The promising approach about the rising of Bitcoin price seemly to have emotional influence on investors which at some points triggers market sentiments.

Who has observed that the speculations and predictions  of Bitcoin price has gone silence since the market went DIP after the halving?

I beg a pardon if a thread like this has existed here.

I have been around my gambling friends and I have always acted to be 100% sticking to my gambling budgets such as how many times, a specific time and how much to spend on my gambling.
Once awhile I actually breaks that budget but though it does not affect my daily life and my bankrolls.
I literally claim this righteousness on my friends who are running out of their emotional control from gambling and psychologically I expects them to have me as an example whom they should emulate from in other to be recalled and take back control of their emotions while gambling.

Does any of you guys have any negative side of gambling habit in you which literally you advices anyone not to exhibit it?
Or can you afford to hide your real disreputable gambling life just to help an astray gambling friend or relative?

This topic has been moved to Nigeria (Naija).

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5495307.0

Noting that on the Feb. 2024, I previously made a thread about me telling a bank customer care that I am a Bitcoin investor in referencing a fact that I was restricted from making fiat withdrawal from my bank account after trading my bitcoin How safe is it letting the bank know that you are a BTC Investor?.
it is becoming scaring to me that I might not be safe to escape whatever plans the federal government maybe structuring against Bitcoin enthusiasts here in my country with the nature of actions that is currently practically carried out.

By February binance disables the naira feature on its p2p market as the government demands, after much tussles between the Nigerian government and the Binance exchange and by March A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered binance to provide the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission with comprehensive information on all persons from Nigeria trading on its platform.
 
That did not end there as more actions threatens Nigerian Crypto enthusiasts.
OKX and some other crypto exchange platform follows to delisting naira in their p2p platforms amidst tussles with the Nigerian government.

It still follows as the Central Bank Of Nigeria bans Fintech companies which includes Moniepoint, Opay, Kuda, others from taking new customers over cryptocurrency involvement.
The government has been taking these actions distabilizing the financial welfare of its citizens relying their source of income with those investing for a long term goal against their retirements without given a real fact on how really Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies enthusiasts are being manipulating the fiat naira as being accused.

While others crypto enthusiasts awaits the lift of ban of the Fintech companies, the government went on extra mile which has of recently prompted  fintech companies have warned their customers against trading in cryptocurrency or any virtual currency on their apps, threatening to block any accounts found engaging in such activities
Meanwhile... Upon the sanctions of the Fintech companies not getting involved in any crypto P2P trading related transactions, the commercial banks are not included to the P2P restriction.
Right before me, I feel some shits phishing that the federal government is gradually forcing the exchange platforms and the Fintech companies out to be left with few platform if not just one exchange where all the Nigerian Bitcoin and Crytop enthusiasts would be centralized so that they can finally have the list of the Nigerians trading and Investing in Bitcoin and the Crytop currencies.
They already owns the commercial banks so they could easily get whatever data of why Crypto transactions across any of them which we the Nigerian Crypto investors are optional left with.
They are probably structuring a chain on their citizens involving in Cryptocurrencies.

So recalling my recent post to had let the bank know that I am a Bitcoin investor, I myself doesn't not feel safe.
There is nothing impossible for my government to do which the masses are aware of. The voice of the people doesn't influence the government instead they influences the people.
We fears what we would be the summary with the drastic actions of our federal government. 🙏

Someone betted on boxing and lost the game but the gambler out of grieve of his lost is trying to ease his emotion Said, It is okay as it is for at least the guy I betted on made me lost the game but had unfortunate for him too to had taken beaten of his life.

I think such is and aggressive and irresponsible gambler who gambles on the peak of what he can not afford to loose.

Bitcoin can not afford to reprogram its potentials values of being a non-custodial currencies hence it is a technological development created by an initiative individual who is known to be Satoshi Nakamoto.

It is a financial system initiated without any sector of the government contributing to the structure neither being slated with any form of authority role in the system of the digital financial system as Bitcoin.
And on no account would the potentialities and nature of Bitcoin would be flexible to be reformed such as to be centralized in other to justify the mistrusts of the people who are in doubt of it with the facts that Satoshi Nakamoto has remained unknown and yet the digital currency is non-custodian.

I made this expressions because just in, a neighbor is f man who has been in good terms in a while now with me  asked if I can recommend him to any way she can Invest, have her funds secured and as much make profits.
So I recommended Bitcoin to her which she acknowledged that she knows a little about it but her fear is that it is not a centralized technology and for that she has always felt insecured on the development.

You can imagine that she told me to give her my words that if anything happens to her funds if invested that I will have to refund her. 😏. That was silly and I felt mad at her.
And right then I clearly told her that I am not trying to introduce her to any of the Ponzi schemes so it is her choice to decide but all I can tell you(her) lastly about this is that your funds will be secured as long you (she) would stick to the terms I have explained to her after explaining the Pros and the Cons to her.

Dear fellas, please I needed to know how you would feel if you were in my position basically where she said I would refund her if her funds gets lost becasue you recommended and introduced her to the system.

["If will the Bitcoin halving have bigger impact in the Bitcoin industry"?.]

Earlier on I read about a thread in request "If will the Bitcoin halving have bigger impact in the Bitcoin industry"?.

It has really got some cracks on my head which yeah, I needed to hit on the reply sections but right then in time I am unable to find the thread and not even the search button could help me out.
So I am referencing my opinion to that thread here on my post.

My Opinion>>>
As simple as that, yes it does because Bitcoin halving has a mechanism impact to influence the supplies, preserves decentralized notations on a specific max volume of Bitcoin in the market to maintain stable rewards on the Bitcoin industrial structures.
And thereafter the halving comes the bull run and the OP will agree with me that every bull runs is accountable to surge an ATH which is resulted just after the halving.

So let us have a face to face of the halving where the bitcoin values drops and investors are being attracted to invest and holds until a long run of the bull run with its ATH. That is to yes YES the halving has bigger impact as Bitcoin is concerned in every circles.

[Warning:]

Why most persons get rich and falls even up to bankrupts is because sometimes they gain those riches by opportunities where things are just working out so well and flexible for them probably due to backups from their backgrounds.
So even when they are at the fits to fall, there is always that someone behind to weigh them to keep standing.

These set of persons may not know how tough the labour markets of survival in securing those riches could be as they just sitted in that formality positions  while the huge earning is sure.
Such individuals are easy exposed to fall in due time if they do not adopt to be innovative and creative on where and how they can alternate the diversification of their sources of income.

They just fails to understand that sometimes those behind pushing and holding that one source may not be there for them til eternity and to some points they ruins themselves by being attached to slayers who only came to subtract and not to multiply their incomes.

I have heard of many testifying that their partners in union relationships are responsible for their falling predicaments.

If you are surrounded with those who knows about the values of your treasure, it would be tempered with cares, especially to with the lucrative ones who can play the roles of utilizing your funds to provide more incomes since the first party does not have the initiative idea to create alternative source of income in diversifications.

Warning: Do not accept that felling to had sitted on an inheritance throne or staying comfortable that you have secured long term riches when you have not alternated your Source of income to investments.

The worst ridiculous and ugliest moment I have ever encountered pertaining gambling is when a friend told me and few other friends that he was going to take responsibility of the bills for our weekend hangout.
He had us that confidence to be unfailingly.
Guess what???
It was actually from a game he booked against the weekend that had him that morale to had projected this weekend hangout amongst us and it was not that he had secured the money to be assured.

As a matter of fact, he was nowhere to be found all through the weekend and could not even take his calls because he felt messed up of himself for the false promises.
While time passes by, you can imagine how he narrated the stories and felt remorseful of being a d!ck head as the game failed him as predicted.

[Right in a summary:]

I have actually come across entrepreneurs and investors who had run mentally disabled and were rehabilitated due to weak emotional capacities to withstand the lost of their valuables not being affordable.

While I have also attended several business conventional concerts, there had been this health wise guide orientations that health is also wealth so we should always consider our healths while we are Investing our funds at the course of chasing incomes to secure wealthiness.

This is not just about setting up emergency budgets for healthcares such as when  we are down with the common illnesses such as Headaches, Mononucleosis, conjunctivitis, Diarrheas, Stomach aches and so forth which are most considered health wise.
If we ignore to consider investing what we can afford to loose, we could eventually be negatively affected on our mental faculties which we may never had expected it coming.
There is every possibilities of an investor to go psycho when looses beyond the capacity that their mental health could accept.
Failure to put this as concern and during investment we looses above our limits, we could be at every tendencies to be exposed to heart attacks or mental disorderliness as a matter of unbearable and dispersant shocks.

Sometimes ago, I reached out to my sisters husband on the phone and he sounded so frustrated and strange, while still on the phone, he cut off the call on me and I called severally he ignored the calls.
After some times I called on his wife to express the displeasure of her husband on me and she also said her husband has be acting strange some times now which I make out time and catch up with him as a friend I assumed he is to me.
Right before me he was really acting strangely but all I could figure out of It with our conversations was that he  invested his life savings and even borrowed some money in order to promote his profit potentials but it was unfortunate for him that the investment crashed and he lost it all.
I don't know if he invested it in a highily volatile and risky platform or that he fell scamming victim.


Right in a summary: let us also consider our mental State of health during when we are taking those risks of chasing wealths so that we can always Invest what we are  are affordable to loose.

Iran and Israel war has been trending since the weekend and it has caused lot of tensions not just within the concerned territories but insighting its possibilities of extension to other regions.

Right in, while Iranian government is celebrating that they have successfully hit Israel as a revenge, civilians whom are known to be defenceless and acknowledging that retaliation or war in general is never an option for a peaceful society are now living in the pool of fear and right as it is they are scampering to different places in taking cover measures Incase Israel decides to hit back.
Iranian government celebrates "revenge" strikes on Israel but civilians fear response


This should be an obvious note that the government engages on power tussles out of their political interests and no for the interests of their citizens else they would put some circumstances like this in considerations and just accept defeat without pulling a muscle if that would bring fortunes to their people and your slack to respond
would not mean that you are a weakly but having the welfares and orderliness of the masses as a prior and not engaging on the so supremacies where resources are termed a waste because wars does not bring any good returns rather than waste of lives and destructions of valuables all in disguise of enriching governments at the top in claim of fighting for the masses.

BIG LIE. Because the war is always irrelevant and unnecessary.
Sometimes ago I read a news headline where an analyst was comparing the capacities of the both countries on who has the best armies and weapons. All are being hyping and pushing the other to unnecessary engagements of wars.
Indeed the masses has no say when the government has decided. Believe it all that we as the masses are being used by the governments.

[Conclusion:]

While we are quite approaching the Bitcoin dip against the halving, lot of Investors are already muscled up to dive in accumulating more to their Bitcoin holdings and those who had held the high cost of Bitcoin values as excuse is also being attracted to Invest without cost excuses anymore.

Meanwhile... Due to the high rate of transactions fees, I can perceive it that lot of short term Investors would tend to have their assets stored in a Centralized blockchain for easy transactions in other to minimize transaction charges because they believe once they hits probably at the upcoming bull-run they would sell off their assets without holding for a long term.
They would actually ignore the fact that it is not about how long your assets stays in a particular blockchain that can get it comprised but base on how unlucky the investors can be despites how conscious they can be with their seed phrases.

So if you must be amongst of those with such mentality, I hope you get to be aware of how risky the system of storing your assets in a centralized network system could be because some investors whom had lost their assets stored in the exchange mostly wonders how come can it be possible to lost their funds when the assets has not stayed for too long there in the centralized platform.

Conclusion: Don't assume to scale through the high cost of transaction fees and get your funds get risked on the centralized exchange platforms.

What would make a government to rebrand their traditional currencies just to edit some graphic designs with excessive amounts of money bills involved to execute such project that doe not mean to brings more values to the currency neither does it boost the economy level of the nation?

Meanwhile such is been an undeveloped country which the implemented bill for such valueless project is big enough to create infrastructures with the potentials of building the masses with valuable skills and otherwise a national financial revenue.

Do we assume it is still one of the money laundering strategies that the government intentionally creates loopholes in other to steal the public funds? Because even after the implementations and execution of Such projects, the same governments clamours that the nation has run out of funds after giving accounts of those irrelevant executed projects.

[Lesson:]

It is necessary to remain loyal to those who mapped and engineered the foundation to that castle you are sitted on as a king in as much they do not tend to dethrone you nor devaluing your worth.
They would always know that secret pillar that holds the solidity of that mountain that had make you such a great man sighted in the great heel.

I brought this little tips up here because sometimes in life, once we have achieved some certain great heights, we usually feels that we have arrived to the point of independency with the guts of daring those whom had brought us that so far.
Some of us tends to turn vipers to those who had lead us so far simply because we have acquired all that required to dominate and possesses influences but I can tell you that.... Only one button can be keyed-in to ruin your efforts by he who masterminded that great man you are today.

Lesson: Loyalty fosters to promotion while disloyalty is toxic.

What is your opinion towards my research that online casino gambling has more of possesed players who stakes to make profits while the land base gambling is more of players who stakes for funs?

Do not be bothered if there is some kind of Irresponsible insightments towards your gambling stories,  just share with us here the reality facts because it would serve a long way to adjust and overcome some harmful gambling habits which we may ignorantly not know how harmful it could affect us.

But after hearing from others experiences, this could also inspire us on how to breed up our children hopefully after learning the unromantic behaviors of others kids adapting to gamble in an underage and those stealing from parents just to gamble without the knowledge of their parents.

So let's always feel free to share our gambling experiences nomatter how ugly it may be.

I ready a thread about this a gambler feeling remorseful of his college gambling experiences Of course, this is not something I am proud of and I do not recommend it to everyone, but it's just childhood memories

I literally do not know how the features or service offering terms that had Binance the most dominance global Crypto exchange in a global rate.
But since about a month now the Exchange was banned from transacting with my country after their encounters of legal disputes that the exchange offer services of trading the $ USD for # Naira currency which was pointed to be responsible why the # naira has been so devalued in exchange rate to the $ USD, the Nigeria government charged the exchange with $10 Billion which the exchange refused to comply and it lead to the disconnection of the exchange in the country.

As at now, ByBit has been adopted most famous in replacement of the Binance exchange platform by the local traders with the reason that the exchange’s low transaction fee—0.2%[/b] then follows by Kucoin exchange.

Why could Binance choose to discontinue trading with the Nigerian traders, is it that they don't find the $10 Billion worthy to pay at considering their own interests?

Is it also advisable to consider flexible uses or charge rate when considering an exchange to trade with on a P2P? Because I am wondering if the local Investors considers features of an exchange first or charging fees.

[BOSS LADY.]

During my job hunting era, I had this friend who we were into the job hunting together later on we departed variously aftermath I found a petty paying job which was better of comparing to my idleness (jobless). Time goes by when I learnt about Bitcoin and then I invested with the little I could afford.

It was amazing to see my asset growing which attracted me to keep holding, buying more and accumulating.
Thereafter the portfolio of my holding has smiles more than my job could be.
Within a year I met that of my old time job hunter friend but was already married then. So we discussed about life but yet things are not still alright with her because she is just a house wife whose husband does not want her to work for anyone. The husband was either a jealous one or being overprotective to his wife at such course.

She was so curious and inquisitive to learn about Bitcoin because she found it flexible to run considering her husbands decision and also stress economical unlike the conventional traders who has to labour and strategies on how to attract customers to them as business strategies is demanded just after I also shared about my Bitcoin journey with her.

I told her about the primary ethics and the elementary terms of Bitcoin and its potentials including the risks.
She decided to accept digging into it believing that if the Bitcoin markets can favour all of its Investors without being sentimental of favouring others while other investors are left behind and most especially as there is no business strategies in the Bitcoin investment then she would not mind investing in it.

As I told her to begin investing with what is affordable to loose, she began to cut cost of expenses from the groceries funds from her husband.
She was able to buy $10 of Bitcoin per week unfailingly and in less than 3 months, she was able to hit an income of 80% from her capital Invested without the knowledge of her husband.
There she found trust in the Bitcoin industry and then she told her husband that she has Bitcoin knowledge and knows about the industry so her husband can fund her to Invest on it so that she can also be financially independent .
Her husband was able to raise her $1K which she had it to accumulate more of Bitcoins using the DCA accumulating method and has also diversified her digital assets.
In less than a year, she called and told me that she felt being in the dark all those years when she has not been to the industry and now she is, she feels being in the light.
She basically buttressed more at how amazing someone can just Invest with a minimum amount and just matter of patient boom... You get to smile with the profitable potentials in the industry.

She felt regreted not to had embraced the industry before that time. I also let her know that such has been most of the Bitcoin investors expressions. We all doubted, ignored or were not in opportune to the industry earlier back then.

As at this time, she own a conventional trading firm where people works for her and she calls her self the BOSS LADY. Lol!
Interestingly... Her husband said she can not sideline him in that lucrative Bitcoin investment so him too has partake to also investing in the Bitcoin industry.

At a state you bets and looses and before your time-out based on your gambling budgets or plans you always recovers your lost without profits accounted, and you don't find fun in the games and this happens concurrently, Would you still consider to game in such casino site?
Or would you go for the one you would either loose of gains by profits or find funs gaming?

To me if profits and funs are not featured in gambling then I don't find any Interest in it

[My Wife]

While most of us thinks that there are only addicted gamblers who are reckless spenders, I want to let us know too that there are other reckless spenders who are even Irresponsible to their responsibilities and bringing about devalues to their influential personalities.

While in a sit out with friends last night, there was this honourable looking man who whose table was served with lot of expressive wines and edibles alongside with his friends too, While he is sitted very close to me, he was bragging and was even louder than the MC with the microphone saying... Life is sweet and we all have just one life so lets enjoy it to the fullest because while we are strong and healthy today, some are dead while some are in hospital.
Meanwhile we that are here do not know about our tomorrow so... Let's catch up the cruise of today because we are not sure of our tomorrow.
So he called in the waiter with more order placed.
As time goes but he was having incoming calls that he refused to answer and at last the call came I noticed he stored the number with My Wife and then he shutdown the phone to have his peace and concentrate on his enjoyment.

I am not sure of my instincts towards this man but with experiences from people of such nature, they are ones who lavishes their money on pleasures and does not have plans for their futures, they ends up regreting after much expenses when they runs out of funds. Then, they feels remorseful to had lavished their money on unnecessary expenditures and feels they had learnt their lessions but when they refills their pockets again they lost their responsible minds.
Meanwhile... They are usually the kind of people that budgets their incomes on unproductive and Irresponsible expenditures rather than spending on their families or even outdoors responsible spendings.

These are usually the set of persons that says... Had I know and once upon a time during their old ages after they must have spent their retirement resource at their youthful ages and end up being disregarded in the family and looses their influential values around the societies.
