Story of my life, 3 years ago, I bought a wooden piggybank for savings. My target was to save for 2 years before I opened it. I started putting money inside, until i realized the wood wasn't good enough so I opened it. lo and behold, termites has invaded  my save and destroyed my money 😔. Fast-forward to now, If I had used that money to invest in bitcoin, with good investment decision the money will be  secured and with increase in bitcoin, my money would yield interest.
Save wisely this new year, I'm starting my savings in piggybitcoin.

While I was in school,  I always find excuse to avoid doing school work, I  discovered that I procrastinate a lot which caused me to perform poorly in assignments and exams

I had to help myself to overcome procrastination. I learned  the importance of setting specific and attainable goals for myself,I began to use planner to schedule my time and make sure I hold myself accountable.
With these strategies I was able to do my school work like reading and completing assignments at the right time. My grades improved greatly.

If you are planning to invest, do it now and in the future, you will be glad you did them.

"Can I take a loan to invest in bitcoin" this question was asked by a friend

My reply to her is this:
It is generally not advisable to take out a loan to purchase Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and the value of a particular coin can fluctuate greatly in a short period of time. This means that the value of the coin you purchase with a loan could drop, making it difficult to repay the loan. It is important to do your own research and make sure you understand the risks before investing in any financial product, including Bitcoin.

What is your advice?

Offensive words and less demeaning alternatives:

There are certain words that shouldn’t be used in the description of people or certain situation
 
It is offensive to refer to someone as a “drug addict” the proper term is a  “person struggling with substance use” or a “person with substance use disorder”.

“Drug addiction” in itself is also said to be offensive and is mostly being replaced with “Substance use disorder”

It is offensive to use the term “disabled person” is offensive. A better replacement can be a “differently abled person”.

When you want to make a reference to a mental health issue you do not refer to the individual as “a crazy person” rather a “person with a mental health issue”.

When talking about someone who lost their life through suicide you don’t say “committed suicide”  it is less offensive to say “died by suicide”.

Hope this helps 😄

Bitcoin mining is the process of using computer power to solve complex mathematical problems in order to verify transactions on the Bitcoin network.

Miners are rewarded for their efforts with newly minted bitcoins and transaction fees.

The difficulty of the mathematical problems adjusts dynamically to ensure that the average time between mined blocks stays at about 10 minutes. As more miners join the network, the difficulty increases to maintain this average time.
This process helps to ensure the security and integrity of the Bitcoin network. The energy consumption of the bitcoin network is very high.
