It's so much relevant for topics like this to be discussed on a public space because such topics are crucial in every union. There are certain decisions you as a person may find difficult to make which makes you seek guidance from others and this topic is one of such. If you didn't find relevance in it, then what made you to open the thread?

I'm very sure it is because you believed there's something you may find interesting that's definitely why you opened it when you came across the topic.

Well! Well!! Well!!!

I would have tried opening another thread but I think with all these things you guys have said, I think it will now lead to the newest and ultimate question I think I should ask so we'll now talk about the future. Before now, like we all have said no one bloody hell predicted that Bitcoin will go up to it's current level and now it is, right before our own eyes. With all this being seen and successfully witnessed, the most important thing is what do you guys think will happen to Bitcoin in about 5 years from now?
Is it going to be double it's current price or it's gonna drop so badly?

Seriously, I can't thank you all enough for your contributions and words. I believe I now know what must have gone wrong that warranted the topic being locked.

I think it's as the reason of me not replying to the thread and I've learnt it in the tough way.

Earlier today, something I think wasn't so necessary happened that got me confused that I kept on having one question in mind which was "why?". I still can't place my fingers on the reason and that's why I had to come to the beginners and help board so the oldies in the game can help me by maybe telling me what was wrong and why it happened.

So today I logged in on the forum to see how I can contribute to posts, reply and also quote and see how my topics were and that was when something caught my attention. After writing what I wanted to reply with, I noticed I couldn't drop the write up. At first I didn't understand why not until I noticed my topic had been locked by an administrator. I was so confused because to me, everything was okay and there weren't anything that would have led to an admin locking the topic. After some time, I thought maybe it was because I still didn't have enough knowledge about the forum and how the affairs were handled, thats why I was confused and the only way I can get the answer I was looking for was through the beginners board. I believe there's no harm in asking for knowledge and wanting to know what you don't know and thats the reason I wrote this topic. The more conversant members should please help me with what I must have missed and please explain to me what was wrong with the thread so I'll not make such mistakes in the future. Below is the link to the thread, and I'll really really appreciate if it's looked into.

Hell yeah they'll be so disappointed that they made sale then when the price is over $100k now. This is just a testament that anything can happen at anytime in this world we live in. During the time Bitcoin dropped to #8m  (Nigerian naira) a lot of people said thats it. The true nature of the coin was beginning to show and that would be the end of the world's most popular cryptocurrency. So many people sold what they had while some were bent on accumulating till the big bang came. It's really funny I'd say because just like the biblical illustrations, I know those persons that sold theirs must really be gnashing their teeth right now.

Of course I'd agree with you that the rich have a massive edge over the poor in matters concerning investment. How do you expect someone who can barely get three complete meals a day to go about gaining good ground in the Bitcoin market compared to the bourgeoisies who can easily get what they want even to the extent of accumulating Bitcoin. Trust me, it won't be shocking to discover or find out that the major persons that gained from the rise of Bitcoin from the year 2023 till date are the rich set of persons because they must have accumulated it when it was much cheaper. Even when opportunity would rise in most cases, the poor will barely seize it because of the low purchasing power or capacity they have. It is difficult for a poor man to buy 1 Bitcoin for 25 million naira and thats like about a year ago but that will be super easy from a rich man's point of view.
So that's it....... Their economic class influences their ideas and perspectives so the rich will definitely have advantage over the poor.

PL 25/26: MANCHESTER UNITED v CHELSEA

HOLA MOI FAMILIA 👋

We're used to looking for the next coin, breaking charts and poudering on matters of the society. But this weekend (Saturday), a different and special kind of speculation is on the table. One that has an history, long, dramatic and even thrilling as the rise of Bitcoin itself. Ladies and Gentlemen, this isn't just about a rising and falling scheme but a one in a million classic football clash: Manchester United v Chelsea with the reds at home.

NOW LET ME SAUCE IT UP WITH A COOL ILLUSTRATION

Let's think of it to be this way:
Manchester United: The OG, the real deal, the Bitcoin of the football world, Big and Massive, historically dominating in a way only a few can touch their legacy. Although lately they have had some major challenges and swings which has caused Fear, Doubt and Uncertainty in their community (Fans). Their current setup under Ruben Amorim their Portuguese manager feels like a new policy implemented but has got the investors and traders (Gamblers) asking if it will help them gain stability. Their recent 3-0 loss to their noisy neighbors, Manchester City was a brutal dip , and now they are looking to show the market (the world) that they haven't lost their value.

Chelsea: The Altcoin with massive backing and continues supply of capital. They have been through a rebrand (after changing almost their full squad) and are now running a new system under the management of Enzo Maresca. Their performance and form is less about historical glory but their rapid growth and aggressive rise to the top.
They at their own end have also faced their ordeal after a recent loss to German kings Bayern Munich in their first Champions League match of the season and a draw with English side Brentford show that even a well-funded and capitalized project can hit unexpected resistance. But forget not that their roster is packed, with tokens (players) like Alejandro Garnacho, who is now playing for them and will face his old club for the first time.
JUICY RIGHT?!

LET US SEE HOW THE WEEKEND TURNS OUT,  WITH CHELSEA HAVING THE HIGHEST WINS IN THEIR LAST 5 MATCHES AND HAVING A BETTER AND MORE STABLE FORM IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE.

DO NOT FORGET TO GRAB SOME POP CORN COZ YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO MISS ANY OF THIS MIND-BLOWING SHOW DOWN BETWEEN THE RED DEVILS AND THE PRIDE OF  LONDON, THE BLUES

Well believe me when I say you've said a lot and not just that but with your words it shows how much of a diplomat you are. This is exactly what I expected — a healthy, intelligent and well constructed debate with clear facts.
Actually many of the the theories we see are those ones online but to some extent, I think these theories match. Let's majorly discuss about the flag Niel Armstrong pinned of the moon for instance. Initially we're told that there's no oxygen in space so what I still don't understand is where did the air that moved the flag come from. I believe we all are conversant with this which I'm saying and as I'm still a newbie I am not able to drop photos here without it being just a link.

These whole things have made humans to doubt the whole moon landing theory. Now they say that the first man to travel to space was Yuri Gagarin who couldn't land on the moon because his mission was originally to the Earth's orbit and all of a sudden, the Soviets stopped every plans for Yuri to continue with the mission to space because of fear of something happening to him.

Is there something we're missing here? What were they scared of that will happen to him or was it because they sensed that the whole progress they had made would later lead to toxic competitions?  It's tiring and trust me, I really love to know about these things because if we don't get a solid explanation behind all this, then generations after us will still continue to live on with these theories.

This whole matter dey so long and very clear considering the agreements wey Mr President and Governor Sim get. The whole story just tire person because till now me no see reason wey make oga Presido suspend governor because he gets outstanding with him predecessor. Now the government dor spoil for Governor Sim Fubara hand because from the directives wey Mr President give, na Oga Woke wey be Minister of FCT so nai Governor Fubara go dey take directives from and him no go fit come for second tenure again because e dey too clear say oga Wike no go allow am as to him, he boy dor dey grow feathers so him go definitely wan show am who be boss.

The prayer be say make the remaining years wey Governor Fubara go use rule go smoothly for am because to me o, even the Sole Administrator wey just hold power for months go dor set him pass full ground and if care is not taken, the doings fit later stress Gov Fubara.

It's very thoughtful of you to have said it would have been better if AI was considered to be granted the management of public funds as it is certain they'll be transparency. But there's be something you need to put still into consideration and this is not forgetting the fact that the algorithm used to create the Artificial intelligence is written a human and it can be manipulated if the need rises.
Of course it will be a good development if the world evolves to the level you're hoping for but same time, it can still be manipulated by the selfish and greedy people who holds the authority on those aspects.

You cannot believe in God and then start giving birth to children when you are not financially stable. No you don't
Yes the Bible said "go forth and multiply" but do not forget the same book stated that "whoever will not work, let him not eat" which means you should be ready to work even if or when you believe in God. God isn't just coming to feed this children when you don't make any effort to improve on yourself.

You giving birth to a child when you know the current state the economy is not so favourable and your purchasing capability isn't enough just because you believe in God is like bringing the child into the world to suffer. You shouldn't even think of doing that my friend

There was a day my had a deep conversation with my mom and we talked about children. My response was " I'll never give birth to a child unless I've got my home well arranged, capable to sort out my bills without stress, stable source of good income and got 10 million naira somewhere without any plans attached to it. Then will I think of birthing a child because I can't give birth to someone into this economy without being prepared. I can't afford to stress my child and that's just it.
My parents did everything good to see I got a nice life and I want to do even more than that for my kids so for the greater good, they should wait till things get better to my taste.

Well I think it all works collectively in a relationship most especially marriage. Yes of course, personal character and support is crucial but they all work same way as sex. You can't tell me you would be okay marrying or settling with a partner who knows not much or doesn't see intimacy as valuable in a relationship (marriage).

You say it like it to so so easy forgetting the fact that before such things happen, there is definitely a hidden agenda. The reasons for genocide might not only be for dominance but to control the economy of the weaker state.
Do you think a President of a nation will see an opportunity to lift his nation's economy and not grab it?

The level of dependency which certain economies have on other economies is majorly what develops their underdevelopment

Thank you for understanding. Literally thought things will be same as the meta or other social media spaces. Well it's a good thing finding a space where you can finally be free and relate to everyone and everything.

That my friend is exactly what I suspected. The thought of being behind forced the US to fake the first moon landing just to look like they were ahead.

Well I'll reserve my comment because of xyz reasons.

If someone had told you during 2015 that Bitcoin will exceed over $100k  one day and you should invest in it as at then. Would you have believed?

My 9ja family I throw salute o

Today I will hastily mention two things we all do at a point in time while investing in cryptocurrencies and even other other online platforms. As y'all are Nigerians, it is better we share this knowledge because none is waste (knowledge I mean).

So quickly, let's go into these tiny things we don't even know are mistakes we make when carrying out online investments.

1. Invest in a platform you trust: Most times we invest in platforms we don't even know about. Maybe we've got the information about how the platform has been paying people and in the process, we make decisions that might end up not letting us sleep well at night. You see there's something about money which is wherever you keep or put it, that place automatically is where your mind will be. So investing your money in a platform or coin you don't trust is like giving your goat to a lion to protect for you. You can never be at peace with yourself and even your spirit. Make sure you make proper finding, you know enough about the coin or platform and you trust it very much before you invest in it with your money.

2. Emotions in business: Everyone is human and yes we all get emotional sometimes. But the moment you mix emotions with money or business, from that moment you suffer. Because everyone is doing this, I should do it also or if I don't do it then someone will think or feel somehow.
You should learn to make up and follow your mind even if it will require you to be hard sometimes because you're here to make profit. It's just like mixing pleasure with business because the moment you let your emotions get the best of you, you will find it difficult to say no to some people and most times we follow this feeling of not wanting to disappoint somebody and invest in the wrong platform.

So before you make any decision concerning or involving your finances — scrutinize it without involving your emotions and in your head, see how it will play out before you hit the green button.

Sorry, it was an error. Was actually trying to put the year 1969.

I am a Political Science student bro, so I spend most of my time making findings concerning development of states, the theories of the state and the different modes of production.
Hearing you mention Lenin reminded me of a lecturer indeed.
