1  Economy / Economics / What's the Signature Spending Bill all about? on: July 03, 2025, 08:08:51 PM
Quote
House Passes Trump’s Signature Spending Bill, Meeting July 4 Deadline. Reference.

Now this is the second time I am hearing about this very bill but haven't gotten a deep insight about what it's all about and how it affects the US or the average US citizens and those that can be connote as elites.

Now today, I just read that the bill has been passed. I am sure the Americans can give us a better opening into the significance of this bill, what it's about. Am really curious to know.

I will be reading your comments. Thanks!

As humanity, our thoughts and prayers goes out to the families of those related to the India Air plan crash, which killed 241 passengers on board with just 1 miraculously survived.

It's really a horrible incident and scene to behold. I hope investigations are made swiftly to uncover the exact cause of this crash which has left the world in sudden grief.

3  Economy / Economics / Planning on starting any business? on: June 11, 2025, 05:04:43 PM
Just a nugget.

A business idea without proper management plan is one that can be considered to be dead on arrival. Business success revolves around excellent management plan first before capital size. With a large capital chunk into any business that's lacking in proper planning, such business can inevitably collapse, turning into a wasted investment.

But on account of proper management structure on ground with even the small size of capital, it can be sustaining to such business's success in the long ... Experience should be considered as a key asset in business planning and as a key factor it's important to always involve those with experience in the area of business when planning. Never neglect this!
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Signs of an irresponsible gambling parents. on: May 30, 2025, 06:10:49 PM


And so I saw this images somewhere and I was very sick at seeing how some gambler parents would carry along their kids to physical gambling centres to gamble while their kids either seat or stand and watch them doing this. It's just pathetic and highly condemnable. And am urging any parent out there if you have ever done this or anything relative of this action , please stop it. I find it as an abuse on the child's innocence.

And as for physical gambling centres who harbour such irresponsible acts by some parents in their gambling centres, shame on you. This  shouldn't be encouraged. I'll expect such parents be restricted from going in to the gambling shop with their underage.

I wonder what other users here think about this.

5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Did your altcoin walked with bitcoin this week? on: May 22, 2025, 10:15:34 PM
Hey folks. Am sure we all are witnessing what bitcoin price has been doing since this very week, breaking the previous ATH of $109k to $111k after a dip to $77k ....

So I want to ask. Did your altcoin you're hodling made some significant highs this week or I should mind my business. Grin

Well, am asking this because I recall in one of my comments in this board where I talked (warned) about how people should be very mindful of the altcoins they choose to invest in. Because a whole lot of them won't be rising when bitcoin starts soaring to the moon this time. And right now I can see a lot of them sitting dormant even as bitcoin hits a new ATH  Grin

7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Is it worth worrying or giving concern about? on: May 10, 2025, 05:39:11 PM
I was thinking about this scenarios and I wasn't sure if it's worth discussing about or not although it has to do with our privacy and data we give to gambling platforms. I mean where through corporation acquisition a company ownership is then being held under control by a new owner who attitude and sense of honesty and service could be very different from the former owner whom have been running the company over the years.

Have you as a gambler ever got worried about the safety of your data still been in safe hands under a new acquisition of the company by some new owner(s) if they wouldn't give/share your data/information away. As in, questioning the reputation of the new owners and not really about the company itself.

What do you think about this?
8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / The significance of corporation adoption amidst government reserve trend. on: May 08, 2025, 05:01:34 PM
This thread comes on the heels of the reaction and expression of disappointment which I have been seeing from many bitcoin lots as a result of the fowled Arizona bitcoin reserve, and other similar news relating to government bitcoin reserve. Except for Hampshire .

In the recent months I have been reading variants of threads about government backed strategic reserves from the federal level to the state level, even with some smaller municipalities. And it's like we're no more giving attention to the corporation and institutional adoptions that's constantly going on (a recent one was from 21-Capital, in aggressive bitcoin accumulation business after Strategy). And according to a newsletter article I read, which quotes that "corporation adoptions alone can skyrocket bitcoin to beyond $140k. Today corporations hold a total of $756k BTC", end of quote.  $140k in my opinion is even an understatement!

Despite how significant the government adoption of a bitcoin reserve is believed to be capable of shaking bitcoin price to the moon, it's also imperative and noteworthy to subtly remind us that with or without the government reserve's, bitcoin value will still surge with each circle as corporation/institutional adoptions expands.
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / China to dump their US treasury holdings for BTC. on: April 29, 2025, 09:59:16 AM

China plans to dump part of its US Treasury holdings and move into Bitcoin and gold, according to BlackRock.

China held $784.3 billion in Treasuries, $229.6 billion in gold, and 194,000 BTC worth $18 billion as of early 2025.

Selling US mortgage-backed securities could spike American mortgage rates and hurt the global market.

https://www.cryptopolitan.com/china-us-treasuries-for-bitcoin-and-gold/

The reason for this proposed sell off by China must be following to the actions of Donald Trump's in his tarrif war with China. Could this be classified as a retaliative measure from the Asian economic giant?. Such a significant treasury holdings sell for bitcoin can shake the US economy triggering higher rates.

But here's the interesting part of the news:
It means an increase in institutional holdings in bitcoin, therefore increase in bitcoin growth.

More investors will be pilling towards bitcoin as an asset they can trust to hedge their funds against any uncertainty that may arise.

We can anticipate another significant ATH all things being equal.



10  Economy / Speculation / "what if" the bull run delays to 2026 while we're expecting 2025. on: April 13, 2025, 10:28:56 AM
This topic was sparked by this very topic by franky1, if you've read his then you can get a clear shot of mine and what it seek to discuss.

If we're to make a poll we'll find out that many persons still anticipating towards a last bull run for this circle before the bears, with expectations projected on or before the end of 2025. And this expectation even after a $109k ATH reached is hinged on historical data of past bitcoin bull run circles.

But base on current realities with the global economy and addition to tarrif wars that have further weakened and distorted the financial market. And with Trump not stopping to amaze us with his economic policies that have rather marred the market than uplift it, and it doesn't seem he's going to stop at anytime with more new policies this year, which we don't know what would be their impact.

Do you think that with the current realities, the bull run history will definitely repeat itself? And peradventure, we don't get to witness a bull run to a new ATH by the end of this year 2025, would you still be expectant for year 2026 and why?
11  Economy / Economics / Relevance: in learning from failures and not only successful people. on: March 11, 2025, 05:05:39 PM
How do we see this. The idea of not taking advice from people who tried so hard in life and failed, and with those who were once millionaires but for some wrong decisions and mistakes they made led to the end of their wealth, making them go broke.

Rather than the popular notion that if you want to grow and be successful then learn and take advice from persons you want to be like (who are still on money). How about having to learn also from both the successful and failure as an approach to ensure a right solid path to guarantee financial success.

Having to learn about the mistakes and getting to hear their experiences that led to their failure (poverty after being rich previously) could be helpful. For not having the results (wealth) doesn't make them not have relevant experience to learn from to avoid making yours. You could learn in 5 minutes what someone used over 5 years to gain as experience in failure.

12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / The Trump season instead of altcoins season.lol. on: March 02, 2025, 07:37:44 PM
Maybe, just maybe we can be sure now that the altcoins season isn't over yet or probably we're just about getting started. I think there's still time for those altcoins lovers to to get some bags but before that make sure to do your research. Shitcoins may not follow in the season

Trump is kind of trying to give altcoins a different outlook. Imagine an altcoin season in the name of Trump. What bag will you be holding?

Here's a good news and a massive win  for all Ethereum and altcoins investors . Though is somewhat of an acknowledgement which to some persons isn't something that much but it's anything to be happy about as a leadway to approval.

Any person dey for here wey get beta knowledge concerning this newly launched (abi to be launched) Naira-pegged stablecoin wey dem call cNGN. Because the said cNGN stablecoin be like e dey different from de e-Naira wey our CBN been done carry body launch sometime ago.

Maybe with this going forward we fit dey see some positive changes on crypto policies for we country wey no go tight us the users as we experience today.

This is so heartbroken and scary at same time, after a beautiful holidays season.
Indeed, it's time we do take some seconds in our praying time to pray for California and the people. Our little prayers could go a long way in divinely helping the situation while the authority do their very best to see that this wildfire doesn't go beyond where it has reached already.
May God answer us quickly!
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin Reserve: what if the BRICS gets ahead of the USA. on: January 07, 2025, 09:40:56 PM
In the past weeks we have heard  in the news about Donald Trump intent to make bitcoin a strategic reserve for the USA and also how the US Fed Reserve chair Jerome Powell had to make a counter statement against Trump's purported move by saying the US Fed reserve isn't allowed by law to hold bitcoin as reserve (subject to congressional ratification)

As the days locomotes more and more countries are considering taking same decision as El Salvador, and it's as though some of these countries are waiting for a major influential catalyst like the US before keying in. Hence, i was contemplating within about how should the BRICS go ahead before the US to adopt bitcoin as reserve while Trump is waiting for Congress validation.

Would it make a much positive drive on bitcoin price as we anticipate the market would be with the US? And at the level of the geopolitical-cum-economic war (we all know what's happening there between these two poles) what do you suggest could be the implication of such phenomenal action on the BRICS for nations who are already considering on adopting bitcoin? For what will this mean for the US!
18  Economy / Economics / Stop waiting, It's time you start... For it's another new year again! on: January 05, 2025, 03:04:20 PM
It's a new year again, and I think it's high time people start to think on starting out small with that business, that investment and plans. You mustn't start that business in a big way before it seems appealing to start. In as much as there is a purpose to that business then you've to start, and aside the capital size, you also have the mental capital and human resource in achieving plans then you just have to start somewhere.

Set plans, make resolutions, your goal setting should be straightforward and none ambiguous and also kickstart with determination because when there is determination then there will surely be a way. Peradventure you fail on starting, then get back and replan again and restart, because that's how many CEOs we have today were made.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / TOMARKET TOKEN: Am just curious! on: December 20, 2024, 05:12:27 PM
Am just curious to know if anyone made anything tangible from this recent concluded tomarket airdrop in the telegram mini app?

Am asking because a friend of mine that took this particular airdrop very serious got only 49700 tomarket token, and when he sold it, it came out only $1.20. I am just wondering how much those that got only 8k, 9k might got, because if someone that got up to 49700 can't make up to $2, how much those that are far below will get.

Is there anyone here that did this tomarket airdrop that got anything tangible, or tomarket shared only dust to their participants?
20  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Continue holding, 2025 nah bigshot for bitcoin holders. on: December 15, 2024, 07:44:07 AM
Better long time never pass all the jubilation and noise way been full everywhere about bitcoin getting to $100k don dowse down, like now now the $100k don look normal for everybody eyes after the whole anticipation right from the beginning of year. With the new $104k ATH plenty investors no fit hold body, plenty of them rush sell collect profit sharperly, some even sell all with the fear say it fit fall to price wey go make them lose their gain.

But for those of us way still the hodl good portfolio inside bitcoin make I share some information way make strong una mind to continue the hodl as we the enter the year 2025  because the year seams brighter and uprising for bitcoin than whetin we done experience for 2024. 2025 nah year way me I the see say it go be an institution adoption year for bitcoin and everywhere go just good.

After Pennsylvania  don sharperly the make bitcoin as their reserve, Texas don rush join am for back the do same with the intention to hold am for 5 years and una know say for the US na Texas nah get the highest number of miners so make una just imagine whetin the next few years go look like for bitcoin.

Even Japan say them no wan carry last, them don consider the idea of strategic reserve in bitcoin them the reason to convert part of their foreign exchange reserve to bitcoin hopefully by 2025 and even for Canada, Vancouver one the finest city for Cana... Them don propose to make their place a bitcoin friendly city which means say bitcoin activities there no go get any restrictions you fit buy and sell any legit goods and services inside there without fears of authority to gbab you like it be for our Naija.

So as bitcoiner, just consider all these informate and reason whetin go be the future of bitcoin in 2025 and beyond and advise yourself with your bitcoin hodling.

The source of all this info nah from the daily newsletter I  dey receive from the wealth-mastery.
