1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Donald trump's altcoins hype on: March 03, 2025, 09:09:12 PM
I believe everyone saw the tweet that the acclaimed Bitcoin loving president Mr Donald Trump posted not long ago about altcoins supposedly having a massive increase that no one has ever seen before. The tweet was crazy everywhere and some say it was what actually gave the market a green that same time but am quite interested on the negative that this would have also brought to the crypto space because I know for sure that many newbie and even some old-timers would have gotten a strong instinct and approach towards holding some altcoins but my question is:

HOW DO YOU KNOW THE EXACT COIN AND NOT SOME SHIT SHOW

Believe me with the reaction I have gotten just yesterday about people calling me on phone saying they want to buy some altcoins is just surprising because thats how many crypto enthusiast end up making mistake because the sweet story get stuck on their head and they forget all about the risk management involved in holding altcoins even Bitcoin if you have the wrong approach of getting millions just overnight of buying because that's how most people are currently thinking.


please everyone should be guided especially the newcomers because buying Bitcoin or any altcoins isn't some kind of get rich scheme cause you could end regretting and worse losing your assest with the wrong motives
2  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Why I think affiliate marketing is a scam on: July 21, 2024, 08:08:13 PM
We are all familiar with affiliate marketing and majority of us know that most people go into digital marketing just to scam others
Brands or companies won't pay anyone just for posting a review video of their products, it doesn't work that way
But most affiliate marketers claim that they know how to millions just by posting a review
This is a lie, all they want you to do is buy their courses or whatever they are advertising to you
They try to convince you that you can make millions within a few weeks, they call figures that they don't have in their account
There's no digital marketing course out there that can make you rich overnight.
The only way you can get paid for posting a review for a brand is if the brand posts your review videos and it is a view of 30 seconds or more from people, it doesn't stop there, after somebody views and makes a purchase of the product you advertised in the video, only then will you be able to get paid by the brand, you can't get paid by posting review videos only.
This are things that they might not tell you if you are not enlightened
I hope this helps
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / The power of HODLing BTC on: March 27, 2024, 01:02:30 AM
So I just saw this on platform X and it really got my attention because when I reasoned it, it's actually quite crazy but real too and many Bitcoin HODLers today don't really know the power and benefits behind this particular thought of action.

Here is the link from 0.20$ to $70k

HODLing of Bitcoin is probably the most talk and deliberated matter on the crypto space and even here in the community. And it's funny how many people have turned a blind eye to this and some persons are feeling that Bitcoin price today is too big to buy well the thing is that everytime is a good time to buy, that's if you are a long term holder and I for one, am shocked at seeing how Bitcoin has been held for almost 14 years now although I know they are still some folks still HODLing and even planning to keep for longer terms maybe when Bitcoin reaches $200k to $500k before they actually sell off.

I think there's probably a reason why they say patience is virtue and it's something most humans don't have and in the case of Bitcoin journey, it's something that everyone needs to actually achieve that financial boost goal in the HODLing of our Bitcoin.

So I bring this for some folks to actually share atleast boost our spirits in the HODL journey especially those newbie to the space, that if someone out there is still HODLing why not HODL?.

Note:: remember to keep your coins safe too that's base on the preference of a non-custodial wallet or cold wallet if you are HODLing for long term
4  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Supposed held binance representative excuse custom custody on: March 26, 2024, 11:42:45 PM
Although I won't lie because this is actually quite funny for me when I saw this new about the binance representative that were official announced held or should I say detained escape from the government officials claiming they have possession of these personalities in their custody.

At first I don't really know what to think but I thought I should share so we all can give our opinion on this and how the government is really taking this fight against crypto exchange in the country to the next level

Please share your thoughts binance reps don twama😁😁
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / 100% percent scam airdrop don't get involved. on: March 13, 2024, 05:23:30 PM
So recently there have being massive wave of awareness and invitation on going on telegram and God knows where else about the particular airdrop IRON which for some reason and surprise have such high value when you check out the price value listed on trust wallet.

Note::that's the Link for the airdrop please just for reference sake
Code:
https://t.me/IRONStablecoinAirdropBot?start



So the airdrop is actually a scam and when users try to actually swap it on their trust wallet instead of them getting same results as promised, they are ripped off of their money as fee Instead. The whole thing will look so legit for a newbie in the crypto world because they dropped a video link which even convince the participant of this airdrop to believe that they can actually claim the IRON worth the price of dollar that is displayed on their trust wallet.

Supposed link for the actual swap of the coin

www.IRONswap.wiki

Please we should all be careful out there

The bull season is here and they are more and more of such projects and scam ongoing so we should all be careful out there so that we won't fall victim cause of our self greed and quest for actual free money because their is no such thing as FREE MONEY ANYWAY
6  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Binance P2P transaction (vendors fault or app settings?) on: November 03, 2023, 05:05:09 AM
So this is an experience or hunch about a friends transaction on the binance P2P feature, although it's  quite confusing from one end but if it's possible,.then this will serve as heads up and guide to other forum users here also using binance exchange to avoid such silly mistake to ever occur to them.


Above are the two possible reason for me creating this thread. The first image shows a binance P2P transaction page where the currency is actually filtered in USD then the second in the actual NIGERIAN NAIRA (NGN).

So a very good friend wanted to sell some of his coins and  this would probably be the second or third time of him actually using binance P2P so he called and asked me on what to do, of which I guided him for the first time and he said to me he has successfully traded and because I was far from him, I could only guide him through WhatsApp, and since he is literate enough, I taught he totally understood the whole steps and he told me the trade a go and I didn't bother asking him the price of the sold amount because it's kind of personal.

So the whole problem started one faithful day when we both sold coins through binance on the same day and he called me that he successfully traded his coins and it was 60$ worth of Bitcoin, and this time I asked him how much came out off which he told me and I was shocked at the price because I actually traded same amount and the price difference was quite big @almost 17k naira difference in Fiat between the two trade and it was on that moment I asked him, how and what he did that caused this big difference because we both sold same amount of coins.

I meet with him again some few days past and checked his binance p2p app and found out that instead of the trade to be in Nigeria NGN it was placed at USD and I think this is what somehow caused the reduction in price value of which he has traded almost 3 separate times with this particular p2p setting, resulting to a loss of almost roughly 40k

So am still confused if this was actually the case that caused this error or some other reason for the massive price reduction, if  this was the reason then most newbie should be careful when trying to trade on binance p2p if they don't want this little difference in the price value.
7  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Wrong mentality of scammers on: October 22, 2023, 07:06:50 AM
My country men una well done,



So I was just relaxing and surfing on the internet, trying to entertain myself a bit, then I came across this interesting skit by some user on the platform TikTok which really got attention because of the specific message he was actually trying to pass and as I watched it I tried relating what he was actually saying to my immediate environment and it fits so well that I thought I should drop it in the community today and hear your own personal view and take on this.



So we all know how the country be, and how boys for the streets dey continue involved themselves into fraud and many scam related stuffs just to make ends means and the funny thing about this is that some of these guys actually aren't really that educated and have found it really hard to do things the right way and, by this I mean actually following the right path to make money and some of the reasons most guys actually get involved in these scam ethics is because they actually deem it very easy which is actually a big fucking lie, but the lifestyle most of these fraudster lives makes fraud business looks so easy which is actually a mirage because nothing is actually ever easy especially when it's comes to making 💰 money. I have some friends who have actually said that doing fraud is actually the easiest way to make an ends, but when they actually tell me what they pass through day and night for this, then I start to think how funny it really is, how we are willing to some extent of a certain desire to actually do THE WRONG THINGS FOR THE RIGHT REASON  .



I imagine not sleeping all day and night trying to convince someone for them to actually do your biddings for the purpose of trying to scam or learning all the technological stuff about hacking, sending constant fake mail, claiming multiple identities and so many other hard stuff, and of which scammers are of the mentality that it's supposed to be easy and we all know how hard it is to actually learn and dedicate your mind to things you are not familiar with especially when it comes to tech stuffs but for these guys the dedication and committed is really on another level and this really make me wonder how funny the world is and how people are actually willing to the wrong things for the right reasons.

Why not just channel all this energy and time and actually follow the right path, because obviously, trying to scam too is actually not easy and if you are caught there is a penalty that follows it, but following the right way holds no sanction and requires the same commitment too.



Please, what's your take on this, make we yan small Tori for this issue.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Sometimes just flex it ( luck is all you need) on: September 27, 2023, 09:13:42 PM
Hello mates,

Gambling is an habit that is taken very seriously by some gambler here in my country and not only mine if I can sure because the wanting nature to actually win is what keeps them driving and continue with the act despite having major losses, for some gambler stories of people winning is what keeps them afloat and makes them feel they too can do.

The sad truth about this whole gambling stuff for me well I don't know for other but with the little experience I have gotten is that no one can be too certain and can be too safe or cautious when it comes to gambling and this is proven here in a betslip I won recently that just got me thinking of how i never even intended to forecast the odds or whatsoever, I just actually just FLEXED IT and the game came through for me which was fun because I played it for fun.

So sometimes don't think just flex it and let luck do it part friends.
9  Other / Meta / Fun thought on Bitcointalk having this particular feature. on: September 20, 2023, 07:08:41 PM
Hello friends

I would say I was rather confused on chosing the right topic head but still pardon me for the one I choose and although the topic created is just to fill up my curiosity and I would also like to have user opinion on this thought of mine.

Well so I was thinking how would users feel if actually there was some kind of Voice translation writing mode here in the forum so as to aid those who are not too good at typing or expressing themselves very well through writing to actually speak out their thought and it gets written down correctly for them  Angry.

Although I know it's a crazy idea but still it's a free community so I decided to speak out to see how many people actually have similar thoughts on the idea although I have a feeling I would be criticise on this but it's worth throwing the question out there. Lol
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Sweat coin. Is this real? on: August 04, 2023, 03:20:30 PM
So am not all that into airdrop but some of my guys have been disturbing like hell to take part saying of these airdrop do actually pay so I later let me send me some airdrop link and I tried this one particular one {sweat coin} but for some time I have not done anything with this but I do get lots of notification on my telegram.

Here is a sample

12  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Enquiry on software/website on: May 08, 2023, 10:09:07 PM
Hello family

I thought I should drop this for the house to formally clearify me further on this platform that was blatantly praise and worshipped like a money making machine by my cousins I went visiting this past sunday but from the research I made on this platform/website seem to me like a scam project run by scammers presently to lure enough customers in their atmosphere before they actually mess it up because as for now they claim that the software is actually paying but I believe its just a matter of time before those that invested or in this case of their bought a mining machine will start crying for their funds. I donno if am wrong about this but I also strongly advice for everyone that have involve or planning to partake to take serious precaution before starting because regret is always one step away from us.


so here is the name of site or app
CSTCMINE APP
Please member of the house help and share your opinion on this website and app .
13  Economy / Speculation / 26k mark finally breached on: March 14, 2023, 04:19:54 PM
Bitcoin finally climbs 26k and it's definitely looking more like a bullish trend now as many new investors were worried from it massive drop from its 25k to around 19k in the month of March. For me am definitely praying for the price to drop more so I can buy as much bitcoin as I can but the dip always scares some investors but I say the dip is a good sign for me make more from the market as buying low and hodling till the prices go up is definitely more yielding.

What's your pick on this. Will March bring more great feats or a massive dip will be experienced after this pump.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin adoption growing stronger everyday on: February 02, 2023, 08:30:28 PM
NoteNo one can stop its adoption


Today i came across a really interesting Post on twitter and its shows in a video how the mayor of lugano (switzerland) was paying for the goods and services rendered to him with bitcoin all over the city  and i came to the conclusion that its only a matter of time before the adoption of bitcoin is going to be seen like this in every city of the world.
  Like the video in this tweet bitcoin is already spreading and many people have started accepting bitcoin as a means of payment in their small business Enterprises and firms in my own country (Nigeria) although its still not allowed to transact bitcoin with the local fiat bank in my place but the use of bitcoin is still spreading and its doesn't stop people from trading through peer to peer transaction and i hope the government of the world starts seeing the value and force that bitcoin is coming with in the world today and start legalizing it in their own country.

16  Bitcoin / Mining / Willing to know more on: January 26, 2023, 05:27:31 PM
I have been in the forum for some time now and no doubt i have gathered so many knowledge about the crypto space especially on bitcoin and my view towards bitcoin has totally changed as i once like others saw bitcoin as a pornzi scheme that is meant to target the weak into depriving them in their little money they earn through ours of work stress.

 
the forum is like a library filled with so many books to read and its some time as i have always wanted to learn about the whole ethics of bitcoin mining and how its works so I can be able to participate in some of the conversation here in the forum but haven't really gotten to the full understanding of it.

So i want to know if there is any way i can learn a little bit faster as bitcoin mining always intrigues me and i just feel  maybe there are articles here i can read that can further broaden my knowledge on bitcoin mining and its importance to the crypto space.
17  Economy / Speculation / Did you sell off during the 21k price breach. on: January 16, 2023, 12:01:32 PM
Not many people expected the sudden rise in the price of bitcoin in the early part of 2023 as speculation i have online and also in the forum have started the bull is not going to be coming anytime soon. But the price of bitcoin surprisingly reached 21k on Saturday and many short time holders saw this as a wonderful opportunity to sell off some of their coins and wait for the price to go low again before buying.

So are we to expect any sudden drop down to 16k again on the price of bitcoin this year or we will going through with this current 20k to 21k mark.?
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Are you still holding your coins #btc on: January 12, 2023, 12:22:34 PM
2022 was certainly a bloody year for bitcoin investors and many drama played out in the crypto space but all that said we have manage to cross the year successfully to 2023.
  
2023 is going to be another year of major speculation on the rate on when we are going to experience another bull run and eventually reaching another ATH.
 As 2022 was seen as a disastrous year for some bitcoin holders, it was also seen as an golden opportunity for new comers like me who missed out in buying when bitcoin was very low before it experienced a major rise in the year 2020. We have bought bitcoin now thats it price is very low and we are expecting to hodl it till when another bull run season comes hopefully we can see it reach another all-time-high.

So am curious to know if everyone is still holding or have chicken out and sold theirs.
Note ::get your coins off any exhange platforms if you are still on the hodl game

This recent restructuring and restrictions in banks affair in the country will really have some effects for some users that purchase and order things online with their card from online international store like
~ali express

It was just last year that banks limited the spending of naira debit cards in international transaction to 20$ and now this time they have suspended the whole process here so lets look into the reasons for all this restriction and how e go affect we Nigerians
