[Bitcoin] A little piece of advise on this festive period.

[Padi24]

There's a saying that goes like this, "you can't eat your cake and have it back." And another one that says, "he who fails to plan is planing to fail." What am driving at with this few parables is that, those person that wants to spend all the money they have save for the Christmas celebration, they will definitely feel regret by next year when they realize that they can quickly get back all the money they spent. Secondly is the person that thinks that planing is time wasting, such person will not knew the  need of the advice you gave until it's over for them.

I know most people will work according to what op has said but I'm concerned about those who are not here because they might completely lost their mind by now, during this time last year I guy wasexcited to a point where he exhaust everything he has in his bank, on January things was very hard for him to an extent where he was begging for food so this are the consequences of spending beyond limit and I believe the guy has learnt his lesson as he will want to be extremely careful this time to avoid going through hard times on January. I'm also passing this as a big note of warning to everyone here I'm not saying that we shouldn't spend but it is advised to set a limit before doing that so that we don't over step boundaries.

[durg0319]

Na true thing you talk, this festive period go really chop person money like mad oo. I don even draw out my spending budget sef for this period, whether na gifts oo, food I don wirte am down. Anything way pass this budget whey I don write so, I no dey spend shi shi be that oo. Person gat dey careful with way he wan dey carry spend money, better know your limits and be strict with it .

[MainIbem]

Make I add some little advice to the ones wey you don advice.

For this Christmas period, be security cautious. Tell your people the kind walka wey you want walka with your friends. No go d Cruz around, thinking sae nothing the happen "something d happen oohh for this our nations'' insecurity full everywhere.

Another advice wey I carry come be sae, make you no go d discuss or advise family and friends to invest in Bitcoin or begin to tell them you d into crypto. Keep that kind gist for yourself, so that peso no go invest in Bitcoin because you ma d into am, and they wan do as you do. That one no go follow ooh because they lacks the basic knowledge

Concerning being security cautious, wetin you just cap na the koko be that, i dey always share my live location to my loved ones when I dey travel or go place wey I no dey very familiar with for visitation or so and I urge everybody wey go come across this thing wey I talk to follow similar safety precautions. to tell people the kind waka you wan make no be bad idea but no be anyhow person you go tell but your family members or trusted friends, and like I done talk before now, to share live location too make sense. Also, i wan include say make people wey done hold for long no go dey spend their Bitcoin anyhow because say na festive period, that one na big financial mistake.

My little piece of advice wey me wan yan una be say as we dey spend make we try know say get few days to january and that month wey dem call January be like 3 months inside 1 month because during january period days do no longer approach quickly to each others as we know, and pipo wey don already spend everything dem get for xmas take joli fit dey empty handed till towards the month end wey dem go pay dem again, especially for the civil servants who are under government or companies should be wise while making spending.

This exact scenario is always mostly experience by government workers and in most cases company workers, of which one of the major reason that usually case this is simply because of the early salary that is usually paid before Christmas day 25th December for people to be able to afford rice and chicken and enjoy with their respective families as they celebrate Christmas and the new year. And in most cases, this salary usually finish at the first week of January, after they might have done dirty December merriment, partying and clubbing. And when you are broke at the first week of January, it usually make the month longer than usual. Hence, the need why it's important people spend responsibly, knowing fully well that they have longer days before the next salary will be paid.

How una dey yan 4 una area na? Abeg make we no forget say this period na jollification period where we go spend plenty money for family and friends around us, just to make sure say we live happy and pleasing everyone around us.
My little piece of advice wey me wan yan una be say as we dey spend make we try know say get few days to january and that month wey dem call January be like 3 months inside 1 month because during january period days do no longer approach quickly to each others as we know, and pipo wey don already spend everything dem get for xmas take joli fit dey empty handed till towards the month end wey dem go pay dem again, especially for the civil servants who are under government or companies should be wise while making spending.

This na really good talk you don yarn. We have always seen people complain about how January seems to be longer than other months but I don't think it has any difference from other months because it has 31 days just as other months. Just that December salary is being paid early because of Christmas and new year and most of it is being used during the holidays. People don't usually plan for January that's why they see January as a long period because they started the month without money.

Di mistake wey piple dey make na say Dem no dey budget anything keep for January na why di month dey long for their eyes. Well na because say joy full body na why people dey spend all their money for Xmas and new year.

As we dey shop make we set outside emergency funds, or funds that is actually keep up for urgencies which pesin fit dip dem hand take sort out things wey dem need immediately.

I say make I bring this one come we board, at least you fit leave some portion of bitcoin into your portfolio instead to use am finished to enjoy life, abeg make una stay safe anywhere una dey as this period many things dey happen as we supposed no lose guard onto say anything fit sup.

Na true talk you bring, make we try set aside money for other expenses outside the celebration and also just include things you might need after the celebration so at least you have something to live on after the celebration. I swear e good as you bring this idea for people because many get carried away from the joy of the celebration.

[Umulala-alala]

Your advise dey good there period na activities dey many inside different kinds of occasions e get people way dey regret after them don spend finish but no how way you go careful reach this month way you no go spend money. E just good make person get money this time because na jollification month be this, honestly i dey feel for people way no hold small funds this xmas period most of them dey feel intimidated.

Na true talk be dat, as ebi sey jollification no dey finish, dis exmax period na so so spending wey we dey spend and other responsibilities still dey ground after dis exmax. I no sey dis exmax period, we go show love to some of our relations, friends and even organize some party sef. All dis thins no dey bad as we dey only celebrate exmax once in a year but make we no forgot ourselves go dey over spend money or dey spend money for thins dem wey no dey very necessary.

Like you dey Yan here, di month of January no dey easy at all e dey long and as ebi sey people don spend money well well that one dey make am dey tough for money side. From January, school too go open and people go bigin to dey pay school fees for children, buy books and pay other levies too. Na dis thins go make us no over spend money for dis exmax period so dat ego easy for us for January.

For dis moment, I wish everyone for dis naija board merry Christmas and happy new year in advance.

The boss man watin you dey cab us they very legit Shea, Christmas time way you see so na a time of jollyment and if you no dey careful you go flex every every finish and when January way be the real raining day's, I mean the real hardtime when that time comes you begin sit down look inside hungry, you begin dey find where you go borrow money wey no surpose belike that, everything things na calculation so make we set our mathset wella so as to know how to run am wella.

Furthermore, So on how things be for this Xmas eh e go make sense for us to dey very careful on how we dey run our expenses packages, how we they enjoyed our self make we no spend every thing finish because January of a truth e no dey easy at all.

[Makus]

The yuletide season is a period of joy and spending it with our loved ones, it is normal to make some expenses but try not to spend extravagantly because the new year awaits with new expenses. no matter how you spend this month make sure that you are on a budget that you don't exceed, a alot of people say that the reason why they overspend is because of the family's needs, that's understandable but you shouldn't allow pressure from every family member make you spend more than what you actually planned to spend this month

Every end of the year dey always full with festivity for Nigeria. Ranging from marriages, to holidays and the Xmas celebrations also. This period, both Muslims and Christians dey follow they celebrates many things. As all Christians dey celebrate Xmas, must muslims dey tie the knot to as na this period many of their people wey go grave occasions dey always dey free from their places of work. As we dey pray for better days, make we also dey very vigilant for this period as na time wey thing wey dey negative dey sup pass and go for affect our lives also.

Being security conscious is very important this period. Lastly, as we dey jolificate, make we no go touch money wey we no suppose touch use celebrate o, I mean bitcoin investment no be where you go wan go pack money do anyhow as you like. You no invest am for that purpose, so make you still no go spend am anyhow.

[Zanab247]

Thank u for this your advise OP. This advise will really help people not to spend pass themselves in this festival celebration. E go good make people spend wisely through out this festival, because after Christmas and new year there is another hunger to face in d month of January, and no body no wether BTC price will still pump higher to enter bull run for people to sell to make another profits or there will be massive dump. I no say many people will like to travel with their family to d village to celebrate this festival with their family, but it doesn't mean people will sell all their BTC, because is not advisable for people to sell all their BTC to celebrate this festival.

I sell small BTC that will allow me and my entire family to celebrate this festival in peace without depend on anybody, which is my heart desire toward this festival.

I don't see anything wrong with people and how they plan to spend their money. Since na all of us get different plans for this December, I wan make we chop life ans enjoy ourselves because this life no even get part two. People wey make money supposed enjoy am too and everything not supposed be about saving and investing. Bible even talk am say their is time for everything and na watin I want make people understand make they no kon they over do why advising us to spend our money wisely.

This is a time to spend with our loved ones, it is normal for the expenses to be relatively high at this time, but it is better to spend according to our plan. During this time, a little more money is spent to meet the needs of family members, but we have to take care not to spend more than necessary. I think it is relatively good to spend what is not necessary. Along with wishing everyone good health, this Christmas we celebrate with our loved ones.

In as much as everyone is in title of how well they spend their hard earned money it's  also advisable you spend with brain, you don't have to spend recklessly with the mindset that is your money and that you have the right do what ever pleases you , money are not easy to get so If you are  privilege in having some in your possession treat or handle with Care because if you aren't careful the way you go spending it all the name of Christmas jolliment then you will have your self to be blamed when things take another turn.

Secondly, you made mention of it is not all about saving and investing, that's is a very bad statement especially coming from you as a newbie that is very new in the system and yet to see more in the Bitcoin journey. Even though life is one and for some times one needs to enjoy his or her self but not  at the edge of risking what you have worked so hard to build, but in all wisdom is the key in situations like this.

This one na mistake way most people de like make, forgetting say tomorrow de, you just want eat everything finish today. That one no be life. E de ok to jolificate yourself oh, cause normally, e no easy for man to work through the whole year, and at the end of year, say make em no eat well, that one na no good, but make we remember say if everything finish now, and nothing de to eat later or tomorrow, Na from there another hungry go start. Person way suffer for life go learn how to make sure say the same thing no happen for the second time, as we de hear am say, experience is the best teacher. But e better say we learn from people experience than for we to be the victim.

This na the normal thing wey dey happen for naija mainly the average and low class because dem no get proper planning for festive periods like this all dem want be sey make dem selves follow for the celebration since na once a year but dem forgot sey dem fit suffer through out the whole year, but as a wise bitcoin investor you nor fit spend all your money for celebration because you self you as e dey be sey for bitcoin you no dey spend all your money like that, you need to keep reserves to support your life in all aspects so that you nor go regret am come put hand for your investment wey you don dey gather since, na sens people dey take spend for this kind of season.

E they very important for you to do so ooh because e go help keep the person safe, even if na the must trusted friend or family friend way person they go see, make them tell person or there family say na this particular person them won go visit so that when the person done stay more than the way e they always stay outside them go either call or go to the persons house to ask for there brother or sister, a lot of people are always with there privacy mood of keeping wherever they go away from anybody to no, make the person drop that lifestyle this December so that them no go learn in an unimaginable way.

Make them enjoy, any person where run out of cash should contact me for quick top up, at least none interest loan, not in Naira but bitcoin I no get strength to exchange ammm, sarcastic isn't it, but to be Frank with you 2025 is one of those years that we will remember as a community, alot of positive development happened in out localboard,  and none of our members pass away we don't have any reason to do crowd funding for any member emergency.

So if na flexing own, I believe say our people to arrange themselves well for the season, and I wish everyone the best of this time.

Hope that 2026 will even be more better with more bitcoin in the wallets and enough of good health and vibes,  merry Christmas to all the bitcointalk naija localboard community.

Normally na, this na the best way to stay safe but people no understand this thing, them feel say them be strong people nothing wan happen forgetting that we are in a time that humans has decided to be unnecessarily wicked, just as you said, I the tell my bro all my Waka because because na him fit rallly round if em just suspect anything, me I no the play with being open that my bro for many reasons, as telling a random person your Waka, me I no the do that one, since I understand that some people an just closed relatives and friends for mouth, friendship no reach their mind, I just decide to pipe low, this time many evil go happen but have to be careful and I believe say God go help us too.
