Na the difference wey dey between us and other countries no be small thing. No vex, ah no dey compare, but na the truth. If you look other countries, dem fit use the same method, but e no go be like the way we dey do am here. Dem fit don build gas cylinder wey fit attach to the generator with better material, because dem wan reduce the wahala wey fit happen. But for our country, anything wey we see, we just dey use am. Some people sef dey use gas cylinder wey no good at all.

If you look most of those countries, e dey compulsory say every house suppose get fire extinguisher and the number wey you fit call fire fighters. Abeg, how many of us fit talk say dem get fire extinguisher for house or dem sabi fire fighter number for Nigeria? I think say we suppose dey look the wahala wey fit happen, since we no get solution to any wahala wey fit show face. Because even if the wahala no affect you, e fit cause damage to the person wey get the house or hin neighbors.

I feel pity for anyone that jump into the Bitcoin market without a plan, you'll likely run into problems quickly. It's not a good idea to start investing in Bitcoin without knowing a lot about it and figuring out a strategy that suits you. Investing in Bitcoin isn't like being john wick you're not invincible. If you make bad choices and don't have a good investment plan, you'll end up losing your money bit by bit, and before you know it, you could lose everything.


Got into Bitcoin in 2021, DCAing to this day. I know the benefit of holding. A way that I flip my mind on dips is by looking at them as better buying opportunities. It improved the way I looked at things. So, then I win either way! But also, I focus on my long term, I know I want to accumulate X amount of bitcoin in the future I’ll make sure I make the right choices. People just want the benefits in short term, but things doesn't get grown in short time, it needs time and nurture to grow.

We have the bitcoin halving to look forward to! It is always sure to skyrocket Bitcoin's price. It's up to anyone who wants to sell. I'll be on my chair watching the market while others sell. All I know my Bitcoin is a great long term hold for my future!

Having a strategy and not rushing into things is important. I'm always thinking about the future, and I don't believe in investing just for quick profits, especially with Bitcoin. I like that many people here focus on long-term goals. One reason I don't invest a large sum all at once is because it's better to start early when you have the money and not wait for the huge capital to be there. If I try to save up a big amount to invest later, I might end up spending it on something else. So, I prefer to invest $100 from each paycheck, spreading it out over 3-12 months. This way, I can accumulate more Bitcoin over time.

TBH, if you were to ask me the same question multiple times, my answer would remain the same Bitcoin, Bitcoin, Bitcoin. I've always had a keen interest in technology, leading me to acquire various technological skills such as UI/UX design and development. However, at a certain point in time, when Satoshi introduced blockchain technology and people started embracing this new phenomenon, I became curious. I felt the need to immerse myself in blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency that pioneered it, which is no other than Bitcoin.

Ted Cruz seems to genuinely believe in Bitcoin, and it doesn't appear to be just a political move. Although we can't be entirely certain since we're not Ted Cruz, his actions suggest that he might consider making Texas more Bitcoin-friendly, especially with its many mining facilities.

Some skeptics might argue that politicians often make promises they don't keep, and once they're in office, they could change their stance. However, Cruz has emphasized the advantages of Bitcoin mining for the Texas energy grid. Texas has the potential to become a major Bitcoin mining hub, which could lead to growth and greater Bitcoin adoption in the United States.

Listening to discussions on the "What Bitcoin Did" podcast about Bitcoin's role in Texas has been eye-opening. Bitcoin miners can help stabilize the energy grid by buying excess energy that would otherwise go to waste. This benefits both the grid's stability and Bitcoin mining. It's also worth noting that Ted Cruz appears to be optimistic about Bitcoin.

Your absolutely right buddy.  I'm actually enjoying the waiting time. It lets me make plans and gather more Bitcoin. Plus, I'm using this time to learn from contributions here, and I have to say, dealing with Bitcoin has made me a lot smarter than i was. So, my advice is to be patient. In a few years, you'll see some huge gains. I've been through several cycles in the Bitcoin world, and I can tell you that if you're patient, stay strong, and believe in it, you'll be handsomely rewarded.

The longer it takes for the next bull run, the more time you have to buy it cheap. So don't wait any longer, just rejoice in how cheap you are buying it now.

TBH even a pleb who has been dollar cost averaging bitcoin is now in profit no matter when they first started DCA'ing as long as they maintain the frequency of purchase. I know the chart shows summary for daily DCA'ing but it still works well for weekly or monthly depending on plan. You should know what you can afford to invest in the next 12 months. Then divide that amount by the frequency you want to set (weekly, daily, whatever). Set automatic orders and that’s it.


As a bitcoin investor I believe you should be acquainted with the fact that the economic state of our country does not do us any good but rather make things difficult. Just take a look at current regulations and discussions in Europe regarding btc/internet. As long as people in power see bitcoin as a threat and deny progress, I don't think there will be major changes. Sure, they can't stop Bitcoin because there are lots of enthusiast like you and I, but they can make it a lot more uncomfortable for all of us. So, we should be focused and removed fear that might affect our strategies.

SIM swapping can happen when someone who works for your mobile service provider isn't well-trained or well-paid. This can lead to security issues sometimes.

The company that provides your SIM card should take responsibility because they are in charge of their employees. In the end, the company is more responsible than the individual employee, especially if the employee has to do shady things to make extra money outside of their job. This problem often occurs when someone loses their SIM card.

One way to prevent this is by setting a PIN for your SIM card on your phone. I do this, and it asks me for my PIN whenever I restart my phone. I think even a mobile service representative would need to know my PIN to access my SIM card. Does this protect against SIM swapping? I thought it did, but I'm not entirely sure.

Bitcoin will always be like the special money for the internet. I'm impressed by how people are investing in it, but it's important not to buy it just because everyone's talking about it or because some die-hard Bitcoin Maxist say it's the only way to go without a well thought plan. The truth is, Bitcoin's value could keep going up forever, or it could crash to nothing. So, I've spread out my Bitcoin investments across different wallets to make sure I won't lose everything if it goes downhill. I'm thinking long-term, like decades.


Here's the idea buddy, You hold onto your Bitcoin for as long as you can work and support yourself with your body. When you can't do that anymore, you use your Bitcoin savings to take care of yourself. That's why they say money is like energy. it's supposed to replace the energy your body can't give you when you're old. In the end, you'll have this digital asset that can't be taken away from you, and it won't lose its value because of one person.

What you choose to do with your Bitcoin is up to you. You can give it to your kids or spend it when you're older.

It's quite simple and understandable. You can talk about Bitcoin in different ways, like calling it a currency or an asset. When you refer to Bitcoin as a currency, you should follow the usual currency format where the symbol comes before the amount, just like in most countries. This makes sense because it's what people are used to.

But when you're thinking of Bitcoin as an asset, the order of the symbol and the amount doesn't really matter. Personally, I wish Satoshi, the creator of Bitcoin, could give some guidance on this for clarity. However, this is just my opinion on how to use symbols when talking about Bitcoin. If I'm wrong or if there's a better way, please feel free to correct me.

 must say you're quite lucky and very attentive to details. Imagine if you weren't observant; you could have lost even more money. To be honest, I don't think the extension was the sole reason for this issue. Most extensions usually require authorization before they can run in your browser, like Chrome or others. I'd like to know, did you ever give authorization to the Google Sheets extension? Or are you suggesting that it gained permission without your consent? If it's the latter, it's clear that any extension that doesn't ask for your permission should be avoided, as it seems to be a scam extension. This is a serious matter, as I also have several extensions on my device, some of which I downloaded from websites I don't fully trust. I think I'll go back and check those extensions to be on the safe side.

Making reckless decisions in the hope of getting rich quickly is essentially what greed is all about. Whether someone is poor or not doesn't really change this fact. Especially when they're not aiming to make money for essential needs, but rather to buy luxury items like a fancy car.

Anyone seeking overnight riches is mistaken, not just in this context but in general. Even if you invest early in Bitcoin, you might make a decent profit, say But to make huge or great profit, you usually need to wait for several years and hope that a market downturn doesn't wipe out your gains.

Greed often leads people to hold onto their bitcoin without cashing out any profits, and they might end up selling when the market is at its lowest, which is basically buying high and selling low. It's better to set realistic goals for your investments to avoid chasing unrealistic dreams.

Given that you don't seem to recognize inequality as an issue, I'm not sure whatever element of inequality speaks to you. According to what I've read in the responses thus far, inequality has been shown to hinder economic progress, exacerbate poverty, foster societal mistrust that can lead to the dissolution of social ties, and even threaten the democratic process itself.

Even if they see some income growth, the poor nonetheless suffer from high inequality since it raises their cost of living. Luxury and useless products are frequently purchased by wealthy people in search of higher returns, which drives up prices particularly for things like housing, faster than the wages of the poorest. Do you disagree that high inequality creates these problems and makes it harder for the poor even while they obtain some part of growth?

OP I have read serially with deep understanding on what another member has responded about this topic. Because I was curious to see what they have to say and what they believe as an investor. Am not an expert but what am certain is that you can't call someone an investor when they haven't put capital on a particular thing either for long time with the sole aim of getting profit in return.


I get your perspective, buddy, but I don't fully agree. I wouldn't categorize traders as investors, instead, I'd call them gamblers. Trading involves predicting the price of an asset and quickly stake your money to make a profit. On the other hand, investment is about evaluating an asset's potential and putting your funds into it for better long-term returns. On the hand they have one thing in common which is they staking of your capital

We should understand that holding Bitcoin might not be suitable for everyone, especially if you're not financially stable. Your ability to hold Bitcoin largely depends on your source of income. For example, if you have only $100 worth of Bitcoin and you plan to hold it for a long time, you need to consider the market's high volatility. A 10% drop in Bitcoin's price could result in a loss of your funds.

If you're thinking about holding Bitcoin for an extended period, it's advisable to have at least 50% of one whole Bitcoin. This way, you'll be more confident in holding it for the long term. It's almost certain that the price of Bitcoin will increase over time, so if you have the funds, you can consider buying and holding. Luckily, the next Bitcoin halving is expected in 2024, which could be a favorable time to invest.

Always remember that any time can be a good time to buy Bitcoin, especially if your intention is to hold it for the long run.

Advising someone to buy Bitcoin when they're feeling pressured might not be the best idea because of the risks involved. If someone is interested in Bitcoin and wants to become a holder, they should do it at their own pace. Rushing into buying it without understanding how to invest properly can lead to wasted time and money.

Many people are fearful, and humans often seek safety in numbers. Only a few daring individuals make decisions independently without relying on others' opinions. It's a part of our instinct to stick with a group, and it's natural to be cautious about going it alone.

Some folks spend their money on things like alcohol, entertainment, or other non-productive activities. Investing in Bitcoin doesn't have to be a high-pressure decision. If you plan to buy Bitcoin gradually, you can cut back on spending for short-term pleasures and instead invest in something that can provide long-term benefits.

No amount is too small or too large to start investing in Bitcoin. It's not something that should stress you out. You can DCAing to invest a consistent amount over time, and this way, you can accumulate a significant amount of Bitcoin in the long run.

Because the overall market supply isn't expected to change significantly just due to the upcoming halving, the impact on the USD valuation remains the same, I suppose.

Here are a few other thoughts related to miners:

Miners don't always sell their Bitcoins, especially during a bull market, as they have strong belief in Bitcoin's value. This makes sense because they play a vital role in the network's decentralization. Some miners do sell a portion of their earnings to cover operational costs, but this doesn't have a substantial impact on the market supply during bullish or normal conditions when holding is more favorable.

Most of their selling pressure occurs during unfavorable times when they need to meet their expenses. This is why miner capitulation is linked to maximum selling pressure in a market cycle, and smart investors often look for opportunities to buy when miners are selling heavily. For instance, if Miner X is selling a fixed amount of Bitcoin every day to cover their costs, even if Bitcoin's price remains constant for a month, they would continue to sell the same amount of Bitcoin each day. After the halving, they might sell more of their newly mined Bitcoins if necessary to cover their costs. However, in terms of USD, the baseline depends on how much energy the current hashrate requires.

The days of bounties and promised allocations that took 3-4 months to be paid are over. In fact, one downside of bounties is that you end up working mechanically without really using your knowledge and skills. I wouldn't recommend anyone to get into bounties.

There's a lot more to this forum than you might think. If you don't know where to start, look for more helpful threads on this board. Maybe you have a skill that you can offer to others on the service announcement board. It's a good way to earn money by showcasing your talents in exchange for payment.

I suggest reading the forum rules, understanding how it works, reading books about Bitcoin, and engaging in meaningful conversations here. You'll realize you know more than you think you do right now.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all bounties are bad. What I mean is that a successful bounty campaign depends on the project's success, which can only happen if there are good team members involved and a competent bounty manager.

It's a good idea to teach your children about Bitcoin if you're a Bitcoin trader or investor. Sharing your knowledge with your loved ones, especially your children who might inherit it someday, is important.

I've heard of cases where Bitcoins were lost because the owners passed away, or Bitcoin accounts have been inactive for years, and no one knows what happened to them. Remember, there's a saying that when there's less supply, there's more demand. Some people hope that all the past Bitcoin holders would pass away with their funds. They think this would reduce the supply of Bitcoin, and then they could make a good profit because the demand would be higher. But you don't want that for yourself and children.

If you want a brighter future for your children, it's a good idea to start educating them about Bitcoin early. If you're planning to save some Bitcoin for your children when they grow up, make sure you store it properly to avoid losing it or forgetting the access details. You wouldn't want them to inherit nothing when the time comes.

Bitcoin had an advantage when it was just starting out. Not many people took cryptocurrencies seriously, and hardly anyone knew it even existed. This meant that Bitcoin could grow on its own, without a central authority, using a system called "proof of work, and not having other coin in mind at that moment. No company created and launched Bitcoin unlike many altcoins, this why it will remain fully decentralized forever.
