Something interesting happened over the weekend and I think it’s worth sharing. A friend of mine reached out to me that he was having some problems with his Trust wallet. According to him, he received some bitcoins days ago through his trust wallet address and even though the transaction was confirmed on the blockchain, the bitcoins did not reflect on his wallet balance so there was no way he could move the bitcoins. I suggested he download Electrum and import his seed phrase to Electrum. He told me that wouldn’t be a problem since he had his seed phrase saved as a photo in his phone. This took me by surprise because he isn’t a newbie to Bitcoin. He’s been a p2p trader for about three years and still did not know the danger of saving one’s seed phrase online. I explained to him the consequences of storing his seed phrase online and advised him not to use that wallet anymore. His only defense was that Trust wallet allowed him to screenshot his keys so it shouldn’t be that bad.

Anyway, he successfully imported his seed phrase to Electrum and was able to move his bitcoins with less fee. What’s fascinating about the story is this. I got a text from him this morning that someone has a similar problem with his wallet and he needs my guidance once again to help this person. He then told he charged 30% of the bitcoins as his fee. I laughed because I thought he was joking. But he wasn’t. He’s actually thinking of making a business out of this. Turns out that people will pay for things they can do by themselves if they had the right knowledge. 

I'm glad to know that. As they say, "Knowledge is power," and I think that joining this forum has been incredibly beneficial because it has allowed us to connect and share ideas with one other. We are really fortunate to be here. I didn't think I needed to when I initially joined the forum, but the more time I spend here, the more I learn. You've just given me another idea on how to earn money on my own. 😃

Hi there to all of you. One of the most amazing things I've noticed about Bitcoin is that it doesn't have an age requirement before using it or creating a wallet. In traditional banking, however, one must be 16 or older to open an account, unless they have assistance from a guide who helped them do so. Additionally, no matter how young you are, no one can question you about how you make money because no one keeps an eye on your wallet.

Hi there to all of you. I'm new here, but I have a question about sports and betting. Is there a reliable website for soccer predictions? If yes, what is it called? The international week is uninteresting, and I don't understand why Ashley Cole was listed as a Hall of Fame player.

Hi there to all of you. I haven't been active on this forum  due to the demanding nature of my work as an interior decorator. However, recently, I've noticed that bitcoin is rising in value on the global market, and this has my interest in Bitcoin. I would like to know how people typically manage to balance their offline and online work, and how I can adjust to this.
When you say balance offline and and online work with Bitcoin and the same sentence,  are you referring to buying Bitcoin or being active in this forum. If it is the later, you don't need to be regularly online to be invested in Bitcoin, you can use either of the methods of buying Bitcoin which are DCA, and lump sum buy to collect your Bitcoin. With DCA you can buy once per week or per month while lump sum buy can be done anytime you have some funds you want to inject into Bitcoin. No matter how busy you are, as long as you are connected to the Internet, you can do either of them.

If your concern is how to be active in this forum to be able to build your account, this being what I think you are referring to,  then you can spare an hour daily probably at night after the days job. It must come as a sacrifice because nothing good comes easily. If yo consider it important, I'm sure you will create time for it nomatter how small.

I meant offline work, like if you own a business or a skill. I really appreciate your guidance and encouragement, and I will strive to implement it. Thank you.

Real life is outside of internet and online. We do the real working offline and come online to share ideas with mostly unknown people and have fun irrespective of distance and platform. You don't need to balance the weigh between offline and online work, just focus on the one that put food on your table. Majority work offline and that's why you see many accounts active at night after they are through with offline work. Just like your other social media platforms you use to pass time, this forum is not too different from them.

Talking about interest in Bitcoin, I don't know if you are referring to investing in Bitcoin or reading about bitcoin latest infos. If it is the former, you don't need to be frequently online to do that. It's as simple as just buying and hold in your wallet. For the later, dedicating an hour or even less is enough for you to read a few latest developments in Bitcoin discussion board and you can probably learn some new things. Don't try to force things or making adjustments if it will affect your work to avoid distraction.

Thank you but I will want to know the best, easy wallet I can use to buy and invest Bitcoin

It’s easier for the youth to understand about BTC because most of the youth uses electronics and smart phones, they understands the benefits of the online world and they are already equipped with technology, but I agree with the program because the awareness needs to be in the heart of every youth
28  Other / Beginners & Help / 3 ways of Turning your adversity to advantages in bitcoin on: August 06, 2023, 11:17:09 AM
Turn you adversity and suffering to advantages, we have several adversity in bitcoin such as no return, hacking, price volatility, scam and piracy. There are profitable ways we can turn this into adversity Firstly you have to embrace discomfort, discomfort can be very bad but they challenge for growth. You have to be ready to face life challenges and emerge victorious, firstly you must learn from you mistakes and look for a better way to improve, while improving you have to be consistent and consistent comes from the mindset. Without the mind being developed for its outcome of accepting whatever thing that comes up it very difficult. Like a skilled civil Engineer, if he/she doesn’t practice consistency he will not be smart, fast, accurate when laying bricks. Secondly you have to stay away from people who don’t believe in your process, you have to be with people who will encourage you when you When thing are rough. Thirdly take sometime to reflect on your dreams and goal and let them light you to the future.

The world is fast growing because most of the inventions are probably supported by electricity, in health care, education, transportation, engineering, entertainment etc. Electricity has played a vital role in global development and that brings me to the questions.. how would the world be in 2022 without electricity, why are the investors of this great technology not celebrated globally in a particular day to mark their great achievement, the date is only set on the 9th of January but the awareness isn’t known by most people. This great achievement by this legends are indeed special and needs more recognition
30  Economy / Gambling discussion / Bitcoin as an electronic currency, can it be use for bet gambling on: September 17, 2022, 04:35:56 PM
As an electronic currency, I will like to know if bitcoin can be use in sport betting, apart from using your local currency, can I found my sport bet account using bitcoin.
31  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: It Is Dangerous To Completely Rely On Cryptocurrencies on: September 16, 2022, 07:44:40 PM
Well said, but I must say that there’s no business you venture into that doesn’t have a profit and loss so all we have to do is to prepare for both and try to accept each challenges when it comes, cryptocurrency is like any other business.. we all have to invest carefully and not investing all our life savings on it  but if we still have to invest our life saving it’s still accepted because when the profit hits us we enjoy it alone and if it’s fail we take the pains alone. There is a story about a man, whom is a  novice in bet gambling, one day he called he’s friend and seek an advice on how we wanted to invest in a game, his friend was very happy and welcome him, unfortunately he had bad intentions for him so he advices him to invest all he’s money in a particular game which he had  as the worst (dead ) game of the week because he wanted he’s friend to lose so he can laugh at him, at the end of the game the results was different and mr novice won and he’s life was changed for good.. like you said it’s better for us to make our person research and don’t trust in whatever we are been told.

33  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Another warning for every NEWBIE! on: June 06, 2022, 08:03:39 PM
I know most of us here already knew what happened to $LUNA but for the sake of beginners, I want to reiterate and give a warning about investing and going all in on this market.

I saw a post online in our local group about money investing and he shared his experience their about losing all his life saving money because of $LUNA investment, this is very heart breaking and that guy really want to end his life which I hope he wont do it. This is why I want to list some of the reminders about crypto investment and I hope every beginners here won't do the same mistake.

CRYPTO INVESTING - SHORT REMINDER

1. DON'T USE YOUR SAVINGS FOR YOUR INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES - Use your separate funds if you are going to invest on any market and make sure that you are ready to lose that money because investing is not a guaranteed way to make profit, so have some funds for this.

2. DON'T BORROW MONEY - Many still do the same mistake like this and when the market turns to negative, they are also drowning and the situation will get worst simply because they use the money which is not them. If you want to become profitable, save for your capital first.

3. DON'T BE GREEDY - If you already lose money, you should stop for a while and study again so you can know what's wrong with your strategy and start analyzing again so you can do better next time.


From the three point raised on short reminder well they are nice but somehow I disagree with you because you’re trying to make those who are brave to take the bull by the horn afraid, life is risk all the person who wants to invest should know about that and the chances before making the move. Everyone does not have the same grace, I might borrow some money to invest and it’s turns out to yield a profit, or I might use my last saving and it worked out good. When you want to have breakthrough, you need to pay some sacrifices and something that worth it.. even Jesus gave his last and only son to gain the world as Christians believe

What will be the faith of bitcoin users if the value of bitcoin becomes stable in May 2022, a lot of prediction has been made in recent years on the rising and falling of bitcoin?
Must there be a rising and falling of crypto before the market can work effectively

It’s quite a petty that you lost your money, all you would have done is consult a professional or someone who has a better understanding thank you are, it’s quite annoying when people don’t ask questions before venturing into businesses. Well I’m sure you must have learnt your lesson and please you need to be properly guided and very careful now.
36  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Trust Wallet - Fake Verification! on: April 18, 2022, 10:08:55 AM
We need to be very careful with whatever thing that pops up on the internet and not only on trust wallet, this awareness should be included in every area of our life because things are getting out of control, let’s make sure we read and understand perfectly and if we don’t we should ask questions to someone who knows better than you do. Bitcoin thief is so heartbroken because you don’t have anyone to help recover it.
37  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: the comforts of bitcoin on: January 31, 2022, 12:14:52 PM
If we were to make an actual research or survey on this, I doubt the result would show us that there is indeed a considerable reduction of a bank teller's job or that banks are now less frequently used because of Bitcoin.

I don't think the adoption of Bitcoin has already gotten to a certain point where cashier queues are shortened, bank schedules are canceled, and so on because Bitcoin has taken over.


We can say that it’s been a long time we visited a banking hall or western union for any transactions, this has also lead to reduction in bankers also because the work rate is lesser, workers are mostly employed if the demands are high and I can comfortably tell you that banking hall is not as crowded as it used to.
38  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: the comforts of bitcoin on: January 31, 2022, 11:46:38 AM
Everything you explained in the OP can also be achieved if you apply for and use a debit or credit card. Instead of requiring physical paper notes and having to run to the bank to get more of those from a cashier, you pay with your debit card that is connected to your bank account. You don't have to worry about big crowds or the working hours of your local bank.   

I agree with you but I want to ask if you can make international transfer and receiving of money with your debits card on your convince?
39  Other / Beginners & Help / the comforts of bitcoin on: January 30, 2022, 10:13:17 AM
This topic tends to share some ideals on how bitcoin has reduced stress and insults among-individuals.
 E.g  for those in Africa can say that since the introduction of bitcoin the argument and stress from a cashier in a banking hall has reduced because there’s no frequent use of the banking hall anymore.

There’s nothing like cueing up for the cashier to attend.

There’s nothing like I don’t know when I will be coming back from the bank anymore.

There’s nothing like I can’t go to the bank because it’s weekend.

There’s nothing like I was here before you sir and the manager addressing the other ahead of you.

There’s is nothing like I’m tired and can’t drive to the bank. All transactions are done online and faster not the old accept of going to the bank to withdraw money and after withdrawing  start praying and looking randomly if anyone is following you.
  This aid of bitcoin transactions will be done in your comfort without anyone knowing and that makes it safer.

You’re absolutely right when it come to bitcoin improvement and benefits in Africa but I will want to know if you took you statistics in West,North, Southern or Eastern Africa. Like you said correctly that Africa is underdeveloped and poor and we all know that we can’t access bitcoin if we don’t have money.. do you think that the growth of bitcoin isn’t one sided ( only the rich in Africa that are benefiting from it).
 How can the poor also benefit from bitcoin without financial support?
