Spain was lucky to win today's game. Even if Italy mistakenly scored an own goal. A win is a win and they have secured today's point in the group stage. I think this is the most interesting game I watched today because when I was watching England match it was terrible to watch. I wonder if the coach wants them to qualify. This is because I don't see any reason why good players who can deliver the ball on the pitch will be kept on the bench for a complete 90 minutes without getting to play in the tournament. Players like Cole Palmer and other good England platers.
2  Economy / Speculation / Re: Where is the bullrun??? on: Today at 05:11:50 PM
I have to confess that I don't understand too much about criptos, but during an important time I have studied about reading charts and I can't see a reason for believe that BTC will explode in short-term. I would like to know: What makes you think that will happen a bull run now? It is  a true need to learn about it.
The only thing that makes me believe Bitcoin will explode again is because Bitcoin's history always makes an explosion after the Halving. I'm also not very good at reading charts, but my trust in Bitcoin has removed any doubts about its long-term potential. If you are looking for or waiting for Bullrun to arrive, you need to make preparations before his arrival. Do it now, not later, because no one can predict when that moment will come. Always take advantage of every opportunity you have to welcome the arrival of the Bullrun by collecting Bitcoin consistently.
Bitcoin always repeats the previous cycle after halving and has reached a new ATH several times, which means we have confidence in the current cycle where the price of bitcoin will return high even though the current ATH is still too early at $73K, but many people predict more than $100K when bullish comes then now is still not the time but your opportunity is never missed, yeah we don't know when the price of bitcoin will rise but believe many people the price will return high.
Because the ATH after the halving this year took place came so early that is the reason why so many speculators believe that there will be another ATH before the year's end. And also, they believed that the previous bull run was just a tip of what is to come. At first, there was assurance that the end of the bull run would keep the price of Bitcoin at 100k so when it stopped at 73k or 74k there were about. It's now certain to them that it's not yet over and that the 100k speculation is still possible.

When I hear things like this, I feel sorry for people who decide to share the good that has happened to them with everyone without having any little restraint. Bitcoin transactions are meant to be anonymous and so other natures both investment and otherwise. We are supposed to keep our investment personal to us until we have reached our targeted goal. I have heard stories of people getting frauded because they shared information online or orally. Even our businesses and the things we plan to accomplish, it will be of higher risk if we tell people everything that is going on in our lives. People shouldn't know much about you and most importantly anything that has to do with your investment, business, and how you make your wealth in general. They can only be aware that you're not this but how you run it, and what you make from it should be kept to yourselves.
4  Economy / Speculation / Re: Some bad uses of bitcoin. :'( on: Today at 04:42:57 PM
It all started as a whisper until those who are involved in this criminal abuse of Bitcoin increased more and more which made me a great concern. Of a truth you're right and it saddens me that such technology that was meant to help is now part of what they are using to harm others.

But it is important to remember the importance of it too. Bitcoin transactions, while not completely anonymous, can be traceable on a public ledger. Bitcoin is like a flip coin just like any other technology, the good people use it for its purposes while on the other side the bad use it for theft, fraud, and other wrong purposes. However, there have been regulations and enforcement developed to address misuse, but ultimately how we use it matters the most. If everyone can just use it for the right things there won't be any problem at all.

5  Economy / Speculation / Re: Road to 100k? on: Today at 12:20:23 PM
The price of bitcoin shouldn't be the issue, but taking the opportunity that bitcoin is at this current price of 65k to buy more Bitcoin into our bags should be our focus because increasing our portfolio will be better off now than when the price reaches $100k.

I know that bitcoin price will reach $100k but no one can predict the actual time and as long as you are not planning to sell but to hodli for a long period of time it is good to DCA regularly in other to increase your bitcoin stash at various price levels.

with the look of how the price has been doing for sometime now their is a higher chance that the price will hit $100k anytime soon,
I have come to realize that this analysis is wrong. Convince me otherwise. However, I used to be part of those preaching that it will be 100k anytime soon. But I was looking at the price and the movement it has been making. Bitcoin will not reach 100k soon but reaching 100k before or by the end of the year is somehow possible. I think the more we truly believe, the less we tend to think when the price will reach 100k either sooner or later. The more time we spend in Bitcoin the more we get to understand that time doesn't really matter but duration of investment and anticipation is better than watching the time all day.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Nigeria Premier League/Players Discussion Thread on: Today at 11:52:42 AM
What is your opinion of what is happening in the Super Eagles with Osimhen, Finidi and NFF. And from what I read today NFF said, what Osimhen did was not automatically bad because Finidi started the drama. And from my own point of view I don't really care what happened between them and all I wanted was Super Eagles to qualify the 2026 World Cup. So for Finidi to blame Osimhen foe his downfall is a very big shame.
In my own opinion i think both of them has different reasons in this situation. Osimehn feels that he is not qualified to coach him and seeing Findi's  planning and direction does not seem to be one that can yield positive result in the team. On the other hand Findi feels that the presence of Osimehn in the Super Eagles will give the team more strength and boost the agility of other team member. Meanwhile for him to be absence means that they may not qualify.

In this situation, i am not in support of anyone, i believe that they are matured to understand that this is a professional football career we are talking about here. And that they should leave every argument and grudges aside and focus on the goal ahead to qualify to the World cup. Because i won't be happy if they do not qualify with the way they are going about these days.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling winnings should NOT be taxed on: June 19, 2024, 06:44:31 PM
I agree with you here. Local casinos and online casinos should be taxed and not the gamblers. I don't see any reason why someone will bet with a small amount of money and still get taxed from the little winning. However, the government has been the one taxing local casinos and online casinos so that is why they see it necessary to tax the gamblers whenever they gamble.

Does your country tax gambling winnings and if so do you declare it yourself or does the gambling operator withhold the taxes on your behalf?
I've heard about such countries who place taxes on gambling, which I think is totally illogical as gambling isn't a job but a means of having fun. What should be takes in the whole gambling scene are the casinos, since they literally represent the whole gambling body and every user. In my country, we literally don't pay any tax for gambling. Gambling shouldn't be taxed on any country as it's a game of luck which requires skill and experience. Should we be taxed on having skills to gaming or predictions? Just like telling me that when I bet on sport I will have to pay a percentage of it to the government for winning.what of the time when I loses.
Whether fun or not for profit. It shouldn't be taxed, because it has to do with risk. Imagine a situation where they tax people for investing online or in a different asset no one would want to go into investment.

While we wait for the EPL to officially kick off on the 17 of August. This is my bet for the season and what would come out if it.

1. Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are teams likely to win the EPL title

2. Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Southampton are teams that may likely go for relegation.  

3. UEFA qualifiers should be Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool.

France and Austria are going to be playing today and the result will be surprising. France has good players so do Austria if any slight mistake is done from the France team, then Austria will win with those opportunities. So far this would be one of the most favorite games to watch in this competition. When it comes to big games like this France rarely blew it off, but when they get to face smaller things, they tend to blow things for people who gamble on their head.

The England squad is indeed strong because the players are well-known players such as Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Harry Kane and others. England's match against Serbia was an exciting match and Serbia played their best game, but unfortunately Serbia had to swallow the bitter pill because they lost to England with a score of 1-0, of course this made England sit at the top of the current standings. Group C
However, unfortunately, in this match, Harry Kane's header only hit the goal post. To be honest, at that time I thought England would add goals, but in fact they didn't. It seems that currently England has to prepare more because in my opinion there will be tight competition in Group C between England and Denmark and Denmark's next match will be against England. Of course, this will definitely make England have to prepare everything even though England currently has many star players. .

Slovenia's match against Denmark resulted in a 1-1 draw but in terms of ball control Denmark dominated, so of course Gareth Southgate must be alert and it looks like Denmark's match against England will definitely be exciting. but I predict England will win that match, what do you think?
Most times when there are too much squad in one team. This is what i expect, they will find it difficult to win the match. It happens in local football we play in our country and also in the professional level as well. Each player will try to play adamantly because of the big name, also when they are with the ball, they feel the need to dribble and show off instead of communicating properly and passing the ball when necessary.
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Bullish period and advantage. on: June 16, 2024, 11:39:13 PM
Some investors are generally interested in buying more BTC at DIP prices and tend to sell during bullish times. But holding is more important because it will happen again and again when ATH is observed in the market with gap of few months. A bullish period is characterized by overall market optimism and expectations of higher performance for the future. Even offers higher returns than bearish ones. A bull market usually reflects the utmost confidence of investors that a person can align their investments in this positive trend. Increasing market value makes investors optimistic about the positive loop. These positive market conditions may prevent investors from being psychologically tempted to sell BTC. It can even discourage selling during market downturns. Many investment firms can build potential wealth by investing more during periods of BTC price appreciation.
There is nothing wrong with someone buying an asset when the market dips and then selling it when the market is bullish even if the market manages to go higher than where they sell their assets because they have at least earned some profit on their investments, that's the main purpose and if it's achieved, it's all good.

Bitcoin in general is considered to be a long-term investment asset because it has a cyclical movement pattern where it tends to reach the peak at the end of the cycle and goes down at the beginning of a new cycle, and people know that if they hold, they can gain higher profits, but there is also nothing wrong in buying and selling multiple times during a full cycle.
If you're giving the opportunity to take small profit for 2-month investment or take a very huge profit for a 1-year investment which, would you prefer? Of course you will choose the big profit, and that is why people see the idea of selling Bitcoin when there is a short increase in the price of Bitcoin as a bad idea. Only hungry or hasty investors are willing to take quick gains, if one wants to rich and wealthy then investing a lot in Bitcoin and holding it for long so that the return will be massive will be their ultimate goal.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling can be a hope restorer if we go about it wisely! on: June 16, 2024, 11:34:35 PM
However, we should not forget that this only happens rarely and shouldn't be relied on in our daily lives, for example if you have a project in mind and something you want to have or make, you should work hard to get it and shouldn't be waiting to win a gambling session because these type of things are unpredictable and gambling isn't a stable source of income.
Tell this to the addicted gamblers and they will feel you are just babbling. Gambling comes by luck no one is certain of their predictions, but those who are addicted does not see it that way. They do not know the money that can be used and the ones which is not to be used to gamble. Any money they have.

I like when I hear about people investing their gambling wins into something useful and worth the money, I consider that a wise spending and good money management that we should all take example from.

Since it is based on luck and the money do not come all the time then whenever there is a big win the money should be used to do something meaningful. I don't see it as a big deal, every man or woman who is responsible will surely know the best way to use wins coming from gambling.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers👉Group Stage on: June 16, 2024, 11:13:23 PM
Are any of you betting on England for this match? If you are - you will most likely win it.
Jude Bellingham is crazy - he's been a really good player for a lot of both club and national level games. I know he is the most expensive English player at the moment - of course his market value is proportional to the quality he has. Really - Real Madrid are lucky to have him at the club, he is the difference.

Gareth Southgate seems to have great difficulty rotating his players - he has a lot of good players on the bench, while he also has good players on the pitch. What a really good line up - but unfortunately, Trent Alexander-Arnold was withdrawn first. Bokayo Saka followed, replaced by Jarrod Bowen - Harry Kane may need to be given time off to be replaced by Ollie Watkins or Cole Palmer.

A lot of people will definitely bet for England to win Serbia, which came out correctly. For me the English team didn't play to the expectations of many, Serbia nearly equalized the game because of the way they played, England where Just managing the entire situation to maintain that 1-0 difference till the end of the match with all the stars they have both the ones sitting in the bench and the ones playing.
The good thing is, they've been able to secure their first three points, but Gareth Southgate should come up with a better tactical formation for their next match, because I didn't really feel the impact of some of the big guys during the game.
Of course, the performance from the England team was very poor. Even if they had won the game my bet on the match was lost. I had predicted the total goals to be from 3 and above. It is quite annoying that with the number of qualities squad in the team the game did not end like a big team was playing a smaller team. Many people were expecting so much from the England team and the goal they scored was out of luck of which they struggled to score the goal in the game.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how much do you love bitcoins? on: June 15, 2024, 05:54:06 PM
I don't know how you see bitcoin but all this questions are out of my control, why will I value something over everything in life ? like why the hell will I have to risk the life of someone dear to me because of bitcoin?

Let's not over exaggerate things here, we love bitcoin for many reasons but that we can compare to our lives, family and friends, if you do not know the value of this people in your life you are likely setting yourself up because when the unforeseen happens you will have to call on bitcoin to help you.

Let's keep the love for bitcoin but not see it as a God to worship.
If Bitcoin has been a source of income for you when you are in a country where there is so much hardship and every other thing you have tried is not working. My dear you wouldn't want anything to hinder your investment or whatever means you are using to make your money from Bitcoin. I can assure you that you will be willing to take drastic actions so that you won't jeopardize your source of income, or you won't make it vulnerable for anyone even the government to tamper it. Perhaps you may be young, and you may not understand this because you do not have a family or severe responsibility in hands. When you come up to that level you will know that where you earn is worth taking hard actions no if anyone jokes with it.
14  Economy / Speculation / Re: Road to 100k? on: June 15, 2024, 05:37:26 PM

Try to understand my point bro, Bitcoin as an asset has it own risk just as every other investment no doubt, but why I say that we shouldn't be worried about it volatility is that, due to the high potential of Bitcoin, and his historical record of how it has always rally back to a better height even when encountering setbacks, it has proven over and over again that it's not an asset that stays down for far too long, and it has earned the trust of most investors around the world, and as it stands now, it's more likely for Bitcoin to rise to one million dollars than falling to zero.

That's why i believe that the volatility attach to Bitcoin is actually a blessing, because those people that bought Bitcoin at 30k early last year will definitely be in a huge profit now, because due to it volatility, it has risen upward to their favour, so in essence is that, as long as it's Bitcoin, it's volatility is actually a blessing because it's more likely to rise further than going down as most shit coin does.

You are not wrong here. Every nature of Bitcoin is advantageous to its users or investors. Whether you use i for transactions, making fast payment or you're investing in it. And i must say Bitcoin volatility has good benefits since the price do not remain in one place for too long. The volatility nature of Bitcoin has made Bitcoin the best asset to invest in for the long run. It is always breaking its all-time high every decade's ad that is what every investor is looking for, an asset that you can be rest assured that in the next decade your investment return will be 3x or4x your investment. Imagine if Bitcoin was as slow as most of the asset in the stock market, it won't have as many investors as it has today, and the price will not be as good as it is now.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to maximize winning potential and control excessive gambling habits on: June 15, 2024, 05:29:18 PM
I don't know how effective this could be and how we may achieve it more easier, maximizing winning potential is not proven completely by hundred percent from the gambling strategy we use, and this also have no been proven as one of the ways a gamblers could get addicted because of gambling oftentimes, we have to explain more better between the lines their differences and what each stand to implicate on gamblers.
No gambling strategy can be 100 percent perfect. So, to maximize winning is somehow difficult. The best way to maximize our winning potential in my opinion is by minimizing our risk which will make us have less loss. Once we have less loss, we have more wins than our losses here by giving us more opportunities to win knowing fully well that the risk is limited due to the pattern we are using to gamble.

Gambling habits opens us to take high risk which is why stopping every bad gambling habit is also a good way to maximize winnings since it also reduced the amount of risk we take. Imaging addictions that make people not to know when to quit when gambling. How will they be able to have high wins when they can't control themselves whenever they are losing so much and quit.
16  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Bitcoin, and HODL! on: June 15, 2024, 05:19:34 PM
These are different strategies in accumulating Bitcoin. Some investors use DCA strategy, others prefer buying the DIP strategy, while some DCA and also reserves funds to also buy during the DIP and some accumulate with lump-sum (Rich folks). All these approach are decisions made individually with what suits our bitcoin investment goals. Of all the strategies waiting to buy bitcoin during DIP alone without applying DCA strategy might slow your bitcoin investment growth because the price might not DIP to your desired levels and timing the market can be stressful.
Any strategy can work in investing in Bitcoin as long as the investor is consistent and do not deviate from accumulating enough Bitcoin as well as holding it for long. The decisions will make is what matter at the end, whether we chose to sell along the line taking gains (which is not advisable as it may slow the accumulation process) or we choose to hold our investor for longer purposes (quite the best approach) and benefits.


So why wait for the price to dip when you can be accumulating bitcoin through DCAing consistently to ensure steady accumulation, peradventure if it DIPs to your desired amount and you have extra bucks to buy fine but if it does not your accumulation through DCA continues to progress. DCAing can be done alone regardless of market fluctuations as long you keep it consistent but I don't see any need to wait for the DIP alone to accumulate bitcoin rather combining DCA with buy during DIPs can further enhance portfolio growth by taking advantage of lower prices when they occur.
Yeah, it is true, no matter what we do we should not stop buying Bitcoin as long as we have the funds or have decided to b allocating some percentage of our funds to investing in Bitcoin. Buying the dip is not bad at all but waiting for the dip is dangerous It may lead us to not invest in Bitcoin because we keep waiting and waiting for a dip, what it never comes. My approach to such situation is that i see every time as a dip which makes me buy more.

After watching how Scotland got thrashed by Germany yesterday, I think Albania might be the next team to concede a lot of goals when they play against Italy. Being the weakest team placed in Group B, all of the other 3 teams will want to earn points from the hands of Albania and they are surely going to be playing offensively against Albania right from the start of the match, I guess Italy will be able to beat Albania easily today.

Italy might be the favorite in this match and they have a chance to win because they have a more promising squad than Albania, but I guess that it will not be easy for Italy just to beat Albania. What I see is that Albania has a fairly consistent performance and they even came out on top in group E while they were still in the qualifying phase. In that group phase, Albania showed that they had a fairly solid defense that was tough to break down (Albania only conceded 4 goals, and it was much better than Italy which had 9 goals conceded).
This is another stage in the competition that is why Albania will find it difficult in this stage. It is obvious that Albania is no match for any of the team in this stage and of course they will be leaving the competition after all the matches have been played. The remaining 3 teams here in this group will do all means to get complete 3 points from Albania and sure it is a game i will be certain to bet on and the goals will be more than 3 to 4 goals i each of the matches.

The team will have to suffer the loss for one times because some players that are important to the team will leave as Klopp is also leaving and also some the new coach will have his own tactics that will require the management to sign some players for the coach which clearly show that some players will have to leave in that aspect, and if the players he signed are not from Premier League teams, they will also need to adapt to the Premier League style of play before they can be stable.

I am very sure Liverpool will missed out of the title race next season because it will be a difficult work for Arne Slot the new Liverpool manager because they will also be playing in the Champions League and some local leagues like FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
Things dont work that way guy, just becuase Klopp has left the team doesnt mean some players will have to leave the team immediately. It is the new coach to choose which player he will keep for the season and any playr that does not ift his standard he will let go as well. If any player decide to leave the team then it is their choice but i have never seen a situation where a player tries to leave a team when he is not due or the team dont want him anymore.

Most fans dont undertand these things, that Klopp leaving Lierpool doesnt mean the downfall of the team. They do not expect him to stay with the team for the rest of his life. Changes must come and the changes starts now. Who knows this knew coach is going do wonders for the team.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Committing mistakes helps us to become a responsible gambler. on: June 14, 2024, 06:22:27 PM
It is quiet to see and I believe that all of us commit mistakes, a situation that also changes our gambling approach and behavior.

Mistakes are inevitable as a human but the ability to avoid repeating the same mistake over and over again is what differentiate us from being foolish and wise. Every beginner in gambling tend to make some mistake from time to time but along the line they get to see their flaws and learn from them. Many are better than how they were before when there started gambling. By now they could count greater wins compared to loss. Which was the opposite back then.

My mistakes i made in the past made me not to be addicted in gambling and it also made me understand that not all time i need to gamble but when i feel like to and i always keep a particular amount i am willing to spend on gambling if i want to. If the day do not go well as planned, then i quit immediately and hope another day would be better.
20  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it still possible to retire early? on: June 14, 2024, 06:07:05 PM
This is an interesting question. However it's not good to retire so early more especially when you don't have another source of income when you retire from this link, you can see that this he's a Nigerian football player and he retired at early age, and now he's on the street doing nothing. I just use that as an example to tell us that it's not wise for one to retire early from their job.
No one would retire with just one source of income. It is unwise, in fact if anyone is to retire then he/she must have had a good business that is busy bringing out good amount of money and running smoothly on its own without the push from them. Three things i think one should have achieved before thinking about retirement should be, an asset whether landed properties, stock exchange or cryptocurrency. Secondly, they should have businesses at least minimum of 2 business. And lasty must have kept a retirement savings account for a minimum of 7 years.
