1001  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: [POLITICS] Who's Following up with the Recent Court Rulling All Over the Countr on: November 20, 2023, 04:10:33 PM
What role do you think a regular citizen can play here in governance? Our spirits are low and it is almost like a if you can't beat them join them situation.

If you're not a politicians, don't bother yourself fighting or argitating for it because they will harm and hunt you down, your own role is to vote and also make every necessary roles from your end in voting, it they like they should do justice to it and if they also like, they can play along otherwise, but the truth will always reveal itself no matter how long it has been made silent, who are the ones that made the appointment for the chief justice of the country, aren't they the ones in the office with power, under their own political party, then why should an ordinary man disturbed himself on whatsoever thing they comes out with, let them continue to battle amidst themselves while we watch them performing all their dramas.
1002  Economy / Gambling / Re: QuitGamble.com - Free Help for Problem Gamblers on: November 18, 2023, 10:07:51 PM

an online platform and mobile app to help people with gambling problems.
Everything on QuitGamble.com is built from a problem gambler's perspective.

But here's what could also work if you're so enthusiastic about helping addictive gamblers, try moving your targets to those who aren't addicted already, or those who haven't even started gambling, I don't know how you can reach out to the targeted audience but I feel if you do that, you'll be helping more people than you can ever imagine.

I also think it will be easier for someone who is not already a gambling addict to be convinced out of turning into one than talking to someone who is already into it. I mean, there is a possibility of bringing an addict out of it, but the job will be easier if they don't even turn into one at all, like educating them on the things they need in order not to get addicted, just like our people usually say, "Prevention is better than cure."
 
Some gambling addicts always find it very hard to leave their addiction, no matter how hard they try to get out of it. They just keep their stock in it, and those who manage to get out of it most times happen to have already ruined their lives up to some certain level, which will take them time to rebuild.

Only if you know and understand the theory behind the process of building a house and demolishing one, you could see that one is very easy to do while the other is very hard to achieve, same thing likewise is being made applicable to gamblers lifestyle experience, if you want to get addicted, then it's easy to do but if you want to get out of it, that's not an easy task to do at all because it will require alot of efforts together with force to accomplish.
1003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Casinos with Online and Offline version, Are they the same? on: November 18, 2023, 09:27:09 PM
Or maybe we should start by going with what we ourselves want, the particular taste in what we want gives us more interest in going for them because they are our choice, gambling is both enjoyed online and in the physical depending on the kind of condition we found ourselves with or the way we decided to go with it, they can also both have little similarities and the games could be quite different for sure on how they play them.

What advise can one give here to help, i can not give you any advice on getting merits, but am ready to take my time in explaining to you many other things you need to know or discover about the forum, starting with the rules and regulations, quality post, how to make use of the forum search, moderation policies and also read about all the pinned threads on each board you come across, maybe if you've taken your time and efforts in reading through all these you may not have asked about this OP.
1005  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Whats your target of achievement in bitcoin in next year on: November 18, 2023, 02:31:35 PM
I wish to have the opportunity to hold more of bitcoin than ever, to be able to experience the bullrun profitable investment, this will also come with the decision of reinvesting in it the moment i sell all what I've Invested, i may by that time make use of DCA to accumulate more and hold for the next circle target on halving after 2024, then i will keep moving from there till I've attained a certain limit i could hold onto as satisfaction with bitcoin holding base on the capacity I could afford.
1006  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is Nigeria a failed project ? on: November 18, 2023, 01:47:35 PM
This topic was formed from a lecture discussion where the lecturer asked the question "is Nigeria a failed project?" And it made me wonder, if we had the solutions to our problems why isn't anybody working towards making the country better?

People like him are the kind of those that will always sit and fold their hands watching what's happening instead of making them happening, they want to see a better Nigeria but don't want to be among those to make it a better place, the moment we continue to have that kind of irresponsible mindset that always thinks about the government should be the ones responsible for every conditions the country is, then maybe we are failing already, because it all lies in our hands, one or few people cannot make the success alone, it has to be a collaborative effort of all.
1007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can a mega winner say no to public presentation? on: November 17, 2023, 08:54:12 PM
I created this topic as a result of this news, a young Ghanaian man won 6,000,000 GHC ($501,664) with a bet of 40 GHC. This happened few days ago and it trended on social media. Some of the comments from netizens are that the young man should leave Ghana to avoid being robbed or poisoned.

If you're not careful, public opinion could be disastrous sometimes,we need to go for what we want, what if you're being attacked at the cause of traveling, or wherever you've decided to go without having a prior plan will not cost you than before or staying in your own country.

I know some of us must have seen the formal presentation of a mega winner to the public by a gambling platform. Most times, these bookies invite media outlets to their offices to cover the ceremony, so that the news could be captured on newspapers, tv, internet etc. My questions are...  Can a bettor reject being unveiled to the public? Are gambling platforms paying an extra money for the publicity?

I think the best idea is for the gambler to seek for his privacy ftom them gambling platform, but if they insist on making the announcement because it's a big win, then we must be very smart to make his location or appearance turn a mystery to the public, just as I've said already, if he's smart enough .
1008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: November 17, 2023, 08:18:33 PM
It’s really a hard decision to choose whether to cash out or keep the bet on. The cash out amount provided also seems very interesting when you about to win the match. But the cashout amount only becomes attractive when you are bound to win the bet. So many times players decide to wait and take full profits. But as we know that in sports bet, anything and everything happens, so sometimes you lose it. If you ask me what will be my call in this type of situation, then it completely depends on the sports. It’s really hard to make the correct decision sometimes.
It is a very big decision and a risky one to make, because if the decision did not go as planned then you will be sad and you will even feel regrets, some games don't go direct and it will look like you are about to lose that bet but when am in situation like that I think I will cashout and rest than lose the whole bet and eventually if the bet Talley i know i will be pained and I will move on since I did not lose. Waiting to take full profit some times is just riskier and will not want to lose mm money. People are more familiar with the sport bet and you just have to be smart when you making decisions in betting.  Betting can so do yo dirty.

If a gambler can remember the risk with gambling and also have no greediness, they will definitely realized the need to pause when it's time for doing so, for someone to have being long time gambling and yet still be winning is a sign that such person is very lucky to have been there that far, but any slerk in that chance could lead to loosing everything just because of being greedy to keep winning and earning more, there's no how this can be assured, when you win and win doesn't mean you've escaped any chances of loosing as well.
1009  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and it's 4 Year-Cycle on: November 17, 2023, 05:14:33 PM
it's true there will be a lot of rich people for this,
There will be a 4 year cycle, but reaching a new ath will be very difficult in the next cycle because economic conditions can also affect the exchange rate and Bitcoin itself.

What are you saying here, what difficulty will bitcoin encounters at the fourth circle, what will be that thing that may stand as hindrance against having a new all time high next year or further subsequent years coming, bitcoin network is not depending on the economic conditions of the fiat world and how should exchange rate or inflation cause it not to get to where it should be, moreover bitcoin itself cannot antagonize itself, it's value remain ever increasing.
1010  Other / Meta / Re: What's AI Written Post? on: November 17, 2023, 03:21:04 PM
I completely agree that the primary purpose of this forum is to share knowledge and help each other learn. We're all at different levels, and asking questions is how we expand our understanding. AI can certainly be a helpful tool, but it's not a replacement for genuine discussion and learning from one another.
Let's focus on the content writing tools that can actually aid us in our knowledge-sharing journey!

Why should we, anything that has to do with what is not coming from us being the author of them is as null as having someone's else's work to claim, why are some people taking their time to make use of their head in making a quality post while others can do nothing than to go through the otherwise, this means that their feedback or posts aren't genuine on a sincere ground, they are just taking leverage on other sources for help or a way out.
1011  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Ontop the matter of Bitcoin fee on: November 17, 2023, 02:42:56 PM
Maybe we should always expect seing something like this in the future, because even without the influence of what's called ordinals, bitcoin network can also at a certain point get congested and we can do nothing about it, what we should focus now is on the ways out, how the people can always have a solution to when the network get congested and we won't experience a higher fee like before, ordinals only make the effect on the congestion more pronounced.
1012  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Glassnode: accumulation of BTC outpaces issuance of new coins by 2.4 times on: November 16, 2023, 01:43:08 PM
https://insights.glassnode.com/the-week-onchain-week-46-2023/

Glassnode published a monthly analysis of the onchain that compares supply levels prior to Bitcoin halving, which indicates tightness in Bitcoin supply that has reached historic levels.

This also could mean that there should be more to be expected this coming halving in bitcoin demand and supply, there's also going to be the unprecedented and unexpected display of the market volatility and all this will all triggers the rising of the market to form a new all time high level, we should expect more coming and to be unfolded at the course of the year end because now is the time we are beginning to see all every necessary actions coming before next year halving with the bitcoin market price.
1013  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I need your contribution and opinion on: November 16, 2023, 01:07:20 PM
I have a little knowledge but I need a guide. Bought some cryptocurrency like XRP and Bitcoin. Currently people only talk about Bitcoin but the price is very high for me to afford investing in it. I don't know why I feel like it's the only cryptocurrency worth investing and I would love to try  but am still learning gradually about it.

I will just say that you should count yourself of being lucky for two reasons, first is in making bitcoin your first choice and secondly for locating the forum meant for bitcoin discussions, many have started in the wrong manners and have fallen into the hands of scammers because they don't know how or where to start, some went ahead investing on altcoins ever since they heard about cryptocurrency and never know the difference between bitcoin and altcoins, some have lost their asset and are regretting now because they were not having the privilege of being informed before they went ahead in taking the wrong steps on shitcoins, so let your mind be at rest, have your highest Investment on bitcoin, then keep learning more on this platform.
1014  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: what and which are custodial and non custodial wallets. on: November 16, 2023, 11:44:43 AM
a wallet as a thing that stores all the savings of our daily life.

Wallet don't store our bitcoin, the blockchain does, wallet only helps us with having the required access pass to get hold of our bitcoin on the blockchain and not that our bitcoin is stored in them,

By my question everyone will understand what I mean, what and which are custodial and non custodial wallets.

A custodial wallet holds your private keys with them, this also means that the access keys required to use in getting hold of your bitcoin on the blockchain is with the exchanges.

A none custodial wallets is just a direct opposite of what I've been just explained here, you're in charge yourself in having access to your private keys with you.
1015  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Reason you still invest in BTC on: November 16, 2023, 10:52:10 AM
How many of you guys  entered at this current point


No doubt you guys should be smiling by now

Rhetorically why aren't you into BTC  Roll Eyes. This is even enough for you for you to get in before it pumps.

Make your research. Learn more and get into it ASAP

With the way we have always been seing the bitcoin market going, it's enough an indication to serves as evidence to why we should take bitcoin serious and Invest, it's something that if those not investing in bitcoin had Known what they are missing, they wouldn't have doubted any attempts on trying to adopt bitcoin for once, those that have been into bitcoin already are enjoying the benefits of adoption and couldn't afford missing any opportunity out.
1016  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: [ECONOMICS] Yesterday's Price Nor Be Today's Price on: November 16, 2023, 09:59:55 AM

E get anybody here wey still dey budget? For X(formerly Twitter), some Nigerians dey recall the days wey Spaghetti na N100, Peak Milk na 80, small Loaf of bread na N50, a crate of egg na N100 and so on. But now, Golden Penny Spaghettin na N700, Peak Milk na 500, small Loaf of Bread na N350, a crate of egg na N2900.

The crazy tin for all of these things be say e never reach the limit wey be say, the price nor fit increase again. As e be now we fit by next week buy spaghetti at N1000 and even a crate of egg at N5000. Budgetting nor fit work at all because yesterday price nor be today's price at all. Abi e get anybody wey still dey do budget?

My pipo una fit help me with some strategies wey una dey use to take manage una self incase of buying. Even if you suggest bulk buying, where the money dey to take do bulk buying?

Picture source - public domain

This is the kind of funny situation we have all found ourselves in with the way the value of the Nigerian naira is depreciating each day and inflation on market price keep increasing each day, it has bow appears that you will discover having daily increment on price of market items, if you had bought an item a year or two years ago, you would have realized how it would have appreciated in value for a second hand sale instead of depreciating over time.

This is how bad the economy is going, but when the exchange rate comes down, buying market commodities does not have the experience of deflation, instead everyone lock up with the way they make their exorbitant profits.
1017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed or risk on: November 15, 2023, 03:01:25 PM
The debate didn't end well, so I decided to bring this up here to see the responses from experienced gamblers.
It is futile to argue with your friend about whether it is greed or risk? In the end there is no winner of the argument because both sides would be right and each of your points would be valid. Just as you have written, the only thing you can do is which it was your money at stake and you have the option to cash out of keep betting.

Looking at the picture of it on a WhatsApp status where in a relaxed state, it is easy to think through it with a clear logical reasoning, but I bet you that if that were you in the real life scenario, your head will not be in one place. So many crazy thoughts will be running through your head. If it were me, I wouldn't know what to do...I may take the risk or not.

Once it comes to gambling, we should know that it's all about taking a risk of winning or loosing whennwe are gambling, but why should we also decided to add risk ontop risk to make things more complicated for us all the way, we need to think twice before making any decisions in gambling because When we concluded on any, we should also be ready to accept the consequences that may comes after what we have chosen, the greed in us can lead to landing at the spot we least expect because of the level of risk involved from our actions.
1018  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to detect two different prices on P2P trade on: November 15, 2023, 02:26:05 PM
I've also thought about the possibilities for these to happen, when we are trading, we can get different price offer from using a different exchange platform because they all cannot have thesame exact amount of exchange rate for btc to local currency in usd calculations as a standard rate, but the difference are small anyway, but when we make use of higher amount of money, the rate increase and the little difference amount to something in our local currencies, experienced traders could understand more better on this.

Fixing the image errors have been provided and the procedures are there, it's now left for someone to make a challenge to follow the procedures and fix them up or not, i believe a number had already done that, but some don't mind or care because their profile contains alot of these broken images and they think they don't have the time to create in fixing the images or feels it's unnecessary, the forum could also have it's own reasons for not allowing image upload, but since the solution to fix them are available, it's left to us to make decision on what next to do.
1020  Economy / Economics / Re: Foreign reserves on: November 15, 2023, 11:40:08 AM
I just want to ask a question. Assuming people are buying the foreign currencies and hold it in their domiciliary account and not used in another country for buying of goods to be imported, is the foreign reserves decreasing like that? I mean if the foreign currencies is bought by the citizens of a country and hold in their bank account, and not used to buy from another country.

This is where we are being cheated, it should have increase over time when the value of the fiat currency increases over a local currency of a particular country, but that's not the case, your financial asset remain still all because they are not cryptocurrency, if it were to be btc, it value will increases as the value placed on him increases, maybe all these were part of what lead to the development of a decentralized cryptocurrency
