I can testify to this because in my community here, I have seen and still observing how the least people to engage with crypto are now talking about it on a daily basis simply because of airdrop and some few pump and dump altcoins. These events are creating more awareness about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin indirectly, they have earned some reasonable cents from airdrops and some of them are now ready to participate fully in cryptocurrency. I know definitely that these pump projects or airdrop may stop some days or even fail them. Bitcoin will now be the only option left for them to turn into and begin to make investment. It's a matter of time and we are gradually getting there because if anyone can spend some few months engaging in cryptocurrency, they will certainly realize the potential of Bitcoin seeing how the whole thing is unfolding in the industry.

No social media is entirely free from scammers but Facebook is the least media I can think of this type of things happening. Telegram and Twitter is the father of all. It's very easy to identify real accounts and impersonating accounts but due to some circumstances some time we pay less attention to the profile details until the unexpected happen.

I like how the media platforms are trying their best to limit cases like this by offering account verification to prove the real ownership of the accounts. The issue is too rampant in telegram and you will hardly see account with verification badge. Although, most Telegram Admins use to indicate behind their names that they will never dm you first, I wonder how people listen to those who massaged them first pretending as if they want to help.

It has become things of past where we come online to have fun and make new friends, now it's dangerous to welcome and entertain strangers online as they are looking to take advantage of you in whatever way possible. Sadly, you can tell who's genuine and who's pretending. Countless of unopened messages in my inbox now but I don't care to open them. If I don't know you, we'll have a limited conversation.

I think most people have this same experience in their journey here at first but later adapt to the system as times goes on. For someone to attain the rank of full member simply means that the person has fully adapt to the community by either offering solutions or raising a reasonable discussion for members to deliberate and ponder on. Experience plays an important role in any field and a full member and above ranks have a bit of this experience, making a useful and helpful posts is highly expected from them.


It's a normal thing to see some of your posts in fact, many of your posts not merited. Most if not all would be in legendary rank now if every post we make should be merited. It's not because they are not merit worthy but because everyone is entitled to make use of their smerit as they wish. The first day I received a merit, I felt so special as if I own the world. Not only here in the forum but even outside here, whenever you do something in your community and receive appreciation you'll definitely feel special and honored. It's the same feeling here when you make contribution and the post receive merit.

This is how it's supposed to be but let face the reality, how many gamblers are learning from their mistakes? Only few people gambling can confidently say that they are learning from their mistakes. Many addicts out there have in one way or another heard, saw or even read about others experience on addiction and the consequences that follows but nobody cares to learn from such experiences. You don't necessarily have to make mistakes before one can learn, trying to avoid the mistakes through others experience should be the best practice. Prevention is better than cure they said, if the mistake can be avoided please avoid it before you experience it and learn from it.

However, these mistakes can only be avoided or learn from in gambling practice and not in your game selection. It's possible to learn from your mistakes when selecting your games and still make same or other mistakes. There is no clue or manual for that, it is basically on luck. The aspect you can learn from is your gambling management such as the amount to gamble, how often to gamble, keep to your limit and above all, don't put much hope on your games in order not to feel disappointed eventually.

It's not about having trust in their couch, it's their tradition and I don't blame them because I will definitely do the same thing if I should be in their shoes. Take a look at Ten Hang in Manchester united since you used him as example, can you continue to have trust in such couch if you are the owner of the club? I guess your answer will be No. I know it takes more than just a season to build a team but even at the beginning, there suppose to be signs to show that the team is on the right track and the couch is worthy to be given more years to build a dream team but what can you tell of Ten Hang at Manchester united to prove he should be trusted for more seasons?

If Ten Hang is in Chelsea, he would have been the least serving couch in the club if his performance will be as same as it is now in Manchester united. I like how Abrahamovic was making good use of his sack letter because some of these couches are just there to earn a living without impact on the club development. Todd is too calm and tolerate what shouldn't be tolerated in order to maintain the standard of the club.

It was very interesting and emotional game I have witnessed this season. Honestly speaking, I didn't expect such high level performance from Borussia Dortmund but they surprised everyone with extra ordinary display especially in the first half of the match. They have really shown the entire world their incredible talent and determination for the sport. Coming this far, they battle against some of the best teams in their respective leagues but they miraculously scale through the challenges to witness the final.

Real madrid won the match but I admire the dedication, hardwork and passion for the badge from Borussia Dortmund side. Playing against Madrid has never been easy for any team but Dortmund put up the fight until the very end as if their lives depend on it. Real Madrid with their experience in the competition utilize the few chances they got despite not performing well. The spirit of lifting the trophy is in the club from time immemorial.

You try for us for sharing this here thou I believe they are something that we are already familiar with in the industry. I go like add my own cent to your points. E for make more sense if you arrange them according to their priorities. That your number five point suppose comes first because many people dey loose guard with the money they are investing in bitcoin hoping to cash out big in a short time and it mostly end in tears. Na why some people still believe BTC na scam because they invest with the money they will need soon and end up selling at low price without realizing their capital talk more of profit. The wallet and security of funds comes after you have gotten the money to invest and then follow by the subsequent points.


Boss, this one sound strange to me and I don't think it's the belief of common man or majority of people in the industry. I think if na just normal saving, we would have chose to save in our traditional currency because there's no chance of losing them due to market circumstances. I know inflation will come after your savings in local currency but it is more better than losing your funds entirely. Perhaps, we have switch from the actual reason we are holding BTC to profit making aspect.

Can we compare current Real madrid and Bayern Munich strength? I believe that even Borussia Dortmund's players will admit that playing against Real madrid is definitely going to be different playing against teams like Bayern Munich currently. I know they have played lots of difficult matches in the past but saying that playing against Real madrid is the biggest match of their career is not entirely wrong statement too. I'm not referring to playing in champions league final as the biggest or great match but I am talking about the team they are playing as the biggest thing in their career considering that it's UCL final again.

Both teams are strong for eliminating series of teams to reach this very stage of the competition and they are both prepared. We can not confidently predict the outcome of the match despite that it is obvious to tell which team is stronger and which is weaker. Football is a game of luck and the strength of the team doesn't always translate to winning the match but it will be surprising to everyone who is familiar with these two teams if Real madrid lose the match. Let deal with the situation on ground and do away with emotions.

It actually occurs even among the married couples but just as you said it's a very rare case. I have witnessed few of such cases in the past where married women mistakenly took in while they had an infant still breastfeeding or due to some personal reasons. These cases is not rampant as it is among young girls and boys mingling together in the name of dating and love. Nevertheless, abortion is same as committing murder whether being done at the early stage of the pregnancy or at the late period. It's killing of a life and it is punishable.

It doesn't matter whether the pregnancy comes following the right process or illegal process, God has his reason for granting you the pregnancy and should be protected by whatever means until delivery. Doing abortion could transcribe to two things; killing the child which is a gift from the above and Secondly, you risk your own life in the process which might lead to death. The rule is very simple, keep the pregnancy or stay away from having it in the first place if you can't keep it.

Actually, I don't see much distinction between these disastrous habit of gambling, they are just like a vicious circle and one lead to another. Greediness is the mother of addiction, it makes one to gamble often simply because they want to win more and more which lead to addiction in the long run. Addiction don't just start like that, it starts gradually as you continue gambling frequently and to some stage that you can stay for hours without gambling.

To answer the Op question, I will say greediness is more disastrous than addiction since it's the cause root of addiction and if one can control one's greediness, becoming addicted to gambling will be easy to handle. Greed tells you to gamble more you might probably win from this round, if you listen to that revelation your journey to addiction has just started. We know the dangers being addicted to gambling cause to gamblers, it is necessary to control our greediness as a step to begin with.

First experience has always been like this, full of excitement and happiness. It's visible in your post how excited you are and glad that you chose the right path to spend the money wisely by investing in bitcoin.

I hope you have knowledge about wallet and how to securely protect your funds? I doubt thou because you keep the coin in an exchange wallet known as custodial wallet, you don't have the private key to the wallet and if anything should happen to that exchange now like bankrupt or cyber attack, your coins are gone. It's not advisable to keep coins on such wallet especially if you plan to hold for a long time. Read [General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why? to know more about the wallet.

Not only in telegram but the rate at which scam is advancing in general is alarming and this makes it more necessary for us to be current and updated in order to be a step ahead of these scammers. Your experience in Telegram is outdated format that scammers use to outsmart probably fellow scammers in the past but few people might still be falling for this trick. I encountered it in Telegram too and have many similar messages in my Twitter inbox, it's not only happening in telegram but also in other social media platforms.

It's like a robbery scene where armed robbers are being robbed by another armed robber because the larger percentage of people importing the wallet intended to steal the funds from the wallet not knowing that the wallet has a bot configured to move out the TRX you deposit before even attempting to make any further action. The crypto industry is very wide to accommodate both genuine people and others with double standards, it is good not to attempt to interact with coins you don't work for.


I agree with you that for someone to earn USDT should be able to withdraw it but I beg to differ on the last part of your statement. While I also believe that plenty of people willing to steal that funds for one reason or the other, I do believe there are still honest and innocent people out there whom might be willing to help sincerely and end up being a victim. We can not conclude that they are greedy too simply because they offer to help a scammer ignorantly.

I will also advise to keep distance from any funds you don't work for to protect yourself from things like that and if you choose to help, teach the person how to do it by themselves and never agree to do it from your end.

We are too quick to judge Chelsea on how they change their manager frequently when they are not delivering their work effectively as the management desire without realizing that they are running a business which requires a positive result in order to progress. Chelsea as a club is like a company and no company will continue to hire you and keep on paying you if you are not making impact on the progress of the company. I understand the importance of patience with couches in order to allow them to build a formidable team in the long run but if it takes forever to build the team, it means the couch has no idea or strategies to make it a reality. Besides, there are signs to see in a team and one would be able to tell whether the couch deserves more time to prove himself.

We shouldn't attribute this attitude to Chelsea alone because every club will do same when they are not getting desired result from the couch they appoint. You as individual can not keep a property that has no benefit or value to you for longer period talk more of a group of people who aim big as a club to be recognized as one of the best in all competitions.

Seriously, winning has nothing to do with our state of mind when gambling. From my personal experience and observations from others, betting placed with so much confidence mostly end up losing than bet placed with calmness and less expectations. Forget about gambling and let talk about the real life, over confidence make things worse and decisions taken with under such conditions are likely to fail. Talking from experience, I have been disappointed several times with games I played with so much confidence and they end up falling my hands and likewise, I do win some games I play with less expectations when I don't pay much attention but surprisingly, they become green.

However, being confident and winning a bet depends on the games you normally play. There are games that you can be confidently relaxed after playing them and they will play according to your prediction but games like football doesn't fit in this category. In games like table tennis, I do pick with confident and win depending on the player vs player since it's individual game but team games will hardly work out well.

I believe you intend to say what he did was gambling and not trade because it's very obvious from Op narration that he disguise and gamble with his $100 instead of trading. I'm not saying he gamble the money because he lost some part of the money but it's because he has no knowledge of what he is into. Having extensive knowledge is paramount before risking any amount in trading. Watching some few videos on YouTube won't make you an expert, Infact, I do see upcoming traders that rely on YouTube videos for their learning as unserious learners.

Trading these reputable coins might not be profitable as one may desire but as a newbie into trading, it will help to minimize your loss and also help you to understand the market movement than starting with unknown coins that will probably liquidate your account in short time. By the way, trading is not meant for everyone and Op could invest that money into bitcoin, hold and continue to accumulate more coins.

I'm not a seer but I can presume next season to be very competitive in all the top and major leagues in Europe. Bundesliga will not be left behind to witness this competition because Bayern Munich will definitely come back stronger with the aim of reclaiming their championship next season. Bayern Munich new couch will also try to impress the management with his work next season in order to build trust and confidence between the management and himself. Leverkusen should not be distract from the media hype, they should maintain their performance as if they are struggling to come out from relegation zone.

I believe that if their management is ready to spend money on transfer market, majority of players will be interested to join them because they have earn themselves the recognition on the media with their incredible unbeaten record. Players now especially the upcoming younger ones are interested in a team like that where they can be talked about in order to be famous and boost their career to higher level.

That's what the industry is designed for but sincerely speaking, only a few percentage of gamblers are gambling this days for the sake of fun and entertainment. The attention and emphasis has now shifted to money. In fact, people now see gambling as a source of income despite they are not always winning but they keep hoping to hit the jackpot someday.

It's funny how some people are into gambling without knowing the purpose they are there for. They are just gambling because they heard about someone winning huge amount of money from gambling. For several occasions, I have seen people gambling with there money while they don't even know how to gamble. They normally give people money to gamble for them and collect the profit if they win. I make enquiry and I discovered that one gambler in their midst won a reasonable amount of money from gambling and everyone is now coming to him with money to play game for them.

These set of people don't even know what sport is all about talk more of knowing the various teams to place bet on. They believe gambling to be a second source of income and when you talk about the entertainment part of gambling, you are just wasting your time with them. I know it will not end well between them because when losing is too much, they will start accusing him of spending their money instead of gambling for them not knowing that winning is occasional.

Did you just say bald trainers bring good luck? Oh, let me remind you that Manchester united trainer is a bald man too

Only Pep I can boast to be exceptional from the rest of bald trainers I know. I don't know much about Enzo Maresca but I learnt that Leicester city were promoted to premier league this season under his management. I don't follow up with championship games often but from few match records of Leicester city, I can say that he's an average bald couch as well just like Eric. Sometimes, taking challenges like this is the path to success and improvement. I hope he will deliver the task at Chelsea but regardless of whatever happens, Chelsea took wrong decisions for firing Pottechino at this time.

By the way, the contract between Chelsea and Enzo is until 2029 with option to extend, lol! We all know that this agreement will not see the light of the day, it could be terminate in the long run if it is the Chelsea we know. There's no point signing a long contract that will be later shorten, it's a waste of funds.

First of all, who are the government? Na we be the government and make we tell ourselves the truth, some government officials sabi this thing called crypto or bitcoin to be specific pass some ordinary person. Dem know the truth say bitcoin is not a scam but dem dey pretend thinking that we don't know the game they are playing. Sometimes, I dey give them benefit of doubt say na because they know the kind people we are for this country and if given full and free access to crypto, people go begin dey abuse am to launder public funds and stealing go dey on high but even if na wetin dem dey fear be that, denying us access to crypto is not the best way to combat that.

I dey respect government decision before when dem remain neutral concerning the issue but as dem dey take the matter for head now forgetting about the major issues facing the country is the most useless decision I have seen from this administration. Why making the whole thing look like a fight when they can easily set up and design a regulation guiding the usage of crypto in the country. If tax is there problem, we go pay the tax if dem put regulations in place than trying to deny us from having access to the technology.

Na government still dey lose the fight as dem dey form strong head and continue with the fight against the crypto in the country. Firstly, despite their efforts to stop us from using the service, we dey use am like nothing even happen. Secondly, the tax dem suppose dey collect from people using the service if dem allow us access and regulate the system, dem no dey see am collect. Finally, the local currency wey dem dey pretend to be protecting is becoming more valueless day by day because of their careless decisions.

As it is now, they are just ashame to revert their decisions since they claimed it will work but they make things worse. The only way to go now is to have a rethink and derive a measures to regulate the using of crypto or they continue to be on the losing side until their brain reset.

If I have a well thought out business idea which I think is very genuine, getting a loan will not be a bad idea and as well, looking for an interested investor will also not be bad either but before taking the loan I will have to consider the terms and conditions been set by the loan giver whether it is what I will be able to cope with, if I can not cope with the terms and conditions or the interest rate, I will switch back to an investor who has like business idea as mine. However, the whole thing depends on someone's location because here in my place, no one will be interested to risk their money on your theory ideas as an investment. In such cases, loan will be the best option if one is ready to face whatever the outcome might be eventually.


Trying to start up the business with your own little effort will elongate the process and someone with a reasonable capital might steal and takeover that idea from you if care is not taken. I know it takes process to build an investment or any business but if the second option is available, I will definitely go for the second option and kickstart the business with a force. If the agreed percentage with someone ready to provide the capital is favorable, I will gladly accept. Providing capital for a business idea not your own is a risk that not everyone would like to venture into. If someone agrees to partner with me, I will go for that than to try to start with a little beginning.
