نعم أوافقك الرأي أن الاستثمارات عالية المخاطرة هي نوع من القمار لكني لا أعتقد أن البيتكوين والعملات الرئيسية في السوق يمكن تصنيفها على أنها قمار ، خاصة البيتكوين حيث أن إمساكه على المدى البعيد لايحمل أي مخاطر بل العكس هو استثمار رابح دوما.

حتى لو هبط سعر البيتكوين والعملات ذات المشاريع القوية إلى درجة كبيرة جدا فلايزال بإمكان المستثمر إمساكها على المدى البعيد واتباع استراتيجية DCA عند الهبوط وبالتالي سيحصل على استثمار ناجح 100% بينما القمار فأنت إما تربح أو تخسر وليس لديك خيار الانتظار. نعم بقية العملات وخاصة الميمي كوين فهي تشبه القمار تماما وعندما تهبط فهي لاتصعد مرة أخرى حتى لو امسكتها على المدى البعيد بل تستمر بالهبوط.

Increased tariffs can actually result in business operation losing momentum due to the fact that cost providers are no longer congruent with the prospective earnings. Under these circumstances, it does not come as a surprise that most companies prefer to exit instead of keep their operations poorly afloat. In case the regulators desire growth, balance is important to avoid the breakdown of the business environment. Devoid of such a balance, we will witness policies that stem out opportunities before the industry has achieved its potentials.

That may be true, but high rates are almost prohibitive, which ends up scaring companies in the sector and many stop operating in the country. Sometimes I wonder why they regulate, if abusive rates hinder or even prevent the growth and expansion of the business, making its operation practically unviable.

بالطبع أخي لايوجد شيء ثابت وإذا نظرت إلى الجدول الزمني لأسعار البيتكوين حسب الأشهر خلال السنوات الماضية سترى أن النمط لايكون هو نفسه خلال كل السنين فمثلا شهر أوكتوبر حسب القراءة التاريخية لشهر أوكتوبر خلال السنوات الفائتة فهو على الغالب شهر صعودي والكثيرين يتفاءلون به حتى أنهم أطلقوا عليه اسم "Uptoper" أي شهر الارتفاع لكن هذا العام كان مخالف للنمط التاريخي وحصل فيه هبوط كبير في سعر البيتكوين على عكس المتوقع وهذا هو الحال بالنسبة لبقية الأشهر ليس بالضرورة أن تكرر أنماط السنوات السابقة.

بالنسبة لسايلور فهو في موقف حرج جدا بسبب الديون الكبيرة لقد استدان من أجل أن يقوم بالشراء بأسعار مرتفعة ، كان عليه أن يحسب حساب هذا الهبوط الكبير حتى لا يضطر لبيع بعض البيتكوين لتسديد الديون، ربما لو لم يشتري الكميات الأخيرة وترك مبلغا احتياطيا لكان الآن تمكن من الشراء بسعر جيد جدا.
بالطبع ليس هناك مثل هذا الشيء ، والدورة ليس عبارة عن مسار مرسوم وعلى البيتكوين المرور من خلاله وإنما هي عبارة عن اصطلاحات متعارفة عليه بناء على قراءة معطيات وبيانات تاريخية ونمط يتكرر كل فترة زمنية معينة ولكن هذا بالطبع لا يعني أنه ثابت وأنه لايمكن أن يتغير بل من الممكن جدا أن يتغير هذا النمط بالكامل.

I have finally agreed to this, with the way Bitcoin have been dumping very hard it shows that the top was already in, I made alot of mistakes and I have learnt a hard lesson.

The football game never gives certainty and that is the reason why match analysis is more dependable as opposed to odds. Juventus might seem to be the sturdier, but the result cannot be considered as certain enough due to their inconsistency and the burden of playing away. Instead, Fiorentina are known to make even poorer performing teams work hard even when they are not in their best state. They are capable of interfering with the game flow with ease and shifting the expectations. When making bets such as this, it is wiser to look at the formation of the team, its strategies and current performances than to make judgments based on the ideals that the team will automatically win. Anything may occur on the field of play and underdogs tend to produce the most massive surprises.

لا اتذكر الحادثة بالضبط و مختلف تفاصيلها للاسف، لكن اتذكر انه صارت موجة انتقادات كبيرة للهلال الاحمر و العاملين فيه  بسبب شبهات فساد و سرقة للتبرعات.

After a closer look at the case, I later discovered that, if there was anyone to be blamed then it should be the FCT minister because he over stepped and got so power intoxicated and thinks he’s above every other person.
I love his style of politics but the truth is that, he can never be right at all times but the reverse was the  case with the FCT minister who thinks his superior to everyone which is wrong

I do not know more about the military but I know that there’s a rule that they should always obey the last order and I think that is what the young officer did and in watching the video, the officer mentioned on who’s order he was standing and the right thing was to try to reach the officer that gave the order but the minister thought he would intimate but he got the perfect dose for himself

I love how calm the officer handled everything.

Post activity per local board during October 2025

During October, 14463 posts were written across local boards that are part of this overview, which is a solid increase compared to September's 12612 posts. All the most active boards had better numbers than in September, with Nigerian boatrd reaching yet another all time high number of posts.

Active members per local board during October 2025

During the last month, 1466 forum members wrote at least 1 post in one of the local boards, which is an increase compared to month before (1292). This is actually quite a big increase, because number of active members don't change much from month to month and its a good sign that members are reactivating now that summer is behind us.

Nigerian board just keeps increasing their lead on this chart, while Russian is far behind on the 2nd spot and will unlikely regain the top spot in the near future.



Local board members per amount of posts during October 2025

When it comes to the percentage of members who wrote only 1 post in their board during October, leader is Arabic board with 59% of such members, while at the same bracket Greek board had only 11% of members.

At the 2-9 posts bracket leader is Romanian board with 67% of the members while Portuguese had the lowest percentage, only 21%.

Regarding the 10+ posts bracket, Croatian board is the leader with 62% of the members, while at the bottom is Romanian board that didn't have any members who wrote 10+ posts.

Merit shared per local board during October 2025

During the above mentioned period, 8427 merit was shared across local boards, which is a drop compared to September's numbers (8922 merit).

While Nigerian board remained the most merited board, their number of shared merit went down significantly, and the same thing can be said about German board that went even more down percebtage wise. Overall drop would be even bigger if Russian board didn't have an increase compared to month before.



Merit/Post ratio per local board during October 2025

In October, average merit per post ratio across local boards was 0.58, which is an decrease compared to September's 0.7 merit per post. Once again Romanian board had the highest ratio, followed by Polish and Spanish locals, while Greek board remained the the one with the lowest merit per post ratio, wuite below their 12 month average.



Merit senders and receivers per local board during October 2025

In October, 654 members sent while 685 received merit in one of the local boards, which is an increase compared to September (582 senders and 656 receivers).

Nigerian board is naturally at the top, with the difference from the others  that hasn't been seen before when it comes to this chart.

Merit per transaction across local boards during October 2025

After some time Arabic local is at the top, while Polish is at the very high 2nd spot which is not surprise given their high merit per post ratio.

There are ways to verify the age of every registrant - but none the administration value over privacy.

هذا ما يسمى بالفساد والفضائح المتتالية، وما خفي أعظم بكثير رغم أنني كنت دائما اشك في السابق ومترددا تجاه هذه المؤسسات التي أصبحت تطلب التبرعات بشكل مستمر لكن الخبر هذا مفاجئ جدا.
ما حدث يوضح أن الاتهامات جاءت من داخل نفس التيار التنظيمر ربما يشير إلى صراع داخلي على الأموال أكثر من كونه موقف أخلاقي من السرقة.
الواضح أن الأمر ليس مجرد سوء إدارة بل صراع داخلي بينهم حول الأموال نفسها. ربما يكون هناك فساد وتحويل للأموال أو ربما مجرد نزاع داخلي يحاولون تظهيره عبر الإعلام.

وفي النهاية المتضرر الأكبر هم دائم الناس مثلنا الذين وثقوا وأعطوا تبرعاتهم على أمل وصولها لمستحقيها

I know it is going to be hard and heartbreaking. Still, it's good for the future because we can never expect any kind of responsibility from an addict and as I said I had witnessed from the first hand. Hence, it's better to stay away from them and survive on our own if it's women and kid and that what must happened in the situation you mentioned as well.

I had seen this fake kidnapping from a movie or two, and I guess that person is also inspired that from movies.

Addiction can be cruel, I witnessed addicts do crazy stuffs that no one in their right mind will dare to do that so for the family members who got addicts, just try to let him know or find ways to make him realize his mistake and if he keeps ignoring all those then better abandon him which is good for others especially kids in that family to avoid traumatic childhood.

The pot target is easily adjustable so it's not something to get too hung up on - I'll be making adjustments based on the performance of the raffle once I have some real-world metrics to go off of. The target is also a reflection of of the size of the existing community I run and could market to, so I felt it was an achievable goal especially when taking how favourable the odds are into consideration (we're already at ~25% of the target, so it's looking pretty promising that we'll be hitting the goal at this stage).

Also just to reiterate (in case you missed my previous update), but this is simply the first iteration of the platform - it's still very much in its early/MVP stages and there's still a lot of room for improvement here.

I'll be actively implementing the suggestions I've received so far, including the move to a self-hosted payment solution so I can address the pricing structure as this appears to be the biggest critique point so far.
