I have been across newbie ranks with great intellectual exploitation in the forum like they have been here for long now. What is the secret behind their knowledge on considering the high level of their contributions in the forum? Does it mean they have the knowledges before joining the forum? Or are they bot accounts?
I am just curious as a beginner. Thank you all.

Actually some newbies here are highly knowledgeable and educated with high intelligence so when they join the forum they begin to use their high intellectual capacity in the forum which makes some people marvel if they are actually newbie though some newbies accounts uses bots to make high quality posts and the number of newbies using chatGPT and other bot aided mechanisms have been on the increase in the forum but AI spam bursters like @lovesmayfamilis, nutildah, LoyceV and others AI spam bursters have been very active in revealing those accounts with the help of some AI tool detectors like quillbot, copyleaks, scribbr and so on. All thanks to them for their efforts in keeping the forum clean of spams, scams and other strange activities going on in the forum.

In  Soccer sport they have putting the rules that no Racism but of course that cannot be prevented entirely because there are cases when some people thrown something on most players with the expression of hatred in them, though sometimes most attack on players is not racism because it could be a person who stake a huge money for that particular club to win and maybe one of there players had the opportunity to score but failed to score and act of anger most people normally attack that player though is not common now again.

Yeah I recall when Samuel Eto'o was playing at AC Milan, the opponent's fans were throwing Banana on him and calling him monkey and same thing have also been done to Vinicius Jnr by Valencia fans and just about 5 days ago 3 Valencia fans were jailed 8 months in prison and banned from stadiums for two years for raining racial abuse on the Brazilian International footballer. The link to the news is contained here ---
 https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/40318791/valencia-fans-jailed-real-madrid-vinicius-racial-abuse. If players and fans are being sanctioned and penalized for racial abuses the rate of racism would have reduced to the minimum in football.

I don't believe that the reason why some fans abuse black players racially is as a result of losing a bet due to that particular player not being able to deliver in a game but in most cases is always when a black player scores the opponent and out of aggression and anger the opponent's fans will just begin to abuse the black players racially.

Any idea how Leverkusen is going to perform in the Champions League competition? 

I actually want to see Leverkusen from well in the Champions League competition. For some reason, I also want to see a final between Real Madrid and Leverkusen. I think because I want to see how great coaches, Alonso and Ancelotti does against each other. I understand that this is not a good comparison and probably there is a very high chance that Real Madrid is actually going to win very easily. Because of the track record that they have in the Champions League. But it will still be something to watch. The expectation is really high from Leverkusen. I hope they will be able to deliver properly on that.

Guaranteed 1/8 finals and then how lucky they will be with the draw. With the new format, I don't think Bayer will have problems finishing in the top half of the group. If the competition were held in the old format, then reaching the 1/8 would also be guaranteed since Bayer, as the German champion, would be in the first pot and the likelihood that a group would turn out like Group F this season is very small.

Many predict that Bayer Leverkusen will be the center of attention in the next Champions League and want to see how Xabi Alonso competes with many outstanding coaches who have experience in the Champions League, but we cannot guarantee to what extent Leverkusen can survive in the Champions League despite the previous unbeaten achievements, it is possible but it may not be what we imagine or go the other way and cannot survive even in the group qualification.

But it is interesting how far Xabi Alonso will take Bayer Leverkusen, whether it will reach the final like Dortmund or not.

I don't really know how Bayern Leverkusen have became a center of attraction in the upcoming champions league season because even Europa league that they got to the final stages but yet they lost woefully to Atalanta even on a humiliating 3:0 defeat as to say that they can withstand the pressure of champions league because the champions league is more tensed than the Europa league. Right from the ending of last season, a lot of people have been predicting on Real Madrid to claim the title again next season.
                      I don't doubt the fact that Bayern Leverkusen can make things happen in the champions league next season after all their display last season was so outstanding but yet we can't be sure if they can still continue in that same spirit next season. Xabi Alonso is a good coach and we can't Underrate his coaching skills so he can still take every one by surprise next season just same way he did last season.

Pretty much a fixed match. Otherwise, scoring all these 43 goals is impossible. Man it's 1 goal every 2 minute almost lol.

Like this is an open broad day match fixing, I do wonder how some teams are able to score their opponents so many goals upto even 20 goals and above i begin to think if they suddenly converted the game into a basket ball match to score that large numbers of goals lol because it's so strange how a team can beat their opponent as many goals to the extent of scoring 43 goals just for them to top the league table with a goal difference, like this is the highest match fixing of the century if you ask me. Well such a thing happens more in all this junior leagues no team can try such in senior leagues except that club want to be banned from playing.

It's possible that he might or not be guilty and I'm in no position to judge but there are possibilities for thigns and corruption like this to be going on in football, you know there is always the temptation to make some extra money and knowing that you are in control, and I've mostly heard of thigns like this going on in lower leagues, has anyone heard about fixed matches?, I've found myself buying some of those and it didn't work but some of my friends say that they are legitimate fixed matches, if so then it confirms that some players or clubs manipulate match results to make money.

Before F.A charges a player for match fixing related charges it means that one way or the other that particular player is guilty because you can't tell me that a player will continue making same mistakes of getting a yellow card unintentionally and before you see the football F.A charge a player means they have ran series of investigation about such situations and it keeps reoccurring, it is bad that corruption have now entered into football such that some players, coaches and referees are no longer disciplined to play according to the rules of the game.

All these would have been avoided if you used a non custodial wallets because centralized exchanges can be frustrating sometimes and all these processes of going through KYC and physical verification, binding of phone number and email address are tiring to me. Withdrawal from exchanges are difficult sometimes but I don't know if you have made a withdrawal with your binance account before and the location you choosed may also cause the problem because there is restrictions on some area in the United States, places like Alaska, American Samoa, Hawaii, Maine, New York, the Northern Mariana Islands, Texas, and others are not available for binance users in the United States of America.

Alot of the sentiment on this thread over the last few days have been largely centered on Madrid winning the title for the second time in a row. As much as they're the true kings of the tournament and are in a really great place right now where they can perform and compete with any team right now, I'm not 100% certain that they can win it yet. A lot of twists and turns are gonna be there and like all football games, the best teams don't always win and I can see that happening with Madrid. There are teams that could still handle them well in the UCL.

My options are still open even though my default, biased choice is going to be Liverpool.

Every one is entitled to their own opinion on who they feel may likely win the champions league next season after all we are making predictions as no body is certain on the team that will win the champions league just that the reason why almost every one is making predictions in favour of Real Madrid is based on what is obtainable now in the sense that Real Madrid seems to have the best squad for the competition now and they are the dominant team of the champions league so don't be surprised when people are pointing towards the direction of Real Madrid.

Apart from the fact that Real Madrid have a nice squad, there are other competitive teams like Liverpool that you just mentioned though i doubt their ability since Jurgen Klopp will be ending his coaching Job with the team the other clubs includes, Manchester city, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG and Arsenal those are the teams with fairly good squad that can be able to compete the Champions league trophy with Real Madrid.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A man is unable to collect his price cos he forget where he bought the ticket. on: June 13, 2024, 09:31:05 PM
I have seen someone who had same experience and what causes this type of situation is playing bets at numerous gambling offices because when you gamble at different gambling offices then you may not know the exact office you place the bet except the agents address code is written on the bet slip.
          Though I don't know how long lottery tickets last but a gambler is supposed to know where he bought a lottery ticket so far as the tickets have not yet been confirmed. It will be so sad that a gambler managed to win a lottery and not able to make claims due to not knowing the exact place that the ticket was bought.

What is the man went there to do when he has lost his lottery ticket? He should know that no money won that would be given him if there is no proof. And that lottery ticket is the proof. If he lost the lottery ticket, he should know that the money has also been lost.

He didn't lost the ticket, he still has it in his possession just that he forgot where he bought it from, how can someone claim a lottery winning without the ticket it's impossible so in this case not that he lost the ticket.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: Worldcup qualifiers - CAF. on: June 13, 2024, 09:10:32 PM
Though Nigeria were supposed to win South Africa in this match but don't forget that for the fact that Nigerian players are playing in some of the major leagues in Europe doesn't mean that they can beat other countries without stress because league football is different from the country matches because in the league players are familiar with each others play pattern while in country games players from different clubs come together to play for their country so you don't expect them to have same experience as they do in their respective league games and again I don't know why you see that other African countries domestic leagues are better than the Nigerian league even though the league is still developing gradually but yet Nigeria still have quality and standard players that plays in the NPFL so they don't need to be intimidated by any African country that has already succeeded in building their league.
There is no sentiment between the Nigerian players and their head coach, they just played their best in my opinion.
I don't agree with you about the Nigeria team, that were are supposed to win the south Africa team, you shouldn't also forget that the south Africa team has players playing in their domestic league, and are doing well, so you think because the Nigerian players are playing in Europe, they should have just trashed the south African team, no football is like that. the south African domestic league is one the best in the whole of Africa,  If not for anything, you saw how wonderful they where during the game, and that is proof of how good they are. If you watch that game, you will notice the bafana bafana team had more chances to even score more goals than the Nigerian team. Don't forget that during their previous encounter during the just concluded African nations cup, the both teams played draw during the regular time and even the extra time, Nigeria had to win during the penalty shootout. The truth is, the south African team is not just push over team.

I get your point though South Africa may have the best domestic league in Africa but that doesn't mean that they are better team than Nigeria even if South Africa players also plays in top leagues in Europe but the Nigerian players are more visible and recognized than South Africa players. Okay just look at Victor Boniface that won the Bundesliga with Bayern Leverkusen, Ademola Lookman that won the Europa league with Atalanta, what of Victor Osimhen these are world class players that are playing at different leagues in Europe but for South Africa players, none of them are playing for any big team in Europe so believe me Nigeria have more greater players that South Africa but what i just see is that there is a kind of chemistry that exists between this two countries that is why their matches are always difficult to predict and most of the time, they ends in draw.

I can't even image how crazy Xabi Alonso will be once he manages a large team like Real Madrid. We can imagine that one of best coach and greatest team in the world . Xabi was struggling throughout his debut season with Leverkusen. AFAIK, Levekusen was also performing well under Gerardo Seoane. It was able to finish in the top three at 21/22. Xabi joined Leverkusen in the second half of the season, at 22/23, because Gerardo Seoane had not performed well since the beginning of the season. So Leverkusen chose to fire him and hire Xabi Alonso as a temporary caretaker for the team. Leverkusen should do that in order to make sure club could able to participate in the european competition

Abou Xabi and Madrid. I've heard that Real Madrid has plans to bring Xabi and his favorite player, Florian Wirtz, to Madrid. Ancellotti's contract may extend until 2026, but it does not rule out the prospect of an extension with Real Madrid. We know how madrid is very respecting him as one of greatest coach that was always helping madrid to go to the its peak performance
Real Madrid has clearly identified Xabi Alonso as the strongest contender to replace Ancellotti whenever he leaves the club. So many rumors have been appearing but we will see that soon.

Xabi + Real Madrid = unbeatable clubs in all competitions.

Definitely if Xabi Alonso moves to Real Madrid after his contract must have expired at Bayern Leverkusen he will do well for the Madrid team because Real Madrid has great talented players already so any coach can cope very well with the squad and for the fact that Xabi Alonso was able to go last season unbeaten in the Bundesliga means he is good to manage a prestigious club like Real Madrid. For the fact that Xabi Alonso took over from Gerardo Seoane and was able to lead the team to victory just a year after means that if he is given bigger contract he can as well deliver without any fear.
Even though the speculation about Xabi Alonso coming to Madrid is a rumour but there is not smoke without a fire so since the rumour is already in air, it is likely to be true. Florian Wirtz is a good player and Xabi Alonso's favourite player so he can decide to take him along to Real Madrid if he eventually have the opportunity to coach the team.

Building a squad with young players is always going to be something that might not bring in the result that you want. Building a squad with good experienced players makes with some young talent is always going to have a better chance of bringing in good results. There is a reason why it is hard for a lot of teams to compete with having young players in the whole squad against the experienced and good squad. There is a chance that De Rossi will be able to bring good results with a young squad. But that is going to take time. Roma will have to be patient. And even after that, there is no certainty that the young squad will be able to bring in good results consistently if he is able to build one in the first place.

De Rossi has little experience. But he is hardworking. Whether De Rossi will be able to strengthen the Roma squad remains to be seen. After De Rossi took charge of Roma, we saw a consistent performance by the Roma team. But gradually we saw the deterioration of Roma's performance. The Roma team did not perform well in the last matches of the season.

Roma management is not interested in spending big sums to strengthen the squad. They spend very little money on buying players. So De Rossi will not be able to build his squad with players of his choice. So nothing can be said for sure whether we will see a consistent performance from Roma next season.

If I am not mistaken Danielle De Rossi took charge of Roma in the middle of last season and made good improvements for the team but after sometime they started declining in performance but if not that they met Bayern Leverkusen in the Europa league semi final match maybe they would have reached the final stages but yet I commend Danielle De Rossi's coaching skills because it's not easy to take over a team in the middle of the league and still finish 6th position in the league table.

De Rossi can still manage the available players if the club's management don't want to spend much money to buy new players and I strongly believe that Danielle De Rossi will do better next season so let's still accord him some respect. They have the serie A and the Europa league to contest next season so he should build up the team very well so that they can be able to withstand the task ahead of them.

If you have money on a gambling site, you should just want to to have fun with it. That is just it. If you win, you can withdraw because you can lose it back if you continue to gamble. But most likely that the amount of money that you deposited into your gambling account can be lost. I gamble with just little amount of money. If I gain, I withdraw for that week and use it to have more fun like to drink beer and eat meat and food when hanging out with family or friends during the weekend.

I laughed so hard when I came through your post actually like when you talked about withdrawing and using the money for enjoyment with your loved ones so it is your choice because hanging out with friends and family is just part of the fun we do talk about so if someone gambles and is lucky to have some winnings it's also good to have some fun but for me I will rather use the money I withdrew for more important things than larvish the winning all in the name of having more fun.
     Winning and making withdrawals without gambling again is very difficult for most gamblers especially the addicts because they will feel like it will give them more money if they gamble more but at the end they often lose all so it is better to make withdrawals after a winning even if you will play again let it be after you must have withdrawn the amount you won first.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Copa America 2024 Prediction Thread on: June 12, 2024, 07:53:09 PM
With the current form of Argentina I think they are going to retain that title. Currently I don't see any team in the competition that can stop Argentina from winning the trophy back to back. Since Argentina won the world cup it looks like that are no longer in any pressure. They are playing their games and getting results. Argentina has lots of great talents that other teams don't have currently. Well Brazil can try but it will only end in trying. Football has really left the Brazil camp, their recent players are not matching the standard that was set by their legends. Brazil are no longer that team they used to be, that every nation used to be afraid to face them. If Brazil get to the final against Argentina it's game over for Brazil. Neymer and his counterparts has failed Brazil, much was expected from him. But injuries upon injuries characterized his football career which never allowed him to achieve his full potential and lead his country to win a trophy.

With the current display of Argentina in the last Copa America in 2021 and since they are the only country to have won the competition 3 times consecutively in 1945, 1946 and 1947 before the tournament entered into every Four years now so they can possibly win again but Uruguay is also a very competitive country and the both countries have won the competition 15 times each. Brazil also used to be a good side but they have really declined in performance even though they have experienced players like Neymar Jr, Vinicius Jnr, Endrick, Casemiro, Rodrygo, Richarlison and Manchester city goal keeper Ederson but yet their performance in the Copa America hasn't been that impressive. Neymar Jr was a very good force in the Brazilian squad but due to his numerous injuries have made him decline in performance instead the player to look up to now is Vinicius Jnr.

Manchester United are already in talks with Erik Ten Hag's representatives over a new contract.
A new deal is expected to be reached soon, with INEOS wanting to give him total trust for the future.
Source: @FabrizioRomano

I think Manchester United does not have any worry about what is going to happen with Ten Hag in the future. He has already brought in a very bad result for Manchester United.

By the way, I cannot trust a coach who has problems with the players in the squad. And it is not one or two players. He has problems with multiple players. Players also have decided to leave Manchester United just because of him. So I do not understand how the Manchester United authority is not concerned about this. Are they keeping him as the coach just because he was able to bring in the FA Cup? Undecided or did they take this decision because they do not have any other better coaches right now? Huh




I also spent a few minutes thinking about what the Manchester United management has in mind, what goals they have. because it seems to me that it is not in the interest of the management of Manchester United to win the Premier League and win the European Champions League, because when you look at the current level of Manchester United, to be honest, it is not a level capable of winning the Premier League , even if they keep Ten Hag and sign more players, in my opinion Manchester United will continue to be a disaster of a team, only when the Manchester United management hire a good coach who has great experience in the Premier League, someone like Guardiola when his contract with manchester city ends or if they hired xavi, ex barcelona coach, we would see manchester united become a very strong team capable of winning the premier league

I have also been thinking how Manchester United just dropped form for some seasons now and have not been able to wake up because they are never title contenders for some seasons now and it is bad for a team that was flourishing under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson just started declining in performance ever since then and that made me believe that a coach have impact towards the success of a club.
               It's not even that Manchester United are lacking in finances to say that the reason, they are financially alright but not being able to hire a coach that understands the club's football ethics is the problem they have and until they find a coach who could fit in so well to manage the team the better for them. Xavi is a good option for Manchester united but for Pep Guardiola, he may not like to coach any other England team after his contract expires at Manchester city.

[edited out].
Basically, converting digital tokens to digital assets can sometimes be considered in the sense that there are assets that are more valuable than others so you can decide to sell less valuable assets to buy Bitcoin when those assets starts depreciating in value but let it not be assets that are still generating good money for you.

Surely I was not attempting to differentiate between various kinds of digital assets and digital tokens, since I was only referring to bitcoin and otherwise referring to various productive and/or non productive assets and/or currencies.

When you get into talking about various digital assets it sounds to me that you are talking about shitcoins as a way to potentially diversify, and surely I was not talking or even hinting at any of that kind of discussion, since your earlier post did not seem to do that either.

The only digital asset/token that I was referring to was bitcoin... and maybe the dollar might be digital in some cases... but much of what you had initiated your post with was talking about some kinds of physical assets that might be used for generating income, such as equipment... and so there can be assessments about those physical assets and the extent to which they hold their value and how much inputs they might require to generate income.. and then also if they depreciate in value, hold their value or potentially appreciate in value.

I quite understand your point and I apologize if i sounded contradictory but you can agree with me that Bitcoin is also a digital asset and when am talking about digital assets it my post am referring to Bitcoin precisely and I don't mean that anyone who is into Bitcoin should diversify into other projects that are of less value than Bitcoin so if anyone who is a Bitcoin investor ventures into diversifying into something that is of less value when compared with Bitcoin then such person might be considered to be mentally ill. Just like what I said initially about leasing office equipments and I said that such equipments can generate income that can be used to fund one's investment in Bitcoin instead of selling them off so that is just the form of diversification am talking about and not some shit coins or shit projects other than Bitcoin.

If you check in the area I highlighted, the more valuable assets I was referring to was Bitcoin and not any fucking shitcoins, even if I sound contradictory over there perhaps my explanation here can convince you about the mode of diversification am talking about.

It solely the decision of any investor to decide how much he is willing to invest in Bitcoin or any other asset. Bitcoin have high return proportional to the investors Level of Accumulation of it (stash) which is guaranteed in a long run, it simply a matter of discipline, if the investor is disciplined there is nothing that can shift his focus.
Bitcoin's price performance is not guaranteed in the long run to go up  - even though many folks (including myself) invest into bitcoin based on presumptions that it is more likely than not to go up in the long run... so each of us needs to establish our position size in accordance with a variety of factors, including the factor that BTC's price is not guaranteed to go up.
Sometimes I do come across people talking vehemently about their investments being guaranteed in the long run forgetting to know that uncertainty do happen even though we are making speculations but the most reasons why we make good speculations about the asset we invested on is simply because we need to be positive and hope for the best in our investments but that shouldn't mean we should be too affirmative in our analysis and speculations because so far as bitcoin is concerned, there are factors that leads to projection of it's price, so if those factors don't appear in the actual direction then it will be difficult to maintain same irrational mindset or beliefs.
Basically being realistic and positive about investing in Bitcoin will motivate you to accumulate a much larger stack.You may be accumulating a part of the worldly wealth in Bitcoin and it has to pull up to a point and keep your tongue wet. I have seen some investors convert some of their assets into Bitcoin and they choose to build another asset there. And there is a reflection of their confidence. You can follow them if you have confidence and positive attitude. I think a positive attitude is absolutely essential in investing and without it you will not be able to accumulate your stack freely. You should decide to choose your cushion amount of assets in depositing Bitcoin because you are holding it and the rest of the assets are financial security.
Selling your assets to buy Bitcoin is not advisable except they are liability that are in form of assets and they are not productive or bringing any returns or proceeds for you at the end of the day but if they are business assets like lease office equipments such as heavy duties, caterpillars, construction equipments and lifting equipments these are very good assets because they give you good proceeds so you can't sell such assets to buy Bitcoin but you can use the proceeds to invest in bitcoin, the only time you can consider selling such assets to buy Bitcoin is in a case where they start malfunctioning or getting old such that the cost of maintenance may be higher than the income they generate for you.
                 Selling your assets to buy Bitcoin is not bad if the cost of maintenance of those assets becomes too much but never use because you are inquisitive to buy Bitcoin and sell a valuable asset even though Bitcoin is also a valuable asset because just like what I was emphasizing before you quoted me than even though we are hopeful that our investments in Bitcoin are secured but let us not also forget that there are unforseen events that are likely to occur if the forces that keeps the market going are not in place so we should be mindful and thoughtful of the decisions we take when making investments.

Probably, overall, your post is correct Cryptoprincess101 - even though you started out with the suggestion of not selling your assets to buy bitcoin, but then your exception swallows the rule..

In other words, you are not saying don't sell your assets to buy bitcoin, but instead you are suggesting to make some calculations regarding assets that you might or might not sell in order to buy bitcoin - which truly is the main overall preference to figure out the extent to which there might be more value in holding value in bitcoin versus holding that value in other assets.  Some assets gain in value, others lose value and others may generate income.. and some assets have all of those characteristics at the same time or maybe depending on other circumstances that might not always be known at the time that decisions are made. Of course, you mentioned expenses that might be associated with some, assets and furthermore, some assets may well generate income only upon the application of a lot of labor, so in the end, there may end up being some questions regarding how much labor (or other inputs) are required for the assets to actually end up generating income.

There may well be liquidity considerations too.  Some assets are more liquid than others, and sometimes liquidity could unexpectedly become more available or unexpectedly dry up, and even though we might have some guesses and/or estimations, we do not always know in advance regarding liquidity.

Also, sometimes if bitcoin is a better asset, there still could be some value to hold some value in other assets, which could be considered as diversification, but holding value in other assets can sometimes be helpful to not necessarily draw attention to situations in which you might want to have options and not necessarily have all your value tied up in bitcoin (even if you have bitcoin and cash there can be value in terms of having other assets and/or currencies)
.

Basically, converting digital tokens to digital assets can sometimes be considered in the sense that there are assets that are more valuable than others so you can decide to sell less valuable assets to buy Bitcoin when those assets starts depreciating in value but let it not be assets that are still generating good money for you.

You know some people just have archaic understanding about Bitcoin investment and most of them are all these short term investors, they basically sell valuable assets to purchase Bitcoin with the believe that they gonna make good profits in the short run forgetting to know that Bitcoin is a high volatile asset that at some point the value depreciates and also appreciates so any investor that have a short term target can run into losses when they sell their other valuable assets to buy Bitcoin with short term targets if the value depreciates and that is why it is advisable for us to have long term targets when investing in Bitcoin and should not sell valuable assets to buy Bitcoin but we can use the returns from them.

Even though we all wish to acquire Bitcoin but we should not completely ignore other real life assets when we are investing in Bitcoin because sometimes those real life assets helps to propagate our investments in Bitcoin and that is reason why diversification is important in this regard.

You can follow them if you have confidence and positive attitude. I think a positive attitude is absolutely essential in investing and without it you will not be able to accumulate your stack freely. You should decide to choose your cushion amount of assets in depositing Bitcoin because you are holding it and the rest of the assets are financial security.

Selling your assets to buy Bitcoin is not advisable except they are liability that are in form of assets and they are not productive or bringing any returns or proceeds for you at the end of the day but if they are business assets like lease office equipments such as heavy duties, caterpillars, construction equipments and lifting equipments these are very good assets because they give you good proceeds so you can't sell such assets to buy Bitcoin but you can use the proceeds to invest in bitcoin, the only time you can consider selling such assets to buy Bitcoin is in a case where they start malfunctioning or getting old such that the cost of maintenance may be higher than the income they generate for you.
                   Selling your assets to buy Bitcoin is not bad if the cost of maintenance of those assets becomes too much but never use because you are inquisitive to buy Bitcoin and sell a valuable asset even though Bitcoin is also a valuable asset because just like what I was emphasizing before you quoted me than even though we are hopeful that our investments in Bitcoin are secured but let us not also forget that there are unforseen events that are likely to occur if the forces that keeps the market going are not in place so we should be mindful and thoughtful of the decisions we take when making investments.

Pep Guardiola took over Manchester City from Barcelona and taking charge of Manchester City was a challenge for him and he succeeded in accepting that challenge. The manager joined Manchester City on a long-term plan and has won several titles with Manchester City. Before the transfer market opened, there were rumors that the manager would leave Manchester City and take charge of a new team. He may not take charge of the parties he took charge of again. He will take charge of a team that is in good financial shape and has yet to win any titles. If so, where is his next destination going to be?  
Manchester United could try to sign him as well as Chelsea could try to sign him now the decision is in his hands, will he leave Manchester City or take up a new challenge.
Guardiola is not going to leave City this season, apparently due to the fact that his contract with City expires next season, rumors began to circulate that he might leave the team, but this could only happen next summer. He also mentioned at the Catalan golf tournament that he has no plans to return to Barcelona, ​​that's all we know about his future career. Should he look for some other team? He has an excellent team, perhaps one of the strongest in the world, an excellent salary, except that he would like to change something in his life, but we know nothing about it.

Pep Guardiola has achieved all in his time as a manager for Manchester City because he has been able to win 17 trophies since his arrival in 2016 which includes the Premier League, Caraboa cup, UEFA Champions league, F.A cup, FIFA club world cup, and UEFA SUPER CUP so he obviously has a good and impressive record for City but i strongly believe he could leave the club at the end of his contract in 2026.
                      Pep Guardiola is an intelligent coach who have been successful in the big teams he has managed during his managerial career which includes Barcelona, Bayern Munich and now Manchester city so he is a coach that prefers showcasing his managerial skills with different clubs so I don't see any possibility of him going back to coach Barcelona or any other team he has managed previously after his contract ends with Manchester City in 2026.

Sometimes i do think if I can do socery and bring back those days when you can easily afford so many BTC with just a little dollar, because when i come through live stories of people who have hold their BTC for the past 10 years now i begin to feel like this people just turned millionaires in dollars overnight but it dawn on me that they were resilient, consistent, patient and determined before they reach this level of success in their life. In all, have diverse means of income so that you can actually risks part of your money on Bitcoin for a longer period of time because who knows what the price of Bitcoin might also be in the next 10 years so it is better to accumulate now than also regret like some others who had this golden opportunity years back but they neglected it but those who risked their money then are the ones enjoying it now.
                        I can't really disclose how much Bitcoin I have gotten but maybe when i have accumulated to the extent of owning 1 BTC then I will rejoice fully and share my experience as well because it is not easy to own 1 BTC now because I know how much is 1 BTC in my country's currency and you can actually use it to buy some tangible assets and even have reserves left.

Involving an attorney in a business transaction is as important as the business itself. sometimes naive people usually include some terms and conditions that are not good for you in a business intentionally to defraud you without your notice. some might even include some terms that you could be convicted for if eventually the transaction goes wrong that is why it's good to have a lawyer by your side to take actions that are necessary.

A simple step can save you from some trouble even though it might be some how expensive.

You see no body can sign a contract or documents without going through the terms and conditions of the contract or business and it is even risky for anyone who isn't lettered to sign a business document or hire the service of a lawyer to sign such an agreement that is why education is very important for everyone so that they can read and write very well because even if you employ the service of a lawyer to sign an agreement without you knowing the contents in that agreement, it is very risky.
However, even if you will seek an attorney in any business transactions that you are doing with people but it is also important that you have proper knowledge of what the business is all about, ignorance is never an excuse in the sight of the law.
