I won't say high expectations are actually bad but rather i think in the midst of high expectations there should always be room for alternative plans. The case of flying car might someday become a reality if only it hasn't been produced yet. In the crypto world altcoins sre double edged and always expecting the worst while investing in altcoin keeps the risk minimal and the expectations low. Life is an adventure of risky decisions and sometimes altcoins move cents to millions of dollars
962  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to tell when a trading bot is a scam on: August 11, 2022, 09:27:26 PM
- They tell you it's easy and that you can make money while you sleep.

- They tell you that you don't really need to know anything about trading, coding or even crypto!

This last are the most rampant scamming language this fake bot scammers use to lure lazy traders or greedy traders who have been dealt with by the market. Even if a trading bot turns out to be genuine a good trader who is bent on making profit will not risk depending solely on a bot to place a trade. No bot is 100% accurate same way no trading technique is. Trading bots can be very useful when the trader understands their analysis and needs a confirmation tool
963  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pay Utility Bills With Bitcoin In Nigeria on: August 11, 2022, 09:04:09 PM
But I thought Nigerian government was explicity against the use of Bitcoin within the country?
I recall watching on Youtube some Nigerian politicians claiming that Bitcoin adoption had hurt the trust in their national currency.

And there were some imposed frictions by the banks so people could not transact with Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrency so easily?

Of course, I am aware that Bitcoin cannot be declared illegal and expect people to abandon it so easily, but I assumed anti-Bitcoin measures were enforced there.
Yes Anti-Bitcoin measures were implemented but no was stood up to enforce them. Nigeria is one the few countries in the world where laws are been made to hunt the masses not for the betterment of the nation. Nigerian attended this status of one of the highest countries with large volume of cryptocurrency trading because of high inflation rate and devaluation of our local currency. it is sad the Nigerian government has turned blind eyes to this because the keep most of their reserve in foreign currencies
964  Economy / Services / Re: [FULL] WasabiWallet.io Review Campaign | 0.002 BTC/Review on: August 10, 2022, 04:38:43 PM
I downloaded WasabiWallet 2.0.1.3 for MACOS 10.15+ INTEL
The DMG file was easy to download and install. It has an easy setup steps and user friendly GUI.  I will also commend the developers for the brief description of what features the wallet has, it  serves as a guide both to individuals new to Bitcoin and Bitcoin investors as well on what they stand to gain from using the Wasabi wallet.


Wasabi has an easy wallet setup options making recovering wallet with seed phrase much easier and creating new new wallet less time consuming.

Of all the options listed to add a wallet i could not connect to is the hardware wallet because i haven't gotten myself one.
Creating a new wallet was easy and the three random seed phrase confirmation made a huge improvement on other non-custodial wallets but the limitation is the inability to extend seed phrase. Importing wallets and recovering wallets were pretty much easy to setup. I tried all three and was able to create new wallet, recover and import my wallets  from my files and through my seed phrase excellent  but i could not find my balance a new address was generated for me on my recovered wallet address and i couldn't view balance or my used address i was thinking i would have been prompted with a message to either retain my old address or generate a new one.

The extra security provided is another plus which means even if my system isn't passworded my wallet is giving me some extra privacy and security. I will suggest if finger print can be added to the security measure this way it will give users options of what security pattern to chose.
This can just be an added functionality for uniqueness in wallet feature

However the search menu seems incomplete because it only provides information within the wallet. There should be an added feature like searching for key words on google or any other search engine. Example a link to what coinjoin mean so that even an average Bitcoin user can look up for words using the search engine.


It took  longer time to download and process Bitcoin network data on my pc. I have to reopen the wallet twice and checked my settings yet nothing changed.

Variety of wallet addresses is another point of concern. So far the wallet only provides Bech32, If Bech32m (taproot) or Base58 (P2SH-sigwet) addresses it can improve on business transactions to transact securely as well with  



Making deposit on Wasabi
I made my first deposit so to better have a feel of the wallet, my first observation about the wallet is the inability to click on the amount of coin i wish to send from my wallet, i had to go back to write out the value of coin i wished to send before making the transfer. It will be nice if Wasabi wallet has a button for max and min amount saving the time of going back to do some calculation of coin before executing transactions.

Alternatively instead of using a transfer button to alternate between USD and BTC each should have their separate columns for each option



The detailed explanation of the transaction using a preview receipt made the wallet exceptional as well as how i could customise the receivers address with a name incase of future transaction made tx more fun.



In conclusion
  • The wallets should get extra wallet addresses and a QR code
  • The seed phrase should have an option to extension
  • The tx menu should have max and min amount on both the USD and BTC buttons [/b]
    [/b] The search menu should have a direct link to a web browser for detail explanation of some key terms on the wallet[/b]

Are there any block explorers that will show you the amount in dollars at the time of transaction?
Electrum wallet and Bitcoin core saves you the stress of visiting Blockchair or other block explorers in that you can check the amount of your transaction in dollars and other currency for (electrum) without leaving the convenience of your wallet. I am thinking blockchair and other block explorers are basically used by mobile wallets.

Civil jobs most times don't get increment in salaries. When we talk about entrepreneurship people who render basic services like sales of daily human wants like food and household equipments the are always on demand no matter how inflation keeps rising. I think where entrepreneurs suffers most are services that can be done without. But for civil jobs no matter how one earns it will never be enough because human needs are insatiable and ones wants and needs keeps increasing as the sun keeps rising

Well, it wouldn't be; looking at it now from hindsight that it wasn't a bull trap as price has risen above that level. By the way, buying at that level won't be a bad place even if it turns out to be a fake move. Bitcoin has given everyone enough discount if we what to consider that price once went past $64,000 and now trading below $25k. It's something to console anyone who buys now and price dips. We should quickly remember that there were investors who bought when price touched ATH last year.
It actually something to console traders at least for price  to have stayed below $25k for more than 3weeks is a signal for any possible direction from the market right now it is a strong contention between bulls and bears who will take over the trend. I think to avoid losing either ways DCA can be very useful at the moment

Web 3 is the future internet which has already taken over most businesses and in the near future most ENS will have been bought by individuals who will plan on selling them in the future for more profit. the best is creating as many ENS as possible with the plan to sell off in the future, in the blockchain industry every thing is a potential asset even the most craziest technology
970  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have anyone saw bitcoin? on: August 08, 2022, 06:30:38 PM
Fiat has its monetary value  because the government gave it a value and kept a structure to ensure it doesn't get double spent and printed by any random individual. As for the idea of Bitcoin existence, it emanates from user in the same peer network transacting through addresses and having a public ledger to prove the existence of those transactions. If Bitcoin were to be in a physical form it would have been manipulated, banned or destroyed long ago. The existence of its digital form gave every user their privacy and full control to their funds which Op should be grateful for
971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: August 08, 2022, 06:17:53 PM
Will this be the season of Real Madrid again? Because I heard doubts about them because they barely moved in the transfer market. They still rely on the majority of players who have been on the team for a long time. And most of those players are players who probably won't be in football for long. Ancelotti is very confident with what he has at the moment.
Real Madrid has all the need to still take the league title this season their squad is still reliable enough needless of signing new players but in the main while their performance this season will determine how far the go. In the main while their biggest threat will obviously be and will remain Barcelona throughout the season and i hope to see how the contention this season goes

I wonder if this is just common courtesy or Xavi somehow expresses his thoughts incomprehensibly (or I just don’t understand anything)? It's obvious that Barcelona want to get rid of De Jong for financial reasons, but Xavi says he's a good player and that he's counting on him. Maybe they were unable to get De Jong to leave or cut wages by force and now they are trying to make it flattery?
Laporta said so too and Xavi said otherwise. because they are caught in a financial fair play case so I don't think Barcelona intend to keep De Jong for a good reason they need money to be able to register their new players for next season. So from this case selling de Jong is a solution they can do other than to activate the 4th lever, but if de Jong is willing to accept a lower salary I think his place in Barcelona will remain safe until next season.

Frenkie de Jong now has two options open to him, a move to Manchester United or a decision to cut wages and stay at Barcelona. My guess is Frenkie de Jong will stay at Barcelona with wages cut. He would not want to join a team as unstable as Manchester United at the moment. I think we will see Frenkie de Jong in a Barcelona jersey this season.
De Jong might be considering achieving more with Barca the reason he might prefer a pay cut than leaving the club. Xavi too could be seeing the same possibilities the reason he is reluctant to sell De jong. But the end product will be a pay cut for De jong to raise funds. De Jong would have covered up the lapses in Manu midfield if he accepted to leave Barcelona

All Erik ten Hag needs is time, he's definitely going to win games at Old Trafford. United losing their first game to Brighton was just a coincidence but Erik ten Hag now knows his mistakes and wrong substitution. Erik ten Hag been criticize by fans saying he's not capable of managing the team. The club is in critical or worsen state, but it's just a phase, it will pass. The team have the present players who are capable of delivering the team at injury time but they're unserious and sometimes most of them have fatigue and makes them unable to play to their expectations.
Manu had lots of flops in their defence. The two goals the conceded were purely poor defense. Ten Hag needs to improve on his defense tactics. The second half saw lots of opportunities for united but they could not seal them behind the net. For now it is too early to start making critic comments to Ten Hag he needs time to test his strategy until he finds a perfect one he will be comfortable with

The Gunners have beaten Crystal palace in the first game in the premier league. It was really a difficult game for the both sides as Crystal palace misses their chances of scoring but the Gunners took advantage and made proper good attempts that lead to Vieira's eagles conceding two goals at home. It's a big win for Arsenal because they sealed their victory with strategy tactical marking, this winning was so important for Mikel Arteta as of last season, league opening, they lost their  league first game to Brentford which they were down by 2 goals to nil.

Arsenal's victory against Crystal Palace is very important, because it proves Arsenal are ready to compete for the top 4. Arsenal's performances
did look much improved compared to the previous season, so it was not surprising that Arsenal could beat Crystal Palace. Patrick Vieira looks
frustrated his team was defeated by Arsenal in the inaugural Premier League match. Vieira as manager of Crystal Palace was disappointed to see
Crystal Palace players failed to take advantage of opportunities to become goals. Even though Crystal Palace seemed to dominate the match,
Arsenal were more effective in building attacks. Even Patrick Vieira admits Arsenal have become stronger than the previous season,
especially the first 20 minutes of the game Arsenal's performance was incredible. Patrick Vieira also admitted Arsenal deserved to win,
and make the defeat as an evaluation for the next match.
Crystal Palace created nice chances but could not utilise the chances the created. Crystal Palace had more dominance but luck ran out them seeing it was easy to breakthrough Arsenals defence with ease. Arsenal seems to have utilised the chances the created getting their full 3 points on Palace i hope the will be able to sustain their performance. Their next match Leicester city will be a threat to their standing point hope the secure that as well

Bitcoin are likely to fall aa they are likely to rise, It is obvious how economic and political uncertainty will always stir up  either positive or negative effect on Bitcoin price. For the case of China's attack on Taiwan as global conflicts keep escalating it wiser to play safe in the crypto market at the moment because volatility will always drift price towards the effect of the war and the move is rapid
976  Economy / Economics / Re: Can the US become EU's oil supplier?? on: August 06, 2022, 06:53:55 AM
Russians already are prepared to shut down Nord stream 1 pipeline and as the heat of the sanctions keep heating on the Russians
they are aware their oil and gas supply to the Europe will remain indispensable  and if they cut off supplies as well it will weaken the entire industrial production and cause a hike in commodity prices. This standing as the Russians defence mechanism against the sanctions since they have other supply channels.

I think it will take a long while to build a channel from Europe to the US or any other alternate source and definitely depreciate the EURO. But Europe has to face it once and for all take up what ever regulations the US might offer to save their economy on the long run
977  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 05, 2022, 06:44:57 AM
although the record of meeting the two teams is quite difficult for Arsenal. but this season I believe Arsenal is playing pretty well. they will perform better I'm sure. With their new squad and some testing in pre-season, it looks like Arsenal has great potential to compete this season.
The EPL will always be of interest to me. I also want to see how Man United will bounce back in the trophy race this season.
From Arsenal's performance in the pre-season i think there have been lots of improvement. If they could defeat Chelsea by 4 goals and Sevilla in the Emirate cup by 6 goals then there are all indications all 3 points in todays match against Crystal Palace will be a done deal. I think todays match will be a stepping point to them securing a place in the top 4 this season
978  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Man Collapses after Allegedly Losing a $400 Loan at a Betting Shop on: August 05, 2022, 06:30:58 AM
One thing gamblers fail to know is that gambling involves taking from an unlucky bettor to pay a lucky one. Risking a loan taken for a specific purpose on bet is a risk that isn't worthy to take. And risking all $400 wasn't a good idea as well. And the sad story is gamblers keep falling into this over again making the gambling industry the most profitable amongst other industries. I feel many will still engage their greed in gambling so for now this has become a norm

Many people obey their girl friends more than anyone else.

What if their girl friend insists you to stop gambling  Huh Will you Stop  Tongue
Sometimes it is best to listed to her. Although it depends on her reasons. If she can give me a reason to stop or she notices i am becoming gradually addicted i will gladly follow her advice. One thing i came to understand about a girl that loves you is that what ever affects you affects her so she tries hard not to see you in danger so you both don't get hurt at the same time.

Some times our families might not know more about us when we turn adults the closest to predicting our actions are our wives or girlfriend the reason listening to them is needed most times

Yes, even without Paul Pogba, France does not lack quality play in its squad. They will be competitors among other favorite countries.
But something is interesting here, we know that one of the curses that happened at the World Cup was that the reigning champions couldn't say more. That happened to Germany, for example, who had to be eliminated in the group stage. Will the curse happen again, or vice versa?  Grin

I disagree with you. France will not be able to perform very well if Paul Pogba is not found in that squad, Pogba has been a potential player in the French team, a key player in the midfield, and a major contributor to the team's expansion and current tactical form and performance. Yes, the French team doesn't lack quality players but no better player can replace the super star because he is one player in the team with a different playing attitude, especially in the national team. France team will still be major competitors in the world cup and I doubt if they will be affected by any course as the reigning champions.
France will do even better without Pogba. what if Pogba after the therapy he opted for gets more complications or France gets knocked out in the group stage and the  (meniscus) injury gets even worst what will be his fate. He has many years to participate in the world cup. He needs to go for the surgery. By the way France has lots of substitute for him. France isn't lacking players
