1  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: why storing trust wallet in a hardware more recommendable than i mobile devices on: April 09, 2024, 02:29:27 AM

   This is because your hardware wallet keeps your private keys safe offline from online risk and threats like hackers, but Trust wallet is more secured mobile crypto wallet .
It is still necessary to follow the wallet security to ensure proper fund security, therefore you have to write down your recovery phrase and attach your passcode to your wallet .

Trust wallet is the best alternative because it gives comprehensive support for different Blockchain and crypto asset .
 
The reason why hardware wallet is better than i mobile phone is that phones will often be stolen, hacked it can be in possession of anyone at any time.
An offline Trezor or Ledger cannot be hacked,it can only be stolen physically .

Offline wallets that is stored in a safe can't be accessed via the internet or WiFi, and that is the only way to hack mobile wallets.

The only fool-proof way of storing password keys is in the brain, which can only be hacked through drugs and hypnosis.
 Memory is capable of making mistakes . Time, sickness, ageing,trauma and disease can erase even the best kept memories.

   Wealth creation in Bitcoin is very technical,any slightest mistake everything, that is your wealth will be gone ,and so there are other necessary measures to take to secure and create your crypto wealth .

* Long-term investment-; Engaging yourself in a long-term investment is very ideal,by  buying little by little and accumulating it for about 5 years -10 years using a DCA strategy method as a long term plan that will not affect your monthly expenses when pulled out using this method has the ability of capitalizing on future growth..

* Short-term -; This has to do with Day trading by buying and selling  cryptocurrencies within the same day to make profit .
* Buying low and Sell high, and apply common sense.
* Arbitrage.
* Use safe storage , research and stick to the fundamentals.
* Stick to the major currencies

Bitcoin create wealth for people because of its value since it is able to be exchanged and used in replacement of Fiat currency .

Telegram is not a safe platform for keeping Bitcoin ,if your Bitcoin is being stored on telegram wallet it is risky because it can be stolen and hacked easily by hackers since telegram is being used for illegal activities which also include drug trafficking and money laundering .

Telegram draws unwanted attention from scammers since they always want to take advantage of members , scammers poses a very big problem in the crypto community   these days, in other for you to avoid them, you need to avoid unknown files and links whenever you get them and don't click on them without carefully checking on them ,also check wallet address before sending .

A fake telegram apps can easily recognize Blockchain address from mere chats and then replace the users address with that of the scammers.

   Gambling has to do with risking the loss of something on a thing that might happen the valuable or money one can lose or gain in a bet having an unknown certainty and way of becoming really showing dislike.

Gambling is risky and it brings about more downside instead of benefits when reached as a way of getting money . Some person's can be having short time success ,one being not able to know the way of gambling shows that trusting on it as a regular source is not wise.

Casino games are formed to give the house a built-in-edge, to cause the chances and sizes of becoming real large amount of money given out, each game you play has a statical possibility .

The study of the mind about gambling is that People tend to lose money during gambling because we play against the odds and the house always have an edge , which means that with time we tend to lose more than win, which we don't really accept this truth.

   Crypto Bitcoin is the toughest asset one can get in this century Bitcoin continue to be as a superior investment over real estate due to its unmatched liquidity that's completely liquid accessibility , transparency ,when you buy Bitcoin,it has a low maintenance, high potential reward , volatile , Bitcoin is both asset and currency , limited supply/inflation hedge , completely portable , Bitcoin is increasingly seen as future money being the forerunner in the space.

Real estate investment need a good capital upfront  and can be less liquid than Bitcoin , making it a long-term commitment , high risk maintenance , it's tried and true means of building , stable and tangible .
10  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is investing in exchange tokens profitable? on: April 04, 2024, 07:39:40 PM

   Investing in tokens are good investment for someone that wants to have a long term investment .
Tokens used to provide a users to use a platform or reward users for their been part in the platform.

Exchange tokens give encouragment for users to use the exchange, and they are also used to reward users for their loyalty. They are often used to fund development and marketing efforts, as well as to provide liquidity to the exchange. The performance of these tokens nevertheless have significant impact on the success of the exchange and how investors perceive the exchange. As such, exchanges operators will monitor the performance of their tokens and take steps to ensure that they remain attractive to users.

There is nothing such as “a good investment”
As long as investment is concerned , all investments either by buying Gold , Investing in Buildings, company, big jets etc.. all come with a particular level of risk(losing some or all your capital) , in fact all investments in its nature is risky , Your concerned shouldn't be whether its good or not but rather the level of risk .

You can start testing the depth of the water by putting in one leg(investing small capital which you are willing to lose ) and see how far it goes.

18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the pros and cons of gold compared to bitcoin? on: April 02, 2024, 08:10:17 PM

      The digital scarcity of Bitcoin makes it worthy and always praised and because it is digital ,it is not influenced or affected to physical wear and tear.

   As we all know Bitcoin is young and not tested and shown to be good as an investment , but speculators in cryptocurrency are using it as store of value also as a limit against correction and recessions.


   Gold is scarce too,but it's total supply can change value frequently because of mining activities and it's very durable which does not gradually destroy or get weakened or degrade over time. For long, Gold has been an asset that keeps value over a long period of time and used as limit against market downturns .

   The reason why Bitcoin is better than gold is because of its operation on decentralized network, which makes sure that no single entity can control or manipulate the currency , which gives it an edge over gold and free from government and centralized authorities.
