981  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: They sent me btc to my wallet they were available and then they disappeared! on: September 19, 2023, 08:32:18 AM
I bought an amount of BTC from a stranger and made my payment in cash! I checked to see if the BTC was available and if they were, after a day they just disappeared. Does somebody know anything about this? What happened? What is this situation called or something like that?
You have been scammed mate, never deal with strangers because even people that you know can scam you talk more of a stranger that you don't know where to get him. Next time buy bitcoin from an exchange and use p2p method. There is nothing one can do to help your situation, this is a hard lesson for you. Always make sure that the transaction is confirmed before send the funds.

It was during the days of our parents that Nigeria do provide job for her citizen because the country hasn't been eaten up by corruption. These current time na you go find job for Naija o, or else you go leave in abject poverty. Na all these internet skill work na them sure pass as people wey don dey expose to the internet, because na there money dey to fit use meet up with the high rate of inflation wey det our country. Government don fail for there side to take care of their citizens in so many aspects, like job creation provision of unlimited power supply, we for fit help small scale business to grow. This na because of the self-centered people wey our leaders them be, them only care about themselves and their family. But government no know say them dey open our eye the more so that we go look for an alternative to the earn our daily bread, which be the online job. I believe say time dey come wey youths go understand say depending on government na waste of time.

Napoli was able to draw in the end and it finished 2-2. Genoa wasnt able to hold on even with a huge lead and its a huge shame that they werent able to hold the lead. Napoli saved themselfs and in the end got a huge point. Last season this would be an easy win but this season nothing comes easy to Napoli.
This is very serious for Napoli, it shows that the team is in a deep crisis if they draw with a weak team like Genoa. Changing coach at this point has proven to be a truly wrong and unfortunate choice. I don`t know how they can fix the situation, now it becomes complicated to manage the problem.
The change of coach might be what is affecting Napoli's performance, but I will applaud them on their last match against Genoa. It was a good performance because I saw the spirit of fighting against defeat in them, they equalise two goals to keep them on track in the competition by drawing the match. I think this season would't be easy for Napoli to win the league because Inter is in their super form and Inzaghi is ready to defeat any club that comes their way.

Bitcoin is out of ban for banks from using it, and not for people who love to use or own it. The government knows that if they restrict banks from bitcoin, it will slow the adoption of bitcoin and it will also discourage the citizens to adopt bitcoin, especially the people that don't have the knowledge of bitcoin that it is decentralized and can't be tracked ny government who the owner is if you are using a ceentralized exchange. If bitcoin is ban and not restricted in your country and you are breaking the law, if you get caught, you will pay the price for the offense. In my country, bitcoin is only restricted from banks but not from citizens and the rate of adoption is increasing.

The only challenge that someone using DCA method is when the source of income is not steady
This was my thinking too and I even made a comment referencing an entrepreneur.  Thankfully, JJG explained convincingly, how this can be achieved. From that explanation, you can actually know your financial inflow within a certain period like a year, from that you can know what to set aside and plan your DCA accordingly.  You must not be earning fixed income monthly or weakly before you can perform DCA, even when your inflow is not regular, you can take average with a time period and as soon as you have any bulk funds, you can start off with the part that fits into the average you have worked out already and because it is exhausted,  you would have receieved another inflow base on your calculations.

I like to think about the non-steady income in a couple of parts.

The first part is just figuring out what is your worst-case scenarios, what are your best case scenarios and what is your average... So then with that information you can try to project ahead, and most likely mostly using some combination of the worst-case scenarios and the average in order to figure out how much money you need to keep in your emergency fund in order to cover those situations in which the worst-case scenarios ended up playing out rather than the average case scenarios.

So, even though not necessarily likely worst-case scenarios could end up playing out for 6-12 months or more, and so the emergency cash fund should be able to cover the gap between what you need to live and what kind of income is coming in.  Hopefully, you are already spending (your monthly expenses) somewhere less than your average case scenario which should then cause for an ability to invest (or DCA) with part of the amount that you are living below your average case scenario. and sure if the worse case scenario persists for a long time, you may well end up needing to either reduce or eliminate your DCA purchases of bitcoin, but if you have planned in advance you should not necessarily need to stop your DCA, and for sure, you do not want to end up putting yourself in a position in which you end up having to sell any of your BTC during periods in which worse case scenarios are playing out.. which likely would mean that you had not sufficiently prepared in terms of your emergency fund and/or the ways that you had been choosing to live in order to make sure that you are generally living below the amount of your average case scenarios rather than spending more than that.
JJG, I know that you are an old G bitcoin holder with so much experience and different strategy on how to accumulate bitcoin. I also agree to what you said on how someone that isn't having a steady cash inflow can use his average cash inflow for the year to plan on how much he will use on DCAing or to always have an amount that will be left based on always planning and keeping funds for worst scenario than average case scenario. I wouldn't like to such happen in my own bitcoin journey accumulation, the reason is that I have just started my bitcoin journey and I haven't accumulate a significant amount which I can be proud of. Not having regular cash inflow will be a big challenge to me because it will slow the amount of bitcoin I will accumulate, and I am not even sure of accumulate, unlike the regular cash inflow pattern. This is because you might prepare and plan very well on this, but along the line, it might come to play that your worst scenario expectation came out to be  more than what you have planned for, because there are unforeseen challenges that will come to play during this period, which you didn't plan for that must be included because of it is an emergency.

I will use myself as a case study, I plan on how much I spend weekly and let me say if I budgeted $200, I will end up spending up $250 and sometimes $300, but because I have a steady cash inflow I don't feel it. I could remember when I have not gotten job that was frequently paying me, I find it difficult to manage the one that I have worked to use till when another funds comes in, because of this unforeseen circumstances that do occur. I am happy JJG, that you said if you did not make a proper calculation so that your worst case scenario funds should be higher, one might end up falling back to sell his bitcoin due to lack of proper preparation. I am not good at managing a certain amount of funds for some time before another funds comes in because, nobody knows what will happen next, this is why I feel that regular income will help in DCAing better for me. Although, everyone has their own strategy of DCA base on the way they get their income.

Napoli have been really bad for two weeks. After losing to Lazio home this time they got a draw with Genoa by 2-2. They could have even lost the game I mean as Genoa got 2-0 ahead first. Osimhen couldn't make any impact on this game and this was also one of the factors of course.

Napoli need to improve their team performance. Their next game is going to be an away one against Bologna. I will be expecting Napoli to get a win finally. They really need this to boost their morale. I'm curious about their Champions League performance as well. Their group isn't a very challenging one to qualify from.
Osimhen tried his best in that match but he was very unlucky that he couldn't score any goal even though he had some few chances of scoring. Napoli hasn't won their two last matches as they have only gotten one point from the two matches, this has brought them down in the table, but I hope that they will be able to win Bologna in their next match. From my own view,  Napoli tried yesterday as they were able to equalise two goals down in the second half which shows great performance. It was better for a draw than a loss. Really the coach needs to improve the team performance for greater challenges ahead of them.
988  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: September 17, 2023, 11:10:49 PM
After Benzema left, everyone expected Real Madrid to sign Mbappe or Osimhen, but Real Madrid chose to wait until Mbappe's contract expired. It's very strange that they are looking at it from an economic point of view. Even Real Madrid are acting with financial balances in mind. This club is Los Galacticos. This season they will play without their target striker. Maybe they can win some games in La Liga, but I don't think they can reach the final of the Champions League or be as good as before.
As for Mbappe personally, I have a strong opinion that neither Mbappe nor Real Madrid know about the future relationship of a labor nature. If Real Madrid were going to sign Mbappe as a free agent for next year, then maybe the club has miscalculated a lot, because now most likely everything is going to the fact that Mbappe will extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain with clear guarantees that PSG will not interfere with the transfer of a football player for next year. Another question, knowing the background, I think no one will be surprised if Mbappe stays at PSG at all next year or moves to another top club that will offer better financial conditions than Real Madrid. As for Osimhen, it was clear in advance that Napoli would do everything in its power so that the player would not leave immediately after the victory, and Real Madrid would not offer the amount that Aurelio de Laurentiis would not be able to refuse. So now Ancelotti has to be wise with tactical schemes and I must say that it turns out to be quite good so far. Another question is whether this is enough for the Champions League.
Certainly Real Madrid will be quite ready with its existing strengths for the Champions League this season. You will have to look at the group that Real Madrid is in, where Real Madrid can easily overcome their opponents. Real Madrid, Napoli, Braga and Union Berlin are the 4 teams in Group C. Real Madrid, who are quite strong this season, will no longer doubt their strength in the Champions League because they are kings in the Champions League. Now discussing Mbappe, he is very interested in Real Madrid because he strongly rejected the contract extension proposed by PSG management in the last summer transfer window. We're just waiting for time until Mbappe finally officially joins Real Madrid after his contract ends with PSG.
Yea, Real Madrid would have no difficulties in the group stage because they are the strongest club in that group and I believe that they will win all their matches in the group stage. We see how brilliantly they are performing even without their top strikers. They have won all their matches so far this season. As for Mbappe, if really that he turned down the contract, this will be a big hope for Real Madrid because hw will definitely come to the club this season when the transfer window is open or next season. Mbappe deserves waiting for by Real Madrid, I just hope that things don't get complicated for the youngster.
989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 17, 2023, 11:02:03 PM
It wasn't an easy win for Arsenal despite being in control especially in the second half. But getting three points was the important point of course. Trossard hasn't been scoring a goal in Premier League games for a very long time. But today he scored the winning goal and finally finished this bad streak for himself.

Things are going well for Arsenal in the league. But they might need to improve their performance a little more in the long term. This is important for especially big games. Their next game is against Tottenham in Emirates so I really wonder how this game will end.

It definitely wasn’t an easy game for Arsenal as Everton seemed determined to hold them to a draw or try to get a win themselves. Unfortunately, Arsenal persisted and got a goal in the second half of the game that ultimately gave them the win at the end of the game.
Everton did put up a good fight as their defense tried in thwarting Arsenals constant attacks that I had actually thought for a second that the game might end up being a goalless draw. That thought quickly left as Arsenal scored. I had thought more goals would follow but Arsenal couldn’t follow up with another one till the game ended.
I must say that Arsenal are very lucky to win Everton in today's match at Goodson park, because if you see how determined Everton were to make sure that the match ends in a draw but Arsenal never wanted to settle down for a draw and they were able to score just one goal, which was the only goal in the match to gain all three points. Arsenal needs to improve in their game so that matches wouldn't be that difficult for them to win.
990  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Knowledge vs hodlings on: September 17, 2023, 10:29:02 PM
OP, are you trying to ask which one is better between having the knowledge of bitcoin alone and holding bitcoin. I will choose to hold bitcoin first because it is easy to buy bitcoin when you have the money and transfer it to your noncustodial wallet without a problem and since it is just holding of bitcoin. After that you can start learning his to keep your wallet safe from hackers. On the other hand, both of them is very important, which is having the knowledge of bitcoin and also to hodli bitcoin. This is because you will be able to be patient with your investment in the long run, and you will be able to monitor your investment, so that you can know when to buy and when to sell.
991  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin kwoledge is not complete without bitcoin investment on: September 17, 2023, 10:08:42 PM
Some people will certainly think that it's useless to attain bitcoin knowledge if you don't have the plan to invest in it after. However, if you don't limit your thinking, you can influence other people through your high knowledge with bitcoin. As long as what you tell them are the facts about bitcoin, and they eventually believe on it, you could be the key to their life's success in the near future.
I agree with you that the knowledge is important and isn't a must for you to have bitcoin, but come to think of it, having bitcoin gives you more insight about bitcoin and more opportunity of making profit and making people to believe in bitcoin because they will see what you have benefited through bitcoin. Knowledge is power but experience superceeds knowledge, when knowledge is not put into practice. Having money to invest is easy if you are ready to invest. Some people have the knowledge but they don't want to invest because they think that they will run at loss because the don't believe in it. It is another thing to have the knowledge, and it is also another thing to believe in it.
992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you manage your money on gambling sites. on: September 17, 2023, 09:53:49 PM
Actually, it is not everyone that have the knowledge about the risk involved when keeping money in a centralized platform online, most people think that it is the beat and nothing will happen to their funds, believing that it is safe with the platform. I don't keep my funds in any centralized platform, I only fund my gambling wallet whenever I want to gamble or sometimes, I fund it for the week gambling activities. On the other hand, this group are doing this for you that want their subscription to know that you shouldn't feel that they want to scam you even though, it is true that they want to scam you.

Real Madrid is playing like a shitty team from Secunda Liga and they are 0-1 so far only because of their goalkeeper otherwise they would have been down 0-3.If they don't change anything in the second half this game will end in a lost one for Real Madrid,their coach Ancelotti is changing a lot of things by making Rodrigo their main attacker play one time from the left,one time in the center and one time in the right yet without yielding any result so far.Most probably Ancelotti should be greatly regretting those words about Mbappe that Real Madrid does not need another attacker,things are looking completely different now,they need one like Mbappe as soon as possible.
Real Madrid has broken the deadlock in the match on the first minute of the second half with a powerful shot from Valvarde  to equalise the goal. One thing that I have observe in Real Madrid this season is that they always allow their opponent to score first before them, and they do all their welcome back in the second half, we saw this in their last match, and I also think this is how this match will also end. They are dominating the second half after recovering from the game. Real Sociedad are on pressure.
Goal ball Joselu has scored with a header on the 60th minutes to put Real Madrid on the lead, what a perfect timing and a perfect goal.
Real Madrid 2-1 Real Sociedad

3-0 after the 1st half for Roma.

Empoli is very weak team, he will be for sure in Serie B at the end of the season.

Dybala has scored the another goal on the 55th minutes, to make it four goals for Roma. He started the first half with a goal and has started the second half with another goal. This match will bring light back to face of Roma's fans. Dybala is really destroying Empoli defense and he is having a great time desperately looking for more goals. It is a mess that Empoli is this weak and can't do anything to stop Roma from scoring more goals. The goal scoring have just begun for Roma because I believe that we will see more goals before the match comes to an end.
995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: September 17, 2023, 07:50:11 PM
Bellingham is the man to look out for in Madrid squad because he has been a potential star man in the shoes Benzema left empty to fill. The Madrid squad should not bother about losing, but a win with slight goal margin possibly of above 1.5, and perhaps a draw is expected, I must say it will be highly unlikely too.
A slip in today's game on the part of Madrid might see Barca come close to taking the lead in subsequent matches and it is clear how difficult Xavi would make it be for Ancelotti to try to recover the top spot once lost.

I was monitoring this match because Madrid conceded first I'm sure Madrid will equalize the score, it's just not certain whether in the first half or in the second half
But I hope there are no more goals in the first half so that the odds will increase in the second half if we place a bet now the odds are 1.55 not interesting enough
One more interesting thing is if Madrid concedes first then there will usually be a lot of corner kicks especially if playing at home 7-8 is usually easy.
Real Madrid wouldn't give up on Real Sciedad as they are trying their best to equalise the goal but it hasn't been easy for them, because Real Sociedad don't want to give them that chance. The game is still open and I believe that Real Madrid will play better in the second half, as Bellingham will always save the day as usual. I want to see the changes that Ancelotti will make in the second  half, as it might bring a turn around for them. It is an interesting match and isn't an easy one for Real Madrid.

OP, you have said the answer to your question already. Newbie should only invest and hodli bitcoin for the main time, and he he has understood the technical analysis and fundamental analysis with risk management, that person can decide to start trading, because trading is very risky and it is similar to gambling. Trading no easy as we dey think say e be and if you no know anything inside you go troway your finds. Investment na the best and another good way to make profit from am, if you use better money invest and wait till the price of bitcoin reach bull market, it is an easy practise, when you only invest with money wey you no go need to use do inportant things.

even the so called experts experience loss all the time.
I no go accept this one wey you talk bros, because no expert trader go trade dey make loss all the time go say him na expert, and he go run leave the business, because nothing come out but loss. Expert traders also make loss but they make more profit than loss due to their knowledge of understanding the market.

The truth be say lack of job, don make youths dey look for any means to survive without any qualification. Most gamblers wey think say gambling na investment for them mostly, na the only hope wey them go fit use hamma. Wetin I see be say, everybody won hamma, but them no know how to go about am, especially the ones wey no won involve their hands for bad thing. This na e make you see say many youths dey into gambling, but them forget say you can't win the house hedge and many of them don already become addicts wey make, e hard to counsel them and make them listen. I no see gambling as any investment rather I see am as a means of entertainment and if you know understand this, then gambling go be a means of wasting your funds.
999  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Mohbad death! on: September 17, 2023, 05:50:03 PM
What do you think about the whole story behind the death of our popular singer, mohbad? I feel with the numerous videos coming up lately, dude really went through a whole lot of physical and emotional trauma before his demise.
See eh the whole entertainment industry is messed up both local and global. It is filled with a bunch of cliques, cults and many other evil things. Sorry to digress but what is happening with Mohbad is what what happened with Michael Jackson. Even though I am not a fan of Kanye, we heard him give up a glimpse of it when a video of  him pissing in one of his awards surfaced online. Once you get into the entertainment industry and join their cult, they make you famous and bring you the awards money, fame, women, that you can ever want. It is like selling your soul to the devil. And coming out is almost impossible. That's what I feel happened to the young man.


Quote
In a country were proper investigation Is taken seriously, the root course of his death should have started coming out by now, but you know this is Nigeria, everything just comes and goes away with time. It's a shame.
These people own the police. No matter the evidence the public digs up, the Nigerian police will do nada.

Boss, I like this your reasoning, the global music industry is a bunch of cult groups evil doers. As @Brainboss talk say him label manager, friends, girlfriend dey after him life, na true. If these top music people don give you wetin you want, which be firm, money and things of the world, you have to pay back your own side of the agreement and when you fail, no dull am, na your bone man wey dey very close to you, and na part of them, na him them go send for you. Mohbad has already seen his death coming but what surprised him was that it was his close people that were coming after him and I believe say them go don take oat wey be say if him talk na instantly there him go die. Musicians and Ritualist and yahoo boiz no difference. All these people have already sell their soul to the devil. Our police na them be the worst mugu wey everybody fit use money shut their mouth up.

OP, since you are talking about emotions in investment, this is a normal thing, and this is the reason why you must have a concrete knowledge on what you want to invest in so that this can help you control your emotion. When it comes to bitcoin investment, if you invest in a long term, this will help you control your emotion if bitcoin price is dumping or pumping because you are already prepared for it. Because you are not expecting profit so soon. If you invest in a short term this is when you will be worried about any slight change in the price because you are allowing the price to have effect on your emotion and before you know it, if bitcoin price goes lower than the price that you bought it, you might panic and sell due to FOMO. That is why the forum will advise to only use money that you can afford to lose when you want to invest.
