941  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't Just HODL But HODL Wisely and Securely on: September 19, 2023, 11:33:30 PM
What sucks is that if most beginners just download a bitcoin wallet off Google PlayStore/Apple AppStore, chances are, they'd land upon an exchange wallet or a custodial wallet. The way bitcoin/crypto is now, you need to learn by mistake first lol before actually ending up diving deeper.
Experience is truly the best teacher but learning by mistakes has been some means to scare many people away from taking cryptocurrency or bitcoin investments. This is where the idea of bitcoin being some Ponzi schemes comes from in the minds of those failed investors.

I think this has made people more curious these days to ask questions but, with the trendy of Binance, I can agree with you that the ideal place for beginners and those that don’t know any better is custodial exchanges. Most see it for a wallet or some safe place to store there precious coins and it remains so because, they don’t know any better.

The few that are this enlightened are those that belongs to a forum and keeps being tutored on what is or obtainable within the cryptocurrency space. It’s often the case when you choose to invest before learning about what your investing in.
We can only hope they don’t get scammed in the process.
942  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel when you look at your first Bitcoin wallet? on: September 19, 2023, 11:24:21 PM
Just recently, I was tempted to check my first ever Bitcoin wallet to see what I have done in the past. I was so depressed seeing the volume of Bitcoin that have passed through my wallet without me saving a reasonable portion of it.

I have the feeling that many forum users too have similar experience; do kindly share just maybe I can feel a little better knowing that I'm not a lone.
I might just have to snipe your first paragraph out as I don’t share the same ideas as you but on the later, it’s very much the case for me and like, I do that you know. I sometimes drop by to check my withdrawals and each time, it’s more damaging than the last I checked. Even with the idea not pegged on sending coins across borders without having to go through the rigorous checks and interview sessions at the bank.
I often come to a realization that, I’ve spent far too much coins than I am hodling at the moment. When I look back to what I’ve spent it on, am not 100% encouraged to have dealt it good as well.
Worst is, I still spend some more up to this day. I still get to top up my portfolio every now and then but, the idea of hodling don’t stop me from spending. As much as I spend, I do buy as well and my hodling volume ain’t that bad. Come next bullrun, I’ll smile some more.

Permit me to digress a little but then, you’ve got so many activities and still stock as a Jr. member. This made me dive right into your profile and posts to see why and the evidence was right in plane view. Your spending way much time running bounties than you should have. Isn’t that time consuming for you? Chasing after worthless coins and tokens. You would do yourself more good if you shift your focus from the bounty section and be more involved in other aspects of the forum.



3. Media : Bitcoin news, events, policy changes, etc. Journalistic events influence the price of Bitcoin.
The media haven’t been exactly pro bitcoin by crafted the news. You find them being more negative in other to entice the government and cover the truth or aspects that could really project bitcoin potentials. Someone, all the negativity leads to doubt and research which eventually breaks the truth and you find more investors pouring in.
Creating a demand and supply curve which is very much appreciated.

5. Investment: Bitcoin's value increases through various individuals, companies, and pneumatic investments.
I’m not sure on what message your passing on this one.
944  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency beats having faits at every point on: September 17, 2023, 11:30:13 PM
"I don't really get why you'd store your money in cryptocurrencies," a friend asked me just a day ago, expressing skepticism about Bitcoin.

I personally enjoy the fact that I'm in charge of storing and managing my crypto assets without anyone doing it for me.
Aside from the fact that fiat is government backed, I don’t see any reason why people will always prefer to save in fiat currency on some local bank account and not have there savings in bitcoin rather. The doubt has always come in when it comes to the government perspective of them but, that’s how shallow or little they know of the currency.
If they knew any better, they would have found reasons to take advantage of this time that volatility is very much playing out on your hodlings over time.

Ever since I learned about the dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy on this forum  I've been committed to acquiring at least 1 BTC. It doesn't feel impossible anymore.
That’s the point, that’s why uou don’t have to procrastinate on buying bitcoin. You don’t have to look down on the little you start your investment with or continue to build a portfolio on. You have to understand that, it gets easier as you go and so long as you keep topping your portfolio, your goal of 1BTC is just at the corner.

I hope this becomes my case as, I’ve got two players missing on my team @Isak @Estupinan. Isak has been one of my unproductive investments. Don’t know how I got him here and everything I imagined just stayed in my imaginations. Lamptey better substitutes his 7 points for one of my zeros, I need that.
Isak's zero minutes yesterday means he'll start the CL game this week and will most likely be benched again in GW 6. He is currently one of the most transferred out this week. The choice is entirely yours.
Like I said, his been a worst investment for me, haven’t made even avargeage points from him since he got on my team, Watkins even was a more better option and I did transfer him out to get Isak in. I guess I’ll just have to leak my wounds and see him out. Still have to contemplate on that over the week though.

It’s a rough week for me non the less. Having over 3 players to zero out on my team. A bitter lesson on international breaks that precedes the UCL. Worst still, didn’t spend much on my bench players and have got almost zero on everyone except for Lamptey. Naaahhh, not a great week although, it’s relatable.
946  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: All business need to risk, so not only crypto! on: September 17, 2023, 08:18:21 PM
I think your subject wasn’t properly titled. Based on the content of OP, I think something like,
“All businesses has risks, so not only cryptos’ would have been more applicable.

All businesses involve risk so the reality is that you should have the ability to take risks.

Everyone says crypto Is high risk is it really true? My guess is less because a lot of people have had success with this crypto.
There is a saying that goes, ‘the victory would be remembered and the bodies that was left behind are often forgotten’ don’t know if am saying it right for sure but, something of that nature.

Using the few that have made life much easy for themselves by finding there fortune in crypto isn’t a perfect yardstick to measure on what is obtainable with cryptocurrency. Many investors have failed as well, especially those who took altcoin investments but, very few persons come out to be vocal about it.

Cryptocurrency remains a high risk investment especially for those who are just coming into the space. You can barely speculate on its market movement and that makes your efforts on trying to get it right a high stake probability and that’s not a very good thing. Still, your welcomed yo take your chances. Don’t let your chances be ruined by fear of failure, take it and see how it goes.
947  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Calm the pressure on: September 17, 2023, 07:33:19 PM
It's not always too late to invest in bitcoins, if you have ever miss any Bitcoin bull run or you have heard about the bitcoins bull run and you are excited to take actions, my simple advice is, calm the pressure. This advice is driven from the view point of the economy struggles of many, avoid over thinking , work hard to earn money and diversify your investment. Most persons in the crypto space are dying in the inside because they do not have money to invest due to their present circumstance. If you do not have money to invest now, please ease the pressure, you may have more than enough to invest in the future. Calm the pressure my dear friends, don't borrow money, I repeat, don't borrow money to invest on Cryptocurrency, because it is a volatile asset. Life is about risk which you have heard  countless times but it will be unwise to take loan to buy bitcoins.
It’s a very hard thing your asking for those that have been able to identify the potentials in bitcoin and the time they just might be letting slide should they not invest at the time.
Yeah, it’s very much early with bitcoin still, we’ve got barely 3 halvings since and we have many more halvings much more than we already have to come.

If the idea at the moment is that, halvings brings about bullrun and that means, price appreciation of pumps, given that we’ve attained just 3 halvings thus far and may more to come,
Wouldn’t the natural idea from history be that, we are going to have more price appreciation in fourth coming years and halvings?

This makes not investing now a hard to imagine reason and understanding the potential that exists within the space a hard to ignore choice.
948  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Knowledge to help you argue with bitcoin critics on: September 16, 2023, 11:20:37 PM
Possibly those and even more but,
Why do I need to argue? Do I really need that? To make everyone believe my words to be true and perhaps go by what I say… naahhh, I’m not sure I need that. I don’t find myself being obligated by anything to try and convince someone other than, the person having to realize just how helpful it would be for them to take to a side that has got bitcoin in it. If the investor’s prospect doesn’t agree, then it’s okay for them to go with whatever gives them peace.

The only time I feel i might have a course to argue is in the event of me having to put out a proposal and have needs to defend it against them critics. Other than that, am just okay buying and hodling while making my achievements silently. I’ll prefer that to having to argue with anyone who just feel they are at the top of knowledge.
949  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If you had AI day trade bitcoin to make profits on: September 16, 2023, 11:14:21 PM
How would one do so efficiently? I am very interested.
Such a stylish way to create a thread with no content at all and have forum users keep it busy for you. Great are your ideas friend. I would have liked a little more direction other than a thread subject and just a line on interest and efficiency!

Still, AI trading is something I’m not very much interested in. I mean, having something without some real emotions or works outside a program to control how my money works without me watching the charts isn’t something am cool with.

It gives me the chills of copy trading which I’ve never been a fan off. I get it I would be doing my analysis on this one and set my orders, TP and SL but, I’m more comfortable handling my trades when I choose to. If I don’t have that time to stay in the market or observe my trade at a distance, I stay off the market.
950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you manage your money on gambling sites. on: September 16, 2023, 11:05:45 PM
~snipe~
There isn’t any assurances that users or gamblers aren’t withdrawing after winnings. People might screenshot based on the excitement and post right away before initiating a withdrawal on there winnings. It’s what I would do in the event of a big win but on the other hand, I rather prefer staying private on my wins. Wouldn’t want that much attention.
Again, it’s a necessity as a gambler, maybe not an addicted gambler but, as one who has the tendency to gamble some weeks when you have some really interesting fixtures. You might get drawn to make a stake and having to fund your gambling account every time is just a shit move. You’ve got to go through the rigors of having to pay transaction fee on it, copy proper wallet address, wait on confirmation time and all that.
Meanwhile, all you could have done is just leave some of your wins in there. It’s just that simple!
951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [banned mixer] 🦁 Fantasy Premier League Pool ⚽ Discussion Thread on: September 16, 2023, 10:52:58 PM
If you're surprised, you're not familiar with buwatress games yet. He has an unrivalled affection for Nunez, and he basically left the captaincy on him for the majority of last season, even when every manager was taking him out for misfiring, but Buwatress stood by.
A love affair huh! I wouldn’t have gotten involved if I knew.

I hate seeing Liverpool win, but they deserve everything they get. I've learned not to celebrate Liverpool losing until the last whistle. Their comeback is incredible.

This season, every GK position is a shambles, with no single viable option.
J. Klopp is just that good. You could see him working his boys just before the half time. Calling Matip yo the sideline to get his instructions across and better still, Liverpool just managed to stay the game at just a goal difference for Klopp yo provide them a chance at a come back which they so successfully served Wolves that seems a lot weak in the second half.

Lamptey may likely switch in for you as he is the only DEF option on your bench. He had a great game.
I hope this becomes my case as, I’ve got two players missing on my team @Isak @Estupinan. Isak has been one of my unproductive investments. Don’t know how I got him here and everything I imagined just stayed in my imaginations. Lamptey better substitutes his 7 points for one of my zeros, I need that.
952  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Remitano exchange allegedly hacked on: September 16, 2023, 10:36:45 PM
Is deposit and withdrawal still available on Remitano or it has been disabled?
I try check am out on there online wallet if the fields still dey open for withdrawals across various coin offerings and online the time way them been dey do maintenance way be say, them dim options way no dey available to use, the fields dey very live and active. So e dey safe to say, you fit still dey run your deposit and withdrawal but, you gats dey on guard. I been get the impression way, with all these there plenty upgrades and maintenance, things fit sup and e don dey sup like this.
How them wan con tell me say, them start maintenance and days later, go on and other upgrade then the next thing, coins are getting wiped. I no go say I pity people way dey keep coin on exchange shah but, I go hope say, them learn lesson from the plenty way dey happen of recent. FTX and now Remitano. Make we try dey do more of bitcoin and hodling on a non custodial wallet.
953  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [banned mixer] 🦁 Fantasy Premier League Pool ⚽ Discussion Thread on: September 16, 2023, 01:56:59 PM
So I forgot about fantasy after the international break and I tried to open it to set up some changes like 5 minutes before the first game started.
5 minutes before the first kick off means, you were already 25minutes late to make any changes on your time. The game league would run into a reset or preparation mood and you can’t even do much then except, read news and check fixtures.
Hope you’ve been able to recover login details though.

I still kept my captaincy on Nunez... knowing he had some injury from international, knowing he might not start, because I really thought Wolves would be a good reset team.
Captaincy on Darwin Nunez! Come on, he haven’t got that consistency yet to carry such a heavy challenge. He played a slight unstable football today, he’s footwork weren’t right as he seemed to struggle in finding balance and rhythm with the ball. Although, their presence on the pitch brought about a lot of difference to the dynamics of the game.
You might be lucky with 4 points off Darwin for your captaincy, lol.. Klopp had you on this one.

Salah still yet on my trigger so I missed points from his hattrick of assists but he will soon be on my sights, if I can sort out my midfield.
Don’t want to have regrets on that yet but, that was good enough for Salah in this game. Having a stationary defense built about him with Rayan and M. Salah’s intent for the game pretty much changed to giving assists. Such ingenious passes he chipped in, making sure there was a defender up ahead to put the goal scorers on sight.
Am still looking up to 2 of my introduced players to make up for those points so, I have little course for regrets yet.
954  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [banned mixer] 🦁 Fantasy Premier League Pool ⚽ Discussion Thread on: September 16, 2023, 12:52:07 PM
Today's Liverpools starting 11 looks weak without the likes of Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk(red card) responsible for defensive duties and looking at how much they have allowed Wolves to come close towards their goal I see this going Wolves way unless the like of Diaz and Nunez are brought on to try and salvage a point or something...and with this result, this is what I dislike about international breaks...they just disturb a teams momentum!!!
Btw, anybody having Liverpool assets, I feel your pain!
It was surely a weak team Liverpool had in the first half and you could tell by how badly they played and how Wolverhampton capitalized on every chance they’ve got. Can’t say but, it was cool having to watch M. Semedo handle the ball through the Liverpool players, he seemed quite confident with his play and it was all Wolverhampton in the first half but, the Tempo of the game is changed now. You could always trust Klopp to come up with some interesting switch in play for a second half and that seems to be the case as you could see Liverpool mounting so much pressure in the second half.

I wonder just why Klopp had Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez on the bench. I mean, these are the players that had made huge impacts for Liverpool just before the international break and coming to see them not in the first line up… that was something I didn’t understand with Klopp but, he’s got his hands to it.



I got M. Salad off my team to have enough balance to get some players in like Maddison and J. Alvarez. Now, M. Salah has got his assists and is still out here looking for his chance on goal. Hope I don’t get to regret my decision.
955  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Was it my fault or not? on: September 15, 2023, 11:17:01 PM
A few days later, I told the police to bring me the lady that sent the coins to my director's Bitcoin address, So they did. To cut a long story short, when I checked the address the lady sent the Bitcoin to, it was a USDT address that my director gave to the lady to send Bitcoin to unknowingly to him.

After that, I was granted bail, so I look for money to bail myself out, but the happiness I heard was that I didn't sell any of my coins while I was in a hard situation, so I know that since I didn't sell my coins to bail myself from the police cell I can hold my coins for longer time.
Was it my fault?
It’s possible that the police could pick someone up in a mass arrest situation but, it’s not always the case when you’re singled out for an arrest. You must have committed something or born out of a misunderstanding.

As initiator of idea and a more better expert on the course in your supermarket as I’ll like to presume,
It’s okay for you to instruct them to call you when confused or not take a transaction at all when you’re not readily available. They’ve been doing well with fiat and could still manage a few days of your absence from work. It’s easy to say, “our sales rep in cryptocurrency collection isn’t available” and you provide alternatives.

Either ways, I can’t blame it on anyone as you’ve rightly stated it to be an issue of misunderstanding. It ain’t your fault, neither is that of your boss. You both misunderstood each other.
956  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Buying goods or services using crypto on: September 15, 2023, 11:02:51 PM


Nowadays, most merchants accept bitcoin as a payment option in their businesses. But if Bitcoin holders don't think it's practical to use it as an online payment, especially if you're a long-term holder, of course you'll think about its value when it comes next year, possibly high for sure.

Maybe, even Ethereum seems difficult to use as a mode of payment in online business or traditional. Because these cryptos are really good and have the potential to hold in the long-term.
I don’t know where these merchants are that I am never getting hodl of them. Maybe it’s my country but, am still yet to met a merchant that would accept bitcoin for exchange of his or her much needed services or products. On the forum perhaps but that’s at some risk and a question of reputation but, for some physical representation of the process to exchange of goods and services, I’m yet to future even though am willing for record’s sake at the very least.

I agree with you that, if bitcoin hodlers or investors aren’t willing to transact with bitcoin as a based currency just yet, the whole idea is thwarted. This will continue to be the case in the phase of gradual acceptance and the volatile nature of the currency. You can’t blame anyone on that, it’s still gaining some expansion and users are out for gains.

The problem of responsibility as a housewife or wife often makes the majority of women have to bury their ambitions to become entrepreneurs, well I myself am currently carrying out two roles as a housewife and an online entrepreneur, it really drains energy when problems come and there aren't any none of that helps, many also say that women can't build a business because they are too sensitive and get carried away by their feelings about anything, to be honest I agree with this saying.
It’s always been a man’s world and women are just doing the most they could in trying to fit in and compete favorably and at times, I feel that’s a problem. Having the impression that it is about them @women, trying to compete with the men. It carries an idea that, it ain’t really your place or thing.
Men do this and act this way because, they have a sense of duty and responsibility towards being that person or doing that thing. If women don’t think this way or have that mindset about duty, then, it’s always going to be a man’s play ground.

Still, I’ll like to say, the women of our time are doing well and their efforts and challenge posed on the men is overly noticed and appreciated. You push men above their limits with the works you guys are putting in and for these, we have better men now than we would have a century ago.

Being an economist doesn’t make you a perfectionist that can solve all the problems arising in your immediate environment. You can only solve a few and maybe some theories would not apply but then, there are other theatrics that do applies in other aspects to living.

Like we can see in demand and supply curves,
Economies that produce more of what they consume and do more in export other than import would always have a fairly stable standard of living. These are some bases to stability and humanity is sure to create its own problems. We could only try!
959  Economy / Economics / Re: Building wealth it's not just one time Luck on: September 15, 2023, 10:33:13 PM

If there’s wealth that you were able to built out from a single luck, then expect that it will also vanish all of a sudden just like a thin air. That’s why stable wealth are hard to build and establish. Sometimes, you need more than just one luck, and a sufficient knowledge and skills, and a good amount of patience in order to build your wealth. If you do everything and yet you’re still not lucky, probably you are doing the wrong and ineffective way.
Can anyone build wealth out of a single luck? I mean, let’s look at it.
Wealth is much different from when you say someone is rich! They both aren’t the same thing and vast significantly by my understanding.

Rich simply puts you in a position of having just enough money to maintain a lifestyle around the average level. Maybe you own a house, car, business, few properties, family and can afford most of your expense.
When someone is wealthy, you almost own enough joy yo work a day anymore in your lifetime and still, you would be rich enough to afford all that you would desire.

That’s how I look at them and I don’t think it’s a level one can archive out of a single luck. People can inherit wealth but, you don’t get wealthy out of luck.

Quote
Currently, we are conducting essential maintenance on our coin deposit/withdrawal system due to a network issue. This may result in temporary delays and interruptions in deposits and withdrawals. We anticipate this maintenance to last for approximately 48 hours.
Lately, Remitano don dey turn watin person no dey understand. The rate at which them dey come up with these maintenance this and that dey very disturbing and unsatisfying plus, you dey at risk of loosing your coin should you not be informed in time and you transact within this period. The only thing you go see from them be say, them go just put out a statement on the development and possible consequence and just like that, them don end am.
E no just sure for them this period and if you dey conduct business with them, e dey best you better visit there site first before you even initiate any transaction. Them dey like put info on dashboard so, you got get tips way you no notice on your mail.
No neglect exchanges and try dey use this same approach with other exchanges so, you no go sorry for yourself.
