What a way to become champion for Fabio Wardley. Aleksandr Usyk decided to relinquished the WBO belt than to defend all his belts against Fabio Wardley. Fabio Wardley was due to face Usyk after defeating Joseph Parker, but Usyk choosed the easy way out. He thought it was better for him to relinquish the WBO belt than defend all his belts. Do you think Usyk made the right decision or he was afraid of facing the undefeated Fabio Wardley and risk losing all his bets?

I support Usyk decision to lose one belt this way than fighting and risk losing all belts.

Most of the posts I have come across here in the gambling section has always centered on negativity about gambling. If it's not about gambling making someone go broke, it will be about one negativity or the other. Sometimes reading the comments in those posts scares me, because of how some people describe their horrifying gambling experiences. This made me to come up with this post to ask this important question; Is gambling really that bad? Are there no good effects of gambling on people? Gambling can't just be all bad all the time. Well if you think it's all bad, why are you still gambling?

I live in an environment where people perceive smokers as bad people. They see a smoker as someone who is bad, Someone who is not loyal, someone who is stubborn and have no love in him, someone who can easily hurt others, someone who is capable of committing crime in the society. And many more I can't remember. Maybe when you read this you can add more to the list. The question is why are Smokers viewed this way in the society?

My people una dey see waitin dey happen with bitcoin price ever since the ETF approval. Many thought it was going to be an upward trends after the sec approval, but na different thing we dey see in the pricing of bitcoin. But I want you people to understand that this one na pure manipulation wey dem plan out so that weaker hands go sell off, so that the big players and institution buyers go fit come in and buy at a cheaper price. I want you to remember that there can only be 21 Million bitcoin that will ever exit, and the world population is over 8 billion and still growing. This will make bitcoin the most scarce commodity in the world in few years to come as the world population keeps  growing. Ask yourself why didn't Grayscale sell their bitcoin before now? Why are they selling now after ETF approval and halving just less than 100 days away? Yes I understand that everyone has the right to sell their bitcoin whenever they wish to do so. I am really convinced that something is going on behind the scene that newbies investors and weaker hands cannot see, but we that have been in the game (bitcoin investment) for long understand this trick. Make use of this opportunity and gather as much bitcoin as you can, because there is certainty that you will never regret buying it this dip (cheap price) in months to come.

 In bitcoin investment and cryptocurrency generally, One thing I have been hearing since I came on board is Bear season and bull season. Sometimes I get confused about how these things works. I went into research to know exactly what the bear and the bull season was. Initially I was thinking it was a special time each year where the bull and the bear will be put in a cage to fight each other. But after my research I understand their meaning and what they represent. But one question has been left unanswered, maybe I am missing something here. The question is how exactly does bitcoin obey the bear and the bull seasons. Because I have come to realize that after some certain number of years bear season will take over and same goes to bull season. Does it mean the same people that has been investing in bitcoin in the bull season take a break from the bitcoin investments and this makes the prices goes down for the bear to return or is there something that is build in the bitcoin blockchain that makes it obey these two seasons naturally?

My people shey una see how the fuel subsidy removal has affected our economy. I keep asking my self what would have been the situation of the country economy if the president on his inaugural speech had said we are ending fuel subsidy and now we are using that same amount of money paid for subsidy and investing it on Bitcoin. And also made a bold declaration that the country has lifted all the ban placed on financial institutions facilitating cryptocurrency transactions and asked the central bank to unblock all accounts that has been blocked due to cryptocurrency transactions.
I think this would have strengthened our Naira against the USD.

 About one or two months ago I created my first thread about my regrets for not not getting into bitcoin on time when I was first introduced to it by my friend many years ago.
And how I have made a decision to start my bitcoin journey because I now realized I made the biggest mistake of my life back then. Before my very eyes I have seen bitcoin turn the life of people around and gave them financial freedom.
I must say the truth since I made that first post I didn't just feel relaxed. Firstly I went ahead to read the bitcoin whitepaper to have a full knowledge about what bitcoin was all about. And I was glad I read that whitepaper. After that I took some drastic actions to make my first bitcoin investment. I did something which is making everyone around angry and he complaining bitterly about that. I sold our family land and used the money to invest on bitcoin. Initially I told them I want to sell the land and use the money to travel abroad. If I had told them I wanted to invest it in bitcoin they wouldn't have allowed me sell the land. I have tried educating them about bitcoin but they were not just interested to listen to me as they are all illiterates. Now the truth has finally come out and everyone is on my neck to get back the money. I told told them I invested the money, they thought I have spent the money on women and other things. I have been abused several times but I don't care because I know the money is safe and never lost. I understand that in everything good there must be some challenges and set backs. My resolution to invest in bitcoin is final and there is nothing anybody can do about it.
 

E get something wey dey bother me like this for some time and this this thing don too much and I don decide to bring am out make other country people put their mouth for this matter. Why be say we Naija people believe say anything wey we dey suffer na spiritual attack, without seeking for scientific explanations. Even the evidence dey show say the thing get scientific solution most Naija people go still believe say na spiritual problem. We don give room to this spiritual houses to exploit and milk us dry and many of them they lavida from our ignorance. I get one friend wey been no well, the guy start to dey misbehave and e dey show say na mental condition but the parents and other close relatives come dey think say na juju dey hold the boy. The guy been dey act normal but suddenly him come dey act like say him dey run mad, if you and am dey talk him go dey talk off point. You go tell am something and him go relpy you with another thing come dey laugh join. The people come they go prayer houses and herbalists them place dem spend money on goats and fowls for sacrifices. After many months the boy situation come dey worst more than before. I been don suggest for them make them carry the boy go Psychiatrist hospital, but them no agree them say na juju wey dey family house dey do the boy. After some time when dem don do everything and nothing happen na there them come approach me say that hospital wey I been talk say make we go there. Na so I carry them go the hospital for rumigbo inside Port Harcourt. After the doctor attend to the boy and test was conducted, dem come discover say na one condition wey dem dey call dementia dey worry the boy. Na so them recommend drugs and injections wey the boy go dey take every month. Today the boy don dey normal and don get him life back. The thing come be say him dey on drugs monthly and the doctor say thank God say we come the time wey we do, say if to say we waisted more time say the boy for don mad finish. Something wey I want make we know be say no be everything wey dey do us be spiritual. Most people wey dey mad for street today no smoking or durgs make them mad and no be even people wey be their enemy make them mad. Some na cases wey be like this my friend own but people over look am say na drugs, smoke, or spiritual attack. To know more about this condition you can read more here. https://celebrateseniorliving.org/2023/04/19/different-types-of-dementia/ Knowledge is power. Before we conclude say something na spiritual make we make sure we don try and there is no medical or scientific explanation to the problem. Many people they they suffer today because people around they are ignorant. I believe we can still do more to save people that have this similar cases from running mad totally and other people passing through other conditions by always suggesting science first before spirituality.   

I was traveling from Port Harcourt to Bayelsa state yesterday afternoon, we go to a police check point and it was the Federal Sars men that stopped us. While they were doing their lawful duty of searching the vehicle and the passengers in it, a girl that was sitting behind me made a comment and the officer that was conducting the search heard her loud and clear. She said '' You people are just wasting our time, if it were the bad boys terrorizing the region you people won't stop them''. The Sars man got angry and asked the girl to come down from the vehicle, the girl came down and she was taken into their custody for further questioning about her comment. The officer asked the driver to carry the rest of the passenger and continue with the journey. Some passengers pleaded with the officer to let the girl go but they refused, they said the girl must show them evidence where she saw them not stopping bad boys. They accused the girl of working with bad boys. The girl was detained while we continued with our journey.
The girl wouldn't have found herself in that situation if she had kept quiet without saying a word.
we should learn how to control our tongue at all time. Don't say unguided words when in public place.
Don't say anything when your opinion is not sought after in a public place because you don't know who is who.     
I feel like sharing this so that we can avoid some unnecessary problems in our lives.

When I was in high school my biology teacher told us during our class that we shouldn't eat more than one egg a day. I have always believed this to be true, whenever I see someone eating more than one eggs, I always felt they are ignorant but the truth is I have been the one who has been ignorant that we can eat as many eggs as we want in a day. I relied in what my class room teacher taught me without carrying further research on my own. I recently found out that there are no rules governing how many eggs we can consume in a day. Has anyone had similar experience?

I have made a bold decision to start my bitcoin journey. But just like every a new born baby needs close care and attention to grow I really don't want to make a mistake in any thing I am doing. I have this question to ask.  
''Is it advisable to to have a mentor who I can always go to as a newbie in the crypto space or I should rely all my knowledge on things I read online for my growth.

I was introduced to bitcoin in 2013 by my friend, but I was skeptical about it. Back then I believed it was one of those investment schemes that usually crash within a short period of time . My friend tried everything he could to make me understand that bitcoin is the future of money, but I gave him no listening ears, he got tired of talking to me about bitcoin. I was waiting patiently for the day he will come crying to me that bitcoin has crashed and all his investments gone.
But to my biggest surprise and to my loss, I have been waiting for over a decade now and bitcoin has never crashed instead it has been gaining popularity and global adoption. My friend who first told me about bitcoin is now a millionaire in dollars. This happened before my very eyes and I have been a regret for not listening to him when he was talking to me about bitcoin. I haven’t made any significant progress in my financial life since then, but I was presented with the opportunity to change my narrative ten years ago but I couldn’t. Today marks it exactly ten years since my friend talked to me about bitcoin. I decided to take the bold step to adopt bitcoin and spread the knowledge to others. After reading many articles about bitcoin I have come to realize that bitcoin is the future of money. I have also learned the bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme. But I am ready to start up this journey with due diligence and continuous learning because knowledge is power. I will do my best to promote bitcoin to the people around me, to the villages and communities around my region. I’m doing this so that people will get to know the truth as I don’t want others to have the regrets I have today. I want to give people the same opportunity that my friend gave me ten years ago. I will do my best and the choice is theirs to make. I will never give up on my quest to spread bitcoin to others. So help me God!!
