Your overview @op for sure pictures a core and persistent issue in economics: the migration paradox. Education (formal) fundamentally directs aspirations and opportunity, therefore increasing individuals awareness of the serious income differences between urban and rural wages. This awareness, with the hope of getting a formal job, is a key driver for rural to urban migration.
However, as you clearly noted, this causes a monumental challenge. The modern/formal sector usually cannot generate formal employment enough to employ the plenty of formally educated migrants. This causes the painful results of "formally educated unemployment," where graduates end up unemployed or underemployed in the formal sectors, sometimes in conditions worse than their former rural settlement. High cost of living in the urban compared to the high unemployment or underemployment rate.
Rural to urban migration do not only affect the migrant, it also affects the rural areas by depriving skilled youth, definitely stifling rural development and insinuating a sort of regional inequality.

I used to think being rich was simple: big salary, nice car, maybe some Bitcoin. But as I grow up, I am not sure anymore
In some countries, the numbers are enormous (such as Singapore, Switzerland), and yet everyday life is stressful: long working hours, high rent, and a lack of free time. Meanwhile, other countries such as Norway and Germany are working on making life easier to ordinary citizens: less work, more leisure time, healthier, more trust
I see more and more people (including me and my friends) wondering: Is all the money worth anything when you are tired, stressed, or anxious about the future? In others, youths are unable to secure decent employment and resort to crypto to stay alive, such as in Nigeria. In Guyana, new oil money is helping some, but only if it is managed well
So I ask you:
- Has your life changed with the "growth" of your country?
- Do you feel more secure, or less?
- If you could choose, would you want more money, more time, or more trust in people?

Somehow, being rich is discretionary as per people different responses to life. Someone earnings less than 1k dollars monthly may carry themselves in manners (looking for who to embarrass) that someone earning more 2k dollars would not. Seeing themselves to have arrived which times is not far from seeing being rich to be

But awareness or knowledge is so profound that this riches means little or nothing when you can't enjoy your time and trust.
The example of Germany and Norway @op is a typical example of what it actually means to be rich, lets say little cashflow, but you feel secured, have time for families and friends, settle financial needs (in totality freedom), these might go a long way to even increase life expectancy.
So I ask you:
- Has your life changed with the "growth" of your country?
- Do you feel more secure, or less?
- If you could choose, would you want more money, more time, or more trust in people?
The growth in my country is negligible, so it has caused no positive change in my life. The security is not so good.
I believe this three factors of life (money, time and trust) can blend.
Bet adjustment is actually about the management of risk and emotions. Pursuing after losses through bets increase can be potential danger, because a single wrong turn can erase you. Increasing after a win may feel safe, if you will be betting with the profit, yet it can as well backfire when the streak stop abruptly. From my view, I will prefer staying with consistent bets with slight adjustment, because stability provides better chances of lasting longer to avoid tilt. The concern is securing your bankroll at first, not going after fast swings.
My ideal strategy on bet bankroll is to focus my bet on the bankroll that I have predetermined before the bet or casino games. I cannot increase my bet because I'm winning or that I want to chase loses, I just focus on the bankroll that I have decided to bet with. I can confidently say that my strategy is better than letting emotions to swing you to make decisions that cannot control the outcome. Why increase your bet when gambling is not a business that you're sure that you will make profit, just make budgets with the amount that you can afford to loose.The emotions to increase bet after a hit(win) or more cash is usually high and this increases do not in any way determin a chance of winning again. Keeping to a predetermined bankroll is an easier way of being in charge of gambling therefore avoiding being addicted to gambling since you gamble when you want to not carried away by one helpless emotion ( reasons/target) or the other.
Budgeting losable amount is a comprehensive summary of gambling not being a business that one can put in all their earnings and even going on to be indebted and also a strategy to control gambling addiction.
Re: Will the under developed nations come out of its under development?
Some the path for or some of what defines underdeveloped nations you already elucidated, overcoming underdevelopment is a monumental challenge (as in an incredibly large problem), it might take a while but it remains possible for a nation to develop. However, success depends on many critical factors of which good governance free from corruption is key likewise good citizens willing for good governance...
What a serious observation @op. While our ancestors married without genetic testing, there was also high rates of infant death and genetic conditions unknown to them(as in without observations) which is usually attributed to one thing or the other. Here some may say the gods made it so. Today, science is awareness and choice, which feels disturbing but for sure empowers would be husband and wife to make informed decisions for the health of their future children’s. Somehow nothing has changed, only human knowledge and awareness developed to ensure well-being.
Not to forget, the pain associated with genetic test is usually emotional and today knowing has grown to include emotional intelligence which is needed in situations like this...
What is the joy that you love each other to produce unhealthy children? JJust wondering
Re: 🍉🍍🍓 Naija Board । Bitcoin Fruit Carving & Decoration Contest - 2025 🍉🍍🍓
I'm really enjoying the friut festival because of so much kind of decorations i perus so far and i believe that the members that make up this wonderful naija local board are not yet here to display their various fruit 🍓🍑 festival decorations, so please let us be out and showcase our different talents on this friut festival because i don't really know that some of us are this talented when it comes to decorations like this, believe me some friut festival decorations here is beautiful and amazing that i wish to eat them right now and i want to use this medium to appreciate all the members that has put all theri efforts to keeping this train of friut festival carving and decoration contest moving forward, and believe that more this contest will still come.
The festival is real, taking place gradually and continuously.
Definitely i believe alot of members are also perusing, in my case it happens as long as I show up online. To see different vibes/creativity birthed out of glorious joy by brilliant minds as organized and supported by geniuses.
What is obtainable is always obtainable but what those that doesn't know the value would never want to do is to venture into it because they didn't know what it is all about until their eyes is cleared and they began to understand thing concerning the cryptocurrency space before they could take that bold steps to venture into bitcoin investment and possibly leaves it for 10 years or more.
And of a true those who invested before are now seeing their dividend in bitcoin and of course they are reaping it big time, but those who hasn't invested can still find way to venture into bitcoin investment through DCA or with money gifted to them that they didn't attached so much value with.

Indeed "what is obtainable is always obtainable"..
Some will hear information but won't act sometime until it's late leaving room for had i know..
But as it stands right now it's not late to invest in Bitcoin as the future of BTC holds promises of splendorous benefits. Talking about 10 years BTC holding plan is a good move that should start now as much as possible employing every possible means.
Like in my case, if i had invested in Bitcoin when i first heard of it, put in extra effort to gather more information, it would have been a great joy for me right now. Hearing and not acting was as a result of lack of faith, believing it would be one of the ponzi as this was so common back then. Today Bitcoin has proven itself worthy holding promises of more worthiness in future.
Re: A newbie shouldn't think of profit making but building up Bitcoin portfolio
On point. Just like the title "A newbie shouldn't think of profit making but building up Bitcoin portfolio."
Building a long-term mindset (even before starting BTC journey) is paramount for any newbie investor. Undermining the temptation of quick gains empowers you to consistency, strategic accumulation (DCA) (no matter short-term price volatility).
Patience and perseverance are crucial assets for any investor talk more of a newbie. It takes time to build a meaningful portfolio, so staying focused (on long-term) through market cycles and continuously learning and contribute wit little steps will definitely be more profitable than pursuing gains. As a newbie it's great to courageously keep stacking.
Of course, each of us is responsible for our own level of aggressiveness, and we should not let pressure from online or groups affect our choices in that there is nothing wrong with being aggressive as long as we do not end up overdoing it. If we overdo it, then we have to suffer the consequences, and it might be 10 years down the road that we realize that we cannot turn back the clock an hopefully we did what we were able to do without overdoing it and taking ourselves out of the game due to our own overly aggressive screw up(s).
if I may ask, how does someone really decide where to draw the line between being aggressive enough to see good gains and being too aggressive to the point it turns risky?Surely that is individual specific, and yeah, if you over do it, then you will pay financially and perhaps psychologically.
If you are brand new to investing and you only have around 3-ish weeks of back up funds, then maybe you have already been employing a system like that for years before you got involved in bitcoin, so you are already used to it and you can build your bitcoin investment practices and improve you cashflow management systems and/or practices based on your already having some experience.
If you are barely new to the working world, then you may have more that you need to learn, so you might have to error on keeping some kind of a cash cushion to see how it works. So maybe if you always had your parents paying for everything, then you are not used to having and/or managing expenses, and parents might help out their kids in this regard, and so you might know how much you may or may not be able to rely on your parent for emergency back up, but if they already told you what they want you to do, they might not be willing to help you if it appears to them that you are not following their guidelines.
You build on what you have, and if you had not really given much consideration to what you have, then you might have to write it down and to organize your thinking on the topic, yet there are some folks who don't want to write anything down, so they think that they can manage their situation based on their memory, which I would consider to be more prone towards making mistakes and surely a person might have to learn by making mistakes if he is not proactive in regards to trying to figure out his various limits and atttept to account for his cashflows and to project them out for 3 to 6 months or even some folks might be advantaged by projecting out 18 months or longer, even though the more important projections will be in the coming few months, but it might be important to have some ideas regarding how future cashflow projections might work out.. and yeah, some folks will be better at it than others, and my own assumption is that 97% or more of normal adults (perhaps older than 18 years) would already have these various math and common sense skills, even though some younger folks might still be learning some of these matters and also trying to figure out their own emotions and hormones and the extent to which they might need to interact with others (such as their peers) to help to figure out some of these kinds of matters that might largely revolve around figuring out their discretionary income and the extent that they are able to invest 4-10 years or longer, which surely the less real world experience that a person has (such as a student or someone living with their parents), then they may have to use their imagination and/or need to experiment with some of the matters in order to learn their limits or to put what they know into practice to see if they might understand what they are doing or if they might have to ask some questions to someone, whose judgment they trust.
I see a lot of posts from various members talking about bitcoin investment theories and cash flow management theories, yet sometimes it can be difficult to know the extent to which they are actually putting their own ideas (or their own interpretation of ideas) into some kind of a meaningful practice... so yeah, with practice we might already know that we are going to make some mistakes, and some kinds of mistakes might be more tolerable than other kinds of mistakes.. .yet putting ideas into practice is likely amongst the best of ways to figure out one's own limitations in light of his own particular circumstances.
By the way, a person who is a student might have several topics that they need to study, and so maybe they dedicate a few hours a week to personal finances and financial management. Similar things can be true of a person who is in the working world. Some jobs might require 40-60 hours per week, yet there still can be downtime and there can be time that guys can dedicate to learning their own approach to bitcoin and/or their cashflow management practices. Sometimes it is not easy to fit in the learning and the practice and the adjustments from time to time that will hopefully be based upon ongoing learning.
For sure. Your detailed take @JayJuanGee is spot-on ( hitting the nail on the head).
A is a detailed reflection on financial management and Bitcoin investment on an individual grounds.
Emphasized points:
Difference in financial readiness, the role of experience, need for specific learning and importance of practice
Preparedness financially for Bitcoin investing is not global, it's completely personal upon personal cashflow management skills. People that are new to being autonomous, like students or young adults, must prioritize building first of all a safety measure. As important as theories, practice gives good understanding, mistakes, and adjusting mistakes out of experience. The point is continuous, intentional learning, dedication of time (and resources) to study finances and investing, and carrying out cautious applications within personal means.
A journey of self-awareness, not a race. Indeed.
Who says the world would be a better place if there were no poverty, maybe the rate of crimes might reduce but there would still be crimes due to greed and hunger for more, the wants of humans is insatiable so there would still be competition and quest for superiority which would lead to crimes, remember that not everyone who commit crimes are poor people so eradicating poverty won't stop crime totally.
I even think there would be chaos, imagine a world without no government, no hierarchy, no superiority everyone are the masters of themselves it would be very weird, I think the rich and poor class exist for the world to be balanced and if everyone was equally rich there would be chaos.
The rate of crime might not even reduce because you know people are not always satisfied and contented with what they have, you will see some people stil conniving with people of like mind to extort or still from other especially if they notice that some persons don't really the mind to do anything, you even reminded me about the world without poverty and everyone is been allowed to do what they like, Sodom and gomora would've been better than the world of today, even with security agencies everywhere we still see things that sometimes go well in humans eyes happening in this world, I concur to all you said. I even think there would be chaos, imagine a world without no government, no hierarchy, no superiority everyone are the masters of themselves it would be very weird, I think the rich and poor class exist for the world to be balanced and if everyone was equally rich there would be chaos.
Somehow, why eradicating poverty won't stop crime totally is the fact that most or some of these crimes are orchestrated by some of the rich people. They have the classes, profiles, houses, cars and on yet it is obvious how they promote this crimes in many ways directly and indirectly. Definitely, reducing poverty will help but eradicating crimes goes beyond eradicating poverty.
Re: 🍉🍍🍓 Naija Board । Bitcoin Fruit Carving & Decoration Contest - 2025 🍉🍍🍓
These fruit festival got me educating.
How about you?
For me i did my Bitcoin related food carving and decorations outside, while doing my design, family members and neighbors where interested to know what i was up to. It was easier with those who has idea about Bitcoin than those who do not. Answering that it is a fruit festival, got more query, interest and attention. The festival was not just active in our compound, it was active in the neighborhood as some neighbors saw that, asked questions and i believe they would probably tell their friend(s). The festival was really active and that got me inspired, wondering what it'll be like should they see me doing that next time if this festival continues....
After much explanation, one of the fascinating question ( by young people) was can i be part of this festival?
Saying no felt like denying someone an opportunity to display creativity.
I guess many of us had similar experience during our designs...

I know some people will still be doubting, if truly this is the time to buy bitcoin or sell, you don't need to get angry with such newbies that say this is the time to sell bitcoin because someone that have the knowledge of bitcoin will not say such thing when the price of bitcoin fall from $124k to $109k, if you have the funds in you, you can start buying from the market and hold either long term or short term because I know income will definitely come out from your holding before you can release them to the market, but don't forget that those that hold for long years always achieve the highest income from the bullish season.
Every investor needs to treat bitcoin as a long term investment and not to be shaken about it and having any other taught of short term investment. Those who invest for the short term are not true investors, they are traders who are only in for a short quick profit making mindset, and such mindset is a very wrong approach when investing in bitcoin. True investors only go for the long term goal of consistently and persistently accumulation of bitcoin with their discretionary income and hold for the long term goal.
What most people usually miss it is not even buying at all , like not even starting at all . One can be both trader and an investor at same time just Aslong you know what you are doing and you have the right knowledge to avoid wasting valuable resources (your hard earn money ) .
Because there many successful traders at there who are also buying bitcoin for long term purposes . And same time using their trading profits to boost their investment and fuel their business to keep going smoothly ,but the reason is always advisable to focus on accumulating bitcoin rather trading is because trading seems to be more technical n complex compared to investing.
As in had i know, very painful something. Indecisiveness of many kind, that's why DCA that can buy any time is not only advisable to newbies but everyone.
Trading is more or less like a business that requires daily energy that newbies don't have and capital, while investing requires just your capital and little or no energy.
People successfully doing trading and investing their profit might not be so many, but successfully trading and Investing profit is a great move but that's not for newbies (as in trading). Because newbies usually do not have the required knowledge and might be wasting hard earned money.
The best time for buying is at low price and I think if you sell your coins with profit then you should not regret after Fluctuations in coin price because you have already taken your profit so ready to make another step instead of regret about past.
If you are in doubt about other coin then just buy bitcoin now and don't sell until you achieved your target. This time is not suitable for selling but if someone is in huge profit and he cannot hold longer then selling should be preferred. Understand the market and accept your profit but I think if someone is selling their bitcoin without waiting more so he will miss the opportunity of having huge profit in Bull season.
regrets after selling Bitcoin mostly happens because no one can perfectly predict the coin market.If you are in doubt about other coin then just buy bitcoin now and don't sell until you achieved your target. This time is not suitable for selling but if someone is in huge profit and he cannot hold longer then selling should be preferred. Understand the market and accept your profit but I think if someone is selling their bitcoin without waiting more so he will miss the opportunity of having huge profit in Bull season.
Prices move up and down it's just based on supply demand and sentiment.if after buying,the price goes down immediately just wait untill it's goes up if you are not urgently in need of money at the time,you just can't predict this things.but it's always save to buy coins when the prices drop .
For sure DCA strategy doesn't care about timing and that is a relief of some kind. Making sure that one keeps up with DCA is usually the focus not necessarily dwelling on timing the market. Even if the urge to time the market arises, it can be anything the same as waiting strategically for the dip. DCA equals relief with trust on Bitcoin despite its volatility..

Op you are indeed a great man, we haven't finished benefiting from the loan program you single handedly lunch for the benefit of everybody you are here with another, God bless you immensely for your kind heart. Keep up the good work 🙏🙏
I dey like when such thoughtful and creative activities dey shele for this cabal because e dey always give the users the opportunity to showcase their talent and skills. Op, nah beta person you be, big ups man.
Indeed it takes a wonderful mindset to do wonderful things, this is a thoughtful, creative and innovative vibe, a novelty by a great person. Very fascinating vibe in the board. Maybe this vibe is also carrying with it, call it dream, vision or prophecy of BTC taking a great deal in agriculture.
You can see the drives in this thread, the impacts are joyfully real.
Wishing for more catapulting vibes like this in Naija local board.
It may not be the best but it is among the best and the rate at which it Is accelerating, there is every tendency that it will outgrown those of them that seems or appear to be more than Bitcoin for now because where Bitcoin skyrocketed from is really something that is confusing most persons till now because the never believed it. Bitcoin is a growing and it shall continue to grow and its potential speak about it all, but passing wrong information to someone who want to invest in Bitcoin will be wrong and it may affect the person in his investment the reputation of the person that passed the information will be ruined and it will somehow give Bitcoin a bad name like scam project which is not true.
From Bitcoin's long history, everyone can see that Bitcoin doesn't wait for a few unbelievers. Because Bitcoin will continue to grow, even if not everyone in the world believes it is an asset worth holding and buying at any time by anyone who believes in it. And as for spreading information about Bitcoin to those who don't believe in it, I don't think it should be too difficult to do, as we can all suggest it to our own family and close friends first. Because it will also spread over time to others through anything, whether social media or conversations when we meet.
And it's our duty as believers in Bitcoin to create long-term investment plans without worrying about and wasting more time on those who don't believe in Bitcoin. Because time is ticking, we can't turn back time, so those who have experienced the good times by buying Bitcoin will regret having exchanged their fiat currency for Bitcoin to achieve greater financial freedom in their later years.
We should never encourage anyone to invest or tell anyone to invest in Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is a very volatile market, anything can happen at any time. Suppose you have advised your friend to invest in Bitcoin and your friend has invested in Bitcoin after listening to you, but after a few days, if there is a decline in the market and your friend loses some money and if he gets scared and sells all his holdings. Then your friend will put the entire blame on you and blame you. So it is never right to force anyone to invest or encourage anyone to invest.
But yes, if a person is willing to invest in Bitcoin and if he comes to you to know something related to Bitcoin and investment information or to get advice. Then you can give him basic knowledge about Bitcoin, tell him about the volatility of Bitcoin and introduce some things to it, which will be good for him. You can tell him all the things like which method would be better to invest in. Then if he likes it, he can invest. But it is never right to force or encourage anyone to invest.
I don't think it's a bad idea to encourage new people to into Bitcoin, take for example a friend who gained a certain financial success/bonus or what ever. Is it bad encouraging such friends or family to invest part of such benefits in Bitcoin? For sure not bad since this cash is already discretionary. You can ask what about friends without discretionary cash? But as much as a friend or family has a steady income no matter how little, encouraging them to invest in Bitcoin does not seem bad even, since some strategies can make that possible...like DCA and more importantly a long-term holding.
Encouraging some one to invest in Bitcoin is not in any way forcing them. Now come to think of it, what if a friend feels bad that you withheld such information from them?
Encouraging a newbie into Bitcoin can't be a matter of few days, it has to be a certain long term so that they begin to decide for themselves as they keep learning and patience actively.
More beautiful when someone comes on their own to seek information, along the line u will even see that they might need some kind of encouragement which you should gladly give. Off course Bitcoin’s volatility is a paramount part of the info and more reasons why long-term investment is cool for newbie.
I don't know if I will actually be successful one day if I invest in Bitcoin. I continued to invest in Bitcoin for many years but did not get any good results then everything was in vain. If we can invest correctly then we can make a profit then we should invest in Bitcoin and hold Bitcoin.
I understand how you feel, investing in Bitcoin can be uncertain and also frustrating some times, mostly if the results don’t match as expected. Bitcoin highly volatile, and success usually do not just depends on timing, but also on strategy, research, and patience.
It’s true that wise investment and good understanding of the market cycles has potential for profit. But long-term strategy has worked well for some people, and it is good to have realistic expectations and also great not putting in more than what you can afford.
Never you lose hope, be smart and careful.
