1  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Bitcoin, and HODL! on: Today at 09:47:15 AM
Of course, each person must decide for himself how reasonable it is to hold bitcoins. But overall, holding Bitcoin seems to be a very good thing for fighting inflation. Of course, Bitcoin is unlikely to grow as quickly and rapidly as it did in 2009-2013, but it will help in the fight against inflation. You know, inflation is a beast that never sleeps and constantly eats away at your savings. But if you got into the industry to turn your 1 year's savings into the equivalent of 10 years of income, then I doubt that Bitcoin is the best vehicle for such transformations. Over time, Bitcoin will most likely fluctuate in a multi-year flat pattern.

Yes you are actually right on this, Bitcoin is one of those asset you stock your money in, just to fight inflation, because it's very much logical to save your money in anything that appreciate in value overtime, so as to fight inflation and Bitcoin is one of those asset, then talking of turning your one year savings to be as if it's an investment of 10 years old, I think I also share the same sentiment as you bro, because in other to be successful in your Bitcoin investment, you actually need to be a long term holder, not investing today and be expecting it to be very much profitable as if it's 10 years old, investment that was done a year earlier.

That is why most newbies investors sell off their holdings, because they initially thought that buying Bitcoin would make them rich in a very short period of time, which is never the case, and at the end, they were disappointed because the only way to achieve such feat, it's to hold for a very long period of time.

Arsenal is also looking for a couple of players and potential players who hold the Arsenal game plan like the previous season they did. The potential name they are looking for good selling players which are currently in a summer window.
As long as Arsenal have enough money to target some players who have good game play, it is clear that their plan will be quite smooth. Because when it comes to recruiting players, they are usually always hampered by the price and the amount of money that has to be spent by the team that wants to buy them. Next season Arsenal must be better than the previous season because last season Arsenal struggled as a champion candidate even though in the end they also failed to become champions in the Premier League.

Yes, Arsenal is very ready with their new spirit, after last season they only finished in 2nd place with a difference of 2 points from Man City, it is good news that Reiss has signed a contract extension, he has been very instrumental in every match played by Arsenal, he is a player active wings, Arsenal have great potential to shift Man City's dominance at the top, they are a tough and solid team.

Arsenal players did well in this season, because they took a good position from the beginning of the tournament that made them to lead the premier league table for a long period of time before Manchester city the giant of premier League competition took over from them to win the title. I think, Arsenal will still going to play well next season, because there will be some challenges among other teams that will make the premier league title to change for another team to embrace it next season, because Manchester city will definitely experience some challenges before the end of next season. If Arsenal manager can include some potential strikers among the new players they are bringing in this season, I think they will not going to end next season in a second position than to win the title.

To me, what I really think about this arsenal team, what I feels is their problem is consistency, that's what they are massively lacking, you will see them at the very beginning of the league, they will be very good and consistent, but when it has gone to the later stage of the season, they will start drawing and losing match, which Manchester city will be just by the Conner to utilize the opportunity presented to them by arsenal, and this same event has took place in the past two seasons.

While as for Manchester city, they wouldn't be in their best possible form from the very beginning of the season, sometimes they will be seriously lagging behind arsenal in the league standings when it comes to point accumulation, but once the reverse fixture start, that's when you will know how good Manchester city is, because they hardly draw, talkless of losing a single game, so In essence is that, lack of consistency is what that has cost arsenal in the past two seasons now, so till arsenal improve on their consistency level, I don't see them winning the league anytime soon.

Even though PSG is a rich club, they have failed to live up to expectations in Europe. I think the management ranks must receive serious attention to be improved and must be filled with people who understand the rules and targets of the club. Now is a new era for PSG to overhaul the squad after Mbappe's departure. On the one hand, the French striker is really needed, but on the other hand, he is a huge burden on the club because of his salary and attitude which must be put first.

PSG will still be able to shine under the guidance of Luis Enrique specifically in League 1, but in the Champions League it is always difficult for every team. It's just that the PSG president has to reorganize management, achievement targets and transfer policies.
PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi will have more calculating figures to spend in the transfer window. PSG management still intact, we've come to realized how the presence of Kylian Mbappe was to the club and in his absence, the club will probably fumbled but there's always need to panic. Luis Enrique will worked definitely on the improvement of the club. He will selectively choose the players that will becoming professionals in his team, because they're having main targets to strive for.

First of all, I believe that no player is bigger than the club, and every player is replaceable, so the hierarchy of pSG should stop crying over a spilt milk and focus more attention on how to improve the club in every aspect, though Kyler mbape is a very quality players no doubt, but his absence wouldn't change anything if psg does their homework properly, because in the past, I believe that bigger and better players has left this psg team, so it's nothing new, it was too much desperation shown by Nasser Al- khalaifi that makes psg looks like they can't do anything without him, which is very much wrong.

Now that he is no longer at the club, the best thing they can actually do for themselves and the team, is to invest heavily in this transfer window on more quality players, than build the team on a single player, because I believe that if they can bring in more quality players, they already have one of the best coach in the business to make psg great again.
4  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: A method i use in avoiding high Bitcoin transaction fees. on: Today at 06:16:26 AM
I'm not really impressed with the high transaction fees and I don't think anyone is, so I came up with an idea. I know many would be familiar with this but those that are not could use this method when transferring BTC. Instead of transferring Bitcoin to someone and end up paying high charges, you could ask the reciever for a USDT wallet address I mostly recommend Ton USDT address (I normally use that network cause it's more cheaper) then convert the BTC to USDT or send USDT to the reciever and then they could convert back to BTC when they successfully receive it, but please don't fail ask for both the Ton USDT wallet address and tag/memo or comment for those transferring from OKX if not the transfer would be completed but the reciever won't get to recieve it. The good thing is that it might be recoverable but the process is very stressful and tiring due to poor costumer service from most exchanges. So always remember to ask for tag incase you consider this method and decide to use Ton for the network.
Bro, what you are saying is very much possible when your money is already in the exchange wallet already, because if it's already in a exchange, you can convert it to even the cheapest Network, just to cut down cost of high transaction fee, but if your money is already in a electrum wallet, bro, the high fees will be unavoidable, because it's actually not a multi coin wallet as trust wallet.

What I usually do  that has been working for me in avoiding this high transaction fee is that, anytime I want to make a transfer from my electrum wallet, I mostly calculate the amount of money that will be ok for me in a month, like  100 or 200 dollar worth of Bitcoin, after such transaction, I wouldn't have to make any withdrawal again till after a months time or sometimes even more, but storing your Bitcoin in an exchange is a no no to me, because you are definitely trying to shoot yourself in the foot by doing so.

Of course, we still remember Reiss Nelson, who was a crucial player for Arsenal and his role as supersub sometimes gave positive results for the Gunners. However, unfortunately, the lack of playing opportunities made him think about leaving Arsenal in the summer, especially since the arrival of Leandro Trossard last season made his place even more marginalized.

Reiss Nelson is only a bench warmer and he seems to be isolated in the main squad and it would be better if he had other goals to make his career better then he should leave the Emirates stadium. So far no club has been linked with his name and at least he has informed Arsenal of his potential departure.

I feel so sad about this guy Reiss Nelson, because he is such a talented player in this arsenal side, but he is not given the opportunity to showcase his talent to the fullest, though, I am not pinning the blame on the manager because their are lots of more quality players ahead of him in that arsenal side, and the signing of trossard made things even more difficult for him.

So to me, I would have loved it, if he went out on loan, than a permanent departure from arsenal, because by going out on loan, he is definitely going to earn more playing time since it's what he actually needs the most now, for his growth and confidence to build to the level required at arsenal, because I really do believe that he has what it takes to play and be a regular in this arsenal side, in the nearest future.
6  Economy / Economics / Re: Saudi Arabia ends 80-year petrodollar deal with US. on: June 15, 2024, 03:05:05 PM
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has failed to renew the agreement that mandates the country to conduct all oil transactions in dollars and invest its oil surplus funds in U.S. Treasuries in exchange for U.S. military support. The agreement expired on June 9, and there is no indication that SA wants it to continue. This opens the door for the Saudis to sell oil in currencies other than the dollar.

This move might be because of Saudia Arabia's membership in the BRICS bloc and its economic shift to other countries like China, Brazil, and others. There has also been some political disaffection between both countries. The petrodollar deal is one of the reasons why the dollar is a popular currency in international trade especially in the oil and gas sector. Therefore the end of the petrodollar deal could accelerate global de-dollarization and that would be a disaster for the U.S. economy.

There has been news about some countries pushing for de-dollarization of the global economy but this move by Saudi Arabia seems to be a big boost to that goal.


https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fxstreet.com/amp/analysis/the-petrodollar-is-dead-and-thats-a-big-deal-202406141938

Actually it's no longer news that the united state of America has been using the dollar as a weapon against most of the rival countries that has opposed their way of doing things, or countries that has refused to concur to do their biding, so on that note, most of this nations are shifting away from the higher dependence on dollar, on international trade.

so I believe that this move is just one of the result of the weaponisation of dollars, by the American, because before now, Russia, china and most of the Brics nations has shifted away from dollar usage in the international market, and I think it's actually going to devalue the dollar the more, because every day different nations are doing the same, which isn't a good one for the continued dominance of the US dollars.

So  till the Americans shift away from the policies of weaponising the dollar, I think that the devaluation of the dollar will continue.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers👉Group Stage on: June 15, 2024, 09:12:09 AM
It is true that EURO 2024 this time gives Germany more opportunities to continue winning. It could be said that the German portion is quite promising if it succeeds in winning the trophy. Starting the journey as the home team and successfully scoring 5 goals, Germany proved that with a squad full of stars this time they could easily overcome obstacles.

Kroos return to the national team squad was the right decision, German has learned from last season that he regretted not calling Kroos to the national team. There is no doubt that as Kroos gets older his abilities become more mature, he also becomes a differentiator on the pitch with his accurate passing. As Fabrizio Romano said, Kroos accuracy is 99%.
It is only in the group stage that it looks like it will be easy for Germany to qualify even as group winners as they will win easily again for the other matches.
If you look at the squad, there is no doubt that all the great players have now gathered in Germany to reclaim the EURO title this year.

Yes Toni Kross is a midfielder who organizes the attack forward, he has proven himself with Real Madrid and brought him the championship now Toni Kross must do the same with his national team, I feel there is no need to doubt Toni Kross's passing is so high accuracy.
Actually I sees Germany as one of the top contenders to win this year uefa European trophy, because the quality in their team are very much visible for all to see with their Stella performance last night, and they are the hosting nation, so it's more of an advantage to them than any other team, so if you look at the midfield par of Toni Kross and iker gundagan, they actually prove themselves yesterday night that they are ready for the battle ahead of them in the later stage of the competition, because I know that they wouldn't have a problem qualifying to the next stage of the competition, no disrespect to the other teams, I feels like they are the strongest team in that group.

Lastly, though they haven't played yet, but the other teams that I believe that have the pedigree of lifting this year uefa European trophy is Portugal and France, I believe that this two teams are the only teams that can defeat whatever foes that comes against them, because they have the quality and experience needed to go all the way in this year competition uefa European trophy.
8  Economy / Speculation / Re: Road to 100k? on: June 14, 2024, 05:46:09 PM
What are we worried about? Volatility and privacy are part of the beauty of Bitcoin, if a newbie investors is getting his or her self worked up for the volatility of Bitcoin, some other veterans or more informed Bitcoin investors will be very much confident because he knows that on the longer run, his investment will generate a very good revenue for him or her, so to me the volatility of Bitcoin is a blessing in disguise.
I don't seems to understand how volatility became the beauty of bitcoin both in terms of investment and for adoption into businesses and daily lives of people. On the contrary, I feel the volatile nature of bitcoin is a major stumbling block confronting bitcoin and its acceptability by businesses. I have seen many people willing to accept bitcoin in their businesses but the major challenge they always reference is that bitcoin is too volatile and that what was agreed now might not hold before payment are completed because of the volatile nature of bitcoin. In terms of long term invest, we might say it does not matter but it can actually affect entry point even though when the intention is for long-term holding. Someone investing in bitcoin through buying the dip might experience price jump when executing the order and this might be in price differential of over $2,000 considering how volatile bitcoin can be. Therefore, we can say that volatility account for the uniqueness of bitcoin and never the beauty.


Ok I understand your point very well, but I have a question for you, how would Bitcoin be different from the fiat if it has no volatility? How would it be different if it's as static as the fiat, and is a prey to inflation?

Or most of us the Bitcoin enthusiastic that are clamouring to one another that we should hold on tight for a very long period of time, so as to be able to build a generational wealth, how are we going to achieve that if Bitcoin is not volatile?

Bro, we are definitely going to end up in a huge lose for holding too long, you know why? Because by then inflation will have a serious effect on it that we are definitely going to regret holding for too long, so my brother, it's because of it volatility we are holding it, because with the high potential of Bitcoin, we stand a chance of making significant gain, if we can hold a bit longer.
You are obviously misunderstanding me and it seems you are mistaking volatility for something else. Volatility happens in any asset that is impacted by news, speculation and uncertainties. It is not only reserved for bitcoin but it also happen even between fiat currencies. If you have ever traded the currency market or have little idea about it, you will understand how news release impact on the volatility between fiat currency pairs such as GBP and USD and the rest of the currency pairs. Volatility is not anti-inflation, that is a different topic all together. So let us be clear on that aspect to avoid dishing out misleading information.

When Satoshi created bitcoin, he never paid any attention to the volatility even though he understood that any asset with huge interest is bound to experience volatility so he expected bitcoin to be a volatile asset.
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.
9  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you prefer between pure price action and indicators? on: June 14, 2024, 01:11:55 PM
When it comes to trading, there are two groups of traders: those who like to use indicators and those who prefer price action only.

Traders who use indicators say they provide accurate entry and exit signals but may sometimes lag. Price action traders argue that indicators rely on price data and thus are unnecessary.

What do you prefer: price action only or indicators?

Yes, it's actually true that trading with only indicators can be very misleading and it might leads to significant losses if your risk management strategy is not being utilized properly, because indicators only reveal the past data of the market, and it potential, but it wouldn't show you a clear path of were the market is going next.

While as for price actions trading system, it's more informative and cannot be misleading as the technical indicators, and each of the candle sticks has a meaning that someone that is actually good in price action trading will know what's the meaning and it sentiment.

But in all this, I believe that regardless of the system you are using to trade, wether price action trading or trading with technical indicators,  if you are real good at it, and you knows what you are doing, you will definitely do better, because your knows how to use them to your own advantage.

I'm focusing on quality over quantity. The only best from the best can win the UCL, and Madrid is my favorite club to win it again.
very simple and also very meaningful.
logically, the quality of the team or more precisely the quality of the players is one of the main roles for the team that will win the UCL title and this only exists in a few big teams that already have experience of getting the UCL title, such as Madrid, Man City, Munich and other teams that have already won the UCL title experience.
but Madrid will be a priority in the UCL every season because in terms of player quality, almost all the players are very experienced and have extraordinary talent and also Madrid has the most achievements in the UCL, so even though there will be many teams entering the UCL zone, Madrid will not have it easy defeated because this team is one of the strongest teams in the UCL without exception.

for me, the addition of UCL participants will not affect the competition for big teams like Madrid because small teams that have just entered the UCL list only need experience and try their luck to get good results, but that doesn't mean they can beat Madrid and for me as a Madrid fan fully supports your opinion regarding the addition of UCL participant slots, which will only provide a new experience for Madrid to meet other small teams.

Yes, I agree with your sentiment about this, the chances of real madrid winning next year uefa champions league is still very high, because in as much as they are very good now, they are still adding more quality players in their ranks, and the addition of Kyler mbape in this real Madrid team will definitely makes them the team to beat, and probably the most strongest team next season.

Though Manchester city are still there, we all know how good they are when they are in their full flow, and I actually believe that they are the only team that has the capacity to put a stop to the dominance of real madrid, because they also possesses quality and experience in their ranks the way real madrid is, so next season competition will definitely going to be fascinating to we the football faithful.

There are several Premier League clubs are still studying Olise at the moment, but Chelsea is attempting to press for his signing as a new player through make a direct contact with palace about olise. Chelsea is now inquiring about Olise's release clause and the blues is still waiting for palace's feedback. It appears that the blues are fully committed to secure him from the Crystal Palace. The Blues are also reported moving further closer to Jhon Duran from Aston Villa. I think that maresca can use all of these talents properly in the upcoming season. Im hoping no more disappointment from these transfers by chelsea.
Enough is enough to see some new players feel so difficult to build chemistry in the club.

The competition to get into the main starting lineup is only growing tougher in chelsea because so many players are available to play in the squad.

Here are a few details about Chelsea's transfer.


- Chelsea is getting closer to John Duran and Olise. Chelsea will have to spend £103 million on these men. that's not a small amounts of chelsea but it sounds better than spend 130 millions only for osimhen, right?
Michael Olise - £65 Million
Jhon Duran - £38 Million

- Chelsea is also reportedly planning a U-turn for Gallagher following his amazing performance last season. The Blues are now considering sending a new contract extension to Gallagher. I believe Gallagher will accept to extend his contract with Chelsea.

The Blues are currently serious about establishing a good club to challenge with Arsenal and Manchester City for the title next season. Im hoping chelsea will be as competitive as when the club was under abramovich.
Actually, I really felt relief when I saw the news yesterday that Gallagher might stay put, because they are now thinking of giving him a contract extension, because before now, I was asking myself that did Todd boehly even knows what he is actually doing? Why would he be even thinking selling Gallagher, at this time that we actually need his services more than ever, so this particular news of Gallagher staying is really a welcome development at the bridge.

And as for the transfer of Micheal olise for £65M, I think it's a fair price for both parties because olise to me is actually a star in the making, and his acquisition will definitely improve the attacking lineup of Chelsea football club, which is going to make competition for starting place among players really really fierce.

Though I believe that Chelsea will be stronger next season, but I don't think they can challenge Manchester city or arsenal for the title,  they aren't ready for that yet, because they lack experience in the team.
12  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell? on: June 13, 2024, 04:21:14 PM

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.

"Real life assets" is another cntroversial term you are using because tell me about someone owning 100 BTC that this person isn't well equipped for "real life" as you call it. When your distinction is between real life and digital in the sense that you can't consume the digital asset in a form of food or use it as shelter, then what is it called when someone owns a piece of art for $100 million? Is it digital? Is it real life?

It's misleading when you make this distinction as bitcoin is probably one of the best real life assets someone could have accumulated over the last decade and even more, unless that person is living in a tent and sold their house. But even then that person can now buy 20 houses, so living in a tent paid off. This is not a recommendation to sell your house and buy BTC tomorrow and then live in a tent and wait, but making the distinction between real life and bitcoin as a digital asset makes no sense. Neither semantically nor logically.

Let's put it this way: what do you think which asset over the course of the last 15 years has changed more real lives than bitcoin? If something chages real lives, is it a real life asset?

If you understand what "Real Life asset" means you would not be confused Mate. Real life asset are asset that exist in real world scenario and are tangible. Is Bitcoin tangible?
You are making a point out of nothing, Bitcoin changing lives as you said does not make it to be categorize as Real life asset. Art work, commodities, Real Estate are examples of Real life asset, I don't understand were you are coming from with your word "Controversial".

It never a misleading point, but a simple word for clarification as such distinction would keep members in a place of acquittance and would not be confused like you.

Bro, please stop trying to mislead people, Bitcoin is an asset just as every other asset,  like gold, stock, land, diamond etc, you are here arguing that Bitcoin is not a real life asset, so I want to ask you, what is real life asset to you?

Is technology not part of our today's world? Are you trying to say that since Bitcoin is not an asset that is physically seen, it's not a real life asset to you?

Try your possible best to read more, so that you can learn, and stop arguing blindly, because you are ignorantly misleading people, because a newbie might see what you are saying now and think it's actually true, which we all know that it's not.
13  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Preparedness is better than prediction on: June 13, 2024, 01:58:00 PM
   Preparedness na the most important thing to do if you wan make or get good things for dis life, some people na mouth dem take dey read ,like Bitcoin we no suppose to dey talk too much before we invest because we know say at all at all we go make am no matter from an amount wey we start to dey invest ,imagine people wey still sit down dey look sey the price of Bitcoin go come down before dem go buy, I no see dat person say him get money to really buy and invest because person wey get money and know wetin investment for Bitcoin dey about, no dey waste time at all. Unlike person wey only dey talk, him wan dey predict weytin go happen next make I be like sey him follow for the matter.
Weti  dey worry people from. Buying bitcoin is procrastination,  that is wetin for the price of bitcoin to come down  for them to buy which sometimes it doesn't even come down just as people expect.  Most people waiting for the price to come down are not even ready to invest in bitcoin they use this as an excuse and later they start regretting for not buying bitcoin as the price is low. Nobody enters the market and do well unprepared .
Procrastination na very big problem wey de make many people to de speculate wen Bitcoin, price go dip well well before dem go buy, but dem forget say nobody know tomorrow, something else fit to carry di money go before price go dip. So di matter no be just to prepare but to get accurate knowledge of wetin you de prepare for and do am at di right time, so I believe say di best preparation for Bitcoin, na to do DCA method. With DCA you no need too much speculations or predictions, na to accumulate and hodle till di peak of bull run, then you go decide weda to sale or continue to hodl.

Na the Koko be that, you don talk about almost all the things I wan talk, but I just say make I add more to wetin you don talk already.

Most of us for this crypto space just like to do work with our mouth without showing working, you go see person wey get all the required tool and material to get the job done, instead of him or her to act on it, him go dy procrastinate just as @kelward don talk already.

And at this particular moment so, if I ask say, how many of us get a very good stash of Bitcoin in our possession, wey if the bull run come today today, how many people fit boastfully say him or her go really gain from am, the people wey go benefit from am no plenty at all, because in our society today, we no dy take preparation serious, na dieing minutes we go start to dy run elter skelter, to do wetin we surpose don do since tey tey, which is a very bad attitude, we forget the saying wey we dy hear almost everyday in our society, wey be, he who fail to plan, plan to fail, we really need to change that behavior if we must succeed in this crypto space, because lack of planning, is planning to fail.

Barcelona wanted to hire Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich and just like some other teams, they tried to do their best to hire this player since he doesn't have a good situation in Bayern Munich and he is not even interested anymore in staying there. Especially when Tuchel was working there Joshua Kimmich was very close to leaving the team.
But since Joshua Kimmich is still under contract with Bayern Munich and Barcelona does not have enough money to hire this player, the only thing they can do is to wait until the time when Joshua Kimmich expires and they get this player for free.


His contract will expire next year, and he can freely choose the club he wants, but if he doesn't play well this season, could Barcelona still be interested in him? Even though Kimmich will be a free transfer next season, bringing in players without impressive performances is only detrimental for Barcelona, ​​whose financial problems not only make it limited in the transfer market but also selective in choosing players because there are salaries that have to be spent.
With the change of coaching at Bayern Munich, perhaps Kimmich will continue his career at this club, especially if there are good things they can achieve next season.

It looks like Joshua Kimmich is also interested in joining Barcelona and Bayern Munich have also indicated that they have no intention of giving Joshua Kimmich a contract extension. However, that might change with the arrival of a new coach at Bayern Munich because Vincent Kompany could have included Kimmich in his plans or there is another team willing to sign Kimmich in the near transfer window. There are rumors that Real Madrid and Man City are also looking at Kimmich, and I think these two teams could sign Kimmich without having to wait for the player to become a free agent.

Yes, I believe that Bayern Munich will extend the contract of Joshua kimmich, because he is not just a quality players but also a top professional in what he does in the field of play, so it's a logical thing to do to extend his contract beyond next season, and secondly, Vincent company the new manager of Bayern Munich is a top fan of Joshua kimmich, so I don't think Joshua kimmich will be sold this summer or not given a contract extension, so he is more likely to extend his stay at Bayern Munich than leaving.

And as for the interest of Barcelona on Joshua kimmich, I really don't think that deal will ever comes to light because, if you look at the terrible financial situation Barcelona are in  right now, I believe that they cannot afford him, mostly his salary, though I believe that hamsick flick is the one pushing for that deal to happen, but I don't think Barcelona have the financial power to pull such deal through.

~snip~
Changing coaches is not a bad idea but changing a coach when the team is having a good performance is not good at all, Chelsea is having a good performance at the end of the season and what the team does is sack the coach, that is not good, to be honest, pochettino is trying his best to make sure the team improve and fight for a good position next season but at the end of the season they sacked him, Chelsea coach is not the problem of the team, although sometimes when a team is having good or bad performance the coach suppose to be blamed but pochettino is not the real problem of Chelsea performance, from the beginning of the season we all know how Chelsea player’s are having injuries including the new players they sign have been having injuries.

Chelsea has signed another coach who will lead the team if the season starts from my experience, they need to cooperate and there should be good communication between the players and coach because if the players don’t like the coach the team will not achieve what they want, if Chelsea can play the way they played at the end of last season they will be able to achieve something good, I didn’t say that they can win the league because any team that can win premier league title is going to be stronger than Manchester City and I don’t see that kind of performance of defeating Manchester City with Chelsea.
True, changing coaches is not bad thing but just look at how Todd Boehly does it, he is not satisfied when the coach fails to build Chelsea but on the other hand there is also dissatisfaction when the team has shown more significant development.
Everything has happened and basically Todd Boehly has quite high ego and it is even very difficult to guess what his thinking was to do all this while he was the owner of Chelsea.
Todd Boehly ambiguous decision is only in the way he makes decisions to always change coaches and I think things like this must be changed, he should really believe in the coach he thinks is the right one, otherwise Chelsea will never develop well.

Chelsea has been able to overcome the problem of players, they have many young players with potential, even some players who are older can still play well, task in developing Chelsea is actually to find the best strengths and make them more stable.

What really annoys me about this Todd boehly is that he always makes an unpopular choice, a choice of managers he knows that wouldn't do well or is not up to standard to come and coach Chelsea,  and if you pay close attention to why he is always hiring inferior coaches, it's because he is looking for the yes men, someone that will always agree to what ever he says or want even though it's actually the wrong thing to do.

Like in the case of Thomas tuchel, he always disagree with the decisions Todd boehly wanted to take regarding players transfer, which are not good for the team, so Todd boehly sacked him for not being the yes man, Mauricio pochettino went through the same experience and that was the main reason he was sacked, though he agreed in the first place of being the yes man, but during the cause of the season, he had some issues with Todd boehly, because they wanted to sell Gallagher, which Mauricio pochettino disagree with them on that move they wanted to take, so I don't think Chelsea will progress with this man Todd boehly in charge of the day to day running of the club, he is too clueless to handle a top team as Chelsea, till he is being replaced by a more competent person, I don't see Chelsea winning anything big in the next 10 years

Manchester United will very likely stick with Erik Ten Haag next season, https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1800662592035451155
new contract talks are still ongoing, and their focus for next season will be with their young players like Mainoo and Garnacho, and if they will focus on young players, maybe there will be an opportunity for Greenwood return to Manchester United and become the main squad there? Man United fans reportedly don't like him after the cases he experienced, but if he can perform well at Getafe, maybe he will also be able to develop well at United next season, and United will be one of the teams with quite a young squad so they could be even stronger. in the next few seasons.
So Erik Ten Hag is staying at Man United? It's good that there is still a chance to start again and the management believes Erik Ten Hag can bring the club better, but there is no chance that during the journey when things are bad Erik Ten Hag can be fired at any time.

Actually, Man United still has a lot of young players with potential, it's just Erik Ten Hag's job to be able to cultivate these players well, but I think he can bring better even though there is always criticism.
About Greenwood what is Erik Ten Hag's decision? The news is that he is also feuding with the coach.
Even if Erik Ten Hag is retained or fired, they will still experience difficulties if they don't change the people in charge of managing players. Because this is not only Erik Ten Hag's fault, but the coaching staff and health staff who control the players' conditions also need to be improved. Learning from this season, so many players have suffered injuries, and this should have been anticipated by the health staff. In reality there is no improvement at all, the field facilities are also getting worse. Plus, Erik Ten Hag also made the wrong choice of several of the players he brought in.

Didn't the Ineos Group say that regardless of the decision in the FA Cup final, Erik Ten Hag would still be fired. but somehow the decision was withdrawn and gave the opportunity for 1 season. With conditions that will not be much different, minimal financial support cannot promise maximum results next season.

I have said this before and am still going to say it again, the major problem of Manchester united is not eric ten hang, the major problem of Manchester united is their hierarchy, why am saying this is that since sir Alex Ferguson left Manchester united in 2012, Manchester united has hired a whole lot of good managers, even the almighty jose Mourinho, which of them that hasn't struggled as their manager?

Almost all of them did badly with the exception of Jose Mourinho and ole gunnar solskjaer, or are we saying that Luis van gaal, jose Mourinho, ole gunnar solskjaer are bad managers? No, it's just how the team is being structured, that's the major problem of Manchester united, so I don't think sacking Eric ten hang will solve the problem of Manchester united, so it's best they should leave him, and the hierarchy should start doing the right thing, by supporting the team on all ramifications, not just focusing on the commercial activities of the club.

for people who are worried about the volatility of bitcoin, then they should not have invested in bitcoin from the start, because before they invest in bitcoin they should have understood the nature of bitcoin which tends to be volatile. and when they have chosen to invest in bitcoin, they should be able to adjust to the bitcoin market situation and focus more on adjusting their investment so that it will not cause potential losses to them.

but that doesn't mean that we don't need to think about the volatility of bitcoin, because it is also necessary to be aware of aggressive market movements, but we just don't focus too much on it so that it disturbs our psychology and makes us think about it day and night.
What are we worried about? Volatility and privacy are part of the beauty of Bitcoin, if a newbie investors is getting his or her self worked up for the volatility of Bitcoin, some other veterans or more informed Bitcoin investors will be very much confident because he knows that on the longer run, his investment will generate a very good revenue for him or her, so to me the volatility of Bitcoin is a blessing in disguise.
I don't seems to understand how volatility became the beauty of bitcoin both in terms of investment and for adoption into businesses and daily lives of people. On the contrary, I feel the volatile nature of bitcoin is a major stumbling block confronting bitcoin and its acceptability by businesses. I have seen many people willing to accept bitcoin in their businesses but the major challenge they always reference is that bitcoin is too volatile and that what was agreed now might not hold before payment are completed because of the volatile nature of bitcoin. In terms of long term invest, we might say it does not matter but it can actually affect entry point even though when the intention is for long-term holding. Someone investing in bitcoin through buying the dip might experience price jump when executing the order and this might be in price differential of over $2,000 considering how volatile bitcoin can be. Therefore, we can say that volatility account for the uniqueness of bitcoin and never the beauty.


Ok I understand your point very well, but I have a question for you, how would Bitcoin be different from the fiat if it has no volatility? How would it be different if it's as static as the fiat, and is a prey to inflation?

Or most of us the Bitcoin enthusiastic that are clamouring to one another that we should hold on tight for a very long period of time, so as to be able to build a generational wealth, how are we going to achieve that if Bitcoin is not volatile?

Bro, we are definitely going to end up in a huge lose for holding too long, you know why? Because by then inflation will have a serious effect on it that we are definitely going to regret holding for too long, so my brother, it's because of it volatility we are holding it, because with the high potential of Bitcoin, we stand a chance of making significant gain, if we can hold a bit longer.

Investing in Bitcoin should never think about the volatility of the market because the religion of Bitcoin is to go up and down. So Bitcoin can move down or up in the market at any time depending on the movement of Bitcoin. And I think an investor should never worry about the volatility of bitcoin investment but rather he plans for the long term. It is the best idea of an investor to always plan for the long term when investing in Bitcoin. When an investor invests in Bitcoin, he plans to hold it for a long time and has a goal. Investors always think positively and when the market reaches its highest level they decide to sell it. Since the Bitcoin market is currently in a good position, it is possible to make a profit by investing from here if the bull market can be held. And I think the Bitcoin market is likely to grow even more from next month and Bitcoin will hit a new record of $100k.

for people who are worried about the volatility of bitcoin, then they should not have invested in bitcoin from the start, because before they invest in bitcoin they should have understood the nature of bitcoin which tends to be volatile. and when they have chosen to invest in bitcoin, they should be able to adjust to the bitcoin market situation and focus more on adjusting their investment so that it will not cause potential losses to them.

but that doesn't mean that we don't need to think about the volatility of bitcoin, because it is also necessary to be aware of aggressive market movements, but we just don't focus too much on it so that it disturbs our psychology and makes us think about it day and night.

What are we worried about?

So as long as you are a long term holder, you don't have to be worried about the volatility of Bitcoin, because it will definitely bounce back to your favour, only if you are a long term holder, so we should be happy for it volatility, not getting worried over it.

Lastly, another set's of people that gets worried about volatility are the traders, so are you a trader?  If not then you should be confident on your Bitcoin investment on the longer run, because it's actually the real deal.

People often say airdrops is free money, I’ve heard someone say he doesn’t like doing something he didn’t invest his money in and it’s a total waste of time. Sometimes you might invest on something and still lose and there are also people who have made it big from these airdrops that are said to be free

Airdrop is not absolutely free, it's a reward for carrying out instructions and task as assigned and  helping the developers test their project.

They're literally paying you with their token at launch for helping them to test it before launch.

you must always activate your mining and perform tasks.
So if you just sign up & do nothing then don't expect any reward.
Your reward is determined by the level of your commitment to task and quest with patience and consistency.
You also get to invest little funds in some of it and pay gas fees so definitely it’s not free 🙂.

In the crypto space how you work is how you gain 💯.

There is never free money in all these Crypto worlds.
You just have to work for it though sometimes some don’t get to launch due to one reason or the other and some fraudulent people also use this means to steal and deprive people of their hard earned funds.

So it’s adviced to use a different wallet for your airdrops and store your funds in a different wallet, Never use same wallet with all your funds to do airdrops to avoid tears. (VERY IMPORTANT)

The older guys in this space can add their thoughts.
Yea, it's actually true, their is no free money in the crypto industry, because for you to be eligible to earn an airdrop from any crypto project, you must have put in a lot of work according to the task that was given, so it's very true that it's not free, because you will definitely spend a whole lot of data and time in putting in the works for you to be eligible.

So am saying this because their was a time in the past, I think it was early last year that I did a few airdrop task and I was expecting a reward afterwards, but I was totally disappointed when the coin was launch, nothing was airdroped to any of the airdrop participants,  so when I think of the kind of effort I put in  without getting anything in return,  I stop wasting my time in doing anything airdrop, because most of these developers are not reliable as they claim.

The problem is that, if gambling is something we should be having fun doing, and we are taking loan to do that then there is a mathematical error there. You shouldn't take a loan to do something "fun" that you will lose money on.
I just don't know what some people think before taking a loan. If you are taking a loan, then it should be for something reasonable and not for gambling. We know gambling is supposed to be for fun, then I don’t know why you have to be in debt just because you want to have fun, it's totally wrong. Why will you want to have fun, and after having fun, you will be looking for a way to pay back your loan? Maybe it’s just high time people started thinking before taking any action. When gambling, we should just have fun. Make sure we are not addicted to gambling, because addiction is what causes all those things.


No, I just feel like reacting to what you said here, and I want to make it very clear, those people that borrows money just to gamble are not gambling for fun, it's either they are already addicted, and the addiction is now playing his role in the persons life or the person in question is taking gambling as a means of making money, because their is no logic in borrowing money just to gamble, then you said that it for fun, that's bullshit, even someone that is stupid wouldn't borrow money to gamble for fun, so in essence is that, it's only someone that is addicted or someone that is gambling for survival that will do that.

Lastly, in gambling, it's stated very clearly that it's best to gamble an amount you can afford to lose, so when you took a loan just to gamble, that's shows that their is more to that actions than just fun, so it's all boils down to addiction or means of survival.
