1262  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Beware of such ads on Instagram & Facebook! on: May 01, 2023, 06:18:07 PM
I am still surprised why Meta does not make any effort to remove this type of content, even though they have enough capabilities, resources and technology to curb this fraud, if not reduce the fraud rate to zero.
The scammers are also lazy and their methods are easy to learn, however Meta leaves all the side to the users who waste their life effort believing these ads.

Does meta actually care about their users wellbeing, aren't they the same company selling their customers data to the highest bidders on the market and constantly tapping our device to find information they can use to make their service better (as they said) meanwhile we know the real reason behind them tapping our devices. A company that doesn't care about their customers privacy shoudn't be trusted and that's why I don't believe any ads I see on Facebook or any of their sister platforms like Instagram etc.

Meta only care about their revenue which is why they'll accept anyhow ads without doing their due diligence, and then instead of them using that revenue generated to improve their services, they'll use the money in focusing on the wrong things like lobbing persecutors to try to takedown their competitors like tiktok by labelling them the bad guys meanwhile it's facebook (sorry meta) that has been found guilty on numerous occasions of security breaches. OP nice update, people should just avoid meta platforms ads entirely to stay safe.
1263  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The two ways to invest in bitcoins. on: May 01, 2023, 06:02:30 PM
There are only two ways to invest in bitcoins from some topics I have read in this forum, to buy a big amount of bitcoins once and to buy small amounts regularly according to a plan.

Buying big - Although this is generally not advised, I think buying big can be good if you can afford to buy big and then follow up with adding small amounts to what you have. Buying big will help you get a good amount of bitcoins quickly.

How's this not advisable? If you have the money and don't want to stay updated with the market and also have very long term plans for your investment, you don't have to follow the DCA rule. You can just buy and lock them away in your private wallet. Let say I want to buy Bitcoin and hold for 10 years or more, you don't expect me to DCA when I'm a very busy man. I'll just buy as much as I can buy now that the price is very low and hold as both  DCA and buying with one purchase is all okay provided you understand the risk of both strategy.

DCA could make you miss buying Bitcoin when the price is very low, let assume bitcoin never goes below $30k again, it means you would had missed the chance of getting bitcoin this low while purchasing one time would be giving you the advantage of having more unit due to the low price. The reverse is the case if the price falls further than it is, in this scenario the users buying through DCA is at more advantage than anyone who purchased Bitcoin one time. Both strategy have their advantages and disadvantages.
1264  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What would the Bitcointalk Forum be like without Signature Campaigns? on: April 30, 2023, 09:16:43 PM
Therefore, I ask, what would the forum be like without signature campaigns?

Would it be more sanitized?
Would it be less filled with spams?
Would there be fewer alternate accounts?

I'll start with the last question, before I go on I want to clarify that the forum isn't against multiple accounts and neither is theymos and the administration of the forum too, what we're against are those using that privilege of having multiple accounts to abuse the forum or use them to try to scam anybody on the forum by manipulating their reputation. Signature has a  big contributions to the forum and without it been active, there'll be so much reduction in the activeness of the forum and that's a fact.  Obviously the forum would be more sanitizer and there'll be less spam and also alternative accounts since there's no need to get one to double your chances of higher payout.

I can't imagine bitcointallk without signature campaign and if there was to be a time that the forum won't have one, I won't be in support and that's not just because I'm benefitting from it but because we're in the 21st century and monetizing our content on social media is now a thing so the forum shoudn't be taking that away from her members instead we should be looking for ways to put hands together to make it better and less destructive if it becomes more damaging that spams and plagiarism become a norm.
1265  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Will you sell because of situations? on: April 30, 2023, 08:56:55 PM
This story is pathetic, the man who introduce me to bitcoin, his kid sis was knapped 2 weeks now and the kidnappers are asking for a huge ransom of  N10 Million Nigeria currency but the whole thing looks like a plan work from some people close to him because many people know him to be crypto dealer. Now this money is never available anywhere, the man's only option is to sell his bitcoin and even if he does is not up to the amount. Do you advise he sells and bail his kid sister?  Everybody is confuse.

But did they ask for the ransom to be paid in Bitcoin, if they didn't then I don't think this has to do with them knowing he's a crypto trader. Assuming they asked specifically for Bitcoin then we'll know the kidnappers were fully informed of the job of the victim. Kidnapping is a very lucrative business in Nigeria, the authorizes don't care much about this incidents anymore unless there's a high citizens involved like politicians or business man so bets the man who look for how to resolved the issue himself. If it has to be him selling his Bitcoin the. He should do that immediatetly and get the money to get his loved ones safe.

This kidnappers are very dangerous in this region as if you don't do as they say then you might never see your love one again, there has been cases of kidnappers trafficking their victims when their families don't respond to their demans. Most kidnapping incident that was uncovered has usually been traced back to the victims family or close friends as they were always insider job and I won't be surprised if this case is also an inside job. The victim shouldn't depend on the government instead he should do everything possible to get his kid even though he has to sell his Bitcoin, that's why I'll do.

I feel Real Madrid are at the brink of being dethroned from the Champions League title this season. Just watch the spectacular performance of Manchester city this season, you’ll only support that  Manchester city will win the champions league title this season. Pep once said, the only reason he hasn’t won the champions league with Manchester city is because Real Madrid is always there. But I’m sure this season, the feeling is not the same and Manchester city will be able to challenge Real Madrid to victory in this Champions League semifinals.

I heard Pep Guardiola is curse, atleast that's what podcaster say due to his misunderstanding with Yaya Touré and his agent way back, maybe this is the year to break that curse since their next opponents aren't in their best shape compared to other seasons. Real Madrid can't defeat Manchester city, they are desperate for the champion league trophy. Pep Guardiola and his boys has won everything locally and now they want to dominate Europe and to do that they have to win the champion league before moving on to win other competition that comes as a result of winning the champions league.

I just hope Haaland gets the ballon d'Or that he'll truely deserve after Manchester city achieved all this and not ghosting messi that has been silent since his one months glory at the world cup that were just filled with favored penalty he scored. I just feel if any club can defend the champions league trophy in this post Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi era, it has to be Pep Guardiola boys and to achieve that, they first have to win the competition which they'll be doing by eliminating their biggest competition which is Real Madrid.
1267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 29, 2023, 07:10:09 PM
Ngolo Kante's performance this season has been very less of the outstanding performances he's had since he joined Chelsea and that's understandably because of the injury that laid him off for a very long time but that doesn't stop Ngolo Kante from being one of the best midfielders in the world.
Chelsea's failure to qualify for UEFA Champions League football next season will seriously affect the future of their players. Not all of them would want to play for a club who will not be participating in the club football's most prestigious competition. So even if Barcelona fails to get the signature of Kante, he might still go to another big club

There are rumors of all Chelsea players taking a 30% pay cut since they won't be having a spot at the champions league next season and this I think will be among the major reason many players will be leaving the club next season. Football in this modern ages is all about money and no players really carries that love for the club narrative anymore because the club can always fail you at anytime, take a look at the situation with Mason mount, he's a grassroots Chelsea blood but the club doesn't care since he isn't accepting their offer. Same thing can happen to anyone, gone are the days why players had an advantage if they put the club first, now they have to put themselves.

Kante should take the offer, he has done his time at Chelsea and now he's basically worthless to the team since he's always absent due to his injury problem. The current Kante can't hold any club midfield defense in the premier league as he isn't 100 percentage fit. The medical team at Chelsea are a joke, they don't know how to manage injured players, Reece James is having same issue which is poor management and that's why they can't perform as they were previously before the injuries.
1268  Economy / Reputation / Re: Discussion on buying/selling accounts/users actively seeking possible bought acc on: April 29, 2023, 06:42:08 PM
People mind are already made up but since we're just sharing opinions on this thread, this is mine, previously, it was assumed that when accounts change hands through buying, it was to scam people on the forum with the reputation the account had with the previous owner but from the looks of things now, scamming isn't much of the threat on the forum anymore as people are getting more educated and informed. In recent days accounts now change hands through account buying for the purpose of earning through signature campaign or bounties. So how about we focus on removing those privilege from the accounts caught for this offense and this way we won't be destroying the accounts.

The moderates could disactivate the accounts when reported just as they did with plagiarism offenders that were found to be quality contributors of the forum. They can make the account not qualified to participate in signature or avatar campaign since the tagging doesn't stop them from joining campaigns as we have managers that doesn't care about our community guidelines and this current punishment just turns those accounts into spammers as I have noticed with lots of tagged bought accounts. Also to clear the air, I'm not supporting accounts buying but suggesting we try something else or isn't it the reason behind this thread creation @yahoo62278?
1269  Economy / Reputation / Re: Changed language in history. Bought? Hacked? on: April 29, 2023, 06:18:29 PM
I have no ideal what is going on. One ideal is costing 8 accounts.

They used to travel Nigeria and these sorts of countries to preach Christianity. Now bitcointalk members are taking over the religion and going to preach English.

That shouldn't be a reason to connect 8 accounts just because they made a mistake that's very common in the country (you think I'm joking check my posting history and and I have also used those words in the wrong places but I meant no harm and sometimes it's just Google chrome been stupid as it autocorrect my world incorrectly. I know how many times I had to stop to correct the auto-correct (funny right). There are so many words we Nigerians misplaced for each other when writing and it could be as a result of we writing fast and when we crosscheck by reading, since they words would sound the same, it won't be noticable to us.

Although english is widely spoken in the country, we have more good English speakers than writers, our common alternative which is pidgin and sounds very similar to English gets in the way when we're reading and make us not to notice the mistakes we made. I can go into giving some examples of the words that are usually been misplaced because I see them often on the forum from my brothers and I sometimes make the mistakes myself but that's a story for another day.

Ps: Sad this user/account is in this mess, he was quite an active user of the just approved Nigerian board, I just hope the tags doesn't stop you from been active on the board.

Is it better to have  a place to discuss only about NFTs?
I think that would be a good for NFT lovers

Wait, so we still have people falling for this scams called NFT that mostly their creators or influencer are those profiting from this trend while the rest of us buy worthless piece of arts that can be easily screenshots or shared. NFT are worthless and doesn't fit to have a board on its own. If we give NFT a baord then we have to be ready to give every trend that get introduced to the market their own board. After NFT are we also going to give Metaverse, AI , Defi etc their own boards? All this trends can still be classified as an altcoins or fits in the alternative discussion boards.

Best the forum avoids giving NFT much attention as any positive decision they take now would be interpreted by the members as some form of endorsement, if NFT gets its own board then the forum members would pick more interest in the trend and it would definitely end badly for them, many people have been rekted by investing in NFT and at this point, it's best to stay away from them. Just because people are been lucky and making money from it doesn't mean it's a credible form of investing, NFT aren't any different from memecoins to me, they all need the same type of hype (celebrity hype) for them to get value, they're worthless without that hype.
1271  Other / Meta / Re: Opinion/Recommendation: Autosave of drafts on the forum on: April 29, 2023, 05:10:28 PM
I don't know about you, but I've lost many of my drafted posts/topics due to my multitask attitude, system/browser malfunction, personal error and other reasons, which could be painful.

You made an excellent suggestion but as of press the forum no longer host any advertisement and aren't getting any commission from the hundreds of projects advertising on the forum through the various means the forum has made available for ads like signature, bounties etc. I know the forum administrative aren't complaining but is there any need for giving them more workload, you can just use the features that's already been in existence which is to preview your write up and they automatically saved as draft and those draft stay for a very long time.

I get the feeling of losing all your writes up after spending minutes and sometimes hours writing them (I have had similar experience) but we have to take it upon ourselves and be conscious) we can't rely on the forum on doing everything for us when they aren't generating revenue and basically running a charity program here. We're using this place for education, intonation and our various business free of charge so some minor issue can be sorted out by ourselves. Download a notepad on your mobile and you can carry out your draftiy there before copying and pasting on the forum if you feel the preview (draft) option on the forum isn't sufficient. Good suggestion though.
1272  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: [Opinion] Why translated topics are still on a single thread? on: April 27, 2023, 09:16:04 PM
We do not have Nigeria local board before, but now we have it. Why translated topics are still on a single thread? I mean this thread: Info-thread: Translation of Useful English topics to Naija languages, pidgin etc

Good suggestion, nothing bad to try am even though I no support the idea fully, this translation thread was made for the hangout thread when merit rush be come for translation posts and so far it served its purpose effectively and now since we dun get board, e make sense to stop am although I had some doubt on how spammy this place will look due to how poorly we dey translate (word for word, which can be very confusing) still e no stop the board from trying new things all for the sake of improving the board both in quantity and quality.

The new posts translation go definitely add more topics for discussion but I doubt the threads go get much engagement. Personally I dey against having empty threads as they sometimes represent less activities but for the sake of having more threads on the board I welcome the suggestion. Like this now as I dey write this post finish I go lock that thread and we can see how it goes. I pray it turns out to be very fruitful as all successful things here dey add glory to the board.

I would like to request for your review of the bounty campaigns raised in the Philippines threads. Despite English being widely spoken in their country, they often conduct activities in their local language with bounties. The project can extend to other sectors as well not only exchange .We can explore ideas beyond our current circle and seek investments from influencers we know to bring them to life. It doesn't make sense for Nigeria to have a significant investment in cryptocurrency without a creative presence.

Abeg the forum has nothing to do with investments or bounties officially and non of those has to be the concerns of members of this local board. What we need from users here is to stay dedicated to quality contributions. Make we no go put hand for wetin no concern us come go received negative feedback for been associated with projects wey we no know their left from right. We'll not be giving any financial advice or investment advise.

Abeg wetin we want from members here na steadily contributions to the growth of the board through their quality discussion and other social activities wey go help keep the board clean of spam and scammers like spam hurting and scam busting etc. Make we no go involve ourselves in other activities that the forum doesn't welcome openly. We no dey go meet any project or look for investments.
1278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: April 23, 2023, 01:24:56 PM
I did watch the scene and who cares whether he does it or not, but one thing I can tell is that he is only counting his money and nothing else. When you played in the Bernabeu for all those fans and you then sign a contract in Saudi Arabia, I think that is like not waking up from a nightmare. It's a different world and less authentic than in Spain or England and you can see how Ronaldo's body language speaks volumes.

Signing for the Saudi Arabian was already a big mistake by Ronaldo since majority of the football fans over there are messi fans and him winning the world cup with his display at the just ended world cup in their neighboring country Qatar, made more Arabic football fans fall in love with Messi. He'll always be used to torment Ronaldo. My worries is why is Ronaldo allowing his rival fans to get into his head. Lets assume he meant the gesture, why should he do such when he's meant to be a professional. He should take his revenge to the field as he always does when he was younger.

He should make his opponent pay for the disrespect by them conceding and get his team to winning ways by scoring instead of attacking the fans for disrespecting him. With the changes of habit by Ronaldo, he's giving the media what to talk about and make them look right with their earlier publication of him been the problem of the clubs he's playing for. He shouldn't be giving the media reasons to speak bad about him instead he should be proving everybody that doubted him wrong .
1279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 23, 2023, 01:14:52 PM
While Newcastle has been extremely difficult to beat this season and also has the premier league's best defensive record the Maggies have done well with some beautiful singing which had given them some level of confidence abt securing their spot in the champion league game they still have some top match to play as well to close the campaign, while Tottenham went into the campaign as title contenders under Antonio conte and we're unbeating over their first seven games but since a 3-1 to arsenal the have lost nine times and they also face three massive ties among the fellow top four contenders which man united, Liverpool and Newcastle and Liverpool are likely to determine if they will qualify for Champion league next season. It going to be a fight for the strong

It's quite surprising that a club like Newcastle united is comfortably going to the champion league next season, their match against Tottenham is already ongoing and Newcastle united is leading by 1:0 which was scored in the first minutes o f the game. Newcastle united has the best defense in the league this season so I doubt Tottenham will be getting something out of this game. As it stand on the table, Newcastle are now 3rd on the table and they're ahead of Manchester united on goal difference which is as a result of the contribution form the defense of Newcastle.

The success of Newcastle doesn't all have to do with them been bought by a rich owners or spending so much in the transfer window, look at Chelsea they spent the highest in the last two transfer window yet they're not in the top half of the league or competing for any trophy. They had the money but spent it wrongly while Newcastle spent theirs wisely and now they're benefiting. Also the sloppiness of other top clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham has contributed to their success this season.

Edit: As I was done posting, I just checked the scoreline and Newcastle united are leading Tottenham by 3:0 in just the first 10 minutes of the game.

Such a short period can hardly be called an era, but the beginning is terrible. Abramovich was probably in completely different conditions and was able to lift Chelsea from the depths to the top very quickly. Now the competition in the Premier League is extremely high and even if you make only the right decisions, it is not certain that it will give results.

That's very true, but we have to start from somewhere and making the right decision is the starting from somewhere. The club has made some mistakes in the past and till made another when they appointed Lampard in place of sacked Graham Potter. If the management of the club knew that they won't be appointing a new coach immediately then why did they go through the process of sacking Graham Potter, they would have allowed him to finish the season. The club has to start making the right decision so we can have something to fight for next season. We mightn't be in the champions league or ay European competition but we still have the premier league to fight for.

We have won the league before while having no league games to play which are usually distraction especially when you don't win them so we can do the same next season but to accomplish that we need a manager and the names that are coming up recently aren't the right persons we should be going to for help to rebuild the club. We need managers that have a resume others are frighten by. We need coaches that can win games from the press conference and not those that aren't outspoken like Pochettino.
