1661  Economy / Economics / Re: Agriculture can save your country from recession on: July 10, 2023, 12:19:22 PM
Agriculture plays an important role in the economic side of a country, but unfortunately not everyone can embark on this journey because of political instability, climate change, bad weather or simply the soil isn't just meant to farm in it.
But for those that can, this is a great undertaking...I remember saying a nice quote that read something like a country without a farmer is a hungry nation...which makes sense to some extent as they produce the materials needed for most of our processed foods, or organic foods etc

OP liking your farming journey, is irrigation a possibility were you are to ease amount of work that will be required here?
1662  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: July 10, 2023, 11:22:03 AM
While I agree with all of it, I must say that having some drinks while doing almost anything just makes things better, specially with friends. It enhances the experience, but makes it very easy to spend more than one has planned in the budget.
The drinks might be good for your social well-being but this will make you chemically imbalanced and results in poor judgment and bad decision making...it might also lead to you losing all your money after taking time to build your bankroll as you become fearless  Grin

This is just the basics, but anyone should be aware of it:

Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
Agreed!
They say failing to plan, us planning to fail and this is the path that awaits if you can't plan!

Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.
Many people ignore this...
Rest is very important to allow the mind to reset and one way of doing this is staying away from your usual gambling routines.

Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably.
Drinks and gambling just never go together,  especially  that most decisions require a sober mind...adding this to the mix is giving up your control and guaranteeing yourself to lose whatever money is left.

Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone.
These days people don't share problems unfortunately as this is seen as ones weakness or bad behavior.

Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling? Tongue
Things like winners know when to walk away should be told more....you can not place a 50 dollar bet win $2000 and keep playing ...it's a no for me. You win big today, you call it a day and play some other day !
1663  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What attracted you to gambling?Share your experience whether good/bad. on: July 10, 2023, 07:29:18 AM
Am sorry I don't think am one of those people that would say gambling is attractive, because there is just so much risk involved in this industry and many lives have been destroyed by it and if you aint in it the better for you as you have dodged the bullet!

But if you asked why I gamble, well I would say it's a test of my sporting knowledge,  make some money and putting my money where my mouth is and of course a little fun too..
If anybody out there said they gambled 🎰  for exclusive  fun then they are lying to us and shouldn't be trusted, why would anybody gamble to lose money ?? We all in it to make some profit!

My friends also gambled away a lot of their money, before they won something huge.. so that needs to be subtracted from their winnings to see what their actual profit was. (which they never revealed to me)  Tongue
You and I know that your buddies can't reveal this information to you because they would be chasing their losses if they considered it and it's good they didn't say it either because you would know the ugly side of gambling.
But if you still insist go ahead and ask them, after that a follow up question of why they still gamble when they aren't profitable  Roll Eyes
1664  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is actually a Bitcoin investor on: July 10, 2023, 06:04:58 AM
When someone has a particular wallet which he spends Bitcoins from can he be considered a Bitcoin investor?
Our crypto markets have two kinds of users, the retail user and the big boys aka the whale investors...which means anybody that is using their crypto almost on a daily basis and in small chunks is definitely going to be classified as a retail user and if you buying or selling huge sums of bitcoins then you can be called a whale.

Btw using a particular wallet can not define what kind of  bitcoin user you are unless the amount of coins one hodls!

Or does the term investor refer only to those who hodl Bitcoin?
In some way this could be true...but the whole idea of investing is waiting for value of a coin to grow after a certain period.

Btw when someone talks about an investor in our crypto circles,  usually this should mean they are buying  bitcoins, holding them for a while and when price goes say 5X or 20X whatever the multiplier then the can sell later on.

I would like to take this opportunity and make another suggestion:

Maybe it's me, that I'm a bit of a "perfectionist" in these things. But, I think that the logo, website, info of ANN and sig, are not in harmony.
The site's colors are black and gray, the logo is green, and the sig is blue.
It is true that the buttons on the site are blue, but it seems that everything together does not match.
I have always wanted to ask about this but didn't as I was thinking someone else here has asked about it, but since it's here, am also for the idea of having a matching logo being used here on the forum and on main site to give Sinbad one identity...

And if am to render my opinion on which avatar to go with, this one we use here has grown on me Smiley

I noticed that the signature campaign of Sinbad Mixer intends to increase the number of participating members, and this will almost make it the most mixer signature campaign with the largest number of participants
Definitely it's one of the biggest campaigns at the moment but this increase of participants as a caveat to it and the likely members to easily make it are those from ch*pmixer and a few others with exceptional quality or have a great presence in the boards one is usually found.

1666  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Kids and Bitcoin on: July 09, 2023, 04:58:24 PM
My next Bitcoin awareness approach now are the children, there are many kids in my family and very soon our get-together tradition is approaching, I need your help in this forum if this is possible.
I don't know how well you get along with the kids as their Uncle or something,  but you could reward them with some kind of physical bitcoin which they can redeem anything of their liking from you depending on what good they do..

I remember when I was little, I love reading books that have good pictures on them, like comics and novels painted with amazing pictures, from Peter Pan to DareDevil and Supergirl, while growing up as an adult I ended giving out these comics to my cousins.

My question is where can I buy Bitcoin comic books that can catch the attention of children between the age of 7 to 11? I want something in comic or story book style and with full story about Bitcoin or related... I want to buy and wrap them up for the surprises.

As long as they are growing up having the likes of Batman, superman, superwoman, Iron man and all other superheroes on their radar, I honestly don't see any bitcoin comic that can stir away that intrest from that to bitcoin ...
The only alternative is give them physical medals for some kind of sports reward that can replace those medals and then they can claim superhero figures later on  with that...the idea is to leave a lasting memory that the can use to build their crypto journey on,goodluck.
1667  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The relationship between educational qualification and quality of post. on: July 09, 2023, 01:18:11 PM
Do you think the level of academic qualifications and life experience that a member of forum has, has a direct influence on the quality of post that  he/she makes here on this forum?
Education and experience have a great influence on how one posts as they will write about something out of facts & knowledge one has attained over the years and the information will flow without having to think hard about a topic which could easily translate into producing quality posts!


Do you feel users who are known to be quality posters in various boards are individuals with high educational qualifications and vast experience.
Never thought of it this way!

But are we saying anybody that is well informed has a high educational background..no!! We have people that are more knowledgeable in certain fields because of the experience they have over the years,  meaning if its not a great educational background  then they have learnt it through experience !! By no means can post quality determine ones educational background,  sometimes it just takes interest in knowing more about the crypto niche.

As of our quality posters, let's just say it could be one of the two or both attributes that makes them reach this level.
1668  Economy / Gambling / Re: What other gambling sites offers free bitcoins like freebitco on: July 09, 2023, 10:26:42 AM
Some years back when bitcoin was making a name for itself, most casino's had inbuilt faucets as a way to allow users to try out the different games on offer without having to deposit a dime.

But ever since price soared, most of these have stopped having these faucet features as some users abused this service to make a good amount of $$$$ over time...

As of sites still having faucets,  you could try cryptogames, windice, trustdice and several others...but remember faucets are there just to give you a feel of the games and not to get out  with some big big profits.
1669  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think at some point government will change its stand and adopt Bitcoin? on: July 09, 2023, 06:20:13 AM
The fact that the government represents what the people want means it's just a matter of having a politician that will give a listening ear to the people and why they need bitcoin legalized, and once this is done other countries will certainly want to emulate this and not miss out on the digital revolution.

Just like the text in the photo," Bitcoin doesn't change,  Bitcoin changes you " sounds just about right and this is what's happening.

Which will be best non-KYC exchanger after Ku-coin?
I dont know about "Best" but if I recall well I think poloniex doesn't ask for KYC unless things have changed down their..

I have used kucoin exchange for a long time, during the time I used this exchange, there was no KYC problem in using this exchange. Recently, KYC has been made mandatory for this exchange due to security concerns.
Most exchanges once upon a time didn't have these KYC requirements unless you needed to withdraw above the set limit say for example 10k bitcoins ...unfortunately these features are nomore and most require KYC to be done.
 Smiley
And seeing the title to the thread, kucoin is nolonger a non-KYC exchange as can be seen by the photo when I visited their app

And I support it because having KYC verification gives a different level of security to the account. And if the account has KYC verification, fraud is less likely.  If KYC is now made mandatory then every user is required to do KYC on this exchange.
Maybe this is only because of regulatory requirements needed to operate in certain parts of the world...
Otherwise its only exchanges enjoying this whole KYC process and its an advantage on their side...
Talking of KYC, what happens to all the KYC data after its collected? Does anybody audit this data for any data tempering or trade...I don't think so!
1672  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will the USD loose it's kingship? Who will it loose it to? on: July 08, 2023, 08:18:27 PM
Looking at how BRICS has set itself up in all corners of the world and leaving the USA in the top west alone over there...that kingship is very much threatened! Economically, Politically, Technogically you name it all this amounts to put pressure on the USA, and China,Russia and it's allies aren't playing around as they are aggressive in their business models and growing their influence world over potentially leaving the US powerless!

And to top it off ,cryptocurrencies too seem to be having more influence  on the money markets which honestly doesn't really help fiat as they are kind of being destabilized by them too...but of course their impact won't be seen immediately but in due course this will be out for all to see.
1673  Economy / Speculation / Re: If bitcoin will accepted worldwide for legal then price rising $100k?? on: July 08, 2023, 07:02:44 PM

Snip~
BTCitcoin is not created to replace fiat currency globally but as an alternative to be traded globally. I do understand that many think and expect that the cryptocurrency market is created to takeover the entire fiat and the banking world, which is not the case, you need to have a combination of everything.
Totally agree with you Smiley
What you just said is the very reason why the Securities and Exchange Commission in different  parts of the world are trying to set the record straight to avoid this confusion of fiat being replaced and the alike!
And at this point am starting to understand them as many people out there think bitcoin is out here to kick out fiat when these are in two different worlds


When it comes to the price, you do not need a global adoption for the price to rally to $100k.
Technically you are right and I agree and disagree at the same time!

Of course global adoption might not even happen, but with history showing that we have failed to get price to this mark and the only answer being institutional investments coming on board...and with these guys means indirectly getting the legal go ahead for everyone as these guys have a worldwide reach in most markets.
1674  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to use the Bear Flag pattern and what to look for? on: July 08, 2023, 06:36:27 PM
These stereotypical strategies won't work anymore cause the traders are evolving with the help of technology so the opportunities are shrinking.
Evolving with the help of technology,  I don't follow..elaborate!

And just so you know, today we have more people winning  when it comes to the trading game as compared to a few years back were everyone relied on moving averages, trend lines and the alike...

The most easiest way is we can expect a green candle after a big red candle that is still preferred by many day traders and believing they can make money with this simple strategy. Well, it's true but not 100% accurate which means the remaining 20% plays a huge role so we need to be careful and build complex strategies to minimise the risks.
Trading the Green candle after a red candle and you say it's the preferred strategy by day traders in this day and age Huh No ways mate, clearly this is gambling!!!
How many times are you going to get false signals before catching the real move based on this strategy? I guess several false signals and I would advice anyone doing this to stop immediately !!

Btw trading shouldn't be hard or complex, if you trade it in a mechanical way and a trade meets all requirements before placing that pending order then the art of trading  is mastered!

Other news came from Manchester United, where the main goalkeeper David De Gea officially left Manchester United and with this the rumors about renewing his contract extension have officially ended.
The only possible reason for not extending his contract was the amount of money that was going towards his wages and they wanted to cut this after learning the hard way with CR7s fat wage ,and this could only be done by not renewing his contract...otherwise it's been a great 12years for the Spaniard , all the best David De Gea! Hope the next lad is equal to the task to make their mark.

Saturday's gossip:

France striker Kylian Mbappe thinks he might have to leave Paris St-Germain this summer as he is still not planning to extend his contract beyond 2024 and the 24-year-old's preferred option is to join Real Madrid.
This Real Madrid move ain't happening to be honest, because it has taken too long to materialize !
If Madrid were truly interested he would have gone by now..but with the back and forth stories this just makes this one of those great gossip stories for football nothing more.

PSG believe Mbappe has already agreed to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer and, if he does not sign a new deal with the French champions, they will sell him to the highest bidder this summer regardless of who it is.
The second he mentioned free agent next season just forced PSGs hand to secure a sell no matter the team, nomatter the league..because they will be the laughing stock should they fail to make some money off this big talent , and this means Real Madrid might not be his destination if PSG are to determine how much they want!!

As for the results,  well results are Based on final score and not technical results..I can only imagine having won such a bet and only to come back to see your balance is less than expected or in the negative...but i believe sportsbooks will settle it  as it was the first time not based on amended results.

1680  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: July 07, 2023, 04:52:32 PM

People who refuse KYC think that playing gambling doesn't need to submit their personal documents, especially those who don't use big money. And thinking is normal because they are not the big gambler type and only use gambling for fun.
KYC isn't really about being a high roller or a casual gambler that is playing with small money.. no!

KYC is usually in line with anti money laundering requirements and sometimes to avoid players that have been flagged for gaming casinos with strategies they do not allow and I believe it's to protect themselves from such player's and I think most casino's do ask for it!

And those who use gambling for more than just fun can accept KYC and enter into it to get something out of the casino. After all, they believe the casino can keep the personal documents well.
Lol nobody believes these casinos will keep these documents well and not in a million years!
The whole thing of going through this KYC process is to ensure funds aren't locked up in the gaming account and you can withdraw without any drama!!

Gamblers who stake hugely should prefer casinos who are reliable and those reliable casinos always ask for KYC. They should prefer them because of their trust gained over the years.
Agreed, KYC is inevitable especially that most casinos are regulated and for their growth  this is needed to give its customers confidence to play with them!

For example stake has been around for a longtime and will not want their reputation to go under the ground so what you know is if you play with them and win your money is guarantee that you will get. Therefore if you know a casino has a very good trust rating, you just go ahead with the KYC
Love the sales pitch!! You deserve to be a Stake ambassador:)
