1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Thailand to Legalize Gambling To combat Illegal gambling or.... on: June 24, 2024, 09:31:45 PM
I read an article about Thailand's Prime Minister planning to legalize gambling in order to combat illegal gambling.  He also stated that the illegal gambling operation are earning trillions of baht but are not contributing to the nation.  Read more about the news here:
    Thai PM: Legalise gambling to tackle existing illegal gambling




I believe the Thai PM realized that they are losing for not making gambling legal in their country.  I believe it is not to combat the illegal gambling but rather to take advantage of the gambling activities to get more taxes to fund the country's treasury.  It was said that if gambling is legalized the country might bring an amount ranging from TBH30B to TBH50B (US$0.8bn to US$1.3bn) in investments to the country aside from the annual taxes that can be earned from gambling industries.

I also think that it is a wise decision on the PM side since it is impossible to stop gambling, so why not take advantage of it for the country's development?  Your thought?

If the prime minister have realized that they've been doing themselves a big disservice by criminalizing gambling and have now realize their mistake, then it's a welcome development, at least as a government they now realize that they can make revenue from the activities of gambling in their country once is made legal. At this point now, you will see an in flocks of casinos and bet companies coming to invest in the country, because that's like a new market that will be opening for them, on the other hand, a lot of persons are keenly waiting for this kind of opportunity for them to explore their gambling ability and make money for themselves, so it's a win win situation for both the government and the citizens.

I have Croatia to not score against Italy. It’s HT now and 0-0, I am not watching the game but looking at the stats Italy have only had 38% possession which indicates Croatia are dominating the match with the ball at least.

Maybe I have made a bad decision here, this is not a great Italian team like in the past.

Edit - FFS & there it is 1-0.
Yes Croatia where initially dominating Italy up to a point they where leading that 1-0, but instead of the Croatian team to capitalize on that one goal and put more pressure on Italy and score more goals, Instead they relaxed and allowed the pressure to come on them during the die minute of the game, unfortunately for the Croatians the Referee added additional 8 minutes to extra time of play, and the Italian made sure they used the remaining minutes to their advantage, they eventually scored to make it 1-1. So Croatia and Albania are the least in Group B, Spain having 9 points and Italy having 4 points, so they both have qualified for the next stage of the competition.

Maybe the position between first and second place will not be much different. Manchester City could indeed retain the championship title again next season. Or Arsenal will be the one who succeeds in winning the title next season. But for Liverpool and other teams that have just had new coaches, I think it will be quite difficult for them to enter the title competition with Arsenal and Manchester City. Arsenal will definitely be able to maintain the quality of their performance. because Arteta has proven to be able to keep Arsenal in second place for two seasons. And even this season and last season we saw Arsenal's development become much better. And it is not impossible that Arsenal next season will be much stronger than this season. So that fiercer competition with Manchester City will occur again.
Next seasons title race is one I really don't get to seeing Liverpool as a team that will be in that race, I believe it will be between Manchester city and Arsenal again as both teams are still in their good form and still appear ready to contend again for the title, for Manchester city they will be defending the title while Arsenal will be trying to win the till for the first time in the past five or more seasons after several trials. Arteta has been of a very great help to Arsenal and i still see in him that zeal and want to winning the league title this season, even with what ever circumstances that may come, I believe Arteta will still make sure to do all he can to win the title.

Other teams like Liverpool and Chelsea may have to contend for the third position on the table because the first and second most likely will be between Arsenal and Manchester city,  except there be an unexpected rapid improvement that will get any of the others getting the ability to compete at the level of contending for the league title just like it did happened in the bundlesliga last season and all the teams weren't expecting to see what happened until it eventually happened that Leverkusen won the league title, Chelsea and Liverpool shouldn't be underestimated els they may get the whole premier league shocked when they eventually utilize opportunities they have gotten.
I agree with you with some of your points, arsenal and Manchester are still in a good form, but that was for last season, every season comes with it's own attributes, as most clubs too are trying to restrategize how to come back and make a difference, as things cannot always remain the ways it was last season, as this is football the uncertainty too is high.

As for Chelsea and Liverpool that you said that they are to contend for the third position, which is laughable for me, you really need to be open minded with other teams. if Arteta was that strategic, he would have at least been able to win the league for the second time attempt, though I'm not writing him off but I'm giving room for other teams too.

Germany managed to score a golal in extra time.
This was a vital point for them since also Spain will probably end 1st on its group, Germany positioning themself in 1st position have managed to avoid the game against Spain in the 1st elimination stage.

They will now probably face Italy or Croatia instead.
I'm so surprise to see Germany struggling to get a draw against Switzerland in a match that many people believed would be an easy win for the host nation. Well, they might have felt that since they already qualified, there was no point fighting too hard but assuming the lost the match, Switzerland would have topped the group. This draw also shows that surprises are not excluded from this competition because many people would have placed a direct win bet on Germany. As for me, I usually avoid games where the favorite side do not have any reason to be too competitive unless I have monitored them so well to see that their care more about records than the trophy.
I've repeatedly said that, is not looking like there is any underdog in this Europe 2024 tournament, the kind of string this other supposed underdogs countries are pulling, is so surprising that your predictions for games you've booked in your bet slip, you will have to revisit them and make amends for  the one's you can still be able to as most predictions are not going as planned. Germany nearly lost that match, if not for that late minute goal, literally Germany where even begging for draw, in a game people had already thought it was a walk over for them, they should just thanks their star's that they've been able to qualify to the next Round of the competition, there is still more lifeline to prepare harder for tougher opponents.

In today's match Türkiye vs Portugal two teams will face each other and these two teams are very strong in the group stage. The two teams are in first and second position in Group F and it is difficult to say which team will win today's match. But we can relatively estimate that this match is Portugal compared to strong Turkey so if you bet for Portugal as the favorite team it will definitely be possible to win. According to today's Mays budget odds we can see Portugal under the win as Portugal is more likely to win.



Türkiye beat Georgia 3-1 in the first match. Arda Güler was the man of the match. He scored a great goal. But the match could have ended with a different score. Georgia had very important scoring positions. On the other hand, Portugal finished the first half of the match defeated against Czechia. But they scored 2 goals in the second half and won the match. Portugal are the favorites in this match. But it will not be an easy match even for Portugal. Türkiye have very young and dynamic players like Arda Güler and Kerem Aktürkoğlu. One of them can change the score at any moment today.
No game in this tournament is looking like an easy match for anybody not even Portugal, I saw how they struggled against Czech before they won, Turkey won Georgia, so turkey have secured three points, now Georgia Vs Czech are playing 1- 1 with over 30 minutes of play still remaining  which means if the game end like this both Georgia and Czech are likely going to exit together, because they will he sharing points per piece leaving both of them at the bottom of the group. Turkey on the other hand might want to pull  a stunt against Portugal, because in every one's lips, they would be writing them off, but those guys are fierce with their attack from what I've seen.

Well, this is not me trying to sound pessimistic but what if Rollbit is the one that is secretly paying other casino platforms to list the RLB token? Do you think the token will still gain as much attention in that future if Rollbit stops paying for the listings?
If listings are free, it's good but if it is paid listing, it's not actually bad.

There is no free lunch in most cases and if listings even with fees, expensive or cheap, can bring positive effects in long term, it is worthy to pay.

Rollbit offers the community some tournaments on their platform with lucrative award pools. Details are in this post on X

I agree with you, those casinos might have at least seen some level of significance in the Rollbit project before listing the token on their platform wether it was payed for it or not.

The amount for this tournament Rollbit is sponsoring is heavily mouth watering. well, I'm a keen football analyst and follower, since the tournament is about the Europe 2024 and Copa America, I will definitely  roll out my slips.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What ruined your chances of investing in Bitcoin earlier? on: June 22, 2024, 08:47:12 AM
I had an opportunity to invest early in Bitcoin but ignorance and lack of funds ruined my chances. I discovered Bitcoin in the early stages but ignorance never allowed me pay attention to it back then, to be honest I felt it was a new scam to steal people's money therefore I didn't even care to learn about it when i first had the opportunity to, but along the line I picked Interest in it when Bitcoin attained a height above $10k in 2017 but I was very unwilling to invest the pocket money I earned from my dad since I didn't have any job back then and solely depended on my parents for financial support.

 Nevertheless, my doubt about Bitcoin got cleared when Bitcoin went beyond $17k and got to about $25k plus towards the ending of November in 2020, I had no choice but to invest with the little money I got from linear jobs I was earning from by then, and it really helped me that December when it crossed $28k and I was able to get food items and gifts for my parents with some of the profits I got from it. If only I had invested earlier or had been able to convince my parents to try invest since they were financially capable of doing so but I was so ignorant and had doubts over the future of BItcoin.

 However I'm so grateful for joining this great forum that's helped to enhance my knowledge concerning Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies at large to a certain level and currently I don't regret anymore since I've realised that it's not too late to invest more and hold for the future cause I've seen and now believe that  the chances of Bitcoin attaining more heights is still very possible.
In the early days of Bitcoin most of us in the sup Sahara African region didn't get the information on time, so to an extent our geographical location was a bit of hindrance for some of us. From the 2017 period you quoted that Bitcoin was above $10k, you could only have a microscopic few that could be able to afford to get Bitcoin at that time given the uncertainty that is always attached to a new commodity in this part of the world. But just like you said, that in 2020 you had to invest the amount you had with you haven seen the success stories and the growth of Bitcoin over time, that's exactly the same way some person's in this part of the world where I come from starting investing little by little, especially based on the knowledge on ground and what we've come to understand over time.
8  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy BTC sold for 16 BTC-1 mil USD on: June 21, 2024, 08:12:45 PM
But at this time there is to much crap being created and to many collections of just some dumb shit etc
Just too much of it especially for NFTs
I've been thinking about what could be next highly  priced items
Maybe an Art of  the first commercial  transaction  that made btc well known till today.... The Pizza BTC art could  be made in a dynamic way  
In the future more painting and more artwork from Bitcoin will certainly come up and people will spend reasonable amount of money in just having it for themselves. The other day, kylian Mbappé spent a whooping sum of £520,000 for a painting of king pele of Brazil. https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2024/kylian-mbappe-spends-e520000-on-a-painting-of-pele/
As time goes on, people will always spend good amount of money for something they have passion for or can identify their passion with. You and I can actually put up a nice painting of Bitcoin logo that can be eye capturing with all the aesthetics, and we decide to auction it online for people to bid for it, don't be surprised we will see somebody that will be ready to spend a fortune just to get that piece of artwork in his house.
It’s obvious people get attracted to what they love and want but I don’t see myself spending a huge amount buying what’s not valuable or what will not yield profit within a long period of time. Let’s just say wealthy people will buy without looking at the price tag or the value but we should not expect everyone to do same like buying a low value stuff with a huge amount of money.
Some people buy things without the aim of making profit from them; they just want to help those things gain adoption and also have value or gain more value. For instance, the person who bought the "buy bitcoin sign" for 1 million dollars has helped bitcoin gain adoption. For instance, when you see the news that someone bought a "buy bitcoin sign" for 1 million dollars, you will want to know the reason why someone used such a large amount of money to buy the "buy bitcoin sign." In the process of your research, you find out the problems bitcoin will solve in the world, and you will not want to be left out. Before you know it, you will start making plans to accumulate bitcoin. Some people also buy things that will not give them profit or have no value just to appreciate the creators of those things.

Yea, but I am sure that before people buy things they have visualize the future of the particular stuff they are purchasing to ascertain the possible value of such item, what I believe is that rich individuals always have a means of adding value to things, remember the Bitcoin whales are not the only people investing in Bitcoin but just because there presence is felt based on the quantity of Bitcoin the have in their possession, in the world today many rich people know that Bitcoin has dominated the digital market and I believe the purchase of the paper sign was for diversification, hence we know that speculation and some strong moves are the major factors that triggers investment may that's the reason for this kind of purchase, in conclusion, lets not be bothered about the money used to purchase this sign, our major concern should be the motive behind it.
Sometimes most rich men do things or buy expensive asset to oppress the poor ones, most of the them buy for the future for instance a land bought $1000 can amount to $10000 in time coming, sometimes time they buy things at high cost for fun. The way a rich man will invest in Bitcoin is not same way a poor man will invest a rich man can decide to invest aggressively, accumulating enough Bitcoin not minding the present price even if it very high  because they have other source of income that will help them not to sell out there Bitcoin hodling until it got to a centre price they will want it to get to in order to make enough profit from there Bitcoin investment.

I don't think there is any form of oppression against anyone when a rich man acquires what he or she want with a high amount of money without considering the value of such commodity, what we should know is this, rich people knows how to manipulate the market, they also know how to add value to potential assets, they Believe that if a less valuable commodity is been purchased with a huge amount of money, people will want to know why such move was taken by the individual involved and as so doing attention will be dragged to such asset, it is as simple as that, in the aspect of Bitcoin a rich or wealthy investor believe that the higher you go, the higher your potential profit in the long run, don't also forget that whales are responsible for consistent influx of investor in Bitcoin, the amount of Bitcoin they are hodling m gives people the hope and the courage to believe that Bitcoin is a reliable and trusted asset.
Yes I agree with your line of thoughts, those potential heavy investors are the ones that give the small investment the moral to have believe on What they are investing their money in. Rich persons in the society are the ones that add values to assets, there is no doubt about that, the reason why most people question the actions of the rich people is because they feel that the rich people are overspending money or don't take time to negotiate price or the value of the asset they want to acquire, and most times people forget that the person that wants to sell out his assets or give it out want's to make profits, so he will ordinary want to sell it to the highest bidder.

Though both are highly useful, I believe that education is more important than skill acquisition. What do you think about this in today's world, and which would you let your brother, sister, or kids to pursue?
Education itself is a skill, it depends what part of the educational skills you wish to learn so as to make it your career. Education is the broad form that accommodates every sector in life, both the formal and informal sector are all encompass in education. So you're ability to learn a particular skill, makes that skill the part of education you've learnt, however education is not only about reading and writing, it serves as an avenue for you be understand others skills you would want to learn easily.

So for me, I would prefer for any of my relative to have both formal education and informal skillful education that they might want to use later in the future or pursue as a career.

When there is issues with banks and transactions also becouse of hacking and cyber attacks.
Then people need to use crypto there is reports that in many countries now cyber attacks.
So what options you have? You need to use crypto If you don't have you buy it with cash or you can borrow.

OP don't you forget that crypto is not a legal tender in most countries and besides this can only be possible if majority of the countries citizens have cryptocurrency in their wallet, also some crypto enthusiast are long time investors that wouldn't want to touch their investment anytime soon, so the need to start using their crypto in place of a Fiat transaction wouldn't be ideal with them.

There is no doubt about the fact that, if there are cyber attack on banks, the best option is to convert your money into cryptocurrency so it can be kept safe, but the government of that country will have to rise up to the occasion to make sure they protect their cyber space against such attacks.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers👉Group Stage on: June 20, 2024, 08:53:40 PM
It was a goalless first half between Spain vs Italy. The two teams are of the same strength and none of them wants to allow their opponents to take advantage of them. Spain had good clear chance which was to be a goal. One was a good header chance by Williams, which went to the left side of the goal post.

The second half should be more exciting than this because I expect goals to come in from any of the teams. I can't really tell who will score first in this match because Scammacca also missed a good scoring opportunity.
The first half there were no goals and both played perfectly and I think both were quite difficult, Spain attacked more than Italy in the first half which remained with a draw.

The second half started with Spain being more aggressive in their attacks, they had far more possession of the ball, in view of this situation it looks like Spain will get a goal faster than Italy if the situation continues like this, Italy is quite exhausted in this second half they continue to be attacked and there is no resistance that has a far greater chance of scoring a goal, almost fully running half the field.

And as I type this Riccardo has scored for Spain, it's very good and the score is 1-0 in favor of Spain, I think I'm going to get a win tonight from my bet on Spain, looking back at the match starting to heat up a bit maybe Italy's players are a bit provoked to take revenge.
It was an own goal by R.Calafiori after Williams took a cross which hit Calafiori's leg and went into the goal post. Spain is still dominating the game and I don't think that Italy will be able to withstand Spain pressure. I will say that goal was a lucky goal and Spain have not scored any goal of their own.

Italy on the other hand is somehow allowing Williams to feel free forgetting that he is a dangerous player. It is not yet over until the final whistle and we might still see some surprises in the last 25 minutes of thr match.
If not for that defensive error, I'm sure this game would have ended draw, because the both teams are not too impressive with their playing style, this is a game a lot of persons have expected to be very much intriguing but it's not looking like that, although Spain have been a little bit on the neck of the Italian defence with Nico Williams seriously displaying an incredible dribbling skills upfront for  Spain. The Italians seems not to have that individual quality on the attack to help them make the difference, which is one of the major ingredients Spain has as their own advantage in this game. The Italian keeper is one person that has been a life saver for the Italian defence, if not the goals would have been more than one, he has made brilliant saves in this game, it was just unfortunate for him that that defensive error was out of touch from him.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers👉Group Stage on: June 20, 2024, 05:57:37 PM
My choices are Spain and England anyway though. But I don't expect any of them to win by at least a 2-goal difference. I think both of them will have a competitive ending.  Smiley

Dermank has a relatively small chance of winning, but they have the opportunity to surprise England in the sense that Denmark will not give up and will not make it easy for England.
Two goals might be scored. It could also be more than 2 goals if Denmark and England play openly throughout the match.
One half in and it's 1-1, still pretty good for both sides, and both are pushing hard for a win tonight, so far in the first half I've noticed they've been pretty even in terms of possession and play, although Demark have been a bit more dominant than England but I see it as a fair draw.

Hjulman and Kane have been the key to both teams getting goals for the time being, something interesting might happen in the second half now, they have read and seen how their opponents attack and defend, there should be some evaluation going on to get more goals.
Both are still equally strong and both are also very solid teams, yes Hjulman in the 34th minute equalized after Kane managed to get a Goal in the 18th minute of this first half, the chances of winning still seem to lean towards England in my opinion, the second half is a big question where it is indeed a fierce match, Denmark cannot get a draw or lose this match against England, they must get points and go to the top of group C, meanwhile if England wins it will be more free with 6 points from two matches won, and in the future they will be more very confident to dominate.


BTW I am quite curious about Kane whether he will be the top scorer in this Euro, because he is one of the best goal scoring machines I have ever recognized.
The second half has really been tough for England, the winning of this game is not leaning towards England anymore, as Denmark are fiercely confronting the defence of England, Denmark have literally saturated the entire midfield with the Red jersey and are making it very difficult for England to get a clear ball control because of how defensive they've been playing, it's looking like a draw game for me as it's over 90 minutes now. Denmark are really resilient with their outburst with this game from what I'm seeing here, I wasn't even expecting this sort of resistance from them at all.

Let's just wait and see if Harry Kane will come out as one of the top scorers for this competition at the end, though he has the capacity to do that.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling therapy on: June 20, 2024, 03:49:08 PM
Whatever therapy that's probably applicable to a person who needs it, I believe it won't correct the underlying problems associated with gambling. We need financial literacy to educate about money and finances management, because without that learnings every person won't value money.
This is a very toxic thing about gambling perspectives of an individual who still choose gambling over finances. They always expect that their money will be multiplied twice or thrice depending on how they project a specific odds or probable winning strategy that still has no assurance.
The truth is that, most gamblers don't know when they've developed a bad gambling habit, to them everything seems alright with them, so is only when you've visited the therapist or a psychologist that it can either be identified if you've developed a healthy gambling lifestyle or not, so yes I agree with the OP about meeting a therapist, is not only for people that have gambling addiction problems, in fact as a regular gambler it is really advisable to sometimes do a check on yourself at least on a quarterly basis, It is at that point that the therapist will tell you that whatever you are doing to double or triple your money should be done on a regulated basis, so you as gambler can learn how to control your mindset.

As I expected, Switzerland will definitely be able to turn things around. Because the match is still quite early and anything can still happen. The goal scored by Xherdan Shaqiri in the 26th minute allowed Switzerland to breathe a sigh of relief again. Because now the score has changed to a draw again, namely 1-1. It would be very exciting if Scotland also got a goal back and Switzerland equalized again. But I'm sure it's Switzerland who will score again. And I think the minimum score in this match is 1-2. Switzerland continued to dominate this match and continued to create good chances. And I think the Scottish defense will also start to get overwhelmed and make some mistakes that allow Switzerland to score again.

What I think is that if Scotland doesn't defend well enough, they could score another goal. The Swiss are going from strength to strength in the game, they can hardly be stopped The player was a bit Ahead there Now things with the referees are being very strict, and that's good  , we have a much Cleaner and more pleasant football, although when a table football team you have to think to shout it down because you have to wait to see if they're worth it , because now the sensors and everything else can throw everything back.
Of course Switzerland had lot of chance to score, the last goal they scored was disallowed for offside if not the goals would have gone above that, Scotland too had good chances as the possession between both teams for me was 50/50. I agree with you Scotland had a poor defence. The golden moment for me was that wonderful goal from the big man himself shagiri, that goal was really spectacular, Manuel akanji too was able to bring in his wealth of experience to help the Switzerland team and was even voted as the man of the match. With this point shared, Switzerland are now second on the group with four points behind Germany.

Have you experienced where someone went an extra mile just to prove himself right because he doubted?

While we all thrives on our Bitcoin investments regarding its  lucrativeness, we actually wish that our loved ones can find the opportunity feasible and also invest on it just as we do.
For some cautious reasons, we do not want to discuss about it with them but we still wish they cou embrace the system in one way or another.

Out of two friends I introduced into the Bitcoin during the halving, one successfully Invested and the other one did not. In a few week ago we experienced over $71K in Bitcoin market price, the newly Investor friend of mine approached the other one who did not invest expressing how lucrative Bitcoin investment is.
The guy was still in doubt saying it is all fallacies that the guy is just trying to convince him.
So in other for this newly invested friend to prove the legitimate and lucrativeness of Bitcoin, he opened his Crypto wallet for the doubted guy in explaining how he bought Bitcoin when it was $65 and now it is $71K yet further increase is being expected.

So the doubted guy wowed over it that his friend has such amount of money?

Just by past weekend this doubted guy came asking if am I aware that the other of his friend has a lot of money in his Bitcoin wallet? And I ask how he knew about it then he explained in details.
I was surprised and felt disappointed of my newly Investors friend because I could wonder further people that doubted guy would tell about the guys funds in his wallet he can linger to danger that even if this doubted guy does not have evil thoughts on him, others being aware of it could be.

I think this my newly investor friend was out of pride and just wanted to make this other guy feel regret but does not know the dangerous implications he has just made upon himself and his Bitcoin assets.
It is unfortunate for investors who lives this life of proving themselves to people just to make them believe on their investment.

Your bitcoin is your private asset, you don't need to show people your assets just to show off or make them see you differently, that's too dangerous because your endangering your life. It can as well be that he is showing his friends the profit he has made so far from his bitcoin investment out of excitement, without any intent to intimidate them, but human beings in their typical nature will always read meaning out of everything. This just goes out to tell us that, whatever we are doing that involves profit making, we should just mind who we share our certain personal information with.

I have mentored over 100 people in crypto. Some of them think Crypto is a get-rich scheme because they heard someone made $1m from a project. However, most of the time, they get into crypto and get their hands burnt along the way.

Here is my suggestions if you want to make money from crypto;

1. Knowledge first
2. Spot trading.
3. Airdrop Farming
4. Investing.

1. Knowledge First:
This is foundational. If you don't have this you are liable to fall to scam. You need to learn about wallet, exchanges, dexes, and conviction and patience.

2. Spot Trading :
This is a tangible skill that differentiate you from another person. With this you know how to make money trading. But ensure you stay away from futures trading. Use spot trading to start.

3. Airdrop Farming:
This is a low risk way to make money in crypto. Learn the popular airdrop in crypto space. Currently Telegram mini app farming is what is reigning.

4. Investing:
What will help you here is physiological skills like emotion management and patience. You will also need to learn when to invest and when to take profit.

To conclude this, you can learn this from credible YouTube channels and Coinmarketcap/Coingecko education channels.
You've outlined brilliant points on crypto activities and how to make profit from it, I agree with your line of thoughts, especially with the first one that has to do with knowledge. You will definitely become a lost person if you don't understand the knowledge involved in cryptocurrency, the technique and the intricacies involved in cryptocurrency can only be surmounted if you build a knowledge around it, I for one was a novice in the crypto space before I started developing little by little on the things I know now. The Number 4 point is really needed when you're involved with the activities of number 2, because those are the skills you need to be successful in spot trading.

As a beginner to this bitcoin market, I have understood that long term investing and holding is most beneficial to investors that short term holding.
But I being a beginner, I might not be affordable to hold too long because I have read about investors holding their coins for over 4 years.
Although I might be reprogrammed to long term investment in the future but I need to be practically convinced in reality based on what the market hold for Investors on long term and short terms.
As being speculated of all cryptocurrencies, they are all volatile so I am set to take my profits whenever I can and then the outcome potentials while I am Investing in this bitcoin industry would determine if I will have to hold for long. I don't think I will listen to all that advices of holding longer. We are only here to make profits and face our today's challenges and also prepares for future challenges. So I don't think that investors on the short term goals are at the wrong side because the Speculation of long term holding is excessively making it feel like short term Investors are on the wrong decision
as much as we have long time investors, so also we have short time investor in bitcoin investment. The short time investor don't really want to give in to too much volatility or wait long for any uncertainty with their investment, hence they get a certain percent of their return in investment, they will quickly take out their profit with an option to invest again maybe later in the future. The long time bitcoin investment, is that person that is ready to wait and go through all the rigorous uncertainty and volatility of the market just to get a huge return on his investments, or supposedly a person who just want to keep his bitcoin as an asset that will continue to yield profit for him and maybe pass it on to his children as his legacy. So depending on which side of the divide you want to fall in as an investor, is within your prerogative to choose what you want.

Portugual is here to win the cup not only here to participate.

Thrilling win at the end of the game with the youngest player scoring the winning goal.

Can CR7 win another cup after the 2016 euro win?
Portugal definitely had a difficult game tonight despite having star players on their side. Portugal where initially losing 1-0, before they came from behind to equalise the game and they later won. Czech played defensively because of the pressure from Portugal but the pressure didn't come as too much of a threat as Czech where able to still find ways to return the energy back to the defence line of Portugal. it was a lucky win for Portugal as far as concerned. Though so far with the competition, the underdogs haven't given too much of a room for the big guys to overshadow them. Ronaldo didn't get too much of opportunities to score except for this last one that he wasn't able to head the ball and conceicao was able to score as a result of rebounce.

I say make I bring this one to our notice. Recently, Naija and other African countries don dey recognise as the world largest crypto farmers. So tay e affect many of our business men and women for society. With the way things dey go so no body for our country wan dull am again, about 70% of the youths don dey farm sites like tapswap, hamster combat, yes coin etc
Omo I dey see how people dey tap tap their phone watin no nice this period oh, my take is that, everybody should be allowed to do what they feel will give them something, wether the token is fake or not, na to just allow them, because even the one way go come out something, we don't even know it, nobody been believe say NOTCOIN go later turn out to be something good. The only thing be say naija thing we too dey over do things, some persons self no one takes a second to research about the project to see the level of authenticity, them go just dey tap dey go ahead ahead.
