1  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Opportunity come but once. on: May 14, 2024, 11:33:13 PM
Greetings my fellow Naija LB users, I brought this topic to seek for good advice from this forum so that I will not miss it in life because, I keep hearing this statement that opportunity come but once but I don't know if my opportunity has come through this plan on ground. I came out from a popular community in my state where we use to do memorial burial every 4 years to honor our late father and, to  troll a big party that will make the childrens, youths, chiefs, Royal highness, government officials and politicians to be on ground on that memorial burial to join us to honor our super Hiro and, we use to entertain everyone in that burial with different foods and different drinks. We the children of my late father, we use to contributed #200,000 each in every 4 years to carry out the burial memorial activities and we are 5 in numbers that are alive which the total amount of money we used to spend for the burial is #1,000,000, and we have concluded to increase the money to #500,000 each since the price of commodities has increased higher in the country. And the burial memorial is coming up December 10th 2024 to make it 4 years and we have contributed #1,500,000 to finance the burial and they appointed me to hold the money till December 1st before the family will begin to use the money for the burial, and the money will be send to my account this month end. And I like BTC investment, I feel like investing the money in BTC since it will take like 9 months before they will demand for the money for the burial and, it look like my opportunity has come. Is it an opportunity for me to blow? Or my opportunity has not yet come? What is your advice to me on this.
This is a very serious temptation my dear. The recent momentum in Bitcoin is pointing to the fact that the next bull run will be massive and if you take this chance, that might earn you more than $2k if everything goes right.

But if you ask me, I will say you should follow my first rule of investment... never invest what you cannot afford to loose because nothing is guaranteed. Even though we are optimistic that next year will be great for Bitcoin, we are not sure how things will pan out. The bull run can linger until 2025 thereby putting you at the risk of damaging your reputation. So, I will advise you to weigh the advantages and disadvantages.

Unless perhaps you are credit worthy in the sense that you can source for the funds by the time it is needed should anything go south. Else, I will advise you to apply DCA to build your Bitcoin portfolio.



You are very correct, this is not just a temptation but a very big one and again I won't call this is an opportunity. This saying that opportunity come but once is somehow not true or correct to me, I will like it to be put this way " a particular opportunity come but once" reason Because that particular opportunity you missed will or may never come again but opportunities will still come but in different dimension or way. Just like I said using the money to invest is not a bad idea but the question is, can you replace it back before then if the investment goes wrong Because no one knows if BTC will actually skyrocket before December, we only predict and keep hoping.

Using the money to invest in BTC is not a bad idea but what is not funny about it is that, what if the money didn't yield profit and peraventure BTC depreciate what will you tell them when the time comes. However, if you have replacement or you are sure of replacement before then, using it wouldn't be a big deal, who knows if you will earn X2 of what you invested with before that December but if you don't have replacement I will suggest you forget about investment after all it's not your own money and again who knows if they are just testing you.

New beginners to cryptocurrency trading are often thrown by the complexities of the market. It's crucial for beginners to start with thorough research and education, utilizing reliable resources and seeking guidance from experienced traders. Secondly, practicing with demo accounts can help build confidence and refine trading strategies before committing real funds. Another important tip is that if you spend money, then only a small percentage of your earnings, which is not critical for you to lose.

Yes you are right is meant for a newbie to go deep down practice, practice make perfect, before any engagement at least to have a little idea of crypto currency trading and also make a difference research of that crypto currency.

Back then alot of folks had the mindset that Bitcoin going to hit $100k pretty fast but base on how things going I don't think so ,but that don't mean it ain't gonna surpass $100k. I'm actually making this post to encourage others to keep accumulating and not to sell their holdings too early.

Everybody just Dey talk about bull run, but nobody knows when the bull run will start, e fit no be now, make you no invest finish make hunger no wan kill u.

As a humans most of us are usually impatient, we just want it to happen now now .
Na d reason why plenty people Dey fall for scam be that, they are really desperate to make money, dem Dey reason say bitcoin na get rich quick scheme. If dem come invest in bitcoin, and Wetin dem put for mind Dey different from Wetin Dey happen for market, instead of making money dem Dey lose money. If person introduce people like dis to platform wey dem fit invest, and dem go promise them high reward with no risk for short period of time, most of dem Dey fall for am and last last Dey will be scammed, Dey go come Dey blame bitcoin for mistake wey dem make.


I agreed with you some people don' dey rush to market there coin very soon Bitcoin we still stand(wake) again, waiting I go say na make ona hold small

6  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: 3 things to know before investing in Bitcoin on: May 09, 2024, 05:08:55 PM
You are absolutely correct you can't just jump into a business that you don't even know the risk(strategy and analysis) all about I think this is the most important thing to know before going into a business, some people involved themselves just because others are using it to make profit and they only think is so easy to know.
7  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Bet no gree pay , I think that's a Mistry behind gambling bet. on: May 09, 2024, 01:05:10 PM
Hello my people make ona observe me very well about this topic if you check very well that's something behind bet, that you will even be afraid of taking the winning team and take the losing team at the end you will be regretting had I know, that's why I'm saying there's something strange about all this gambling{bet} even if you try to predict three games about 2 we cut only 1 will play which kind of thing be that one and before you go even win you go Don loss like 20k the day you go win na only 7k who come lose?
8  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Which country is wiser? on: May 09, 2024, 12:49:35 PM
Indian is wiser, since everything relating to crypto exchange has been blocked for Nigeria to access through their website, but the app can still work in the country. Has there been any negative effect on the exchanges due to that? I will say no, but if they took the part that India did, by now those exchanges, as you have highlighted, would have come back looking for means to resolve and licence their platform to operate legally in the country.
 
Currently, what they did was just stop the web from working, but the app people have been trading on the exchanges without having any issues. Only those who are desktop users are the ones facing those issues, which they can still easily overcome by making use of VPN or by easily getting a mobile device just for the purpose of trading. Their is a speculating around X, a user who is also said to be a Nigerian trader lost over $1,000,000,000 on Binance future trading due to a lack of risk management.
 
Nigerians are still actively trading. The government is tackling this issue in the wrong direction; if they follow this with due legal process, they will enjoy and see what they are fighting for.


Yes as for me India is more wiser, in the check of everything Nigeria is not moving forward at all why didn't they just bound gambling bet, instead of crypto currency exchange, i speak because this is what is affecting most of our youth in this country, majority of them rely only on bet, some of them even sell there property because of gambling bet.
9  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Possibly way to start engaging in the Local board that might interest you on: May 09, 2024, 12:36:36 PM
Yes indeed you are absolutely right my opinion goes this way that a newbie in this forum should be fully engaged making sure that there post and reply should be appropriate, and some other things that may interest you is when you start up with a plan of making a allot of post that will enable you to earn merit.
10  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: A move for crypto regulations in Nigeria on: May 07, 2024, 09:51:35 PM
Well, just like what Biodum said you can't destroy what you do not create which is very correct. I just hope the Government come up with a better decisions about this whole thing because it's no longer funny. I also hope and I wish this will be the first time the youth will ever say something good about Government if their decision will favour us ( the youth).
11  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Crypto is really helping on: May 07, 2024, 09:25:51 PM
Ona good day ooo. Sometimes I dey wonder waiting this world or this country for look like if crypto been no dey because the rate of hardship in this country is too much and waiting dey cause some of this hardship na selfishness and man know man which most people call tribalism. Imagine where pesin go commot go look for work pesin wey dey in charge go tell you say no vacancy or chance for you mean while there is vacancy and you are qualified for the task but because you are not from same place with them, they will deprived you of the opportunity. Now, those vacancy, chance or slot they use to buy it and the people wey dey buy am na the big men, so times dey go buy slot keep for pesin wey no dey qualify for the job or dey go buy am keep for pesin wey never graduate from school. All these things dey very annoying, in fact e dey discouraging but I go advice everyone to keep pushing one day e go turn around for your good.

This is one of the main reasons why Naija no dey develop. This has seriously affected all part of the country. Imagine when contract are awarded to incapable people just because they know one or two political person. Employment are not mostly done on merit basis rather that man know man. Almost all session of the country has fallen for this type of corruption. Things can only turn better if this can be adjusted especially from our leaders.

Na waiting eye dey see people oo for this country wey we dey so and na because of this thing wey the slogan "school na scam" take come out. How person go struggle for like 3-7 years for school depending on your course sha, you come graduate come dey look for opportunity, e no really make sense na. I dey always thank God for crypto oo, just like waiting I talk for my previous post. If person go fit see the amount of corruption wey crypto don prevent for this country  Nigeria to be precise, you go marvel.

Crypto na the only thing wey don give most people hope for this country because right now whether you be graduate or you no be graduate crypto dey very open for everybody and e don make most youth de so independent of the Government because on how you dey with your smart phone, you no need too worry yourself again because crypto dey. Though even with this bad Government some people grace too strong na waiting make even without tribalism they still dey get work and them dey run am together with crypto.
12  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Reason why most people don't grow, improve etc on: May 07, 2024, 08:50:35 PM
Lack of passion is what one need to have on whatever he is doing either in business, in learning or working. If you have the passion and zeal on that you are into, you will be focus which will lead to growth because you will use your whole mind with joy and happiness to do it, and bring out the best in you, which will lead to success. If you want to grow in the forum, have the passion and zeal to know everything and information on bitcoin

Lack of courage and motivation is also a factor. There are some people who needs to look up to others before they can become serious in whatever they are doing. Having a role model, or someone that motivates you in what your are doing is very important. If you are into business, you need to have someone that is already successful or knows more than you in that field for advice and to also encourage, and motivate your in growing.



Sorry I don't understand what you mean by " lack of passion is what one need to have on whatever he is doing either business, in learning or work."  Lack of passion can be among why most people don't grow or improve but you saying is what one need to have is what I don't really get, maybe you should check your reply and make some possible correction.


I think all these falls under knowledge and understanding because if you don't have knowledge and understanding I wonder how you  will be courageous and motivated to do something. Let's say you are given this equation 2x + 1=0, find x, so tell how will you be motivated or how much courage will you have to explain to people about this but when you have the knowledge and understanding you can boldly stand before people and explain, that's why knowledge and understanding is the principle thing one ought to have in order to grow and improve.
13  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Reason why most people don't grow, improve etc on: May 07, 2024, 08:29:28 PM
Bro wetin you talk here no be lie, knowledge and understanding na two different things wey most people no know, them no know say understanding dy deeper than knowledge, I say so because just as the op dy so, their are so many people wey know him in person, but na only very few go understand am, that implies to skill or job also, you fit know about crypto very well, but you fit no get the required understanding on how to navigate your way around it.

Lastly, back to the topic of discussion, those two things mentioned by the op on why people no dy grow dy very much valid no doubt, but him fail to add procrastination and lack of finance,  procrastination na a major killers of destiny, most people wey dy endowed with enough knowledge and understanding wey still remain for a level na two things fit limit such a person,  which is;

* Procrastination.
* Lack of finance

Those two things have the power to limit person more than anything else, so if you can conquer this two things above, you will definitely succeed or progress as long as you get the required knowledge and understanding in what ever job or craft you are into.


Your contribution to my post mean say you understand waiting I cap for my post and those things wey you say e dey make business no grow na true. Procrastination na very big problem ooo, no be only for business even outside business. Dey go give assignment, make I just say today to be submitted on next week Monday, no be say I no go fit do am oo but I go just dey talk I go do am tomorrow that tomorrow go come pass and I go say I go tomorrow again and e go come pass again and no be say I dey even do serious something wey dey make me no do am but na just that strength to take start be the problem. Na a day to submission date or that submission day I go come dey run up and down on how to do am for something wey I for don do since ooo. Na so e dey for business, person products or goods go remain small make e finish and customer go come to buy product or goods and e no go dey instead of the person to just comot go buy new ones he/she go just dey say tomorrow i go, go buy am and that tomorrow go reach she go talk same thing again and e get where e go reach those customer no go dey go come patronize the person again.

This thing dey kill business well well and even for this forum too e dey worry some people well well, just to come online read threads wey go help you grow for this place you go just dey, dey do nothing and those people wey dey into signature campaign etc, just to come online and complete your post dey go dey talk tomorrow tomorrow till e reach the deadline. If you be business woman or man here, as you dey read the post try adjust make e no for hinder your growth.
14  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Guide on how to invest in bitcoin and altcoins on: May 07, 2024, 01:42:20 AM
Wetin I wan tell our people for naija is that make we dey try to educate our people well for bitcoin and anytime you are bringing your brothers and cousins and siblings for bitcoin investment try to guide your people first, many people is calling bitcoin names because they did not obtain a well processed information before they entered into bitcoin investment. The following are the steps we need to adhere before we invest with bitcoin.

● Check the marketcap first before you invest for bitcoin
● lnvest when you know is on the bearish season
● Do not invest because other people dey invest
● Invest what you can afford to lose
● Have a target when you invest, weda you are investing for short-term or long-term
● Do not be discouraged by anyone when you want to invest
● Make a proper research before you invest bitcoin
● Do not fail to observe or learn how to interpret movement of candlesticks before you invest
● Don't panic when market is against you
● Store your bitcoin on non custodian wallet
● Don't Store your bitcoin on exchange wallet
● Have a timing in every of your investment
● Don't be greedy after you have make at least 5x to 10x for your investment


FOR ALTCOINS INVESTMENT, YOU NEED TO OBSERVE VERY WELL BEFORE  ENTER ALTCOINS  INVESTMENT,  YOU SEY ALTCOINS SOME OF THEM DEY DIE OFF AFTER DEY DON LAUNCH THEM...MAKE THIS WEY TO INVEST IN ALTCOINS

● Never rush to invest in altcoins before you invest
● Make sure you make a good research wey make sense for any of d altcoins you wan invest
● Some of the altcoins lacks potential but fish out they ones wey no get potential out and invest on the one wey get potential
● Know say altcoins investment is very risky than bitcoin investment
● Diversify your portfolio for altcoins investment

If you have anything you wan add for the wey we go dey follow to invest for our cryptocurrency bitcoin and altcoins please add up.


Almost all the things you mentioned is correct and they are suppose to be put into consideration or dealt with before going for any investment. You said something about altcoin without potential and ones with potential, if I may ask how will one know the alt that has great potential because if this you said is possible or true I don't think people will be making loss.

However,  this diversifying of portfolio, like I said in my previous post I don't think is something we should do everytime because sometimes it bring about regret and sometimes it bring joy. Making research about a particular alt is good before investing but investing after researching is just like prediction you are not sure because anything can happen and NOTE thorough research doesn't guarantee that one must make profit rather it will help you not to be inside loss.
15  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: A very good speech concerning Cryptocurrency. on: May 07, 2024, 01:12:12 AM
This is really a nice comment or suggestion from Biodum Olujimi. I wonder how someone will want to destroy what he/she didn't creat, I don't still know why the Government is being selfish over everything. Sometimes,  I wonder if they think about the happiness of the youth and the country at large. If they should tell you the amount of corruption this crypto has prevented you will marvel. I just hope they consider Biodum suggestion
16  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: 3 things to know before investing in Bitcoin on: May 07, 2024, 12:55:14 AM
Though your writing isn't bad, but when I saw this post, I initially thought of something more robust, something more easier to understand to a newbie or a total novice, but like this, it will be quite difficult for a novice to understand perfectly well what you are trying to say, because most novice and newbies don't even know what is mining, so to me, the information you are trying to send out is not that clear.

So too me, if am advicing anyone on this your topic here, which is three things to know before investing in Bitcoin. it would;

* Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme: you can't just invest in Bitcoin and expect to be a millionaire overnight just as most newbies think.

* Bitcoin investment is not a risk free investment: most people think that once they invest in Bitcoin they are sure of a return, no, it's actually risky just as every investment out there, due to it volatility.

* We should always store it in a self custodian wallet: this is one of the most important thing to know before investing in Bitcoin, so you wouldn't lose your asset.




I agree with you mate but I will like to add small thing,
 most people just enter into investment in bitcoin regardless and it's not good. One of the thing to note before investing in bitcoin is that:
1. Bitcoin is a long term investment: most people invest and start hoping for profit immediately after investment though it can actually be short term investment depending on the behavior of it but normally, Bitcoin is a long term investment.
17  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: AltCoins hypes re similar to politicians promises during campaigns on: May 07, 2024, 12:26:17 AM
AltCoins are like the media being hijacked by the by the government.
They acts like the politicians with their unfulfill able promises during campaigns. They just go about spreading what the people needed to hear because they knows the truth would always be bittered and discouraging.
A lot of Investors has fallen in the pit of dump coins due to greeds and desperacies of chasing all that contents being hyped about somany Alt and Meme Coins which has been dumped and nowhere to be found in the market trends anymore and more investors are still falling victim as much as the hyping of these coins stays active.

When would people find reputation in uniqueness that keeps an integrity without having those campaign structures of hyping like the AltCoins and the bitcoin?
While bitcoin being the first crypto currency which has never fluctuated from its fundamental potentials right from the origin of development, it has seems so great, resourceful with reputabilities and yet some investors tends to hover over in investing on the other coins that likely to emulate their potentials from the king of the crypto currencies known to be BITCOIN.
AltCoins are conic cryptocurrencies while bitcoin is a reputable Cryptocurrency but the desperacies and those with the ignorance of knowledge would never get it right untill they gets to the bottom of regrets.

I like this illustration you use about altcoin behaving like politicians and of a truth that's how they are. Most politicians will come in sheep clothing mean while they are agent of darkness and destruction and that is how most altcoin is, they will appear in a way that they will give this positive impression about them mean while it's just a prank,  though most politicians use to deliver I mean fulfill some of their promises likewise to altcoin most of them also use to do well to an extent.

Talking about falling victim of alt and meme, for me I don't think it's actually greed or desperation though most people do it out of desperation and greed while some people fall victim because of wrong analysis and emotion. There are some coin you will see because of how they appear or look you will be so eager to invest in them.
18  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Useful information for Nigerian newbies on: May 07, 2024, 12:00:30 AM
I have a questions? what are the things newbies should do to earn more merit, and what is the advantages of merit, also and also what should encourage the newbies to get more post.we are new in the forum so we still need, some guide so that we can meet up with our daily post.


This has always been the center of interest ( how to earn merit) of many newbie but I actually do not blame most of them sha because I was once like them and I once ask this question. However,  there are several advantages of merit and they include:

1. It help one enter another position
2. It gives one access to some task ( joining of projects ) etc.
You earning merit means you understand or you are beginning to understand the forum.

I think what will encourage newbie to post is because of activity. Your activity counts as you are making posts and if you don't get the number of activity require for a member even if your merit is enough to take you to
that membership level you won't be given that position or title unless you get the number of activity required. But I always advise newbie not to post with the intention to earn merit because it doesn't work that way, merit will come when you least expect it, that is how funny it can be sometimes. In summary make sure you go through posts thoroughly and carefully so as to understand the forum very well because the moment you understand the forum every other thing becomes easy for you.
