1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Perfect strategy to get rich with casinos on: August 08, 2026, 04:46:08 PM
The casino should make it clearer that casino is only for entertainment, not to earn quick money nor an income and get rich.
Casinos will never do this. Gamblers are trying their best to make money from casinos, and casinos are also trying to make money from gamblers too. If casinos should focus more on giving awareness to gamblers to play responsibly and to let gamblers know that the casino is not a place to make quick money, most casinos could go bankrupt.

Gambling is a business, and casinos won't make any awareness or promotions that can slow the business. The reasons for tournaments and offers are just to attract more customers.
Casinos can say,  gamblers should gamble responsibly, but what I have not seen nor heard before is that casinos come plain to open up to gamblers that gambling is just for entertainment, is that not funny and who can do such to his business, casinos are established for profit making, but at the same time they are not persuading anyone to gamble, there are gamblers that gamble for fun, it was not casinos that told them that, rather it was their decision to take that part.
I don't know if what this means is for, casinos to babysit some gamblers and after that casinos I will end up not actualizing the purpose of their business just because some gamblers thinks that it is their right for things like this to be spelt out for them, are we not going too far with such exceptions from casinos.

I have carefully examined what Michael Saylor and his group of whales are doing and I came to the conclusion that their plan is to lure retail investors into selling their Bitcoin so that they will systematically buy they up so that the global wealth distribution will continue to be in under the control of the 1%. Bitcoin came and changed the equation, giving everyone equal opportunities and I noticed they are not comfortable with this and that so there is no way they are going to ignore this so they have to respond through this way. People may call this conspiracy theory but it will so happen that most of the Bitcoin will end up in the wallets of the rich.
I think your really got this, and people are falling into their shit trap, these guys has a way of manipulating the market to put fear in the minds of investors to force them in making regrettable mistake of selling under pressure, the only way all Bitcoin will end in the wallet of the rich according to what you said is when smaller investor fail to think beyond the dip, people just continue to complain which is what sailor and friends wants, because they know that next decision for those that feels that it is the end of the road for Bitcoin is to sell out and the question is who buys them at the end, I keep thinking about this, smaller investor should be wise and stop being hasty in making decisions.

I don't think AI is the problem, although it's definitely going to make some people lose their jobs, but it's alo going to help other people get new jobs. So I think one thing we need to under is that the world is evolving and wil have to adapt with it. We have to be able to unlearn and re learn new things that is needed to survive in today's world.  AI is definitely improving the lives of a lot of people, because they learn to adapt and use it to their advantage and with the willingness to learn learn new thing, they are really doing better. Most people that complain about AI being the enemy are those that refuse to evolve with the world.
Your points are versed and I think some of your points are valid as such, at least you did acknowledge the fact that Ai is gonna make some people lose their job which is even why most persons are afraid of Ai in the first place, have you thought of someone that offered you a job to run some tasks for him, all of a sudden the person relieved you of your service just because he had a cheap labour from the machine which is Ai, despite how good Ai is, the obvious has to be stated which you did, of course adaption is necessary, but the consequences should not be left behind, people will definitely learn the AI skills, but how many do you think that can be employed since Ai can perform bulky task as fast as possible, even though it is a technology that we have to learn to fit into this digitalized world.

It is true that it can be difficult for average person to use a self custody wallet but I don't think you keeping your coin on exchanges also solve the problem completely
Though you don't have to worry about losing your seed phrase but you will be trusting the exchange to keep your coin safe
Just so you know there have been recent reports of exchanges getting hacked, freezing accounts and even shutting down

So I think it's considering the risk each of them holds and see the one you're more comfortable with and also learn how to manage it
Since we know how Valuable Bitcoin is, I don't expect everyone to make that their Bitcoin is safe, we know that an average user might not find it so easy while making use of self custodian walllet but as someone who knows that how secure his Bitcoin is, will determine whether he will see himself as Bitcoiner or not, such person will be careful on how to secure his wallet by keeping his seed phrase safe, I will not advise anyone to keep their Bitcoin in an exchange, we can use them for p2p and any other minor transactions but as for hodling our bitcoin, that should not be option for us, I'm glad you have been able to list the risk that could be associated with that.
5  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why are billionaires buy up lands? on: August 07, 2026, 04:03:17 PM
Not everyone has the perception of buying a land for future use, some people have their money but couldn't afford to secure one because they don't see it as a valuable asset, buying a land is very lucrative and only those with business idea is we have the intention of investing their money into landed properties, a rich man that truly understand what it takes to secure the future will do all it takes to buy land because he has the understanding of seeing it as an ever appreciative assets.
Apart from those with business idea, futuristic minds do not allow the opportunity of buying lands to slide if they have the money to do so, one thing is to have money and another, is to have the foresight on good assets to invest in, landed properties is something that can never be devalued, no matter how long it stays, infact the longers it says, the higher the value, people in the real estate are making huge money everyday because they understand that the population of the world will keep expanding, new cities will continue to emerge which they are will likely be the ones that will sell the lands to build those cities or build it themselves and sell them to make huge money, I think the best thing anyone can do is to buy lands if the funds is available because it will definitely be profitable in the future.

6  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: We should learn about bitcoin before accepting it as payment on: August 07, 2026, 03:33:49 PM
I don't think the issue is learning Bitcoin. I believe the shop owner knows what he is doing. So i pay for something. And I was supposed to get it that minute. Just because inflation hit that moment I should add extra money. Looks like me and you will enter the same trouser.
I think that is a sharp practice by the shop owner and because the guy did not react, he feels he has succeeded and I believe he will still do the same to another person if he is not called to order, I do not also believe that someone that has adopted bitcon as a mode of payment in his shop will be daft, bitcon is not like other means of payment, and I think before anyone decides to adopt it to that level, such person should not be seen as a novice, I have read many reply here but i do not agree that the shop owner has no knowledge that Bitcoin is a volatile asset that drops and rise at any given time, or is someone trying to tell me that the shop guy is just receiving Bitcoin for the first time, although the guy that made that payment just wanted peace nothing more.
7  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Should Bitcoin Inheritance Be Share Among Your Obedient Child and Stubborn Ones? on: August 07, 2026, 03:13:18 PM
They are all my children, I do not think I will deprive any of them anything just because some of them are rebellious and stubborn, whether it is Bitcoin asset or any other asset I will share it equal so that if any of them decides to useless theirs in the future or anytime, that will be a personal burden on onself, I understand what it means for people to be excluded from what they are supposed to be part of, we are talking about will here, unless I decide to give the stubborn ones something that is worth the Bitcoin asset I gave the the cool headed one to balance everything, if I can't handle it that way, it means that, I will have to share it equal because I do not want anything that will bring any problem in my family when I'm no more here, and everything has to be legally documented to avoid any problem coming up later.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The positive sides of gambling people often don't talk about on: August 07, 2026, 12:56:12 PM
Gambling is not entirely bad, and while some individuals are criticizing it, there is also a different reason people are appreciating gambling, and I equally believe if every gambler are responsible no one will also criticize gambling, but when people gamble with huge amount of money, and they loose, you will definitely hear the noise, and also when people hear someone has made a life changing win, they would wish it would have been them.
Gambling can actually create job opportunities, and revenues for countries, and individuals. For instance, country like England, they generate huge amount of money from sports, and gambling making sports a major source of their income.
Saying that gambing is not entirely bad makes it look like gambling is bad to some extent, I do not see anything bad about gambling, some gamblers are the reason why it is been viewed in that way, the majority of those that are addicted are the cause of their addiction and I believe that addiction is the major problem in gambling, but if you read meaning into this, you will understand that gambling is not actually the cause, it is because some set of gamblers refused to face the reality and gamble appropriately, I have snee many responsible gamblers and I see myself as one which is why when I see anyone trying to say something's that are not right about gambling, i see it as misconception coming from what they have heard about those gambling as if their life depends on it.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026 on: August 06, 2026, 04:06:57 PM
We shall not judge them from the pre-season matches because we have seen this kind of play in other tournaments and in the main matches those teams that were not doing well beat even superior teams so I see Chelsea is just playing for fun and testing the other teams strength. And I believed Chelsea will do well in the main season matches though I don't think they will be at the top. Though they would having some wins and draws but we should not give up on them yet.
You are right about your very first statement, but let it be that they are just playing around because it won't be funny if the same is been replicated when the league football start officially, just as you rightly said, preseason is nothing to be serious with, but you know that kind of emotion that runs through fans, irrespective how preseason is, and how friendly some of us see it, there are fans that do not understand it that way, we have also seen teams performance exactly as they did in preseason, but I do not think think that Chelsea will be like that, Xabi is a good manager and I'm sure that he is taking note of changes that should be made when the league football resume.
10  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: CAN NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT EVERLY PAY FEDERAL WORKERS WEEKLY? on: August 06, 2026, 03:26:13 PM
I don't the mindset set of other youths out there, Nigeria could have be a better a place if the wages should be done on a weekly basis, if those that are contesting for president in Nigeria come 2027 have the ambition of changing Nigeria to a better place, at least if they should start from there, for us to see changes, not everytime promises will still end up being an empty promises, so if there is any federal government workers out there, i will advice that you should engage on investing in Bitcoin and any other business to keep going because a successful one doesn't only depend only on one resource.
Maybe some other persons have ask the question am about to ask, do you think that there could be positive changes, if our constitution is reviewed or should I say amended as fast as possible to capture what you just suggested? Nigeria needs overall restructuring and that restructuring does not have to be what you said alone, weekly pay fine, increased workers welfare to match up with the current economic realities being encountered in our country Nigeria more better, creation of employment to handle the high rate of unemployment should also be a good means of fighting poverty in this critical and material time.

Your advice to federal government workers is not a bad one but it would have been better if you had mentioned all categories of Nigeria government worker force, starting from the local government to the federal so that it won't look as if you have a particular section you are looking at, and if the must invest in Bitcoin, it should be with their discreationary income.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can small investors actually make good profit with bitcoin ? on: August 06, 2026, 02:28:10 PM
I do understand that altcoins are more risky than Bitcoin, but I believe it will take a lot more time to get 200% with Bitcoin than with top altcoin.
You sound almost retarded.  You are going to choose some random shitcoin that you consider to be "in the top range" and then hope and pray that it performs better than bitcoin based on some pump expectations?

You have been registered on the forum since January 2018, and so presumptively you have been fucking around with shitcoins and trading since January 2018.
When I read what he said, I was surprised to see that some guys can actually go to any length of taking more risk in something they already know that is very risky, going by what he said, it is not like he is not informed about the risk in those shitty shitty, rather he is just concerned about the time it will take him or her to get the percentage he mentioned if it has to be Bitcoin, but as someone who said he knows the risk involved, the same risk do not matter to him, so it is the profit I guess, whether he loses all he invested in the shits, it will not matter to him, and what do we call that.
So people can be so mean to the extent that they do not care about what could happen to their hard earned money, although the decision is his, however, I'm still in shock because some statements can be unbelievable, BTW, who has pump and dump shit help.
12  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: JJG’s Outline of Bitcoin Investment Ideas on: August 06, 2026, 01:26:45 PM
people forget that the important thing is to have a plan that can be keep repeating for  many years, they only focus on buying bitcoin as much as possible. Putting all your discretionary funds into bitcoin, I don’t see it as sign of seriousness, I only see it as lack of financial management, because you leave nothing for small personal needs or unexpected emergency, that may cause them to sell bitcoin whenever they have financial problems and that goes against the rules of long term investment. but any plan that keep you accumulating bitcoin during good times and bad times is better than one that pushes your limit every month.
Because Bitcoin is a good investment, some people don't mind making a good plan to invest an amount they can afford; they only prefer to invest all the money they have with them. However, in Bitcoin investment, investing all the money one has does not guarantee success.

One must consider uncertainties that can occur, and it is essential to prepare for them. If an emergency arises, there is a greater chance that one might risk their Bitcoin investment by selling to address the situation. Investing all discretionary funds one has does not make someone a good investor; rather, planning how to handle emergencies that can affect one's investment is what makes one a good investor in Bitcoin.
There are decisions investors take, that are caused by ignorance, especially that of the newbies, someone might be serious in acumulating Bitcoin but ignore to follow the the investment properly, I'm glad that many of us are making things very clear for those that think that they are doing the right thing by investing all their discreationary income without considering that they are to have some left to tackle emergencies.
A good investor does not undermine what could hinder him or slow him down, which is why they make a strong plans to match up unforseen circumstances, emergencies are sudden occurrence that must be prepared for, as a bitcoin investor that have decided to hodl for a long-term.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: African Football Discussion Thread Current Topic: 👉 WAFCON 2026⚽⚽. on: August 05, 2026, 03:14:47 PM
I also noticed the lack of much attendance to these games. I mean this is a time where there aren't much competitions from the men's games that some would use as an excuse to not turn up for the women competition but I guess it all boils down to lack of funding and less attention being paid to them. The women's part of football is to me, still in it's baby stage and enough publicity will go a long way for them.
 Today the Super Falcons play Egypt and it will be in their best interests if they don't make the mistakes they did when they met Malawi and Zambia.
Surprised you said, the question is, do people watch women football like that of men no, and that is because it's not been taken serious, i do not think that it because of lack of funding as you hinted rather it is because people don't like to give their time to that.
When you talk about publicity, then question arises from there, who will publicize the women football? Is it supposed to be the men or the women that are to do that? Does that not imply that the women that are suppose to cheer up their genders are not also interested in doing that and what could be the reason for that.
When I checked on flascore, I noticed that there is no odd given to the super falcons, instead 26 odd is given to Egypt to win and 13 odd for both teams to draw, it means that the super falcons are the favorite to win.
14  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Why Nigerians should not depend on the government to survive. on: August 05, 2026, 02:23:11 PM
I know that governance have actually deteriorated under this APC administration but is it really possible for an individual to do without the government? I don’t think so reason being that regardless of an individual decision to proceed without the government any government policy/decision would always have a significant impact on the individual or establishment. Take for example as a business man in Nigeria any goods or services you render is subject to government policies, if there is high custom duties it will invariably affect your importation, if the price of fuel and transportation is high it will also affect your business. Nigerians are doing their best to ensure they meet up ends means themselves since the government have failed and so far some persons are doing well on their slightly but the truth is Nigerians one way or the other can’t do without government interference, the best Nigerians should struggle for currently is how to ensure that only qualified candidates are elected into leadership positions, that way a lot can change in time.
I don't know if you get the point, we are talking about survival not the effect of government policies on ones means of survival right, in this example you gave, you said establishments, meaning that there is an already existing means of survival and I do not think that this thread is for that category, irrespective of how the are been affected by the government dubious taxing shit.
You made good points in regards to what you said but I think you points are of the topic, the topic is more like, why people should see reasons why they should make ways for themselves without putting their hopes on the government for survival, which involves acquiring skills for self improvement and self employment.
Your conclusion is right, for sure good leadership is what will help the country but how do we go about it when the institutions that can perfect all these things are all corrupt?

15  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Investment Become Gambling on: August 05, 2026, 01:44:40 PM
This issue about starting small, I would say  you should allow the beginners to decide if they are going to start small or maybe with a reasonable amount of money that's if they know they can manage the risk. it is true that starting small is better especially for those who are just getting started but some beginners might want to start going big from the start in order to go far before the price of bitcoin goes up. Take for instance those that started thier bitcoin investment in this current dip, if such beginner is aware that there was a time when bitcoin surge to $125k and seeing that the price has drop to $64k or there about, they can decide to be more aggressive in their accumulation journey without even considering the fact that they are new to bitcoin.
The bolded text is absolutely right, but you should know that there are things that delay newbies and I think that trying can convince someone to invest more as time passes by, no matter how it is, newbies are newbies, we should know that, there knowledge is still basic, there are things they still need to know before the can adapt completely to Bitcoin investment, so there is no harm if anyone say that they should start with little amount, maybe along the line, they will increase the amount they are DCAing with when they might have known their way about in Bitcoin investment but at the early time starting small is never a bad idea.


16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Governments Banning Gambling Is Never About the Gambling on: August 05, 2026, 01:05:25 PM
The government always like being in control of anything relating with money and if they can't fully control it they'll find way to make sure that the private sector is not benefiting more. use the case of Bitcoin as instance, they can't destroy it so some place bans and strict policies to discourage people from using it.
All you said here is what the government do and stands for, they are very selfish, some decisions are being enforced if there is nothing  to gain, for the government, it has always been revenue and being in charge of everything, if they are not in charge or if they are not directly gaining, the next will be sanction or permanent ban,  not because it is aimed to benefit the citizens or will I say gamblers rather for their own advantage, if people can put their eye on the ground, they will understand that most of the decision taken by the government in regards to gambling has been for their selfish reasons.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lessons learned while gambling on: August 04, 2026, 03:06:41 PM
Seeking out the very seasoned and experienced gamblers in this forum to use this space as an opportunity to educate the masses and share your two satoshis on the subject of gambling lessons learned.

My two are pretty simple but hard to practice and that is quit while youre ahead. Cash out and slow down once you have won. Take a break and relish the win. The second lesson is to make sure you have established with yourself a budget for the night week month etc etc. And stick to that budget or else you may lose immensely.  Have a plan and keep it!

Your turn....
You see this budgeting, I do not joke with it, athough to practice this in gambling you must be disciplined because sometimes when you exhaust your budget, you might be tempted to deposit more, I think that is when self control and discipline is been needed mostly, but the truth is that if a gambler stick or abide by this strategy, such gambler has been able to help himself from getting addicted, stayjng self and happy while gambling depends on how you apply the roles of gambling, one good thing about budgeting is that, you'll be careful how you use the amount that has been budgeted for the time being because you know that once it finishes before time, you will have to wait for the time to reach for you to budget another.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can small investors actually make good profit with bitcoin ? on: August 04, 2026, 02:08:59 PM
1. Buy Bitcoin immediately with all the money.
I want to understand this statement, are you referring to buying at once which we know that it is not all category of investors that can do that, or are you saying that an investor should buy with all the money they hadlve which is not a good suggestion because it is not adviceable for we to buy bitcoin with all we have left when we have attended to our essential needs, however, I'm sure that you know much about discretionary income, if that is the fund you are referring to, it is ok we can actually buy with it, purchasing Bitcoin outside someone discreationary income, can be risky, of course you know that our discreationary income differs because of how much source of income we have individually, but that is if one can be able to figure it out properly, I need an explanation on what you meant by the subject I bolded.
19  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Don't be scared to start all-over on: August 03, 2026, 02:20:24 PM
My point here is starting all-over is better than staying off completely. It's better to have slow growth than taking no action at all
I'm so sorry for what happened to you bro, although learning with such experience is to harsh but one must learn through whichever way, but the good thing now is that you have learnt your lessons and you cannot fall for such cheap scam again.
I'm glad you understand that it is not a good thing to abandone your dream totally, to be honest what you went through can be devastating, it can even make someone to see the cryptocurrency space as a total scam, of course there are people that have left and never returned because of their bad experience but that is not the best thing to do, I think the best thing is to go for a reliable asset like bitcon, invest gradually and consistently with your discreationary income and hodl for a long-term, giving up is not ideal because it keeps you off from opportunities that would have benefited you in the future.
20  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Low Income Earners Can Also Build A Bitcoin Portfolio on: August 03, 2026, 01:12:28 PM
Everyone cannot invest in thesame capacity, so no matter how small your income is, you can still invest invest in bitcoin.
There is one misconception that some people do have making them not to be able to invest in bitcoin, and that is the feeling that they don't have enough money to acquire Bitcoin, and they equally look down on their little beginning thinking they must buy a whole Bitcoin before they can invest in bitcoin.

There many who own a whole bitcoin that didn't buy them at once, they bought in fractions, and finally arrived at owning a whole Bitcoin, and it was achieved through consistency in their investment, and patience. So even as you start little, consistency through DCA will give you a significant result in the long run.
I agree with your points, some investors do not know that despite how small their discreationary income is, consistency makes it bulky as time goes by.
As a low income earner, as long as you can figure out your discreationary income after meeting up with your basic needs no matter how small it is,m, you are good to go, different investors think that their income should be stable and very reasonable for them to invest in Bitcoin but that is not true, the DCA method has made things simple for us, we can invest little bucks, though it is small, but what matters more is our consistency, personally, I do not think that there is need for any low income earner to look down on what they can conveniently spare out to invest in Bitcoin steadily.
