101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 22, 2024, 12:32:44 PM
I’m looking for a new team to support instead of Chelsea. After yesterday's sacking of coach Pochettino, I've been trying to avoid anything related to Chelsea. I've even unfollowed the board members on Twitter. I can't understand what they expect from managers. Those billionaire owners seem to want a manager who will just bow to them, like Porters. One more season could have made a difference; the statistics prove it. This is a young team with their first experience in England, and Pochettino guided them to winning ways. They played well even during the toughest part of the season when other teams were fighting for survival.Boehly and Eghbali should just go to H**l
If you are a true fan, you will never think of leaving the team just because of this decision of changing or sacking Pochettihnho; if you are a real Chelsea fan, you should have been used to different coaches because Chelsea is a team that don’t usually give coaches long time like Arsenal and Manchester United.

The new Chelsea owners are not actually trying, they don’t believe in any long term process of building team, that is why they are sacking their managers after a failed season, and I don’t think doing so will give the team the best performance they need; over changing managers can even lead the team to downfall because any new coach have to start from beginning and sign another players he feel can do better for him which is another expenses for the team and it will trigger some players to easily leave the club.

I do not know about the managerial career of him. I know that he was a very good defender back in the day. I also know that he is currently the coach of Burnley. And Burnley just got relegated. So I do not think it is going to be a very wise idea to actually get him as the coach of Bayern Munich. They should look for someone who has already been able to prove himself. And I do not think he is that guy.

You know, he has not coached big clubs so far. The first somewhat big club or decent club that he has actually taken up the coaching job for Burnley and they got relegated this season. So I do not think Munich should consider him as an actual candidate. I think Munich will be better off with the coach that they have right now instead of getting Kompany.

Vincent Kompamy tried his best for Burnley this season but they lack quality players that can survive the Premier League which is the reason why they get relegated back to Championship; but if we rate his performance as a coach, he have good tactics that will be useful for big teams that have quality players.

Bayern Munich have good set of players that are capable of winning several trophies; I see him as a good coach but teams like Munich is too big for him especially as Alonso has set new record and is making the Bundesliga more interesting.

Pochetino and Chelsea next season will be hot.He tried towards the end of the season,trying to come to play European football.Chelses is one team that is supposed to be like Arsenal because they are full of young talents.Almost all of them are age brackets,so they should be able to do well and qualify for champions league football.I will look at where they will finish next season,and if they can finish in the top four,the Pochetino will be the real man for the job,but for now,if he is to stay,he must prove to them that he can take these boys to champions league next season.
Pochettihnho has already part ways with Chelsea FC. Chelsea need to start afresh with another manager next season which to me is not a wise idea because  Pochettihnho is about to recover all the lapses and will soon make the team proud, but it seems like the owners are not patient enough to keep waiting.

Meme coin trends change, so some are strong enough to last, some are not. Therefore, we have to choose the best meme coin for investment so that we can make a profit and don't expect quick profits because doge coin took quite a long time to get to this point and reach its highest price
Then how do we know the ones that will last in the market?

Meme coins are good only for short term investment, you can never be sure when the project will go down despite their promises during their advert and because it is centralized the team can part ways after they achieve their goals.

Following trends for short time is good but always do more research about any project you are about to invest in so that you can be safe and make sure you take your profits because altcoins cannot be trusted.

Mixer ban actually contributes to all these; since the mixers were banned some active users stopped given the contributions they used to give in the forum, some of them went offline while some will be online and will not involve in the ongoing discussion which may be worthless according them.
Interesting topics are not more coming to the forum as it used to be in the past and we are losing valuable users: doses that mean that some of us are mainly for the signature campaigns?
And now that high paying campaigns are no more, some prominent members are also no more, what’s actually going on?
105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why use decentralized bitcoin in a centralized way? on: May 21, 2024, 02:30:49 PM
From my research recently, I have come to realize that a lot of bitcoin users are still stuck with the traditional idea of saving money with a central authority. Importing this idea to a decentralized Bitcoin, has led to the invention of bitcoin banks, exchanges and custodial wallets. Now, as the day passes, more bitcoiners are becoming centralized.
Sure, people are using bitcoin in centralized exchanges or in centralized ways which I think can only be involve in sharing of bitcoin within various wallet address.
While some bitcoin users are too careless to be using exchanges to store bitcoin which is not in line with decentralization, but they chose to keep their asset on the exchanges instead of sending them out after trading them in the exchange.


Quote
  Is there a club or group of only people who uses bitcoin the Satoshi way, I will like to belong here.

I do not want to use bitcoin the centralized way, I want to have total control of my coins and be my own bank. Is this difficult to achieve? Are there prices I have to pay or is everyone eventually moving to the centralized way?
Yes, a lot of people here are using Bitcoin the Satoshi way which is taking full control of your Bitcoin and becoming your bank.

You can buy a cold storage wallet, or any non custodial wallets to store your bitcoin, but be mindful of your private key, learn how to save them well because the fear of losing private keys is the reason some people prefer using exchanges. If you can afford any physical bitcoin wallet, you can use an open source wallets like Electrum and Blue wallet for the main time before you can afford a physical wallet.
106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When investing in Bitcoin: what to consider? on: May 21, 2024, 02:14:50 PM
When trying to invest in Bitcoin, you should only consider the benefit of Bitcoin and how does the Bitcoin and the crypto market works; if you understand Bitcoin, you have no doubt on what to consider since you will have known that it is a decentralized currency that will store the value of your wealth and you will even have benefits if the market go bullish.

And critics say Bitcoin doesn't work as a currency, Citing volatility use in illegal activity, but supporters argue that it's too early to make  some of these claims, is already fixing many of those concerns. I know their are so many things to be consider with when it comes to anything investment. Mostly concerning the highest exchange in the world. So what are your opinion towards the people that are investing in Bitcoin?
For the people criticizing Bitcoin which are mostly government that like centralization for selfish reasons, they will always say that it is been used for illegal activities and money laundering which is not true in some extent; although people are using the means of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin to do illegal activities which is also been done with fiat money as well.
107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 20, 2024, 09:33:37 PM
Great match Bologna vs Juventus... I believed in Bologna, but I had no doubt that they would not lose... Juventus combe back must have surprised everyone... Nobody expected them to equalise in the second half in such a desperate situation... But this match once again showed that in football there are often surprises... Now I wonder what Atalanta will be able to do after the Europa League final...

Bologna underestimated Juventus in the second half and paid for that. How could they accept 3 goals to be scored in less than 10 minutes! Juventus isn't a threat to any team in Serie A from a long period now.. They are lucky there will be 5 teams from Serie A to go to the new version of UEFA Champions League, otherwise I start to doubt if they could end 4th or not..
I never expected a draw in the match either, I blame Bologna for being too relaxed with just three goals and I commend Juventus for trying to draw the match. This is sign that next season will be a tough season in the Seria A because if Juventus will recover fully and add more players to their squad they will be title contenders and with this effort teams like Bologna and Atalanta were making, they will also give it a try next season to see if they can perform well just as Leverkusen did in the German Bundesliga.

Previously, all fans believed that this was Arsenal's chance to win the title this season, but at that time Arsenal also had to focus on the Champions League match and ultimately had to lose points in the match against Aston Villa.
Actually Arsenal was not focusing on the Champions league, the reason they failed to win the league was because they were inconsistent at some point in the league which was late last year and how these three teams Liverpool, man City and Arsenal were going during the league season shows Liverpool were title favourite but they end up bottling up the league with a disappointing season ending performance while at that time Arsenal as already been written off but we can say Arsenal did better than their last season because of the consistency they showed during 2024 session of this concluded season.

Any team who really wants to win the league now must be aware that in order to out perform Man City they need to be consistent throughout the whole season.
I don’t believe you for saying that Arsenal are inconsistent this season, in fact, they are the most consistent team in the league, they are just unlucky as they lost to Aston Villa in their match week 33 and that is the main reason why Arsenal lost the title to Manchester City because Manchester City is very good at the end of every season.

On Champions League case, they Arsenal are also willing to go far in the Champions League, but Bayern Munich showed experience and eliminated them with just one goal difference, but the whole world know that Arsenal is trying now and Arteta will soon bring glory back to Emirate.
109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: May 20, 2024, 05:39:03 PM
Atalanta is still fighting for some Champions LEague spot on Serie A, so maybe they can come to the final with a Champions LEague next seasons ecured, or more tired and without that, is a minor thing but in the overall analisys still a important thing to know when we are gonna analize the final.

Until now LEverkusen is 65% odds and Atalanta 35% odds for me.
Atalanta is indeed struggling for another Champions League spot through the Seria A top four spot which can be achieved if they win their last two Seria A matches which will be played after the UEFA Europa League final against the German Bundesliga’s champions Bayer Leverkusen.

If Atalanta can win Leverkusen, then they will be very happy and the team will be the luckiest team this season because defeating a team that has gone the whole season without being defeated in all competitions will be very difficult especially in a final match which will make them to win treble for the season for the first time. Therefore, I am not seeing any chance on paper for Atalanta to win this title, but they can still be lucky to win it.

Bayern Leverkusen finished the season with an incredible record. Xabi Alanso and his friends made history, they did a really good job. They brought a different atmosphere to the league and also showed that it will be far from a league dominated by a single team in the following seasons.

They won the season undefeated in the league, they always managed to win somehow, even in the matches they were behind, they came back and won the match many times. Their only task left now is the UEFA final match against Atalanta.
This is a big moment for the club and for Xavi Alonso, they are both happy with this moment because they have set a record that will take long time before it will be braked.
Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title undefeated, they showed a good quality by making sure they did what Dortmund failed to do for some years by winning the League ahead of Bayern Munich with a record. Kudos to Alonso and the entire squad, they are amazing and they played well and will keep the good work because according their style of play, they still have a long way to go because of their team work.

Congratulations to Bayer Leverkusen.

Arsenal need help from West Ham United for winning premier league tittle this season, being draw or defeat Manchester City give advantage position for Arsenal but have to win against Bournemouth as last Premier League match. But Manchester City get advantage with playing home and not difficult for winning one or two goals after defeating Tottenham Hotspur make The Citizen more confidence for last games in this season.
Being draw against West Ham United make Manchester City on the trouble behind Arsenal has good goal difference and Pep Guardiola must getting three points on last match if want winning premier league again. Arsenal will face Bournemouth and seems will get three points on this match but their winning possibility have waiting Manchester City vs West Ham United match result.
Yes, Arsenal really need help from West Ham United, they are both Londoners and are rivals, but this is a time for West Ham to help their fellow London team by playing at least a draw against Manchester City in their last match, and if they can be able to win the match, it will be better because Arsenal will have advantage if Weat Ham is able to win or draw against Manchester City.
Arsenal also need to win their last match against Everton which I am very sure they will win because it will be played at Emirate stadium and Arsenal fans are hungry for the title this season because this is their best season so r for more than a decade.

Take your time learn and implement before you inter market or make any investment as a newbie
Yes, that’s very correct, but you as a newbie, can you stay to learn while other people are using shitcoins to make money?
Money is basically the main reason why newbies invest in cryptocurrency, they are mostly eager to make money that’s why they are not considering learning first. The normal procedure is learn first before investing in Bitcoin or any coin for your choice.
114  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should there be a way to register your wallet with the government? on: May 17, 2024, 10:04:34 PM
I believe that if we were able to register our wallets, together with the public keys associated with them, but we kept the private keys secret, then most of the declared objections would no longer be relevant. Of course this would need to be an optional registration, but taking advantage of it could help to expand the use of Bitcoin.
If you do this then I think your privacy is not complete. The government will monitor your wallet and will mount task on any transaction you made; although you kept the private keys with you but they know the transaction you did because of blockchain technology that will allow them to track all your transactions. They will be able to see the money laundering they want but if they don’t know any identity attached to the wallet then they have no right to interfere.
115  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does the world know about Bitcoin? on: May 17, 2024, 09:50:53 PM
To me i think there are some part of the world that still don't know anything about Bitcoin, because there are people in USA, UK, Australia, Canada, China,etc. even in Nigeria there are people that don't know anything about Bitcoin, they always think that Bitcoin is a scam, but people that know about it are making thousand of Dollars,($) I think they don't know that we are in a digital world now.
In Nigeria, yes I will believe you that there some parts of the country that didn’t know anything about bitcoin nor cryptocurrency which are mostly the rural areas where they don’t have access to network and probably no any civilization in the village.

USA, UK, Australia, China, and Canada you mentioned are hard to believe especially because of their advancement in any technology. They definitely know Bitcoin more than some of us but their governments are just too strict and are putting regulations on crypto transactions because of task and others. They should know Bitcoin wella because of its decentralized nature in order to avoid task and other charges from the banking sector.

The bookies have spoken:



Odds for the outright winner:



They don't believe Man City will trip in the final game. Especially knowing West Ham have absolutely at stake here. Win or lose, they will finish in the 9th place.
So if anyone still truly believes that Arsenal can win the league, here's a good time to back it up with a wager. I don't.
A good time to bet if the support is real.

I will go with West Ham to draw in one of my slip and I will play West Ham to win on another slip just to show my support to Arsenal because I don’t want Manchester City to win this League this time.
117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: May 16, 2024, 08:29:19 PM
However, I personally don't believe Atalanta can beat Leverkusen because this season Leverkusen is very strong, so I still support Atalanta as UEL champions. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, Bayer Leverksuen have recovered nine times in extra minutes, and this is not luck but the result of Xabi Alanso's brilliant strategy.
Leverkusen have shown their quality performance this season by winning all 5p matches that they ha e played which shows how strong and undefeated that they are. This is the same reason why I don't want to underestimate them in the finals against Atalanta, because it will be a victorious match and season for Leverkusen if they win Atalanta. In the other hand Atalanta is also very strong but they ha e been defeated swveral times, they lost to Juventus in Coppa Italian finals and that makes them a bit weaker than Leverkusen who is unbeaten.
The final match will be a 50/50 game, because I think both of them are good and can win the Europa League in any circumstance.

Leverkusen is having the highest chance by the fans and are the favorite to win the league because they have the best season so far among all the teams that participated in the competition and they have won their domestic league without been defeated and they are also unbeaten in all competitions so far this season, with this reason I think they can win it.
Likewise, I am not understanding Atalanta because they eliminated the second best team in the Europa League which Liverpool and tried to see it to the finals, I think they can also win it.

Antonio of WestHam had already told Arsenal supporters and players that if they can drag City down to the final day of the premier league,that they will help to win  City so that Arsenal can lift the Tittle.If we should come to look at it,the premier league is already becoming boring,with the dominant nature of Manchester City in the premier league.Theybhave been winning the tittle for the past four three seasons now repeatedly,while we have other teams following them without being able to win the league from city's hand.Arsenal have tried their best from last season,but they haven't been lucky,and it seems City will win the league again this season.We hope WestHam wins them,so Arsenal can win theirs and lift the Tittle.
Manchester City’s dominance in the Premier League is actually getting out of control, they have money and they also have a good coach that has helped the team to come from grass to grace; Arsenal on the other hand under Arteta has tried from last season and again this season to win the league, but Man City is the only team that is given them tough time, but I am sure Arsenal will win league anytime soon.

I don’t usually believe on all these players again, we have seen what Son did in their match against Manchester City where he has the chance to equalize but decided not to score so that their rivals Arsenal will not be able to win the League. I am not against West Ham, but I don’t think they can win Manchester City.

There are 13 days to go for the final match.

The updated market for this match is like this:



This would surely vary from one website to another but I'm just sharing the one I've found.  Smiley 

These odds don't make me surprised first of all. I was expecting Olympiacos to have good odds to lift the trophy and they really have. It's worth trying I think and probably I'll do it.  Roll Eyes  However on paper of course Fiorentina are one step ahead. Especially after qualifying for this stage 2 years in a row, I expect them to do their best to lift the trophy finally.

But will they be successful? It's hard to predict at this point.  Tongue
Maybe the bookmakers are making reference to big name in their previous matches in their domestic leagues which I think is the reason why Fiorentina is having smaller odds; but if we make reference to their names, I think Fiorentina is a big name and it is a team in one of the Europe top five leagues which is Seria A, I am expecting a good performance from them and I think they should be able to defeat Olympiacos even though they have various experience in Europa League, and the Conference League.

Chelsea is impressing anyone in the last part of the season and I am very happy about this,so how many games they have won,it has been quite a lot and this last one against Brighton tonight in Brighton home just highlights their perfect form.As I said before it must be because the players are enjoying football and playing without any added pressure,no one forced them or expected them to get a place in European competitions although the club management would be happy about it,yet they got and got there,what a wonderful ending to the season for them.The Premier League is over though and are these teams who are making these last weeks enjoyable,I enjoyed the game a lot tonight watching beautiful football.
Chelsea’s performance towards the end of this season is very superb, they are very serious towards the end of the season and they are above Manchester United trying their possible best to see if they can make it to the Europa League. I am very impressed and surprised by Chelsea’s performance because they are now in the sixth position in the premier league table above Manchester United and they will likely play the Europa League next season while Manchester United will hardly play the Europ.
