1  Economy / Gambling discussion / How many times in a year should a professional boxer or UFC fighter fight? on: April 12, 2024, 02:04:12 PM

A random thought just bumped my head after seeing a movie in which Conor McGregor was the villain and it was rather interesting to see him using his fighting skills just like the way Mike Tyson did in IP Man, just to earn good money and fame.
Am sure they have now reduced their active rate so far, due to age or medical reasons, but they still workout and train and stay fit because it's already a habit to them.

Now, if I were to compare the number of times Mike Tyson had to fight in one year and that was in 1985, it was about 15 times which is way more on an average compared to Conor McGregor who only got to fight 14 times professionally over an 8year UFC career.
My question is this;

* How many times a year, should a professional boxer or UFC fighter fight?

 
2  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Obasanjo introduced cell phone, this government should introduce BTC as future on: October 07, 2023, 02:25:34 PM

I was just thinking that as Obasanjo our former president introduced the cell phone to Nigerians and today we are enjoying the benefits as much as other countries, will it be too much to ask the current president or his administration to consider and implement the use and adoption of cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin for the citizens?

Is it too much to ask for a solution to the crippling economy and a way out for the next generation, seeing that Bitcoin investment is sure and the future if money?

Let's discuss!
3  Other / Off-topic / When learning stops. on: July 08, 2023, 11:46:17 AM
This topic made sense to me as at the time of writing this and I want to use it to encourage and uplift anyone here who is feeling stuck while learning a new skill or has lost the zeal to continue, please reinvent to refire.

One way to stay on learning to the end when stuck or stagnant at a point, should be to divert attention to another interest. Let's say a newbie without any clue as to how this place converses or how cryptocurrencies or the decentralized network operates, may have to experience a hard time learning the new terms and learning from the wisdom of those who have succeeded. If after sometime one gets stuck and can't even make a sense of the whole thing, perhaps it would be time to learn something else, just to stimulate the brains concentration power and ability.

Later if you go back to the first thing you were learning, you would notice how easy it was all the while, but you just couldn't concentrate then. This new Neuro pathways will have been formed, new level of understanding and comprehension will be formed and that's how growth is noticed and revealed.

Never quit. When learning stops or you get stuck or stagnant on an idea, divert interest to learn something else for a while, and then revisit the initial subject of interest for learning completion. That's geniuses are made.

What do you think? Was this helpful?
4  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Dangote Advices Nigerian Entrepreneurs. on: July 04, 2023, 07:38:16 AM
It's one thing to wish to be as rich as Dangote and am sure anyone here would agree to a mentorship program by this man. I consider him one of Africa's greatest entrepreneurs mostly with the completion of Africa's biggest refinery, in Lagos. It is an enormous achievement by a true visionary.

So, he was advising young entrepreneurs to be careful in spending their money, mostly as the business is still growing, that living flamboyant lifestyle should be reduced to the barest minimum. Instead the money should be saved or reinvested if the success of the business is the ultimate goal.
He said he doesn't have a house abroad and it is not a do die affair to own one.

Nigerians has expressed their opinions on the advice he gave, and am asking it here to know what we feel he should have added to the advice of reinvesting, besides saving or not buying real estate abroad?

5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Does Bitcoin or cryptocurrency offer loan service? on: May 20, 2023, 11:24:30 PM
I have understood what centralized and decentralized systems are and I know that banks are centralized with physical locations/attributes, with strict monetary policies governing it. While decentralized system is the crypto currency or the Blockchain technology which is the where Bitcoin is built on.

Both have helped to solve human financial problems in one way or the other, depending on the means which one earns from.
Ignoring all other features I could talk about and with my focus on loans schemes, I want to ask if as banks offer loans to individuals, companies even to the government, does Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies or exchange offer loan service?
 If yes, what is some criteria that may be required?

7  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / One overlooked factor. on: May 17, 2023, 09:48:38 PM
I was just wondering, one reason that has been overlooked as to why BTC has remained a dominant value of exchange to those who have come to accept it is, the advent of the internet and the idea of cryptocurrencies being on a block chain network which operates on the internet or online as fondly called.

As long as institutions in the country are dependent on the internet or web to transact and carry on with daily trades and commerce, cryptocurrencies would remain a feature that would  keep getting audience and users.
No matter how the government tries to ban or limit the use of cryptocurrencies, the main option should be to stop the internet from functioning. I bet this can't happen, as the disaster bound to happen would be tremendous.
8  Other / Beginners & Help / Which is more lucrative between mining and trading bitcoins? on: May 17, 2023, 09:35:29 AM
I am looking to start my Bitcoin journey from somewhere that would be of advantage to me as the economic situation in my country bears down hard and with having family to Carter for, it is rather exhausting.
Without much physical mentors with real life experiences except for YouTube and this forum where I feel I can ask good questions and be answered well, am asking, which is the more lucrative endeavour for a newbie hoping to benefit from cryptocurrency at first between Bitcoin mining and Bitcoin trading?  

Are there other Bitcoin endeavours one could be interested and invested in, other than trading and mining?
