1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can small investors actually make good profit with bitcoin ? on: August 12, 2026, 04:47:10 AM
I have been thinking lately about how investing in bitcoin is actually a great idea but also it can be really hard to make profit off bitcoin if you're a small Investor
Imagine this:
If bitcoin is at $64k and me as a small investor bought with $1k, for me to make 100% profit bitcoin will have to hit $128k, that is still feasible
But if I'm hoping to make a 200% profit on my investment bitcoin price will have to get to $256k, how achievable is that ? And if it's achievable how long is it going to take

Which brings me back to my question
Can small investors actually make good profit with bitcoin?

Or are there other ways to make money with bitcoin as a small investor rather than just buy and hold?

Based on what your expectations are with a $1k investment capital, it simply means you are looking for a quick way to get rich, and of which Bitcoin at this current stage is no more in that phase. A $1k investment as at 10 years back is a very large sum of capital to invest, and those who did then are on good profit now. So, if you invest $1k now and patiently wait for 5 years, you'll see positive feedback from the market, but if you want to see quick returns in a short period of time, you can try altcoins when the market is on a bullish trend or you can try gambling. One good bet can give you 100% or more, but when it comes to investment, any form at all, you need to be patient and wait for things to grow.

Knowing how volatile Bitcoin can be in a bullish momentum made it to be difficult for most investors and weak traders/holders to keep up with their holding, knowing well the nature of Bitcoin movement. It is hard to say if the price of Bitcoin has reached its bottom, and it is difficult to say when the next phase of the market will surface, therefore investors sell off to put their money somewhere else, when Bitcoin is facing decline.


Think about what it survived this year:
  • Escalations around the Strait of Hormuz which caused moves in oil prices that could have economic chain effects.
  • The recent Coldcard hardware wallet security exploits, the trust on Bitcoin security, and the FUD around it.
  • The huge initial ETF outflows.
  • The US job reports, interest rate, and important unfavorable announcements.
  • Michael Sailor breaking his no-sell promise, using Bitcoin as a source of liquidity, casting doubts on how long institutions can hold.

Bitcoin has seen situations that made it strong over the years gone bye, and seeing same thing at this current time, it doesn't flinch anymore, rather it moves in its desired direction, not because of politics or some sort of hype from public figures, rather making its firm stand.

the rule has been changed and ALL knockouts count. If you have more than those submitted, please submit those that are missing.


I didn't know there was a change in the KOs, I was more concerned in being among the top 20s before I look up on KOs, and funny enough, when I wanted to take a step to start aiming for KO's, that was exactly when I got KO'd  Cheesy

First round was an interesting one, looking forward to see how the next one goes.

GG to all the winners, and congratulations to 1st place, who has secured a place for the grand final.

Guys I need to ping you one more time and I kindly ask you to give a reliable response because it helps planning the final details before the thread is published. How many of you, if they don't qualify for the final during the first six qualifier rounds, would pay $50 for a ticket for the grand final? Or would actually be one, two, or three $50 tickets (two rebuys possible during the first 10 levels)?

It would help a lot to finalize everything. Just assume the worst case and you don't make it top 3 or don't get a lot of knockout bounties.

@osasshem

I am willing to pay the $30, but is this $30 for every round through out the six rounds before the grand final?
Also, participants who came out first 3, would they be given a free ticket to the grand final or it is only the first that will receive a free ticket for the grand final?

Concerning the $50 final ticket, I will be willing to commit, but depends on how the six rounds turns out. I have lots of expenses tagged on me. The six rounds will determine my conclusion on the finale. Thanks.

Hi guys,

after talking to Royse, my suggestion is to have a $5 buy-in for the qualifier rounds and those $5 will go towards a knockout bounty pot. That way we will have a $5 bounty per knockout. It makes the game more exciting and we have a small barrier to enter the tournament. In my opinion still tool low, but the goal is to find a middle ground.

Since Royse has a lot to do, I offered my help to count the knockouts. I won't be recording anything, so the idea is that there will be a google form and everybody has to submit the pokernow link for a knockout hand (or multiple), I will check all submitted links and credit the knockouts accordingly to you guys. There will be further details, but this is the idea we would like to stick to. The $5 buy-in is to be paid in USDT BSC.

For those who posted their whitelisting already: @vladu89, @Ksmertz, @ MCVXYZ, @sundaylex1, @Top_teee, @Ki_Luciano1, @Leahized, @Kirakruz, @ossashem, @dabosky, @Kadelvibes, @Beingjaguuu



The buy-in is a good idea, as it will help reduce the rate of bot accounts playing in the tournament. The google form is still under processing I guess.
Curious: Concerning the buy-in, will there be provided an address (personal address) or the sponsor will provide the address where the buy-in will be sent to? Will it be a casino platform or similar?

Is there anyone who needs SWC poker chips, I really really need to exchange it with anyone who is willing to pay the equivalent. It is not up to 500 chips (uBTC) which is the minimum withdraw, that is why I can't withdraw from the platform directly. It is a prize I won from the past tournament, and it has just been hooked up there all these while. I have a project at hand, and this is my best shot in funding it.

- A GUARANTEED prize pool of $1500 is allocated
- Top 10 place will share the prize pot.
- The 6 group round winners will join FREE using their earned tickets
- To join the grand final, one need to buy ticket. One can purchase up to 3 tickets and can rejoin until the 10th level of the game (I will define the level later however possibly we are looking at a 30 level game) in case they are out from the table.
- Each ticket will cost $50 and there are no refund will be issued.
- If we can sale a minimum 10 tickets then we will add additional $1,100 with the prize pool to make the final pot $2,600
- If we can sale a minimum 20 tickets then we will add $2,100 instead of $1,100 with the prize pool to make the final pot a massive $3,600!


Just making sure you are doing math correct. Guaranteed $1500 prize pool but if 10 tickets are bought($500) you'll add $1100 to the prize pool? So you'll pay 600 from your pocket? Then if 20 tickets are bought($1000) you'll drop $1100 from your pocket?

In a few days I am going to host a $6,000 cash prize POKER tournament. Here is what I have in mind:

I guess everything is coming forth from his pocket or the tournament sponsor...

13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cold storage system isn't just for large btc portfolio's but long term holder's on: July 20, 2026, 10:12:43 AM
I have always seen a cold storage as a means of storing large amount of Bitcoin for a very long period of time. This is because it is for a long term investment, and not for the short term. Also, there is no need of buying an expensive storage device to keep an asset that you will be spending in a short period of time, and also wanting to store assets worth less than the cost of purchasing the equipment/device. I wish to hold for a long term, but knowing well that my holdings might not be enough to purchase the storage device and still have something worth holding, its better to use a more secured wallet and keep my keys safe.

With the saying that the internet is not 100% secured is enough to know that storing important things like seed phrase is a risky decision to take. Manually storing it is way much safer. Except you keep it carelessly, it will not be easily stolen or lost.
15  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Qu: When Bank Delay Cause P2P Confusion, Who Is Responsible? on: July 08, 2026, 09:50:55 AM
20 to 30 minutes

I don't know why he paid and cancelled the trade but one thing I had in mind is that maybe he was having challenges with bank network or just from his network service. Cuz I know truly well that he didn't cancel the trade intentionally (who does that in the economy?)
So what do you think made him send money and cancelled trade?
Will you resend the token back to the vendor after paying and canceling the trade?


I don't really use bitget exchange, but I know there is time set for every P2P trade, which is on a countdown, and when the time has elapse, the trade automatically closes, that I think might be what happened for the trade to have closed. Just as you said
Quote
who does that in the economy?


On the other way round, bank network is another serious challenge we have in this country, and because of the bank delay, the trade timer on the bitget P2P has reached the time for the trade to end and the trade closes while the bank is still processing the transaction. This then made it look like the buyer closed the trade. For it to take a longer time for the buyer to respond could be that he is not always active online. Good to have a completed transaction between you two, cause its almost like the both of you are among the rarest persons we have in this country...  Grin Grin

So long communication was made between the two persons, then refunding is possible.
16  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: 27yo with $50k consider buying 1BTC RN smart long term play or too risky? on: July 01, 2026, 10:00:40 PM
Going all in is a good crypto investment approach for long term investors, but knowing how unstable the market can be and how volatile the market is, for a moment, splitting the funds would be better, cause the market might still go down, as the season is known to be a bear season. Use some portion of the funds to buy now, and wait for the next drop to buy again. The speculations of market going even lower than what we have now is a reason behind this statement of mine. But for a long term investor, going all in with the mindset of a long term run will yield incredible profits for the next 2 to 3 years.
17  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: crypto made Nigeria better or worse? on: July 01, 2026, 09:09:49 PM
Crypto has not really done anything good or bad to Nigeria as a country, instead, it has helped transformed and changed lives of Nigerians from the system of fiat and governance control. Crypto, Bitcoin in particular brought a total change and a difference in view of how the financial industry works, and what it has been hiding from the populace for years. The decentralized nature of Bitcoin made the government to feel the presence of a real threat to their method of financial manipulation, whereby people can stay off the fiat centralized system and this means no more control over the people, because they are free.

Crypto changed the lives of Nigerians, leaving Nigeria as a country where it is.
18  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Did you think Africa could lead the next Bitcoin Wave on: June 22, 2026, 11:43:12 AM
E de possible, but for the fact say the African countries never take the stand for crypto adoption yet, that one go be a big challenge in other to bring such imagination to reality. In terms of adoption, Africans de at the high level, for the sake of having poor native financial system within the African Nations. The youths de find waytin go fit sustain them, and not cripple. Africa go get the highest rate of mass adoption, not to take lead of any wave at all. That one still far for us to carry out.
19  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Don’t or blindly totally trust an expert in bitcoin or any other investment. on: June 15, 2026, 08:09:51 PM
When it comes to crypto form of investment, no matter the advise you are being given, take your time to make your personal research. The crypto part of investment is open for anyone to access information and freely. But when it comes to other forms of investment outside crypto, and you personally come across an expert, you need to be extra careful, not just for the fact that he/she is going to lead you astray, but for the fact that you might be introduced into an investment platform that you may not even succeed in the first phase, not to move to the next. Lots of them will introduce you and convince you to invest, and when you start unveiling their hidden secretes of bring one and two members, or do that in other to reach the next level, that's when you'll realize you just got yourself into something that will not last long.

Investment experts I do hear of and have come across will always give sweet and attractive words to lure you in, giving you the surface exciting information, hiding the deep part, that can make you lose interest or think twice. Any investment without surfacing the risks attached, avoid them as much as possible.
