1061  Other / Meta / Re: What is the advantage of Wearing signature avatar on your BTT profile? on: April 07, 2023, 10:45:15 AM
Have seen many of members wear signature avatar, Can you members give idea what that be expected from wearing signature avatar on your profile?
Ads and promotions. Then youll get compensated by exposing these ads through process called signature campaign. Of course there are different rules on that but youll only needign to post across different threads and show that signature on your profile to make it expose to more people and thats marketing. But some uses the space too for their own business or services here. Its depend on the user how he will make use of that privilege when he got a higher rank for the signature codes and avatar.
In addition to that can we consider aesthetics?
Well wearing signature and avatar beautifies our profile.
This is especially when you wear a well designed signature and avatar of the same company. There is a kind of uniformity that appeals the eyes.
Then it is not compulsory to wear any of them, but because of the reward that is associated with it, almost everyone except a few people wear the signature and avatar.
I learnt that when this forum was newly created, the avatar space used to be profile picture space.

Who will take charge of the account, you right? Because you are the one doing the arbitrage trading.
What if after opening the account and completing KYC you lock the person out, what will the person do?
Tag your worthless newbie account I guess?
Then, why the interest in Nigeria? Do we have profitable exchanges or rates or just for your natural love for Nigerians?


He doesn't have to put a penny ( I will take the risks ) and i'll Plit 50/50 with him.

You are notntaking the risk. Someone completing the KYC is the one taking the risk.

even though Chelsea has a new coach it won't make Chelsea better in a matter of 1 or 3 months, whoever becomes Chelsea coach will not make their supporters satisfied quickly, when they lose they always ask for a change of coach and it's always like that, so the meeting Chelsea against Madrid later, of course, will be a meeting that might destroy Chelsea, but we will never know Chelsea might surprise them in the match against Madrid.
The new coach doesn't matter it still depends on players that are playing, this is also a gradual process. Between Chelsea and Real Madrid now the strong team among them is Madrid, if Chelsea win it will be a shock to me and if Madrid loss is going to be a surprise to me. Madrid is far stronger than Chelsea now, is going to be to early for the coach to win Madrid due the performance of the team, they are doing excellently now.
Assuming there is a new experienced coach, the story would have been different because the boys will definitely sit up in order to impress the new coach. But with Frank Lampard being repeated as a coach till the end of the season is not a good one for Chelsea.
Lampard previously failed in Chelsea, so what has he got this time to give. The boys won't be under pressure to perform. Maybe they will wait till next season when a new coach would be welcomed in order for them to perform.
In conclusion, I have never thought about Chelsea qualifying ahead of Real Madrid and last night action has made me to stick more to my believe.
1064  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 06, 2023, 03:05:49 PM
Newcastle seem to have gone into overdrive of late, they keep scoring too many goals and just last night they got 5 passed westham which was unexpected!
And if Manchester United and Newcastle end this campaign with same points they will remain on top because of their superior goal scoring... I guess big money is now working at Newcastle , wonder if these guys are given goal scoring bonuses because the team looks highly motivated and getting the job done.

From the look of things a top four finish looks guaranteed for these guys, thanks to their  consistency.

Newcastle had a bad spell in the autumn, but then they were able to overcome their draw tendencies and went on a long winning streak. Now it looks like history has repeated itself - they survived the recession and began to churn out victories. In such conditions, Tottenham (which have played one game more, while they have 3 points less) has no chance to break into the fight for the top 4. Not to mention the clubs that are even lower.
What seems to become clearer to people now has already been clear to me right from time? I have always maintained that Newcastle United will remain at the top four of the English Premier League till the end of this year's season.
Why I said so is because I evaluated the team and I saw the level of motivation and teamwork that is among the Players.
Even when a very Star Player is not available for play others will cover up and Newcastle will still perform optimally in that very much.

Apart from the above, Newcastle does not have any European competition to play so they have enough time to practice and they would not be affected by fatigue.
So, their major  concern currently is the English Premier League top four and they will not jeopardize that
1065  Economy / Economics / Re: Should you save, when you are wealthy? on: April 05, 2023, 04:29:24 PM
Sometimes we ask questions that are nit really worth it, seing ruch people existing doesn't mean they have money milking machine inside their house or a money tree whereby they pluck continually, rich people saves as well, not only that, they also invest and diversify their investment as well, they are well disciplined people that understand the principles behind riches and are ready to give all it takes to maintain being rich.
There might be a big difference between being wealthy and being rich. We can say that wealthiness is the extreme of richness. So not all rich people are wealthy.
Saving is a tool that poor people tend to use to achieve financial freedom.
But it has proven that rich people do not emerge from savings rather from investment. I do not think that wealthy people keep saving after becoming wealthy.
What they do instead is investing. What are they saving for?  for rainy days? With they everly have sunny days. Well, this might depend on the level of wealthiness we are talking about.
1066  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is it possible to get bitcoins for free? on: April 05, 2023, 04:04:03 PM
      Okay so earlier I came across a site that claimed that it's possible to get bitcoins for free by just; playing offline and online games, watching ads and videos, participating in airdrops and so on. They also recommended apps that give out bitcoin for free  like coinbase. Bitcoin, ranked as one of the most expensive cypto currencies can be earned for free by just watching ads? Nah I just find it hard to believe cause I've seen a lot of scam related schemes that claim to give out bitcoin for free. I don't know, I might be wrong cause I'm still a newbie that's why I brought this here, to see if I can get some clarification on the matter. Thank you.
lots of sites and apps that offer bitcoins for free, by just playing games.
but I downloaded the application several times like it's mostly fraud.
I haven't tried much, but I have tried several times, all of them are just scams, none of them actually pay, so don't be fooled.
This happened in the early days of bitcoin when bitcoin was struggling to dominate. I do not think that it still happens now. It is altcoin new projects that does it in the form of airdrop where you will complete some tasks related to publicity and you will rewarded with coins. Some might be useful while many atimes the coins may not worth it.

Nothing is totally free. Instead of seeking where to get bitcoin for free, you should instead try and aquire bitcoin related skills such that you can earn from the skills.
1067  Other / Meta / Re: How to get away with posting off-topic replies. on: April 05, 2023, 03:54:41 PM
So, I've found a system that works 100% of the time if you want to post off-topic replies and not having them deleted (I exclude here the WO thread, where they are allowed).

The system is as follows:

1. Be a somewhat established member.
2. Post them on Reputation section threads.
3. Enjoy.

This is not true.
The moderators on their own do not tour the forum searching for off topic replies. Yes, they don't unless by coincidence they stumble on one.
It therefore means that people report such of topic posts and the reporters respect the somewhat established members and refuse to report their posts.
The reporters are delighted in reporting newbies and lower-ranked members posts who are also delighted in making low value posts.
But in all the forum is becoming more lenient to her members in terms of moderation.
1068  Other / Meta / Re: How to add your Bitcointalk profile to your homescreen on: April 05, 2023, 03:22:41 PM
.
I say i was expecting you to tell us the importance of having bitcointalk on our phones's home screen but you failed to do that.

There are important reasons why it is beneficial to add the bitcointalk icon to the homescrewn of your mobile phone or laptop;
  • One of the reasons is that it will enable people know that you are into bitcointalk and they will respect you in your environment.
  • Another reason is that seeing the icon on your mobile home screen will always remind you that you are a member of BTT. You know because of stress at work, you may forget that you belong here and make posts
  • Having the icon on your home screen will enable you check frequently if theymos has taken down the forum as he threatened
.
If you think that these reasons aren't enough you may go to court and sue the OP for making helpless post to you.

BTT is similar to other forums as no one cares who their members are, so how does this make one respectable in the environment? I'm curious, and I'd like to hear it.

I am sorry that you took my post literally without seeing the scarsm aspect of it. I was trying to justify the reason OP made the post in a jovial way hence there is no justifiable reason or neither is the subject matter important to the forum users.

Have theymos ever threatened to take the site down?

No, he hasn't. Just trying to make up reasons for OP and others who care to add BTT icon to their desktop or home screen.

Well, there's more to the forum than you thought, and theymos don't have absolute power to do whatever he wants; have you read about who owns the forum domain? It's an interesting read, but I'm too lazy to look for the link

No, theymos has absolute power and control of the bitcointalk.org domain. I read the thread were he started that there is from henceforth a distinction between bitcointalk.org and Bitcoin.org.
That is why here is called theymos forum.

I misread the OP as "Bitcoin mixers" in Nigeria.
Actually it is easier to have a Bitcoin mixer company than to mine Bitcoin in Nigeria. This is important now that chipmixer has paved way in the industry.
Talking about bitcoin mining in Nigeria, I believe we have discussed that in this board before where it was asked if the is a bitcoin mining pool in Nigeria?
If there's link to the thread it should be provided because it discussed it extensively.

sad news:

Brendan Rodgers has been sacked by Leicester

Graham Potter sacked by Chelsea

source: https://www.instagram.com/fabriziorom/


I can say that Liecester is fair than Chelsea. They gave Rodgers time that he deserved. Liecester started underperforming right from the first day of the English Premier League till today. At some point it was as if he has understood what was happening and would correct the errors but he couldn't.
Although he had also been faced with some injury problems in his team but this wouldn't be an excuse.
For Graham Potter I think the sack has been expected by Chelsea fans for so long but it finally came. He is a good manager but was unfortunate in Chelsea.
1074  Economy / Economics / Re: Money as a store of value... on: April 02, 2023, 09:11:38 AM
Firstly what is the word store of value;store of value is something that maintain its worth both in the present and the future.Money is a type of assets in an economy that you can use to buy goods and services from other people or businesses.One of the functions of money in an economy is that it's serves as a store of value.
     A store of value is something people use to transfer purchasing power from the present to the future.
     While money is an asset that can store value, and also Gold and silver for example, acts as store of value.
     Since money is accepted as a store of value, trade is much more efficient.When an individual or business accepts money in exchange for a goods and services, the seller can store the money in a bank account and retrieve it later in the future.
Obvious money stores value. I don't think anyone wants to argue on that. If money has not value there wouldn't been need to save money. Many people has fixed deposit account which is just like staking your coin for xyz duration of time. When the time reaches to withdraw money you will still see your money with its value.
However the purchasing power may likely reduce because of inflation that affects fiat system. This is the reason some people are longer saving in the bank
1075  Other / Meta / Re: How did you enjoyed the Captcha on: April 02, 2023, 08:53:15 AM
Where you afraid when you first noticed the red flag?

As far as the captcha thing goes, I wasn't in the mood for figuring out what Theymos was doing.  I only noticed that I could post normally without having to play Super Mario BCT, so that's what I did.  This year's fun & games could have been so much edgier given all that's happened since this time last year....but it wasn't.  Meh.
I had some kind of confusion in my head trying to understand what was happening. Since someone already made a thread a day before the 1st April, obviously it wasn't a surprise to me.
As I logged into my account, I started seeing the This user is a suspected spammer tag. I wasn't bothered because I knew it was about the joke. But when I wanted to make a post, I saw a pop up notification. I was shocked how ads have started running on bitcointalk like other websites. I figured out to reduce it and made my post without trying to complete the captcha. I didn't also know the game was because I felt it will be stressful to me since I visited the forum with mobile.

If you are a Liverpool supporter, I hope you can forget this season as a good season about Liverpool.
I am very disappointed with the team's performance this season, too disappointing to say, and shameful. Despite all the problems the team is facing, I hope next season will be better than this season. YWNWA - I'm staying here.

You don't need to be disappointed at your club, which is Liverpool. Why I said so is because when you look at the situation of Chelsea you will you will even laugh out loud and be happy that you are a Liverpool fan. The problem that Liverpool is having is not peculiar to only them. This season some other big clubs across the globe are struggling to make it to the top level of their respective leagues, maybe from next season they will prepare and come back to their form.

1078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: March 30, 2023, 04:11:26 PM
Manchester City will play against the mighty Bayern Munich. Although Bayern Munich is a strong team, they have changed coaches in recent times. And the team's performance is likely to deteriorate slightly due to a change of coach before such an important match. So Manchester City is favorites against Munich.
Initially, I was nervously waiting for match day Manchester City vs Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals.
With Bayern Muchen's experience in the Champions League, I'm not sure Munich can beat Manchester City easily. Seeing that Man City also has a coach who is experienced in the Champions League, namely Pep Guardiola, is different from Munich coach Julien Nagelsman who still lacks experience in the Champions League compared to Pep.

But now that "old" feeling is gone, after Munich recruited Thomas Tuchel as their newest coach, Thomas Tuchel has proven in the Champions League with Chelsea in his first season and has also proven his HEAD TO HEAD against Manchester city (Pep Guardiola). My prediction is that Bayern Munich will win the match and advance to the semifinals.
Pep G. It will be difficult for him to face Bayern Munich, a team he managed for many years but was unable to win the Champions League for. He has given Manchester City everything they have ever needed, with the exception of the Champions League. It will be difficult for Pep because Tuchel was appointed by Bayern Munich, and his first Champions League match is against Pep. squad for Manchester City. Tuchel is another seasoned coach; two years ago, he led a faltering Chelsea team to the championship. He wants to do it once more, but in order to move on, he must defeat Pep. In the competition, this game is a must-win. I don't think Bayern Munich will defeat Manchester City, hence Manchester City will move on to the next round.
Bayern Munich has been a very strong team in the German Bundesliga. And also generally in the Champions League. It is a team that eliminated PSG recently in the Champions League.

People have believed their capacity and the ability to produce very quality players that are very ready to dismantle any football club. but my recent surprise is the hype that came in immediately former Chelsea coach Thomas was announced as Bayern Munich coach. I did not see the presence of a new coach to change anything in the match between Manchester City and Bayern Munich. I have already seen that much that Manchester City will be able to eliminate Bayern Munich this time around at the presence of Tuchel will not change it
1079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 30, 2023, 03:54:19 PM
Liverpool is not an easy opponent but Manchester City must get full points in the match later to keep the points gap with Arsenal if you want to be part of the hunt for the EPL league championship, I think many are waiting for this match because of course the bets with pretty good odds and I bet on manchester city because I'm sure the city will get their win because they play as the host and are watched by many of their supporters.

The current quotes for this game are as follows:

1.60 - 4.20 - 5.50

City is overrated. 1.60 against Liverpool is just ridiculous even if Liverpool have a bad season and whatever. It seems to me that not the last reason for such quotes is that everyone basically thinks that the rivalry between Arsenal and City should continue, but many thought that in Serie A after the World Cup, competitors would start catching up with Napoli, but everything happened exactly the opposite. Why shouldn't we see a similar picture in the Premier League?
There is one thing that always happens whenever Liverpool and Manchester City are to face each other in the English Premier League.
That thing that happens is that people always forget the head-to-head between the two clubs.
Whenever there is match between these two giants. I always do not forget the head-to-head record. If you are looking at the current form Liverpool is not in any way a match to Manchester City, but we will all understand that every match between Liverpool and Manchester City is always a problem for Manchester City.

If I am not wrong, the recent meetings between these two clubs has been in the favour of Liverpool and this time around Liverpool is striving to enter the top four of the English Premier League, and I wouldn't think that they will miss three points in this match.
Their worst results should be that they will go home with just one point.
1080  Economy / Economics / Re: Binance CZ sued on: March 30, 2023, 03:40:57 PM
Binance CEO Zhao and his COO got sued by CTFC ( commodity futures and trading commission ) , why won't these people just leave this man alone?  Angry also is this why the market is currently crashing? These people mean CZ and I hope this guy will move out of the US for good, those people are just still mad with what he did with FTX, many secrets came to the light and many aren't too happy about it.

   -  It's possible for cz to solve that, that's how you know you're strong in the cryptocurrency market. He was only made an issue in binance US, but not in other countries where there is an established binance. Those who make FUD in binance are just like that.

If we notice that the fud that they did in binance was not affected much, didn't the value of Bitcoin in the market immediately recover. And I think it looks like it will reach 30k$ each until April 2023.

I don't even want to bring this up, but the fact that Binance is not affecting the price of BTC likely means
1: They dont hold 1:1 BTC reserves
2: They are freezing withdrawals of BTC
3: They deal more shitcoins than BTC

Either way it doesn't look like they have much respect for censorship resistant money.

1. Is likely going to be true but Cz is not gonna admit it
2. I don't believe point this, Binance is not freezing and neither are they restricting BTC withdrawal.
3. This is obviously true and I most times question their process of listing shitcoins in their platform.
The market will not be fine with binance monopoly
