1  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Vote for the worst candidate. Do not vote for the best candidate. on: November 04, 2024, 01:40:50 PM
The Catholic Holy Father, Pope Francis, once told the US people to vote for the lesser evil. In my view, this created more confusion since he didn't tell them who the lesser evil was. Now you are telling Americans to vote for the worst candidate, and thankfully you gave some reason. You would have done these voters more good if you told them who is the worst candidate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

However, I guess you mean that people should vote for the candidate who will give more aid to other countries and open the borders for immigrants. Do you mean Harris??
American know the capability and character of DonaldTrump and Kamala Harris but of them have been in public offices and have showcase their capacity. So I think, the Pope was just trying to tell American to be careful in making their choice of leaders to avoid chosing a leader that will policy that will have negative impact on the masses.

I often hear of beginners Luck and i have equally experienced it. At the early times you seem to make a few stipend here and there and you get so over confident and feeling like a trading beast or a sniper, only to blow the account over and over again, frustration starts creeping in.

Beginners Luck occurs  during the first few days, weeks or months of trading. Beginners are cautious and less greedy initially, they seem to be excited by a few stipend they get.

I am of the opinion that beginners should get less overconfident and try to understand the market and develop a trading system.

Beginners should equally know that loosing trades is still part of the win if you know the reason for the loss. Some one once said anyone who thinks trading is easy has just been trading for 5 minutes.

What's your opinion  about this? What was your experience,  have you ever had beginners Luck? Is it real or is it superstition?
Beginners luck is real but I think it can only be possible when the beginner have little experience in the system by having a little bit knowledge of what to do at the right time and when trade is favourable. However, bignner luck may also be dangerous sometime to the begineer because it can give the begineer overconfidence which may result to losing all he has gained including his capital.

The lesson we learn from trading experience and articles we read are quite different, though the lesson from both are very important in trading but the mistakes of some beginners, they get much confidence in trading after learning only from books.
Experience gives the best lessons to traders, which beginners should never be in haste or be so confidence to trade with big amount of money by only gaining knowledge from reading books about trading.
The problem with most beginner is that they are in hast to make quick money without getting the real training and skill that will give them the money. Although, sometimes we learn through mistake but there is need to have more experience to avoid making expensive mistakes.
Trading is a capital intensive activity that require learning and experience so there is need to learn and get the real knowledge of trading process before getting trading

Trading is a very delicate activity that require adequate training and experience that is beyond knowledge gained from reading books alone. It's advisable to undergo adequate training before venturing into trading.
5  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Bitcoin lover, will you vote for Trump? on: September 17, 2024, 01:44:48 PM
It is not my intention to add to the number of post already in this forum about the upcoming elections in the US, but this is a topic that I consider interesting and found it in AltcoinTalks. I am quoting it because I think the responses here will be unique to every individual who loves bitcoin.

Quote
This is a polltopic for cryptoBitcoin people/crypto owners that are not living in the US and do not participate in US elections.

Just to see if cryptoBitcoin as a single issue is strong enough to even motivate non-US voters.

I do not agree with many of Trump's stances and opinions, but his support for crypto made me reflect: is this issue strong enough for me to cast a vote for him, and I am wondering about the rest of crypto owners around the world.

If you had the power to cast 1 magical vote for Trump, would you do it ?

(slight modifications have been made to the topic, to make it best suited for this board.)

Although it's somehow impossible to have total a prediction of someone action toward some certain things because everybody is subject to change when they achieve their quest but going by the present propose intention of Trump toward cryptocurrency I think he has a good intention to future of cryptocurrency and as I such if I'm an American I will vote for him in the forthcoming election.

Fight between Iran and Israel
I heard it on news that a great fight is currently on between this two countries
I wonder why people cannot coexist peacefully without fighting each other. I believe the world will be a better place for everyone if we give peace a chance and celebrate each other.
I don't really know what these people are gaining in war even when it's so obvious that both country will loose economy value and human capital.
Sincerely speaking, I got irritated each time I heard that two countries is at war because the people that will suffer most are the vulnerable and the innocent children that know nothing about the root of the crisis.
7  Other / Politics & Society / Re: money buy happines only if you are a female on: September 16, 2024, 09:18:57 PM
I always thought that money buy happiness but now I think that this only work on females or a beta male (have a female mentality)

I am not rich I am poor and yes I know that money will buy you a good home, car, good health care and good teeth, beautiful wife and such.

but all of these are materials.
real men always seek something beyond the material level, the smart ones are seeking knowledge, the strong one are seeking stronger body, the psychos are seeking to do what ever please them.

This acutely been showing through out the History, I mean the person who Tetris game could've been a filthy rich but he didn't, the game being global and draw a smile on the children's face is more important that being filthy rich.

and if you read the history of Rome you will see that merchants where considered a low class, lower than a soldier and a farmer even tho they are richer than them but because merchants doesn't create anything they simply buy and sell and that's it.
not just Rome also ancient Greek and Japan, China, Egypt, Syria, Armenia, Assyria, Babylon and many other ancient nations considered merchants lower than farmer or craftsman.

as for female you know that female has 4x less brain cells than male, and actually money buy them happiness I mean females can be happy with beautiful stuff and that's it.
the funny thing that growing in a poor family and neighborhood I always found that boys my age can be happy with a simple stuff such as finding some animal or even a stick while girls where harder to be happy since there parents can't buy them beautiful dress and shoes.

so if you think that money will buy you happiness then you are a female or a male with female mentality or a delusional.


of course I am not saying that anyone searching for money and trying to be rich is a female or a beta male or that money doesn't matter.
money matter of course and it will insure your safety, you never heard about a rich guy who died in a war or out of hunger in a famine.
so money  is a tool to insure you don't get depressed, it isn't a the tool to buy happiness




The rate at which one can be happy is not as a result of gender or achievement but how you assimilate socioeconomic activities around around you. In otherwise I will say that happiness is a mindset not necessarily related to gender or money because there are a lot people out there or female to said that have everything they need to be happy but yet still have some atom of sadness  in them which maybe as a result of some social constraint.
8  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Stealing to give to the poor. Is it right? on: September 16, 2024, 08:59:07 PM
I have a friend who was elected into a political office. Before he was elected he was well known for his uprightness and integrity. Now, his new office is filled with corruption in the form of looting of government funds. He told me that when the allocation from the central government comes, the chairman of the local government will call them and give them a large amount for their upkeep. But they still receive their monthly salary and allowance.

He is well aware that the allocation was for the development of the local government, but he is forced to take it since almost all the elected officers are collecting it. The first time he rejected the money, he received a threat that he would be impeached or violently attacked. This is because his colleagues are scared that he might reveal the corruption that is going on in the local government.

My friend decided to set up a foundation that gives scholarships and builds schools. With the illegal funds, he usually receives every month, he has been able to finance the education of many poor students in his ward and has also built and refurbished a few schools.

He knows that those funds he receives are illegal but he vowed not to use them for his personal needs. What is your opinion on this matter?
There is no measure to justify corruption or stealing whether you use the money to develop the vulnerable people or you use it for self development. I no he was in a tight situation regarding the threat to his life for trying to reject the money but if truly his a man of integrity as you claimed I think the best thing he should have done is to resigned from the force and sue them for corruption and threat to his life and by so doing they will be afraid to go after his life since the case is already made public and registered in the court of law.

We live in a globalised technocracy where people have been reduced to nothing more than economic units. Voting legitimises an illegitimate system. Don't go out to vote in their little charade. Have some dignity. Don't contribute to the tryanny of modern governance systems.
Abstaining from voting is the worst mistake a citizen of any country will make because it will create more opportunity for bad and corrupt leaders to seize power from the people so for that I'm not in support of your opinion of abstaining from voting in democratically system because voting is the only legitimate right and power the masses have to make a positive change to any bad government or tyranny governance.
10  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Iran and Israel on: September 15, 2024, 11:52:40 PM
Israel is not a country, it is an illegal occupying force that has taken over Palestine. Of course if you ask me Israel is more like a terrorist organization similar to ISIS.

Iran has always been at war with terrorist organizations, the "Islamic State" was dismantled by Iran and similarly the "Jewish State" is also being dismantled by Iran. It still is not a full scale conflict because United States (generally NATO) is supporting the Israeli terrorists which makes things slightly complicated...

use those kinds of weapons of mass destruction against the innocent in Israel. 
There are no such thing as "innocence" in an occupation.
In any case WMDs have no place in Iran's military doctrine (so far) and even if it did, Iran would never be able to drop a nuke on occupied Palestine (nor need to) because it would harm the innocent Palestinians under occupation and the side effects would also affect Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, etc.
Historically, the place called Israel now is Palestine territory which they settled after migrating from their land of origin and I believe many countries in the world today migrated from different places before they settled where they are today. I think there is need to forget about our past histories and coexist peacefully because in the cost of there is no victor no vanquish as both side will loose lives, properties and economy value.
11  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Getting out of Poverty on: September 15, 2024, 12:35:36 PM
Being born poor is no one’s fault but their parents. However dying poor is entirely up yours.

I got to thinking how come a lot of poor people stay in poverty while some manage to get out of it and make a good life. I boiled it down to two specific things: resources and character. If someone has at least a few resources, he can then try and make a living and try to expand his career furthermore. While someone with not much resources can still manage to find some if he is really determined, hardworking and willing. If you combine these two, surely you’ll get out of poverty.

But why is it that some even with the resources in front of them don’t still manage to make huge profit? Is it because of their character? Are they too lazy? Too comfortable? Not determined enough?

And why is it that some people with determination and perseverance still don’t manage to escape the shackles of poverty? Is it the lack of resources? If they were given resources, will they finally be successful?

Looking at the different people I have met, I try to figure out how and why they ended up the way they are. Are they rich because they have resources and a good character? Or are they rich because they only have good character? Are they poor because, despite the resources, they don’t have a good character?

What do you think is more important to have: resources or character?
I think character matters most than resource because even you have the resource without a good the can be misused but with a good and reliable information resource can be adequately utilized.

Now that Biden is out of the US presidential race, can BTC get to 100k please??
His execelly, Biden has demonstrated the spirit of sportsmanship for quiting is re-election ambition considering his age and health status and I really commend him for not being power monger. I think that's what every reason leader that has the progress of the nation at heart should do but thinking of the appreciation of Bitcoin as the result of his dropping his rerun ambition is still not certain but depends on the enconomic policy  
13  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Biden has Covid-19, will likely drop out of race on: July 20, 2024, 08:54:59 PM
Joe Biden recently said he would drop out of the Presidential race if a medical issue were to come up. Less than 12 hours later, it was announced that he has been diagnosed with Covid-19.

I think it is very likely that Biden will drop out of the race. Given recent events, the Presidency is almost certain to be won by Trump.

What do you think? Who, if anyone will be the Democrat presidential nominee?
It's just a speculation that Biden is suspected to be diagnose with COVID-19. However, If he is not medicallly fit for the rerun election democrats can only forward another nominee to the electoral body if the constitution permit that but if the constitution did not permit a party to nominate another candidate after forwarding their nominee to the electoral authority I think democrats may not possible have a candidate in the forthcoming election and that will automatically make it possible for Trump to win the election. In otherwise democrats can as well nominate the vice president as their presidential candidate if biden is not medically fit for the rerun election.

The Dems failed in this assassination attempt of Trump. They won't stop. Expect that if all their shooter attempts fail, they might nuke a whole rally just to get rid of him. Suitcase nukes have been around for a long time.

Cool
Avoiding going to Trump rallies is not the best precaution to safety because it's almost impossible to avoid Trump political gathering or rallies. I think the US security outfit should intensify their effort to bring normalcy in the state and stop further occurrence of such security threat in the state.

The assassination attempt on Trump might not be as a result of hatred of Trump by the culprit, I believe was political motivated which was planned by some group of people to assassinate Mr Trump in order to stop him in the USA forthcoming election. I think it would have been better if the assassin was apprehended and interrogating to know the reason of the assassination attempt and those that sent him to assassinate Mr trump.

Just like the title says, I was back testing some regular trading sites today. And I saw a pretty interesting one which caught my attention. They had claimed to give free 0.043 BTC upon registering as a welcome gift. I was thrilled and wanted to see for my self.  I followed through their sign up process, using some random emails I just maneuver,and it registered me without any verification. So yes, it was true. I saw the 0.0043 BTC welcome bonus. And wanted to try if it were withdraw able. I already knew the only out come of this, which was obvious from the very beginning. I clicked on withdraw and added an address I don't use. And then I burst out of laughter to see that they had requested a deposit of 0.025 BTC before I would be able to withdraw the bonus. It was so obvious a scam but I wonder if there will still be someone so stupid to fall for such lazy scams. There might be people though, our of greed rush into depositing and eventually funds out it is just a scam. So I just wanted to bring this to the forum so someone might learn something from it. Don't be in a haste to make money, always remember that there isn't any free money on the internet. Noone will give you such huge amounts of BTC for free.

I have some pictures I screenshoted from the website, I would love to share but I really don't know how to post pictures on this forum. I see a lot of people adding pictures to their threads but how do I do that? Anyone care to show me so I can edit this post and add it here also for you guys to see.

Here the link to the website.

One of the reason why some people fell victim of scamming is greed, inexperience and inadequate information because they want to make it to the top using shortcut without due deligente but if truly one is equiped with adequate information and experience it will be very had to fall victim of scam. I'm so impressed that you were smart enough to be able to put a precautionary measure on your experience if not you would have fell to the scam.

News just breaking. Shots fired at a President Trump rally in Pennsylvania. President Trump has been attacked at a rally and it looks like he got clipped on the ear or side of his head by something. He looks to be okay though and the security detail have him extracted from the scene. Hopefully he is okay.

The shooting unfolded as Trump addressed supporters at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.  

Frantic scenes took hold as shots rang out as Trump supporters raced from the event.

As Trump pumped his fist to the crowd, some were heard cheering his name and chanting 'USA' and 'Make America Great Again.'

There is no early information regarding who the shooter may have been or if any arrests have been made at the event.

Gunshots have reportedly been fired at Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania, with the former president rushed off-stage by security staff.

Trump appeared to fall to the ground as he was giving a speech. He was quickly surrounded by armed security and stayed down for around a minute.

He then rose to his feet and put his fist in the air, before being escorted off stage and into a vehicle, and then driven away from the scene.

Video appeared to show blood on his ear as he was taken away.

Republican senator for Ohio, J.D Vance, said in a post on the X social media platform: "Everyone join me in praying for our President Trump and everyone at that rally. I hope everyone is ok."

Sometimes it amaze me to see the level of insecurity in most country today. What could really motivate someone to plan assesination on Donald Trump, could we say the assesin was hired by his political opponent or was it because of personal hatred that could inspired someone to ever think of planning attack on someone like Donald Trump.

Most probably mods will block this message.

You know systems like "All Private Keys are here" etc.

I always hate Bitcoin, I always did hate. I know Bitcoin from the first day, I have Hal's private key in my hand, I spent a lot of years to break ECC etc. (Just one single point behavioral issue problem left, then it will be ready, I shared article about this, but no one understands that level of math, and no one cares actually)

Because, you all are just pawns to make bad people rich. More than 50% of the money in Bitcoin belongs to those "Bad People".

It is definitely not safe, no can say ECC is safe while in 2008 NSA already broke it and after they came with Double ECC lie. All private keys are just a number between 1 and 2^256, it can be hard today, but few years ago 2^64 was like that, you remember. Currently graphic cards are processing quadrillions of data in milliseconds, I do not mention about how fast Quantum Computing is evolving. So it will be sooner or later goes down to 0$.

However I do not have time to wait, because years and years I fought with those "Bad People". I just built a small page, randomly generates a private key and checks all related addresses' balances. If I run this on hundreds of containers, I do not think it will be effective, but I always believed crowd effect. If millions of people run this on hundreds of containers, I am not saying we can extract all private keys, however I believe that we can extract very considerable wallets with millions of dollars and we can manage to damage this sh*tCoin.

You can remove my message, you can ban me, but I won't stop.

You don't have to hate Bitcoin, try to appreciate it, think of how you can gain more knowledge about it so that it will enable you to know the potentials of Bitcoin because if you are knowledgeable about the potentials it hold you will always be grateful to yourselve for devoting your time and energy to acquire the knowledge. Bitcoin is one of the best thing that has happened to mankind not just for the economics capacity but it has helped to improve intellectualism.

Corruption is like epidemic that is more dangerous than the most dangerous disease recorded by mankind, it starve the development of the people and inflict the mind, the reasoning, the character, the sociopolitical and the socioeconomic wellbeing of the people. It's also like insurgent that can hold entire nation captive and any nation that is known for corruption is a fail nation that is encapsulate with darkness and suffering.
Fighting a war against corruption is very severe and expensive because you have to fight the mindset of the people and also the people. Many countries in the world today have everything it takes to facilitate development and  improve the standard of living of the people but corruption has held them captive to the mercy of poverty, diseases and suffering.
