I expect AVAX to try and follow Solana, honestly, but I may be wrong. Everything DOT should moon only with bull market, so I am very Patient.
Some projects that started this year too, you should set a little amount aside for them. Very important.

False information.
You pay 0% tax on the first £12,570. 20% basic rate tax on the part of your income which falls into the next tax bracket (£12,571 up to £50,270). This means you'll pay 20% tax on £37,700.
Anything you earn above £50,271 to £125,140, is taxed at 40%.
Your income over £125,140, is taxed at 45%.
That's why you see those footballers with fleets of expensive cars. That is where they put all their earnings to avoid paying big taxes.

I have started paying attention to spot to see how many boxes it fills before going down and it's 3 or 3.5.

Lemme go take profit before this money ritual go turn to, "I should've pulled out at box 3, greedy me."
When you say"take profit" , is it from the short you place?

bosss, you really did a fantastic job here, am a poor teacher to be honest with your boss, maybe the reason I was able to quickly grab your explanation is because of my strong interest in future trading! Thanks for sharing your in-depth knowledge hare, it's highly educative. In summary to those trying to understand @iLegenddd lecture, the lecture simply says don't attempt to shot market when price hasn't move very close to the Daily high! Just for example, if the daily high coin price is $9, but now the price has dropped to aroun $3 region,

The lecture tells me not to attempt to make any short position because the price is at first wise box! If the price. Still moves from $4 to $6 it has just completed the second wise box, patience. Is still needed at these points too, but when it finally moves from $7 to $8.5 region then the three wise boxes has been completed meaning the price has approach the highest of the day! At these points it's saver to place a shot position using a reasonable leverage size.

I don't want to laugh (even though I did). We've all been through it. I lost back then to the point you could roast corn on my chest because of how hot it was. Anger here and there.

If a coin is moving, the moment I join, it stops and starts going against me. At a point, I felt there is someone specifically monitoring me. I felt crytpo hates me. This has happened at least 40 times.

These loses made me begin to develop my own strategies. Today, I don't get angry again if things go against me neither am I excited when it favors me. I'm just chilled. Money is invaluable, but I decided not to place so much value in it again.

Knowing that 50 - 80 years from now, most of us will be dead and we won't be buried with money, I became emotionally detached from outcomes. I do it now because of the adrenaline rush and it kills boredom. I always love when there is chaos in the market. I don't care the direction — I just want chaos.

I'm more prepared for the worst than I'm prepared for the profit. I'm already used to losing alot back then, so now, I only play with what I can lose and laugh about it.

Luckily, using lots of exchanges has saved me and also, thanks to Coinank and Coinglass's free heatmap. With those two apps, I enter trade only after studying where liquidity is and where liquidation will most likely take place. I love to get in when others have already been liquididated or when they're hunting to liquidate them. Eating from the king's table is a privilege since I'm not the king yet.

The manipulation is high and since I can't beat them, I monitor their movements so I can join them.

Take heart, you'll surely overcome. For me and my lineage, I'll never leave crytpo except BTC plunges to $0.001.

Even if I tell you I have stopped, just know that it's a lie borne out of trying to hide that I'm into it for security reasons.

Coinsoto has rebranded. The new name is Coinank.com.

I'm not comfortable updating the app because I don't know if it has monthly pricetag now. I hate all these monthly payment apps.

I am new to the coinank app. Can you help summarize how to use it i to make buy/sell decisions please?

Politics / Re: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz Visits Yoruba Cultural Centre In Lagos by GreatManBee: 3:09pm On Oct 31, 2023
aQUINandmore:

As someone from Edo, I find myself drawn to the Yoruba culture of Nigeria. It's not just a fascination; it's a deep appreciation and love that I hold for what I consider to be the most beautiful culture in Africa. It might seem unusual for me to have such an affinity for a culture outside of my own, but there's something truly special about the Yoruba heritage that captivates my heart.

The Yoruba culture is a tapestry of history, a masterpiece of traditions that have withstood the test of time. It's like a living museum of Africa's past, present, and future. I can't help but be entranced by its richness and depth.

What stands out most is the way Yoruba culture weaves together a complex fabric of language, spirituality, art, and community. The Yoruba language is like a dance, with its melodious flow and expressive words that seem to carry stories within each syllable. It's a language that can paint a picture with its very pronunciation.

Their spiritual beliefs are equally captivating. The Yoruba pantheon of gods, the Orisha, is a fascinating blend of mythology and reverence. The intricate rituals, divinations, and ceremonies that honor these deities are nothing short of mesmerizing. I admire the profound connection they maintain with their ancestors, believing that the spirits continue to guide and protect them.

Yoruba artistry is a realm of wonder. The Adire and Aso-oke textiles are not merely fabrics; they are works of art. Each pattern and motif tells a story, preserving their history and heritage in threads. The intricate beadwork, the stunning masks, and the sculptures are a testament to the incredible talent and creativity of the Yoruba people.

Music and dance are like the heartbeats of the Yoruba culture. The talking drums, the rhythms of Sango, and the energy of Ogun's dance, all come together to create a unique and exhilarating symphony. Their festivals, like the Eyo and Osun, are a spectacle of color and joy, a testament to the celebratory spirit that runs through their veins.

What's most striking is the strong sense of community and family in the Yoruba culture. I, from Edo, can't help but appreciate the way they embrace one another, the warmth in their interactions, and the strength of their bonds. They place great importance on names, known as "Oruko," and I admire how they cherish their ancestors and carry their legacies forward through generations.

It's worth noting that my love for Yoruba culture does not diminish my love for my own Edo heritage. Rather, it serves as a testament to the beauty of diversity in Nigeria. We are a tapestry of cultures, each offering something unique and beautiful. The Yoruba culture, in all its magnificence, adds vibrancy to the mosaic of our nation.

So, as someone from Edo with a deep admiration for the Yoruba culture, I can't help but celebrate their traditions and their profound impact on Nigeria and Africa as a whole. The Yoruba culture, with its language, spirituality, art, and sense of community, is a treasure that enriches us all.

Agriculture / Re: Nigerian Agriculture Sector Won't Develop If We Continue This Way by GreatManBee: 5:11pm On Jul 14, 2023
idrisaleo1:
I have been on Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) and Nigeria Institute for Oil Palm Research's (NIFOR) website respectively trying to buy Cashew Nuts Seeds and Coconut Seedlings, but I would never be able to because of some corrupt individuals working against the interest of agriculture in the country. For goodness sake, what will it cost you to have a user friendly website where payments can easily be made and my products delivered to wherever I am in the country?

These are institutes heavily subsidised and are solely established to cater for the agricultural needs of Nigeria. However, buying anything from them is near impossible as some of their workers are rumoured to resell at exorbitant prices to not so willing but powerless buyers. To make this into perspective, NIFOR sells a seedling of Coconut for 1500 and the least you can probably get that outside their walls is 2500. Some go as selling for 5000 or even more. For CRIN's cashew nuts jumbo seeds, the establishment sells for 1500 per kg and you get that around 4500 or even more from these ugly individuals.

It takes forever for them to reply your emails, the phone details are not easily seen, they most probably don't have one. The only thing that works well with lack of transparency is the desire to steal, exploit, and/or extort. Call it anything, it's most likely a negative thing.

My question will be, why do we love exploiting and wreaking havocs on ourselves? How difficult is it to be a decent human being? Are we so useless we can't seem to get anything right? I believe we can do better and we should be doing better.

Admin, please kindly move to the front page. Let their ogas respond to these allegations.

Very true! I once wrote to IITA (ibadan), called the phone number and even visited some year ago in the needed to buy some seedlings for research. Unfortunately I never go any response! So bad!

Omens.

In my favorite book, the Alchemist, Paulo Coelho explains the power of omens. And at this moment, I believe the entire universe is conspiring to help me achieve my dream.

How?

I read about China/ Gaokao this morning and resolved to act on a new idea. Hours later, there’s a Nairaland frontpage story about a Chinese millionaire and Gaokao.

Great book I tell you. I read it about 7 years ago.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: My Experience Working In A Nigerian Startup by GreatManBee: 2:01pm On May 26, 2023
Supreme145:
I got a job late last year in a Nigerian startup firm as a web designer on a 150k salary. We initially had a bit of back and forth cos the boss wanted me to work onsite but I insisted on working remotely because I couldn't afford relocation to Lagos at that time.

Over six months down the line and it has been a terrible experience. I've been paid just twice in 6 months, and we have not been working since the middle of last month due to a scarcity of funds. I wonder what would have been my fate if I had relocated to Lagos.

Some months we work for just two weeks or thereabout, I work beyond office hours and even during weekends. There was a period my boss would keep me awake at midnight working. I just had to comply since I haven't been able to get another job and the freelance market isn't smiling either. I'm constantly broke for someone that is supposed to be earning 150k, even though it's not much but it should be able to sustain a single guy.

I'm really confused at this point cos I feel very much unemployed. My boss would read my messages on WhatsApp and lock up. I've asked him to update me on what's going on because I feel jobless and left in the cold. He viewed the message without a reply. I don't know how to proceed from this point and would appreciate any advice now because I am slowly sliding into depression.

I can put you through. I just did mine. But they wasted my time sha.

After uploading all the original documents, they still requested that the school should send Hard copies of the documents.

started processing in February, got it in April.

others are of the opinion that it's because I did not do a fast track service.

I did standard that should take 10 working days.

That's not true. I also did fast track and it took almost 2 months back and forth. I don't know why they requested for hardcopies from the institution again after my initial uploads. I ended up pay over 200k for nonsense in the school.. so frustrating..

Write a cover letter introducing yourself, job title then mention you are inviting your mum for a visit but don't mention omugwu/childcare. You can say she is visiting to see her grandchildren. Mention that she will be staying with you all through her stay that her flight, accommodation will be sorted by you.

Include her bank statement, it's very important and also, if she is currently working or retired add the letter(pension letter if any).
Attach your tenancy agreement, council tax, letter of invitation from you as well as the cover letter.

Your mum should write cover letter as well.

All the best.
