1  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: TRADING IS NOT GAMBLING on: Today at 01:18:13 PM

True true trading and gambling no be the same thing, na two different things wey fit wound you wetin no good, but one major thing wey I pick out from your write up is that luck fit shine on you in gambling, but in trading, if you no know anything about am, you don enter one chance because luck no dy work for trading,[/b] you earn base on wetin you know, and how  good you can control your emotions, but as for me, I see two of them as a dangerous game, especially trading because him dy even more brutal than gambling.
The emotional trauma wey come with trading is second to none, that time wey you no dy trade, you go feel like say na that Times you for make enough money, but once you enter wrongly, ur eye go clear, because the market go humble you sharp sharp.

This one way you talk for here na the koko dem, the reason why trading dey very different from gambling na because of this luck I don see person way no too sabi anything for gambling dey experience win but for trading if you no get all the information about how trading works you fit trade from now till next year na just lose you go dey see, because trading dey work with strategy and if you no know any of those strategy how you wan take make profit from trading, but for gambling nothing like strategy na luck we dey use survive for gambling. So for this reasons I think gambling need to stay on it's own Because aside from the equal risk they share I no see any relationship between trading and gambling again.

I don't agree that the amount you're saving doesn't matter; it does. Saving $10 every month for a year is just $120. Except you're saving the whole year to afford groceries or just buy food, I don't see the point in that.

I think you're getting it wrong here,op is referring to those that doesn't have a stable source of income or maybe those who are into side hustle you know thier income is not  that big compared to those who are working in a company or business owners. those who are working in a company can get enough money to pay for thier expenses and still have enough leftover which they can use to save or Invest into other business, but if you're this type that depend on side hustle sometimes the money you will make can only cover your expenses without having any leftover so if you find yourself in such situation then you will have to reduce your expenses maybe you can only choose to go for the Basic necessity to enable you have some leftover that you can put in your savings, it doesn't matter how small it is rather your consistency is what matters.
3  Economy / Economics / Re: To have kids or not to? Your opinion from economy perspective on: Today at 12:34:50 PM
That is why I think that instead of not having children for the sake of financial well-being, you should have children by questioning your own capabilities because then the motivation to earn money will work.

I agree to say that children is like a motivation to the parents because I discovered that when we don't have enough responsibility to take care of, we don't struggle much. But once you're into a relationship with kids you will want to double your hustle so as to enable you take care of the responsibility, is just like when people are being afraid to get married due to the fact that they don't have source of income, but when it happens unexpectedly they will be surprise on how they will be getting money to provide food and other Basic needs for thier family.
4  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: As a newbie, don't invest what you cannot HODL for long-term on: September 29, 2025, 09:25:39 PM
You are correct, newbie really don't understand how bitcoin works and that is why they always make some mistake which are not supposed to be made and the reason they make this mistakes is because they don't have someone that is guiding them through the journey of Bitcoin investment, just like you said some don't even understand that bitcoin investment is a long time investment so they think that bitcoin investment is something they can invest in and get their interest in few weeks, misinformation is the reason why they think so, they were misinformed about bitcoin investment.

Most of the newbies is aware that bitcoin is not for the short term, but considering how far the journey is and due to their level of interest towards bitcoin will make them start thinking about the possible way out. And sometimes they will just suggest trading bitcoin because some people feel that trading bitcoin is the fastest way to make profit from bitcoin not knowing that the risk in trading is high compared to when you're holding for Long term investment. if you're into trading definitely you will have to be monitoring the market to know when it's time, but if you're for long term investment after making your purchase you will just feel free you don't have the time to be monitoring the market except when you have reach the status of overaccumulation and maybe you want to start attempting to sell some portion of your holdings that's when you can keep an eye in the market to know when it doubles.

I have never tried it on demo because I know that there will be no change in my money due to my win or loss. Rather, I think that when I win gambling with a demo account, I will be uncomfortable. Since I will not be able to withdraw that money. There is a big difference between real gambling and gambling with demo. If someone wants to learn gambling initially, he can use demo, but those who have an idea about gambling never want to do it. In general, I wouldn't call demo account gambling is any type of gambling because there is no direct financial involvement. The results of gambling in real life and those of gambling with a demo account will never be the same.

Same here I started gambling with real cash, though a friend ask me to start with demo so i can be more enlightened about how the game works but I didn't even find it helpful since it just  stimulated and I don't like playing stimulated games, that is why I choose to focus on reality. Though Even before I started gambling i already knew most of this superior teams I was only finding it hard to Master those options but at some point I get used to it but I'm yet to know other options, but I think is not necessary for now because people don't use those options more often. Moreover the possibility for those options is very slim so I only focused in learning those regular options that we use more often.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who do you blame? on: September 29, 2025, 08:45:56 PM
the only time you can blame someone is when the person predicted it and give it to you to bet, there was a time when a friend of mine predicted a bet for me when I lost I blamed him it is always like that but if I predict and lose I don't blame anybody but my self and the reason why I always blame myself is because my instinct or something in me usually tell me the right way to go when predicting but I usually don't accept and when I lose I blame myself for not listening to my instinct.

That means you're yet to understand the concept of gambling, because had it mean you do, you wouldn't have blamed him for your misfortune. You should know that gambling is a game of luck so if he make a Prediction for you and it didn't work as expected you just have to move on and keep all the blame to yourself, what if he decided not to share the booking with you? I'm sure that you will tag him a bad friend for not sharing his booking code with you. And I want to disagree with you when you said that is always like that, I think this is my first time of hearing this Because I have been making use of my friends Predictions and sometimes I lose that's when luck is not around but when luck is around then we win together. So I usually handle everything myself without pushing it to my friends, Because I know that wining and losing is inevitable in gamble.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Live bet risky for betting companies on: September 29, 2025, 07:51:15 PM
I have bet on in-play many times and I have compared it to what is on the TV. The TV was almost 10 seconds faster than the live match on the betting site that I used for it.

I think it depends or maybe due to unstable Network, because the betting site i used is more faster than the one I watch in the TV, whenever I'm seeing a match on the TV at the same time following up on live bet if there's any thing like goal, injury, or red card they usually give a quick notice in that betting site even before it will be displayed on the TV but this doesn't take long highest 10 seconds just as you Said. Though your own betting site might work different from my, but I'm sure that majority of the betting sites work faster than the TV.

How about you guys? Did you go through the same thing when you were just starting out?
For me, it’s just part of the process, and I’m already okay with it now.

Sure, I did pas through that process I'm sure that this mostly happen when you're not being told about how gambling works before looking into it. I could remembered my first time of being into gambling, I only saw people hitting big in gambling then I thought is just as simple as that not until I decided to move in. Then I tried several times and nothing comes out, then I started feeling that maybe I'm not getting it right. So this feeling made me not to think about stopping, but after sometime I realized that I'm just going with the wrong approach so I decided to change.Those gamblers that learn from other people's experience will not pass through this process because they're already aware of these things.
9  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is HODLING also a sign that I am too scared to sell? on: September 28, 2025, 05:05:19 PM
could it be that some persons HODL because they are waiting for the perfect time or they are too scared to sell or lose a percentage of their Bitcoin?

Perfect time for what exactly? I have never seen a guy that is being scared of selling his bitcoin unless he see that he's not in profit, of course when you see that you're not in profit you will want to continue making the HODL until you get to a point where you see that you're in profit then you can decide to sell some portion of your holdings. Once you reach the status of overaccumulation and you see that you're in profit there's no point of being scared of losing some percentage of your bitcoin Because after selling some portion you will have to allow it to compound upon itself or you start accumulating more bitcoin that's if you still have the strength to do that.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does data really help us bettors, or are the bookies just always ahead? on: September 28, 2025, 04:35:21 PM
I’ve been thinking about this lately… we’ve got so much data now when it comes to sports - stats, trends, prediction sites, even some AI tools that claim they can give you an edge. But at the same time, the sportsbooks are probably using way more advanced AI and systems on their side.

Those Statistics gives an edge most times, because if not for those analysis we make before betting I'm sure that the rate of losing in gamble would have been very high. even though we have not been making steady profit in gamble I still feel that those data is really helping bettors In terms of minimizing risk and also prevent us from making unnecessary mistake.

You're right the bookmakers is more advanced, because is surprises me to see that after making consultation from different sources yet we can't even cheat the bookmakers, That is to prove to us that gambling is purely based on luck.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Sports Betting Here to Stay? on: September 28, 2025, 03:57:49 PM
  • Do you agree that sports betting has more staying power than other games?
If it's in time of making Prediction I would say that sport betting don't have more staying power than other games, I'm into sport betting and whenever I'm making Predictions I don't stay up to 30 minutes unless I decide to watch the games I played that's when I can only spend more time in the game, but  as for Casino games one can probably get trapped for like 2 to 3hours depending on the level of thier bankroll and one thing about casinos is that you will be wining and also losing at the same time and this is what triggers most players to keep trying more luck and also spending more time in the Casino. In my opinion I think casino have more staying power than sport betting.[/list]
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction without loss of money. on: September 28, 2025, 01:54:00 PM
We cannot call it gambling if there's no money involve on what we are playing since we are not trying our luck to win and hit some prizes. Its just a simulation if we don't put any real bets on those games we  are currently playing.

You're right, if we can't betting with real money it means that we are not gambling. And yeah is just like playing since you're not expecting any outcome apart from the fun you're going to get while playing the game, so any activity that don't require putting our money is not supposed to be considered as gambling. Maybe just normal play that we usually feel excited while playing it, no strange feeling attach.but in gambling you can't get excited all the time Due to the loses that always occur, Sometimes you can feel excited while the following day you feel depressed.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you very addicted to gambling?? on: September 28, 2025, 01:27:33 PM
And this is something every gambler should understand and follow, gambling is a game of luck, so it is completely foolish to be too confident here, you think you will win the next game, but you are basically on a losing streak, you will keep losing and keep gambling more in the hope of winning big in the next round, and in this way your losses will only increase. 

Some people think that casinos can easily be cheated that is why they always have confident while playing the game, even when they're in a losing streak yet they don't get convinced that gambling is just a game of luck rather they will be thinking that maybe they have not make the right Prediction. In this Sense, they will continue trying to see if they can make the right Prediction, in the process of wanting to get the right Prediction that's the More they're losing thier money to gamble and Before they will realize what they're doing by then they must have lose all thier money.
14  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: If You Die Tomorrow, Who Gets Your Bitcoin? on: September 27, 2025, 07:50:56 PM
Most Nigerians are used to passing down land, houses, or even businesses to their children as a form of inheritance. But Bitcoin has changed the way many of us save and store value. One question that doesn’t get talked about enough is this: if something happens to you tomorrow, how will your family access your Bitcoin?


Of course they will, already I have given my children the access because I know that the unknown "death" can happen at anytime which is why I have decided to share my seed phrase with them especially my oldest son, and I believe that he will keep it as a top secret. I'm sure that Alot of Investors Dead and their assets is unrealized till today, and that is because they choose to maintain privacy. Maybe they are hoping to disclose thier seed phrase when death will come to knock at thier door post before they will review thier bitcoin investment to thier loved ones not knowing that death does not have such time, Though is good to maintain privacy but not to the extent of keeping it from your wife or children because we don't know when the unknown death" will come.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Social Media influencers on: September 27, 2025, 07:13:43 PM
If you go to X you’ll see lots of sponsored videos like this, still by stake and if you check the comments you’ll then realise that a lot of gamblers don’t know what’s going on in the gambling space, because how they heck do you see someone post more than 5 images of them hitting x1,000 on plinko more than 3 times and yet you’re saying that they should give them tips on how that user managed to hit that amount.

These does not only happen in x both in facebook I have seen people posting winings frequently, most of them claims to be a tipster. And when you try to pm them they will ask you to make payment before they can release the odd, first I was thinking that this set of people is real. But then I was still having some concern because I know that is not easy to Predict the outcome talk of  wining in row, not until a Friend of mine went behind my back to purchase thier odd, after the payment was made my  guy was ignored. He texted for several times yet they didn't reply him, then I didn't know what is going on so after having this experiencing then he later told me what happened but I didn't say anything because I'm very mad at him for not informing me before making the purchase, because I know that those winings they have been posting is fake.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How easy it is to be addicted to gambling? on: September 27, 2025, 06:21:53 PM
Yes, it’s possible, but I won’t pretend like it is an easy thing to do. Gambling addiction has a way of digging deep into your habits and emotions, so fighting it alone means you are going up against your own mind every single day.
The urges don’t just disappear overnight, and that constant pull to try one more time is what makes it such a tough battle. To break out without help, you would need serious discipline, self awareness, and a willingness to cut off anything that might trigger the habit. That is why most people find it almost impossible on their own..


That's true, Moreover even if you can stop the addiction by yourself I'm sure that is going to take long before you can finally pull it out. And I think you're right when you said about wanting to try one more time, of course if you're still starting this battle there's a certain stage where you will be tempted to try one more time and if you're not disciplined enough you would definitely fall for it. and this mostly happen to those guys who are very addicted to gambling,  just like a friend of mine that got addicted to smoking but at some point he realized that smoking is not helping his system so he decided to quit but after some time he got tempted and he was not discipline enough to deal with it, so right now as we speak he has returned back to his smoking lifestyle. Had it mean someone is there to help him out I'm sure that he wouldn't have returned back to smoking.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about profit. on: September 27, 2025, 03:01:23 PM

I got confused and started thinking if really I was the cause of what happened. I want to ask how many of you here have been blamed for someone else losses.

If you were in my shoes how will you feel.

If I'm in your shoes then I will have nothing to worry about, Moreover you don't work in a loan company so why would he blame you for that. I would have say that you're the cause that's if you're into loaning, but since you're not then he's supposed to agree with you when you told him that you don't have money. Though I don't blame him for arguing with you when you told him that you don't have Money because I noticed that some  people have low understanding, even if you tell them that you don't have money they will just assume that you have the money but you don't want to give to them. I hate it when I tell people that I don't have money and they start having a doubt, But in this case I would say that you did nothing wrong, just allow him to say whatever thing he wish to say.
18  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there any possibility of saving money when handling a project? on: September 27, 2025, 02:06:32 PM
I have just been thinking how can a man save money and equally embanking on a project? This has been a serious issues among men, I am of the opinion that it is not possible building and saving money at the same time, because if you are building it becomes a priority to you all your thinking and thought should definitely be there, if you have money anywhere you can not think of saving while your building, at least one thing to another.

Everything is planning if you plan well of course you can save money while you handle your project unless you don't plan well before embarking on the journey, though you may be right when you said that is not possible to save and also make a building at the same time. But if you have a good cash flow you won't find it difficult to make savings while building your project, because you can decide either to use your monthly income for the project and then use the profit you're going to make in your business or Investment for expenses and also for savings. So therefore I think the answer is yes"  is possible to save money when handling a project that's for those that have a good Cash flow.

How can I save my seed phrase?
I have heard that many people carve their seed phrase on stone. And they use different techniques to save it. If someone else gets 2 or more of my seed phrases, will it harm me? How can I make my seed phrase more secure?

If someone get 2 or more of your seed phrase I'm sure that they're not going to harm you, come to think of it. Does it mean that you mistakenly disclose one or two of your seed phrase to people? If that's the case then i think you're still safe, that's if they didn't get the full seed phrase. And sure carving your seed phrase in stone is also a nice way of saving it because if you choose to write it somewhere like a shit of paper and if water mistakenly splash on it the whole thing will just fade away and sometimes it can even be affected by flood that's for those that live in those places that easily get flooded. Me personally I have my seed phrase written in different places to avoid one particular point of failure.
