1081  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if Bitcoin Was the Only Cryptocurrency? on: March 30, 2023, 03:21:49 PM
ChatGPT didn't tell you that if bitcoin was the only cryptocurrency, it might have ended before now. This is because the eyes of the government would be there, the eyes of the ordinary people will be there, the eyes of big project owners like the owner of Ethereum and even CZ would be there. There would be much manipulations which would have made regulation need to become intensive and then there will be much centralization which would give the government access to bitcoin.
The real point is that alternative cryptocurrencies have made much eyes not to be on bitcoin and greedy fellows would rather want to create their own coins instead of struggling with bitcoin.

Live support
How many staff will you hire for live support and how much are you gonna pay them? If we have a live support here will no longer be called a forum, but maybe an e-commerce website. That question you want to ask like support, there are millions of users ready to answer you when you create a topic with it.

It doesn't concern the community if you registered with your real name, fake email or whatever. It is no body's business. Here is not a company and no KYC needed.

You can be able to know if a user is online by checking their profile and you will also be able to know the total people online at a particular time.

I'm not saying that all stories like this are made up, but it seems to me that somehow between the congratulatory comments and the merits, it encourages people to make up these stories.

Thoughts?
More than 80% of all these bitcoin achievements and break through are made up stories. There are no proves and at best what you will see as a prove is a picture which can be taken by anyone at any place.
I saw a similar thread about fish farm I cannot find the link now and the farm doesn't even look like a new one.
Tbh, a real achiever wouldn't want to share their testimonies here.
But people will continue to congratulate such posts no matter how often they appear because they have post to complete in a week.

Op, Nigerians have a local board. It will be fine if you discuss important things about Nigeria in the Nigerian board. I am sick and tired of reading all negative things about Nigeria in the bitcointalk. What exactly will this post achieve for you here?
Are the Nigerian leaders here in bitcointalk? I am not in anyway supporting bad leadership and their is no ideal country.
Let us limit the way we paint Nigeria black always or in some situations balance it with the good part of Nigeria too.

I have been visiting BitcoinTalk for more than a year after a friend recommended it to me.

I didn’t know people still hang around for so long before creating an account. I would like to welcome to the forum as a member.


I believe people who still lurk around bitcointalk without registering doesn't really visit here on almost daily basis as we do. They may visit once, and get as information as they wish to get and that will be all for this month. Next month they may visit once or twice.
Then if you are really engaged in the physical world with work and other things, I think you would be carried away and there is also a room for procrastination and more.

Jay welcome to the forum and be a good user of the forum. Please all that was given you to read.

Snip
It actually does, topic titles are as important as the body of the posts but many people take that for granted and that's why some posts don't get the attention they deserve.
It's not aguable sir, hence all you said are confirmed to be true. But in some cases when a newbies makes such topic it would result in low turned out just as you said of a contributor to the forum.
I myself have also found some post created by contributors which I noticed the body of the subject matter doesn't really convincing despite the topic attracted many users.
In such post you could only found out that there are many viewers or visitors but people doesn't comment since the body of the messages is not comprehendible.

I dont have any laid down rules for writing posts title as I do not consider it a big task. Infact I do not write my post title until I am able to finish the body of the post, then I can write the post title.  I write post title based on what the body of my post said and not based on what I preconceived in my memory. Sometimes you can have one particular unique topic in your head but during expression you can digress from your original intentions. It isn't that advisable to make hard rules for creating titles of a post.

Fabrizio Romano in his page said that Chelsea seems to be in search of another striker after the deal of Christopher Nkunku is concluded and the possible target of Chelsea is Victor Osimhen. It was when I heard Victor that I began to question if Chelsea actually knows what they want? I mean they have had too many signings without selling of players and with such signings results are not coming yet. Do they still need to be signing the more?
Will Victor even agree to join a club that is not playing the champions league? This is because I haven't seen the possibility of Chelsea being in the Champions League.
1088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 28, 2023, 02:26:18 PM

It's no wonder that Chelsea have to gamble with a coach like Potter. Like it or not, this is the risk they take as a result of being careless in choosing a coach who admits that a club as big as Chelsea is not easy to control. With poor Premier League results, of course, the guarantee is sacked. Gradually it will happen, even more carelessly buying expensive players with quite poor skills and quality. Todd Boehly wasted too much money and the results weren't worth what he spent.
But in Brighton, Potter has built a strong team and, by the way, without such great financial opportunities as he has in Chelsea. He need to be able to adapt to everything, and if Potter is still in the post of head coach, then Boehly trusts him. Chelsea have a lot of difficult matches left in the Premier League, so they definitely shouldn’t count on something in the Premier League this season. In the Champions League is also not an easy opponent, the chances are not great there.
Whether Chelsea did sack Thomas and employe Graham Potter or not I still do not believe that Chelsea would be able to win the Champions League or be the champions of the English Premier League under their former coach, who is Thomas.

Before Thomas was sacked. Chelsea was already on the decline line. And using Graham Potter as the replacement of Thomas was not a mistake because Graham was being so excellent with his boys in the Brighton team.
I still believe that Potter is a good coach and he will prove it in the next season with Chelsea.

I got some cash yesterday just to test the authenticity of the bank email and I was paid over the counter ₦‎20,000 to a great extent cash availability is becoming rampant and normally is gradually returning to purchasing environment in the economy.

-these cashless policies have proven two things, which are!
1: The level of corruption in the micro economy and pos vs retailers scam with unnecessary changes.
2: secondly this policy has also shown the weaknesses of our traditional banking system, except for the help of online wallets.



E also show say Nigeria never for mature wella to go all cashless. The petty traders who be some old women na dem suffer pass. Dem no see patronage again based on say dem no dey accept transfers.
After business the old women go cry go house and food fit no dey house again join. All these things dey happen Emefiele no wam gree release cash.
Las Las we go back to old naira. The election malpractice stop? Not at all. Plenty people don lose hope for the banking system of Nigeria.
1090  Other / Meta / Re: One new topic per month on: March 26, 2023, 01:38:49 PM
The proposal is: to prohibit (may be programmatically) creating more than one topic in one section in one month.
Reason: some sections are occupied by the same authors. Authors abuse the ability to create new topics.
Examples:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=128.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=91.0

As an alternative: make it possible to create a new topic after receiving 10 new merits
This is a discussion forum and what happens here is discussion. You shouldn't restrict anyone on how often he should discuss. If you don't like the topics they are creating ignore them and scroll pass. If you feel that particular user is posting rubbish, include the user in your ignore list.
If you feel their posts are generally shit and  shammy, report to the moderators and it is as simple as that.
Theymos will not buy the idea of chocking here with unnecessary rules that will limit participation.
1091  Other / Meta / Re: Plagiarism Vs Scam on: March 26, 2023, 01:29:38 PM
So my question is now is the crime of plagiarism more offensive than scamming? Huh
Both are important to get the forum's attention. not only in this forum but more institutions and other communities also prohibit plagiarism. then the forum will make special rules for accounts that commit plagiarism.
whereas scammers and forums are not moderated. but they are a concern for other users. tags in the account will be a consideration for anyone not to deal with scammers. although the account is still active on the forum, it still has a warning attached to its account, limiting the work it can do.
I don't think that there is any where in the world where the crime of plagiarism would be considered to have more weight than the crime of scamming.
It is only in this forum that plagiarism has a heavier punishment that scam. And I understand that the reason it is like that is because there actually a way to detect whoever that plagerised and then punish him/her.
But there is no easy way to determine that someone is a scammer. So, deciding to moderate scam may end up victimising the innocent.

Yes. It's the only game that's hard to predict. Bayern vs Man City have a balanced ability this season. Bayern's game is also very fast. But Bayern has stopped a big club full of superstars, namely PSG. This has become the standard for their abilities when dealing with Man City.
This season Manchester City also has players who are good enough to be used in very important matches such as in the Champions League. The difficulty of making predictions on the Bayern Munich vs Manchester City match seems to have aroused a lot of curiosity about who will win the match. I'm really looking forward to this match as well as the Real Madrid game and also the Napoli game in this season's Champions League in the Quarter-Finals.
I had already predicted that Bayern Munich will qualify but I regret my prediction. Honestly, I didn't know that Bayern will change their coach at this very point in time.
It is like I am almost certain that Guardiola will revenge Tuchel on the champions league he lost 3 seasons ago or so. Bayern made a very big mistake by changing their coach at this very critical moment of the champions league. I know they will likely regret it because Tuchel will first get to know the boys and then understand the politics of the club before he can start to perform.
1093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current Topic: African Players Discussion. on: March 25, 2023, 06:02:01 PM
For the AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS QUALIFICATION FIXTURES AND RESULTS 2023 who do you think will be the top scorer of the qualifications rows. I'm thinking Victor Osimhen and Nigeria is going to secure a spot in the finals of the AFCON competition very easily. They play GUINEA-BISSAU next on the 24/03/2023 and I don't see them losing that match. What do you guys think about this fixture and other fixtures as well?.
Victor Osimhen is the name that will always come first in the minds of almost everyone who wants to make this prediction but looking at the level which the Super Eagles are playing it will be very difficult for Osimhen to get as many goals as he would have wanted. I’m not confident of the Super eagles making it far in the competition, they could barely even win against Guinea.
I didn't watch the yesterday qualification but it was after the first half that it started trending that I understood and remembered of the match qualification between Nigeria and Guinea Bissau. I quickly checked the line up and I was able to see Ndidi and Iwobi in the central midfield and I also saw Dennis and Chukwueze in the side midfield and finally I saw Iheanachor and Osimhen at the attacking top. But what I didn't understand was how managed they didn't get a goal for 90mins, not even the hot Osimhen.
1094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 25, 2023, 05:39:11 PM
Regarding the match between Manchester United and Newcastle, it will certainly be a test for Erik Ten Hag in extending his positive trend this season with the Red Devils. What's more, the potential to win is quite big and on paper Manchester United is superior. However, it seems that Casemiro will not be able to join to strengthen the midfield, which indeed cannot be replaced. Need an ideal option in midfield because, without a red card sanction, Erik Ten Hag needs to change the rotation of the game.
Even though Man United still has Fred, McTominay, and Sabitzer to fill Casemiro's position but I think their game will be very different compared to when Casemiro played in the team. It is likely that Newcastle will dominate in the middle so practically Man United will rely more on their attacks through the flanks.
The habit of casimiro been able to get red card in Premier League almost consecutivel is a warning to Erik 10 that he needs to have a good replacement for casimiro in the midfield in case of such future occurrences.
If you watched Manchester United match against Fulham in the FA Cup, you will discover that Manchester United really suffered in the midfield and that was how Fulham finally got hold of Manchester United and would have won the match if not for Williams and Mitrovic careless red card
1095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 25, 2023, 05:31:54 PM
Tuchel will most probably get that job. First he was great with Dortmund, and then he was great with Chelsea and got the UCL with them even when they weren't that great. Now that if he comes to Bayern which everyone expects them to make a deal, then I guess he could be good enough to get them the title. I am not saying that will be this year considering he will be joining so late.
Bayenr has been officially announcing that tuchel be bayern's coach until 2025.



Finally, another big news came from bayern. It seems like that bayern will have a different play style for sure. I can't wait for the match against manchester city. Some bayern's players are also very interested to see how he will be coaching the club. I do believe many bayern fans have very big expectations for him like win UCL this season.


Tbh, I do not know the reason that Bayern Munich sacked their coach. I mean this coach didn't not perform so poor. What was the target given to the coach that he didn't meet up?
Bayern is at the helms of affairs in the German Bundesliga. Bayern also recently eliminated PSG in the Champions league even when there was Mane and Manuel Neuer, they will still doing well.
Could it be that there is an internal problem between the coach and the management?
1096  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The effect of drugs abuse on youths on: March 24, 2023, 11:45:45 AM
Today in the society you discover children under the age of eighteen years old being involved in all manners of social vices such as drug abuse, sexual harrasment, rape, gambling addiction, stealing and lackadaisical attitude to learn the right thing and develop interest of going to school, they easily got exposed to the bad things of life than the good because they they believe they environment they lived in is their final bus stop in life, but we have the individuals decision to choose how we want our lives to be regardless of our background.
Environment is the major factor that influences youth to involved in all this social vices.
A child that is grown in a ghetto where everybody smokes and drinks.
Where gambling is seen as a normal thing. Where all manner of hard drugs are taken. That very child will grow up and continue taking all those hard drugs believing that it is a real way of life.
Before he would understand that he is not in the right lane. It would be late for him and by then it might have turned into addiction. Government has a very important role to play by making sure the standard of living of her citizens is okay and also enforcing laws to avoid drug abuse.
1097  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there anything like Bitcoin savings? on: March 24, 2023, 11:21:25 AM
Nothing in particular is called or termed bitcoin savings but one can always achieve this same goal by developing a good savings habit, if we can do it while dealing with fiat then we should be able to do same with bitcoin, one has to device this means through his personal improvisation, which is more easier by getting a personal wallet like hardware wallet or any other  cold storage to be used for saving the bitcoin we will not use over a time and then have another wallet that we will be spending from whenever we want to make our spendings.
Funny enough what Op described above is even the real essence of Bitcoin.
Instead of creating account in exchange is like binance and keep bitcoins there. It is good that you have your own personal wallet and you keep sending bitcoin there with a method called dollar-cost averaging and within some years, tou will receive the reward of your investment into Bitcoin.

About from what Op described above, I would want to know what OP thought about bitcoin before now.
1098  Economy / Economics / Re: Replacement? on: March 24, 2023, 11:03:36 AM
I have been seeing the progress of cryptocurrency these past few years, and I've been thinking, will it definitely be a replacement for physical money and use crypto as a primary transactions in our everyday life?
Cryptocurrency and bitcoin is an alternative to the fiat money and it is not coming to replace it in anyway, however, I understand that the use of cryptocurrency will increase very much in online shopping and businesses.
But in the real world the use of fiat would never be replaced and also the essence of Bitcoin is not to replace the fiat, but rather the essence of Bitcoin is to give users alternative to either use bitcoin or fiat or chose to used both.

My children are at home chase from school, I could not pay fees again. What could be the cause of scarcity of cash?
Please be specific. What happened? Why were your children chase from school? There is a difference between not having money and general scarcity of paper money happening in my country. Someone could have money in the bank and be spending it electronically which is different from one who is expecting the scarce cash.
Why your children drop from school? Did you lose your job? Or does your means of earning money got closed?
Or you had no job before and leaving on people's benevolence and hence they stopped being benevolence, suffering started.

Do women actually share their pants? What's the possibility that it happens?
When something is private because of hygiene is different when it is private because of security and trust.
If you are married, you can share everything including wallet keys with your loved one so that your coins will not lost when you eventually die.
While some people will decide to be private and remain private even till death.
having a partner and being married would be better, sharing a private key in case we can't do anything and need the help of the most trusted person, namely our partner.
But it's very different when you don't have a partner and don't have someone you trust.
Apart from that, family also seems to be the most trusted people, but everyone has a different affinity with their family. Make sure you have someone you trust and will continue the wallet that we have, don't let it get lost and no one opens it. Quite a lot of assets in a crypto wallet can become an inheritance which certainly provides true financial freedom.
That is a true statement. It is a matter of trust. One would always trust a family member unless in a few cases where someone outside the family is trusted more.
But one disadvantage people face is that some of the family members maybe the one you trust may not be interested in bitcoin and cryptocurrency. So even when they have the keys, they still need the help of someone to be able to get the monies of the wallets.
That is why I recommend that you teach a trusted someone about bitcoin before sharing the keys.
