Re: Do you know how much you spend on various bills a week/month?
by

Keeping a record of your expenses doesn't double your money, but it helps you monitor your spending habits. If you notice a bit of excess, you tend to curb it. I check my spending every month, and banks keep records, so you can casually review them.

It helps you know what you're spending on, whether it's unnecessary, or if it's worth it. If you see you're spending more on material things, you can prioritize making investments or allocating a certain amount for specific purposes to balance it or take out the material spending.

If you can afford  another phone that's really good, then you know that phone is for your crypto and Bitcoin investment. You can handle it with extra care.

Also, be careful with antivirus you downloads, some antivirus software actually carries the viruses. Even if it's recommended by a friend, have ways to verify if it's real or not.

Some antivirus software can wipe your assets or log you out of your account after downloading it. Then, many people overlook two-factor authentication, but it's helpful. Whenever you see an option for two-factor authentication, do it. It really helps, when someone is trying to penetrate your account, you'll get a notification if someone tries to log in, but without it, they can break in easily.

Re: In gambling, is it true that you don’t win if you’re not lazy?

You need to know what works for each game type. For casino and slot games, luck factor is needed and strategy may not be as effective. But for sports betting, analysis can increase your chances of winning.

If you can analyze games for sports betting but choose to rely solely on luck without a strategy, that's like being lazy. In sports betting you can put in effort to analyze and make better decisions.

For slot games, I'll say be wise with the about you bet with. Don't spend anyhow, or use a strategy that'll make you go keep doubling your bet amount without seeing tangible wins. Manage your money wisely when playing slot games.

Re: How do you confirm if your online casino referred user is no longer active?

If there's no dashboard to check your referral earnings or their activities, your best option is to reach out to customer support and ask for your referral report on your earnings or clarification on any issues.

While waiting for their response, you can also ask your referrals who are close friends about their gaming activities over the past month. Another option is to keep looking for new referrals, in case your existing ones are reducing their gaming earnings.

I see people relating crypto scams to newbies only but the honest truth is that scammers feed on people's ignorance, not only that but greed as well, therefore anyone can be a victim, not only newbie. Well, newbies are their easiest targets cause their ignorance makes them very vulnerable but their are some newbies that are very smart and careful online not to lose money to scammers.
 Although some can easily be fooled online. For instance, someone was scammed through releasing his passphrase, the scammer told him that he'll be gifted free coins but he'll have to drop his passpharse and out of ignorance he released it to the scammers and the rest of his coin in his wallet was history you'll be suprised how easily such person got scammed but think about it greed could play a role to that.
 Maybe the free money he was offered was very huge that he couldn't decline, maybe he might be ignorant but their are people even those with better understanding of the implications of releasing their passphrase that would overlook the implications and release their phrase to the scammer out of greed, everyone just needs to be more careful and avoid being greedy cause many have been scammed due to greed both ignorant and experienced crypto enthusiast.
Truth is, mistakes are inevitable, even for the best of us. Sometimes, when you're in a hurry or want to quickly complete a transaction, you mightn't be careful enough. This can lead to scams, especially with P2P exchanges.

For instance, a scammer might offer a slightly lower rate, using similar figures to confuse you. Instead of ₦69,600, they might offer ₦60,900. In your haste, you might complete the transaction without noticing the difference.

So I do advise against making transactions or taking serious decisions when you're in an emotional state or in a hurry. Any  decisions involving money should be made when you're calm and composed. This can save you from potential harm or scam.

Re: Now is the best time for Nigeria to own a Bitcoin reserve.

In a country where snakes swallow money, monkeys take money, and rats eat money, I don't think it's we have grown to have a Bitcoin reserve yet. Tomorrow, we might wake up to news that a cockroach ate the phone and the password is missing and such silly excuses.

I know it's okay for a country to have a Bitcoin reserve, but considering the state of our country, I'm not sure. We don't want a situation where people think we have a plan B for the economy, only to wake up to news that someone took the account, it froze, or the Bitcoin disappeared.

I think it's best for individuals to manage their own Bitcoin investments. I doubt the government will even want to do it, given their inconsistent stance on Bitcoin, approving and disapproving it repeatedly. We're still a bit far from having a Bitcoin reserve as a country, and I don't think Nigeria is ready for that. Just looking at the facts

Re: Using AI to read emotional reactions for personalized ads
by
Yucky
on 01/05/2025, 08:34:17 UTC
At this junction, I feel AI advancements are needed somewhere else instead of on our TVs, where we're supposed to just watch something to relax. We already have similar features on social media, using algorithms to curate feeds based on what we watch. I think this is unnecessary since we already have similar experiences on our phones.

I feel like AI should be applied elsewhere. If AI is used on TV, the option to turn it off or have more control over settings should be there. But then I feel the setting would not give full control , it might reset when you turn off your TV requiring users to re-enable it each time.

I'm concerned that if AI tracks our emotions and viewing habits, it might limit what we see , what if I'm interested in other contents. Instead of just suggesting more of what I've already watched, I feel the inclusion is not necessary.

Re: It is better to have a poor strategy than no strategy at all
by
Yucky
on 01/05/2025, 08:20:20 UTC
Your method for figuring out if poor strategy is better than no strategy actually works for determining the effectiveness of any strategy versus luck. I saw a thread on if the luck and gambling strategy posts have not been exhausted but I think gamblers are still testing different approach and have more post on luck and gambling to make . So I think your approach to comparing different methods is would help in bringing clarity to that topic.

For instance, you could compare results when:

Guessing based on intuition without a strategy
Or using a specific strategy, like carefully analyzing teams against luck
Then combining luck and strategy

To see the outcomes of each approach, you can determine which one works best. It's a good method for identifying whether luck or strategies or both work better.

I know it looks like we've exhausted most of the topics on luck and gambling, but there's still other angles to discover. As we progress in gambling, we tend to learn more. People are still trying out strategies and methods to achieve 80% success rate without relying solely on luck.

Some methods include analyzing data, topping up bets amounts when winning, or following bookmarked predictions. Others might focus on strategies that don't involve predictions or analysis at all to see how successful they can be. Since people are continually testing different approaches, more topics related to gambling and luck may be posted in the future to provide further explanations.

Re: I’ve never received token rewards, why?
by

on 30/04/2025, 11:00:36 UTC
The thing with Telegram airdrops, token and testnent is that they're often based on hope and prayer. You have to really put your prayer in them and hope they'll work, but don't invest your full money and interest in it. Many telegram projects, like Hamster Kombat and TapSwap flopped and took a lot of peoples interest away since there was no reward.

So, trade carefully, whether you're buying tokens or paying gas fees for transactions, be cautious and don't overinvest, as the outcome is uncertain.

Re: The sleeping Prince of Saudi Arabia.

on 30/04/2025, 10:47:06 UTC
I saw the story on Instagram and read the comments, both negative and positive. I had two conflicting thoughts in my head. Some people suggested he's dead, but his family loves him so much and has the money to keep him alive, hoping he'll wake up.

My first thought was, if he's says he's  alive means his brain cells are still active. Even if it's a small part of his brain cells being active means he's technically alive, and there's a chance of recovery. This might be why his family has kept him for two decades, especially since they mentioned a time when he was recovering and could move his fingers.

My other though was, if he's actually dead, have the doctors confirmed it to his family, or are they just holding onto hope. But if his family is choosing to hold onto hope, it's not bad, miracles still happen.

This story really got me thinking. It's a reminder to appreciate our lives and opportunities. Someone has been in a coma for two decades, and he'd probably wish to be okay and not burden his family. It was a moment of gratitude for me, a reminder to appreciate where I am and work hard for a better future.

Re: Hope you are giving review to the recent P2P scammers

I've seen a thread like this, and I've had a friend who has experienced it too. When I want to make exchanges, I tend to use a really trusted friend, someone very close to me whom I can comfortably hold accountable if anything goes wrong.

These scam schemes are getting rampant, and you know the psychological effect of these figures, they make you overlook details, and eventually, you might not remember, allowing the scammers to get your money. It's really hard to find an honest person these days.

It's unfortunate that some Nigerians would try to rip others off, knowing that things are tough and we're all trying to survive. Let's be careful because these scammers are still out there. If you report this particular P2P scam scheme, they'll develop another one, so you must be alert not to fall victim to any of their schemes.

Re: self-exclusion discussion
by
Yucky
on 30/04/2025, 10:24:12 UTC
The aim of self-excluding your gambling account is to take a pause from gambling, whether from visiting a local betting shop or a casino. If you self-exclude from one casino and then jump to another to play, it's the same thing, it didn't help.

Before self-exclusion, you should have mind exclusion from gambling first. Withdraw your mind from the thought of playing for the period you want to reevaluate your gambling habits, budget, and everything. Just take a pause.

If you self-exclude and then move to another gambling shop to play, what's the difference? You literally didn't do anything; you just moved from one place to another. You wanted to self-exclude just to feel like you made an effort, but you went back again.

I know self-exclusion is a step towards curbing excessive gambling habits, but you have to be intentional about it. It's not just about making an effort or having the thought; you actually have to work on taking action.

I've heard people say they've self-excluded, but they still gamble online through another method or different platform. It really doesn't change much if you don't withdraw your mind from gambling and going to casino for that time and legitimately stop trying to open a new account, or try a different casino.

Re: Always think positive
by
Yucky
on 30/04/2025, 07:50:59 UTC
It happens to even the best of us, because luck plays a significant role in casino games and even sports betting. Even after thorough analysis, there's always a sprinkle of luck involved. We tend to attach positivity to the luck, and sometimes it gets the best of us, making us overly optimistic about the game.

Sometimes we keep increasing the number of bets and the amount we wager, which ofteb worsen the situation, especially after a near miss. You might think, "If I got this close, the next one will be better," but most times, that doesn't happen.

What saves me in times like this is discipline.  knowing when to take yourself out of the game and go home and if you've experienced familiar situations before, you know that when positivity doesn't work out, you need to back out, and even when it work, you still need to set limits for yourself to avoid overspending.

Re: Nigerian secondary school once accepted Bitcoin (Cryptocurrency) for tuition fee

⭐ Merited by Igebotz (2)
With all the constraints on crypto from the Nigerian government, it's hindering progress, weove one step forward and 2 steps backwards. They're making it uncomfortable for companies to operate in Nigeria. If they stay, they'll likely increase prices for us, adding extra costs, probably due to taxes.

If crypto adoption in Nigeria hadn't faced these challenges, it would have been more in use. Some companies accepted crypto payments initially, but had to revert to cash. Like you can see  even schools tried using crypto payments.

It seems that if something doesn't directly benefit the government, they'll look for ways to shut it down. Since they can't collect taxes directly from crypto and bitcoin users, they target crypto exchanges and companies. Increasing taxes for them means higher exchange fees for us. The Nigerian government is just something else.

Re: The usefulness of budget as a bitcoiner
by

on 29/04/2025, 10:24:27 UTC
Another this is having a budget helps you  not to stretch your limits, If you budget, let's say, $100 for something because you have a budget for that thing, even if you want to extend it, it won't go more than $120 or $150. You have a sense of constraint around the amount you're using.

When you don't budget you'll find yourself spending any amount on anything , sometimes overspending, sometimes underspending, and making financial mistakes. So, yes, budgeting is really good; it helps me have an amount constraint around an investment or something.

Re: Which has more growth potential, casinos or betting?
by
Yucky
on 29/04/2025, 10:12:24 UTC
I would say betting is growing more because you can find local betting shops literally everywhere, where people can go in and experience the vibe and excitement. There's always a league , such as the Premier League, Champions League, or World Cup, that people are engaged with, cheering for their clubs and countries. So they are  mostly betting on sports games.

On the other hand, casinos are not as available while there are some places with nice casinos to chill in, they're not always readily available. Where I stay now, casinos are not handy; betting shops are more and so people seem more attached to betting than casinos, unless they want to play online. Aside from the youth, elderly people might not have the time or flexibility to play casino games on their phones. Overall, I think betting is growing wider.

How many times has this worked for you? That's another important thing you should have added, one or two tries isn't enough to know that if it actually works.
This is the question I wanted to ask the author: how many times did they use it? Once, twice, or even three times is not enough. You have to try it repeatedly, for ten to fifteen times, to know if it accuracy. You have to stick to whatever analysis it gave you, without including your own, to ensure you didn't tamper with the results.

The AI gave you results; you can't be certain so  you have to redo it again and again and bring out a detailed analysis with results for us to have a better understanding of your experiment.

I do believe that AI can assist a lot because, as long as information about the teams and their games is on the internet, the AI can actually search it out and draw an analysis conclusion. So, yes they can assist, but it has to be tested over time to be certain.

I do recommend the casino to them, and I tell them about the crypto payment option. But most times, they are skeptical about using it because they hold onto their crypto dearly and barely experiment with it. Only a few try it out to see the advantages it offers over using cash. But most of them are always hesitant to give it a try with their crypto.

Re: Debate : Would you choose to have a stable job or start your own business?
by
Yucky
on 28/04/2025, 07:54:55 UTC
Honestly, it's not easy to be an entrepreneur. It's not easy to run your business, manage it, and trust people in your business. I might change my choice later depending on how life goes, but for now, I choose to have a stable hybrid job that gives me freedom. I'm earning very well in a hybrid job, to be precise. I don't go to the office more than twice a week; the rest of the time, I work from home.

This setup allows me to spend time with family, go on vacation, and even work as a freelancer. I choose a stable hybrid job that gives me the freedom to invest rather than owning a business and dealing with the stress that comes with it.

For me, a stable hybrid job is ideal because it gives me time to do other things and invest more. If I can earn enough from my stable job to invest in Bitcoin or digital assets, what else would I be looking for?
