Righteousness2: These are the Last Moments of the Last days.
Friend, what evidence or proof can you point to to support this statement. Nothing happening now has not happened before, and worse. The Bible says no one knows the hour. For all we know the end could be a million years from now.
light099: Lol, but they're two different things. Bitcoin worths $thousand because it removed big challenges as regards centralization, anonymity, digitization and ease of transfer worldwide. Then, it is mined with resources.
If Satoshi appeared and gave you 1 Bitcoin worth just $35k, while Picasso appeared and gave you one of his unknown paintings worth $millions as you claimed. While you can immediately start spending your 1Bitcoin, your so called $million painting is forever useless, since there isn't a way to prove Pissaco did it. This shows that ordinarily a Picasso painting is useless, it's only valued same way, toxic ladies come out of BBN and immediately turn valuable, wealthy celebrities overnight.
Actually that’s not quite true. Bitcoin is worth thousands for the same reason a childish drawing from Picasso is worth millions: there are people willing to pay that much for it, that’s all. Otherwise both have basically zero intrinsic value. One is number entered on ledgers. The other is an ugly drawing no one would want otherwise!
light099: Well, if it can spike up, then it can also dip. Hard currencies are stable but Crypto currencies are volatile. Isn't that why y'all invest because you can get insane ROI within a short time? So, it isn't abnormal if the market does otherwise. Liquidity, daily volume, centralization, events and other determining factors are different in Crypto/Hard currencies. The only thing constant to all currencies is rise/fall. And this is what matters. Moreover, assuming Pound could ever rise to $40k, then it can also dip to $25k. The exchange ratio determines the volatility rate. Hard currencies have tiny exchange ratio, so volatility is also tiny.
As for Picasso, his paintings would keep going up as long as the children of Adam think it's cool to overvalue some less important things. It's all part of the imbalances, misplaced priorities and low sense of what is right/appropriate/worthy/good, which made human beings what they are.
I bet the inventors of bitcoin never envisioned it being worth more that $1 or so, hence the name: bitcoin. Otherwise they’ll have named it Super Duper Mega Currency . How did bitcoin come to be worth thousands??!! Same reason a quick pencil drawing by Picasso is worth millions I guess!
light099: $38? So Bitcoin fell all the way from over $40,000 to $38? Lol. Copy paste junkies. Another bold crap of misinformation, confidently paraded on NL FP; working tireless everyday to raise the level of ignorance among young Nigerians and neutralize the little education in circulation.
Actually it fell from 69K in November to now 35K - which hard currencies never do. BUT Saying the price of bitcoin will not eventually go up because bitcoin is backed by nothing, is like saying the price of a Picasso painting will not keep going up because it is a stupid drawing that took him less than an hour to make!
derek2: For people here to support Kanye west on this argument shouldn’t be surprising.
Nigerians are very gullible people. That’s why we are easily fooled by what influential people tells us. We don’t investigate before making judgement, we only read headlines.
When Forbes and google are there to make confirmations , someone is telling you he is the richest black man, because he is “Kanye west” and you believe him.
But this life eh! I remember clearly this same Kanye was in so much debt and begging for money not long ago!
eyinjuege: Did his mates really collaborate anything though? Who are his mates? I haven't really seen any verified Dowen student or parent who came out publicly with their full chest to say what they know about this case. Most of the things read online are dem say dem say. Who are the people saying things? I wish those people shouting justice for Sylvester could hire a private investigator to find out information, interview friends and roommates etc. We need people that knew what happened to come out. I'm sure other students will have witnessed what happened
That’s the problem with this type of case - people jump in in the middle and start commenting without having followed the case. Of course his dorm mates were the first to come out to say there was no playing of football and that the school insisted on that narative even after they told what truly happened. It made front page here on NL. I’ve followed the case from beginning so I KNOW. And yes, the INITIAL AUTOPSY collaborated what they all said including the dying boy. Fiscus105, Basher8583 (Watch the clip below - it is only 20 seconds.)
See how you are talking as if you are sure 100%, tell me a boy of his age that won't like playing boy with his mates?
Though I'm not saying that other possibility not likely o, but since 7 phatologist including the one represented by his family says otherwise, what else you want? Can't you give God to fight if you guys think otherwise?
So you believe he died naturally? Do you even know what that means? His mates collaborated that there was no playing football, he had peeling lips, his organs were burning
Basher8583: Have you played football and hit you leg on the pole of the Goal post? That's a blunt force trauma. Hit your leg on a concrete wall, get hit by a stone, stick, Iron rod. These are examples of blunt force trauma.
The boy said on his death bed, collaborated by other students, that he never played any football, then went ahead to narrate what was killing him! Did u miss that part??
GetMeRight: Lol. How could you conclude that a kid in that condition died a natural death? May be he didn't die directly from the assaults but the assaults put him in that condition. And the school management didn't take care of him ASAP
I don’t think they know the meaning of the word “natural”
JaroMan: The child died in the family's custody. Did the run an autopsy before going public? There are three parties in the case 1. The victim family 2. The 5 boys families 3. The school Yes, the family is rich but they needed the cooperation of the school to actually made a headway. It was the school that threw the spanner in the case. Their insistence that the boy fell while playing ball, gave the families the alibi. They didn't allow the school in investigate independently. Rather, the made the school appear as culprit. This might actually be the reason why the school is on same page with the accused, who are connected people in the society. Why I think the family was too fast? They were actually accusing the school based on their observations and not medical examinations. Because they would've sued with their own medical results, so the judge will order for a second independent autopsy. That will put everyone on caution. They also said the boy mentioned names? Who was there? But they stampede the school and that made the school to try to protect their image. If they had allowed the school, they would've disowned those kids and the case won't be bad. My take though
You sound like mumu. What is “the school”?Those students’ families own the school!
israel90: The family of the boy is idiot,if it's my son I won't go to police or take any lawyer,I will undergo my private investigation and strike accordingly.they will comfirm it and come begging
Your types are only full of talk? Never does shìt. Give example of one thing you have done in your life
Fiscus105: Injuries from playing football with his mates, who will u now hold responsible for that?
How would u feel if innocent goes to jail bcoz of natural death?
Learn how to be neutral towards parties involved in crisis.
My bros, is not always who you perceived as guilty that are guilty and try not to fall for emotions.
My friend, ON HIS DYING BED he made it clear what happened, collaborated by students who were there. Made it clear who killed him and that he was not playing any football. All collaborated by his burning insides and peeling lips. Why would a dying boy be lying?? What’s wrong with you people??!!
JaroMan: From day one, the family never showed tact. They went all out and played their last card. This media trial should have been the done now. But if they raise that issue again, a lot of people will feel uninterested. Mind you, I'm not gloating of their loss, but we learn everyday. Dialog is a veritable avenue to resolving any problem.
This guy, you keep carping gibberish. Detail for us what tact you’d have shown after watching your child die an agonizing death, saying on his death bed who killed him, Educate us
Etuagievin: . You mean if you were in their shoes you will chose to work with the school that strives to protect its own interests. You think the school owner will favour saying the truth and loose clients? Won't you blame them if they had taken that route without success? The best fight is what the parents had fought. The way they went about it is fine for me. Sadly, we live in a land where justice had been buried. May God console the parents
I can’t believe that moniker JaroMan actually said that. How some people reason eh!
FILEBE: Nairaland front page is gradually becoming a thrash site. Seun. Talk to your mods. Instablog is instablog, nairaland is nairaland ! Can't be on IG to read all these then come on Nairaland to see same on frontpage. Haba!!!
Isn’t it? It’s a Nigerian misnomer. Someone obviously didn’t know the definition of “cult”. See below, their American counterparts just killed a star hip-hop artist, probably to keep score!
Drella: Dem supposed banish you from this thread lol
If you don't know something and nobody is willing to tell you,you let it slide.It's not everything you must know.
You have no idea how you made yourself look now.
Made myself look what? They have now explained it. Instead of just writing Pirate Confraternity. How hard is that? And why not also write BC and VC to avoid confusion
Likemind347: Lol how can you tell me what I am Smiles Alora follow orders is orders? Alora has Captain as a hierarchy smiles I’m not a buccaneer im a pirate and a buccaneers IS A PIRATE
“I’m not a buccaneer im a pirate and a buccaneers IS A PIRATE”
Maybe it’s because I went to public school, but that statement doesn’t make sense to me.
Anyway guy explained - you are not BC or VC, you are PC
My mum is 76 years and I've never seen her cough or sneeze, or blow her nose ONCE. Till she took this jab, and now, all she does is cough and sneeze. She insists it's ''not covid'', and plans to take the 'booster' jabs. I'd advised her not to touch those jabs, but I guess she knew better.
