I would like to discuss something I have read about France, but it seems that it can happen almost everywhere. The government there wants to cut two public holidays so people work more days. They claim it is to assist in resolving their massive debt issue, but when you examine what is actually occurring, it does not sit well
First, most of the French is opposed to it (eventually). Over 70% answered no to the loss of their holidays. The amount of money that the government would save (approximately 4 billion euros) is relatively little in comparison to the total debt of the country, and it is nearly equal to the amount they are spending additionally on the military. Therefore, individuals are being requested to work longer, yet they will not actually earn more
Most of my friends have had jobs where a day off is worth more than a small bonus. It is not even about money. What matters most to them (and me) are the simple things: family dinners, lazy afternoons, and time to read new ideas or work on new projects or just play games with the community (Yeah, I might talk about our bitcointalk Poker events haha). The governments keep asking normal people to sacrifice, while they avoid the real problems, like how work and taxes are set up
What would you do when your country attempted this? Would you work more days for the same money? Do you believe it does any good?
Or is it just another method of old systems to transfer the pain to ordinary people, and to pretend that things will be better soon?
France canceling two holiday days just to ease them from alot of debt they are holding won't help in reduce it.First, most of the French is opposed to it (eventually).

Instead it would break family's bond because workers won't have enough time for their family members.
I guess another method should be brought in to reduce debts and not this.
1. Bitcoin helps Nigerians escape inflation and protect their wealth:
Bitcoin helps Nigerians escape inflation by allowing them to save money in Bitcoin which holds value better than the Naira, that loses value due to rising prices and devaluation.
For example:
If you were saving 500 thousand naira in a bank in Nigeria far back 2019 till now the money has lost value however saving that same amount in Bitcoin and holding it till date would have added more value to the money equaling it to millions of Naira today.
2. access global financial opportunities:
Bitcoin helps Nigerians to do online business, or freelance globally without needing foreign bank accounts or dollar approval.
A lot of people in Nigeria are now working online and in different countries while still based in Nigeria and payment of salary is then made easy, most of us here receive payment from our different campaign through Bitcoin.

1. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived shortly from 1756 to 1791. He was considered to be one of the most celebrated composers as he toured Europe as a kid to showcase his talent and allowed him to make up quite a fortune. However he had a problem with gambling and he also avoided certain jobs that led him to having massive debt. He was buried in a common grave due to poverty.
https://talkimg.com/images/2025/07/18/UAFD01.png
2. Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States. He had a wonderful career but couldn't control his spending and passed away with massive debts as well. A lot of his property was sold to pay off his debts.

3. Michael Jackson was called King of Pop and unfortunately passed away in 2009. His songs remain to be culturally relevant however at the time of his passing he passed away with around 500 million dollars of debt. Due to this, many of his assets were sold to pay for his debts.
The lesson I got from looking at all these influential people is you can be exceptional in your field but if you do not know how to manage your money you might just die penniless. I personally do not want to pass away after suffering from poverty. I want my last days to be spent in bliss.
There are other people in the list but I only chose three.
So why is it so that they were once wealthy and later died as been broke?

Was it that if they might have invested on things like BTC, ETH and the rest things couldn't have been worst for them?
Do you notice that so many people are into content creation these days? Everyone is always filming something and posting it in hopes of gaining views, likes and followers. Once they have enough audience, they can start earning from their page and this is what is their biggest motivator. There are people who have day jobs that don't pay enough so they try their luck in content creation.
Now, I am seeing many more kids just get into it right away instead of trying to find other traditional jobs. The older generation do not even consider this a real job. But do you think, as lucrative the industry is, will it survive? Will it continue to be a good source of income? If you are struggling financially, have you ever considered content creation? Does content creation offer anything to the economy?
Yeah, content creation helps alot in the aspect of building networking especially on relevant posts.Now, I am seeing many more kids just get into it right away instead of trying to find other traditional jobs.

Re: Is the altcoin season actually here, or are we still early?
With BTC still below its all-time high and ETH pushing up, it feels like some altcoins are starting to show real moves. Market dominance is shifting a bit, and some projects are waking up after a long quiet period.
Please what is the full meaning of ETH and how does it contribute to altcoin board in terms of trading?
I’m wondering if this is the start of the altcoin season or if it’s too soon to say. Some coins are definitely green and gaining traction, but the market’s still shaky overall.
What’s your take? Are we in for a big alt season this year, or is it just early signs of something bigger down the road?

There are a lot of risky things in cryptocurrency, but if it actually works well for someone, it's going to be good money. For example, check airdrop tokens; some people buy at the pre-market price before it's listed or launched on any CEXs. Sometimes it goes their way when they list at a higher price than the price they bought it, while sometimes they regret taking that decision.
The second one is pre-deposit, which most exchanges like Bitget, Binance, MEXC, and more do in collaboration with project listings, allowing people who participate to have a chance to get a good reward, like sharing $10k worth of Nero tokens as a reward just for depositing it.
I think the third one is public sales, too. Pump.fun did its own, which I participated in, and we almost cried because the coin seemed to be going down and losing money until some tier exchanges announced it and started going up before it was later listed. In all of these, which one would you advise someone to go for without any panic?

So how can a trader eclxcape the risk of losing his or her money in altcoin?
Someone said that Bitcoin is for the rich, but that's not completely true. It might feel like Bitcoin is for the rich due to the media focuses on celebrities and billionaires buying and benefiting from Bitcoin. This creates a perception that Bitcoin is a rich person's asset. Even during network congestion, fees can spike making small transactions very expensive. But let's not forget that Bitcoin is neutral, it can empower the rich or help lift the poor, it actually depends on how communities adopt it. So understand that Bitcoin is for everyone, you can buy tiny fractions, not until you afford a whole Bitcoin.
How many tiny fractions can a biginner in bitcoin is advice to start with in this journey of bitcoin? Good day, my forum members and expertise here.
As an experienced investor or businessperson, your knowledge would be helpful in this aspect.
When we talk about business, we refer to an enterprise that has to do with the buying and selling of goods with the aim of meeting a customer's needs and then selling to your own targeted profits.
Business also requires energy and daily activities just to interact with your customers. While investment serves as an asset or aim of future profit or returns but due to market fluctuations and volatility, investment returns go hand in hand with high risks.
My questions are:
→How can you relate investment and business?
→Can an investor also be called a businessman?
Your insights would be appreciated.
Investment & business can be related together because they have same aim or goals, which is to make profit at the end.As an experienced investor or businessperson, your knowledge would be helpful in this aspect.

The market has been improving and Trump said this will be a crypto week, which we are experiencing positive movement in the market.
I believe it is time to get back to research mode and explore different Blockchain projects which are solving real issues in the market, and artificial intelligence.
Recently I found out that Qubic, a decentralized L1 network where scalable tech meets artificial general intelligence (AGI) with a purpose built from the ground up, meets what I've been talking about, now it has debuted the market with $199M Mcap, if I can get a way to get the token it will be good, any ideas let me know.
if we thought $150k this year was unattainable, bitcoin is proving us wrong as it reaches almost half of that value
Many factors have contributed to the $123,000 we had, they all make it more sooner than later, so we should also expect that bitcoin is going to $150,000 or something around the corner.
it makes me think what would be next now that bitcoin is reaching prices never been seen before.
Nothing much to expect or change from the norms, all time high is the major reason we are all awaiting to see happened and it's happening already.
will there be a boost of countries finally legalizing bitcoin?
Many countries already legalized Bitcoin use even though they never supported in making investment in it or accepting Bitcoin as a legal tender, anyone into bitcoin is at his own risk

If am not mistaken, I know how NFT was booming in the crypto industry in the year 2022 their about, and considering all the hypes about it, I initially thought that by now, most NFT would be competing with most of these top crypto asset, but fast forward from that time to now, you can bearly hear of NFT in the crypto market, or is that they were over hyped, or it was just a means to make money then?
I don't really knows what happens to the NFT market but I am just curious to the stunt in growth of NFT and what really happens.
Please can I really know about this NFT & what made people to think that they were over hyped & later dropped down in terms of popularity?I don't really knows what happens to the NFT market but I am just curious to the stunt in growth of NFT and what really happens.
Re: Can Bitcoin hold the leadership position for ever because the world changes?
The title question has run through my mind a million times, in the end, the repeated answer is Yes!
Here are why:
1. As pioneer: Bitcoin is a new innovation than any other, the very first blockchain structure wired to function nicely in payment and finance. Such an authentic innovation doesn't die, but stays forever as long as the world remains.
2. Hacking: Bitcoin cannot be hacked.
3. Fairness: The blockchain mechanism ensures fairness among parties, no discouragement.
4. Decentralization: You can own your Bitcoin and have the true possession.
5. Value: Bitcoin is an asset. It has so much value to the point that you can buy it and forget for years to meet huge success goal. This hedges against inflation and increase financial freedom.
6. Intention: Unlike many projects, the intention of the creator was pure, selfless, neutral and genuine. Such system often attracts adopters naturally and give everyone the freedom they deserve.
Seeing all this in regards to bitcoin shows that the rate of advantage is more higher than that of the disadvantage.Here are why:
