I work online as a software developer for clients in Africa, Europe, US and ASIA. Most of them contact me on finding my profile online.Despite the fact that they have to do a down payment before I start working on their projects, I have never disappeared with anyone's shilling. I always make sure that I deliver the work as agreed upon. This opens a lot of opportunities because they usually bring more clients. We grew up in absolute poverty but my mother taught us one thing, "NEVER STEAL". Many times we went without food but through it all, we trusted upon the LORD. So I want to pass the same advice to everyone, NEVER STEAL!

Thanks for the insight, but I'm still confused why Bitcoin and crypto prices keep dropping? This drop follows a number of other significant drops in recent weeks. I still hold enormous value of cryptos and it scares me. Whats your take on this?

[@dreamstime4272]

There are many reasons for this drop in value. One of the main reasons is that there is an ongoing debate about whether or not Bitcoin should be regulated as a security or as a currency.

Nice advice. Though many a times victims' info is shared and traces left on the public domains even without their knowledge,. I think ignorance is the best term to use here. If I were to to propose a MART safety and security policy that can give us viable outcomes, it would be to strictly hold accountable all administrators of both offline and online business engagements, social platforms plus other internet search engines in regard to customer data collection, privacy and sharing.

is so sad how parents are distant to their childrens nowadays

[@Crabtree1844]

It is easy to breed and produce children but it's PARENTING that is a challenge. Most parents turn their children to the TV to get their education while they paint their fake nails, apply fake eye-lashes, fake hair, and wear cheap immodest clothing from Ch*na. If you consider the cost and attention ONE child requires it is impossible to give the same attention to more than two children; and some have scattered their seed here, there, and everywhere.

[@njeps584]

So sad how youths and young adults blame parents for their wrong choices instead of admitting their mistakes and learn from them

This type of attack is called "carding." For a successful mission, you need a group of people to work with. It doesn't need a lot of technical skills, so it's easy to do. To prevent this attack, don't expose any details of your ATM cards or SIM card passwords because others don't target physical ATM cards but virtual ATM cards, which can be created through a phone number. Employers in the banking industry must deal with bank employees. Nobody can be trusted.
