Depending on what your relationship is with the person you intend to buy the Bitcoin from. Because for me, if I have a friend who sells Bitcoin and has a good rate equal to that of p2p exchange, I wouldn't mind sending him the Bitcoin from my Non custodial wallet. But if the coin I intend to sell is on an exchange wallet and the person isn't using the same exchange to send through internal transaction, then I could use it's p2p features. But if the person is a total random user, it's best advisable you don't trade with them, because you wouldn't know if the coin was stolen or not, most especially if they claim to sell at cheap rate. That's a complete red flag.

Yes, thou El Salvador uses Thermal energy for it's Bitcoin mining, US on the other hand uses Natural Gas, Wind and Nuclear energy to power it's mining industries, which has been quite efficient over the years. However, US shares over 40% of the global Bitcoin hashrate, unlike El Salvador with it's micro mining industries which shares just 0.1% of the Global Bitcoin hashrate. Hence, US still remains the king when it comes to Bitcoin mining.

Yes, The US government auctions their Bitcoins, simply because majority of the Bitcoin they own were all seized from criminals, unlike El Salvador who bought all their coins from the market by themselves, for the purpose of investing it long term. So you actually can't compare El Salvador to Bitcoin in any way, because on the contrary, US currently holds over 205,515 BTC, while El Salvador owns just 5,748 BTC,

To be frankly speaking, people will always postulate theories why A or B isn't functional or generally accepted, according to their research and findings. Because as of today September 2025, it will be awkward to say that people are finding it hard to understand about Bitcoin. Because that doesn't sound logical at all, considering the fact that in a day, over 200,000 Bitcoin transactions are been carried out daily. And secondly, I just made a research and found out that the current World population of the total number of people that owns Bitcoin is 1.2% (i.e 106million people), far higher that the total world population of people that owns gold in the world, which is lesser than 1%, as it can be seen in the image below.

Hence, it's funny when I still hear people say Bitcoin is hard to understand, when we already have over 106 million people who uses it daily for transaction

         

Yes, you actually spoke well regarding your view about O.P's concern about free deposit bonus, because to be frankly speaking, for the fact that you gets offered a free deposit bonus, doesn't always guaranteed success. But rather, that is initiated in other to keep gambler active on the casino, while trying their luck, which will always stand a 50/50% chance to win or lose when gambling with it.


The truth of the fact is that casino operators know that meeting a requirement of 30x of it's bonus offer is not always easy, and as such choose to use that as their benchmark, in other to have majority of the people it's bonus was given, lose it back to the casino. Because it is actually a business and not a charity organization, to reduce it's requirements to what the majority of people could meet, win and withdraw their money. Hence, it's always advisable to always activate deposit bonus, only when you know you are willing to strive into achieving it's needed requirements.

It's just 20 minutes into the game, and I must say both clubs have actually had tough time due to the current rain falling on the pitch. However, I could see that the goalkeeper of Chelsea "Robert Sánchez" has been issued red card at the very start of the game (i.e 5minutes) for commiting a rough foul against "Bryan Mbeumo", which is actually inappropriate, considering the fact the game just began, and as such, Manchester United has just taken advantage of it and scored their first goal by  Fernandez at 7 minutes into the game, whereas Casemira has just been issued a yellow card for rough play. And as such, considering the removal of Robert Sánchez, Chelsea is likely to receive more goals before the end of this match.

To be frankly speaking, for me personally, I wouldn't say gambling played a major role for my introduction and adoption of Bitcoin to be precise as one of my most used digital currency, because when I first got introduce about Bitcoin far back in 2019/2020, I never knew we had sites like "Satoshidice", where people  could played and were opportuned to win a few fractions of Bitcoin, which actually made those early gamblers have their first share of Bitcoin. But what actually drew me to Bitcoin was actually a quest to searching an alternative means where I could save my investment in a long term, and it won't lose it's value.

First of all, what type of oil do you want to venture into? Is it crude oil, palm oil or vegetable oil? Which of them precisely. Because if it is a Crude oil factory, which is also known as Refinery, you will be needing over $10billion dollars to kick start such business, unlike the rest two that you can confidently start with $10,000 thousand dollars and above, depending on your size. And moreover, when it comes to the investing in Bitcoin and physical trading, I can boldly say both has it's advantage and disadvantages, as Bitcoin is best as an asset for long term, whereas physical trading is best for short term investments.

It's nice that Apple just officially came up with a solution to fix the flaw that was resulting to the compromise of it's previous versions, but however, that shouldn't be a reason for Bitcoin investors to not be alert at always. Because to me, that might be a marketing strategy from Apple in other to lure people into buying this it's latest Version iPhone 17, because to be frankly speaking, it might not be even any more better than the previous, but just the same, and as such. It's advisable people prioritize the usual security measures of avoiding any unknown sites, suspicious links and use a secure non custodial wallet.

To be frankly speaking, for the fact that people invest an amount they can conveniently afford to lose, doesn't mean they place little or no value to that very Bitcoin investment. Because judging by how volatile the price value of Bitcoin is, that was the exact reason why people came up with that phrase for people not to invest all their money in Bitcoin, when they aren't ready or willing to lose a percentage of that exact amount, due to it's volatile nature. Example, assume a scenario whereby you were given a Church tithe worth $1000, to hold, and you went further to invest it in Bitcoin, and only the market depreciate and the value of the money reduced to $700 due to it's market volatility. And the church comes asking for their $1000?... What will you do???... Because that's a perfect example why you shouldn't invest all the money you have, but rather a percentage of what you can always afford to lose.

Today, actually marks one month and 2 days since the O.P of this thread was last active on this forum. And before then, we could all see what the contexts of this thread says, where he was complaining about having his eyes paining him whenever he plays Slot games. Of which many suggested he seeks medical attention for a test and possibly getting an eye glass. So I will like to ask O.P directly whenever he comes online. Have you been able to resolve the issue about the eye pain? Because, I will be glad to know that you are okay. eye




Not just only slot games, but too much of screen time is actually not good for the eyes, as you stand a chance of having an eye-sight issue. And secondly, we don't even know O.Ps age, if he Is either an old man or young man. Hence, for the fact that you haven't had issues playing slot games, it doesn't mean others aren't.

Since disposable income is actually the amount a user  gets paid or earned, after every other taxes, and compulsory deductions might have been deducted. And then the user goes about spending spending just only 1% for gambling for that month or year. For me, I will say that is quite an average amount to be spent while gambling. Because we have some gamblers who spend close to 5% to 10% of their income on gambling, taking higher risk while targeting high return of investment too. Example; Assume a user earns $1000 monthly as salary, and 1% will equally be approximately $10, which is still an average amount, even if he spends 5% on gambling too..

And that's what is been called "Social Media Influencing", and likewise, the major reasons why casino owners always hires big influencers to promote their casinos/product to their large loyal audience, simply because they know that if such casino gets promoted by their favorite celebrity, it's likewise to get convertion (i.e sales or downloads).  Whereas, when it comes to the question you just asked above, regarding if are gamblers easily influenced by social media, then, my sincere answer will be Yes, but it varies in mind from one individual to another. As some might be influenced positively and likewise others influence negatively, which is why as gamblers, it's always important as individuals and gamblers, we develop a sense of self discipline,

Yes, it true that the more newly launch casinos we have,
as time goes on, the more people are likely to be aquinted to it and the number of gamblers increased over time, which is exactly what happened between these few years ago within the United States, and likewise same everywhere. Because even in my country,  today we have more gamblers than last year, because just as the economy keeps getting worse, whereby people not having jobs or the ability to carter for their basic needs, gambling always tend to be the last hope, as they play, hoping to get lucky someday, which sometimes don't usually happens, because gambling is a game of luck.  

And in summary, that's what we call blind investing, of which as an individual who might have worked hard for his money, investing unwisely is the last option you should ever want to do, since you stand a higher chance of losing your capital. And as such, a more reason why it's always necessary and advisable people do their own research about any product or services they wish to venture into or invest their money.  


Yes, it's true that the majority of an average person thinks more about what people will say, rather than their self gratification, which is most important. Because the fact that an individual is investing, it's not a must to also join and invest if you don't have the basic knowledge about what you are investing or investing an amount you can always afford to lose.

Always try to read rules before joining any contest @ O.P, because your account was created 8days after the Fruit contest was published on this forum, which automatically disqualifies you. And secondly, you are just a newbie, whereas the rules of the contest specifies that only members from the rank "Jr Member" and above are qualified to take part in the contest. Hence, I will advise to just remove your mind for that contest, because eh don already pass you, and focus on building your account so that you fit apply for the ones to come in the future.

When it comes to learning about Bitcoin, both about it's security, mining, storage and everything in general, this forum is actually the best place to learn about it. And when it comes to the question you just asked above about preventive measures or resources to read to help you avoid future scams, I will be very sincerely frank to you, that the commonest ways to avoiding scams is by avoiding any investments anybody introduces to you whereby it's profit looks too good to be good. While secondly, another way to avoid scams or hack is by avoiding clicking any link from an unknown users. Allow buying or investing in Shit coins, because they are very volatile and risky. Hence, Bitcoin remains the best asset to invest into for long term.

The truth of the fact is that, one of the major factor that contributes to gambling addiction is the availability of the gambler to play at all times. And as such, when such individual deprives his or herself from gambling over a certain period of time, and have a change of mentality, knowing fully well that In gambling, winning is never guaranteed and as such, only best to gamble what he/she can always afford to lose, and not seeing gambling as his medium to financial freedom. Only then can that gambler recover fully from gambling. Because to be a responsible gambler, one has to be mentally, psychologically and financially okay, to know that gambling is just a game of luck. Hence, should be approach with the willingness to take risk.

Yes, you actually spoke well regarding your view about Bank roll management, as it should be treated as an act where a gambler gambles what he/she can always afford to lose. Because looking at this issue categorically, a strategy can be anything a gambler applies while gambling to enable him/her have a successful play, and just as a few can adopt bankroll management, as a medium to manage how much been spent on gambling during a particular time frame, some might choose to gamble on only already winning team on "Live Sport Games".

It's 30 minutes already into the game, and obvious Bayern Munich is actually playing quite an impressive game tonight against Chelsea, because despite the fact that you claim Chelsea has the capacity of winning this game, it's sad to inform you that in less than mere just 27 minutes, Bayern Munich is already taking the lead of tonights game with clear goal goals to nil. Of which first goal was Chalobah at 20 minutes into the game, and second by "Kane" at 27 minutes, which was actually a penalty kick. And Bayern still holds the most ball possession and shots on target, which will equally be a touch time for Chelsea in this game.  

Annd in addition to the list you made mention above, about the Crypto glance in Nigeria, I think you actually skipped some important parts, which actually has to do with the year crypto was banned in Nigeria by CBN, instructing banks to block all accounts traced to be related with crypto. Which was actually a big scary moment among members of the Nigerian crypto community, and also when the ban was uplifted. Because in 2021, after the Federal Government got to know how Nigerians were able to transact over 1.5 billion dollars in crypto during the entire year 2020, they got interested and wanted to imposed a tax, and since crypto exchange weren't satisfied with our Government's tax rate, they declined, which led to the Federal Government imposing a ban back then in February 2021. And was later fully uplifted last year 2024.
