[Hence, I thought it will be wise I share 5 important tips I learnt from this forum within my 4years of actively been here, and they are;]

It's quite a thing of joy that on this auspicious day (20th June) marks my 4th anniversary of been an active member of this forum, which happens to be the largest Bitcoin community in the entire universe, and as such I'm very happy and privileged to have gone this far despite all the challenge I faced while growing from a Newbie to now Hero member of this prestigious forum. Because I'm pretty sure all this wouldn't have been possible without hardwork and dedication, hence, I thought it will be wise for me to share this piece here as an avenue to encourage our upcoming Newbies that if I could achieved this results, they too can do it, but if only they are willing to be dedicated and work hard into actualizing their desired forum success. Because it is actually not rocket science, as this forum has it's tips and tricks, as only for the people who are willing to apply it, sees success. Hence, I thought it will be wise I share 5 important tips I learnt from this forum within my 4years of actively been here, and they are;

1. I got to understand that of all place on the internet, this forum is the best place to get reliable and authentic information about Bitcoin and everything related to it, both mining, knowledge and instant solution for whatever problem you might be facing.
2. I got to understand that obedience to the forum rules is a key factor to be successful here, because just as the forum frowns against plagiarism and the use of A.I for post creation, if you want to be successful, you must abide by this rules.
3. I also got to understand that our manner of approach and self discipline matters a lot in this forum, because since it is a community of diverse people across the globe. Most times, if you aren't self disciplined, you might end up in an unnecessary argument with people. Hence, it's best you learn to over-look certain things or people that might trigger your anger while engaging in forum discussion.
4. I also got to understand that joining a signature campaigns on this forum is not a right, but rather a privilege, and as such, if you are opporturned to be privilege to be in one, ensure to make good use of that opportunity.
5. I also got to understand that receiving merit is not myths as some newbies think, because if you are able to provide solutions to discussion as it affects either the forum or Bitcoin, you are literally see yourself getting merits as a reward for quality discussion.  

My Tips in General to Newbies

1. To be successful on this forum, it is advisable you do more reading than just posting here, because the more you read, the more you get to understand how the forum works.
2. To be successful on this forum, it is only advisable you post only when you have something meaningful to say. Because It is not compulsory you must post even when you have nothing meaningful to say, as you might be tagged a Spammer.
3. To be successful on this forum, especially for those who might be struggling with the use of English. It is advisable you use word/grammar assistance tool like "Grammerly" to aid your writing skills, as it helps to correct grammar and spelling errors.


However, here are a few Contribution I was able to make in regards to promoting Bitcoin and the forum in my 4yrs of been active here.

Teaching college students about Bitcoin

Touching the life of random poor kids with all my 3wks campaign BTC

And I'm currently hosting a Bitcoin price prediction on my local board to celebrate this 4th anniversary  4th Anniversary Bitcoin Price Prediction


Conclusion
In conclusion, I wish to encourage all newbies and upcoming members of this forum that if I and other members here on this forum could achieved success here, you too can do the same, if only you are willing to be consistent and hardworking. And back to our high rank members, I will like to say that just as I have celebrated my 4th year anniversary on this forum by sharing a few Bitcoin to newbies in my local board, if you too can emulate such strategy by gifting newbies in your local board too, it will go a long way to encouraging these newbies. Thank you.. Happy 4th Anniversary to me once again.

[Price Allocation]

It's quite a thing of joy that in few days from today (20th June), I will be marking my 4th anniversary of been an active member of this prestigious Bitcointalk community, and as such I thought it will be wise if I spread some love to those active members on this our local board who might not have been privilege to earn through signature campaign just like me, as a means to encourage them not to give up, because I was once in that shoe and strictly understands what it takes to be actively engaged in meaningful discussion here on this forum consistently and yet no reward. Because for the fact that I am a Hero member today, it simply means I was once a Newbie, and as such it is our duty to keep encouraging them in the best possible ways we can. Hence, I came up with this idea of  gifting out a few Bitcoin to whoever can predict the exact price of Bitcoin on 20th June 2025, at exactly 6a.m Nigerian Time on coinmarketcap. Which happen to be the exact time I created this account of mine (CryptoHeadlineNews). As I shall be selecting the top 3 users with the closest prediction.

Price Allocation

1st  = $20
2nd = $15
3rd = $10


Rules

1. Predict the price of Bitcoin on June 20th at 6:00 A.M (Nigerian Time) on coinmarketcap.
2. Only active members whose account where registered 30days before this contest are qualified to join.
3. Only members from Newbie to Full member are eligible to join.
4. Don't re-edit your prediction after submission
5. You must have been active on both the entire forum & local board in the last 30days.
6. I reserved the right to disqualify any member who I feel is not qualified.
7. Prediction ends on 17th June  at 23:59p.m (Nigerian Time).


Aim & Objective of this contest

1. I checked all through the forum an couldn't find anybody who celebrates forum anniversary with a Bitcoin price prediction, hence, I thought let me be the first to start this.
2. To encourage our upcoming Newbies not to give up, because for the fact that I'm a Hero member today simply means I was once a Newbie.
3. To share a portion of my Bitcoin to those who are not privilege to earn but yet decided to be active on this forum and our local board.



How To Apply

Example;

$100,000

[(i.e Police and EFCC)]

Recently, a thought have been running in my heads, that as a Bitcointalk member, what could be the perfect phrase or context to describe someone whose major source of income comes from this forum, that is by partaking on signature campaigns? That is he/she to be addressed as a Bitcoin entrepreneur? Or is he to be addressed as a Bitcoin influencer or rather a Bitcoin content creator? Because literally I'm sure there are a lot of Nigerians here whose major source of income is from this forum Bitcointalk. And as such, I thought there was a need for me to address this on this thread, by identifying the very right phrase to address members on this forum who earns their major source of income here through signature campaign.  Because to be frankly speaking, I have been opporturned to come across few members of this forum who unfortunately were apprehended by law enforcement agencies (i.e Police and EFCC) and when been asked what they do for a living, they lied while one claiming to be a forex trader and the other claiming to be a Content creator, which eventually we all know that's not the right phrase to describe a member of this forum who makes a full time living while earning from signature campaigns, since the major activity we engage on this forum is "Bitcoin Discussion", and as such,  I thought the right phrase to be used for a user who creates content and earns money on this forum ought to be called a "Bitcoin Discusser", and not a forex trader or  content creator, just as those guys claimed when been asked what they do for a living by those law enforcement agencies e.g the Police and EFCC.

Because, the earlier you know the best way to defend yourself if eventually you happens to come across such scenario whereby you encounter Police or EFCC, and eventually got held of your mobile phone and saw apps like Binance, Trust Wallets and Bybit and tagged you as a Yahoo Boy, when eventually you are a legit hustler, the better for you. Hence, if anybody ask you from today henceforth what you do for a living, is best you answer that you are a "Bitcoin Discusser" whereby you earn money by discussing about Bitcoin on its official forum.



So below is a pictorial representation of the best phrase to be identified as when next apprehended by law enforcement agencies, so as not to be wrongly tagged a Yahoo boy;

Main purpose of this thread:

1. To help our Nigerian brothers to know that Bitcoin participation can actually be taken as a full time time (i.e Signature campaign), and when been asked what they do for a living, they should be able to be bold to tell people that they are a Bitcoin discusser (i.e earn money by discussing about Bitcoin).

2. To be able to let our Nigerian brothers know that Bitcoin discussion on the Bitcointalk forum is not a fraud or neither is it a crime. Hence, they should be proud of it.

3. To be able to let people know that Bitcoin has come to stay, as both a currency and an asset to hold unto future investment, hence, it's wise they give it a try that is never too late.

     



Conclusion:

So in conclusion, I wish to hope that with everything been said above, you all could have understood that there is a big difference between a forex trader, Bitcoin influencer, or Bitcoin content creators, as the true phrase for someone who partakes and engage in discussion on the Bitcointalk forum is meant to be officially called a "Bitcoin discusser" or "Bitcoin Talker".

[HAPPY BITCOIN PIZZA ORIGIN DAY]

So as I just woke up this morning, a thought just came to my mind regarding this forthcoming Bitcoin Pizza Day that been celebrated yearly, that why do we celebrate the day the transaction was made between Laszlo Hanyecz and Papa John's Pizza and yet fail to celebrate the day the idea was initiated and made public, which happens to be today May 18th?  Because we all know that without the idea which Laszlo made public 15years ago on this very day "May 18th" of intending to spend over 10,000 Bitcoins to whoever could afford him a Pizza, either 2 or more, there never would have been a transaction which took place on 22nd May 2010, that is widely been celebrated today. And as such, I vividly think that while we celebrate "22nd May" every year as Bitcoin Pizza Day, we also ought to be celebrating today 18th May when the idea was made public by Laszlo Hanyecz.

So, what have you to say regarding this, I will leave you to share your thoughts about it.

However, HAPPY BITCOIN PIZZA ORIGIN DAY

I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.. like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day.  I like having left over pizza to nibble on later.  

[What "DECEMBER represent for Bitcoin investors]

Yes, it's true that November 2024 was actually an excellent month for all Bitcoin investors, whereby we saw several new All Time High within a interval of days. So just as it ended few hours ago and we are now in the new month of December 2024, a thought have been ringing in my head, to why not write a few acronym which "DECEMBER" represent for members of the Bitcoin community, as an avenue to encourage people to always stick to their Bitcoin investment. Hence, this is what I was able to draft which "DECEMBER" represent for Bitcoin investors.

 What "DECEMBER represent for Bitcoin investors

D – Diversify: Explore different crypto assets, but Bitcoin remains king.

E – Educate: Stay informed about market trends, tech developments, and regulations.

C – Cold Storage: Protect your assets by using secure cold wallets.

E – Evaluate: Regularly assess your portfolio and investment strategy.

M – Mindset: Stay patient and avoid emotional trading during market volatility.

B – Buy the Dip: Take advantage of price corrections to accumulate more Bitcoin.

E – Energy Efficiency: Be aware of the ongoing Bitcoin mining and sustainability debates.

R – Risk Management: Set clear goals, stop-losses, and avoid over-leveraging.


So in conclusion, just as we anticipate for the price of Bitcoin crossing $100k benchmark, lets not forget apply these eight points which "DECEMBER" represent for Bitcoin investors as shown above, as we endeavor to always strive to educate ourselves, protect our assets by storing in cold wallets, evaluate our investment strategy and take advantage of it's price correlation by always buying Bitcoin at the dip. So thank you all, as I welcome to you all into the lovely New Month of DECEMBER 2024.

  

[if Sir Theymos could implement new feature to disable Brand new accounts from posting on the forum immediately they are created until either 24hrs - 48hrs before having access to post on the forum, it will definitely reduce the rate of this new spamming forum method.]

It's obvious for the past 3 days we have had few users spamming the forum, and most especially the Gambling, Bitcoin Discussion and Beginners & Help boards of the forum with same content, of which though moderators have been deleting those posts, these spammers keep creating multiple new accounts and reposting it, hence, spamming our Bitcointalk Telegram SuperNotifier bot, which has always been a useful tool in getting notifications about new thread on selected designated boards. And on that not, I was able to come up with a perfect solution to curb/prevent this menace, and by that I mean if Sir Theymos could implement new feature to disable Brand new accounts from posting on the forum immediately they are created until either 24hrs - 48hrs before having access to post on the forum, it will definitely reduce the rate of this new spamming forum method.
because I was able to investigate all the accounts involved in this new spam and I noticed one thing in common, which is they were all created same day and within the same timeframe.

So what's your view on this? Do you agree Brand New Accounts should be disabled from posting on the forum immediately they got created until 24hrs or what other prevention method do you think can be use to curb this new method of forum spamming?

BITCOINTALK SUPERNOTIFIER

 

SPAMMERS ACCOUNT
You could noticed all accounts were created almost the same timeframe and use immediately to spam the forum

     

So do you agree Brand New Accounts should be disabled from posting immediately after creation until after 24hrs? Let's hear your opinions

Ever since we all saw how BestChange took the forum by big shock with its announcement of closure few days ago, after haven ran a successful 226 weeks signature campaign, a thought have been ringing in my head to why not make a list of some of the longest campaigns ever had and still active on the forum, so as to remind us about some of the beautiful experience and big shocks members of this forum did experience, and as time goes on where able to get over it and moved on. Because i'm sure some members of BestChange who never expected this big shock, may be sad, which is why i have come up with this article to console you all not to give up, because inasmuch as there is life, there will always be hope. So if you don't mind, i will advice you to go grab a cup of coffee, as i take you through the journey listing some of the reputable signature campaigns that people thought were going to last forever, but finally left the forum with a big shock just like BestChange did.

NOTE: Campaigns below 100 weeks are excluded from this list

So in conclusion, I think its high time people tend to understand that campaign will always come and campaigns will always go, but the impact they were able to create while still active on the forum will determine how much members will miss it or not so dearly, and its true BestChange did actually left the forum with huge impact, which is why its departure will never be forgotten. Long live the active campaigns that have chosen to devote time, promotion and funds here. Thanks

However, i will be glad if you can recommend any Signature Campaign above 100 weeks which left the forum and not included in my above list. Thanks

["What is Bitcoin?, Who invented Bitcoin? And What year was Bitcoin invented?", e.t.c]

It's been a while ever since I made a charitable donation that portrays the awareness of Bitcoin in my locality, so just as we began the month of February 2024, which also popularly known to be the month of love (i.e Saint Valentine), whereby people go about sharing gifts to family, friends and total strangers, a thought have been ringing in my head ever since to go spread some love, but due to  procrastination I was never able to execute my plan, not until few days ago when I finally started planning and could finally execute my plan two days ago (i.e 29th Feb) been the last day of the month of February 2024, by heading to a nearby government primary school to go share notebooks to it's pupils within my locality as could be seen in the pictures provided below with a small percentage of the little Bitcoin I have been privilege to earn/accumulate through signature campaign here on this forum since last year and of recent  (i.e Shuffle & Mega) organize by a reputable personality Sir "Little Mouse". Hence, the idea about sharing books to school pupils came to my mind, and we all know how important books happens to be an essential learning material which all pupils need to have for effective learning, but sometimes due to current economic hardship in my country, not all parents are able to afford a complete set of notebooks for all their kids for learning, of which with this little act of kindness of mine, I'm sure it did actually went a long way helping these kids have a semi complete set of learning materials worth having for effective learning.
So while thinking about how to share/donate these notebooks, an idea came to my mind, to not just only donate  notebook, but to do it in a Bitcoin way, and by that I mean instead of just buying ordinary notebooks and donate, I decided to add a little graphic design on the front cover of each of those notebooks with a basic Bitcoin Questions and Answers so as to enable these pupils whenever they have a look at it will be able to have a picturial view of what Bitcoin is all about, and know  some basic questions about Bitcoin, such as "What is Bitcoin?, Who invented Bitcoin? And What year was Bitcoin invented?", e.t.c As some pictures of the edited copies of the notebooks with the Basic Bitcoin Questions and Answers could all be seen below.

   
   
   

Aims & Objective of the project

There are two basic aims and objectives I had in mind when starting this project namely;

1. To spread love with a small percentage of the little Bitcoin I have been privilege to accumulate here on this forum, because just as February happens to be a month of love and Armsgiving, I thought it would be too bad of me if February passed me by without me sharing arms to those in need of it the most.

2. To spread the awareness of Bitcoin in a pictorial form (i.e Through the Question and Answers designed on the front cover of each of the notebooks donated), because just as we all know that a picture is more than a thousand words, I then decided to this time to create awareness in a picturial form, by donating books, pen, pencil and drinks to school pupils, as it all could be seen in the pictures down below.

   

Appreciation & Conclusion

First, I wish to thank Satoshi Nakamoto for inventing Bitcoin, which is the reason why we are all gathered here on this forum, and secondly, I wish to thank the management of the forum, the casino operators and campaign managers for giving us the privilege to be able to earn here on this forum, and including myself who today im able to use a few percentage of my earning to touch lives, and I feel very grateful, as all these would never have been possible without the good works of our reputable and hardworking campaign managers "Little Mouse, Hhampuz and Royse777". It's was indeed a pleasure working with you all.

[HOW IT ALL STARTED]

Greetings to you all, please I am bringing this to your notice after several attempts to verify my KYC on Sherbet and yet I keep getting declined on the basis of KYC forgery, which I didn't do, and I was asked to send a message to their support team via Gmail, which I did, and it's been over 3weeks now, and yet no response. And in process of a forum discussion here, someone suspected I visit their "Live Support" which I did, I provided my Nigerian ID Card, which I have also been able to use to verify my Binance, Luno & Coinbase accounts, but when I tried to upload same ID card on Sherbet, they kept on telling me it was forged and will not be accepted, of which I told the live support that If they keep on declining my document, I will head over to Bitcointalk to make a Scam Accusation about Sherbet, because I provided every document I could ever provide, and yet they kept on saying the document was forged, and only for me to wake up this morning I noticed my account have been blocked as shown below. Hence, I wish to advice everybody to stay away from Sherbet.. They are a big scam casino just like 1xBet.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

This is how it all started, as I was lucky to emerge winner twice on the Crash Contest Weekly Challenge organize my Sherbet of which I was lucky to have won twice $100 and $30 as shown below, which was all deposited into my Sherbet account

   

So few days later after the fund was credited into my account, I gambled some and wanted to withdraw the rest and that was how I noticed I needed to undergo KYC, of which I submitted all the necessary documents, and got rejected the first time that the document was a digital ID, and they needed a physical ID Card, of which I did as told and got rejected the second time, and that was when I came over to this forum to make this statement as shown below on February 3rd 2024

Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5440666.740

So after 24 hours of no positive response, I decided to send a Mail to the official customer support mail as shown below and the O.P of Sherbet casino here on this forum, and I can swear to God, I never got any response from both Gmail and O.P till this day

Message sent to Sherbet customer support Gmail on February 4th 2024

Message sent to the O.P of Sherbet on February 6th 2024

And yet I never got a response from both customer support Gmail and the O.P of Sherbet who has been active on this forum, and yet refused to reply me

So after much deliberation on the Sherbet discussion thread, I was referred by both Sir "panjul07" and "AB de Royse777" to try Live Support, which I did, and was told the reason for my KYC declined was because of suspected ID forgery, of which I told them my ID was legit, of which I was asked for Selfie verification and I did it and it was successful, but for them to verify my account they can't on bringing flamesy excuses not to activate my verification, not until I got upset and threatened to support them as scam if they fail to verify my account in 48hrs, because I provided all documents that was asked, and yet they can't declining, and only for me to wake up this morning (i.e February 25th 2024), I saw that my account has been blocked as shown below.

Hence, I decided to bring this to your attention to help me judge this case, because the same ID Card which I was able to use to verify my Binance, Luno and Coinbase apps, when it got to Sherbet, they rejected it for no solid reason, and scammed me of my $119

[So Who Need A Bitcoin Statement of Account?]

Happy New Year and Welcome to 2024 guys, How are you doing? I hope you all are doing fine at your respective geographical locations. Alright. So there is this update that came into my mind recently, which I thought it will be of great value if I share it among this community of Bitcoin lovers, and that is "How to generate a Bitcoin Transaction Statement". Because, truly we all know that as Bitcoin enthusiast which we all are, this is one tool/feature/tip we all need to know about it, and how to use it, so as to enable us generate a Bitcoin transaction statement at else without stress in times of need. Hence, that brought the need why I came up with this thread, as a step-by-step guide to help whoever wishes to know how to generate a Bitcoin statement of account, showing all inflow and outflow of funds, same way it's been done with in our traditional banking system as a legal entity which could be used in the court of law if in case you happened to be mistakenly accused and been asked to provide a proof of your source of income, then it could be generated as a proof to show how you genuinely earn the money through your participation on our forum weekly signature campaign payment, or elsewhere. Because though in this part of the world where I come from, it's sad that people have this ideology that if a person is seen to be living a good financially free life and yet not have a physical job, that he/she is either into internet fraud (i.e Yahoo boy), of which most cases when investigated always end as false, as we have got digital skill whereby someone could be making huge money weekly while still at the comfort of his home e.g bitcointalk, digital marketing, affiliate marketing, e.t.c. Hence, that gave me the reason to teach those who may never have known that it's possible to generate a Bitcoin statement of account on this thread now, as a legal paper for you to present if in case need for it arises someday in the court of law. Thanks.


So Who Need A Bitcoin Statement of Account?

CONCLUSION

So in conclusion, I'm hereby convince that as lovers and people who uses Bitcoin for day to day transaction, this is one feature that it's a must we all need to know about it and how to use it in times of need, because though this year is making it my 4th year of effectively using Bitcoin for transaction, I must confess I never knew about this feature, not until last month (I.e December 2023), and as such I thought It will be wise if I share it among others who may not know that such feature like this exists.

["Forum Loan Defaulters"]

Greetings everyone here on this forum, I hope you guys are all having a wonderful time. Alright, please there is this pressing issue which I have noticed to have been occurring here on this forum for over a lone period now, and yet it has been on an increasing number which I will like us to discuss & deliberate what possible solutions can we use to address this menace, and I'm sure most of you should be asking what am I taking about, and by that I mean "Forum Loan Defaulters", just as I just came across This thread recently, and the main reason why I created this thread, because if we all keep mute, not only are these defaults likely to damage  themselves, but our entire forum community at large, and as such we all need to come up with best possible solutions to address this menace, in other for lenders to be able to determine who is and who is not eligible to get a loan, so as to drastically reduce the rate at which people default for loan, while we maintain the integrity this forum has always got once day one.


So here are my few solutions to solving the problem of loan defaulters.

1. Do not give a loan to an account that may have been found to have woken up after a very long time:


It's been proven that people buy & sell accounts here on this forum, and I think it's high time people giving out loans consider how active a person has been on this forum before issuing loan to them, so as to avoid future issues of loan defaults.
(E.g imagine a person buys a Hero member accout for $300 and then use that account to take a loan of $1000, that individual must have probably made a profit of $700), and as such they don't mind damaging such accounts with multiple red tags.



2. Do not give a loan to anybody whose wallet address shows he/she has not been receiving  inflow of funds for the past 120 days:


Just as 120 days is a factor to be consider while joining a signature campaign, I highly recommend how much comes in & out of person's wallet who intend to take a loan also be considered, because this is money, and it will be very bad to give loan to someone that have been proven not to have a steady inflow of funds. Because how is he supposed to pay back loan of he is not having steady income?



3. Do not give a loan amount to anyone whose  his/her full 3 months signature campaign payment can not afford to settle such loan:


Imagine a person earning $50 weekly come and asks for a loan of $500 from a lender, because to me, no matter how active such person may have been on this forum, such loan should not be granted, as it is a complete red flag. As the only loan that should be given to people is an amount which his/her Full signature campaign payment could be able to able to pay between 1 or 2 months, because normally nobody will want to be giving out his full weekly payment, and as such if then happens to pay half, then it will be able to take him 2 to 4 months to complete his loan payment.


So that's all I have to say..  

However, What have you to add to this, as your opinion will be very important to those that have been lending loans here on this forum. (e.g Shasan, DarkStar, Condoras).

Thank you & may God bless you all.

Greetings to everyone, please its been 2days now since I started experiencing my forum account getting logged out, and I'm kind of worried, and I really don't know why, and I thought It's better I come share this out here to know of is it a general problem? Or am I the only one experiencing this? Please and please I need your advice, because as a result of that I have just gone to change my password and Gmail, to avoid any such of hack, but I keep experiencing the same situations. So on that note, I will like to call on the attention of some reputable forum members I have always looked up to since day one on possible advice on what to do, and by that I mean in the person of  @ Loyce, TryNinja, Rikafip, Nutildah, Pmalek and lastly Sir Theymos. Thanks in advance as I wait for your solution.

Please Note: I'm a Nigerian and will always remain a Nigerian on this forum for the rest of my life, and likewise will I continue using this Bitcoin wallet address below that I have been using for the past 2yrs on this forum til further notice. Thanks

So, please am I the only one experiencing the forum log out or it's general??

[Secondly]

Just as the title of this thread talk, I just came across this news this early morning saying how our Nigerian banks done send email to all their customers yesterday being Wednesday 21th June 2023, saying no more forex at CBN rate, and I talk say make I share am here make una shoke mouth for the matter, whether abi you don receive any message from your bank and abeg wetin dem talk? because me I'm yet to receive any from my 2 banks (Fcmb & Access).
However, here na the complete gist given below...

Commercial banks in Nigeria have sent out messages to their customers updating them on changes to foreign exchange policy as recently announced by the central bank, regarding the determination of exchange rates, emphasizing that the central bank no longer sets the rate. As customers now need to understand that the exchange rates will no longer be fixed and will instead be determined by the prevailing market rate at the Investors and Exporters (I&E) window. This knowledge empowers customers to make informed decisions and manage their foreign exchange requirements more effectively.
Informing customers about the removal of fixed exchange rates is crucial for managing expectations. Previously, customers may have relied on stable exchange rates set by the central bank for their forex transactions.
By notifying customers that these fixed rates are no longer applicable, banks prevent any false expectations and ensure that customers are aware of the potential fluctuations in exchange rates, which could impact their transactions.
The change in exchange rate determination directly affects customers’ financial transactions. With the shift to market-driven rates, customers can no longer rely on purchasing forex at fixed rates.
This notification enables customers to plan their forex purchases accordingly and consider market fluctuations that might affect the cost of their transactions. This is why they insist that the customers fully fund their accounts “at all times.”

Secondly, same yesterday (21st June 2023), I observed say the value of Naira don depreciates again, as it was sold at value N763.17/$1 at official market rate, while black market both on Binance & Remitano sold almost at the same rate of N765-769/$1 (Abi is that what the unification is all about?)

So what's your opinion on any of these two updates??

["Igebot"]

Greeting to you all my brothers & sisters from another mother. Omo, eh get wetin I just see now for the forum wey just capture my attention & need for me to write this article right now, bcos while doing my  normal activity for forum, I happened to come across one Turkish board wey just brow my mind, and wetin I see na how the Turkish board dey carry help their active forum members grow by giving merits to people wey just dey come up on a very low key wey nobody dey hear about am, wey the least post there get not less than 10merits, wey if na we Nigerians now, one Judas for don go cast am by creating a thread at either "Mata" or "Bitcoin Discussion".

However, I know say we dey try wella for this our board, and I know say our senior men dey carry us along wella, but one thing I go like to talk be say, abeg make we no cast ourselves for this forum, because if you think say we bad, I bet you there are many other boards for this forum wey we no dey even do things up to 10% reach them, but yet they decided to keep theirs on the low key. Because one thing wey make me write this post as I see that thread be say if to say you dey put hear for radio, you suppose don hear say U.K govt don ban our Naija students from bringing their pple over during their studies just bcos one of our own go cast the update say many of our students wey dey go U.K no be bcos of the certificate oh, but na to get permanent work permit, and schooling is the most easiest way. And eh no make sense as such no for happen only if we been dey do our things on low key & not casting our updates anyhow on social media.


Moreover, I know say "Igebot" dey try, "Cryptoprenuerbrainboss" dey try & same as "Charles Tim" dey try for this our local board with the recent monthly challenge wey top posters of the month below 1000merits are awarded merits so as to help us grow in our own little way as a new fresh board.

So how is a link to the thread given below:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5156376.msg62145388#msg62145388

And how I was able to understand the thread was that I was able to use Google translator to carry translate the thread from Turkish to English


Turkish Version

Öncelikle şunu belirtmeliyim by rallier ve teramit'in açtıkları Merit başlıklarının Türk forumuna önemli bir momentum kazandırdığını düşünüyorum ve bugüne kadar foruma katkısı olup halen aktif olan arkadaşlarımıza ekstra bir motivasyon sağlamak için 3. Bağımsız Merit Başlığı'nı da ben açıyorum.

Burada kendinize veya başkalarına ait değerli bulduğunuz postlar'ı paylaşabilirsiniz, her hafta merit vermeye çalışacağım arkadaşlar.

Özellikle multi oyunlarına girmeyen ve bağımsız hareket eden, forumda özgün yazılarla değer yaratan üyeleri davet ediyorum.

Forumda halihazırda aktif olan fakat uzun zamandır merit alamadıklarını düşünen arkadaşlar da varsa eski yeni gözetimi yapmadan onlar da mesajlarını burada paylaşabilirler.

Türkçe bölümünde global forumdaki bazı tartışmaların da üzerine çıkan çok değerli yazarlar görüyorum, onları biraz motive ve teşvik edebilirsek kendi adıma çok memnun olurum.

English Version

First of all, I must state that I think that the Merit threads opened by by rallier and teramit have brought a significant momentum to the Turkish forum, and I am also opening the 3rd Independent Merit Thread to provide extra motivation to our friends who have contributed to the forum and are still active.

Here you can share the posts you find valuable for yourself or others, I will try to give merit every week, my friends.

In particular, I invite members who do not participate in multi games and act independently and create value with original articles in the forum.

If there are friends who are already active in the forum but think that they have not been merited for a long time, they can also share their messages here without the old new supervision.

In the Turkish section, I see very valuable writers who go beyond some discussions in the global forum, I would be very pleased if we could motivate and encourage them a little.

SUMMARY
So in summary, the main reason for this thread be say in whatever we try to do here for this board, abeg make person no cast am, as no be only we Nigerians bad pass, there are other local boards wey worst pass us, but only just that they decide to put theirs on a low key. So abeg make we try be like them, & may God bless us all as we continue to dey work for the betterment and growth of Bitcoin and the forum. Amen

We all sabi this great financial book wey we dey always buy when we want to learn the good current tips about finance and how to create wealth titled "Rich Dad & Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. Few days ago he just speculate for Twitter say the price of Bitcoin fit reach $100,000 before the end of the year, and reason why he bought his first Bitcoin, which I go like make una answer some questions for this forum concerning this, and they go like this,

1. If Robert Kiyosaki, one of the best author in the world wey know all the tips about wealth creation & finance, and yet still dey buy and hold Bitcoin, and yet we still get some people for this our country wey don read him book and yet still dey see Bitcoin as scam? What have you to say about those kind of people? Or abi Sir Robert need to update him book and include Bitcoin as one of the investment asset?

2. What specific price wey you as a person think say the price of Bitcoin fit reach before the end of the year?

(bcos me I no think say BTC fit reach that $100,000, by virtue of its current price now, but fit manage try reach like $50,000 at most)

Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has shared why he loves bitcoin and when he began investing in the cryptocurrency. Expecting to see $100K per bitcoin, he emphasized that the crypto does not need the Fed or government bailout because it’s “people’s money.”

In a recent Rich Dad Radio show, the famous author revealed that he bought 60 bitcoins at $6,000 per coin. He also previously said he bought some more BTC at $9,000.

["Satoshi Nakamoto"]

Today I just seem to be experimenting with the use of A.I, and a thought just came into my head that what if I ask ChatGPT what could possibly be the reason why the famous inventor of Bitcoin "Satoshi Nakamoto" never made himself known to the public and here is what ChatGPT has to say regarding this topic that has been a bone of contention on this forum for over a decade now.

So what have you to say about this, do you agree with ChatGPT or not?

So was ChatGPT able to give any valid point? Or do you have anything contrary to say?

Please share your thoughts on this

[So what are your thoughts on this, do you agree with ChatGPT or not??]

Due to the recent use of A.I in assisting man's job, it just came to my mind this morning that what if I try to ask ChatGPT about which club is liken to win the premier league match this season and this is what I got shown down below..

So what are your say on this, is ChatGPT right or wrong on the 3 clubs it suggested and the reasons given below??

Because by this A.I, you could see it chose "Manchester City" as the first club likely to win the league this season, while, Liverpool stand as the Second club likely to win the league, and Manchester United stands as the third club likely to win the league this season.

So what are your thoughts on this, do you agree with ChatGPT or not??

[AIMS & OBJECTIVES]

Despite the fact that Bitcoin since it's invention has made young billionaires, made transaction fast and change the lives of many who grabbed the opportunity investing at it's early stage, there are still some out there who can't afford at least one square meal a day, which is unfortunate as these people could be found around us in our various communities/cities all around the world. Because I have seen a lot of threads emphasing about "educating people about Bitcoin" but never did I find any going an extra mind on checking or touching the lives of the people they have educated, because of what benefit will it be trying to educate hungry people who can't afford at least one square meal a day? Or are you trying to say we should exclude these people simply because they are poor? No no no... Because I think both the poor & rich deserves the right to know about Bitcoin, because nobody knows tomorrow, as a person's condition in life is never always permanent, of which Satoshi will be very proud of this very act of kindness.
And that's why in this new thread of mine, I decided to take another dimension by offering aides to the less privilege and most especially the poor kids in my community, to put smiles on there faces by offering a Bitcoin t-shirt and a catton of Indomie Noddles worth $19 each to any random poor kids I happen to come across on the streets in my community.

So let's ride on as I explain in detail how I was able to make this little act of kindness successful by touching the lives of these poor kids with all my 3 weeks campaign BTC.

Actually, WinTomato was my very first campaign as a Full Member on this forum, of which we were been paid $25/wk, and I always had in mind to sow seed with my very first campaign payment, of which the idea of "touching lives" came into my mind, and since my first payment wasn't enough, I had to wait longer working on my plans till this very moment that it has been made a success.

AIMS & OBJECTIVES

The aims & objective of this thread were as follows;

1. Touching lives:
I decided to touch the lives of these poor kids because looking at the current economic situation in my country, I knew that there were people out there who needed this BTC more than me, and however, it was actually my first signature payment, so I used it to sow seed into their lives.

2. Promote Bitcoin:  In other for me to promote Bitcoin in my little way, since it is ban in my country, I decided to use these kids who are below the legal age to help facilitate my promotion by offering them a t-shirt with a Bitcoin phrase written on it, such as Bitcoin is real, Bitcoin is not a scam, Bitcoin has come to stay and Bitcoin is a digital currency. (You can have a look at the t-shirts below).

Below are the Bitcoin t-shirt

What I actually did was that  I bought 4 white plain t-shirt and gave it to an artist who wrote those Bitcoin related phrases as you can see above (Bitcoin is real, Bitcoin is not a scam, Bitcoin has come to stay & Bitcoin is a digital currency) which cost me $9 each for the t-shirt and artist fee. And after that, what I did was to  buy 4 catton of Indomie Noddles (One of Nigerian favorite Noddles and breakfast meal) worth $10 each to be given to any random poor kids I happen to come across on the streets, which you can see all the pictures below.

Below are the moment when I gave the Bitcoin t-shirt and catton of Indomie Noddles to poor random kids

MY POSSIBLE FINDINGS

1. I was able to find out that many people out there in the society are suffering, and you don't have to be a Sr. Hero or Legendary Member of this forum to be able to touch someone's life with the little campaign money earn from this forum in our own little way, because it's simply an act of kindness and an act of kindness always get a  bountiful reward.

2. I was able to find out that thou Bitcoin is banned in my country, there was a way I could subconsciously promote Bitcoin into the minds of people in the society, which was by designing a Bitcoin t-shirt and given to kids so that when they wear these t-shirts and walk on the streets in the community they will subconsciously promote in the minds of people that Bitcoin is real, is not a scam, has come to stay and is a digital currency.

CONCLUSION:

In conclusion, you actually need to see how happy these 4 kids who I gave the Bitcoin t-shirt and catton of Indomie Noddles, and I too was also happy, for being able to touch their lives through the use of my campaign BTC. And how I wish I could touch more lives, but that was all my rank and campaign payment could afford, and I am so much grateful to WinTomato signature campaign for making this a success..


So I have just done mine, and now is your turn.. let us touch lives with be our Bitcoin and I'm sure Satoshi will be proud of you. Thanks 🙏

[I created all these myself, and I hope they are cool. Thanks]

In this thread I was able to use some photos, edit, create and illustrate the way we act on the forum, ranging from all ranks but in a form of meme which could at least spicy your day, make you laugh and make you smile, because just like they always said “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. So this tread was created to put smile on your faces and illustrate some concepts in a different way, which I will be describing a bit about each as the list keeps unfolding…


1.   This illustrate the expression on most individuals face when been caught for plagiarism on the forum which is highly prohibited



2.   This illustrate how Hhampuz happens to be to only current user with most active campaigns on the forum and as such the queue anticipating for his/her campaigns always much



3.   This illustrate the most rated campaigns to the least with reference to the size of the ladies



4.   The illustrate the faces and feelings most users keep when they finally not get chosen for a campaign blaming themselves that what could be wrong.



5.   This illustrate that special feelings each users get when they finally receive their first 1 merit, 100 merits and 1000 merits



6.   This illustrate that special joy and feeling that comes to our face when we receive a campaign payment



7.   This illustrate that sad face we ironically keep when our posted thread gets no merit after 24hrs



8.   This illustrate that untold truth most users face in their early stages on the forum struggling to write a good quality thread/post



9.   This illustrate how it has become a habit for most Newbies coming to teach us how to get what they don’t actually have (is’t that funny?.. it is truly funny)



10.   This illustrate how most Newbies think there exist an easy way to gets merits and when they finally noticed its not possible, quit



11.   This illustrate how most Legendary see all Newbies as people who don’t know anything about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, forgetting the fact that one could be a Newbie on the forum and an experience bitcoin lover




12.   This illustrate most rated and least rated campaign on the forum




13.   This illustrate the most worthy campaigns with reference cars (self explanatory)



14.   This illustrate the feelings and faces we keep when the price of Bitcoin rises and falls



15.   This illustrate how the bounty board on the forum happens to be the place with the most users compared to the main reason for the forum



16.   This illustrate the hierarchy of the forum starting from its founder



17.   This illustrate how there exist more shit-post compared to good quality post



18.   This illustrate that face most users keep when moderator deletes their post



19.   This illustrate how Satoshi deserves a salute for his awesome project (Bitcoin)











       

 I created all these myself, and I hope they are cool. Thanks

[Or,]

While having a look at the forum Trust System this morning, this question just came into my mind that "What happens if someone mistakenly gives you a negative trust and dies?" Does the forum have plan B for that. Because we all know that life is as volatile just like Bitcoin, whereby today you may be sound and tomorrow you are either sick or gone, as nobody knows when he or she will ever die. So this is a very vital question everyone needs to know, as it can affect anyone on the the forum irrespective of your rank, and that's the reason why I decided to post it here on the "Reputation" board as this is the only place people having issues regarding "Trust System" and the rest come to lay complain and have there issues resolve. So what actually happens after a tagged has been proven to be innocent and the tagger is seen not to have come online after a period of 120days. Does the forum have a plan B for that? If Yes, please can you educate us more on this, because am sure there are people out there suffering from this, and those yet to suffer the same issue. Because there are certain reasons that may result to someone been tagged a "negative trust" on the forum, which could be weather the person has been noticed to be a scammer or a promoter of scam on the forum, and I was made to understand that accounts with negative trust are always restricted from many things on the forum. So please, what measure is one advisable to take after been tagged a negative trust and proven to be innocent and the tagger is seen not to ever come online again because probably he or she is dead or critically ill. Because your answer will be of great benefits not to just only me but to those facing the issue today and those yet to face it in the future.

Or,

1. Is Negative Trust irreversible?
2. At what rank can someone send a negative trust? (Newbie, member, Full, Sr, Hero or Legend)
3. How many negative trust can one send in a week, month, year or lifetime)



So thank you and God bless you as you help a brother or sister there out to resolve their issue. Thanks
