Okay the image below details chats with a friend of mine who felt victim to a scam While he intended to outshine a scammers on disguise of not being knowledgeable enough with his wallet containing $420.
So the owner of the wallet got his wallet seed phrase exposed to a platform as he seeks for guide about his wallet. So that of my friend took a fast finger by login in to the wallet using the seed phrase to gain access to the wallet where he was mind-blowing and hope to steal the $420 in the wallet but was requested send atleast $7 to move the fund. Maybe that was for a gas fee which I don't know.
So he sent $7 to the wallet and just in seconds the $7 was moved to another wallet.
Then my guy find out it's a multisig wallet that you'll pass through processes before possibly withdrawal the so attractive $420.
This my guy checked on the wallets transaction history and found the owner of the wallet is a scammer and has been using that method to scam people as he learnt hundreds of transaction as he was victimized was processed in there.

                  The chat is revealed below.

Well. I brought this thread up to the board due to our Nigeria slang that "Guy man no dey guy guy man". So obviously there "Guy man don guy guy man"

Did we also learnt something about this story? I think it's karma that struck this my guy. Who knows how many vulnerables he has dubious while trying to help them with their crypto wallets.
This should also serve as lesson not to trust anyone with your wallet seed phrase because even your relatives can betray you.

Exactly as the title says, "What does privacy mean to you?" Of course, a lot of us claim that we are privacy lovers and we support privacy, but to an extent, some people have taken privacy very seriously, which is one thing I commend very much.
 
I have been touring around this forum, and I see a lot of comments from some people regarding how careful they are with their assets (bitcoin); their seed phrases and private keys are so private to them that they do not share them with anyone, but that brought me to this question: Are people really aware of unforeseen circumstances? What if something happens to you? Who will be able to handle your assets when you're no longer there? and the question usually ends up with people speaking of inheritance and not the exact thing I wanted to hear.
For instance, someone said he doesn't trust anyone to tell them his private key or anything close to his assets, but how do you all conceive this message?
 
How can one be in a relationship (wife and children) if you cannot trust anyone in your family to the extent of telling them anything about your investment? This got me worried; hence I decided we should discuss it here. I know weird relationships exist, but is it to this extent?

Personally I’m finding it difficult to believe a billionaire can go broke due to the worse state of an economy. When I mean broke. To the extend of selling off properties and barely afford a living.
Asking from this question because I know of a billionaire who right now is going about asking people for help because he has gone broke.
People said he went broke due to the way the economy turned out this he tells people who are close to him. On hearing this I felt there was something else behind this man’s success when maybe didn’t end well for him. Because how can the bad state of an economy cause you to go broke. It’s difficult to believe.

Now this are what I guess could be the cause but he just doesn’t want to tell people the truth.
- Maybe his fortune was base on ritual, just maybe.
- Maybe he went in to some kind of business deal and was duped
- Or maybe he didn’t manage his resources properly
Please you can share any reasons you think might has been the cause since I’m still not convinced that the bad state of the economy cause this said billionaire to go broke

In just a few years, Bitcoin has become a powerful financial alternative that has taken an important place with valuable assets like the dollar and gold and has become the crypto industry as an alternative to the traditional financial system.

If you had invested $1000 in Bitcoin in January 2024 and held it until now, you would have seen a 120% increase in this one year. If you had kept $1000 in Bitcoin in 2020, this invested asset would have grown by 1220% in these few years and if you had kept $1000 in Bitcoin since 2013, its growth would have been 146,714% today and this information is quite surprising and it is a fact that investors have been properly rewarded over time by investing in Bitcoin. That is why it is recommended to hold multiple cycles to take the growth of the invested capital to a stronger position with the revolutionary increase in the price of Bitcoin.

When we talk about investment allot of person's don't take it serious but is the key and most important thing when it comes to life, allot of person's are regretting today because they didn't take the advice of financial experts and analyst when they where telling them about investing in those days where they where having money.
 The fact about life is that nobody will stay in the top for ever so now that you're working and making money this is the right time for you to invest in a business either a long term investment or investment at will not last for a long time, because one day we all will leave that office and position that we find ourselves
Invest today for a brighter tomorrow

I would like to discuss this here to understand how many people decide to take this step to find a mentor?

I asked myself this question because in almost every book or interview with successful people I come across a mention of them having, or even currently having a mentor who guides them, helps them develop, and perhaps points out mistakes that will not allow them to grow.

And I was interested in how many of you at some point decided that you needed a mentor, how difficult it was to find one and how did he help you? I suppose that few people use this, maybe even out of fear, because for example I don’t even know who it could be and how can I ask my future mentor about this if I manage to find such a person.

And maybe some of you have been a mentor for other people? Share your experience too, if it is not too much trouble for you.

I was having a conversation with my friends about crypto currencies and they asked me a question about why Bitcoin price is very expensive and people are still investing in it but other altcoins are still low but people are having a double mind to invest in it.
I didn't talk much I told them that, that was how it was with Bitcoin when it started but deep down me I wanted to give them more reasons but I was short of words so I guess my people here still have something more to say so I would love to hear from you so I can tell them when this topic arise again.

Why is bitcoin becoming more expensive and people are buying it instead of altcoins?

I'll give you a very simple answer to your question.

If you knew something is performing well and everybody is talking about it, even presidents, would you ignore it and buy something that's under performing and most people have not heard about?
Let's take ETH. It used to be much more popular in 2021 and worth more than it is today. Why would I choose ETH over BTC knowing that?

If I had ETH and BTC and saw ETH being worth less than it was 4 years ago, while BTC has reached a new ATH, I'd sell my ETH and buy more BTC and that's what people are doing and that's why bitcoin is going up and many altcoins still struggle below their 2021 highs.
