“thousands of followers” are their business. It’s what’s more important to protect than a fellow human that was humiliated and raped by their “friend”.
You cannot reward that behavior with more followers. You cannot continue to reward them with a platform.
If you’re too lazy,
these are the accounts. EXCEPT you support rapists and rape apologists, by the end of today, do your civic duty, you should not be following ANY of these accounts.
On my end, by the end of today I’ll check on my mutuals to ensure nobody I’m following is endorsing any of these bullies and clowns. I implore you to do the same.

Please share this thread with someone who needs it.
Student discounts, student discounts, STUDENT DISCOUNTS. If you’re a
student & you go for an outing or to a cinema, be sure to ask if there are student discounts. Most places that offer student discounts would usually ask you if you’re a student if they think you look like a student, but if they don’t, feel free to ask
If you’re in London & you
use the public transport system: i.e. bus, tube, train, tram; get the Oyster card student discount. You can save up to 30% per month on transportation from this. Google “oyster card student discount”, and you’ll find all the steps to register on the TfL website
It seems like every generation falls into the trap of pushing everybody in the following generation into what is seen to be the most profitable/highest paying careers in their generation.
In our parents' generation, the emphasis was on going to college/university to study
usually, medicine, law or engineering.
This was because, at the very least, anyone with a university education in their generation was guaranteed a ticket out of poverty.
What parents do not get (and this generation seems not to have learnt) is the fact that if more people move
into a certain profession, the profession cannot be high paying for everyone
The reason why most people with a college education in the 80s/90s were guaranteed at minimum a good middle-class life was because the supply of people with the same skill level was not large. Since the
Q: How do you know when to sell your investment in fast growing assets like Tesla $TSLA or Bitcoin $BTC or Ethereum $ETH
A: You don’t KNOW, no one does
The only ways to KNOW are:
1. Have a time machine 2. Have access to insider information about what’ll happen in the future
Seeing as most of us have neither 1 nor 2, here’s what you can do.
One of 2 things is sure, you could sell today and the price would go up significantly and you’d regret it. Or you could sell today and the price would drop significantly and you’d thank your stars. With fast
growing assets, both things have a fairly good chance of happening in the nearest future.
So you cannot make the decision based on what you think would happen in the future because you just don’t know.
You have to make the decision based on where you are RIGHT NOW. You have to
“A $1,000 investment in Apple stock in 2010, would be worth $15,000+ today
$1,000 worth of Bitcoin $BTC at the start of 2016, is worth $70,000+ today”
What you don't hear is
“$1,000 invested in Cisco in March 2000, excluding dividends, was worth $200 in 2011
If you had invested $1,000 in Ripple $XRP in December 2017, you would have about $100 today”
What does this mean?
There is a huge survival bias when we talk about investments. Survivorship bias/survivor bias is simply the tendency to focus on things that did great and forget
those that did horribly.
For every exceptionally profitable investment you could have made in the past, there are disastrous ones you could have made. You never really KNOW which investments will be the biggest winners or losers in the future when you’re living in the moment.
It's great that more people are becoming aware of the importance of investing BUT, as we seek out more investment opportunities, you should know that unlike Shrek, all that glitters is not gold. Not all good looking investment opportunities are safe and legit.
You should also
know that an investment opportunity doesn't have to be a Ponzi scheme for you to run away from it.
Most of the investment opportunities available in the Nigerian Fintech space are 3rd party investment.
The way 3rd party investment works is: a company gets money from investors
to create value which can be in the form of a business (e.g. fish farm, real estate etc.). After a certain period, that business should generate profit and the company then pays investors their capital plus a share of that profit as returns.
Bitcoin recently hit $34,000 yesterday when as recent as October 10th, it was $11,000
Here’s some unsolicited advice: If you feel you have “bad luck” with investing; i.e. you feel that “if you buy Bitcoin today, the price of Bitcoin will drop”; don’t buy in.
Here’s why I say so
I try to never categorically give financial advice because I’d rather show people how I’d make decisions if I were in their shoes and I like (prefer) people to think for themselves and consciously make decisions they feel is best for them or decisions they can live with and not
just go off what some random person on the internet says BUT I’ll make an exception this time and tell you this, if you think you have bad luck with investing, don’t buy in. Here’s why:
People that feel they have bad luck with investing often have 3 things in common:
