What are some jobs that are likely to keep you poor?

Uber driver — you beat up your own car for pretty much minimum wage. No room for advancement.

Waiter at a low-end chain restaurant. You’ll be treated like a number; sent home if it’s slow.

Lose prime shifts if you ever call in sick. The chain will eventually go out of business and you’ll have to start all over again at a new chain.

Social worker. This usually requires an advanced degree but the pay is poor and burnout high. It’s God’s work, but the job may kill your soul.

Sex industry worker. Does this need expounding upon? (EDIT: According to the comments, I guess it does. In short, there are no benefits in this field, no 401Ks, no longterm stability and a high chance that most money will be lost as a part of the porn lifestyle — drugs, plastic surgery, etc.)

How did Michael Jordan become a billionaire?

Firstly, he had a great salary from the NBA. He often made close to $100M a year.

He also managed to create a personal brand, and get stakes in that brand and the Charlotte Hornets basketball team.

He made some sensible decisions as well, including his decision to gain a profit from each shoe that Nike sold from his collection, rather than getting paid more upfront.

In addition to that, he seems to have avoided some of the lifestyle traps of many other sports and entertainment stars.

Remember, around 60% of former pro-basketball stars have gone broke within 5 years of retirement.

There are countless former sports stars who also made close to $100m a year, and went bust. So he seems more sensible than many sports stars.

Finally, what has also helped is compounding. He wasn’t a billionaire when he was 25 or 30.

He has built up over decades. He is 56. He become a billionaire in 2014 at the age of around 51.

This is another scam business on a WhatsApp group.

Their WhatsApp number is: +234 706 194 7833

They will look for your number and add you to their WhatsApp group without your permission. They will then ask you to leave the group if you don’t like what they’re doing.

The moderators are maniacal criminals who would quickly remove you from the group if you ever question what they do, and also private message you to abuse you (PM, DM, PC).

Unlimited 100% Fixedgame promises to give you numbers that win sports bets 100% of the time. They say you cannot lose because they have access to secrets of fixed matches.

But you need to send money to get the numbers to do sports betting games. Send money to them at your peril… They remove you quickly from their group afterwards.

Mission accomplished.

If they know numbers that could win 100% of the time, why can’t they and their family only play the game and become rich? Why must they spend a lot of time and energy persuading people to be rich?

These scoundrels use many means to dupe people, but it boils down to, “SEND MONEY TO RECEIVE MONEY.”

They have many cousins, like Assured Wealth Management, Lavita Ricca Investment, and others.

When we talk about cryptocurrency and Blockchain technology, we should be witnessing an infectious adoption on a global scale. These technologies can further enhance self-governance, thereby improving the security in the world. The obvious ensuing step that should be taken is a mainstream adoption of this technology.

There are a good number of reasons why mainstream adoption hasn’t been achieved yet. One of these reasons is that cryptocurrency and Blockchain inventors are yet to create a singular product that can function as a sort of Blockchain ecosystem. Such a product is sure to gain acceptance on a global scale.

This is the concept the Telegram Open Network is aiming to achieve. This guide aims to educate the reader on what the Telegraph Open Network (TON) is and how it is positioning itself to achieve global mainstream adoption.

Table of Contents
What Is Telegram Open Network (TON)?
The Telegram Open Network will be a game-changer for social messaging. The Blockchain is a project born of social media behemoth, Telegram, which will be launched at the end of October.

So far, a total of $1.7 billion has been raised in funding for this project through 200 private investors via an Initial Coin Offering. This project can be a very lucrative venture for new investors to hop on considering the insane amount of users that the platform has.

One of the major focuses of this project will be on Blockchain scaling. Blockchain scaling has lasting issues stalking the crypto space and TON claims to have the remedy to this.

The major challenge facing Existing Blockchains is its inability to scale enough to process large amounts of transactions suitable for mass adoption.

TON is also planning to provide adequate security for users. The primary goal of this technology is to boost cryptocurrency adoption across the globe and this would be impossible if they fail to provide round-the-clock security and insurance for its users. The decentralized nature of TON is going to be of great essence to this cause.

The Telegram Open Network project is not some other conventional ICO. This technology is also not built on any pre-existing Blockchain, instead, TON comes with its very Blockchain, the TON Blockchain. This system also has its cryptocurrency, GRAM coin, its consensus mechanism, and its virtual machine.

The native coin, GRAM, can be utilized for several functions on the Blockchain including micro-payments, providing access to DApps, payment of fees and also, generating value for messages via the Telegram Messenger app.

This Blockchain boasts of being able to facilitate transactions in a matter of seconds with limited or no charges. The TON platform comprises of a Blockchain and 292 supplementary networks. The Blockchain will possess the ability to support “sharding technology”, which is guaranteed to improve transaction speeds.

Sharding is a method for splitting the whole network into a bunch of compartments called shards, that incorporate their autonomous piece of state and transaction history. The central principle behind sharding is to conduct transactions in a parallel manner to distinguish data into several small Blockchains that can communicate with one another.

The public Blockchain also features a decentralized application platform and a peer-to-peer sharing and hosting economy.

In the Telegram Open Network’s white paper statement, the Company is planning on merging the messaging app platform with a wide array of other characteristics. The function will be most useful for knowledgeable crypto users.

History of TON
Back in 2013, some tech enthusiasts yearned to create a system that offers freedom by way of encryption. This was the desire that makes TON a reality today. TON was created to sustain a stringent independent nature and also to be a not-for-profit entity. The company followed in the of its mentor, Wikipedia, by creating a ‘.org’ domain to accentuate its non-commercial nature even further.

Telegram is an instant messaging cloud-based voice-over-IP service that was created by Telegram Messenger LLP. The founding fathers of the company are Pavel Durov and Nikolai Durov.

The ideology of substantial decentralization by the founding fathers is also witnessed in the physical foundation of TON. The company makes use of a server design that is scattered across several independent server clusters to guarantee data encryption.

Due to impressive features like encryption, speed, and autonomy, Telegram witnessed an extensive reception from millions of users in just a few months after its release. Subsequently, Telegram has evolved into a system that grosses over 12 updates in a year. In the first quarter of 2016, the system had 100 million active users and was delivering as much as 15 billion messages daily.

In the last quarter of 2017, the system received 170 million new users and was delivering as much as 70 billion messages daily basis. As of March of 2018 Telegram had 200 million active users. As of today, 500,000 users are added to the platform daily basis. Experts claim that these figures are only going to continue growing exponentially manner over the years.

Telegram says it is planning on using these remarkable figures to facilitate the widespread adoption of its cryptocurrency.

Features of TON
Information about the protocol as well as information about validators and their balances are stored on the Blockchain. Unlike most cryptocurrencies, GRAM does not provide support for mining, instead, the validity of transactions on the platform are determined by ‘validators’ who receive a small commission for every completed task.

There are also ‘working’ Blockchains which enables the user conduct smart contracts. These Blockchains are configured with different rules and make use of various Virtual Machines to execute the smart contracts.

Based on its white paper release, the Telegram Open Network will have several components including:

1- TON proxy:
This is a mechanism on the network that will help users mask their identities and create a decentralized virtual private network (VPN) to guarantee online privacy. This mechanism is done in a bid to ensure that the services being provided, including Telegram, has adequate protection form censorship.

2- TON storage:
This is described as a file storing mechanism used for the storage of arbitrary files that possess torrent-like access technology and contracts used to implement availability.

3- TON services:
This is an inaugurated platform that will be used to guarantee decentralized browsing experience and also for smart contracts.

4- TON DNS:
This feature will allow for access to available decentralized services to its users by designating accounts with human-readable labels.

5- TON payments:
This will provide support for instant off-chain payments within the network. It also features in-built safeguards to ensure security when conducting transfers, making sure that these transactions are as secure as on-chain transactions.

6- TON virtual machine:
This is the mechanism that facilitates smart contracts on the network.

What Is GRAM Cryptocurrency?
For a Blockchain to function properly, there has to be a native cryptocurrency. Telegram has issued GRAM as the base cryptocurrency for TON. This coin will function mainly as part of the in-app ecosystem on Telegram and will be used as a means for payment. The external use of this coin is still yet to be confirmed.

GRAM is built on a proof-of-stake protocol and protected using “smart contracts”. This will allow the network to conduct up to 10 million transactions per second.

Furthermore, The GRAM coin can be used for the following purposes:

Payment for in-built services delivered by DApps.

It can be used to pay for the storage and security and security of data in a decentralized manner.

To pay for the registration of Blockchain domain names as well as for hosting whatever TON-related sites.

To pay for the masking of identities and IP addresses, from specified viewers to improve on privacy even further.

To pay for the avoidance of censorship that internet service providers normally enforce.

To pay for digital and physical assets sold by brokers inside the TON ecosystem or on other TON-related projects.

With regards to the business model practiced by TON, their services are free for its users, in what TON calls a ‘Freemium’.

Potential Competitor
The obvious competition TON will be faced with is Facebook’s cryptocurrency project, Libra.

Libra is a platform that will conduct almost the same functions as the Telegram Open Network. Libra’s major aims are to, first, manufacture a singular digital currency that will achieve global adoption. The second primary aim is to create a facilitates domestic and international financial transactions on a basic mobile interface. This system will be built on a Blockchain architecture capable of achieving great speeds, security, and scalability. It also plans on achieving a fully decentralized system as time goes by.

These are goals that TON has also set for itself. Though they both have different characteristics, it is obvious that they share similar qualities. This has caused experts to believe that these entities will exhibit intense competition when they are launched. Whether these Blockchain giants become rivals or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that they receive extensive adoption on the global front and bring more advancements to cryptocurrency and Blockchain technology.

With the headway TON has been gathering, it is expected that this product will receive an extensive adoption globally.

Do people still use Nairaland?

As someone who has been a member of Nairaland, Nigeria’s largest discussion forum since 2005 when it was founded by Seun Osewa, i’m in a good position to answer this question.

Yes, people still use Nairaland and a lot of people at that even though i’ll say that the popularity has dipped as a lot f people have left the forum but newer people have joined and are still joining.

Some years ago, i couldn’t do without Nairaland but that has changed over the years as i don’t frequent the forum as much as i used to because of the mental shift that has happened.

Back in the day, you had the most intelligent Nigerians domiciled on Nairaland. Any information you needed,from politics, sports, entertainment, Virtual reality, food, you name it all had people that were experts in them and less intelligent people found it difficult to register talk more of comment on topics because they were intimidated by the caliber of people on the forum.

In recent times, you have every Uche, Kelechi and Wasiu on the forum, the average IQ of Nairaland as today is not desirable as most people there are not interested in engaging in any meaningful debate rather the forum is riddled with kids and unruly characters looking for whom to insult.

Former Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode performed well, especially in the areas of infrastructure. Many people are still giving positive comments about him.

However, because Lagos APC wasn’t happy with him, he was prevented from going for second term.

He’s even currently persecuted.

Now, would he have won if he was allowed to contest?

Our constitution allow him to go for second term anytime. So he can still rule Lagos for another 4 years, provided that he wins a gubernatorial election in future.

I know Ambode cannot contest on APC platform again; nor would Jimi Agbaje (even Lagos PDP), allow him to use their platform. But I know he can join other lesser known political parties – for they’ll gladly welcome him – and he can win.

Wouldn’t Akinwunmi Ambode plan a comeback with another party?

Can he ever win if he does this? Will Ambode do that?

Is there any car which thieves can not steal?

Tesla’s are about as good as it gets. There is no door or steering lock to break or pick.

They are tracked 24/7 by Tesla and / or the owner. They can be remotely disabled and many parts are VIN coded and cannot be used in other cars. Nobody has yet cracked recoding these parts.

Even if a thief disables the GPS on a Tesla, the car can be tracked and recovered by detecting where it is being charged.

Just about the only thing a thief could do would be to immediately disable both high and low voltage batteries, tow it away in a shipping container and use only body and interior parts for fixing another Tesla. The expensive drivetrain and computers would be worthless.

Is the quality of life in Australia and New Zealand better than in the U.S.?

I an American that moved here after my 44 wife of died of colon cancer after her insurance was cancelled because the renewal came due when she was being treated. I can honestly say my only regret was not moving sooner because she may well still be alive.

New Zealand is so much better that America in so many ways. No guns, no BS politics, no enemies. Excellent healthcare that is available at no extra cost than your taxes to everyone including some tourists.

The environment is far better, the people more friendly and it is absolutely beautiful. I live in a small seaside town less than a 10 minute walk to miles of beautiful swimming beaches that have no hotels, no houses or any structures. Just like it should be.

If you are considering a relocation here please leave the American white supremacist attitudes, racism and hatred for foreigners there. We don’t have it and don’t want it.

Hollywood Star Ventures Into Security Tokens


As groundbreaking innovations continue to penetrate the finance space, it is almost impossible for this innovation not to spread to other industries. The movie industry is one of such sectors currently experiencing such revolutions. This is due to the invention of distributed technologies like Blockchain, which has brought about the concept of tokenizing everything.

Tokenization is the practice of amplifying the liquidity of real-world assets. The idea behind tokenization is the same as stocks or shares, which denotes fractional ownership of stakes in a company. Anything and everything can be tokenized, and many believe it’s only a matter of time before everything is.


Daywalker Movie Fund

Award-winning actor, director, producer and martial artist Wesley Snipes, is on a bid to capitalize on this advancement with tokenization. The Hollywood actor in collaboration with Liechtenstein Cryptoassets Exchange (LCX), is planning to tokenize $25 million for a movie fund. The project is known as “Daywalker Movie Fund” (DMF) which intends to invest in Wesley Snipes and his production house, Maandi House Studios will create a medium for investors all over the globe to acquire a share in the fund’s production.


LCX plans on launching a fully compliant security token offering (STO) with the DMF, which will be represented by the DMF security token, to create a level playing field for both retail investors and Hollywood financiers.



Regulatory Perks

STOs, like initial coin offerings (ICO), provide value via a digital token. Although, security tokens, unlike ICOs, are developed with a firm foundation of regulatory due diligence. Also, security tokens represent real assets, much like shares in a company or equity in real estate while ICOs offer a token that can be utilized only through specific infrastructure.

One major characteristic that gives security tokens its legitimization is it’s time ties to regulatory governance. However, the operational construct of tokenization differs across jurisdictions. In Liechtenstein, where LCX is situated, the regulatory body passed a law dubbed the Blockchain Act. The act virtually provides an explicit legal basis for ownership as well as a safe storage of the security tokens. It also provides strict rules concerning Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements.


An Increasing Demand For Tokenization

Wesley Snipes will not be the first to undertake this journey into movie tokenization. The pioneering body of the concept is tZERO, a Blockchain subsidiary of a U.S. retail company Overstock.com.

There is a rising demand for tokenized funding, considering that there is a dire need in the film industry for new avenues for liquidity. Normally, funding in the film industry comes from different revenue streams like hedge funds and individual investors from wealthy individuals. The downside to this in contrast to security tokens is that creates a situation whereby ownership of the finished product is shared with the investor.

If you’re familiar with our business and services, you’ll see that we give preferential treatment to Access Bank customers.

But now, the good news is that, Diamond Bank customers can now enjoy the same preferential treatments like Access Bank customers.

It’s no longer news that Diamond Bank is now part of Access Bank. Diamond Bank doesn’t exist anymore, and all their former customers are now essentially Access Bank customers.

What does that mean?

It means, if Access Bank customers get N332/$ or N322/$ during NETELLER withdrawals, former Diamond Bank customers also enjoy the same benefits.
