Binance is a third party and not directly related to Bitcoin, so you shouldn't base your Bitcoin or crypto decision on them.
All centralized exchanges (coinbase and binance included) are prone to hacks and crashes and are dependent on the developers.
Bitcoin operates efficiently without them and if you wish to consider it, there are open source custodian wallets you can use, as well as decentralized P2P exchanges for exchanging Bitcoin, or just directly trade P2P.

• Do not store your funds on a centralized and custodian platform,
• Do not submit your personal details to them either.

• The statistic supporting a local board for the Nigerian community have been laid out already and in several posts

• The problem with communicating through a local thread has also been expressed as it reduces the flow of discussions as well as maing it a difficult read,

• The solution to this problem would be a local board with possible child boards which would give more legitimacy to the community, connect more Nigerians on the forum and make it easier for information to be passed around.

I'm also requesting theymos to consider the plea of the members of the Nigerian community for a designated local board.

I do not think I have seen a post which compares relatively which DCA technique could be more profitable in terms of aount of bitcoins acquired. If DCAing, j personally would prefer it to be as simplistic as possible, this involved buying a specific amount, at a specific time.
Timing red candles or price drops dives into the area of trading and could be complicated for someone who simply wants to own some bitcoins.

Some would argue that DCA helps someone who doesn't have a lump sum available to build a structured way to stack up their portfolio.
They could for instance set aside 10% of their earnings every week or month to buy Bitcoin.
It also helps with indecisiveness, as some with money to invest would want to pick their best possible time to buy.

The game is very open and both teams threaten when they go forward with beautiful end to end play.
Getting the first goal in the second half would be very crucial in deciding the game;
• If that goal goes to Manchester City, it could decide the game, creating a deficit that would be difficult t overcome.
• If Liverpool gets the first goal, we are back level and it's anyone's game from then on.

Great game.

This case is quite different from the guy who inadvertently threw away his hard drive which contained his private key.
This involved 7,500BTC not 79k and happened in 2013, not 2011.

Those bitcoins are almost certainly lost for good as the hard drive would likely be irredeemably damaged by now even if it was found, which is an impossible feat as well.
The current case which the OP is discussing could still b a wallet which someone has access to, so it can't be determined that they are lost.

It essentially does. Seedphrase serves as a fail safe system which you can use to recover your address should you lose other modes of access. Reason why it would be kept secure and possibly duplicated in different locations.

2FA serves more as a means to prevent breaches through your device and is not much recommended cause it involves a bit of centralization

Countries can simply ban Russia's digital blockchain and not interact with it as a way of imposing sanctions, just as some countries have done with Bitcoin. Of course it would be possible to trade it P2P without banks or government intervention, but this would have little effect to the country as majority the trades that boosts economies do not happen covertly, but rather publicly between Nations.

Few weeks ago, Russia requested that E.U Nations purchase their oil in ruble as a way to boost the currency and in turn the economy.
Creating a CBDC would not evade sanctions, it would just be another centralized digital currency.

Everything wey dey happen for this country just dey show that the insecurity we dey experience dey sponsored by the state (government).

How else wey terrorism go dey since 2010 or even earlier, and yet there has been no solution to it with all the military force and even support from other countries.
You no fit travel by road or train safely and no he everybody fit afford flight. It's just a failed state at this point.

This could be the link to the mailing list, where the supposed quote was gotten from.

Firstly, you cannot base someone's believe on one quote, Satoshi has lots of quotes which shows his thoughts about bitcoin.

Secondly,  I would not say it shows uncertainty or lack of assurance. It could just be a way to pass the message. If I were introducing Bitcoin to others back then when little knowledge was known about it, that would likely be how I do it.
Very few people then were going to share satoshi's enthusiasm and trust in the design, so best to make it easier for them to get on board with it.

This is an old and tired argument. Fiat has for many years before Bitcoin been a medium for illegal transaction and money laundering and the most popular one at that. Scammers would go after anything of value, from gold to gift cards, this does not mean they fund illegal activities.
About the privacy argument; While Bitcoin is pseudo anonymous, it is very transparent and traceable, so it's possible to trace the trail of a transaction. More traceable than physical cash.

The insecurity is an actual reason to want a decentralized network which gives the user control over their assets. This is accentuated by the poor fiscal policies being made by governments and banks, making banks very prone to inflation and devaluation.

What "coin" are you talking about?

When investing, you need to do your own research on what you plan to buy, this involved knowing how it works and how to secure it.
Long-term investment involves holding for a couple of years or much longer, but this would only apply to assets which have actual value and which would be able to hold that value.

Majority of coins in the crypto market now do not have actual value and would be valueless in two years or less, but some have held their value for 10+ years and is still growing.

• Do your research,
• Buy, (You can DCA)
• Store in a secure wallet
• Back up your seed phrase,
• Hodl.

The objective of being decentralized means that there is no central authority, anyone interested can see what's going on and contribute to it as well, creating a consensus. A closed source software cannot achieve these and users cannot verify the code.
With a cryptocurrency which is closed source, you have to trust the devs and Connor verify instead.

Imo, No. It can be non custodial and still be centralized.

That's exactly what I was talking about in my reply.
If there is not enough inventive to mine Bitcoins, then it creates a security risk as more people could be less motivated to switch on their rigs, resulting in less hashrate and security.

The alternative is Bitcoin rises to make tx fees more expensive, enough to motivate people to actually invest in mining, but this eojmg affect the general users as transacting would be more expensive and holders would be demotivated to actually send bitcoins.

There were no surprises from today's game. Manchester city and Liverpool were expected to win their matches and Manchester city's were expected to be more difficult as they were facing a much more tougher opponents that Liverpool.

The success of English teams in European competitions continued and both teams won tonight have one leg in the semif finals, if they can put up a similarly impressive performance in the 2nd leg of the tie.

That would be an extreme and ironically ineffective measure. The merit system already functions as a motivation to encourage more users to make quality content as without quality content, one would not be able to rank up.

The feature I'm looking forward to seeing is the newbie welcome message which has been discussed extensively on the forum. Hopefully it's added sooner or later h new forum software is launched with it added.

Debruyne has given Manchester city the lead at the 70th minute, and it's nothing less than they deserve.

Manchester have dominated the match and that is reflected in the statistics so far. It's still a anyone's game though, as there's still about 120 minutes to go in the tie and Atletico Madrid have the quality to hurt any team at any time.

The idea of doing your own research is to do your inquiry and not just take an advice cause a user said so.

For example, if a YouTuber makes a video about a new trading strategy, and says you should not take their word as financial advice; It means you should research more on that strategy, and possibly try it out in demo mode to confirm that it works, that way you will see the result of the said strategy and if you choose to adopt it, it would be because you've seen it work and not cause someone said so.

Do more personal research and verify the content rather than trusting the person's word.

The fact that it's a take token, which creates a phishing website to mimick am original platform with the intent to steal visitors details already makes it a scan attempt. Scammers don't force anyone to fall victim, they lure them in with tempting offers.
The issue is whether or not the offer of the free tokens would be enough to attract users to try and sell, in what situation they will be led on to the scam website.

To protect oneself, any unsolicited offer, by email, wallet address, SMS or any other form should be ignored.

This is a Bitcoin oriented forum and as such, it would be the overwhelming favourite when you ask s question like these, and it actually is the favourite for the majority of people as the first, most valuable and popular crypto, so people would have researched on it more.

For more diverse opinions, you can move this to altcoin discussion or create another create a new thread asking for which altcoin users know more about.

Except that they are. The idea that an investment can work without any actual means of cash flow but rather depending on investment funds is dubious and unsustainable; Any one who organizes a Ponzi scheme understand that it would be crashing at any time and would take steps to secure their loot earlier whole waiting for that.

There's a limit to how long one can recycle money among investors before the whole charade crashes.
