Investment / Re: Crypto Currency Investors Thread by Hogbemisola(m): 12:25pm On Jun 29, 2022
nwele2017:

Hello guys, I have been receiving a lot of mails from you guys. I just want to remind you all that investing in shitcoins comes with high risk but rewarding if you have the right information. I don’t believe in giving people fish, I believe in teaching them how to fish. Most of you have requested that I callout some good shitcoins (gems) they can invest in. the thing is that I cannot always be to give you good shitcoins to invest in andin other to collect 2x ,3x ,10x or even 100x from but you can always learn how to find your shitcoins yourself since there are thousands of shitcoins out there for you to research on. They say that the only difference between a rich and a poor man is information. I am not selling any E-book , I am asking not for your money, I am only giving back to the community where I have benefited from.
The only shitcoins I have called out here for people to buy are moontoken and poocoin so far.
Moon token have started mooning already in two days time it will be listed on hotbit also poocoin, I made the call when it was 10$ and now its at 13$. Nothing I say is a financial advice, I am simpy sharing my own opinions with you. Do your own research on anything I said and form your own opinion.
Today, due so much mails I Having receiving I have decide to share this with you guys, last time I showed you guys how to make use of Pancake swap though I didn’t finish that due to chance.
Today I will sharing with you all ways of spotting a Rug-bull

1. Be careful with presales. The scam rate is more than 80%

2. Don’t buy if you see huge dev wallet (the coin developer). Look at their BSCscan link and look under holders. Does a single wallet own >5% of the total supply? And do top 10 holders own >20%? If yes, stay away.

3. Don’t buy just because it’s upvoted a lot and has a lot of awards. It’s easy to ask on telegram to upvote and it only costs a few bucks to award a post.

4. Don’t buy without verifying that liquidity. Don’t listen to the devs saying it’s locked, always verify it for yourself, but never forget that even if the liquidity is locked, scammers can have a mint method that creates more coins out of thin air.

5. Don’t buy if you see thousands of twitter followers but barely likes or comments. They bought the followers for $20 bucks. Same thing with Telegram. Important stuff to check on the Telegram group: Is it an active group? Admins are responding to questions? Is the team open and visible? Have they made an airdrop?

6. Don’t Listen if it’s a team with previous 100x. It’s most likely a lie. Why would they create a second coin if the first one was so good? People don’t have time to work on two projects at once. They are trying to fool you. And if they are really creating multiple ones, the answer is simple, it’s a pump and dump.
7. Avoid buying in the first 30-60 minutes. I know you miss the best entry doing it but given the # of scams now, it’s worth waiting. Alays wait for the first dip.

8. No website but maximum shill . If they say guaranteed 100x and have barely done any work, it's a scam. Legit projects usually have their website already created by the time they are launched.

9. Advertising “presales sold out in x seconds/minutes” is not always a good thing. It can all be bought up by people who will dump shortly after launch (bots).

10. Verify that the developer are known. If you don't know the owner, it's a huge gamble. I leave this one last because almost 99% of coins here fail this point and there are some that have unknown devs that succeeded.
You can also check ….
Has the project at least one real use case.? Always check which are the use cases of the tokens. Just meme tokens are not good for long-term.

Do they have audit? It’s always good to check if the token already passed an Audit. Take into account that it doesn’t guarantee it’s 100% safe, but it helps.
Are manual burning in their future? Verify with the developer his plans on manual burning and future projections.

Do they have partnership? If a token has a legit partnership could mean that the project is 100% legit, since it’s launched. An example is Richie: his developer is the same as FEG token dev.
Are there mint functions in the contract? It would be great to check on the contract if the code contains mint functions. If yes, this could be malicious and must be avoided. That means that the developer could create new tokens, so the total supply would increase = the price would go down.
Somebody here created two whatsapp group one for beginners in shitcoins trading and another for people who have some experience in trading shitcoin. I do share tips and tricks at times on these groups. I also make calls on some shitcoins which you can perform your research on.

Religion / A Brief Introduction Judaism by Hogbemisola(m): 9:10pm On Nov 06, 2013
Judaism is the religion commonly linked to Jewish people. It is based on the principles contained in the Hebrew Bible, the Tanakh, which are expanded and explained in the Talmud.

In 2007, the world Jewish population was of 13.2 million, 41 percent of which reside in Israel, whilst the remaining is spread around the world (the diaspora).

Jewish history begins with the covenant established between God and Abraham around 1812 BC, during the Bronze Age, in the Middle East. Abraham is a central figure in Judaism, being considered the Patriarch and progenitor of the Jewish people. Under God’s guidance, the Jews became a powerful nation with kings such as Saul, David, and Solomon, who built the first Temple. Subsequently, this was the site around which Jewish worship was centred. The Temple contained the Ark of the Covenant, and was the exclusive site for certain religious rituals.

Throughout their history, Jewish people experienced times of great expansion and advance in knowledge (both theological and scientific) which were interspersed by periods of persecution and massacres. The Jews were slaughtered during the Christian Crusades and, along with Muslims, were persecuted and object of hatred in Europe in the 13th and 15th centuries and most recently, during the Holocaust. In this period alone 6 million Jewish people were killed, 1 million of which were children. War crimes trials of those involved in the Holocaust continue to this day.

In 1947 the United Nations agreed to create the State of Israel in what was then Palestine. In 1948 the British military forces withdrew from the region after a period of violence against them by the Jews; and thus the State of Israel was born. Since then there have been several wars between the Arab countries around Israel and the latter, which have been marked by several invasions and great loss of lives. The most notable living example of the political instability between Israel and the surrounding Arab states is revealed by the ongoing political and military battles between Israel and the Palestinian people.
Beliefs and principles
The Jewish religion is based on the principle that there is only one indivisible all- powerful, all-knowing and all-present God, who is fair and just and the creator of the universe and mankind. God’s law, the Torah, as given to Moses on the Mount Sinai reveals His character and His will for his children. It is the Jewish belief that God still acts in the world as it is today, and that He establishes a personal relationship with every one of His followers. It is the Jewish tradition to keep God’s laws and to bring holiness into every aspect of their lives. It is their belief that the Jews are God’s chosen people, whose responsibility is to set an example of holiness and morality to the rest of the world.

The experience of Judaism is very much a community one; they consider themselves to be an integrating part of a global community. Many of the Jewish traditions are based around the family and home activities.

Being a Jew is very much a blood matter. Often, in order to be considered a Jew, a child must be born of a Jewish mother. However, sometimes the children of Jewish fathers are also considered Jews. There is substantial overlap between the cultural and religious aspects of the Jewish identity. Even if a Jew converts to a different religion, they are still considered Jews. Conversely, it is not easy to convert to Judaism, if not born into this cultural/ religious setting.

Perhaps one of the most striking aspect of Jewish theology is the rejection of Christ as the Messiah, in sharp contrast to the Christian belief. It is generally accepted that Jesus was a Jew himself, most probably a Pharisee (teacher/theologian) of the more liberal wing. The facts that Jesus was crucified and no peace was established, and that there was a putative openness to discussion in synagogues (making Christ’s somewhat revolutionary concepts unsurprising) are some of the Jewish arguments for their stance on Jesus. The Jews are therefore still waiting for their Messiah.

Even though Judaism is one of the oldest religions still in place today, throughout times it has been influenced by other religious currents, namely Christianity, Islam and the Bahai faith.

Interesting facts
The Jewish calendar is marked by several holidays which reflect both their beliefs and history. The Jewish holidays are summarised below.

Days of repentance
During the 10 days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur everyone gets a chance to repent.
¤ Hanukkah Hanukkah or Chanukah is the Jewish Festival of Lights. It dates back to two centuries before the beginning of Christianity. Passover Passover is one of the most important religious festivals in the Jewish calendar, celebrated to commemorate the liberation of the Children of Israel who were led out of Egypt by Moses.
¤ Purim Purim commemorates the time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from extermination by the courage of a young Jewish woman called Esther.
¤ Rosh Hashanah Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year festival and commemorates the creation of the world. Sabbath Every week religious Jews observe the Sabbath, the Jewish holy day, and keep its laws and customs.
¤ Shavuot Shavuot marks the time that the Jews received the Torah on Mount Sinai. It is considered a highly important historical event.
¤ Sukkot Sukkot commemorates the years that the Jews spent in the desert on their way to the Promised Land.
¤ Tisha B’av Tisha B'av is a solemn occasion because it commemorates a series of tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people over the years
¤ Tu B’Shevat Tu B'Shevat is the Jewish 'New Year for Trees'. It is one of the four Jewish new years (Rosh Hashanahs).
¤ Yom Hashoah Yom Hashoah is a day set aside for Jews to remember the Holocaust.
¤ Yom Kippur- The Day of Atonement Yom Kippur, the most sacred and solemn day of the Jewish year, brings the Days of Repentance to a close.

As an important iconic figure in d association, there are some tins to b left unsaid cos dey may latter b used against him.

Thou he has freedom to his personal opinion but hyping Messi for media and the whole soccer lovers against other contenders in the race of Ballon d'Or will not do any good to the association rather reduce the confidence and trust the public av for them in choosing the winner.
