I won't say it won't help or not but it's not the sole thing for it. What formal education does to people is to expose them to curiosity for those who like challenging what they don't know but want to know them. If one keeps a closed mindset, formal education won't help them much, whether in entrepreneurship or other facets of life. For instance, I got exposed to business as a teenager before proceeding to high institution. Formal education is more of theory while real life is practical. If acquiring entrepreneurship skills or learning is what's needed to sustain a business, then those who teach it in schools should be the world's richest individuals. Sadly, it's not so. If you want to go into business, begin to channel your mind and thinking towards that. Follow those who are into business online and watch what they do and their lectures on YouTube. Most of them give business nuggets and strategies out for free.

Lucius, to tell you the truth I don't have pity for anyone who gets scammed by newbies. How do users throw caution to the wind when dealing with others here, especially when it's obvious the account is a noob account. It's on the profile that such an account is newly registered and they go ahead to deal with it. That's an unnecessary risk. It's like crossing a busy road with one's eyes closed.

I believe sey na pap you wan write there, ba?

Dem nor dey give cat fish hold
Meaning: Don't entrust anything that may be tempting to steal to a dishonest person. They will definitely steal it.

I also speculate that too. In fact, I aim at $120k – $150k. From past data, every new ATH after halving has given us more than double of the ATH it's replacing. Bitcoin's current ATH stands at $68k+. We understand what a double of that means.

Since she gave her consent, you're in the clear. Though I hope she doesn't have a change of mind before 2024 to reap the outcome of such an investment. It's a matter a patience to achieve result. For me, I expect the new ATH to come in 2025, not in 2024

There's nothing wrong with trying to be ambitious in trying new things, honestly. However, where the nag is when people get offers of financial gratifications from total strangers and they fall for it. The internet isn't a safe place and that's why we ought to always be cautious. Scam activities are more pronounced on Telegram than on any other social media sites. A few days ago, I came across one that tried talking smooth and had a girlie picture and name on their profile. I wasn't moved by all that but I played along until I got to the point where I asked them how much they wanted to scam me of. It was at that point that the conversation paused. Opening links sent to you for business purposes from total strangers should be seen as one opening oneself to scam.

Well guys, not really ego bruising. Slighted, yes but not ego crushed. It was more of them allowing their ignorance to drown my goodwill for them as it were. Ego was the last thing that crossed my mind while that experience I narrated took place. Now, going back to repeat anything about Bitcoin to those set of people would be a waste of my precious time. I don't have such time to waste as I'm more occupied now than I was then. However, that's not to say one or two of them from the past haven't realized what they missed then not listening to me.

As it stands now, bounty campaigns are a precious waste of time. Your friend must've relayed to you the golden era of bounty campaigns here. I guess that era ranged from  2016 - 2017. That was when a lot of users who were serious hunting it made cool cash. Now, not anymore.

Yeah, this is a nice way to fast track your step back to the right route. Hopefully, you keep to this resolution and you will see how things turn for better for you.

Paradoxically, losing is a part of winning when it comes to trading. Sadly, most traders don't want to be reminded of losing or have that mandatory feel of is. No gain without pain as they say in gym houses, and I think that also rightly applies to trading. Newbie traders are often indoctrinated on how marvellous and easy trading is and how they can make so and so amount of cash in a single day. So, these noobs come into trading with that mindset. A few days down the line, account is blown. The process is repeated until they learn or quit in bitterness.

There are numerous ones to remember. However, the pleasant experiences are more than the bad ones.

Still, it's not yet "free money" until you've sold off. Profit seen on screen isn't profit taken. I've seen several instances where tokens rise in price only for them to slump and in some cases, become worthless in price value.

Well, I think taking profit is something that's subject to individual disposition and. For instance, I like to take profit by piece meal on the average of 25% on my investment or I do something like 95% if I think that token is going to scam or abandoned. I do not sell just for the fashion of it.

I don't think there's a one-size-fits-all type of response in this as it's different strokes for different folks. People come to this forum with different intentions in mind and it will really not be easy trying to streamline everyone's attitude. As that may be, I don't think it's necessary for newbies to stake their wallet addresses here. They should grow their accounts first before anything. The most important thing newbies should do is read and read to gain knowledge and then respect the rules and regulations of this forum to stay out of trouble.

First off – there's no shortcut to wealth anywhere, cryptos inclusive. It can happen but that's by chance. The number of it happening is really infinitesimal. To be rich in cryptos, you don't have to be greedy to the point of bloating your expectations. By that I mean, you don't expect your $100 investment to afford you something like 1000% as ROI. It can also happen but don't let such be your expectations. You've to learn and know when to take profit. You can do that percentage sales of let's say 25% per each sale. Don't sell off everything whenever you're taking profit. Leave something on the table. The last, only gems can fetch you unimaginable ROI but you've to know how to identify these gems. This is where research becomes important.

What else will he do, resurrect like a cat with nine lives? Well, if that user comes back here that it will be under disguise. Otherwise, it's another ban for them.

The internet didn't become a thing in my country until the year 2000 or so. Before then, no one would believe anyone could make money staying at home. It was unimaginable because that would be like expecting to get money in the thin air. The belief in the pre-internet era was for people to work hard to earn. This day, it has moved from that to "work smart."

Lol. Did your father understand what you meant by "bitcointalking" then? I wouldn't put it that way. I would rather tell them (or anyone) that I'm into online biz. I guess you're enjoying it here. BTW, if you prefer online jobs to offline ones you could throw yourself into online businesses too to increase your sources of earning. It's important you don't put all your eggs in a single basket.

Except your friend is a conservative trader who waits for price to go up and then sell. Wait again to buy from the dip to sell again when price goes up. Repeat. Traders like your friend only get to trade and get profitable when the market is on the rise. That's spot trading. Futures traders trade every single day they want whether price is rising or falling and still make profit. However, if your friend was talking about traders getting lucky in trades I will say yes there are days like that. Those days are days when traders wait patiently for their setups to hit and not forcing trades to come to them. Apart from that, I don't believe trading is about luck. No, it's not. It's purely about getting the set skills right and being patient enough to trade one's setups.

That bank ban is so much relaxed now that we've almost forgotten there was a time it happened. Even the P2P engagements all go through the banks because payments are made in fiat. All we do is skip the narration part. Putting crypto related tag in that column for narration was what implicated so many crypto traders' bank accounts when that ban happened as they got frozen. Again, concerning what OP mentioned about the ease of transacting in Bitcoin as against fiat; that's absolutely true. I've weighed all the fiat and Bitcoin transactions I've done and discovered that Bitcoin transactions were less stressful for me. Things like that will continue to make Bitcoin more relevant and in demand.

You raised quite a number of interesting issues there. Some of which I've observed myself. On the restriction posting in the Altcoin board, I think it may not be solely a decision taken solely by the managers but in conjunction with projects they're promoting. It's a case of he who pays the piper calls the tune. I like your decision not to get into bounties. Trust me, most of the projects there are a waste of time. It's a regular occurrence there for hunters to get cheated out of their rewards, either by managers or the projects being promoted. Besides, token rewards are often worthless after payment as most of them don't eventually get listed on exchanges. The discrimination thing you talked about in respect to posting is because no one likes reading spam posts. I don't like it too. So, if I know or believe a particular section of this forum is highly dominated with spam posts; why would I want to visit it then?

OP if your complaint (indirectly) is that those accounts are related farmed accounts, the best place to make that complaint should be
Known Alts of any-one. There are users there who are gifted and will be willing to dot the "i"s and cross the "t"s for you, speedily.

What's even wrong with humanity? So, your issue with Yahoo is that he didn't show gratitude to you or sing your praises and loud it that you gave him cash? What's the place of silently giving alms that you don't understand? It's bad enough that you're trying to kick a guy that is down. Health issues are something anyone can be faced with. That you don't have any now doesn't mean you're above having it. Quite this childish attack. If you've evidence that Yahoo is deceitful on this, provide them or else hold your peace and be calm.

I don't know any sane person that will want to patronise a painted account. I checked the user's profile and saw that they were already tagged in previous years. At the moment, they've only got just one tag for this act of claiming they're an admin. So, chances of anyone falling for farlack's antics is highly infinitesimal. Thank you for disrupting them more.

I think the tags are enormous enough for warning the community. That account is already destroyed even without banning it.
