Not necessarily. Leaving any situation where you feel you are underpaid is always the best option. I however think the idea of becoming an entrepreneur should not be oversold, it is a huge risk as well as lots of work.
Simply jumping out of your job would not work out for everybody, an alternative would be to start whatever venture you wish to get into and juggle that with your job, this way you have some sort of security, although it gives you less time.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with working remotely. It is gradually becoming the new norm.

Little Mouse said they have read the book and ideally anyone should personally try out any tool they plan to use to introduce someone else to a new technology such as bitcoin. In addition to this you should always be as realistic as possible; I could be very optimistic about the bitcoin market, but I will not want to show that optimism when discussing it with someone else, I will rather discuss the positives and drawbacks of the technology, giving you enough information to make an informed decision.

This in my opinion described what bitcoin is in essence; it is P2P system which does not need a third party, the purpose of this transaction is not defined. There definitely has to a reason behind a transaction.

Bitcoin is a free system and essentially everyone is allowed to use it he way they want, this sometimes means that some users actually allow a third party to mediate transaction.
However, companies using bitcoin to purchase goods and services is still in line with how bitcoin was designed. Peer-to-Peer could involve Individual-to-Individual, Business-to-Business, Business-to-Individual, et al.

Governments attempting to regulate bitcoin is a secondary effect of its adoption and usage, and not necessarily caused by businesses.

AFAIK, it only locks the account if the secret question option is active and the one put in is correct. This was not suggested as a means to recover the account, but rather to lock it in order to prevent any damage to the account.

Both might be necessary in some situations to prove ownership, but based on the admin's discretion, just an email from the original account can suffice.

Did you visit the link LoyceV posted in their first message on this thread? It contains all the necessary information you would need to recover your account;

Send an email to that address, and as noted, a signed message would likely be required.
If it does not work there is not much you can do, as it likely means the recovery team were not convinced you are the actual owner of the account.

A signed message is one of the most trusted means of proving ownership of an account.
The email could have been compromised without the user changing it, in that case, the original user could simply reset the password through the email and then change it logging off all other related sessions.

Alternatively, if that does not work, try resetting password using secret question as that would automatically lock the account and prevent the hacker from causing any more damage.

While trying to maintain utmost safety, we also have to consider creating a contingency option should something happen to you, that someone you want to can inherit your assets. We definitely would not want our funds to be completely lost in case on an untoward circumstance.

This story is a sad one, but not really surprising in the present day, greed and addictions can easily push someone to situations that make them desperate such as debt.
It is a god thing the dad is safe and alive.

About receiving a credit card to sell crypto, someone in the country would be more suited to give an answer to that question, as you will need knowledge about how the banking system works.

I looked up the legality of bitcoin in Columbia and there seems to be no impediment to selling or buying bitcoin there, so your friend could use one of the popular exchanges which has added Colombian Pesos to their list of accepted currencies.
There is also the option of a P2P exchange, but for that amount, it could take a while.

Africa is not deficient in the technological scene. The continent has a fast growing internet population and a teeming amount of youths in the population who are very interested in tech.

What is your statistics on this? In Nigeria, where I am from; Internet is quite popular and has penetrated almost the entirety of the nation, same with many other African nations.

To a very large extent. The continent has a large following for cryptocurrencies and is only limited by some government policies.

Cryptocurrencies cannot support economies, neither can it help fiat currencies. It is a peer-to-peer network which bypasses the need for a third party.

The seminar was probably a scam campaign as anyone who actually understands bitcoin would not need to create an account for others to hodl, and definitely would not need an email address.
I can assume if your introduction to bitcoin was different you could have had a very different past 7 years (from 2015). But it is never too late to get into bitcoin and locating this forum is one way to do it right as there is so much information on here that is useful to bitcoin enthusiasts.

NFTs do not operate as regular cryptocurrencies, which is one out of the total supply and a sale of one coin determines the price of the whole crypto. NFTs are different and each is sold differently as such there can be no price increase without the seller fixing the price or the buyev placing a bid, a digital art cannot simply rise I'm value, except it is put in a type of auction where no price is set and the value can ride based on seller's demands.

You are right about no volume or liquidity.

I can confirm I have received the free bets.
Thank you to Sportsbet.

No, I do not believe there is anyway to check how many times you have been banned before on the forum. The knowledge that you have been banned previously before should be enough warning to avoid the practices that actually caused you the temporary ban.
 

The OP should be able to confirm who locked it by checking whether or not they can unlock it. If it was locked by a mod, then you should not be able to 'unlock' it, AFAIK.
I can see some use for other users to know who locked a thread, especially if you want to report it to be locked. Some scammers posts a scam thread, lock it so no one replies calling them out, and unlocks it when they want to bump it.

If we consider the speculative value of bitcoin, then we would never spend it, as it has the potential to increase in price from any point. But it as great utility as a currency for exchange of value and if no one spends it, then its value cannot grow.

IMO, large purchases are more likely to attract more attention than a coffee purchase, and by not reusing addresses you could avoid being tracked. Fiat seems more attractive for a regular user however.

I do not think much about the general cryptocurrency market, as it is an unpredictable space and can spring up a surprise like NFTs at anytime. If you zoom into bitcoin, then it should be more of the same, which is the exact reason it is preferred by most to other cryptocurrencies, it is reliable and the protocol does not undergo sudden changes.

Buy more bitcoin and hodl.

Large purchases occur every time in the market and does not always reflect in the price of bitcoins. Movements of bitcoin into cold storage does not affect the market much either, especially when the motive of the transaction is just speculations.

With the current state of the market, many are looking for bullish news to lift the general market sentiment, but a rumored transfer of 40kBTC would not be enough to build resistance in the market.

Whether or not you believe in bitcoin, it is obvious that bitcoin does not consume enough electricity to be actually a topic in the global energy consumption scene. The narrative that bitcoin is an energy threat is mostly spread by governments and those with a propaganda against it.

Regulations of cryptocurrency in Nigeria are not flexible, the government has banned all financial institutions from getting involved with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, meaning the only way to buy or sell Bitcoin as a Nigerian is through peer to peer transactions.

How do you plan to facilitate cryptocurrency related transactions for your business?

"In a developing African country, Nigeria"

Bitcointalk does not engage in publicity at all. As far as I know, there is just one official Twitter account and besides that, the forum is not represented on other social platforms. The reason for this could be so the forum is as similar to Bitcoin as possible. Bitcoin does not engage in publicity but rather allows users find it out and do their own research.

The forum is definitely not readily reachable to a average individual and more publicity would surely be helpful to get more users on here.
