Can you please educate me on this because I booked class during my high school, I would have learnt about the rules of acronym formation. Help a brother.

What is the acronym for British Broadcasting Corporation ?
BBC

What is the acronym for International Business Machines ?
IBM

What is the acronym for British Petroleum ?
BP

What is the acronym for Kentucky Fried Chicken ?
Etc...
KFC

I think you now have the basics.
Yes sir.

Bitcointalk it's for "Bit Coin Talk" or Bi Tcoin Talk" ?
I want to know your logic if you answer the 2nd solution.
Bitcoin is a word, although formed from two words, but one word in the crypto lexicon. Bitcoin-talk could just be BT according to m2017, but...

And for the older among us, BTT has long been used for Bit TorrenT.

Any special relationship between Bit Torren T and Bitcoin?

Xx
  • BTCT  
  • BTT
  • BCT  
And I will go with the first option because the acronym of bitcoin is BTC. So, BiTCoinTalk should be BTCT.
A whole debate erupted over the choice of abbreviation. Smiley
I expected the debate because this is an open forum with diverse opinions. Moreso, there are alot of learned people who will like to make inputs in one way or the other.

BCT - probably, if we consider the rules for the formation of abbreviations, this version is the most accurate.
Can you please educate me on this because I bonked class during my high school, I would have learnt about the rules of acronym formation. Help a brother.

Let me add more fuel to the discussion to help it flare up better. Smiley Why is the option not being considered:
BT - BitcoinTalk, briefly and clearly.
Obviously, this is an added petrol but then I will like to say that BT is too simple and easy to write or memorize. We don't like cheap things in this forum  Grin

2. Do  not keep bitcoin in an exchange wallet: This is also important to be aware of. A lot of people only think that after protecting their seed phrases, their coins are secured.

There's alot of contradictions in your advice. It is either English words are failing you to express yourself or you do not understand so well what you are advising.
First, it will just be fine to say that I shouldn't keep my coins on exchanges and not exchange wallet.
Secondly, you said alot of people thinks after protecting their seed phrase, their coins are secured. How is this related to the exchanges under discussion. Exchanges do not issue seed phrases.
Also in number 1, you advise that we should keep safe oor seed phrase and in number 2, you went ahead to discourage us from number one. It all, I believe advise is gotten but I don't know if people will use it although.

Where and when did theymos make the law that everyone must first use a notepad to edit their posts before publishing in BTT?

 I gist this some best ways also to feel free when writing or editing text.
No, it is the best way to give yourself double work when typing and editing.

It’s has been for help to top and higher ranks on the forums.
I never knew this was the secret behind the success of LoyceV, 1maiu, CryptopreneurBrainboss, Lovesmayfamilis, fillippone and others. Now I know, I will start using it.

  It also serves as pen and paper when you are not close to them
Ok, that's nice

This is how a notepad app look like….

Thanks for the picture. I had thought that notepad is like Xmas tree if not for this image.

I've run out of words to see Onana's level of behavior. Neither at MU nor in the Cameroon national team, he always did silly things that were detrimental to the team.
I think he has started star syndrome since his move from Inter to MU. Just imagine letting go of De Gea for a goalkeeper like Onana. Another fact is that Cameroon suffered defeat when Onana entered the starting eleven.
On the other hand, Inter Milan is enjoying a much better replacement for Onana, namely Yan Sommer. I don't know how long Onana will continue to do this stupid thing at MU, I hope ETH will rotate the goalkeeper position and try Altay Bayındır and reserve Onana for a while.
Now is definitely not the time to tender blames, rather there are more significant moment to make corrective paths on mistakes done. We should not tender our blames on Erik Ten Hag for signing André Onana from Inter Milan. First, he had good structure in Inter Milan were he made numerous saves that credited him to be one of the few African goalkeepers. But coming to Manchester United, the story have not been the same, alot of things change for the Cameroon international, he failed to make appearance and Aldo flopping at club level, Onana have conceded more goals than an estimated average player.
Onana has attracted many criticism in the recent time, ranging from his country Cameroon to his club Manchester United. It started from Manchester United before it got to the national team Cameroon. I have somewhat followed up the African Nations Cup and I do not think that I would have to blame on Onana for cameroonian national teams loss in the ongoing African Cup of Nations competition.

Even without anana and the goal post of cameroonian national team, they still lost and are officially out of the African Nations Cup. The only thing I am not confident about Manchester United goalkeeper is that he always make stories to be at the headline of the press knowing too well that the press, the media and even the Manchester United fans have not in love with him. He needed to be more reserved, calm and calculative but in the other words he is always at the headline. I just pray that is career should not continue in the decline lane that it has found itself.

Not just Barcelona, they even had a partnership with Seria A as well. I watch La Liga matches very often, and I always see Melbet being advertised on the stadium billboards. Isn't melbet also a proven scam and one of the sister sites to 1xbit/1xbet? Yes, it is, but it seems to me that the scammers mastered the art of persuading even top leagues and clubs with money.
These actors really give crypto a very bad name.
Yeah. I was aware of the Melbet advertisements being advertised during those matches and I believe you shared a screenshot related to one of those matches in this thread itself sometime back.

does anyone has feedback from https://sbgok.org/ foundation? they promise to help causes like ours, but I dont see any results at all
This is the very reason that I hate selective scamming. That type of scam always give room for the scammer to be sustainable for a very long of time. When a particular casino is scam selecting, it will throw a very big confusion in the industry or among gamblers while some people will say that they are scammers others who are yet to be scam would defend them that they are not scammers yet they will continue with their scam activity. This is not a good thing among the gamblers because it would still give the scammers the opportunity to advertise even in reputable website and platforms. I am not sure that as bitcoin talk users have known that 1xbit is a scam casino that many people outside the food also know that. You will understand that this confusion will continue for a very long time.

But if this was to be an exit scam, the information will be all over the internet and everyone will take note of the domain and identify them as scammers and that will definitely be the end of that type of scam.

Saudi Arabian is not going to give up and they want to try hiring Modric at the end of this season. Modric had some offers from the Saudi Lague but he decided to stay in Real Madrid and play for this team while everything is now changed and Modric is in the situation in which he should think about retiring and he should race with other younger players to play in Real Madrid maybe that's why he will choose to play in Saudi League and end his career there.


Currently, Modric is getting fewer playing minutes than Kroos, but I think Ancelotti has other reasons for that. Modric is the oldest player at the club and perhaps currently his performance is not so good if he is used from the first minutes of the match. Because Ancelotti often included him in the second half as a substitute. If Modric is aware of course he will accept that decision, especially since Ancelotti has to give a lot of playing minutes to his young players. Going to the Saudi league will only make his passion decrease and it would be better for him to retire at Real Madrid.
The only means to know if a player is passionate or committed to his club is not to retire in the club. Modric give his best to Real Madrid, I say so because I know that modric did not give his best to Tottenham because that was not his best time. You cannot tell me that someone who has been committed to Real Madrid and the one countless Champions League titles and locally titles with the club is not committed to the club just because he moved to another club even at the tail end of his career.

Modric movie to Saudi Arabia would also be a good thing to Real Madrid because they will have to earn from his exit. What more do we want the old Korean to do? He has successfully given his best and trained young players that will replace them and also works them through the process of replacement and they are all stars and will succeed with or without him. So it is best that we respect his decision, whether or not he is leaving Real Madrid will not erase the fact that he is a legend in the club.

A great tie, great rivalry but Chelsea are very far off it so there isn’t much rivalry any longer. I think Jürgen clopp boys will get the win in this tie over Chelsea

A cruicial 3 points in their title charge; I do not think Chelsea stands a chance
3 points is necessary for big clubs. Mauricio Pochettino have another test to clear the doubt of his supporters, he won't relent but focused on winning the top games at hand. On the other hand, Jurgen Klopp is in his last season for the club, he won't stay back and watch his team lose to Chelsea, not when he got eyes on the EPL title. Liverpool vs Chelsea at Anfield this weekend. This is an important game, I'll not forgive myself if I missed out on this game because my favorite team is playing against their rival who's topping the English Premier League table.
Comparing the performance and determination of Liverpool and Chelsea this season, I can confidently say that Liverpool will win Chelsea at any time and the best results Chelsea can get out of the match is draw. But most times football is not just read literally, there are some spices of wonders and unexpectations that makes football to be the most exciting sports.

When you sincerely look at Chelsea performance in the last five matches you would see that that woefully performance that they started with has been eradicated. Chelsea is currently on the length of success and the team is improving speedily. This should be a very strong warning to a devastated Liverpool side who has not resurrected from the news of possible Klopp exit at the end of the season. The match will be exciting to watch.

Ivory Coast had other plans today and am wondering where they were all this long... Senegal have been forced to play extra time from a winning position thanks to some clumsy goal keeping from Mendy which called for a VaR review and Hosts got a late minute penalty.

And from what I can see, Senegalese players look tired and have nothing more to give and hoping the script won't be an exit for the defending champions...

Let's go team Mane, show us why you were crowned Champions 🥳
I know that Senegalese will be sad at this moment but I am somehow happy that they have exited this year African Cup of nation's competition. I am not an ivorian rather I am a Nigerian but I am seeing Senegal as a big threat to the success of Nigeria in this tournament that is why I was so prayerful that Senegal should be eliminated.

Now that the defending champions are out of the competition I think Nigeria is able to face the rest of the countries that are still in the tournament. But at a point I was somehow pitiful at Mane because I so much love his nature as a true African man. But then I have nothing to do because I cannot love him more than Victor osimhen.

How can we be so sure that you are telling the truth and that this is not self made up story?
Majority of the stories we read here are just made up stories and since we do not have any reliable means to differentiate a real story from a fake one, we just rely on our instincts and maybe believe whatever we like. Is there a penalty for anyone you lies in the forum? Maybe the same punishment for plagerism be metted to them?

Meanwhile, Op's story whether real or made up is a common knowledge and also the main reason why many people, especially the newbies claim that bitcoin is a scam. It is these third party platforms that gives bitcoin bad names.
I think your story is very random, it happens with anything you spend $80 on.

Most people classify losing $80 as a scam but they are truly fortunate in their ignorance, $80 can only mean that you invested in experience for a situation that should not be repeated.
Do you mean that you have read some other stories related to $80 and scam?
273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 27, 2024, 03:44:50 PM
We have the same view here, I also think that there is no manager worthy of handling Liverpool apart from Xabi Alonso and De Zerbi, both of whom have good reputations at the clubs they each manage (Xabi with Bayer Leverkusen and De Zerbi with Brighton ).

Then, if we narrow down these two candidates again, who do you think is more appropriate? For me, the choice should fall on De Zerbi and not without reason, we know De Zerbi handles Brighton which is a team in the PL, which means De Zerbi has more experience than Xabi Alonso.
Liverpool needs a coach that's competent to replace Jurgen Klop without having difficulties, there are more special moments with the current coach, it's good he made his intentions well known for the purpose of the board to keep their mind ready and scout for replacement. Roberto De Zerbi and Xabi Alonso have stand out to be the only potential replacement, atleast they will fill in his shoes, this will be a tremendous moment in football, we have to clear out some good ideas for the big problem at hand, Jurgen Klopp leaving doesn't seem like a wise decision to most of us but the coach knows what he's facing and he have think this thoroughly before putting through.
I don't know how this will sound but I will have to say it out. If the current coach of Liverpool Jurgen Klopp eventually leave Liverpool for another club or for a sabbatical leave as he has said, it will be difficult for any other coach no matter how experienced he is to keep up his standard. This was actually the reality that be fell Manchester United. When Sir Alex Ferguson left Manchester United, we really thought that there will be a good replacement for Alex Ferguson. But years past and seasons passed there has never been any coach that has gone close to the performance of Sir Alex Ferguson. This is because the standard set by Sir Alex Ferguson is high and every other coach might not be able to match that standard if they do not build trust and relationship with the players and the management of the club.

It is not all about who knows how to coach, if you are a good observer you will understand that Klopp is now a fatherly figure for the players in Liverpool. He understands the players and as well as the management. I do not expect both Alonso or the Brighton coach to immediately fit into Liverpool. It will take some times and they might eventually get sacked and a couple other coaches sacked before results will start coming.

AFCON: Don’t watch us on TV anymore – Super Eagles captain, Musa sends message to President Tinubu

Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to watch the team on television anymore but to come over to Ivory Coast and cheer them at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.


Whether the president come over or on TV as for me they can't do anything because their football skill on the pitch is very weak and slow. And their previous match said about them all. Nigeria Super Eagles can't play with Morocco or Mali if the case may be if they escape from the round of 16.with Cameron. And instead nof calling the president to come over why can't he tell the president to prepare a wonderful monetary package for them if they win the cup and that will also motivate them on the field. The present of Tinubu will not change anything so they should play their game they way they want.
I just want to confirm if Ahmed Musa the captain of the super eagles team actually said the above. Is there any link to buttress that it was Ahmed Musa that made the statement. These days I am always not in a haste to believe anything that is written over the internet by the media personalities. If actually Ahmed Musa made such a statement, it should be concluded that Nigerians do not actually know what they want.

Do you guys remember the time of president muhammadu buhari, whenever he wishes the super eagles good luck and they lose they will say that it is the bad luck of the president that made them to lose. What do you think will happen if president bola Ahmed tinubu travels to Ivory coast to cheer the boys and they eventually lose. The statement would be that, since he never visited the boys they have been winning just the only time that he traveled to meet them they lost. Therefore it is the president that made them to lose.

Imagine a world without crime. A world where nobody is punishable because of any offense, because there are no laws either. A world where all the Citizens are well behaved. No fighting, no stealing, no rape and no embezzlement. Such a world would obviously be a perfect world. But since this kind of world does not exist, there's always a room for crime. But then I cannot clearly state the positive impact of crime in the society. If a country wants to test her arm department, maybe they send them to a war and not to promote crime because it has no positive impact in the society. I was waiting to know from Op, the positive impact of crime in the society and he failed to establish his facts.
276  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Poverty change people on: January 27, 2024, 02:34:21 PM
Poverty change people, I never thought as much until i came back from abroad.
I visited my old neighborhood while growing up to see some of my guys in the past, I observe that most of them have changed to something else, from their behavior to how they sees life, and to how bittered they are. Though we still get along well base on the kind of person I am, I don't even sees myself like the rich guy they take me for,  but I also feel their pain because life haven't been fair to them,  a caring and loving guy before is now always bittered,
When I read the title that poverty changes people, I was a kind of astonished to see that kind of topic title. What I had always known and read from people is that richness changes people and brings out their real behavior. Just like when you think that someone is very humble, immediately they lay their hands on a huge money that is able to make them to answer wealthy or a rich personality, their real life of arrogance will surface.

But then after reading what day op has for us, rightly understood the angle he was coming from. But what year did not realize is that different environment has different impact on people. You should not actually expect to meet the people you already know the same way you have known them for years ago.

the best I can do, which I did was to introduce them to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
Poverty is a disease that changes people.
Are you sure that the best you can do for them is to introduce them to cryptocurrency? If they are actually poor as you have said, bitcoin might not help them much unless they have a way to earn and invest in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. I believe you understand what I meant.

Look, you can be old and rich or young an poor, but being old and poor is bad shit.

A surefire way of doing the wrong kind of things is to spend your money early or try to live a good life quickly without thinking about the future. Or if you have an ok job or income to think that is enough, even if you cannot save.

All young people, understand that time an money are linked. It is not the same to invest early than late, it is not the same  to invest more early that try to invest more later. 100 is worth 100 today, but 800 in 20 years if you play it safe but well. Make no mistake, you will need to start creating your wealth.
I have always seen people talk down on saving as against investment. That is why I always appreciate any post that encourage or teaches saving. To save is a virtue and should not be discarded on the platter of ignorance. I am not speaking this against investment, rather against lavishing. It is very much important to save for the rainy days. Personally, I've also been a victim and in my own case, my savings saved me. I had been an offline worker, but at a time I decided to migrate and become a freelancer. But because of my poor knowledge of how they internet works, I was scammed. I trusted random online people like real life people and they dealt with me seriously. At a point I lost all I had but then my savings came for me and rescued me. I had decided that I would never spend from that fund no matter what happened either for investment of any other purpose. So, when I literally lost all I bounced back from that saving. From henceforth I do not joke with saving. No matter the investment of project that I am embarking, I would always serve a portion of my money no matter how small.

The only place we should come in is the means of saving. Do not save in fiat because its value reduces. Bitcoin is your friend.

If we had been in a particular condition about life, then we may not have needed someone to be preaching it to our hearing that we need to gamble responsible, once it begins to manifest and cost us than we could bear, then we will know the relevance of what we are having and missing as well, some people would be more best taught a lesson when they learn it directly from their own experience.
Well, you have a point. However, do we have to experience being in such situation before going to learn? If we can take precaution by keeping these tips in mind to be able to prevent ourselves experiencing such. But I agree that sometimes you have to go through it before realizing your mistakes to have a better understanding and to know the importance of responsible gambling. Experience is indeed the best teacher but if you can learn beforehand that would be even better.
It is just like some tips that are giving to the newcomers in the cryptocurrency industry and how to avoid scam. No matter how often this tips are being sounded to the ears of the newbies, you always see them being victims of scams. These newbies do not always learn from advice or tips that they found on the forum about scam, but once they are victim of scam they will definitely learn from experience.

This is also applicable to gambling. The advices about responsible gambling do not augur well with many gamblers especially the newcomers in the industry until they are victims of irresponsible gambling and gambling addiction. It is then that they will have to learn from experience. But the question is, do we always wait until we are victims before we learn. That is not a smart way to move, we should not allow ourselves to make all the mistakes before we learn from experience. We should try to learn from other people's mistake and gamble responsibly. When you become a responsible gambler, you do not have much to lose, rather you will gain and enjoy gambling as fun.

In view of what was revealed, it is probably true that they are experiencing a downturn, so they have made a policy of reducing their advertising activities to create a balance, and it is a logical decision that rather than stopping their advertising outright, reducing the payment is a wise decision and they can still continue their advertising without interruption.
Yeah. It's a logically sound decision indeed considering the global economy which is slowly and steadily recovering currently and the fact that they can't keep paying decent amounts forever without making a few cuts here and there.

This is similar to layoffs and paycuts in companies around the world if you think about it.
Strategically reducing the promotion funds is not a bad idea, especially if done in a decent way. It is nothing difficult to do for new projects or casinos, but when it is done by a company who has been promoting consistently for more than 2 years, it raises eyebrows for mismanagement or something related.

If a casino reduced her promoters by almost 80% and the closest competitor increases their promoters by almost 100%, it is another thing of concern also.

what we  need to be thankful here is the claimant that finally going to his senses and accept that he had lost this fight and stops looking for reason to get back his money because this will never happen.
sad that this needs to happen but in the end this will make Him a better person dealing in gambling in the future.

The probelm is why the gamblers have to pay a price to understand that they do not have to play at 1xbit or any other gambling site which has a bad negative feedback. Why can't the gamblers check the site trust level and gambler's feedback before depositing at such sites ?
One excuse can be that they did not find any feedback for 1xbit but the solution is simple that if we search about the 1xbit feedback on the google, we will come to this thread and by reading the posts here, we will never be playing in this scam site.

Anyways, 1xbit scam is still being active even though every one of us has tried to warn the gamblers to avoid this site, but then again after a few days we see someone new being scammed and then complaining on this thread. There may be still many others, who never come here to tell us their story.
The reason why most newbies jump into casinos to and begin to gamble without making researches is the misconceptions they have a out this forum. It is not many people know that scam is not regulated in this forum. Many of them see here as safe haven having known that here ks well organised and maybe the oldest crypto group created by Satoshi. They must have thought that any here is genuine.

Well, normally I don't post constantly in this thread, but from time to time I do because I think it's necessary to always remind people that this casino is a very scam casino. Unfortunately, even with many scam accusations against them on the internet, casino review sites still haven't blacklisted this casino, probably because they are being paid by the casinos. for example that I saw these days and that I remembered today:

There was actually when I wanted the discussion in this thread to discontinue since 1xbit is no longer promoting in this forum. But I was reminded that if they aren't promoting here doesn't mean they have taken down their website. That they are still scamming, here should be an avenue to let people know
