[First:]

I don't know if a thread like this has existed here before. Bear with me!

Some members of the forum feel so down when other members give their opinions which they are not shy about because that is how it's supposed to be. It got me thinking about a better way to start engaging comfortably in the local board. And I came up with some solutions so let's talk about the right way to engage with the local board.

First: Be you, and don't try to be anyone else.

You will have a harder time here in the Local board when we try to force ourselves to be somebody else. The forum and the Local board might be anonymous without our real names or identities, but we can build more trust in less time by engaging in conversations in a way that portrays our personality. It will be easy that in terms of difficult moments, other members can easily support you based on the fact that they know what you could possibly do or not. Thereby you have built a good reputation in the LB.

I have come across some topics where we try to speak good English but most times we confuse the people coming to the thread. Here na Naija LB, e good say we they knack better broken for here because na dat one wey be say all of us go understand well well. So that any person wey no from here wey enter here go know say na Naija e done enter.


Second: Try to help and provide clarity

There are conversations that are contradicting, confusing, or difficult to apprehend. What we should do if we are in such a position that we know how to solve this is to provide clarification on it. Whether it's a question, or argument to mention a few, if we come about a thread that signals stress and confusion, we shouldn't offer bling encouragement or say things that we are not certain of. It could possibly mislead other members who might engage in the discussion.

Third: Invite discussion and don't fail to share useful information's

This is one interesting part I would love to talk about. We shouldn't hesitate to start conversations and force interesting dialogues. The local board is entirely public to Nigerians here in the forum, and it is not right that we should be looking for relevant conversations to engage with which can be time-consuming. We should focus our conversations on the following categories: Bitcoin discussion, Education (could be moral education, academic education, or financial education), Economics, Politics, etc. I won't forget about a discussion I came across, while I was reading through I saw one of our members with many experiences how he had made the clarification on that and I learned so much there, this is not the first time I have seen such from him and I would appreciate him as well that he continues such way @CryptopreneurBrainboss. Not only him but I can mention all, indeed there are members here who know a lot and have shared such with the LB.

Also, sharing useful information and resources is one of the best ways to keep members of the forum on the go. I know a good member here who dedicates so much time to sharing this kind @Charles-Tim and I fully respect him for that. If more of us could share information within the country that would help us from being scammed, manipulated, or something that might affect us it would save us from danger. Let's keep ourselves informed on the happenings in the country.

Four: Lets work with the moderator.

Let's try to work with our Moderator in the LB @Igebotz. He volunteered to hold this position out of his willingness to be subjected to the Nigerian local board members. He holds the power over the conversation and discussions within the LB. To maintain standards and make the LB a better community for us all he would be removing spam or unwanted conversations and cleaning the LB from shitposters. The least we can do is avoid spam or shitposting, only that way can we help and work with him.

I was wondering how does casino affiliates programs work.

I have a friend who is an affiliate marketer. He does affiliate programs for various sectors. For example in the health sector, finance sector, educational sector and so many. It got me thinking after he tried introducing me into it, he is trying to make me change my mind from gambling in 8 ball pool instead i should use the money to get an online affiliate course.

Am curious right now, to know how does affiliates program work in gambling. I know gambling is big niche and they also run affiliate programs, so anyhow have an idea?

There are gamblers who have great instincts and can forecast games that may end up winning the bet. But they are scared that they may lose. They dont trust their own betting predictions so they would rather go to a gambling prediction site to some daily betting tips.

So i want to know as a gambler that you are, do you feel following those betting predictions from those sites would favour us in gambling more than our own predictions? For me i trust my predictions and i have won more when i predict for myself than letting someone predict for me.

Especially on sports betting we see some racism happening and this happened in most of the league that are popular of which so many persons bet on. It bothers me to ask, that imagine you placed a bet and somehow you have 80% assurance that it would come out successful. And on the process of waiting for the game to end there was some racism manipulation in the game which made you lost the game. It could be football or other sports cause its mostly found in sports.

Next time would you choose to not bet on a particular game because you feel the members of the VAR, or the referee are racist, and you are sure that there would be some manipulation?

Two Brighton supporters were stabbed in Rome last night ahead of tonight's Europa League round of 16 first leg tie against Roma.



Rumors says they were away supporters, and the showoff was immense. I feel there is a need that if a Fan goes on a vacation to watch a game in a foreign country. They should be security conscious, observant and stay out of unnecessary banters that could lead them to troubles or death. It a game for fun and merriment not something we should take too personally to heart to cause trouble.

Today i decided to try one of my sweet predictions in the EPL games. So, i predicted in 4 matches and placed my net. However, during this time i watched my games played so well but two games were holding it and i felt i would lose this game. It was already 83 minutes and i needed these games to play at 87 minutes i gave up and decided to cashout the amount i used to stake since it was the amount that was showing there. I thought it was clear and instead of losing i should rather just get my money back. Just in 15 minutes after i checked the live score and found out that the game played. I felt so angry and unhappy because i have not trusted my instincts if not i wouldn't have cashed out at that time.

If only we know how bad the economy is degrading globally, we would want to push ourselves to our limit and focus on that our skill or business. Taking it up to the next level. Some persons are still skeptical about the business they own, while some are waiting for the opportunities, they were promised to them by friends or relative and others are comfortable because they have rich people around them that if they place a call, they will answer them.

As the economy is getting worst it is difficult for a responsible adult to go to bed without planning on how to grow his business or how to attract new customers, not just new though but potential customers and business partners that will have big influence in his business. Time waits for no man. Yes, the life is filled with ups and down, but we won't stop trying so that we can have that impact on the existence of man just like how other nerds have done.

[Solana, Ethereum, BnB and Doge.]

Bitcoin ETF has been approved which is a good new for other Altcoin as well. As we all know, since Bitcoin is the pioneer of cryptocurrencies if there is a significant increase in the price of Bitcoin it will also affect the price of other cryptocurrencies. For instance if by the end of the year Bitcoin hit the target of $100k definelty other altcoins will experince a huge increase in their price. Bitcoin bull run is as well altcoin bull run.

My candid advises to people who do not have the opportunity to buy bitcoin, is to find an altcoin that they can buy and hodl. If it is difficult to know which altcoin to buy, then I'll just list a few here i think i can spend some bucks on. They include Solana, Ethereum, BnB and Doge.

Let's put some effort and hope for the best to happen.

Yes, if you are an investor that loves investing in the stock market. This is a good time to buy the Coinbase stock inside the stock exchange market. We are going to see the Coinbase stock price go high soon, and this is because all those ETF that were approved by the SEC cannot hold the bitcoin. Since the SEC said if an investor invest x amount of Bitcoin in any ETF the ETF should be able to hold exactly x amount in a secured wallet for the investor.

However, out of the 11 Bitcoin ETF that was approved. About 6 uses Coinbase as a custodian wallet. This is why there will be increase in the price of Coinbase in the stock market as there will be a substantial amount of Bitcoin going into Coinbase soon.

What are thoughts as well?

We all know that Bitcoin is used for making payments. So, people who buy uses bitcoin to send payment and those who sell uses it to receive payment from anywhere in the word. But the situation of high transaction fees is affecting buyers and sellers. They are now looking for an alternative to make payment instead of using bitcoin. Another thing is that if transaction is made, sellers will have to wait for long to receive payment and no seller wants that kind of delay in his/her business.

Do you think there is a solution to this, or B2B and P2B, business that uses bitcoin should find another alternative to payment method instead of Bitcoin?

For those who are into business that make use of bitcoin, how do you harness this situation of high transaction fess to not affect your business and customers? So that others will learn from your tips.

For those persons who prefer gambling in local bet shops instead of gambling online. I know that most times some persons carry huge sums of money to come to gamble and I understand that if it was a local casino there would be securities. Now, in the local bet shop, why are there no securities? I know a local bet shop close to where I reside. There are no securities there and there are people who act strange and mentally unstable there. They could cause fights, noise, and cheat. So for other persons to feel safe betting there I think securities should be employed there.

I find this very frustrating when i see people complain about their funding bank/provider account being banned because of gambling related activities. My younger just called me and told me his raven account was banned and he has been using it to deposit dollars in his gambling platform and also paying for subscriptions online. I want to get this clear.

Is it because of the gambling activities that got his account banned or it is because of the legitimacy of the funds that raven are more concerned about?

Is there any gambling platform that needs to be avoided?

Since i woke up we've been trying to contact their support for complaint and no response yet. Is there anyone with similar experience?

Football indeed is a gme of passion. A passion that drives you to win at all cost and not loss. I come to understand that when it comes to football the roots and foundation of a football team matters. A team that is not built with a strong foundation. In terms of reputation, pattern, performance and strategy may affect the players that will be playing in that team years to come. What am saying in essence is that football may be hereditary. I believe you may or may not gree to the fact that some football clubs have passed down the spirit of not able to win league titles in as much as the current players of that team tries. They always end up bottling the league at the end.

I have noticed this a lot about the lack of caution from some people who have attained certain ranks in the forum. At the point when they were rising from newbie to jnr member, then member and going upward, you will notice the caution they use in ensuring that they follow up with the rules and regulations guiding the forum as well as ensuring that their contributions to the forum is topnotch and that their posts and replies has no reason for a plagiarism check to be carried out on it. But along the line, because they've ranked up and might even be participating in a serious signature campaign, you see this tendency of relaxation in them and before you know, they start defaulting most of the forum rules and regulation and their account might even be giving negative tags and in some worse situation, there account might even be banned.

Ranking up to a particular position should not be all that you're known for.  if people see that you're a full member or snr member who is known for giving out topnotch information and guidance in the forum, it had serious respect to your name. you see the account of jayjuangee, even though he is one of the highly ranked members in the forum, the quality in his replies goes a long way to how his level of growth, experience and development not just with regards to the forum, but also in the total bitcoin space.

While you strive to rank up, make sure that you as a persona is also growing your IQ and intellect so you don't grow to be a hero member or legendary that makes the kind of contribution that a jnr member should be making. Or make the same mistake the newbies do at the beginning.

The current Bitcoin fees wouldn't have mattered to me because I am not selling, but the fees do matter because I DCA, and I don't want to leave my coins in the centralized exchange. This month, I have spent roughly $5 to $10 in transaction fees when I DCA every week. It may seem small, but in my country, it's enough to cover my feeding expenses for a month cumulatively.

I discussed this issue with my friend, and he suggested I use an exchange that utilizes the Lightning Network. According to him, this would help me get off with no fees any day. While I'm considering this alternative, another option is to wait for a month or two, then use the amount we kept for weekly DCA, hold it for a month or two, and lump sum. This way, i would incur just a one time fee. What are your thoughts on this? I feel like I may use the money kept for DCA for other expenses.

Yesterday I tried making a Bitcoin transaction and I accidentally added the same address it's coming out of. Mistakenly I may have tap the copy to clipboard without realizing. Luckily for me I did not click the send button before I realized my self.

Just a reminder, always double-check your receiving address before sending. Bitcoin fees are high, and if your Bitcoin gets sent to the same address it's coming out of, it might return, but you'll lose the fees. You can't afford to lose $10 due to a careless mistake that could've been prevented.

Sometimes when I de reflect on how far I done come for the tech and cryptocurrency space, and all the things and experiences I don gathered so far, e de amaze me seriously. Growing up, I been de seriously into playing of keyboards and instruments in church and I been seriously think say na from there I go take make a living, later as I begin grow come enter street, the vibes to de follow up church matter come drop and I no come de take the instrument stuff very seriously. I come later enter into phone repairs come de enjoy the work wetin no nice and come even de make small savings say I go use start up my own phone repairs shop. As I get admission into school na there the whole phone repairs matter come die like that and I come say make I try focus on school small but e no take time when the interest begin die down. We just de get small conversation and my friend just bring up the matter weda I de interested to go into tech, I been no take am seriously but with time as I come de visit my guy come de see how him de work, I come say make I follow try see how e de be and with time I come de enjoy the stuff small small.

E done de reach almost 3 years when I don de do this work with my guy and I don get serious sense of fulfilment as I de do the job so! Nah so ah con still join the forum as they come give me update about bitcoin and so far the journey has been filled with fulfillment and happiness.

Wetin I de try talk be say make we no de write anything off like that on  the first appearance, make we continue to de learn anything when de reasonable and useful to learn. you never can tell which one will end up paying you very well in this life.

[I received a mail on my inbox. It took me some days before i went through my inbox and i read it.]

I received a mail on my inbox. It took me some days before i went through my inbox and i read it.



This is the full content of the email. here

There is a major scandal brewing at the Wall Street Journal related to their bitcoin coverage. Two reporters, Angus Berwick and Ian Talley, recently wrote an article titled “Hamas Militants Behind Israel Attack Raised Millions in Crypto.”
The article claimed that Hamas and their affiliates raised approximately $130 million in cryptocurrency donations. For obvious reasons, this would be very concerning if it was true. That is a big “if” though.
Elliptic, the platform that the Wall Street Journal reporters allegedly used to come up with this analysis, came out publicly yesterday and said that the analysis is wrong. In fact, the Elliptic team wrote in a statement “there is no evidence to suggest that crypto fundraising has raised anything close to this amount, and data provided by Elliptic and others has been misinterpreted.”
That should be the end of the story, right?
Unfortunately no. More than 100 lawmakers came together to sign a letter to national security leadership calling for a crackdown on cryptocurrencies. What was their argument? That the Wall Street Journal article proved that terrorists were using cryptocurrency to raise obnoxious amounts of money.
Think about how ridiculous this situation is.
The Wall Street Journal published an article that is inaccurate. That article was read by hundreds of our lawmakers, who then decided to create pressure on other administration officials based on the inaccurate information.
The mainstream media is programming the brains of our lawmakers with fake news.
There has been no retraction of the story from the journalists.
They are actually doubling down on Twitter/X and refusing to acknowledge their mistake, although the platform they used to do the analysis has publicly said they are wrong.
There has been no comment or retraction of the letter from lawmakers that is now proven to be based on false information.
The scary part in this scenario is that if lawmakers are so easily swayed by inaccurate reporting, we should ask ourselves what other legislation is being proposed after someone consumed inaccurate information?
This brings me to a point that I made on CNBC’s Squawk Box yesterday. Bitcoin does not care about the politics in Washington DC. The asset is oblivious to what is happening in the world.
If the US was to take the extreme measure of banning or outlawing bitcoin, the rest of the world would continue to adopt the technology. They may even accelerate their adoption because it would be seen as a positive sign that bitcoin is outside of the US system.
So while our politicians are being tricked by the mainstream media, it would still not solve the problem that they are claiming to want to solve.
Bad people are going to do bad things with technology, regardless of the rules. If the US took the most extreme steps at home, it would not stop criminals from trying to use the technology.
Thankfully, the criminals are one step ahead in this situation though and they have figured out that using a public ledger for committing crimes is a horrible idea.
The market has solved the problem and does not require new rules or regulations.
We have to be very careful that we do not simply become a country where the creation of regulations is the norm. We should want the least regulations possible while still accomplishing our overarching goals.
The whole situation on this topic is unfortunate. The media was likely trying their best to do good work and analysis. The lawmakers took the information and analysis at face value. It is easy to see how we got here.
Now that we know the information is inaccurate, the media should retract and/or correct the article and lawmakers should publicly correct their comments as well.

There is a misconception and i want to focus my discussion on some key points

1. Bitcoin itself is not tied to any financial crimes. Yes, it can be use by criminals as a means to receive payment from. There is a difference between misuse by individuals and the Bitcoin technology itself. Bad people are going to do bad things just like the sender said, regardless of the rules surrounding the technology. Even if there is a law to stop Bitcoin in a particular country criminals will not still stop to use the technology in other countries. 

2. Government and Information should consider focusing on the need for accurate information before disseminating it to the public. This incident was caused by misinformation that has led to the sudden hash government actions and decision towards cryptocurrency especially the pioneer Bitcoin.

3.  Hasty decision based on inaccurate information can cause a huge consequence not on Bitcoin but to the society at large. The law makers should have conducted through investigation before proposing to take actions on anything. These scenario has exposed the envies of the lawmakers and government heads towards bitcoin and its technology.

I greet una my people. base on the way the countri done choke via d economic system wey our government done put us inside. Ah they see a lot of young people wey be say they they do things collaboratively. You go see house wey be say 4 persons they share rent they leave together. Weting they go just do nah to find money buy things like TV, AC, refrigerator and other house appliances and properties so that the house go make sense. Even sef for business you go see two people combine money start one large business.

Ah been they feel say nah most people like friends, relative or partners they mostly they do all these things. I con realize say this people sef nah different people wey be say they no even too know each other like that. but them just decide to collaborate. Other things i understand be say this people know say if nah only one person they do am the burden go heavy and money go finish kpata-kpata nah why they lock up collaborate.

If people collaborate like this e get somethings wey go they xup, things like.

1. Lack of privacy and at times peace of mind
2. Lack of trust after some period of time spent together
3. Jealousy or envyness based on one wey they do better than the other.
4. Fight for superiority and ownership of some things. e.t.c

Weting me i wan know now nah say which one they preferrable to they on your own or do something yourself (solo) or to collaborate or have a partnership with someone which one wey you think say go they better and go avoid you so many problems but if you they choose to make you consider your financial strength o if nah something wey you fit bear on your own.
