101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 03, 2024, 04:53:17 AM
I will have to disagree with some of your points, yes it was a bad night for Tottenham Hot spur once again but i wasn’t too surprised because In their last 15 matches with Chelsea they have managed to win only once which shows the superiority of Chelsea in the London derby. Chelsea today also played well than in their previous games knowing full well that a loss today will have ended their hopes of any European football next season. This win today now sets them on the verge of qualifying for at least the Conference league.
If we look at the H2H statistics for Tottenham vs Chelsea, indeed, it is not quite impressive because after all, Chelsea is above Tottenham, regarding the number of wins. However, I was actually a bit surprised by the results, to be honest, I didn't watch it this time. But I think Tottenham will win. This is probably an overthinking thing and I'm already too disappointed with the performance and results of the match with Chelsea, that's what I feel. But indeed, lately, Tottenham has been playing very badly, they haven't even had a win in the last 3 matches, only a red mark.

Well, interestingly, check this:

Source: Chelsea’s home record vs. Tottenham


Don't be that too surprised bro, Chelsea is not doing fine at the moment no doubt, but you have to know that no other team knows how to beat Tottenham Hotspur than Chelsea in the English premier league, so don't be that too surprised, besides Chelsea put in a very good performance that made their winning very deserving, even though they weren't expected to win this one here by most neutral fan, so a big congrats to them for getting the desired result against their arch rivals.

Lastly, I think the race to qualify for European places is really heating up very well because as I check the premier league table, it's only Aston villa that is way apart, if not from Tottenham Hotspur which is in number fifth to number eight, they are just separate by nine point, and Manchester united, Newcastle united and Chelsea all have a game in hand compared to Tottenham Hotspur and Aston villa, so I believe that, between now and the end of the season, anything can still happen in the race for a spot in Europe.

Every day we hear about the naira going up or coming down.


In the morning, the price of a naira to dollar fit be 1300 to 1 dollar and in the afternoon it may now have changed to 1350. Watching it happen in real time is so fascinating that I wonder how does this price movement mechanism happen.
Abi dem connect these P2P platforms to our Naija stock Exchange or some kind of forex market API? Abi which kind other method way dem dey use take determined and put update for the exchange rated. Abeg I assume say most of us dey use P2P platforms and if you sabi how this thing dey work, I go like make you enlighten me.



Bro, no just allow am confuse you, wetin dy affect the price of dollar and price of naira na just people's sentiment, or I go say na the higher rate of demand or less demand nai dey affect the price, ok make we look am from this angle, you know say as Nigerian wey we be, we dy do more of importation than exportation, so while doing that, we need to get dollar in hand, for the importation of any goods or service to go through, so our demand for dollar dy very  high now, and any action like that dy always reflect in the parallel market.

And for economics, we all know say the higher the demand of a goods, the higher the price of the commodity, so as it stands now, the demand for dollar in naija dy too high, the government just dy try all their best to suppress the appreciation of the dollar, which I believe say Dem no go fit sustain am, because the root cause has not been addressed, and until they address the root cause, and the demand of dollars reduced, na so dollar go keep on rising everyday, wether the government like it or not.

Ten Hag: “I can see that Man United fans are behind us always."
"We are entering Old Trafford, I heard the reception. Wednesday was louder than I have heard. Also away: always supportive, backing the team and there is a very good connection between the team and the fans”.

https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1783894305540657499

First of all, I do not know if he is actually telling the truth.
If he is actually telling the truth, what are the Manchester United fans doing?
How are they actually supporting him?

By the way, I don't know if they were actually shouting in support of him or if they were actually shouting so they could watch him leave Manchester United. Because at this moment him leaving Manchester United is probably the best thing that could happen to Manchester United. Other than the Glaziers not being the owners of Manchester United of course. I was pretty sure that Manchester United was preparing to bring in a new coach. What happened to that? They were actually serious about it or not? I hope United is thinking of something else other than just a collab with Speed.

This is actually not true, no  Manchester united fan is in support of Eric ten hang staying at the club next season, his performance at the club have been really poor, and it's even getting worse, by the look of things, they will not even qualify for the uefa Europa league next season if care is not taken, because right now, their performance is really the worst I have seen from Manchester united in recent years.

So I think that, the best thing that should be done is for the club to part way with Eric ten hang  and someone more competent should be given the coaching position to handle, because right now the performance of Manchester united is even much worse than that of Chelsea in my own opinion.

I cannot imagine the result I am seeing, first because I lost my prediction and second because Borussia Dortmund weren't expected to win even though they are playing home!
Both teams played equally from what I heard and it seems that PSG will have hard moments getting a draw and passing Borussia Dortmund in the second leg. Taking unnecessary risks after a defeat is something PSG has to have to avoid leaving the competition. We are talking about a golden season for PSG that might vanish and turn to a nightmare in case of failure..
This is what is said anything can happen on the field, things that were not expected or previously predicted could change 180% as long as the two teams are still fighting on the field. Dortmund really took advantage of the opportunity to play at home, the mentality of the players was also very strong in pursuing victory.
PSG which was previously predicted to be able to score goals at Dortmund headquarters, actually emerged as the team with the least chance of qualifying for the final. A 1-0 win in the first leg will increase the players' motivation to play more disciplined in the second leg, Dortmund only needs a draw to ensure a ticket to the final.


Of course, in this match, there were quite a few who failed to bet on PSG. But yes, the results of matches are always difficult to predict because if you look at Dortmund's ranking in the Bundesliga, which is currently in 5th place, it is certainly very different from PSG's ranking, which is currently in 1st place in Ligue 1.

Yes, Dortmund is playing well at home, but if you think about it, it is normal with the results achieved by Dortmund to be able to draw with PSG considering that they are the hosts.

Yes, Dortmund is of course happy now because just by playing a draw in the second leg, Dortmund will qualify for the final, of course they will play again with a tougher opponent, whether it's Real Madrid or Bayern, which are the same from Bundesliga

However, the hope for Mbappe and his friends to advance to the final is certainly wide open as long as they can win and score lots of goals, but as hosts PSG would be a shame if for example they lost to Dortmund and if for example PSG lost at home it means that Dortmund is really strong. Honestly, in betting on the 2nd leg, I find it difficult to predict whether Dortmund or PSG will win, but we'll see.


It actually true that the game is very much open because a one nil scorelines is not that much to rely on, and dortmund is very much aware of that, but they will be going to France with a lot of confidence after winning the first leg, but as for me, I still believe that psg have all it takes to turn this tie around since it's just a one nil scorelines, but I actually don't think any of this teams has what it takes to win any of their potential finalist, either real madrid or Bayern Munich, because after watching both semi final, the quality between these two matches are very much obvious, that is why I believe that the winner of this year champions league is in between real madrid or Bayern Munich,  they have all required quality and experience to win it, if any of them can get to the finals.

But nothing should be ruled out completely, because in football any thing can happen, especially at this particular stage of the competition, so let's just watch and see how things plays out.

The fear of rising crime in our society is no joke and can't be ignored.This is why All people should have the rights to own Guns.

One can protect oneself,one's family and not bend down to anybody.

Possession of firearms often reduces home robberies and assaultive crimes like rape both by family members and strangers.

They are excellent tools for protection and self- defense.

Agree or Disagree

https://secondamendmentcenter.org/people-should-have-the-right-to-own-guns/

As I was reading this post, I was just contemplating on so many scenario of how the society would look like if everyone is in possession of firearm, it would be actually crazy no doubt, because to me their are so many crazy people out there in the streets which will definitely pull out a gun for any slit provocation against them, and their will be much more insecurities in our society than as it is today, Because people will start doing things with reckless impunity believing that nobody can stop them since they have power (gun) to counter anyone that tries to stop them, so I don't think it's a good idea for everyone to be in possession of firearms.

Lastly, why I really  think it's a very wrong move if the citizens of a state Is being armed is that, their are so many mentally challenged people out there in the streets and the ones in our homes, have you ever ask yourself what kind of havock they might cause if any firearms get into their possession? So it's best thing stay as it is, what the government should do instead is to beef up more security, and the police should be more fast in response to any security issues.
106  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: May 02, 2024, 07:24:29 AM
OK, the DIP is coming and it's NOW the time for YOU to PAY ATTENTION. For those who employ a DCA strategy, it's probably a good decision to start making your purchases bigger. For those who employ a Buy the DIP strategy, start placing your bids NOW. Currently, the 200-Weekly Simple Moving Average is at $34,200. Will it touch that line again? Probably not, but near that line has always been a good buying opportunity.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bitcoin bounced back to $56500 today creating a substantial opportunity for Bitcoin investors. As Bitcoin broke the $60,000 line and dropped to the $56,000 line, Bitcoin may fall to $50,000, making it a good time to invest for Bitcoin investors. For those who invest using the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) method, this is considered a dip market enough to invest in.

Though it's actually true that the price of Bitcoin can drop even further, considering the market sentiment, but as an investor that we are, I don't really think it's necessary analysing the market before we start buying, because every time is an opportunity to invest in Bitcoin, and as an investor that is accumulating Bitcoin through the DCA accumulating strategy, you are actually going to be the most benefactor because at some point during the accumulate journey, you may buy the lowest part of the deep, and even decide to buy aggressively during that period that the price was very down, as long as it doesn't affect you in financing your your day to day activities, but for those that are waiting only to buy at the deep, they are definitely going to miss a whole lot of buying opportunities, because the kind of deep they may be waiting for may not come again, so it's best to buy now.

And lastly, as a long term investor that we are, it's actually pointless paying too much attention to the price of Bitcoin every now and then, though it's very difficult to do, the best way to hold is for you to focus more on accumulating Bitcoin and stop paying too much attention to your current stash of holding, so that you won't be tempted to temper with it at some point.
107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 01, 2024, 07:40:18 AM
I think, Arsenal will definitely lose some matches in their remaining matches, because there are some teams that know how to stop Arsenal in their home not to achieve victory from them, which they will like to apply the same tactics to frustrate Arsenal effort for Manchester city to return back to the first position.  For Arsenal to defeated Chelsea with many goals in their last match, show that Arsenal has performed well in this season but for Arsenal to win the premier league title, I don't think it will be possible for them because Manchester city is still performing to win the title again. I don't think, Arsenal can win all their remaining matches, because some of their opponents will defeat Arsenal to achieve three points or draw with Arsenal to share points.
Manchester City will not back down when they have Pep Guardiola who's also in on for lifting the title again this season. Arsenal are here for the points but it comes with a cost which Mikel Arteta is ready to give his best for the most essential positive results. Arsenal have three more games to go and there'd presence of threats for them. We're talking about Bournemouth, Manchester United and Everton. We expects Gunners to become prioritized with the big winning but when it comes to EPL matches.
If Arsenal really wants the EPL title, they must be able to get consecutive wins until the end of the season and the only question is whether Arsenal can get 3 points in the match against Man United? and will we see Man City lose 1 time in the remaining matches?
It is quite difficult to think positively about the final result of this season for Arsenal because the match schedule and remaining matches are very different and Man City will be more favored.
It's not surprising that most people think that Guardiola will not give up on winning the EPL title from Arsenal because Man City has the advantage of 1 more match remaining than Arsenal and logically Man City will get the EPL title if both teams finish the remaining matches with wins in all upcoming match session.

I don't doubt Arsenal here but I'm really sure most of the people here will have the same thought and I thought that always including Man City in the betting slip would be very profitable.

The biggest mistake made by arsenal is allowing Manchester city go top of the league, because as they are, if you check their history especially in this closing stage of the season, they hardly lose points, so I actually don't see them dropping any point between now and the end of the season.

Another thing we needs to watch out for is the remaining fixture of both teams, the fixture between Manchester united vs arsenal, and the fixture between Tottenham vs Manchester city is actually going to be key in deciding who will be crown champions at the end of the season, but arsenal really need to stay in the contest by not losing any point till the final day, while hoping that Manchester city might drop any point along the way, if they really want to be crown champions at the end of the season.

One of the leaders of Manchester United has held talks with Thomas Tuchel’s agent about potentially becoming the new head coach.
https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1784655015166062691

I think Manchester United does not have any intention of improving the coach that they have. I am pretty sure that even if they bring in Thomas Tuchel, he is not willing to bring in any improved results in the long run compared to the coach that they have right now. I did hear that Zidane had shown interest in managing Manchester United. I wonder why they are not interested in bringing him in as the coach. Because that guy was going to be a very big improvement compared to what they have and whom we are talking about right now. I don’t understand how they fail to see this. Manchester United is absolutely destroyed as a club in my opinion. They are more interested in PR and T-shirt sales instead of actually bringing in good results.

If they refused to bring in Zidane,that means they don't like something good.Zidane was the best at Madrid,and I'm not sure he was sacked when he left,that is to say he would have a significant impact on the club.Zidane knows how to coach and turn things around, because I know quite well that the problem Man United have now is not players,but their coach.Ten- Hag does not have the ability to manage a club like  Man u,and that is what is affecting their result.
But if they can get Zidane at the end of the season,there is every tendency that they will will be a contender for the tittle next season.

It's crystal clear for everyone to see that Manchester united as a club is not serious when it comes getting result and winning trophies, they are more concerned about their commercial activities than what's going on in the field of play, let just look at the performance of Eric ten hang over the cause of the season, he has been very poor, and with the kind of players at his disposal, i really do think he should be doing better.

But the sad reality about Manchester united is that, long gone are the days that they wanted to win, and those days are the day of sir Alex Ferguson, even Luis van gaal said it that Manchester united is more concerned by their commercial activities than what's going on in the field of play which is very wrong, so in my opinion, in think Eric ten hang should be shown the exit door, because he hasn't done enough for him to merit another chance to look if he can turn things around.

In my opinion it is completely inappropriate to diversify because we only buy bitcoins not shitcoins. If they are afraid of losing then it is better for them not to invest. Every investment has risks, but we can minimize the risks by choosing Bitcoin as a long-term investment. For someone who does not have full confidence in the decisions he makes, I consider him not mature enough to invest.

It's true, as you said, why diversify assets if the other goal is for shitcoins. in a situation like this I just give a little experience that I saw in media X where many people have become poor because of buying shitcoins and I hope everyone in this thread doesn't become the next victim of shitcoins.

Just focus on Bitcoin, if you don't know Bitcoin well enough then learn while investing. Everything takes time to achieve success in the investments we make. Therefore, continue to believe in your decisions rather than listening to misleading influencers on social media.
Sometimes I also wonder why people try to diversify to other form of investment that is lesser than the one they already own, basically diversifying from Bitcoin to shitcoins how does that even sound in the ear in the first place? However, if you must want to diversify your investment let it be on an asset that is worth it or worth more than Bitcoin and to me I don't even see any digital investment that is worth more than Bitcoin except maybe some real life projects that have high potential values and returns just like real estate so that is the kind of investment to diversify to instead of shitcoins because I just see shitcoins like a distraction for anyone who is committed to owning a huge portfolio in his Bitcoin holdings.

Investing on shitcoins has caused a lot of people emotional damages even one of my cousin who was into Bitcoin before me told me that I should never give shitcoins a trial any day no matter how much i have because he has wasted thousands of dollars on shitcoins but what did he got in return? Losses. Never will I diversify my Bitcoin investment to shitcoins except if it is an asset that has more value than Bitcoin and for now I've seen none.

People have mostly fail to understand that in crypto their is no diversification, because their is no substitute to Bitcoin, you can't be selling off your Bitcoin and be buying alt or shit coin, to me, that's stupidity in the highest other, so it's either Bitcoin or nothing in the crypto space.

But if you are talking of diversification of investment in real sense, you can diversify with an asset like gold, land, real estate just as cryptoprincess has already, said stock, diamond and some other businesses away from Bitcoin entirely,  but as long as it's in this digital space, it's best we stick to Bitcoin till the very end, because it's the real deal.

Bayern's semifinal match against Real Madrid in the UCL was really tense and both teams really played with enthusiasm and in the end Bayern and Real Madrid had to settle for a 2-2 draw and I really like the performance of Vinicius who is really great at playing the ball and also In terms of utilizing opportunities, it's pretty good and Vinicius is really a hero at the moment for Real Madrid because he scored 2 goals.

Sane and Kane are really good and he was the hero for Bayern in the match. I think the match in the 2nd leg later be a match that will definitely be more exciting because Ancelotti's troops and Tuchel's troops will definitely play optimally in the match. Honestly, I find it difficult. predicted the result of the match in their 2nd leg, but I predicted that Ancelotti's troops would win in the 2nd leg semi-final match. Honestly, I didn't think that the match would end in a draw because I thought Real Madrid would be successful against Bayern, but in fact Bayern was right. really strong. Of course both team coaches will show their best performance in the second leg of the semifinals later

That's right, their match was very fierce where both teams played a very fast game, so I thought the match seemed to have sped up two times. I felt the thrill of the match between these two teams, even though I didn't support either one, the tension in the match was really palpable. With Bayern Munic continuing to pressure Real Madrid in the early minutes until Real Madrid couldn't move, Bayern Munich's attack really made things difficult for Real Madrid, and in my opinion this match was very tense.

with the final result being a draw, it was beyond my expectations, I thought Real Madrid could beat Bayern Munich, but in fact they didn't. Bayern Munich can keep up with them and they even put continuous pressure on Real Madrid.  In the early minutes of the first half, Bayern Munich's defense was difficult to overcome,  but even so, Real Madrid was able to score two goals, and with the final result being a draw, this will make their match in the second leg even more exciting. Vinicius managed to maximize the opportunities he got, making this match a draw.

It's was really a fascinating encounter between this two giant of European football no doubt, and of a truth, I really enjoyed the game,  I just feels like the finals of this year champions league came too early, because I sees this game as the finals, and any of them that finally prevail in the reverse fixture will definitely lift the trophy no doubt.

And as for the tie, the contest is still very open, because any of them can still get the required result in the second leg, but as of now, real madrid is the clear favourite to win this one, and I was actually impressed by the much improved performance from Bayern Munich, which I believe that if they can replicate that kind of performance at the Santiago benabao, they will definitely stand a chance of winning and qualifying to the finals.

Pochettino: It looks like [on the press] only I need to prove myself. It's always: the coach needs to prove himself.
But we are all responsible. We all need to prove that we deserve to be here next season, not only me.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1783853537052499995

I think the coach has actually forgotten that when the players have proved themselves previously and that's why everybody is pointing fingers at him. If he did not have a good enough team, I am pretty sure that everyone was going to point fingers at the players. I understand that he is not trying to take the blame alone. Because that is definitely not going to be good for his career. But I definitely believe that the bigger blame does go to him.
To be honest, all of parties in chelsea deseverd to be blamed. It doesn't even matter whether it was owner, players, management or even coach itself. They were doing their shitty things that destroyed the club.

- Boehly with his bad habit to always intervening his team
- The management with theri garbage scouting team
- Players with their bad habits and inconsistent performances at the late game
- Coach with his very very bad decision making that's often cost the club three points

All of chelsea fans have been pointing their fingers not only on him. But to the all of parties in the chelsea. They are all having their own role to destroy the club.

Of course, other people might have different opinions on this. Now I am saying that a lot of things might be fixed if they change the coach. Which I genuinely believe, if they bring in a better coach, they will have better results. But there is no guarantee of that happening as well.
Coach, players, management or even toed boehly as a chairman shall be also replaced. We have seen how garbage and inconsistent chelsea in the last two seasons. it has proven how garbage this club is right now.
Fixing the problems are a must even though it sounds like a gambling. What's a better solution other than replacing all of the main problems in the club? I hope the investors behind claarke will able to do something regarding this.


You aren't far from the truth bro, you are partially right on some part, but to me, it's very clear who is to blame for all that it's going on in the club, and that person is no other person that Toed boerhly, he has practically reduced Chelsea to the lowest I have ever seen, since my existence as a football fan.

As he bought the club, the first wrong move he made was sacking peter cech and the Russia woman in charge of the day to day running of the club, the second bad move was sacking Thomas tuchel and replacing him with a clueless Graham potter, since then it has been from one bad decision to another, even the new sporting director that was signed, later resign because he wasn't allowed to do his job, the interference was too much for him to take.

And lastly, this Mauricio pochettino that was hired is just a yes man, a coach that accept a job that he wouldn't even have a say on who goes in and out of the club, I am not blaming him much because I already know before now that he is a clueless manager, i only blame toed boerhly for hiring someone as clueless as him, all because he is looking for whom to control, till Toed boerhly remove his hands from Chelsea entirely, and people that knows the job is being hired, that's how Chelsea will keeps on suffering, I can bet on that.

My point is not so much about the timeline exactly, even though I agree that having a longer timeline should allow for pacing of the investing - yet all along, any of us should know that at any time, our investment in bitcoin could go to zero, so we could lose up to 100% of our investment, and we could also lose some variation in-between 0% and 100%, since bitcoin is also not guaranteed to make any kind of a profit.

There surely is the other side of the ledger that should also establish that it is possible for BTC prices to appreciate greatly, so that remains part of the nature of an asymmetric bet.. a possibility of losing up to 100% (and no more if you do not leverage), but also there are various upside possibilities too, that contributes to abilities to potentially profit several times more than 100%, depending on how either side of the scenario plays out, and surely there have been many of us who have already profited stupendously in bitcoin, so we likely have decently sized profit cushions, yet there are also people who are more recent entrants into bitcoin, and surely bitcoin's price is generally up so a large number of folks who have been buying regularly and consistently over recent times are likely to be in profits, even though more recent entrants may or may not be in profits, and new entrants into bitcoin have to consider the various ways that they might want to get into bitcoin, including my own ongoing recommendation that anyone new to bitcoin should get started right away, and sure s/he may have to figure out details at a later date.

The future of our bitcoin investment remains uncertain and either possibilities of we profiting off our investment or losing 100% of our investment can happen and should be considered, but sincerely speaking I myself along many others hardly put in mind or would want our bitcoin investment after holding and accumulating for so many years to not profit us, I also understand that to be on the safe side of the spinning coin we should invest with money that we won't miss during the time of our investment or something like our spare money, yet the reality before us is the fact that bitcoin is doing well and has been for some years, making many that invested earlier rich and others in good profit and we also know that the only way to prepare for up is to continue buying bitcoin, leaving us in situation where we have to side one variable of possibility over the other at least a little.

Here is what I mean, I know that bitcoin might not do well and also it might do well and to be safe I have to invest with money I won't be needing, but if want to profit from bitcoin I have to have a good stash which means been aggressive to a point and that involves giving all or a major percentage of my disposable income to bitcoin and at that point if bitcoin goes wrong I will be hurt, if I like it or not, but i won't be affected by it since I wasn't investing out of my disposable income.

And this can also come to affect how many of us would approach investing in bitcoin, to be either whimy since they would rather side the fear of losing all or aggressive knowing that there is a risk of loss but rather choses to buy bitcoin aggressively.

It's actually true that no investment is risk free and Bitcoin is no exception, but it's an asset that is worth investing in, because it has proven itself over and over again over the years that even though it goes through a rough path at some point, it can still rally it way up regardless of the effort it haters put in for it to crash, but it still stands strong.

And we need to know that not everyone that invest in Bitcoin will be able to build a generational wealth because not everyone will be able to accumulate enough stash of Bitcoin that can have a major impact on his or her life, so in other for we to be able to build generational wealth over the years, while practicing the DCA method, we need to try ask much as possible to accumulate a very good stash of Bitcoin, because that is what will determine whether you will be successful or not on the longer run.

You are very much correct bro, but am not quite certain when you are talking of the percentage involved....
What Op Is talking about here is that we should always read the terms and conditions of anything we do generally and this is true because many have suffered greatly from this ignorance even outside the crypto space. So we have to always take our time to know the terms and conditions of anything we buy or do because prevention is better than sorry


-snip- because I have experience a crazy and stupid terms  and conditions from most of this p2p merchant when doing p2p transaction, you will see a merchant that will say that two hundred naira will be deducted from the original money he wanted to pay as bank charges, if he is buying from you, so due to the fact that most people don't actually read terms and conditions on most of this adds the merchant put up, they will later start having problem with the merchant, and to tell you the truth, the merchant will always win the case when the issue is being settled by customer support, because his terms and conditions were  written down clearly already before the trade was opened, so they believed that you agreed to it, so in essence of all this, it's very very important to read terms and conditions of most of this merchant when doing p2p transaction, because most of them are just crazy, someone will boldly say that he wouldn't release or pay if your phone number is not submitted to him, so he can call, as if it's a compulsory thing, so we should be very careful with terms and conditions generally.

but please can you try give some space in your text since it's hard to read like this





Noted bro.

I believe Man City will be able to defend the championship trophy. Arsenal should only blame themselves because they continue to make the same mistakes as last season.
Arsenal skipped pass Tottenham who were predicted to be a problem for the team in top three as they all fight to finish well this season. Manchester City will face the same conditions as Arsenal did, playing the game at Tottenham's stadium. Tottenham press very well, and if Manchester City are not careful, they can make things difficult for them at this crucial point in the season. It remains a fierce battle, Arsenal lost one game this year and it looked like it ruined their chances already, it shows that this season in the league is very competitive.

Yes, Arsenal experienced heart-stopping moments at the end of the match on Tottenham's field. The biggest challenge for Man City will be the away trip to Tottenham's stadium. Ange Postecoglou's team is still racing for a place in the top four and will compete without mercy. In addition, Man City has a poor record on Spurs' field. But with their current strength, they will easily overcome this match.

As for Arsenal, they still have a difficult match. I think this opponent will be more challenging to play than Tottenham, even though they are ranked below Tottenham. The Gunners will have to face Man United away from home. Although Erik ten Hag's team has played poorly this season, on a good day, they can completely ruin Arsenal's championship dream. It's just like how Man United destroyed Liverpool. Man United is now officially out of chances to reach the top 4 but is still fighting to win a place in next season's European Cup. Of course, Arsenal is still slightly better than the odds.


Yes, it's very true that arsenal are in a very good run of form right now, and it will be very difficult for them to lose a point between now and the end of the season no doubt, but their remaining fixtures compared to the fixtures of Manchester city is actually really troubling, because they still have Manchester united to play, a team that haven't been doing well no doubt, but they mostly step up against the bigger teams, and if you look at their head too head record against Manchester united, you will actually know why almost all reasonable arsenal fan would be worried, because that's a game that might end their title dream if care is not taken.

And as for Manchester city, I have said this before, and am still going to say it again, the biggest mistake made by both arsenal and Liverpool was allowing Manchester city go above them in the league table, because the Manchester city I know have the ability of winning all the remaining fixture and be crown champions at the end of the season, and one interesting fact about them is that they always wins the league anytime they go top, at this stage of the season, because they would not let any slip up again.

While we're getting close to the game between Bayern Munch and Real Madrid it seems there is going to be a piece of bad news for Bayern Munich before this match. Real Madrid is in the good form and they have the first chance to win the game and even to win the Champions League but it seems Bayern MUnich's situation is not good at all because they lost the Bundesliga title.
Domestic leagues and Champions League are very different and in Champions League, with knock out formation, a weaker team can win against a stronger team. Bayern Munich did not have a good season in Bundesliga and it is contrast to Real Madrid in La Liga, though their performances in two direct matches will decide the winner. Their results in Bundesliga and La Liga won't decide the winner in Champions League semi finals.

Quote
Other than this Matthijs de Ligt the player of Bayern Munich is not in a good situation and he is injured in the game against Frankfurt and this can make Matthijs de Ligt to be absent from this match.
De Ligt is important central defender for Bayern Munich but it's not wrong if I say this defender did not grow up too well after he left Ajax Amsterdam years ago. Some years in Juventus and Bayern Munich, he looks to be very similar, not upgrade himself well.

Because of his importance with Bayern Munich defense system, their defense system will be affected if the Dutch player can not play in a first semi final match or both semi final matches.
It's true that mathijs de light is a very good defender no doubt, but to be honest, his importance to this Bayern Munich team is being over stated, because to me, hw hasn't lived up to the hype that almost everyone close to him expected him to, and I don't necessarily think they are going to miss him that much because Bayern Munich has been coping with a lot of injuries almost throughout the season, so I don't think it's a new thing too them.

And as for the match between Bayern Munich vs real madrid, it's actually going to be a fascinating encounter, no doubt, but since real madrid is the most informed team among them, almost everyone will be logically giving it to real madrid, but this is the semi final stage of the uefa champions league, no them is an under 🐕 dogs, so to me, it would be best that real madrid give no room for complacence if they must progress to the finals.

Research has shown that 80% of Africans don't even read through the terms and condition before entering into a deal, or signing a contract.
Not finding time to read through the terms and condition before signing any agreement is very very wrong and you must refrain from such attitude as this could limit your legal remedies if things go wrong.
Africans might simply be unaware of the potential consequences of not reading them. They may not realise the rights they could be giving up and that's one of the things affecting us till date.
My father bought a pieces of land and in their agreement written it was said that after 3 years of not putting a permanent structure on the land he will lose ownership of the land, but he pay no attention to the terms and condition and he was using the land for agriculture. So after the 3 years the community came back to collect the land from him and he challenged the community to court just to find out that it was written in the terms and conditions.
If you have a terms and conditions agreement, you'll know the answer instead of having to go to arbitration, so please in whatever thing you are putting okay or your signature do read the terms be it on paper or your phone, it will saved you from alot!




You are very much correct bro, but am not quite certain when you are talking of the percentage involved, because I have experience a crazy and stupid terms  and conditions from most of this p2p merchant when doing p2p transaction, you will see a merchant that will say that two hundred naira will be deducted from the original money he wanted to pay as bank charges, if he is buying from you, so due to the fact that most people don't actually read terms and conditions on most of this adds the merchant put up, they will later start having problem with the merchant, and to tell you the truth, the merchant will always win the case when the issue is being settled by customer support, because his terms and conditions were  written down clearly already before the trade was opened, so they believed that you agreed to it, so in essence of all this, it's very very important to read terms and conditions of most of this merchant when doing p2p transaction, because most of them are just crazy, someone will boldly say that he wouldn't release or pay if your phone number is not submitted to him, so he can call, as if it's a compulsory thing, so we should be very careful with terms and conditions generally.

We are not completely sure about this yet but maybe there is a chance for Bernardo Silva to finally join Barcelona.
Barcelona tried to send him an offer and hire this player in the last summer and they showed interest in hiring this player but Manchester City asked for too much money while Barcelona couldn't pay anything to make Bernardo Silva move.
Even Xavi wanted to have this player and he asked Barcelona many times about Bernardo Silva.
Now it seems Manchester City said if Guardiola accepts they will let Bernardo Silva go and join Xavi in Barcelona while Gaduiola has already shown the green light for Bernardo Silva to leave the team for Barcelona.


Indeed since last season Barcelona was linked to Bernardo Silva because Xavi is really want him but unfortunately this transfer was never happend because Barcelona have no money to bought him and although Bernardo Silva has just extended his contract with Manchester City until 2026 but potentially he can leave Manchester City this summer but indeed Barcelona is not the only team who want to bought him because the rumour also mentioned PSG or even Real Madrid also has showing their interest to Bernardo Silva and probably this summer those teams will make a bid for him

I don't know this is true or not because it says Bernardo Silva has release clause into his contract and it will activated on summer transfer window later and if i am not mistaken release clause price is approximately 60 millions so those who want to bought him should be pay according to his release clause price and we all know Barcelona has facing financial problem in the last several season and 60 millions is huge money for them so obviously Barcelona have no money to bought Bernardo Silva and i think this transfer possibly will not gonna happend

It's actually true that Barcelona wanted to sign him last summer transfer but was unable to complete it due to financial troubles, but as of now, I really do think he is now totally out of their reach because now that he has extended his contract, even though it's just a two year contract, I actually don't think Barcelona have the financial power to make this deal happen, remember that they rely more on free transfer last summer for them to be able to bring in new faces into the team, so if this financial mess they are in right now hasn't been addressed, they will definitely struggle to bring in the desired quality of players needed by the manager.

Lastly, the hierarchy of Barcelona needs to sort this financial troubles they are going through very fast because they are actually going to the point whereby they can't compete against the bigger the boys again if they continue like this, because they can't be depending on players that are surplus to requirements in most of the top teams for survival, players that are bench wormers in their previous club will now be a regular starter at Barcelona, is really not good for a team as big as Barcelona.

Ive been hearing about situations where someone buys a coin for a certain rate and not quite long after,  the said coin drops in value, or  someone sells his coin for a certain rate and then it appreciates just after.
What's your take on this? Given the period we're in is it buy time or sell time?
The phenomenon you want to discuss here is actually a normal phenomenon, just because you sell doesn't mean the price of the Bitcoin or altcoin you bought has changed, these are all normal conditions in the market and getting the best time to buy is actually very difficult, you have to use a strategy in buying or selling, the point is to prevent you from doing stupid things like selling at a loss or buying under FOMO conditions, the DCA strategy is a good one imo.

If you hold Bitcoin intensively, you can buy Bitcoin anytime, anywhere. Many people make many types of investments, short-term placements and long-term investments, long-term investments are made by many for 10 to 15 years. So I think Bitcoin is only suitable for long term holding, and other coins are not suitable.
Bitcoin is also very good to use for short terms, it's just that you have to have good timing when trading, the slightest mistake will only make you lose, again as i said above, the DCA method and buy the dip is a good strategy for long term investment in bitcoin.


And then there is need timing the market that's why is good to use the best strategy to accumulate more Bitcoin by using the DCA strategy which helps you purchase Bitcoin at different interval at a fix time probably weekly or monthly so you won't have a high blood pressure by timing the market.

I actually don't get you clearly, but if am correct, you meant that their is a need in timing the market, before you make a purchase of Bitcoin, but to me, I actually think otherwise, to me it's a waste of time, because that's what traders do, not investors like us, that is only thinking long term, because as long as it's Bitcoin investment, in other to be successful, you need to be long term holder.

 I know that the temptations of cashing out your profit during the bull run will be very tempting no doubt, but a good hold will keep on holding till his or her investment goal is met, but our major focus right now should be how much quantity of Bitcoin can we have in our possession, that's why we should be more committed in the DCAing, so as not to be left behind in building generational wealth.

Would I spend 1,000,000 on that sign no I would not.

Even If I was stupid rich (say 100,000 btc).
There are actions we just wanna carry out just to massage our ego in as much as the money is there to spend. It wouldn't necessarily seem like a waste to you by then because to you at that very moment it's like doing what many people can't even afford to do.

There are places I said to myself 10 years back I won't visit no matter the money I was going to make because at that time I previewed it to be a waste or something stupid to do with money. But guess what today! I visit a few of those places like thrice in a year now just because of the momentary feeling that comes with been there.

Money has a way of twisting our vibes, particularly too much money. Grin We just have to be patient till we have it in that bastard amount to know what we will do and what we won't do.



You are actually right bro, when I saw this your post I just smiles because as humans that we are, we sometimes find ourselves doing things we never thought of doing in the past, their is a saying about what you just said in this your post in my locality, which we most times have a good laugh at, which is;  a poor man will say that he doesn't like 🍻 beer because it's too bitter,  though it sounds funny but that's the reality of someone without money,  the rich thinks differently compared to the poor, they mostly do things they feels like an average person can't do, let them just be among the very few people that have the ability to do it, to them it's a plus to their name, while to a common man, it's just a waste of money.

Their was once a time I said that buying an iphone is a total waste of money, due to the fact that it was too expensive, and an Android is cheaper and it can give me all in need in a phone, and financially then, I wasn't that stable, but look at me today, I bought the latest iphone without even considering how costly it is because the money is available, so just as lida93 had already said, till we have money in bastard amount, we actually wouldn't know what we can do and what we can't do.

Even though I am not a Real Madrid fan, I admit that Real Madrid is the main favorite to win the Champions League title this season. It is certainly not certain that Real Madrid will be able to beat Bayern Munich in the semi-finals, but Real Madrid's chances are very high considering the experience and solid performance of its team.

Bayern Munich can basically be considered a team that can also threaten Real Madrid to fail to qualify for the final. However, as a La Liga fan, I know the strength of Real Madrid and that is an advantage that Bayern Munich does not have. Real Madrid is a team that has big ambition to win titles in all competitions, they are a team that never gives up even if they are behind in a match. However, there is no reason to underestimate Bayern Munich because both teams have classy players who can help their teams to qualify for the final.

Real Madrid is currently skyrocketing with a good performance that can make them a strong team. Until their potential to win the title in my opinion is quite large. Maybe with their match that will take place against Bayer Munich, there is a possibility that they can have difficulties, because Bayern Munich itself is a strong team too, but even so, considering Bayern's current performance is not good, I think Real Madrid can take advantage of this opportunity, I think Real Madrid can win in their match against Bayern Munich.

 Although it is true that Real Madrid has a good and strong performance, but that does not rule out the possibility that Bayern Munich can beat them in the match later. because even though Bayern's current performance is not good, it does not mean they will not play well, only I think Real Madrid has more confidence to be able to win the match that will take place later.

You actually right now doubt, real madrid are the clear favourite to win this one here, but you need to understand that this is football, no team is am alien, they are beatable, their major downfall would be if they think they can just roll away Bayern Munich easily as the media made it looks like, it's a champions league semi final, so it's will definitely going to be a very bad idea if Bayern Munich is underated, let's not forget that Bayern Munich is experience and also have the same rich history in the uefa champions league as real madrid, as a neutral fan that I am, I will definitely just go out and enjoy the game with a bottle of beer, because I know that it's will definitely going to be a fascinating encounter between them.
