Should people have an alternative way of being rewarded with merits besides posting? I looked through your profile and I see you talk alot about the Merit system. Well the system isn't perfect but it has achieved one aim and that's reducing the rate at which spammers are ranking up their alts and abusing the forum. There's a reason why we have different merits sources and that's to make the system more decentralized that everybody have their different criteria of awarding merits although all has a guide of only rewarding quality posts. But the quantity is dependent on the quantity you have and how you review the posts. We all view quality differently and that can be because of how we interpret the message we just read. Meriting though shouldn't be bade on quantity but quality although when there's quality and still quantity then that deserves more merits (in my opinion).

I know very well that most persons have the knowledge of bitcoin and have even started investing in Bitcoin before joining the forum. But for the period have been here, I notice that most of the old members here always think newbies are new to bitcoin. When newbies post things about bitcoin, most old members tend to have negative quote about it, as if newbies are not qualified to talk about bitcoin.
I don't think the older members think all newbies aren't familiar with the industry but a majority of them actually don't have a clue of what they're saying. It's quite obvious in how they view the industry and that's why the OGs try to correct them before they start spreading false information across the forum to others. The things the newbies are posting is showing that they're newbies so they shouldn't be angry when they get corrected. Read the discussion between newbies and that of legendary members and you'll see the difference. It isn't just about hearing about Bitcoin but do they understand what Bitcoin is all about and how to navigate the market. Make e no suprise you say some people still dey think say this is just a pump and dump market.

On the other hand, procrastination can be just as risky. If you keep waiting for the perfect salary or the perfect dip, you might end up never starting at all. Setting aside even a little on a regular basis helps in two way,it slowly builds a safety cushion and at the same time grows your Bitcoin stack. It may feel small at first, but over time the habit takes root, income tends to increase, and stacking becomes easier without the constant pressure to sell early. This also builts your habbit of becoming a go getter instead of a procrastinator. If you keep saying you're going to invest but waiting for the perfect condition to enter the market, you won't invest. Start with whatever you have and slowly build your portfolio the more you got more spare cash. Investing isn't supposed to be instantly because there's always going to be better opportunities to enter the market so start with what you got. If you also have the financial capacity to buy at once don't hesitate to do it but be ready to hodl for long and not investing then expecting returns in just few weeks of hodling.

Is few people that can state categorically why they gambles, but some people that pretend a lot will say that the reason they gamble is because they wants to entertain themselves and some people will say they're catching cruise with gambling and that's why they gamble, why they will leave the major thing that makes them to gamble Anyone lying to themselves the reason why they're gambling isn't doing any good to themselves because they're still going to be the ones to bare the consequences of their actions. We should always tell ourselves the truth at all times so that when there are repercussions of our actions we know where they're coming from. A little bit of everything isn't bad but we just have to make sure it's under control and we aren't abusing it. Gambling for fun should be the Idea reason for gambling but when we do it at time for money, it isn't all bad but we shouldn't get obsessed with it that we neglect the bad symptoms we're getting and getting carried away.

The sports industry does not only consist of athletes and managers. There are also the reporters or journalists. They are the ones who go to watch live sports and report trackside or from the studio. They follow the season and the athletes. They are the ones who build a narrative and share it to the public. It got me thinking whether they do sports betting or not and uses whatever inside information they have. Or do they spread something just to bet something different? If you were a sports journalist, would you enjoy betting on the sports you report on?
Sport journalist they do sports betting too but they won't do it openly when they have insider information. There are different types of bet and those involving the outcome of the game, they're free to bet on those and won't be accused of inside betting but when it has to do with players fitness for the game like those types of bet that involves if a player is going to play or not, I don't think they'll be allowed to bet in those and if they get caught, they'll get fined. Personally I don't think we should deny people form gambling but when they have a fair advantage than others then they shouldn't be gambling for that very sport.

For fucks sake!
I had left the captaincy on him and now this happens.
Nah don't be scared, he's starting, I also have my captaincy on him. We don't have another striker. Maybe if Delap was fit that's when his minutes will be in question. Maresca won't want to risk getting him injured though so probably he won't play all 90mins but the minutes he'll be on the pitch, he should be able to get us some points. There's no news up till now of him not being available for the game so we're in good hands. I've had Watkins and Mateta from game week fucking one and it's still nothing to to write home about especially from Watkins, zero offensive points in four games, I doubt I'll leave him for one week more, I'm done with giving him extra chances. Watkins (Aston villa) have Sunderland, Burnley and Fulham to play next so I'm not giving up on him yet. He's going to pick form and when he does managers that sold him will regret. I have Joa Pedro and Gyökeres in my team so they should be covering for him until he picks from.

Chelsea away at Brentford, you would expect them to win as Brentford have been pulled apart all summer. They lost their manager and a few of their best players to bigger clubs.
While we should be winning this, we have been found of drawing with this guys and again Cole Palmer isn't going to be playing. We should win this but I don't think we're going to get an easy game. The only good news for we is that Brentford hasn't been in form of recent so they shouldn't be causing us any much problems. Brentford has lost 2 of their last 3 games so Chelsea shouldn't have a problem winning. Brentford has also conceded 5 goals and Chelsea aren't shy from scoring so we should be expecting them to get a good number of goals in this game. Our defence is also good at the moment but not at it's best but if we can keep the Brentford attack off scoring then winning shouldn't be a problem.

I don't think there is any need to try to blame South Africa for their poor pitch whether they did it intentionally or not because if we had won our first 7 games or at least won 5, we would've in a better position such that whatever gets thrown at us in South Africa (bad pitch, bad officiating, etc), we would still come out strong. This pointing of fingers won't do any good. The problem right now is that even as we have top stars, we can't compete at the international stage—good pitch or not and that's worrisome.
You said it all. Why didn't we win our matches when we had the opportunity to top the group. I still think Nigeria needs a home based coach and not all those foreign coaches. We need to teach our players to respect home based coach and that's when we can achieve something with this team. Nobody is going to understand the players and what the qualifications means to us then ourselves. I'm just angry because this is a disgrace. Are we all hearing what the South African coach is saying, that the super egales has no Nigerian playing in the team and he isn't far firm the truth,. We put our trust in players playing abroad yet they can't deliver anything for us. Victor Osimhen own is to be getting injured every time when he knows he's our only trusted striker. The scouting team need to look wetin the Nigerian local league and bring players that'll be willing to play for the country.

If someone had told you during 2015 that Bitcoin will exceed over $100k one day and you should invest in it as at then. Would you have believed?
I won't because then the price was barely that high. I think it was around then that Bitcoin just crossed $1k so it hasn't even gotten to $10k so how would $100k be making sense to us. Na this same thing we go talk when we see Bitcoin reach $1M. Within me dey do now be say. I no dey wan believe within Bitcoin go fit do abi wetin e no go fit do because every price now dey possible. Na just the duration of waiting na him matter because the currency no dey go anywhere. If you get money, buy Bitcoin, if you no get money, fine wey to dey accumulate in anyway that you can like either through signature campaign, or doing micro tasks because e no go make sense say we no follow among people wey dey enjoy the profits of Bitcoin tomorrow because they didn't invested today.

Lastly staying informed requires reliable information especially we that are in the Bitcoin talk forum No offense though, but we have to be very careful of the information that we bring here as discussion that seems too good to be true so we won't mislead ourselves in this our crypto space.
The good thing about the forum is that you can't post a wrong information and it stays unnoticed for a long time which is why the forum is one of the best places to get your information about the industry from. Don't trust information you see here until it has been discussed and confirmed to be true because some people don't even verify the information they're sharing on the forum. Alot of them mean no harm but they don't know that they're harming people spreading fake Information. Just because the information are posted by trusted sources doesn't make them authentic either because of the high level of hacking going on that verified channels have become victims. The industry is one that alot of things go free without being handled properly so we should always verify all the information we're digesting.

Now my question is, what really matters, unstable higher income or a stable and secured yet lower income?
Stable income can become like a prison that holds you in a cycle that you can't break out of. I would choose a high playing job that I can use my one time salary or a couple of months salary to establish something for myself that'll be giving me money and making my life comfortable when the job is no more than receiving pannies for all the works that I put in yet I can't afford basic necessities. We have lots of people receiving peanuts as salary and instead of them moving on to better jobs or getting something doing that'll improve their lifes, they're still staying faithful to that job because of the fear of not having any job if they leave. It's better we leave most times because that's when our breakthrough might come but staying will just be killing our confidence and we living from hand to mouth without anything to show for it.

Could this be the real possibility of life? Or we are just blinded by fantasies in life? Or is it because working alone is never sufficient enough to make riches in life, but we need various investments to achieve success and get wealthy in the long run? Life isn't what it used to be when the little you do can be rewarded because the industry wasn't as saturated as it is currently. Right now, you can be the best worker and still not receive the best pay because the world has evolved from what we used to know to being more complex. To become wealthy, you don't need only income, you need other sources of getting money like from things as passive income to Investments income (capital gains) and other ways of earning money. Working hard isn't going to take you out of your misery as it used to do before. You need to combine multiple sources of making money if you want to become real wealthy.

Bitcoin holders rarely panic during this period, as surprising adoption still remains constant. Rarely? Really? You must be new to the market to think this way. The panic here is the same as it's when there's panic in other industries. This panic is why we have the bear market that takeout all crypto and Bitcoin itself isn't spared. The bear market isn't funny, any project that doesn't have a strong based doesn't survive it. Bitcoin falls but it'll bounce back immediately the market regains stability. Would you increase your usage during this period, knowing the bear market may just be seasonal, do you see it as an opportunity? Or would you decide to sell? You mean adding to my bag, if that's what you mean then yes. When the opportunity presents itself to get more bags, I don't hesitate to take advantage of that opportunity. After the bear, the bull will come so during this time is when we should be investing and not behaving like others are doing. The bear market is always temporary so we don't have to worry much about it.

What would be your advice for such if they were to be your friends as a caring friend who want them to not get financially drained in the process?
Some people need to make certain mistakes for them to get their life back on track. He won't see the consequences of his actions if he doesn't make that mistake and become financially broke for sometime so I won't stop them. They should go ahead although I'll be right there to help them get back on track with their life after they have learnt their mistakes. If you save him before the mistake is made, he'll go back to making the same mistakes in the future. People like to learn the hard way so we should just let things happen sometimes. If he can't see all the advice about not gambling with more than you can afford to lose then he needs to learn the harsh way.
