We know all about that inspirational quote. I doubt if those who quote it will be able to stand to its reality in practice. If 1 BTC in 2009 is the same thing as 1 BTC in 2023, let someone repeat that feat of donating 50 BTC to the forum like some early adopters did 🤦. We're talking about value here, not a mere mathematical representation.

I flow with all you said here. Any projection that puts next Bitcoin ATH at less than double of its present ATH ($68k+) is simply being too modest.

Certainly, the forum interface for mods is the same as it's to the general registered members; only that the mods have access to more features we don't have. I write from experience as a mod in one forum that has now gone defunct. The method of selection for us in that forum was based on activeness and then those who wanted to moderate indicated interest by saying that on a thread dedicated to such. Qualified members were picked and communicated to.

But of course, every labourer deserves their wages. Just like I was paid on that forum, I know mods here too are paid. The only difference would be that I was paid with a shit token created by that said forum while mods here are paid with Bitcoin.

It's more likely that OP manually wrote out the address than copied it. Otherwise, the mistake in 1 for I wouldn't have occurred. OP, you should desist from doing it manually by typing it out. Just copy and paste and that will save you a lot of mistakes.

From the look of things it's very unlikely that OP has any funds in that wallet. Those who will want to PM the OP for PKey will also be novice like the OP.

Na true you yarn, Obari. I supposed pour you beta two buta of water but wetin dey my fridge nor reach anywhere, na im make me relax 4 now. You try, nor be small thing.

Well, I neva see sha 🙄. I nor wan even behold such scenario sef make dem nor go spoil my churcheous mind jor. Anyway, as you carry d matta enta ordinary meaning with illustration of physical marriage, Paul too for Bible nor marry but he addressed so many issues in marriage.

All 💯. Ur granny train you well. Even if na from ur neighbours you learn dem, you copied well.

SmartGold01 na true everything wey you talk. The stress and the whole delay for d thing just tire persin na wetin make me just shift eye on top am. E come be like sey big man theymos nor too send. I dey see how oda local board dey throw merits and na because dem get heavy merit sources there. We nor go relent anyway until we finally get more people in there, anyway.

The world is evolving, truly. I think it's going to be a long walk before we get to the point were Bitcoin will become a major channel for the payment of salaries, globally. It may happen, but considering the poor nature of electricity supply in the world; it will take a long time to achieve. Electricity is the life wire of the internet. Bitcoin can't be accessed without the internet. We all can see what's happening with that. Yes, I know and acknowledge that already companies/businesses are paying in Bitcoin but that's just a very minute population. These companies doing that shouldn't be a point of reference to use Bitcoin payment option because both scenarios aren't the same.

In general, I'm not one to depend on robot to trade for me because I feel anything can go wrong in the code and the robot begins to malfunction and blow my account. I like doing it manually, and when I don't have the time for it I steer clear off trading. Although I've read so many nice stories about bots doing great executions, especially doing ICOs in the early days when it was really hard getting orders filled, I still believe nothing is better than human touch.

In the present time I've also read about bots picking up profits immediately liquidity is provided for new projects and before those rogues amongst them rugpull. Well, maybe AI can work well in purely technical analysis controlled market like Indices but I don't think it will do well in Forex trading with its mixed analysis of technical and fundamental. The simple truth is that AIs don't have emotions and are likely to miss out whatever implications FA will push out.

Bro, you got it right. That enormous population thing hasn't favoured Africa because of selfish leadership. In China, the reverse is the case. The Chinese can produce and consume what they've and still survive. Corruption is at its lowest ebb in China and that has helped them to effectively manage themselves. Africa is cursed (yes, I make bold to say that) with bad leadership. The enormous population, especially in my country has continually made things deplorable as the scarce infrastructure is getting more scarce by each passing day.


Finding my country on the number 6 spot makes me feel bad. Sadly, there's nothing anyone can do. That's how things are. Nigeria has enormous resources, both in manpower and natural endowment. Regrettably, disastrous leadership has perpetually kept the country backwards.

In the past I would've speedily concluded that was the situation and such investors knew what they were doing. Then I used to believe these investors must've seen a dump coming and decided to cash out momentarily. However, recent events have proved this to be false. Most whales just want to shake off shrimps and planktons from the market so they can buy more. They cause the panic sell so they can buy from weak hands. It's not necessarily because there's a fundamental causing a dump.

That's true, and annoyingly so. No matter how hard we try to reserve capital for such a time, it's never there. I think the reason is because we are always in a hurry to load up at the first sight of dump, thinking that's the bottom. It's so annoying that we don't later have an opportunity to buy in after price keeps dumping. It happened to me in 2017 and 2021 but I found a way around it after that. I now use DCA approach. No matter how tempted I am to buy in at once, I resist the urge. There are some coins I missed buying huge because price reverted from the point of my first purchase in bits. I'm not crying over that. In business, you will some; you lose some.

In actual sense, no one can tell you where Bitcoin price is headed exactly. At a time like this, most people will tell you it's upward bound because of the effect of its halving in 2024. That event is just around the corner and if by now Bitcoin hasn't dumped, it simply means it's going to take a very ominous FUD to drag it down. I don't see that happening. I'm optimistic at the moment that price will shoot up instead of going down. If you're waiting at $25,000 level to get in, you may get lucky or not. However, it's better not to miss the bus than miss it. If I were you (while waiting for it to get to $25k) I would DCA on it.

Exactly the point I buttressed there. Reading and all that are mere theories. Trading is essentially practical, not theory. This is why most people who talk about trading with all the razzmatazz never get to excel making profit because they don't have a good handle on trading. It's like a medical doctor who's good at book work but never gets to perform surgeries. His mindset won't be like one who has been performing surgeries all years. This is why I criticize those who think trading is a shortcut to making it big. It's never. It requires practical hardwork and patience.

OP's moniker (idkwhatimdoinghere4039) is indeed a very hilarious but revealing one. Truly, "I Don't Know What I'm Doing Here" doesn't know what's happening here. What do you actually mean by idkwhatimdoinghere4039

Someone asked you what you meant by "dirty Bitcoin," and you're asking them to meet up with you on Telegram or receive external links. That's not a great strategy to win your arguments.

With the few years of experience I've garnered in trading, I'm of the opinion that those who jump up and down on social media brandishing one paid signal group, articles, books or the other aren't actually profitable. They're mere marketers. Those who trade for a living don't have time for such unnecessary involvement on daily basis.

Talking about those who think they can be self sufficient by solely learning on their own, my word to them is that they will easily and quickly burn out. In trading, no man is an island on his own. We need the knowledge of others to know where we truly stand. Cross fertilization of ideas is needed to help proper one further in life, trading especially.

Even though reluctantly, it still escaped you to acknowledge that this forum provides an avenue through which posters get paid for posting. I don't think Reddit does that. To be frank, there aren't a handful of sites that do what Bitcointalk does. It provides us knowledge free of charge and we still get paid through signature campaigns just for sharing ideas, knowledge and gossips. This forum has indeed helped (still helping) a lot of families out financially, whether directly or indirectly. We shouldn't jettison that.

At high school we were taught in economics the crucial part transportation plays in both the lives of man and his agricultural produce. These are things we see in the open. It's not rocket science to know it. That's why the least thing that affects transportation also tampers with the cost of living and its standard. It's a given that whenever there's an increase in the pump price of PMS, cost of living in general flies up. It begins with whatever that's sold in the market. Fix electricity supply and transportation you would've solved half of man's basic needs.

We know that forex trading existed long before the discovery of cryptos and Meta4 was the in-thing then. That explains it. MT5 is a new discovery and an update on MT4. So, it's expected that most forex brokers are already hooked up on that platform. I've also see a broker that has Mt4 and Mt5 platforms. It's a matter of choice, I think.

That's the way of criminal brokers and we've them a lot in FX. The advantage FX trading has over cryptos is that such brokers can be reported to regulatory bodies if you've solid proof against them or you drag them to www.forexpeacearmy.com (FPA) which they dread. I once took a broker to FPA and won my case against the broker.

That simply emphasizes the aphorism – Failure is a bastard. People only want to be associated with success and not failure. Others saw your uncle's success as an achievement they could tap into after they must've shown skepticism while your uncle was starting off with his plan.

It's almost assured that it will happen, except something very unusual disrupts the Bitcoin circle before then. Next year is halving, it's a price chase from there till 2025. I believe Bitcoin will do above $120k in its next all time high expected in 2025.

Oh, I thought I was the lonely one with such a thought.

I believe ETH has better utility than what Bitcoin offers. It has advanced this industry more than Bitcoin and every other alts. Let's not even go into its contract utility which Bitcoin doesn't have. However, I think what seemed to have given Bitcoin that edge is the pseudonym anonymity of ownership and its decentralized nature. These two have endeared it to a very strong and committed community. It's the fan base that has given Bitcoin the value of attraction.
