Not now, it already has at the point of creating or registering an Opay account. The reason why phone number is mostly used at first, is simply because it is easy to memorize/call for anyone who ask for your account number. And also, memorizing a new account number might not be very easy as one's phone number. Concerning the charges placed on it, I have come across it but haven't really given it much concern. I will look into it.

It is a misconception most high-ranking members of the forum do have about newbies, and I won't lie you, I am one of them, but time and experience let me know and realize that I don't own the internet, and I am not the only one having access to information too. Due to the fact that majority of newbies are totally new to the crypto space. The forum is more like a number one place to acquire proper knowledge needed in the space. The fact remains that most newbies already have extensive knowledge about Bitcoin and other crypto currencies even before joining the forum.

IMO, I believe that the moderators always have a reason for what they do, and when it comes to the links of post you provided, they are more of societal matters, despite the term cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin is used there. It is more like talking about a technology that is already existing with people who knows about it and introducing same technology to people who are hearing it for the first time.

I make use of the forum BitcoinTalk SuperNotifier V2, of which I enjoy its functionality, wanting to reply to a board on my list of a new topic created in the board I am watching, copying the link to paste it here, I received an error message with the below image;


Here is the link to the post;
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5551627.msg65621791#msg65621791

I have experienced this on several occasions, and I want to know if I am the only one having this experience or with others.

Does this happen to other members of the forum or am I just the one having this experience or is it a bug?

OP, from the list you make, protecting your investment or capital na be the coco.

Yesterday, person come my office to retrieve the password to em NGO platform account (somehow, related to crypto), em say em no save the password to em device, and em no write am down. Now, make we do password reset, the platform no gree send am the reset link to em email. Imaging this kind situation to a Bitcoin wallet, way hold even if na 1 Bitcion or 0.01 Bitcoin, and the person no come remember the password em use, and em no fit reset password. That person fit go do the unthinkable, cause na big money de inside that pause.

The beautiful thing of crypto market, na the responsibility to take proper care of your keys, and because of this same responsibility, most people fit go make mistake loss everything them done gather.

10 years gone, and 10 years to come, everyone way take the decision of investing into Bitcoin now go definitely rejoice at the later time.

Thank for this.
Locking the thread already.

My best advise I can give to a newbie is;
Invest with what you can afford to lose (when it comes to altcoins), while with all you have when it comes to Bitcoin.
Never take loan to invest in cryptocurrency (Bitcoin or altcoins).
Always invest for the long run (Bitcoin).
When you have succeeded to invest in any crypto asset (Bitcoin mostly) take off your attention from it, to avoid wanting to withdraw when the market is down or take profit when it is not due.

This came to my mind to know if there is a section of the forum where one can create a thread to carry out some tasks before publishing the finished work, like a quarantine section, where the testing and trials are first done and the finished work is brought out for all to see or just start with the work until it finishes in the appropriate section of the forum.

If there is, I will be very glad to be directed to such section. Thanks.

This made me create this post, because I feel like there are members in the forum that are here 24/7, and they take the forum as their workplace. For instance, some members who makes up to 20 to 40 posts a day, and are active members in the forum, going round, creating things that can be of use to the forum and its members. One who is not dedicated to the forum might find difficulties getting the benefits available on the forum, and to get those benefits, one has to dedicate their time/efforts to get better results/returns from the forum.


I have been trying to follow these steps, but its not that simple to get along with. Can you please help make provision of that general boards of the forum to learn how these posts making goes.

Greetings to my fellow Nigerians in the forum. I believe everyone is well.

As a workman/woman in Nigeria, we know that the value of our currency is not increasing, rather almost on monthly/year basis, we experience devaluation, and because we have acquired the knowledge and seen the importance of working for jobs paid in dollar over naira, we take the online form of jobs/activities more seriously.

Knowing the value and appreciation of Bitcoin, the forum offers different activities that pays in Bitcoins. This makes me want to ask, is it ideal as a Nigerian to take the forum as a fulltime workplace, with the following reasons;

1. Payments are in currency(ies) having more value to naira when converted;
2. There are numerous activities one can render and be paid in BTC/USDT;
3. Payments are made on weekly basis or even daily as the case maybe;

So, do you take the forum as a fulltime workplace and why?

Would like to hear you views over this, thanks.

I was not yet at the stage of looking for job before knowing about Bitcoin/cryptocurrency.

I heard about Bitcoin many years ago and that was when I finished my secondary school, during holidays. I had this feeling deep down in me that gone are the days where man must work under the sun on daily basis to meet up with life expenses (a feeling that can't be expressed, if you know what I mean). This mindset stayed with me for a period of time before I started doing lots of hunts when I got my first phone. Though at the point of this mindset growing up in me, I haven't gotten to know about crypto currency or anything related. I started with Facebook giveaways, and from there I started seeing some crypto ads (bounty hunts/airdrops), until a childhood friend talked to me about it, that was when we started the chase. Though I backed down for some years (mostly hear in the forum), but I knew I have gotten a place that no matter how long, I will return here, because of the results I have gotten and seen, with no single doubt of the unlimited possibilities, and no restriction/barriers.

When I first received my earnings, I had some fulfillment deep inside me, my mindset has truly come into reality. Ever since, I knew I had a place in the internet that can be a surviving place for me, and here it is.

Well, we all know that under aged gambling is bad, and for such winnings to come, the parent(s) is/are aware of such activities been going on for a certain period of time before an outcome of a big win, of which was also communicated to the parents.

There's a saying, train up a child in the way they should grow, and when they are old, they will not depart from it. If this principle sticks with such a family, then the parents are either in the gambling system, or they approved such acts.

For me, I am not a gambler, but for a big win as you said, I will let use of my ID, otherwise, the child can look for someone else to make bargains with at the end of the day.

I see your point, but one thing about investment is that what you put in stays in, and you need to have something that keeps you going without touching what has been kept in for the long run. It is okay to stop adding into the investment plan for the reason of needs, but don't take off from the investment if the need is not very crucial and necessary. Taking some discretion in one's investment is very crucial and here in the crypto industry, we know very well the importance and power of patience.

This is a very interesting puzzle and an educative one as well. I encountered this from a friend who had something similar to this, having sent some BTC out of his wallet, for about 24 hours, it didn't reflect back in his wallet and was not found in the destination. After checking all through and wondering why (thinking a wrong address was used), I then observed that at that moment there was high demands for transaction fee from the network, and the transaction fee was reduced by my friend when sending. After 24 hours, we finally saw it arrived to its designated address.

Banks like Opay and em kind no de charge person anyhow, instead, na you as a customer go de receive interest for those transactions you de do using their platform. If not for the government way been put one kin regulation for their body, way make them come de put charges for transactions, nothing of charges been de follow their own services.

When e come to this crypto side, e de safer if we put our money or crypto assets for wallet, so long as we know say we never wan use am, leaving our assets for exchange no too de safe, because them wan de like native banks, though in a higher level of usage. These exchanges (CEX) de prone to attacks, if not for the cases say exchanges like Bybit, Binance etc. done get the finance and reputation, dem for done fold and take off due to the attacks way done hit them.

So, I go say, e de better to keep our money for wallets, and move them to exchange when we want convert am to our fiat currency. Using open source wallet, na be the safest wallet to use.

At that period of time, the use of Bitcoin would/could be mainly on trading, holding as a store of value, and there will be lots of implementation of different services that will take the use of Bitcoin on daily basis. 2140 is a very far time from now, and as such, the possibility of creating a way for the physical use of Bitcoin could be brought to reality. As far as it could be, so are the unimaginable possibilities under shadowed.

All answers that are provided are different opinions and views of people. The future has the right answers to all questions directing to it.

When we look at the world today, any bank account that has gotten to the stage of retirement is an account that has little to no idea on crypto currencies. It is announced that President Trump prepares to sign an executive order to allow retirement accounts to take part in investing into cryptocurrencies. These accounts are said to be about 401k accounts, going beyond the traditional investment of stocks like gold and its likes.

If this order is signed, what will be its effect on the market?

If the price falls to such level, that is a bad signal, and something when wrong with the protocol of Bitcoin. It will badly affect big investors and even the little hodlers will also be affected. Bitcoin has come this far to go to such a low price. It will be difficult for it to rise again, cause the public will be scared of as it might not recover from such deep. The entire crypto community will face criticism from those who never invested in it.

If we see it at $50k, there trust level will even drop, because it is not supposed to reach that level again, considering its current price mark in the market.

That is true, and the possibility of Bitcoin giving us a mind-blowing price break before the end of this month is possible. If the price can really reach $125k before month end, the tendency of touching the $150k will be attained by the ending section of the year. Though, this all maybe price speculations, be there are some glimpse of reality so blur to properly visualize.

The rate of accepting the legal use of Bitcoin is getting wider spread these days, though, some countries still have their ban/restriction on it, but these all will die down, because it has been publicized that Banks tells their big investors/shareholders to put some of their funds into Bitcoin, as it is a good form of investment that yields well in a long run.
