1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 5 Coins to buy - good selection? on: Today at 02:50:50 PM
I finally made my investment 25% glmr, 25% rndr, 25% near and 25% shiba without any Solana

It's your money, therefore it's your investment choice, as you've decided to give them equal staking shows that you perhaps have the same trust ratings for all of them. Although I wonder why Solana, didn't make your list, I might be wrong but I think that it's the most reputable crypto coin among the ones that you listed in the OP. I hope that you have Bitcoin investment, if not, you can use a reasonable percentage of your capital to buy it as we're entering bull season, it's the surest crypto that you can rely on.

Knowledge is power and the informed individuals makes better decisions than ignorant people, so those who panic and sale their Bitcoin, when there's a crisis anywhere in the world and it affects price, are just ignorant of how Bitcoin works. Any investor that has the knowledge of bull and bear seasons in Bitcoin, will not worry when it's price begins to dip, instead they'll see it as an opportunity to accumulate more, if they have the money, because price will eventually have a correction and pump will begin. The best mindset for anybody that wants to invest in Bitcoin, is to think long term, not to worry about price volatility and speculations on the short term, because from research bull run will surely come and price will always reach new ATH.

I feel very sad anytime that I hear about any supposed developed countries that are supposed to be practicing true democracy, going against somethings that defines what democracy should be. It's only in countries where they have dictators as leaders and in third world countries, that we see things like oppression of freedom of speech as normal, not developed countries that people in these oppressed countries will use as reference for respect of human rights and freedom of speech. So now people in Canada, will likely not openly criticize their government, if they see what they don't like, and I wonder if their media will be allowed to air their views without fear of offending the leadership of their government. The development is very disappointing
4  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can a newbie make investment before learning? on: Today at 10:25:00 AM
As on my own opinion alot of newbies have fallen in to hand of scammers because of their insufficient knowledge about Bitcoin so therefore it take a high risk to make an investment when you yet to understand the Bitcoin investment to avoid been scammed of your hard earnings
Take your time learn and implement before you inter market or make any investment as a newbie
You asked a question in the subject and you answered it in the content, I think that you should've either concentrated on a question topic or an advisory topic.

Anyways, going into any investments without first learning atleast the basics of the business will be a very big mistake, whether it's crypto or not, because you can make avoidable mistakes that will cost you so many loses. Many newbies come into the crypto space seeking to make quick money, and they're introduced to shitcoins by either hypes on social media or by ignorant friends, in the end they'll lose all their investment funds, then they'll say that the crypto space is a total scam. Even investment in Bitcoin that is the most reputable cryptocurrency, you still need to understand basic things like the volatile market and know how to protect your wallet seed phrase.
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in stocks with crypto? on: Today at 09:44:46 AM
Is there a way to invest directly in stocks with crypto? I'm talking about depositing BTC or any altcoin in a broker/exchange and use the funds to buy a stock of your choice. With crypto getting popular each day, it would be disappointing if we didn't have such a feature. It's likely stocks will be tokenized on the Blockchain the future.

If you know of any broker/service/exchange that allows this, please let me know. Thanks. Smiley
As for your query, what difference does that make? After all, if you deposit your Bitcoin in such a regard, it's not that they will credit you in Bitcoin, they will rather credit you in USD and other hard currencies. Why not use your fiat when you can easily convert your Bitcoin to fiat yourself?  Also, I advise you that you should not due to looking for such a service and become a victim of a fraudulent service, be warned. And if you must do a thing like this, you might want to use one of the good traditional FX brokers offering stock services too, the common ones like HFM. Just know the cost and weigh your risk.
I reason with what you said, if investing in stocks with crypto is a viable option or will be a profitable venture, I believe that some crypto developers would have created something for it, so I guess that it's not a very good business reasoning and that is why something like that is not popular yet. I'll rather use fiat to buy stock through a certified stockbroker, to avoid being a victim of scammers, then I'll just go on and hodl my Bitcoin, as we're entering bull run.

I reason your question, and I believe say di reason wey many people take de buy dis memecoins wey you de call cats and dogs na because of quick profits, many people ready to gamble dem funds for a chance to gain plenty profit on the short term, but di reality be say most of di dev. teams of dos projects na scam dem carry for mind. No be everybody get dat patience to de hodl Bitcoin on di long term, de wait until bull run go come before dem begin to see plenty profit, so na man die once be dem way,  either say make dem profit or lose dem money.

Me personally i no get di risk absorber to buy all dis risky altcoins, na Bitcoin, wey sure pass all of dem and na im I de focus my investment capital on, apart from di baba, na only top altcoins, wey don proof dem reputations na im I fit to take my money buy.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who's responsible for the dead coins? on: May 08, 2024, 03:05:15 PM
I think that developers and investors can be responsible for the death of a coin or token, it just depends on the angle from where the coins meets it's dead end. Most times it's from the developers end, some will have the intention of exit scam before the project is launched in an exchange, the first set of investors, including them will make profit, then when more investors starts to buy,  the project will then die. Other times if a project doesn't live up to it's hype, investors will see it as a shitcoin, and that might be the beginning of the end for it.
9  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: AltCoins hypes re similar to politicians promises during campaigns on: May 08, 2024, 01:03:50 PM
No be lie, similarities de between corrupt minded politicians wey de give fake promises, only to get your vote and support, and scammers wey de create new projects with the aim of scamming investors, dem go hype their projects well well, only to disappear with people hard earned money. Investment in altcoins, de risky and anybody wey wan enter inside suppose get dis fact for dem mind, because most of dem na scam, even if you wan gamble your funds to buy dem, make you atleast know how to research dem. Aldo no be all di whole altcoins be scam, we get top altcoins like Ethereum, BNB and Solana, wey don proof like dem oga wey be Bitcoin say dem de reputable for di crypto market.
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trust bitcoin holders? on: May 08, 2024, 11:43:32 AM
Pretty sure these days, nobody is anti government. Or at least the majority of Bitcoin holders aren’t. If they were they wouldn’t of KYC on exchanges to buy and sell their crypto.

Most of the holders are probably nothing but speculators. They aren’t in it for the advances bitcoin can make for society, they are in it for the monetary gains. Many earlier adopters were different. But these days, everyone is getting into crypto to get rich, not go against the government.
Thanks for this clarification, I believe that most investors that are holding Bitcoin, are just for business purposes, a store of value where they can put their money and believe that on the long run, it'll acrue many times over in ROI. Bitcoin holders can not be anti banks, because they use them to make fiat transactions everyday, most people that hodl Bitcoin will not even like to use it to make payments for purchases, they'll rather use fiat and hodl their Bitcoin. Also Bitcoin, holders in countries where it's not banned can't be anti government, why should they? The only thing that the governments can do is collect tax when they want to convert to fiat through CEX, but then they collect tax on almost every money related transactions.
11  Economy / Economics / Re: The knowledge Economy on: May 08, 2024, 10:52:22 AM
Knowledge economy is not something new, it started from the stone age where individuals and societies that have superior intellects always used it to manipulate and lead those that are average and poor intellectually, to develop and increase their personal or national economy. Developments and economical advancements have gone through stages and what we have now is advanced technology, like the internet, AI and modern warfare, countries that have these in abundance like the US, China and some western European countries, have very rich economies, unlike a continent like Africa, that is still backwards with leaders that are not proactive.
12  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will the real bull run begin? on: May 08, 2024, 08:57:02 AM

I will continue to hold as I feel we are only months away from the real bull run but it is testing my patience lately waiting month after month for some real price action.

How is everyone else feeling?
Nobody can pinpoint a perticular date when the upward trend will start that Bitcoin will continually be bullish till it reaches it's peak, the only thing we can do is just to speculate price, because it's a volatile market. There's a reason why Bitcoin is long term investment, so patience is a virtue while holding it, although nobody can stop the holder from selling at anytime, but it's worth the wait to sale in the peak of bull run to maximize ROI. You've said it that bull run will start in a couple of months, and the history of other bull runs attests to it that after halving it'll happen like that, so I won't worry because the time of harvest is almost at hand.
13  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can divorced couple reunite?? - please share experience on: May 08, 2024, 08:03:52 AM
I don't have experience of divorce, neither have a withnessed a divorced couple that came back together as husband and wife again, but I believe that it's possible, because marriage should be by choice. I think that it'll be very rare for divorced couples to reunite and marry again, even if they later realize that it was a mistake for them to go their separate ways, they'll still move on because of their pride, and they'll hope to meet someone better. I don't think that it's a good idea for divorced couples to come back and remarry again, because they might live in fear of offending each other again, to avoid another divorce, and this might remove the excitement in the marriage.
14  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How active can a newbie be daily? on: May 08, 2024, 07:34:00 AM
Merely being active with many posts can not guarantee your growth in the forum, if the posts are of low quality, then it makes no sense, you'd rather do 1 quality post in a day and it's ok. As a newbie, there's no pressure to do any specific number of posts, because you're not yet in a signature campaign, so the focus on newbies should be to learn about Bitcoin and the crypto space to increase their knowledge. Don't let merit to be your primary reason to make posts everyday on the forum, because if it doesn't come as you expect, it can be very frustrating, so focus on learning and posting quality crypto contents and you'll eventually get merit and rank up.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Would you rather invest in MATIC or SOL currently? on: May 08, 2024, 07:00:24 AM
One year ago everybody praised MATIC

One year ago people were contemplating whether Solana, will survive, this is the irony of the crypto market, a developer team can make all the difference, if they're proactive like the Solana team. As it stands today, Solana, is ahead of MATIC, and almost every comments on this thread has attested to that, but MATIC, dev. team can come out strong with new innovations like Solana, and change their naretive, because nobody is talking much about them now.
16  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Arizona moves to repel abortion ban but Trump could make it US wide on: May 07, 2024, 03:59:53 PM

Thanks for correcting this misinformation, the US is a top democratic government, and the definition of democracy is about the voice and wish of the people, therefore insinuating that a president will impose his personal will or religious beliefs in a country like the USA is not possible. I think that the OP is a supporter of Joe Biden, and is campaigning for him, but let's not forget that Donald Trump, was once a US president, so the American people in this forum will answer better if he had tried to push for a notional ban on abortion. I think that Americans are in a better position to choose their next president, one is the current president and the other is the former president, so let them vote who they think will serve them better as the next president.


You obviously don't understand how things work in the United States. Republicans have already made abortion illegal in many US states, and stopped all doctors nationwide from using the abortion pill for several weeks while they fought in court.

I clearly don't understand how things work in united states, and as it regards abortion laws, if Donald trump's, administration was anti abortion, the present Joe Biden, administration is pro abortion, then I think it's a good thing that we're in an election year, so let the American people vote for what they want.

I based what I said about misinformation on the report that Donald Trump, said that it's states that'll determine whether they'll allow abortions in their states or not, if he actually said that, then if any states outlaws abortion, it has nothing to do with the federal government. I think that even if abortion is banned in any states, there should be clause that'll covers rape cases.

E get one book wey I read SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE by Stephen Covey, di book really relate to dis topic. Habit 1, begin with the end in mind, e talk about beginning with envisioning di goal wey you wan achieve, na im go give you di energy and motivation to achieve am. Habit 2, first things first, meaning say you need to go through di process to achieve that goal.

Aldo sometimes di mind go de willing to delay collecting gratification or ROI, but e get problem like health issues wey fit to hit person, wey im no go get a better option but to prematurely sale im Bitcoin before di planned time. But person wey get a steady source of income, wey sale im investment to buy luxury items or trow party wey no be di original goal of di investment, dat person de indiscipline and im fit no make am for life, because im no de financially effective.
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most "Memecoins" are not even coins, most "Memecoins" are tokens on: May 07, 2024, 02:15:27 PM

And today, most "Memecoins" are not even coins, most "Memecoins" are tokens. Keep in mind when investing.
The term "meme coins" has been used by many investors and became popular hence, it was called meme coins, but you're right.
Meme coins doesn't have it's own blockchain "EXCEPT" Dogecoin that has it's own blockchain already, and Shiba Inu is the next on the list (based on a quick google search).

I think that the genesis of all cryptos in the meme category being called memecoins could be because the first meme, being dogecoin, is a coin, so the name became a catch for others in the meme category, whether it's a coin or token. I guess what matters to memecoins investors is making quick profits whether it's a coin or token doesn't really matter.

I think that Shiba Inu, is next in line like you said, to become a coin like doge, they're planning to launch their own Blockchain, which is a good innovation by their dev. team. There's a thread about it on this forum.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5495467.msg64042641#msg64042641
19  Economy / Economics / Re: Take care of your money and learn to save. on: May 07, 2024, 12:18:13 PM
Nothing lasts for ever and any young person that understands this will know that money in your hands can finish, therefore it's very important to plan for old age when you're not able to work to earn more money. So the importance of savings and investments when the money is pouring in can not be overwhelmed, a person that spends all that they earn will become a dependent or a destitute in old age, when they're too weak to work.

Although with the rate of poverty in most underdeveloped countries, the concept of savings and investments is a mirage to them, because when you don't even earn enough money to eat a decent meal, how will you be talking about savings, not to mention investment. What I'm saying will sound like fiction to people in developed countries and the rich in impoverished countries, but the truth is that there many people in this poor countries, who are just hopelessness, they don't even remember that there's a future.
