2  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Madness caused by the actual launch of notcoin on: May 22, 2024, 01:10:08 AM
Well the topic heading alone speaks for itself although it's for those of that are actually into this, although the majority of persons I have seen are mostly within my country so I don't know how the effect is elsewhere.

Ever since the launch of this notcoin, everyone single person took it so personal as some kind of missed opportunity although if you would look at it from an angle it definitely did look like that because many persons actually benefited from it but this now has caused a very big uproar in my country and also everyone nows seems to want to get into the crypto space and look for some altcoins that is actually minable like the notcoin which simply requires the users to tap on their screen representation of the coin.

But that being said the basic essence I brought up this topic is to actually set out a warning about the dangerous opportunity that can be exploited also by scammers because of the referral process involved in claiming some point in the telegram app that mines these coins, alot of persons have flooded my WhatsApp and telegram DM with these referrals and what I see are numerous invitation to join some of these altcoin project proposing that they would be launched and listed soon.

So many also have been scammed after some of these new projects requires some of them to even pay some kind of gas fee from different network that requires the actual mined token to be transferred and the funny part is for most of these projects now are all scam project that certainly feel the urge to imitate the success of the NOTCOIN project.

the situation with the tapping of screen in my country and maybe even other countries is something else. My simple word of advice is that not all things that looks profitable is actually profitable some are profitable to the owners @scammers. So FYI stay smart and don't get scammed, it's the bull season all these are meant to happen

HAPPY BITCOIN PIZZA DAY 🍕 ALSO

Well here is my entry and took some precious time of mine and I hope I did it right 😊
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: May 01, 2024, 07:38:43 AM
Yes, logically rich gamblers dare to take high risks because they have a lot of financial support within them and poor gamblers don't dare to do the same because they are quite lacking in financial terms except for poor gamblers who have experienced this. serious addiction.
However, if you look at the party who is truly disadvantaged, I think both rich gamblers and poor gamblers will experience the same thing. because in gambling you definitely don't see who is rich and who is poor, the most important goal is not to let the host suffer big losses, the one who bears all the losses is the gambler.
There are two possibilities where gamblers are rich and poor but with your logic it makes sense.

Rich gamblers by taking high risks risking a lot are obviously a lot of reserve funds even in one month can recover.

The poor gambler takes high risks because he thinks of luck so he dares to bet even if he spends all his money, I think there are still poor people doing this action and do not care about the finances he has.

What is clear is that casino owners will benefit because this is the business they run, any loss from rich or poor gamblers will lose the same does not distinguish it, only self-control can stop them in a big loss.

Yes, in essence, rich gamblers can gamble according to their wishes and they don't really think about the money limit for betting because rich gamblers have a lot of cash reserves so they think that if they lose their money they can still recover quickly as before.
Meanwhile, poor gamblers who play gambling first see whether the money in their savings is still enough to be used for gambling or not because poor gamblers still need to reconsider if their money runs out if they lose at gambling, therefore poor gamblers are very careful in betting the money they have. large enough.
Rich gamblers do not experience pressure in any form, while poor gamblers experience financial pressure.

Yes, of course casino owners only think about how they can gain a lot and lose a little by releasing lots of promising game tricks so that casino owners hope that poor gamblers and rich gamblers will dare to bet on their gambling platform. and what is different here is how rich gamblers and poor gamblers can control themselves when playing the gambling they have done.
I think I will beg to disagree with some of your points because the same pressure that is felt by the so called is still felt by the rich boys too because the two peer don't actually bet with same range of funds and that's because the level aren't the same but the fact is that the money that poor gamblers used and rich gamblers use are actually rated same in terms of losing because a rich gambler might see 100$ as nothing and tend to gamble with 1000$ but the first money is a normal for the poor gambler.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: April 26, 2024, 08:57:21 PM
Gambling because you don't have sufficient money is like going to a strip club because you don't have a girlfriend.  I'm not sure it's the correct approach.  Sure, some guys get lucky and save a stripper, but most end up leaving penniless with a stain on their sweatpants.  Personally, I think both places should be where you go to spend money and enjoy a good time.  Going into a casino thinking you're going to leave with money is really the perfect analogy with going to a strip club and thinking you'll leave with a girlfriend.  Sure, it happens, but not enough to risk the end of your stack on.
Funny comparism but it's the truth anyway not that I truly understand the context of a you going to the strip club and I feels because am the lady but for the fact of gambling when you don't have sufficient amount of funds then hoping that you can make it through that time of you gambling by hitting a good win is something that's is called extreme risk because the percentage of you ending up with zero funds is probably way higher than the latter.

Funny enough I don't believe that anyone who holds his investment for less than 4 yours is a long term holder except on cases where the person was able to accumulate so much bitcoin in such a short amount of time and maybe was lauck to invest in a time like this(for those that started invest maybe mid last year or from last year).

Holding an investment withing a duration of a year to four is no longer what we should be seen as short term investment, we can even make the expected result within the first year of investing on bitcoin if we happen to fall under the right timing that after our investment, the market continues in bullrun on a sustained range, just as we have it from now, if someone is investing now and could be able to hold till this time next year, there is high probability of making more profits over his investments because of the post halving bullrun experience.

It all depends on the amount of bitcoin the person has accumulate over that interval of one year before you begin to talk about making of profit. If u do not have a sizeable amount of bitcoin in your portfolio you cannot be able to make this profit you are talking about ,especially if you are doing DCA it will take you time to accumulate a reasonable
amount of bitcoin.


Yes, it will take long to accumulate huge profits in Bitcoin investment but the fact is that there is always certainty to what you are done and that for me it's even better than doing trading or gambling your Bitcoin to get that kind of profits hopefully from a lucky trade session which can be risky or by switching investment to altcoins which for me it's not even supposed to be an option for anyone who is aiming for something realistic with their saving, although their their is also the case of the amount of funds you use for the DCA strategy because you can use some certain amount which will build you bigger profits in a more shorter time frame.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: April 25, 2024, 06:06:04 AM
Hi everyone,

The way you play, which we can consider your playing strategy, plays an important role in determining your profit or loss, like other factors.

For me, when I play, I enter with the intention of double the amount of money and stop. This method may be followed by some people, and I do it sometimes. I determine the amount of money that I will gamble with, for example $100 and I try to get $200 and leave the casino or site if the plan worked  very well. If I am unlucky, once I lose $100, I will leave without adding a penny. What is interesting here is that even if I win, I stop and do not deviate from the scope of the plan. In such situations, especially when winning, the gambler may become greedy, and this may change the course of the game   .

What do you think of this method?
Is there anyone among you who does it?
Give us one of your winning strategies, of course if that is possible.
Although am a woman and people feel the urge that women aren't that much of gamblers, but my case is quite different because sometimes when am bored at worked I actually tend to gamble a little bit and yes sometimes it's for the case of just trying to double my capital but I must confess it's not always profitable because their are cases that even the smallest odds can actually cut your game.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: April 24, 2024, 09:58:11 PM
It is not right to blame someone for a game that he loses, because losing is not intentional,no one wants to lose,and as such,If one loses it is something that will cause pain and not happiness.
But sometimes,greed can make someone lose too, because if you have played and won,there is no need of you playing again more to get everything in just a day, anything that makes you play more,there is every tendency that you must lose.Therefore,if one has gambled a day,and he wins,he should try as much as hold himself to avoid playing more,else,losing awaits him.
Most person and gambler tend to lash out their loses on someone else and for me that's a sign of irresponsibility because before ever you are going into gambling you would have known that the game isn't a game that guarantees only winning infact losing is one of the core results in Gambling so that should be at the back of every gamblers head and not passing blame out on other persons.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 24, 2024, 09:47:58 PM
Instead of scoring a goal in the second half, Liverpool conceded Everton's second goal in the second half.
So Liverpool lost to Everton, that’s really bad for them, at this critical moment they are not suppose to lose any match, seriously it’s a surprise to me because I never expected Liverpool to lose to Everton, I can say the premier league winner this season is between Arsenal and Manchester City, Liverpool can’t win the league this season again. I don’t think both Arsenal and Manchester city will want to lose any match for now.
Losing to Crystal Palace was somehow okay because there was still hope for Liverpool to challenge for the Premier League title. With this 2-0 loss at Everton, I believe Liverpool is out of this season's Premier League title race. Manchester City and Arsenal will use this opportunity to accumulate enough points that would make them top Liverpool with a good point difference, and Liverpool will have no chance of challenging for the Premier League title.
Liverpool really surprised me on how they lost their games these days because am shocked and suprised, Liverpool was one of the most informed team in the league and all of a sudden things just went sideways as they continued to lose out points especially in the premier league which is the one they really needed because of the title race battle between them and the rest two teams but now with this lose its definitely certain that they can't meet up again and they will have to finish the season with no trophy at all.

This is a welcome development if they can only do what they have stated in that publication. This shouldn't be an opportunity to suffer the masses again and start threatening them with timeline elapsing to get the card. They should do it in a way that will be convinent for everyone to enroll on it. But if they can put all these features in that card, why can't they also add the option for us to use it and cast our vote during election at the comfort of our home or a place of our choice. This our country Sha, let's keep hoping for a better Nigeria someday.
Yes oo na so dem dey do for this country, dem go just come with sudden timeline and hope and expect everyone to actually meet up with that without them really exercising on the fact say Nigeria we plenty well well and anything that needs to be done on this country needs patience and perseverance.

16  Other / Off-topic / The act of getting loss when writing.. on: April 20, 2024, 07:16:36 AM
Hello community,

I taught I should bring this out to the open and also hear from other too here in the community especially one peculiar user here which I have found really interesting @jayjuangee.

The act of writing something can be tricky for me well I don't know if others too really encounter this? Well at first English isn't really my first language but even at that its universal nature makes it a must for most person to learn and use it.

The reason why I write this is because sometimes when I want to write some topics or even replies, I sometimes get lost in the whole write and even sometimes ran out of idea and even points to present and I have read it on many people writes up here too when they just ramble over one particular one points over and over and it's just somehow odd from my view of it and I don't know if anyone else notice this too.

But the essence of me making highlights to this user JayJuanGee is because am surprised at his whole write up somethings and it's never the one point rollover as every points he gives is valid and makes sense and I know so many users here also possess that skill.

I would just like for hint, maybe tools to use that can aid most users here when writing to avoid continue making their write up look so boring and tiring and that includes myself ☺️☺️
17  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell? on: April 20, 2024, 06:59:20 AM
Ive been hearing about situations where someone buys a coin for a certain rate and not quite long after,  the said coin drops in value, or  someone sells his coin for a certain rate and then it appreciates just after.
What's your take on this? Given the period we're in is it buy time or sell time?
When you enter the market, you must look at the market position and understand that if you are not experienced in this, you will never be able to sell and make more profit. Of course, you should buy when there is volatility in the market and if you buy and hold it will definitely put you in a profit position. You buy from a position where you will not face a loss if you buy, but you will see the possibility of profit in the future. If you enter the market and are not knowledgeable about the market, then you will survive the number of bones compared to the profit, so you need to know about the volatility of the market first. Many times, if you buy when the market goes down a lot and sell when it goes back up, you can definitely make a profit. That's why you should buy and hold when the market starts to fluctuate, sell when the market enters highs, and you will only profit if you continue to do so, and you will be successful.

Maybe better to suggest to buy and to hold and to just figure out a budget in which you can continue to buy BTC for 4-10 years or longer, and then reassess your situation once you start to accumulate a high enough quantity of BTC that you might start to feel that you are able to sell some or to live off of it or to supplement your income with it.  

Much better to have a longer term BTC accumulation plan that involved mostly buying and holding rather than buying and selling, which truly runs risks of selling too much too soon and then becoming disgruntled due to an inability to recognize an appreciate the power of bitcoin as an asymmetric bet to the upside.
If the investor doesn't understand what he or she is doing then going in or making the wrong decision when it comes to the type of investment is probably the first mistake he or she makes with their investment. It's always better to have a long term plan to your investment because selling and tempering with the invested Bitcoin like you said will just make the investors grow the urge not to continue as no much value might be added when their is significant increase of the price but when the plan is long term all these worries are left behind because the buying mentality is more fixed and when the price increase is seen it also enhances the zeal to buy more and more despite any fluctuations in the price.

That is one of the powers of just ongoing, consistent and persistent continuing to buy, even if it is just a small amount.. it helps to reinforce the dedication to the BTC investment, and surely options likely continue to increase with the ongoing investing, especially if maybe the person comes from a poor background and just spends more than 10 years buying small amounts of bitcoin without being tempted into selling them, and then even if the amount is ONLY $10 per week, then after a year it is $520, and after 10 years it is $5,200, and sure maybe it still is not enough, and maybe he needs another 10 years of buying BTC which would end up being $10,400 invested after 20 years (with ONLY $10 per week), and surely the earlier purchased coins would have greater odds of having had appreciated more than the later purchased coins, and even if there are no guarantees of profits, I think that the odds should be pretty good that the guy will have put himself into a better place by buying BTC through that whole time versus his other option of not buying.

One of the certainty that's involved when buying BTC is that if he sticks to the plan and avoid tempering with it or diversing to other means like trading then the results will always yield positive but in the case of buying Bitcoin and the patience and discipline is not there, then the results will now be faced with two outcome which is either he struggles to meet up or at the long leave the whole investment because everything will be scattered and it will be as if there is no progress with the investment and I know one thing that keeps a man driving at what he is don is when he see little progress no matter how small it is and again looking for fast increase can make the investor go to other means like trading which is certainly a no go area because that can be known as gambling your Bitcoin and the possibility of getting positive is never certain so it's better to stay safe and stick to slow and steady continuity than rush the whole thing and get losses.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Can people still get the addictive nature through friendly games on: April 20, 2024, 06:47:19 AM
Good day friends


Yes the topic name somehow portrays what am about to explain although for a female gender and plus the current society where am staying this kind of habit is somehow strange but I guess most persons must have witnessed it.

So the other day me and my friends both male and female were involved in some house old friendly games like food competition, card game, thumb wrestling and so many more and take to note, all these activities were done just for old times sake and meet between old friends at my place as it included both my husband and his friends but I witness something rather uncalled for.

So I noticed that there were this particular group of guys who really went all out with the friendly and even getting to the extent of making serious argument and almost taking it to the next level for games that were just played for fun purpose and nothing more, it got so worse that the whole atmosphere changed and he instigated that they added some monetary value to the game that he is certain that he isn't going to lose easily and to cut the long story short it went on and on till he barely had much left with him anymore and I had to call the whole thing off and even asked that he money was given back to him but his pride and Shame couldn't allow him to take it back.


So am just curious to know if these little games are the one's that got to him or already developed such habit and to know if possible that the practice will continue elsewhere after leaving there when he lost the money and to look for means through gambling to recover it.
19  Other / Politics & Society / DNA and paternity fraud on: April 05, 2024, 05:09:35 PM
Paternity fraud is increasingly becoming a trend these days. Every day, we wake up to different news about paternity fraud, which is becoming worrisome. Why would people be so wicked or careless to do that?

Three major causes of the high incidence of paternity fraud are
1: The woman having multiple partners:  When a woman has sexual relationships with more than one partner within the same timeframe, this can lead to uncertainty about the biological father of the child conceived during this time.

2: The woman not understanding her menstrual cycle to accurately estimate the time of ovulation. Some women who have multiple partners and can't calculate their ovulation are not aware of who the father of their child is until a DNA test is done.

3: When a child is switched at birth.

People should desist from this because this act is harmful, and it has consequences like emotional pain for your partner, feelings of betrayal, and it also has a psychological impact on the child.

Omo! this matter dey pain me, why e be say, when dollar dey increase, people wey buy goods when dollar never increase dey immediately increase price because dollar don go up, but now wey dollar dey come down, the price of things no dey come down. I know say some people go say, "eh they bought their goods when dollar dey high" sometime na lie, most of them no buy anything when the dollar been dey up but them still increase their prices. Imagine mango wey dey grow for my backyard na somebody dey sell 1 for 200 because things are expensive abi na Garri wey be everybody food before don turn rich man food.

I want make the government take up this matter and make sure they follow up with all these manufacturing companies  wey they produce these things and make sure they reduce their price. When I go market, the retailers go say na the people wey dey produce the thing na e be the cause of the high cost that's why I want make the government face the manufacturers first. If the government no put mouth for this matter, na so everybody go just adjust to this broad day light robbery and it's very painful.

My people, how ona see this matter? How them go fit do wey price of things sef go fit come down as dollar dey come down?
