101  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: 40 merits in one post as a beginner, dream vs reality? on: April 08, 2024, 11:19:21 AM
I want to believe at first that its only a merit source that can afford in making that kind of a mistake because they are the ones that often have more than that amount of smerits to send and give, so even though a regular member made a mistake in numbers, its only when such figure falls withing what the user had in his smerit bank, also, we should know that we are going to be responsible for any merit sent on any user, because no one forces us in making such, but instead we find the post quality enough to receive merit, that is our own mistake.

1. At what age will you allow your child to start gambling? that is if you will even allow for that at all?
I would not like to see my child gambling, talk more of allowing him to gamble, because he might not be able to have self control over his gambling activities.

Though it surprises somehow when we are into something and yet we think its not good for us to allow our children do the same, gambling quite alright is a means of having fun, but do many gamblers understand this and have the same mentality of that, the child will also have his own decision to make after he is fully grown up to choose whether to be a gambler or not, it doesn't matter if we want such to gambles or not, they will take their own pattern either ways, through our influence or not.
105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin becoming Legal tender on: April 06, 2024, 02:40:59 PM
Lets see the way this year is going to be after the experience of the halving and the new all time high of bitcoin getting close to $200,000 then we may say that some countries may because of that make decisions on adopting bitcoin as a legal tender, just as we have it with El-Salvador and Central African Republic, there is likely we see more countries into this adoption as a legal tender before the year runs out, because bitcoin has been globally seen and recognized as a digital means of making payment.
106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think? on: April 06, 2024, 11:36:09 AM
Is this good advice for those who can't afford a hardware wallet?

Using a Bitcoin Electrum wallet or other, disconnect from the internet before generating a new seed and never connecting to the internet again.

Until you are ready to sell everything in that wallet.

Is this practice similar to using a hardware wallet? This advice came from a man I know who said to have been keeping his BTC since 2013 in the same manner, he said the internet/online is the culprit or enemy of every crypto wallet.

If you're investing much on bitcoin and you're yet complaining of the unaffordability of buying a single hardware wallet, then that means you're not giving the necessary attention to what can jeopardies your asset, even though electrum wallet is not a bad option once its on airgapped device.

It all depends , because if you're still using electrum wallet, its something different from hardware wallet because it does not have a physical showcase as how you could move, store , use and apply its uses on any of your interested device, however, there are alternatives as well to using a hardware wallet as you have given one example already, one can make use of a paper wallet too, or anything that has to do with a wallet types which falls under a cold storage.

Lets take a look at the family aspect of everyone gambling and try to give our individual opinions concerning these questions i will like us to discuss from regarding how we are gambling and how that can affect the family for the benefits of those already having one and those that will soon be in the league of a family man, lets make it as simple as possible in giving our earnest contributions on our take from this following questions i have for us.

1. At what age will you allow your child to start gambling? that is if you will even allow for that at all?
2. At what age do you see yourself quit gambling? that is also if some of us are going to ever do so?
3. Ever since you have started gambling, have you ever achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on you?
4. Would you have missed out on anything if you were not a gambler?


109  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Is this the beginning of crude oil by-products price dropping? on: April 05, 2024, 04:53:50 PM
I read last month that it is possible for PMS (petrol) price to reduce this month if the refinery in Port Harcourt is fully functional. This month has just started and we are looking forward for good news about this.

What have they been thinking over the years without realizing how much they have been loosing when a whole country cannot make the utility of its old and existing refineries but instead go to other countries to do so, are we going to gain from such deals as if it were to be all done by ourselves.

Today, I have just read that Dangote refinery is now selling AGO (diesel) as diesel price plummeted. Diesel sold at ₦1900 in few weeks back but mostly selling between ₦1600 and 1700 per liter. But as Dangote refinery begin diesel sales, it started selling it at N1225.per litre.

Dangote is not only a business man, he is also a politician, you cant except someone like him who have already been suffering a lot from the downgrade on naira value to also loose more in bringing down the price of the markets on what he sells, he wouldn't do that, instead work on anything that comes on his own advantages.

110  Other / Meta / Re: Is gambling problem or anything related to addiction is an off-topic? on: April 05, 2024, 04:18:44 PM
Recently my thread related to sign of early gambling addiction thread was moved to off-topic. I’m not questioning the mods decision but I want to clarify what’s real rules on what should be on topic discussion on gambling discussion board.

I noticed that there have been more and frequent threads that talks about gambling addiction when there are more other aspects of discussions they can create threads on, we just don't have to keep repeated a particular topic or aspect in a discussion when there should be more other relevant contributions or post we can make in which have not been discussed of recent by other members, so i think the moderators are sing more of these and such has given them the urge to make decision on taking some of these related topics to off topic as they may applies.
111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Decentralized vs Centralized Gambling....Which do you prefer? on: April 04, 2024, 01:46:52 PM
This have to depends on what we want, if we are interested in giving out private informations to their platform and don't mind the consequences that may come after, we can decide to use a centralized gambling platform which requires for KYC, but when we see that we cannot afford to loose our privacy with the level of the informations they will be requesting, we can then maintain with the use of a decentralized gambling platform, this should at least lessen the stress many gamblers are having as difficulties in using a KYC gambling platform.
112  Other / Politics & Society / Re: No matter what don't let your life be controlled by three things on: April 04, 2024, 12:10:01 PM
We have to learn on how to move on in life, we may have met with different kinds of people whom impacts on our lives left a deliberate scar we are still suffering from, we shouldn't allow these same people take control of our life, also, we are expected to take life easy on ourselves, there's no need of making rush in other to make it in life, some of us have engaged in many attrocities at the cause, if we let the need for money got on us, we are going to commit and do things which we are not supposed to, we need patience, self control and hardwork, all these can help us become whom we want to see ourselves turn into in life, if we give it every demanding time and sacrifice for the achievement to come in due time.
113  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How to strengthen our own Naira against other currencies on: April 04, 2024, 10:44:54 AM
The government have alot to play as role in achieving on this, improving the economy demands using a specific strategy as approach to see that thing works as expected for the developments and growth of the economy, government have to take some strategic decisions on how they could increase productivity of that particular country, encourage for the use of locally made products and also help the situation faced by all those involved in this local productions, make available several opportunities for the people to participate in the community development initiative, help provide enough resources needed in providing jobs for the people, reduce hunger and poverty rate, have budget on every citizens and deal with corrupt practices.
114  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bull run again, huh on: April 03, 2024, 11:45:35 AM
On this forum, I found out some information, and seriously want to ask it here.
What is a realistic expectation from the bull run, given  the last one in March 2021, Bitcoin hit  $61,000 and fell down to 31k about two couple of months later... It rose later on, amazingly though. But is this price fall normal in the bull run?? What is a helpful tip here.

This 2024 halving may have a little change in dimension in such a way that we can have the bullrun new all time high at anytime, since we had it begun earlier this year and we also experience a new all time high right before the halving, there is more expectations to see that the market rises to $120,000 all time high before the end of this year, once all these had been achieved, the following year may proceeds with the bear market market.   
115  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Seed phrase backup against natural disaster areas on: April 03, 2024, 10:16:08 AM
It is important to backup your seed phrase but some people said the backup is not good online but which is true because we have seen how hackers was able to see some people seed phrase online and steal their coins.

Its a very bad idea to use any online means to save our seed for backup, they are centralized and anyone can spy into their server and fish out users informations and sensitive data against them, this will be the only means i can refer someone to use in saving his seeds for backup as already discussed on several occasions by some forum members.

Storing seed phrase with washers
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5389446.0

Seeds backup tools
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5263482.0

Additional security to your seed phrase
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230920.0

But I have been thinking recently that how can people in countries with natural disaster be able to backup their seed phrase offline?

I want to believe that not all countries are being affected and for the ones affected, such is prone on specific areas, most importantly, we have to consider an alternative means to using any storage means, that is, we should have at least two means where we have our seeds backed up, but using online storage is not a recommendation to consider.
116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is lack of proof a problem for you or not? on: April 02, 2024, 04:13:42 PM
Have you verified that the online casino you are using now is verified? How can you tell that its verified because there is no proof of verified shown to the public.

Or maybe we should also consider some instances whereby you could have made your necessary verifications to ascertain your fact about a particular gambling casino to later discover that they are not up to the required standard for you to entrust your fund with them, you cant use the license approval for operation as a proof on what to take in trusting a gambling platform, though it can only be part of the requirement we may choose to use as criteria's in selecting for the best.
117  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Na only the government go fit help us to make cost of things come down on: April 02, 2024, 03:30:06 PM
People will not always coordinate themselves as long as they have the privilege of not being controlled, all because they wanted to take advantages of making money on others, same way the same people will experience with their own encounter with the other people when they also go to buy goods, making profits is not idea that we have to do such in an illegitimate ways, we need to considers others and be sincere, you cannot imagine a trader having an old stock in the market and selling at the current inflated price because of making profits, before the general price of items in the market could come down, the government needs to boost the economy and handles some important aspect of it that might cause a sustained inflation.
118  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Tax invasion charges: Can Nigerian government win Binance? on: April 02, 2024, 02:48:12 PM
Does Nigeria even have the legal jurisdiction's right to serve Binance that is not registered with the country simply because the citizens patronise it?

Yes, they have the right and such is part of what prompted them to place the ban they just did on accessing their platform, but they cant mandate the closure of users account with Binance or force them on releasing their KYC for them.

Let me assume that the Nigerian government are just waking up from their long time slumber, they intend to incentivize from binance and task them on every Nigerian users on their platform, and they shouldn't have taken such route used, secondly, Nigeria is not the only country to first ban the use of Binance exchange, so many other countries have done same in other for them to be able to tax their users if they agree on terms and conditions with binance or rather create their own exchange or award such to other company to operate and they receive tax from them, Nigerian government could have legally and officially dealt with the issue by communicating Binance before taking any of their actions against them.
119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does gambling excites you ? on: April 01, 2024, 04:41:09 PM
So many gamblers have seen gambling as part of what makes their day a colorful one regardless of whether they win or not, gambling already have been seen as a means of having fun, it brings about exciting moments altogether, we gambles and also enjoy doing it because we are best at what we do, some also target special days or seasons for their gambling experience in a new dimension just as we have with the easter season whereby you discovered that some gamblers already planned on this occasion how they could gamble at the course of the celebration.
