Infact wen OP start dis thread and I see am I get my doubts about di authenticity of di news, dat na why I no de in a hurry to make post for inside. I say make I watch and see how our people go respond to di matter first before I go make my own comment, make I no go de criticize wetin I no de sure about. But so far from di comments wey I don read so far, nobody de sure weda na authentic news because if our banks begin to facilitate crypto transactions e go be trending news.

Our government no ban cryptocurrency but we suppose to de use sense de do our p2p transactions by not mentioning anything cryptocurrency for di transaction description. Dem fit to flag your account for just mentioning cryptocurrency, so we need to de very careful. Abeg we suppose to de verify information very well before we go share am for forum so that we no go unintentionally mislead other members.

Like most gamblers when they were starting out I thought that I can always beat the house after a few trials but it turns out to be the opposite most of the times. With time I understood that from my experience and other gamblers that losing is a good part of gambling. You can't beat the casinos on the long run, loses are inevitable, it's a part of the survival of casinos and we as gamblers have to accept it. What we have a control over is the amount that we choose to gamble with, it's better that it is something that we can afford to loose, anything more is increasing the risks of losing it.

It all comes down to what we can conveniently afford at any given time, an iphone is not what you buy everyday but before buying you need to ask yourself if it's a priority to you. If it makes your work faster or it has some features that enhances your output then buy it not minding that it's expensive. If you can't afford it or you're buying just for luxury or to feel rich, then it's not a good financial decision. If you're not financially capable to buy an iphone and owning it does not add value to you, it's best you buy an Android phone that you can afford. Use your hard earned money that you want to lavish on it to invest in a profitable asset like Bitcoin, wait for bull run and buy it with your profit, while your capital is still intact.

I gambled for the first time when I was very young, I wanted to win a football, I ended up losing all my money and never won the ball. It left a lasting impression on my mind about gambling that it was a bad habit until I grew up and gave it another try. Most of us entered with the mindset of winning big after a few trials but the fact is that it doesn't happen often, it takes luck to win. I don't know if anybody is born with a special ability to always be lucky because they will make a lot of money in gambling. Luck happens by chance and if you're in the right place at the right time you will grab the reward

Satoshi, created Bitcoin and disappeared to proof that Bitcoin doesn't need an owner or a centralized authority to own it. The essence of Bitcoin will be lost if it where ever to be printed like a physical cash, then it'll have a central bank to monitor and regulate it. What makes Bitcoin to be different from fiat is that it is decentralized and have a limited supply, it goes against everything that fiat represents. Bitcoin don't have to be printed as physical cash to become a global currency, it's adoption is increasing very fast and in years to come I believe that p2p transactions will become very common like fiat.

Knowledge is essential for people that wants to go into sports betting, you need to understand analysis and odds, if not you'd be betting blindly. Casino games are quite different you don't need much knowledge to gamble on a slot machine but in sports bet there's need for a level of understanding. I can also agree that knowledge about sports bet is more important than the popular saying that we should use amounts that we can afford to loose to gamble. Without knowledge of what you want to bet your small money on it wouldn't make any sense so understanding is first before money.

We cannot know a person's character in online gambling because nobody is monitoring your mood or actions but some character traits can show in physical gambling. Some gamblers can be loud and complain a lot if they're not winning, you can tell that the person can be a complainer by nature. If a person is calm even while losing their money you can also conclude that they are gentle people by nature. But judging people by their temperament while gambling can be deceptive because they can choose to control themselves at the point of gambling, it might only be applicable when they're gambling. Composure in gambling doesn't mean that the person is gentle in other things, people can be calm it doesn't mean that they're good people.

Thanks for di very important reminder because many newbies wey just enter Bitcoin investment fit to decide to use almost all dem income to de DCA. In di end dem go come sell di BTC prematurely most times at a loss to take money solve some pressing problem. Investors need to plan to hold Bitcoin for a long term inorder to de get ROI for bull circles. To achieve long term investment plan you need to get budget for your income and you go first comot money for your primary needs like food, transportation and rent. Bitcoin investment go fall into your secondary needs, you go get discretionary funds and na from there miscellaneous expenses, emergency and investment funds go come out. Proper financial management de important for everybody so that we go de plan how to disburse money into things wey de necessary for us.

It's not only gamblers that gets angry and disturbed when things are not going how they planned, a person that has anger issues will exhibit it anywhere. A gambler that is composed will not show anger and frustration when they lose all their money, they will remain calm and composed. The guy in the OP story is not a responsible gambler because was not supposed to use money that was budgeted for something else to gamble. People should really understand that gambling is not a short cut to double your money, it's a place where you try your luck to win (increase) your money but there is no guarantee that you will win.

I don't know if there's a 100% reliable way to convert your coins to fiat, you just have to be on your guard at all times. A reputable exchange is not a guarantee that a marchant won't try to scam you, if you detect and follow the right procedure like you did you will get your money's worth in fiat. Some marchants try cheap scams by underpaying you and if you detect they'll claim that it was a mistake so be vigilant while doing p2p. Direct p2p remains the most convenient but not always reliable if you don't know and trust the second party. Another reliable means could be if Banks facilitate crypto transactions in your country. Be very careful about crypto platforms that have not gained reputation, there are higher chances of being scammed. Your crypto security is in your hands there is no most reliable way to convert your coins to fiat.

You need reserve funds for businesses and emergencies but gambling doesn't fall into either categories so I don't think that it's necessary to have a gambling reserve fund in your account. The effect of a gambling reserve will be to over gamble because you wouldn't stop when your budgeted amount exhausts. You might keep chasing loses till you deplete the reserve if you're not lucky to win, that is why I believe that it's not worth keeping. Deposit the amount that you feel comfortable to loose at anytime that you want to fund your account.

People who are afraid or lazy to try new things can remain stagnant and not achieve much in life, if you learn to explore you can achieve so much more. Most rich people don't depend on only one source of income, they diversify and get a skill or a side job then ultimately they invest in a valuable asset like Bitcoin. If what you're doing is not giving you the type of results and lifestyle that you think you deserve, you need to think outside your comfort zone and look for better opportunities. You can't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result, always try to improve yourself and position yourself for greater opportunities.

People who can sit and game for a very long time are the younger ones who don't have any financial responsibilities, they have the time and energy for it. People that earn from these gamings are the exceptions, if you're getting financial benefits then it becomes a job. It is true that these games are very addictive and because of the long hours that is dedicated to it, players need to have self control. There should be limits to everything in life, overdoing can lead to health issues sooner or later so yes, discipline or control is important in gaming, gambling or whatever we do to stay happy.

You can trade anywhere that is comfortable and has an internet connection, whether it's in your home, office or in transit. What matters is if you're in a conducive environment where there's no distractions. As somebody mentioned on this thread if you're traveling outside your country you need to understand whether your exchange is enabled in that country or region. Internet based jobs are becoming very popular because you don't have to be restricted in an office to do your job, anywhere you are you can connect to the world with ease and convince.

Thank you for raising dis serious concern about cryptocurrency related kidnaps and robberies, di think de gradually get out of hand. For now na for Europe, and America, we de get dis reports about dis physical crypto crimes, who knows when di menace go reach Nigeria, because our people sabi copy bad things. Although I hope say di trend no go enter Nigeria, because we get unimaginable security chalanges for di country, especially kidnaping, banditry and terrorism.

We no need to wait until e enter before we go try to protect ourselves from physical attacks based on our crypto holdings. Di solution na to take our privacy and security very seriously, and e go start by not making our crypto holding public so that we no go become victims of kidnapers and robbers. Remember say Nigeria, no de as advanced as European countries and America, to fight crime so make we de priotize our personal security by keeping low-key on our crypto stash

Scratch games are 100% based on luck so if you're up for the marathon you need to prepare your mind for it because you will get a lot of discouragements along the way if you don't win. It is important to have the mindset of doing it for fun and that is why you must always use amount that you can afford to loose. This is not like sports bet where you get to analyze to increase your chances of winning so do not have any high expectations to win anytime soon, it might take a day, few weeks or years, you must have patience. I wish the OP luck and looking forward to his updating us as promised but let him not put himself under any pressure, he can stop at anytime he wishes to.

Your desire to get married and not have any kids might be considered a taboo in the olden days, they might think that you are somehow not normal to make such a decision. Just like in the past nobody can come out to say that they were gay, it was a taboo, it still is in some cultures. But in this age people are more open about their desires and I've heard people like you who don't wants to have kids and we have to respect everybody's decisions. As a man you have to find a woman that wants the same thing but I don't think that it'll be easy to find because most women will like to have one or more children at some point in their lives. I wish you luck in your search for your perfect match, I want to believe that a woman is somewhere also looking for a man like you.

Anyhow you look at a football match the referees have a lot of influence in it, if they're are biased in a match they can make very little decisions to favor their preferred team. It's quite hard to pinpoint if a referee is intentionally making a wrong decision because we're humans and cannot always be 100% precise at every point. Although it's sad that we hear about players and officials that are suspected of match fixing and it shows that such incidents do happen. The consolation is that what the players and officials do on the pitch are being monitored and they can be sanctioned if found guilty.

I agree with you, most of us didn't choose gambling for fun because that is the only thing we want from it, we chose it out of necessity. If you are gambling basically to make money you can push yourself to addiction because of the house edge, there's always high chances of losing than winning. Maybe you can hit the jackpot and quit for good but you don't know when that is going to happen and you can keep chasing loses and never win big. The best strategy to gambling is to use amount that you can afford to loose so you can enjoy and not put too much pressure on yourself to win.

Recently wen I de visit speculation board for dis forum I de see threads wey center on predictions about wen we go see di next ATH. E de be some of us like say make e be today today and now now wey Bitcoin go surpass di current ATH and make e just de skyrocket de go. Di reality be say Bitcoin na unshakable, e be like big masquerade wey dem no de push around anyhow, our sentiments and predictions no de enough to change im price.

When Bitcoin recently touch $105k I see speculations wey predict say na within di week we go see new ATH but today e don retrace back to $101k as I de type dis post. My point be say make we no carry all our minds put for Bitcoin price speculations because e fit to fail us. Na demand and supply de determine price and e fit to go either side at anytime. Many of us de very optimistic say we still de for inside bull run and na normal thing say we go de get corrections along di way to di peak of ATH. But di reality be say nobody know exactly when bear run go start, we fit to hear one negative global news wey go just trigger am at anytime.

Some people de predict ATH to reach $150k some carry am put for $200k, and above, e fit to happen or e no go happen na just speculations all of dem be. My advice be say if you want to sell at di peak of dis bull run to make plenty profit make you no put all your trust for anybody ATH predictions because demsef no sure.
