Also, the Bitcoin address –15VjRaDX9zpbA8LVnbrCAFzrVzN7ixHNsC supplied by the OP – Gavin Andresen in that thread doesn't seem to be recognized by Blockchain for whatever inexplicable reason when I checked just now. I don't know if it's a fault from my side. It's the same for another wallet from another user on that thread that I checked. This 1Dn51Rn2tmvARcsYkPe7Aw1sCAXw5oKnR

That will be very rare to find. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. The few that still exist only give dust now. The reason I stopped participating in faucets a few years ago was because of the tricks most of these faucets employed, frustrating and preventing participants from withdrawing once they manage to get to the unrealistic withdrawal threshold set by the sites. It's tantamount to slaving for nothing.

Those who don't want to be taught by others are more likely suffering from a sort of complexity. Arrogance and unnecessary ego are involved. Else, how can one assume they know it all when it's obvious no one is a repository of knowledge.

Knowing this only comes by practical. You can't figure them out except you've dined with this lot.

This here is the greatest key to receiving/getting knowledge from others. Those who hoard knowledge hardly receive from others. As a tutor you will get to understand that teaching is also a part of learning. Even those you teach can chip in ideas/suggestions/words during the course of your teaching that can open up different perceptive to you and make you see something differently.

If Bitcoin could go from less than $1 a decade ago to over $68k in 2022, I don't see why it can't go to $1 million too. Bitcoin is more likely to hit  >$120k this coming bull rally that's expected to get to its crescendo in 2025. From the way Bitcoin is toppling its ATHs to set new records every circle, $1 million is highly feasible; only that we don't know when that will be. Expect there's an apocalyptic disruption, Bitcoin will get there. Those who calculate market cap at $1 million per BTC to doubt this, should ask themselves if they ever thought Bitcoin could get to $1k a decade ago.

Sincerely, I don't know why anyone should be dodgy talking to people about the complete embodiment of what Bitcoin is just to hoodwink them. It smacks of deceit. I believe those who do this are those who profit from referrals as they need more people to join in whatever scheme they run. While I trust Bitcoin investment in terms of stability more than any alts, the first thing I still do talking to anyone about investing in it is to let them know of the risk also associated with it. No business is immune to risk and loss.

Most of us advise that way – to do it wisely. However, I'm yet to see a man who believes in something but does it with skepticism. How wisely can investment be done except by investing in it? We can't continue to preach "invest cash you won't miss" when we know that there's no cash that can't be truly missed. For me, I don't think it should be any problem for anyone enrolled in a signature campaign to make out 10% of their weekly earnings to invest in Bitcoin it any alts on a weekly. 10% may look small but over time, gathered together, it's not.

There's no business without risk even with all its good trappings. The greatest risk to take, they say, is not attempting the risk itself.

I completely side with you on this. I'm sure if evaluated, even those who are supposedly saving for their kids may not have enough saved for themselves. I don't know if it's a case of people trying to sound woke or attempting to make their kids arrive earlier on the scene than their mates in future. On the main note, and this is very important, I do think it's wrong forcing stuff on others, especially trying to make others lead the type of life we regret not having.

For those who are here now but aren't buying or saving Bitcoin (even if it's in bits) you're going to miss out big time once halving takes place. The surge in price that happens after that is a joy to watch.

We can't be too meticulous that we can't have an iota of trust in someone or a system. It's a state of paranoia not to. No one is an island on their own. We need others (whether we want to admit it or not) to forge ahead in life. What makes you believe that even not keeping it in banks for a long time won't expose you to greater risk at home or wherever you choose to keep it?

I hope you read about the $3.3 million SushiSwap hack that happened in April or so, too. Sushiswap is a Dex, yet it also was hacked.

I think it's a thing with OP when you run through his topics. They've to learn the arts of precis writing, among other things.

I don't think anyone meant any harm saying that. It's just a fact they're stating. Don't take it the wrong way. Again, won't it also be thoughtful that you take note not to make your lectures to these ones you're teaching lengthy. The major thing that will interest most noobs about the teaching of Bitcoin for the first time will be the investment part. The technicalities around it will bore them. Making it lengthy will be a double jeopardy.

That cracked me up, for real. It's true. I came to the irrefutable conclusion that there's no easy/smart way to teach anyone Bitcoin if they aren't interested. I tried teaching Bitcoin to people around me a few years ago and most of them avoided learning it. It's just of recent they're asking for my attention to teach them.

Is it worth it to attend events hosted in the medical sector if you're in that sector? It's the same thing with your question. Of course, yes. I think seminars and trainings offered in different sectors are deemed necessary and those who work in those sectors shouldn't hesitate to attend them. Again, attending such events will provide attendees an ambience to interact with one another. Development takes place when people interact with others. All that will be necessary if one is interested in building a career around such. For instance, I find it exciting attending seminars hosted within my reach which are related to what I do. I believe it should be same for others.

I don't think you should deliberately misconstrue me to make a point. Remember the part where I said it was a crime both on this forum and outside it? You left that out? Again, OP didn't just copy another user's post; they consciously tried to pass it off as theirs by attending their own words to it. It's even a bigger crime than the regular plagiarism. That's why I said "I hope they do find redemption for this" type of attitude.

Especially that!

That's not even the issue. I don't think there's a rule against copying what others have said. The rule is against copying others without giving the credit to them. That's a crime, both here and in the intellectual world. It's called plagiarism or intellectual theft.

There were one of two things OP could've done there and not have fallen into that crime that got them banned. The first would've been to put the sentences lifted from SamReomo in quotation marks to show there weren't his. The second would be to put a source link to it. I don't see how doing either of the two would've belittled the OP. I don't know what OP's real reason was for doing what they did but it's bad practice of them to have done it. I hope they do find redemption for this.

While I point out that no knowledge is a waste, I quite agree with you that every knowledge should be put to use. It doesn't make any sense to tell someone to expect a bull run soon but we don't have a single Satoshi we're hodling. Our knowledge of Bitcoin should be able to fetch us money through our investment on it, not just mere talks and evangelism of it. However, I think what makes it look like so many people don't hodl can only be attributed to the need to use it immediately it's earned from campaigns. This is common with those who don't have earnings elsewhere or in other employments. People don't save when they hardly can afford the basic things of life like food and shelter.

To start with, Price Action (PA) isn't an indicator. It's just you viewing price movement in relation to candle patterns and guessing where it heads to. In essence, PA is trading handsfree. As for Fibs, I used that a lot when I began trading but along the line I realized there's no perfect way to draw it. It was more of guessing as it could be plotted or drawn from any top or bottom. By that I mean, top/bottom of 1hr, 4hrs, daily or weekly etc could be used and they give different vibes. For me, anything that's not near clarity in trading is second guessing and that's gambling. May be there are better ways to look at Fibs than I do and I wouldn't mind to have opinions on that. This day, I'm more confident relying on pivots, trendlines and S&R than any other indis.

You could've a point there. However, I do think it's more of people getting used to Bitcoin always coming back from its near "death experiences" each time and deciding to hodl despite any FUD. Even those who FUD do so to get cheap entry. Investors aren't as scared as they were a few Bitcoin circles ago. Each circle has taught many of us to continue to believe in Bitcoin's reliability. Take for instance, a few months ago someone begged me to invest in cryptocurrency of my choice for them. Knowing how nothing is certain in this industry, I took a gamble with Bitcoin. I put the cash on Bitcoin. On my own fund, I would've invested on some alts and borne the huge risk. I chose Bitcoin because it's money I wanted to gain back no matter how long it took. It will only use up anyone's patience for whatever dip Bitcoin is experiencing to get back to profit. This type of mindset I didn't have a few years ago. In the past I would've panicked with each dump and sold off but not now anymore.

I can understand your drift here because we're from the same continent and country. In the advanced world, people don't bring spiritualism and religion into a business space. It's because we're very sentimental and emotional around religion in Africa that we think it matters in business. No, it doesn't. In fact, I made it a principle not to invest in any project that has anything religion written in its blueprint. It often ends as a scam.

I will try and answer the rest of the valid but lengthy questions you asked in the subsequent paragraphs in this comment and to that effect I posit that nothing can be taken as a certitude in this life. Life is subject to change and that's why change is the only constant thing in life. Ask those who became rich and famous now if they knew they would become this way today and the honest ones will tell you they never thought so. It's the same way when you interrogate the once wealthy folks who are in bad shape today if they ever thought they would wreck. However, I do know that before companies give out loans to their staff there are stuff put in place to protect the companies in the case of the inevitable. Again, demotion of staff doesn't easily happen except it's in companies run without rules.

This is apt. For those who assume that history wouldn't continue to repeat itself on Bitcoin will have a hard time making money off it. For me, the full circle is the ups and downs that cumulate in ATH every four years. I saw it in 2017, 2021 and I'm expecting another in 2025. The beauty of the whole thing is that each preceding ATH is always better than the last.

Certainly, even Satoshi never envisaged that Bitcoin would be treated as an asset. He merely looked at it as a payment option and that was why he talked about volume. Today, the greatest advantage of Bitcoin which has helped advance it is its price, not volume. Many of us got hooked on it because of how price moved and then decided to make further research on it. I never thought of Bitcoin as a means of payment the first time I heard of it on radio. The radio crusaders on that day only talked about its value appreciation as an investment.

There's no one who lives without money. There's always something that's generally accepted as means of exchange within every community. Whatever that's, it's money. It doesn't need to be paper/fiat.

However, poverty isn't the lack of physical money. It's a mental state ingrained in the mind and that's why you can't take certain people out of that state no matter how hard you try. Lack of money is brokenness and it's subject to fluctuations. This same state changes from time to time, good to bad and vice versa.

In the face of the two, considering also that you've got a secured job capable of taking care of the loan, you should go ahead and buy the property. It's a better option on the long run than renting.

Most times, life doesn't go straight as planned. Things happen that can adversely change the direction of our plans. I don't want to say shit happens but then that's what it's. I've seen businesses go down and run owners into great debts instead of providing them financial liberation. I dare say there's no guarantee a business will bring anyone fortunes. However, business pays if it goes well.

Generally, nobody likes to hear they should pay for what they can get for free by simply hitting their keyboard online. If you're asking users here for donations for indis that are free by default, then you're more likely not getting anyone. If you want to sell indis, why not work your trading plan and code it into an indi by yourself. Also, I don't think there's anything as oversold or overbought positions when it comes to trading. What looks oversold or over bought to you, judging from the type of indicator you've may look nowhere close to it from another's perspective.

I was going to ask that same question until I saw it had been asked already. You know, if we advocate that people shouldn't take to heart mere words thrown here as hurting since it's just social media and not physical; why then is a comment issuing threat any different and punishable since it's also on social media and not physical?

Oh, TMAN! Does any even know where he is? User hasn't been active for a few years now. I hope he's ok. That user was a handful.
