against the society.
So in this case people are force to control their speech most especially the civil servants, government workers cause if they speak bad against the government they'll be sack from their job, so in my opinion the government are responsible when it comes to limitation of speech, cause when everyone keeps fearing the government then they're the issue.
915  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Kids and Bitcoin on: December 04, 2023, 12:33:34 PM
My next Bitcoin awareness approach now are the children, there are many kids in my family and very soon our get-together tradition is approaching, I need your help in this forum if this is possible.

I remember when I was little, I love reading books that have good pictures on them, like comics and novels painted with amazing pictures, from Peter Pan to DareDevil and Supergirl, while growing up as an adult I ended giving out these comics to my cousins.

My question is where can I buy Bitcoin comic books that can catch the attention of children between the age of 7 to 11? I want something in comic or story book style and with full story about Bitcoin or related... I want to buy and wrap them up for the surprises.

Have always love the idea educating young ones about bitcoin, and teaching kids about modern technology, I think looking for a comic book that talks about bitcoin will be very rare to find, I love your idea most people wish they had the knowledge about bitcoin earlier and you trying to teach your kids about bitcoin sounds nice but will your children love the book, children nowadays love cartoons like Ben 10, seeing their friends with other cartoons will they love the book without cartoon.
I will prefer the anime videos it sounds better, like watching an anime video that educates little children about bitcoin it'll be fun to watch
916  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Happy Xmas to 9ja local bitcoin community! on: December 04, 2023, 12:07:39 PM
Happy new month/Xmas my 9ja people! as we don enter the end of the season, wetting we don Achieve this year so far? Because celebrating this Xmas without person achieving a tangible thing for this year, e go hard person celebrate am.  although no be only achivement we dey celebrate, but also the life our baba God don give us. E no mean say we no go also celebrate our achivement. Our achivement na a driving force to carry celebrate the end of the season.
Yeah you are right because irrespective of most people perception, view or understanding about celebration we don't necessarily need to achieve everything before we can celebrate because at least if there is nothing to celebrate life should be worth celebrating.

To day alive reach now is only the grace of God because if you they listen to news about so many things way they happen everyday and people way they kpai, you go no say we supposed to they celebrate everyday, so i no they reason Xmas celebrate based on the things way we done get but instead na the life I they celebrate because na person way they alive na him they hustle.
The first thing wey everybody suppose celebrate right now na the gift of life e dey sure for everybody irrespective of achievement, rank, wealth etc na the gift of life dey important.
I will not blame anyone celebrating wealth or anything cause this year was a tough year for everyone, maybe no be money problem but other things dey so celebrating achievement na still better thing but in the processing of celebrating we should not forget to acknowledge our creator.
917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: December 04, 2023, 11:54:44 AM
Although only few people got involved in thispoll, but with more people that comment, most of us on this forum are gambling responsibly.

Weekly gambling budget is good. I think it should not be more than 5% of your weekly income. If you gamble with just 5% out of 100%, I think that is a responsible gambling.

To avoid gambling addiction, it starts from using little budget.

10% is still a good number. But you and I can agree that it's easier to set a gambling limit or budget but when it comes to sticking to it, that's where the work comes in. Even responsible gamblers can go outside their budgets and exceed their limits sometimes, but the most important thing is knowing when to call it a quit, and not going off the edge and that's what makes you a responsible gambler. Because you can't tell me that it's every week you stick to your limit cos I wouldn't believe that

Sticking with your set plan mostly being dominated by emotions,  even those experienced gamblers can agree that there's still time that they lost their control and they exceed from their set targets,  but the only good thing from those wise gamblers even in some events they made a mistake they can accept the loss and move forward. 

If you have that same attitude  as you care with your finances chances that you'll not going to lose a lot is possible,  you can let it go after making that mistake and re-try what you originally setup as your strategy and limitations .
True!!! If possible don't set a goal because it will make you push more to play in gambling and you will not be satisfied until you reach it even if you say that you still have self control on limit with goal you will still have a lingering feeling wanting to reach the goal, so if possible don't set a goal or amount, or if you can't help to set a goal then don't always hope that you can earn it because gambling is too unpredictable so expect downsides, if possible just treat the set goal as your stop point if for example you've gain and being lucky then if you reach that goal then its time to keep safe the capital, but if you feel and ses that you are not that luck in that day then better analyze while playing if you will still continue playing until your goal or better to stop playing to minimize the loss, its about how will you think and how reasonable your thinking is while you are playing.
I think when gambling we should limit our expectations knowing no know can predict rightly, people who can't control their urge this is not about an addict or not, not all gamblers can control their urge, I see this as a result of high expectation from the game that's why people exceed their budget and wanting to bet for more.
There's nothing bad in setting a goal or making budget but 95% of gamblers can't stick to their budget instead after making a budget you find yourself exceeding the budget and it's better not to make a budget when you can't stick to the budget.
918  Economy / Economics / Re: Goverments must have good plan very soon on: December 04, 2023, 11:35:03 AM
       -  First of all, we don't need to depend on the government just to survive. The only thing the government can provide is a program for the people under its jurisdiction that still needs to be worked on by the people who will avail themselves of it.

It's like doing a livelihood program, a free school or scholarship for the youth, a cooperative under the government, and others that can provide help to the people. If we are strategic, we can really find a way for us to survive in reality.
The word I keep hearing "we don't need to depend on the government just to survive" it's best to say we should not depend on government job to survive, they're a lot of people out there with no job or rather with no government job but they're still surviving. So we don't need government job to survive but the society needs the government attention and care, in a society where the government is feeling reluctant in every aspect how will the citizens grow, everyone will be affected either the economy system is bad or poor security, inflation etc. Both business owners, civil servants, investors will still have something to say about the economy. Creating programs and offering scholarship can't just be the solution.
919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 04, 2023, 10:44:58 AM
Manchester City are still on a winless streak now. This was the third game in a row for them in which they got a draw. All of them were against big teams of the league. They conceded 8 goals in these games at the same time.

This is just horrible for Manchester City in my opinion. Because their defense isn't this weak normally. But they just can't have exactly the same kind of domination they imagine in big games. Next time they have an away game against Aston Villa. This is also technically a tough game on paper. Because Emery's Aston Villa are doing really impressive work this season. Let's see whether this bad streak will end for Manchester City.
Aston villa is quite a tough team from their previous match with Bournemouth they played excellent and from my view the match between Manchester city and Aston villa the match will not be an easy one for both teams.
I was surprised I didn't expect a draw from Manchester city the worst part a home game, most people keep blaming the ref I saw what the ref did but the Manchester city I know will still put more effort, the game between Manchester city and Tottenham didn't look surprising to most people, I actually said we should not just conclude yet despite Tottenham poor performance from their games we should not conclude and yesterday everyone was surprised, well it seems Tottenham are back.

Concerning the new office have heard similar story last month say opay go open new office, an opay agent stays in my area and the lady was telling me to create opay card for free and I asked what if the card expires and she said office go soon come that's why they're doing the card for free
