1  Other / Off-topic / Can you be bold enough To introduce your gambling Mate To your spouse on: April 14, 2024, 12:32:57 AM
Yesterday something happened I Was shocked And speechless, because I know quite Alright that I cannot even try it with My Wife . I Was standing patiently AT the Bus Station waiting for Bus with so many other Persons there Too with same reason , a man walked To bus Station with his Wife And he saw one of his friends sitting down with us and he shouted his name ‘charles’ you are here ,And immediately he Turned To his Wife ‘darling ‘ meet My Friend Charles we both play gamble AT same place And the Wife responded positively.

At that point I Was a bit confused If the man is actually proud To announce To us that he is a gambler or If he does not have any other way of introducing his Friend to his Wife , though I kept every of My thought in My mind because speaking it out will not make any difference.however, the question here is ‘can you be bold enough to introduce your gambling mate to your wife’.
2  Economy / Gambling discussion / Why do some people hide to gamble on: April 11, 2024, 06:21:26 PM
I was walking down my street this evening I saw some group of guys in a hidden corner of an uncompleted building playing WHOT games ordinarily I felt they are just spending usual time as friends and that they are playing the WHOT game to keep themselves busy while discussing.

But when I got closer to them I discovered that there was a dirty container close to them and inside the container is money they bet for the game they are playing , and if not careful observed you will never believe that they are playing bet games .

My curiosity led me closer to them I was interacting with one of them and at same time observing what they are doing , one thing I observed was that they stake with huge amount and they don’t give you change even when your money requires change instead you will use it and bet for another round.

So at this point I decided to bring it here to know or see different views from different intellects here on why do some people hide just to gamble or if it is the best way to gamble ?.
3  Economy / Gambling discussion / How do you feel when you experience violence while gambling on: April 09, 2024, 10:43:35 PM
Have actually been hearing many people saying that they gamble for fun or enterteinment And not for the money , this has also been My perception Towards gambling If not for the small money I often make Sometiemes But this idea changed this evening when i went To a game house To play some betting games.

This evening i actually realized that some people see gambling as a means of livelihood, i Was At a game house today watching some Guys play snooker betting  And their games where actually funny And entertaining till one of the Gamblers lost all his money to his fellow Gambler And he became very violent And started a fight with his colleaque that resulted the attention of the Police Force. The Police arrested everyone including the owner of the betting shop And insisted that we will all bail ourselves with money before we can go home freely .

This idea gave me the impression that some people can be very dangerous as a result of lossing money while gambling And i aslo learnt My lessons today . However, i Dont know If you have actually experienced such things At the betting shops And If yes How do you feel or react At the situation? .
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Have you achieved anything from gambling on: April 09, 2024, 01:11:15 PM
Hello pals , this might Sound Crazy And funny But there are some meanings To It when looked At critically ,I Was having some chats with My colleaques in the Office And I told them that I am waiting for the right Time to stake my bets online and one of them opted that he hates gambling and that he has never achieved anything from the money he makes while gambling , and that he either Drinks with The money or goes to club with his girl Friend and many more unfortunate reasons .

Still on the matter another colleaque of mine backed him up saying that since he started gambling that he has never achieved anything tangible from gambling and that he feels that something mysterious is associated with the money he makes from gambling.

Lastly , i Dont know If you have achieved anything from gambling or you have same perception like my colleaques But for me i have achieved something reasonable and tangible from gambling , So please friends let me see your opinions on this .
5  Other / Beginners & Help / The identity of the bitcoin founder. on: March 28, 2024, 03:46:03 AM
This might look very crazy, but it is very important that i know it, i was having a friendly chat with my bosom friend and some of our fellow students, and we were discussing on how to manage our funds and how to make proper investment without fear of scammers and other related criminal effects on the invested funds.

While still deliberating on the issue i told them that i have already invested in bitcoin and some other Altcoins, i also made it very clearer to them that cryptocurrency is the only way out for financial freedom considering the lingering economic crisis. more still, i told them that someone introduced me to this forum bitcointalk that if they want to know more about bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large that they should join the forum and gain more knowledge about it, they all accepted but one of them came up with a shocking question which i cannot answer and i know that some of the newbies like me do not know the answer too to the question and that was why i decided to bring it here .

He came up with this question 'why is the identity of the bitcoin founder (Satoshi Nakamoto) remained unknown'?,  i will be very glad if any of the high ranked members can provide us with the answer so we can add it to our knowledge too. thanks.
6  Other / Beginners & Help / How do you feel when you earn merits in your post or replies. on: March 23, 2024, 03:17:21 AM
Before i started making a post or replies as a newbie, I explored the forum and I saw different usernames and ranks with so many earned merits and post counts, at first i was confused and very scared because I don't know when I will get a single merit not to talk about multiple merits of the legendary ranks.

Because of fear and huge phobia to write nonsense, I started reading the posts of high ranked members, precisely from full member rank up to the legendary rank to know how they organize their words and come out with a quality post. I was very comfortable reading their threads and learning how they arrange their topics to fit the forum standards, so many of the high ranked members are good quality posters i must confess, i did not want to mention names here but permit me to tell you that fillippone inspired me a lot with his writing skills and his organization of words.

lastly, my first post was not merited and the feeling is not something I can say here, but I was still very curious and anxious to learn how to earn merits then, my second post was merited and that was when I felt that am beginning to understand the forum because i was very excited at my first merit even when I know that I don't have much merits now but that first feeling gave me hope that I will succeed and  learn more in the forum . So, friends  i will like to see how you felt at your first merits if you can make out time to share with me thanks.
7  Economy / Trading Discussion / Success is a meaningless word without failure. on: March 18, 2024, 02:19:26 AM
The forum has been very interesting since the bull run started because there are so many positive confessions by so many of us here about how the price of bitcoin has gladdened their hearts positively.

However, I decided to put up this topic because while exploring the forum i saw so many complaints about trading , many have lamented that they have lost a lot of money trying to trade, some also said that they are good in demo accounts but while trying to trade with their real accounts they end up losing money and some also said that they bought so many courses online and that they learnt how to trade yet they are afraid of losing their small capital , so the question here now is 'who is ready for failure while everyone wants to be successful'?

success is actually meaningless word without failure, because most of us loose some of their trades and at same time feel very disappointed because they only focused their mindset on making profits alone without anticipating any chances of loss or failure. losing a particular trade or several trades does not really make you a failure instead it gives you the opportunity to embrace every important lesson that you failed to achieve in your missteps or in your wrong turns.

Lastly, please my fellow beginners let's not be discouraged by the number of losses or failures we experience while trading because failure begets success, also we should focus more on hodling coins even when we trade because we cannot predict the price fluctuations of coins in the future.   


     
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / your perception about gambling on: February 29, 2024, 07:27:45 PM
I decided to come up with this topic because of an experience i had yesterday and i decided to bring it here for clarity sake and to see some people's view about it.

There is this notion the society placed on those who gamble or who play all sorts of games ,be it casino,bet9ja,R/S lotto, what, snooker and many others. They often see them as those who don't have what to do ,or caliber of individuals who are jobless, a set of people who are not well trained by their parents and many more other names they call them.

i sincerely came up with this topic to find out why they have such views on individuals who voluntarily went to the betting shop to gamble either to win and make a difference or to lose and remain the same way.  This idea actually started when i saw a pastor playing bet9ja after a brief evangelism and one elderly woman made a side comment ( That even man of GOD also play gamble) .

however, my question here now is : is gambling restricted to some certain kind of individuals or class?  or is there any stratification when it comes to playing gambling ?please your opinions here will actually quench my curiosity.
9  Other / Beginners & Help / The power of consistency, patience and perseverance . on: February 26, 2024, 06:14:19 AM
Recently i have observed that some new from users are unable to develop consistency in their contributions maybe because they feel that their opinions are not relevant ,lacks quality and many more .

The forum is actually a very tough place ,but the only way to survive it's toughness is when you are consistent  in your contributions ,patient and also try as much as possible to  eliminate phobia .

furthermore, don't feel that your opinions are not noticed ,they are actually noticed and recognized but just know that nothing good comes easy and don't be discouraged maybe because you have not been merited . However ,  i have seen some newbies here with 100 activity and 0 merit please don't be discouraged or feel that you don't know how to make quality post ,just know that those post are very relevant and time will come when they will be merited.

lastly, always see the high ranked members as motivation because they where once newbies ,they also made some similar mistakes like you and i but patience, consistency and perseverance brought them thus far. following their footsteps will enable us grow they are here as helpers ,moderators and instructors . sometimes they might criticize your post , don't panic or feel bad just have it mind that it is a way to make you grow like them because when you are criticized you learn more.  
10  Other / Beginners & Help / The uniqueness of time and its dimension on: February 21, 2024, 04:20:36 PM
Change they said is the only thing that is constant in life  and also time in a lay man’s understanding waits for no one .

The fluctuation of coins this period shows that there is need to work with time and buy coins as at when due , the current rate of usdt/to other currencies are quite alarming and most of us have missed the opportunity to buy bitcoin when the price  was very low and we kept on saying that it will come down .

There was a time when usdt was very low and people failed to use the opportunity, keeping in mind that with time it will come down , this idea is quite deceptive because we can’t predict the next minute in cryptocurrency.

However, I will advice every bitcoin enthusiast or cryptocurrency trader or hodler to seize every opportunity he or she sees to buy coins because time management is natural and cannot be stopped.

11  Other / Politics & Society / What is the benefit of taking hard drugs on: February 18, 2024, 07:42:55 AM
I was going through some articles and comments on twitter and this question struck me so I decided to bring it up here .
There are some drugs that are quite medicinal and has serious effects on human beings especially when misused or abused . But the idea of people taking high level of hard drugs is what I can’t place my thought on because it makes feel that everything is not normal on them .

However, people go to grave yards to exhume the bones of dead bodies just to collect their bones grind it and smoke it , some will also go to the length of breaking sucker pit just to inhale the substances there for a reason I don’t know . So please I now ask again, is there any benefit of taking hard drugs ?
12  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / The uniqueness of love on: February 08, 2024, 10:50:29 AM
Greetings to all Nigerians here , I sincerely congratulate you all for the massive win yesterday .
The effects of kindness is something one cannot predict , Nigerians even in their worst stage now were very glad to come out in mass to support our players , considering the dollar to naira rate, economic crunch and total hardship yet the citizens were very glad to support their super eagle players .

Additionally, the economy has not been friendly to her citizens , but the citizens are kind enough to support the country , learn to love and also think very deep to accept love because love forgives , love is unique , and love is considerate .
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / The dynamics in football on: January 31, 2024, 07:48:36 PM
African football has made me realised that life itself is a risk and nothing on earth is certain apart from death.
From the group stage of Afcon my friend Made some predictions and also placed so many bets that Senegal and Morocco are one of the best choices to lift the cup . His predictions in a lay man’s comprehension looks real because the both countries are performing extraordinarily well in terms of playing and composure .

Additionally, most countries were impressed with their level of performance, but football is more of chances and predictions with a lot of probability attached ,But below are Some of  the critical factors that defines the dynamism of football.

1. OVER CONFIDENCE , most of the players believed that they have more advantage than others And that they play more of International clubs than local clubs .

2.HARDLUCK: some players will play exceptionally and perfect football but most times they might run out of luck .

3.CHANGE : one of the things that is constant in life is change , no one predicts tomorrow and there is possibility that the people you let down will later stand out .

4.DOMESTIC FACTORS: sometimes the players might not be happy with the coach or that they are not comfortable with the formation that the coach adopts .
 Finally , football is a game of luck and chance , and that it is only the final whistle that  decides the winner.
So guys I will be glad to see your own view on what lead to the dynamic nature of football.

14  Other / Beginners & Help / How much Did you like this forum on: January 25, 2024, 09:39:01 PM
Information they said is power And when you are not informed you are emphatically deformed. I never knew that such forum exist not until September 2023 while I Was discussing with My Friend concerning a Course that I paid online To learn And get more knowledge about bitcoin and crypto currency  At large.

He sincerely told me that i Did not need any Course To widen My horizon that I should just join this forum that anything  relating To bitcoin And crypto currency is discussed here in details , I Was not Too certain with his explanantion till the day that I joined the forum. I may not have learnt alot But the forum is one of the Good things that happend To me last year because I stopped paying for Courses online ..

Furthermore ,I Dont know How much you like the forum , But To me this is the best forum I have ever joined in  life with a higher prospect , here I see people  contribute awesomely And knowledgeably To a particular discussion , people relate like brothers And Sisters , High ranked members always correct the newbies And many more .

Lastly ,I know that I am still new on the forum  But I will also plead that the High ranked members should also continue guiding us Till we grow like them .
15  Other / Beginners & Help / What is signature campaign all about on: January 22, 2024, 07:38:31 PM
Hello my fellow forum members , please I don’t know if It will be nice for me to ask this question here because while going through some boards I came across child boards , gambling ,services and so on and when I opened the services I saw some mangers advertising some sites to work on .

Additionally, the managers where very specific of the ranks that will apply for the campaign , some will say from members down to legendary while some will say from full member down to legendary, please I am confused here and I don’t  know if one the mangers will make out time to educate us the newbies about the signature campaign and the need for it thanks  .
16  Other / Beginners & Help / How much knowledge is enough to satisfy an individual on: January 21, 2024, 06:56:28 PM
Sincerely speaking , I have been thinking on how to put up this post and the right board that will be suitable for it.
Insatiability has been one of the features of an individual and that has increased my level of curiosity because I don’t know when all the problems of men will be dully solved and that was why I came up with this topic (how much knowledge is enough to satisfy an individual).

Research has it that no man is satisfied with what he has . I also went further to check the profile of most prominent men that have existed and also existing and I realised that most of them have enough money yet the are still searching for more , they have power and yet they are still fighting to get more power ,they have assets yet they are still buying more properties, and I ask again when will they be satisfied?.

Additionally, I have seen so many academia , professors , yet they are still fighting for more knowledge, and the question here is when will they be satisfied?.

Even in this forum I have also seen high ranked members who are staff and with thousands of posts and merits yet they also post every day hoping to be merited as well , and the question again here Is when will they be satisfied?.

Finally , I have also seen my friends bitcoin wallet with so many coins in dollars yet they buy bitcoin every day , trade everyday , HODL coins everyday , so the question here is when will they be satisfied?
However, I will be very glad if someone can highlight more on this and educate me more thanks .
17  Other / Beginners & Help / Newbies how do you feel when your post is criticised. on: January 16, 2024, 12:46:58 PM
Before starting this topic so many things have been on my mind because I know how it pains for someone to criticise a write up or a post.

In a forum like this where so many intellects are contributing to a particular discussion there is always a room for criticism and the ability for you as newbie to absorb it as a learning process makes you unique and smart . For me Criticism is a process of learning because when ever I am been criticised I usually seize the opportunity to add more knowledge because I often see it as a corrective measures to widen my horizon .

Additionally, I will sincerely advice all the newbies who are quick to anger or discouraged when their post are been criticised to see it as a means of learning and not to react rudely because mistake brings correction .
18  Other / Beginners & Help / Patience is power on: January 15, 2024, 02:30:58 PM
Initially before this forum , I was active in trading crypto which sometimes my analysis will enter for me and I will make some money and at a point the phobia of loss enveloped my thought and I stopped trading crypto because of series of losses but when I joined the forum ( bitcointalk) I read a thread that talked about patience and that all the newbies should Hodl coins instead of trading and that they should go through what the high ranked members post before making their own post and after going through series of threads I decided to read as much as I can and to hodl as much as I can and now all my technical analysis are going towards my direction and the chances of loss has reduced however, I thank all the High ranked members for their advice and at same time ,I urge all the newbies to be patient enough to read more post before posting .
19  Other / Politics & Society / How do you see young girls who engage into prostitution on: December 28, 2023, 10:48:56 PM
Unarguably, we are in a time where men find every opportunity to devalue women especially young promising girls with bright futures just for fun or one interest or the other .one day I saw a young girl been dropped out of a vehicle and she turned mad immediately and I was confused because most young girls have failed to work rather they choose to sleep different men just to buy iPhone or latest hair or dresses and so on.

However, my question here is “do women actually sell their integrity for phones, cloth , hairs, or bags ?and it is quite disheartening that most of them are used for money rituals just because of their laziness and quest for material things so I now ask ‘ is prostitution the best option for a young lady ? Please guys I will really love to hear your opinions on this !
20  Other / Serious discussion / Why do people Choose To snap pictures than to help another in an accident? on: December 13, 2023, 02:21:15 AM
Frankly speaking I have seen people in several occassions where an accident happens they will gather around And will be making videos And snaping instead of helping the people or even atleast givie  them first aid assistance or even call some government agencies for emergency assistance But they will rather Choose to snap pictures , shout , search the victim’s Pocket to steal their money And all that .

My question here is , will such videos And pictures save people’s life ? So lets enligten ourselves on this , And what could be the best solution To this? Or will the pictures or videos serve as first aid To the victims ?
