Keep Spirituality Out Of Crypto and Focus on Knowledge, Not Prayers.

[Obulis]

Prayer in crypto?
Altogether, I think prayer will harden the discipline required to carry on on long term strategy when market looks unfriendly. As in prayer can be like a psychological anchor when the market swings very seriously. Prayer as a spiritual tool can not necessarily be to stop crashes but can be for mental fortification to endure crashes with less or no panics. Due diligence in crypto should not in anyway be replaced by prayers even as faith can bring peace of mind.

[Yablee0]

do yourself the favour of keeping your spirituality aside and picking it up later coz crypto doesn't respond  to prayers, fasting , visions and whatever spiritual activities....Some folks even go as far as praying and fasting before buying a coin or even even foolishly going to money minded prophets/ prophetess to confirm if they will profit from a crypto  asset. And when that coin later dips, they begin blaming God or whatever spiritual being/ figure that they believe in. Am not God but then I really don't think that God will even waste his time answering such prayer when he has already given you the mind to reason.

It sounds very funny for an investor to ever think prayers or a religious faith can ever have anything to do with Bitcoin investment success that's so unbelievable.  Bitcoin investment didn't work like that perhaps you need to put in some hard work, determination and commitment to make things right, however God got some limit on how he does his things not on some unserious folks that doesn't want to put in work but just want miracle happening.

Moreover, in life their is  never a case of short cut to success, you must make sacrifices and pay a painful price before achieving anything good in life and Bitcoin investment is never exempted, just do want is right as an investor then you see things falling in place for you.

I pity anyone who is doing prayers and fasting in the name of crypto currency because these things don't work that way. This part of the word and spirituality is just something else. If prayer and fasting fixes things that responds to demands and supply, Nigeria economy would have been the best economy in the world because the kind of prayers that are made for our economy every day, no other economy is being prayed for like that.

Anyone going into crypto currency should just know that it is your smartness, calculations and diligence that will make them outstanding.

LoL, although with God impossibility can be make possible. To be frank, whatever thing I'm doing i always mention his name, but before that I will make sure that I do the needful, because God can't possibly help when you have not do the needful. The needful I mean getting the Basic knowledge about that very thing, and also ensure that you take the right step after that, every other thing will be handed over to God. But if you fail to put things in the right place and start hoping that God will fix them for you then you're making a very big mistake. So I can't possibly say that faith doesn't work in this crypto space, because faith works in everything we do but first thing first is having the complete knowledge and also taking the right step.

Your second statement sey, "Due diligence in crypto should not in anyway be replaced by prayers..." na im I grab well. As for d part wey u talk sey prayer fit serve as mental fortification, I nor agree to dat wan. How many pastors wey u sabi wey dey into trading dey hit am big like d likes of Jeffrey, Dapo, Kelly Lewis, Solomon King? Make I nor even talk go too far. E get wan American wey I dey watch from time to time, dude nor dey even mention anything like God but e dey hammer trading wetin nor good and dey withdraw on steady. For trading ehn, na self discipline and skills be d koko. Nothing concern prayer there at all. If u go lose on bad entry, u go lose; if u like dey come back from 40 days fasting on Mount Horeb, e nor concern market.

Just like the biblical verses that says, Faith without work is dead. We can't sit around and put faith that after a certain number years,we have a significant bitcoin Stash without putting some works into play. God wouldn't descend from heaven and begin accumulating bitcoin for us only because we put our faith in Him. Heaven help those who helps themselves. We can't rely on God to accumulate bitcoin for us, instead it is our duty to accumulate bitcoin by ourselves using discretionary income. Discretionary income wouldn't be available if we're lazy relying on God. We must work hard to have a discretionary income after all our basic needs are met.

You have said it all. Prayers are good but it won't open the door to success when there is no effort attached to it. Every person that wants to partake in the opportunity Bitcoin has to offer, must have gone through serious of training, learning,
Prayers will not buy stock for you and tradeas well. Prayers is to me a tool use after preparation for opportunity is made. According to the Christian beliefs that says  I quote. faith is the substance of things hope for and evidence of things not seen. If we refuse to prepare rather foxuse only on prayers, the results might be devastating.

I saw this topic in the Beginners & Hep Section If you are a newbie do not be deceived, God has no relationship with crypto and I waz inspired to bring down something similar to our 9ja board....

Folks really need to stop getting mislead because of their faith, coz cryptocurrency really has no connection with spirituality and it will never will. And as such when you want to invest into any crypto asset, just. do yourself the favour of keeping your spirituaity aside and picking it up later coz crypto doesn't respond  to prayers, fasting , visions and whatever spiritual activities....Some folks even go as far as praying and fasting before buying a coin or even even foolishly going to money minded prophets/ prophetess to confirm if they will profit from a crypto  asset. And when that coin later dips, they begin blaming God or whatever spiritual being/ figure that they believe in. Am not God but then I really don't think that God will even waste his time answering such prayer when he has already given you the mind to reason.

Why not stop wasting your money consulting fake prophets and focus on:

1) Doing Your Own Research( DYOR) before pouncing on any crypto project. Coz cryptocurrency is majorly controlled by physical factors such as a) Demand and Supply. b) Liquidity. c) News events. d) Market Sentiments etc.....

2) Investing only with the extra money that you can afford to lose( Discretionary Income)

3) Understand the level of risk that you can comfortably take and don't overstretch it. For example most folks find it very difficult to invest more than 100k into an asset, flow on with that your mentality, don't go and start putting in your whole 1M or your savings or all your income just because that is what others are doing

4) Accept that most crypto asset can be very volatile even than others

5) Always study the market even though it may be very difficult to predict/ ascertain the market.

Prayer without work na zero, you like you pray from now till they kingdom come and you no work to live your life my brother na die be that oo, because food no dey come down from heaven without prayer, I just sorry for those persons wey dey reason like that and no dey read or do research to know how to progress and enter the next level for crypto, just like person wey know sey trading dey very risky and yet him still dey go trade come dey pray make him money no loss, come abandon bitcoin wey him suppose to invest sey the time too long, because he need sharp sharp money, wetin you expect, that one no be prayer matter na sense matter, the direction is already there for you to follow, so make we do the right thing first den prayer go back our hard work up to dey successful.

There is a saying in our rural areas that if someone takes one step forward towards Allah with good intentions, Allah Ta'ala will take 10 steps forward for him. Although Allah is formless, I am saying this here to explain the word. The bottom line is that God helps those who try to do the right thing. God does not give him everything only if he asks for it from Allah Ta'ala without trying to do it himself. I think if you want to do well in the crypto world, you have to know a lot, you have to gain a lot, there is no alternative.

It is true that nothing can be achieved without hard work, there is a need to have a desire to get something, along with the right knowledge to transform it into real life, along with patience and persistence, success can be achieved by taking a long time. Therefore, the first task of an investor will be to gain the right knowledge about the investment where he will invest and analyze the market, make himself more skilled about that subject and use different strategies, along with prayer, success can be achieved. We have to think reliably keeping in mind our reality, it is better not to think unnecessarily.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

Spirituality in place of work is laughable, the major problem of many individual is issue of 'believes ' having confidence on things that may less contribute to their success. Spirituality in crypto only work if the believe of the individual is channel into work, because faith without works is dead no prayers or incantation will do magic, the logic to succeed in crypto remain that the risk must be taken, and the smartness on investing wisely and being patient enough will not be rooted out as the system can never be quick to get rich. Spirituality only work when all protocol of risk is already has been taken.

Prayers have nothing to do with crypto in all aspects. If you are not disciplined, then forget about it, and prayer is not what will make one disciplined enough to hodl cryptocurrency. One of the things that plays an important role in discipline is understanding. Good understanding gives the real sense of what you are, and understanding what you are doing builds discipline.

When you understand what you are doing and know where you are going, you don't have any choice but to be disciplined because you already know that if you are not disciplined enough to keep calm, you won't be able to reach the destination of your journey and achieve what you want.

OP, you don do well to brings this discussion to this board, one thing I don understand be say na the kind of environment dem grow around wey Dey make them feel like say their faith Dey like Iroko tree and wetin dem go pray about, say God go bring am to their favour. Even bible talk say faith without work na dead or maybe you just start to accumulate crypto come Dey pray say make e Dey pump, nor be so crypto dey work, try Do your own research.

You don believe say God go bless you but you nor gree create the vessel were the blessing go contain. Make una try Dey comot comot spiritual belief when it comes to Bitcoin and try gather that small knowledge to take follow up, e go help you well well, because crypto itself nor send your papa, e go alway do im thing, your own na either say you Dey well prepared or you Dey left out

[icebar]

Everyone who invests in cryptocurrency tries more or less to make good investments by analyzing data and researching, but if someone invests in that investment without gaining knowledge or doing any kind of analysis and only relying on religious thoughts or beliefs, then it will definitely not be easy to profit from that investment. Religious beliefs and crypto investments are not the same thing. Although no one can know about the details in advance, which is why many believe that if they worship religiously or have devotion to religious gurus, it may be possible to make good profits from trading, but in reality, it will be difficult to get positive results through such work. Even if you may profit from one investment, the chances of loss from most investments are higher.

I think we should look at it from both sides... yes i totally agree with you..to be a guru in crypto you need research.. knowledge.. experience and so on.....but still.. spirituality can be helpful too (not necessarily prayers)..don't get me wrong..but "spirituality" is actually "Training your mind" (mainly to work under pressure)..practices like.. Meditation.. breathing exercises.. reflection etc..these are practices (not magic or prayers) that help with stress "mentally"...


With a clear mind,you can work better and more effectively...so I think they both work together...

[Salahmu]

If a foreigner come to Nigeria they would think that it was Nigeria the origin of Christianity come from because they take it to different level, the amount of churches we have could accommodate more the all the people in the country and some Christians believes that there is nothing prayers cannot solve that's why when you are in the neighborhood with such Christians they will always go to prayers when someone has fallen seriously ill, but after the time they will pray  and the sickness keeps getting serious that's when they will take the person to the hospital, I belief in God with faith to heal the sick but our people always see evil forces to be behind everything making them to misconcept a natural sickness to be cause by spiritual.

This is so true and i wonder why more churches are still being registered at the Corporate Affairs Commission and this is why many churches have different doctrines. At every corner you see churches but the westerners that brought Christianity to us have just few churches. However, it's not everything that we should pray about. Prayer is spiritual and if one must pray let it be on a supernatural note. It is even better to leave anything pertaining money out of religion because humans are the ones who made these money so every application of it should be followed with natural knowledge on how to guide and protect it rather than believing in some prophetic declarations by pastors.

They're registering because the cooperate affairs didn't give them any regulations on how many churches that should be in a street or even making sure that they stopped any churches that is not registered on the cooperate affairs because a lot of them are non registered churches and since is a religion people usually don't care to enforce people to go out in making sure no one is operating illegally in the country, so that's why everybody is owning a church in Nigeria. The people who brought the Christianity only believe in one doctrine but we that adopted it began to add our doctrine on it to show something that they warship as was told in the Bible.

I don't agree with you, spiritually for Christians only mean one thing which is to pray and be spiritual prepared for what God has to minister to them or to believe and do what the pastors tells them to do. When you are spiritual and don't know anything about crypto, you will fail badly because the time when some true believers gained unmerited favour is gone, you must have knowledge of what you want to be successful, even the bible said, "study to show yourself approved."

I totally agree with you concerning what you said...but in a way,i think we are both saying same thing.... looking at the Bible verse you quoted "study to show yourself approved"..proves my point...
The Bible verse is actually saying you should go for knowledge first because God expects us to use our brains (not just to pray and hope)

But true spirituality (even Christian spirituality) is not supposed to make you less disciplined but more disciplined.....i think the problem you're tryin to describe is: people who actually pray for crypto gains..but never seek knowledge..(that's laziness disguised as faith)🙄

Yes you can't pray ignorance away.....but you can pray to God to help you focus..and grant you the wisdom and humility to study properly....

No be lie wey you yan mate,personally me I dey like tell people say our God no dey perform magic rather na miracle him dey perform.Prayer na better weapon for a believer life but most believers dey pray and still dey miss out because their prayers no align with God’s will.God dey encourage handwork,na why Him say Him go bless the works of our hands,so you fit just relax to expect bitcoin for your wallet all because you dey pray for am every blessed day,things no dey work like that,just like I talk am before no be magic God dey perform.No let anybody whine you,work and be consistent and back them up with prayers,na the right principle be that.

[Finebone]

If you don see such a thing happen before, I never see am, or hear of anything like that, for peso to pray and fast before buying any crypto coin, when the decision of buying any crypto coin d have in mind, at whatever price rate, d on them to do that.

Wetin you go fit tell me, and I go believe to am na, a crypto investor to tell their prophet to help them pray about the crypto coins they have invested to skyrocket. Which I no see anything in am, for peso to hand their investment for the hand of God to take care of.

Just like what a song writer said, many things are really happening in our society on a daily basis.
Why  will someone with a complete sense decide to replace knowledge with spirituality ?
You can only pray to God to direct you on doing the right thing, but that doesn't mean that you should become spiritual and forget that putting in work to attain knowledge is very important if you want to be successful in what ever you find yourself doing, because faith without work is dead, as is it in the Bible.
So why would someone just believe that he can just enter the market blindly and makes profit consistently without knowing how because he has prayed?
That's ignorance that will be punished brutally by the market movement, because you don't enter the market blindly and start praying, hoping for a miracle to happen, that's gambling in my own perspective.

Prayers won't pump your bag if you don't understand liquidity and market cycle. I also commit my trades to God but it works best after you’ve played your big role, which is proper study, risk management, discipline, and taking calculated steps. Natural before supernatural.
