You aren't harsh if you've this mindset. I do too. Sometimes I think it's sheer laziness that makes them ask questions that are staring them in the fact right there. I believe anyone genuinely seeking knowledge will be voracious in reading and researching and when I don't find it in these newbies, I summarily conclude they just want to be here for the grab; so to say. Recently, we've seen a preponderance of "I'm a newbie" threads pop up here and there. They can lurk around, study and read comments in the forum and form answers to some of the questions they might have asked in a haste, without screaming they're here.

The part of Bitcoin being guaranteed return on investment is true but that will also depend on when the investor is buying or investing in it. Those who invested in Bitcoin in 2021 at its ATH of $68k+ will tell you otherwise because they're in severe loss at the moment. They've to wait till 2024 or so to recup their investment let alone profit from it. So, you see? It's not all roses for Bitcoin investment too. Just know the time and season before diving in.

On my part, to respond to your title topic, I see Bitcoin more of an asset than a payment option or any other stuff.

Aw! You're trying to whet my appetite on that one. You're arousing my curiosity further. You're so confident of this? If it's something you will want me to take a look at, is there any one you can recommend? Again, can it be run on mobile phone or simply a PC affair? I wouldn't mind to take a peep at it.

It simply points to one thing – casinos don't like those who play against them winning. Forget all the glitz and razzmatazz on media of those who win, I always believe it's staged. For all we know, those they parade as lucky winners could be their cronies and they launder cash through them by making them pretend they hit a jackpot.

I don't know if I'm just old–school or simply paranoiac as I haven't been able to bring myself to trust Al to do my trading for me. I like it the manual way of doing it myself. Honestly, I feel it's safer to trade and lose it myself to allowing Al trade for me. Als don't have emotions and any sense of judgment that can make them detect when things go awry, especially if a bug occurs in their codes. If there's ever a glitch, An Al is likely to revert and behave in negative to make one incur huge losses. With all the good stories I read about Als I'm still not moved yet to try it out.

Through a link supplied here, I read one of the most inspiring endeavours of a pioneer. Late Finney was truly a genius who lived out his time well before his demise. What moved me most was how he continued to write codes and all that even while sick suffering paralysis. Dude was genuinely passionate about programming and Bitcoin. I think people should read up this thread of his...

I guess every newbie who's interested in cryptocurrency will ask this same question out of perplexity. I asked too. A few months after I registered here (2017) I was alarmed when I saw the preponderance of ICO projects being registered on a daily. Those projects were rushing to the market like the industry would soon go out of business. Total listed cryptos when I registered here was around 750 from CMC data. Today, there are well over 10,000 listed coins and tokens according to data from Coingecko site.

If it weren't profitable being in this industry the numbers won't be on a steady increase. To answer your question – Yes, it's still profitable for new projects. It will even get more interesting when the bull rally starts after Bitcoin halving.

Igehhh is a big asset to the Nigerian local board and I believe he will do fantastically well being a merit source. I support him wholeheartedly to achieve that. The user is as jovial as he's meticulous and diligently committed to whatever tasks he sets his mind on. Theymos, kindly attend to this. "Owa" local board can do with that.

As funny as that sounds, it's the truth. There was a time I spent some hours in contemplation on that. Even a common thing as a 2FA or email verification when one logs in, the forum doesn't see any reason to implement any. I mean, that can further strengthen accounts security.

I won't be surprised if that's the mission statement of this forum. I've come to realize that theymos doesn't like anything that will stand as encumbrances to users here. He delays in implementing anything he knows will put a lot of users in discomfort, especially when such is called for by veteran users. I think having more users onboard makes much sense to him than policing harshly those already here.

Pikin wey dey travel every time go get better sense pass an elder wey siddon for one place.
Meaning: Wisdom isn't bestowed based on age but experience.

You forget sey some Nigerians wey dey dis forum fit dey abroad register and some wey even dey Naija fit use VPN register also?

Like sey some people reincarnated, ba?

Anyway, na true you talk chook there. Even till date sef some people still dey avoid gummy body with d rest of us unto make dem nor begin know dem as Naija peeps and those ones go don dey here tey tey.

I thought this issue don dey settled long time ago? Why resurrect it? Yes, English na owa official language but we sabi how flowery, peculiar and sweet wey pidgin dey be for mouth and na wetin make some of us then supported pidgin. I follow people wey sey make we use pidgin only but as majority voted sey both King's English and pidgin should go together, we settled for that. That supposed be bygone by now na. Abi e get something wey I dey miss here?

That a coin/token is top on the list doesn't mean it can't still disappear into thin air overnight. That shouldn't be a yardstick for picking a project to invest in. Well, maybe in the past so many of us thought it was the needed pointer but recent events over the past few years have proved that to be wrong. It's not a yardstick any more. Apart from Bitcoin, ETH, XRP (Nee Ripple), Dogecoin and Litecoin, other coins currently on the top 20 on the list weren't even there seven years ago. Most of those on the list then have either collapsed or are now not favourable investment picks any more as they've lost steam and are nowhere close to the top today.

On general, crypto investment is risky; whether with old coins or new ones they're all risky. Bitcoin isn't exempted from that risk too. The one advantage Bitcoin has over others is its ability to recover whatever dump it suffers during bear rally. Other coins may not survive the bad moment.

Password reset isn't in anyway a bad thing except there's something one is hiding from the public glare. We do it on other sites we visit whenever we suspect something fishy with our accounts. Once I get at OTP (I ain't talking about here) on any site I use but didn't ask for it, I know someone what's to access my account without my knowledge. The next thing I do is reset my password. It simply tells you that they've broken your password but couldn't get pass the 2FA on that account. If with time you feel your password has become too easy, it's better changing it. It doesn't mean it's a bought or compromised account.

You should make it a priority to get a second device then so you can separate your ROM duties from every other ones where you don't have to constantly reset to test stuff.

Solve the problem by writing out your username on a piece of paper, if you don't have a digital notebook.

It's not a wise thing to do, whether with BTT or any other site. The old fashioned way of paper and pen still remains the best method of saving passwords to the best of my perspicacity, anyway.

To put it right, what you seek isn't a DCA method but how to place an order. I have yet to see where an order opens ahead of the price set for it. However, we can't for sure trust these exchanges that they won't manipulate price to get it filled before its level. By the way, why would anyone want to put that much into buying a coin and then set the price above its current rate instead of setting it below to be picked up during correction? If price were at $29k and I'm certain I want to go in, I would rather place my buy order below $29k at an available support level. That's the best way to go about it

This is the only reason I think this stands a chance of making sense, if at all it should. Otherwise, it's redundancy. That only reason for me could be in the event of the OP's demise or complete incapacitation. Other than that, I don't think there's a need for it. Whenever OP comes online they can moderate their thread and do the needful. What if the other mod(s) deletes what OP believes (while still active) is constructive and before anyone could say Jack it's gone? What of such happening? Wouldn't that bring friction between or among OP's co-mods?

Memecoins don't tarnish any crypto image. You can hate them for all you want but their presence provides hype and excitement in the industry and invariably help draw the attention of the public to cryptos. Yes, we know most of these memecoins later become worthless but that isn't before it leaves some wealthy as it leaves others poor. Those who are usually trapped in losses are those who think they can turn the worthless coins to Bitcoin in value. If anyone has to invest in memecoins, they should know they're short term investment; usually a kind of "hit and run" thing in my local parlance.

Everything about and around trading revolves round emotion. Patience is an attribute of emotion just like crying, excitement, anxiety, joy, depression, loneliness etc. Anyway, I get your drift in trying to make a dichotomy between both. If anyone is able to control their emotions and not trade on impulse, we're still saying the same thing about patience. It's often said that patience is a virtue in trading. Nothing kills a trading plan faster than the lack of emotional control.

Really? You should've been here in 2018 – 2020 and then make a better judgment in comparison. There are so many members who want to aid others now in as much as these others are willing to put in efforts in churning out posts on point unlike what transpired in the past. In the past members were given neutral tags by certain DT members for what they termed "shit-posting" by their own judgment. I don't think we still have them now. I guess there's a renewed and more lenient sense of judgment on stuff now by those DT members who were unapproachable in the past. Perhaps life happened and a new awareness set in that makes them now see things differently. Whoever complains of merit being difficult getting now isn't doing much active posting and in the relevant sections of the forum. 

This is a big turnoff for me. Once I get any business proposal inbox without me being the one who initiated it, I know it's obviously a scam waiting to happen. How people fall for such cheap orchestration where they're held by the strings like puppets by people they may not even know beats me hollow.

Scammers know people easily fall for freebies and that's because greed is universal. Those who want to reap where they didn't show should've themselves to blame if they're hoodwinked. Why would anyone believe a random person would throw money at them just like that for free. There's something beneath such Greek gift and everyone who's offered one should find out what is hidden under it.

You're right. Those who make it a priority with what fees are charged trading are those who aren't too sure they can make a kill trading. Otherwise what should concern every trader is the security of their funds on exchanges they use and their ability to withdraw whenever they want. What's the benefit having little or zero fees charged for trading when the trader can't withdraw? There should be a call for traders to pay more attention to important things on exchanges than meagre fees charged trading.

This should be what transpired. That's if OP was truthful with what they said happened. Otherwise, one would conclude that OP is just trolling since they still haven't presented a simple thing as the TX ID for that transaction to buttress their story.
