1001  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: TRON is bad coin, here is why on: July 30, 2023, 08:39:43 AM
Maybe you know already: we have good coin and we have bad coin. While Bitcoin is very good coin, TRON is bad coin and here is why:

- TRON didn't achieve any additional technological advance compared to existing coin
- TRON is only launched because Justin Sun hates Vitalik Buterin and Ethereum
- Justin Sun failed to compete against Ethereum. Ethereum is much better, has much better technology and better developers
- Justin Sun just SHILLS his shitcoin TRON instead of implementing a better technology

Everyone should know, how fraudulent TRON really is.
Avoid bad coin like TRON.

You are making a baseless argument and after posting this, Trx price will remain the same from today and the next days to come except if bitcoin price fall which is normal general thing to expect in the crypto market, and I think some few months back, Justin Sun has step down as the CEO of Tron, it is now under the order of another person when he assume one potical appointment, but he is still part of the foundational Tron ecosystem, as such you should expect less from him.

When Ethereum was launched, there were some people and investors back then that were making comparism with the bitcoin and today bitcoin has proven to be a unique blockchain and so does Ethereum and Tron, they are two seperate entities. If they have been fraudalent chain as you said, people might have use it because I think it is one of the most use blockchain for USDT transactions because of the cheap fees, so take a breath and rest.

Before this year 2023, people were launching projects with whitepaper, roadmap and promote those projects with Their team. Memecoins were few but this year, situation is changed. Everybody is busy launching memecoins, no whitepaper, no roadmap. 8 projects are memecoin out of 10 projects.
 It seems, this year will be full of memecoins. What do you think? Why memecoin launching is increasing so much in this year?

There is nothing spectacular about memecoins, they are just another phase of ICO time when everyone with coding knowledge of javascript and Evm, which were looming in Ethereum chain back then, people loves to move from where there is money to another and that is what 100% meme coins are all about, check all of them that has been launch over the last year and early 2021, it is only doge and Shiba that is still relevant till today and I think Shiba isn't as hot as before.

The reason why there has not been reduction on the launch of meme coins is because there has not been another trends investors can make money from, they will stay here and continue to launch worthless project without any use case than do something tangible, be looking out on halving I'm very positive about new trend and watch how they move and abandon all the meme coins just how they abandoned ICO projects in the past.
1003  Economy / Economics / Re: The gloomy light called subsidy. on: July 29, 2023, 07:24:32 PM
There are lots of things as citizens that we've enjoyed especially when it comes to essential things that government of our various countries have subsidize.
For some countries, government has helped in subsidizing food production, electricity, education,  transportation, health care services etc.
This subsidy goes ahead in reducing financial burden on the citizens.

 for some it is one way the government has helped them directly, because government gives them grants to support their businesses.
So I ask, what will happen if the government remove subsidy from some of the essential things that they helped citizens to subsidize, for example, fuel, electricity, food production, health care services etc.

Because I leave in a country, where the subsidy for PMS(petrol) has been removed, and almost immediately, the citizens are feeling the effect of the petrol subsidy removal.
The shocker this singler act has sent to the  spine of the economy of my country is second to none.
At this point, I've realised that, subsidy is one gloomy light that shouldn't be dimmed further  by any government.
Cause what other better ways can the citizens benefit from her government if subsidy is taken off from those essentials that directly touch the standard of living of the citizens.

What do you think? Is government removal of subsidy from essentials products, services at this period of economic hardship people are facing the best policy a  government can embark on in the process of building her dwindling economy?

Somethings are left not subsidized for some countries, look at UK and US for example, they either make something free for the people such as the health care and other basic amenities but not important product that will significantly pivot the economy when they no longer have the capacity to support it. Take for instance the Nigerian government and the new policy of no subsidized PMS, it has affected everyone becuase ever since beginning, corruption has eating government officials, they rather steal the allocated subsidized money than see it put into used and even with the money, the demand is high and supply is low and the new government decide to end the funding.

Google how Nigerians are trying to adjust with the new economy, you will be shock how people are suffering because fuel has literally affected everything in the country and PMS has returned to international price and since the marketers depends on foreign currency to export PMS in the country, it has affect the Foriegn exchange because the demand for $$ has deprreciated the price of Naira in the international market and as a result, every commodity in the country is affected.

The little lesson I learned from this subsidy is this, once people are use to a subsidized product price, it will be difficult to adjust to the unsubsidized rate, because the people will suffer for it; If the government can't forever subsidize price of goods, commodities, they shouldn't start it in the first place.
1004  Economy / Economics / Re: Population: Economic strength or weakness on: July 29, 2023, 07:06:03 PM
A close look at this situation shows that many of these overpopulated nations mostly in Africa and Asia are underdeveloped. While these underpopulated nations are economically buoyant. I think the reason for the poverty of these developing nations is not the population but bad governance and the inability to maximize and distribute available resources equally.  We cannot deny the fact that these overpopulated nations are economically important to these developed nations in terms of human resources. And they contribute immensely to the development of these first-world nations in terms of cheap labour.

How do you think these developed nations will fill vacancies in their nations and get cheap labor if the population of these developing nations is reduced?

Statistics says the first 3 most populated countries of the world are China, India and then follow by United State and yet if we are to consider the development of those countries, they are biggest among the dominants, and by the numbers, they are developed countries that are doing fine; The first african country among the largest populated country is Nigeria and by resources, they are bless just that corruption has eaten them badly which has affected their devlopment including me that is typing, African countries are bless.

One of the main cause of over population is religion, illetracy and ignorance, people with religious believe will tell you that they will practice what they believe and that is why over population will be difficult to control, even those that don't practice religion are not taking measures but I think as inflation is hitting everyone and price of goods are increasing, it is becoming difficult for them to maintain 3 square meal, they don't have choice than to maintain because the poor are the major problem of this over population.
1005  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is AI in crypto a game-changer or just another hype? on: July 29, 2023, 06:39:43 PM
In the current crypto landscape, we're witnessing an influx of AI-powered projects. However, it's crucial to remain skeptical as many of these projects lack solid evidence to support their claims of being AI-driven. It appears that some are merely trying to create hype to sell their tokens without substantial technological backing.

On the other hand, certain CEXs are incorporating AI into their trading bots, particularly for grid trading. They assert that this move allows beginners to take advantage of trading strategies without needing extensive expertise in the field.

For instance, Bitget has integrated AI into its grid trading system, and it's likely that other exchanges are exploring similar paths. But the big question remains: Will these AI implementations truly deliver on their promises or will they become obsolete in the future, dismissed as mere trash? As a crypto enthusiast, it's crucial to keep a watchful eye on the advancements and critically assess the real value that AI brings to the crypto space.

I wish we will all say the truth one day, just that truth for once but hype and decieveness will not allow us to say the truth because that is basically where some people take profits from, they love to take advantage of new traders and ignore the most important aspect which is orientation, AI is an innovation, it is here to stay either with crypto or without crypto its just a unique technology that have capture attention of many and just like every other tech there, the hype is still there.

As the name implies it is an Artificial intelligence tech, I don't think here is need for them to be launching worthless token up and down, they don't worth it and just like many other shitcoins, after a while they become abandon, the whale that bought earlier will take their profits and move to the next hype project and that scam continues in that manner, and progressively the coin and token becomes abandon without any development.

Meme era comes to my mind, majority of crypto ethusiast are just gullible money wasters running from one project to another, people wasted so much money of Shiba and the rise of Defi when yearn finance were all over the internet. Don't worry, very soon another hype will soon emerge and they will sheeply invested and waste money without any profit for 365 days, isn't that shameful!  Cry

Your image was not visible, I had to follow the link and copy the Full BBcode so that other users can see what you're talking about. You opened a marging trade and if you look at your PNL, you already had $3.756 lost which is equivalent to 1.12% of your asset which means the price has go below the amount you bought optimism(OP) because you borrow. It is simple to close, put the total amount of OP you have in your balance and sell/short OP and the USDT you borrowed will be automatically returned to kucoin and your balance will be returned in USDT.

Next time, becareful about Margin trading because you can see that your Liquidation is around $0.925, if it was a highly volatile token, you can lose everything within a blink of an eye, you need to learn basic of trading before you even try Margin because of the risk involve.

Brazil women's team was in first place in Group F but lost to France women's team today and dropped them to third place. Brazil women's team did not perform very well today, their attack did not work. a 2-1 loss to France dropped them well behind in the group points but most people were betting on the Brazil women's side today. France conceded an early goal to Brazil but then equalized when the Brazil women's team attacked. The France women's team then scored a last time goal and the Brazil women's team had no time to retaliate. For which the Brazil women's team unfortunately lost to the France women's team, losing their group table points and changing position.


Two great countries with experienced players I must say, they both put in some great skills in the field and the two team became equal but at some point, Brazil attacks was not amount to any opportunity talk more of converting it to goals and now they have droped from being early bird of winning their first group match to losing the second match but historically France has always been ahead of Brazil in every match but if Jamaica team has been stubborn goats, they draw their first match against France, if Brazil should mistakenly draw match with Jamaica, then they are done with this turnament.

However, if Brazil reinforce their defensive midfielders and work on their attackers, it will be sleepry match for them because I believe in that group stage, if France comes first, Brazil ouht to have come a second place, they have unmatched up street football teams and most of greatest football of all time comes from that region.

Today in the friendly match between Manchester United and Real Madrid in the second half of the game when Harry Magarive came to the field the fans hooed Harry Maguire for his bad and poor performance in the previous games, I think it's the time for Harry Maguire to leave Manchester United.

https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/harry-maguire-booed-man-utd-30564850

The fans will have to deal with Maguire; If prior to the tranfer and there was no manipulaton, wrong deception and fake hype and PR, no way Manchester United will buy Maguire for a transfer fee of $100m with duration of 7 years and will end up like this, that man is going through a lot and this disappointment and name calling will not help him any further, they should let him be and focus on his carreer, if there is buyer, that's fine and if there is none, then Mancester United should continue to use him or bench him when necessary.

I don't even there is something wrong in making him a susbstitute from other players, it is a friendly match and I think all the players were all giving a fair moments to enjoy the show rather than just sitting down. I believe is still in Real Madrid, they will give the chance t swing that his lazy legs instead of warming the bench when the real players are on the field struggling to make name for the club, they should be happy that Maguire is even playing and making the club go viral after the weekly wages.  Grin

Disappointed with the outcome from Australia vs Nigeria match yesterday. I was hoping that Australia would win, but despite opening the scoring, they went down with a margin of 2-3. BTW, African teams in general have performed poorly so far. Nigeria is topping the Group B points table, while the other African teams (Zambia, Morocco.etc) have failed to get a single point till now. South Africa did well to hold Argentina to a draw, but qualifying to the next stage would be tough for them. Right now they are behind Sweden and Italy in Group G.

Ausralia could have ended in 1-3 against Super Falcons of Nigeria if not for the 90+ minutes extra time, Super falcons defensive midfield became stronger after they lead Australia with extra goals in the early second half but what were you expecting from super falcons that made you have less expectation in Nigeria players, you should track back their earlier matches from Feb to date, you will understand that Nigeria is different from other African countries, we Oshoala that is representing Nigeria and she is one the best Barcelona ever had, she was among the players thats scored yesterday.

To be clear, African countries are not the only ones that are underperforming in group stages, Argentina are in groupG and they will be going home after the group stage, Vietnam is also from South America and they will be going home, Ireland also has zero attempt in goals, and Norway will all be heading home after this group stage.

Things we must do to stop gambling according to experts:
Quote
1. Recognize the problem
2. Remove the stigma
3. Confide in a love one
4. Seek professional health
5. Adjust as needed
Source: https://www.forbes.com/health/mind/how-to-stop-gambling-expert-advice/

Now, if you still want to gamble but you don't want to become addicted to it, one of the things you should do in my opinion is:

1. Only set aside an amount of money that you will use to gamble in a casino.
2. Don't think that you will gamble to make money, because if you do that, you will surely have a problem later.
3. Just spend a few hours staying in a casino to gamble so you can avoid what you don't realize is wasting time that you should be spending on important things instead of gambling.

Gambling is full of different moments but when you play by the basic principle of its safety, you will go far, you will last long because your winning moments will be more than the times you will lose in gambling, you mentioned some but some of them are not even needed, gambling doesn't habe a straight rule just the basic ones we can practice to stay safe in order to avoid money and don't gamble to the point we make wrong decisions that may end up in addiction and debt.

Lets go over your list from beginning to the end; Recognizing the problem will help any gambler that is having hard time in gambling, I will rather confide in a buddy and friend than a love ones because they will be emotional towards decision making and will likely tell you to quit especially if the hate gambling, seeking a professional health is another cost, I think a friendly help is enough except for chronic gambler. Every gambler need adjustment when needed.

Your last 3 point is also helpful but whether you think about making money in gambling or not, your decision and choice depends on what you play, if you win big, you likely make money and if you lose, you wouldn't make anything, there is no way out of this and lastly, to avoid addiction, staying away from casino is really helpful to the health.

Inter Milan craves Lukaku, and Chelsea is willing to sell him if the bidding clubs accept their terms and price. Of course, Lukaku is an amazing striker with stellar performances, but he has yet to enhance his performance at Stamford Bridge. Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri admires Romelu Lukaku and hopes to lure him to Allianz Stadium this summer. The Belgium international is yet to make a decision; all he wants to know is that he is not making the wrong decision if he joins the wrong team. Juventus are possibly leading in the race to bring Lukaku over.
Not being able to improve his performance at Stamford Bridge was also not a fatal mistake for Romelu Lukaku, because maybe he just didn't fit the players at Chelsea so his performance didn't get any improvement, but everyone saw how he performed at Inter Milan last season so that still inviting intentions for Inter Milan to have him next season, even though Juventus are also starting to take advantage of the current situation to bring Romelu Lukaku to the Allianz Stadium. Let's hope Lukaku doesn't make a decision that will cost him next season.

I don't understand why Romeru Lukaku has become a contravercial player in the transfer market, even Mpabe is not this talk the way Lukaku is been discuss maybe it has to do with perfomance off Chelsea while contributing nothing to Chelsea so far, but if we look at it carefully, a single tree doesn't make a forest, its combination of different trees and shrubs that made that ecosystem, similar thing to Lukaku and Inter performance, he enjoy that team than Chelsea because of the contribution of other players.

If I am Lukaku, I will leave Inter because of the disrepectful from the fans and the top executive within the club and neither will I return to Chelsea, it will give him more peace of career and more life this two club. Juventus will do him more good than Chelsea or Inter, but better he check if Juventus has settled their issues with FIFA regarding corruption that lead them to point deduction in the last season.

People don't have statistics to play gamble and that is why some of the gambling enthusiasm do experience (shege in gambling... meaning much loses in a gambling) so it's good for gamblers to know a specific amount that should go out in their wallet weekly or monthly.

When you check the statistics of who is on constant gambling of different kind of gambling either casino, poker game and other gambling games, should check the funds that goes out of them monthly because of gambling and they funds they received in a month and annually in gambling if they are of the same amount.

If we planned our gambling bet we should not be going crazy after when we have not meet up our target in gambling, what i expected every gambler is to make table of how much should be spend in gambling and how much should go investment, because money we loses in gambling continuously if we gather it together it will sum up to start a little business. I'm say play gamble with experience, don't use all you have for casino gambling

If gambling has a manual, I do believe casino and betting website would all close down but because Satoshi won a lottery doesn't mean the same with happen to Craig-the-Lier, Grin this is how gambling behave as it changes, if you observe very well in betting, when a gambler win a pattern, they rarely occur again and even if they do, it doesn't have the same chances and when casinos and betting platforms notice, they switched it up and then people who came last to win using the same pattern will give back to the money casino have lost to the player.

Casino and gambling don't make their statistics public, you rarely see their wallet and when they do, its only their Bitcoin transaction you see, they don't display amount that comes into casino and goes ou because Fiat don't have an explorer that you can use to check this statistics, this cannot be use as a tool IMo.

However, every gambler need planning, they need to measure the risk of the outcome of the match before they push in their money to play any bet, because a gambler is winning big amount of money doesn't mean you have to increase the money for staking/wager bet, you don't know how financially stable other gamblers are, and moreover you can't say specifically the source of their capital.

It's indeed a upset for the Australian women team who is ranked 10th in FIFA ranking got defeated by a well determined Nigerian side ranked 40th, the Australian took most of the possessions and shot on target, infact the Nigerian women couldn't register any shot on goal in the first 40 minutes of first half yet they surmount every challenges and secure a win thus secured a 3 maximum points to lead their group, the co-host women will have an uphill task in defeating the Canadian side in their last group match to stand a chance of qualifying for the round of 16, while the Nigerian should have an easy match against winless Republic of Ireland who is yet to secure a point.

It's nothing personal bro, that's football and that's why it's entertaining. The least team you less expect to do wonders might surprised you because determination changes and also luck do shine on teams sometimes, football is that way but I think today was a bit of hardwork and team work. I think after this tournament, Fifa will have to do a review on that their list because Nigerian women don't need to stay in that 40th place, they have demonstrated and representsed with golden heart.

What is surprising about the match is that they struggle and keep the fight to equalized at ending of the first half and they added another goal in the second half and the most fascinating thing is that Oshoala made an incredible contribution on his substitution that gave Nigeria 3 goals to 1 ahead of Australia, it was a great contribution to be honest to become the first African woman to score in 3 goals in the world cup, they need to just win their next match to further to round of 16 place.

By the way, was the extra minutes of 10 minute a regular time that was supposed to be added in the last minute, the match was not a final match, even if it was a final match, it wouldn't be this long because they weren't playing draw on the score sheet but we won anyways.  Undecided

Pep Guardiola still wants Kyle Walker to stay at Manchester City for the next few seasons, that's because Kyle Walker is a special player for them. Kyle Walker's performance in the last few seasons has really made Manchester City good enough both in defense and in building attack. The speed that Kyle Walker has has helped Manchester City's defense to be stronger, especially in duels and cutting off opponent's passes. He is a strong figure for opposing wingers, so that is why Pep Guardiola really wants Kyle Walker to stay.

In the end Pep Guardiola probably couldn't do much for Kyle Walker other than speak for him and convince him to stay. Pep will still make Kyle Walker a major player next season, obviously he will be in his XI line up next season.

Pep Guardiola specifically said it and clearly that "Kyle Walker is an irreplaceable player", meaning Manchester City will want to keep him at any cost, some players are just important for the club, they don't put them among available players to price on unless the player want to live the club which they don't have power or control over but personally, I wish he stayed In Manchester city for now because they are still in form, there is more trophies than can be achieved here in Etihad.

There is nothing great like having a good guy in your team, Kyle is a very great defender that knows when to protect his defensive area, this is why Bayern are pushing to have him so they can develop their defensive midfield but considering his age again, I think he has played enough in Etihad, he has never played for Germany before and if that is his choice, so be it.

1015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Deposit limits on: July 27, 2023, 08:16:30 PM
This is just an evidence that their is nothing called deposit limit. Assuming you set it to 7 or 30 days and you set it to $100. Once you bet and lose the $100, you can wait for 24 hours to increase it above $100.

Without discipline yourself, you will increase the limit and gamble more. I have been into gambling for many years, this is one of the problem I have faced before.

But for people that gamble daily, setting a daily limit can be helpful. It is the only one that is useful.

I am not sure if you know about deactivation of account options in online betting sites, this also helps you relax mind and soul when you think you need a break from gambling entirely, it helps gambler get rest and think and once yiu deactivate an account, it can not be accessed again until that time has elapse as agreed on the time that was chosen by the bettor. I think it really cool option to mitigate loss anytime a player needed a rest to get back stronger especially when losing continuesly and simultaneously.

However, I have check senerio and where this option might comes as disadvantage, if you have a deposit limit of $100 and you lose everything and then all of a sudden, you saw a game that you know that is assured, I mean even a newbie could make that simple decision but to deposit money becomes an issue, it will be painful to lose that opportunity. I think every gambling setting has its own advantages and disadvantages.
1016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: July 26, 2023, 03:22:47 PM
While it would be still be classified as a friendly, it would be interesting to watch as I think both clubs may very well bring out some/all of their big guns in order to win the game.
The statistics on their 5 last games played showed Barcelona winning 4 matches of the 5. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have second guessed Barcelona to go ahead and win the upcoming friendly game but Arsenal showed a lot of spirit last season and also with their new signings, they’re now a force to reckon with. It would surely be interesting to see who would come out on top in this friendly.

Arsenal want to perform well above their last year's performance this year. The expectations of Arteta's students are to finish the Premier League as champions. I hope they can do it but they have to beat a tough team like Manchester City. They should continue the good performance from last year until the end of the year. If they play against Barcelona, ​​I have no doubt that the match will be of good quality. Both teams are very good.

Arteta may look underated but trust me, he has work with Guardiola before and been a partner, he knows him better and he must have gotten some his strategy before coming to Arsenal, and that is why if yu observe Arsenal match in early 2022, the goals between Arsenal and Manchester City is between 1 goal to nill and in addition to the statistics, you will found out that Arsenal does has more ball possession than Manchester City, the only reason for the goals are always bad Midfielders and defenders but I believe that will be sort out this season.

My problem with Manchester City is there has never been a season they don't dominate the Premier League, even if they don't make it to the Champions League final, they always find away to dominate Premier league in first or second place and no team in England that has been able to neutralized them so far but who knows if Arsenal previous season was a testing phase, they may do more than what they play last season and to accomplish that, I will take the state of Declan Rice as he belive that Gunners are on the right track to win the Premier League once again.

Combination of new signings and old players who still have contracts Arsenal aren't really bad but I think there is room for improvement, as long as the talent is there, blending wouldn't be hard because if you look at how Arteta handle 2022 and went well, even 2023 will be super with time when the season kick start.

1017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: July 26, 2023, 01:33:38 PM
I was happy about the tittle won by Manchester City, they performed well and they really deserved the win, but I was just disappointed in Arsenal, because I didn’t know their performance is going to drop and they will start performing poorly when they were having just few matches left to go, Arsenal lose and draw the matches which they are suppose to have won which cost them not winning the league. Manchester City performed well in all the leagues they participated in last season because pep Guardiola tried his best for Manchester City last season and they won wan three leagues last season which is the FA cup, premier league and the champions league, don’t be surprised that Pep Guardiola will also want to repeat the same thing next season.
For Arsenal it's a tough test. Last season they haven't felt a moment like this one. Under the circumstances of a busy schedule in some competitions. So there should be an adjustment, and that has passed Arsenal in a few seasons. So Arteta must be ready to rotate players. Maybe he will fight a lot of fatigue and injury. But perhaps the selection of young players is part of the strategy for this season. With this strategy, maybe their stamina and strength are still good enough to fight with a busy schedule.
Arsenal will want to complete a season injury free. Last season we saw them get off to a great start only to have a chance of winning the Premier League due to injury problems and eventually being beaten down by injuries. Arsenal are certainly gearing up for a new season. If there is no injury problem in the team then this team will definitely do well in Premier League and Champions League. Since injuries are their main problem, the players must perform with maximum caution because when every player in the team is injury free, the team performance will be better.

Gabriel Jesus's knee injury, which kept him out for the entirety of last season and caused him to miss 15 games, was one of the factors that led to Arsenal's poor performance before the winter break when they lost first place in the standings to Manchester City. That is something I don't want to see happen again because Nketiah did a great job representing us, but it also changed how forwards became familiar with Arsenal games. I want to see the entire package that he brought from Manchester City, just how he began in the first half of the 2022 season.

Further more, I'm impress with Arsenal friendly match they have played which the first two were against outside Premier League teams but the fact that they couldn't beat Manchester United surprise, despite all the single shot on target they had, not a goal from them, no conversion. I wonder how prepare they are including Declan opstimism. It will be interesting to see their Arsenal match against Barcelona and Manchester City, then I will know if Arsenal is prepared to win the Champions League or not.

My question is this, if you were given 5 Bitcoins to never gamble again for the rest of your life, will you take it? Considering that first you will already be rich or the prospect of getting rich is high from it. And also if you play your cards right by investing the 5 Bitcoin properly, it could also mean generational wealth. Or will you say that 5 Bitcoins can't match the thrill and pleasure that comes from gambling, be it at a physical casino or an online casino.

I wish though but this seems very far from reality, not impress.Huh The money sounds good but it is not even upto a million to begin, I'm not a millionaire and it will only help my life for a short term; What happen after that, I will go back to where I crawl out from. However, If I'm giving such kind of money, I will hold and continue my gambling, it should not be used for gambling but I will see it as an investment, taking from it to gamble is like 50:50 and if luck doesn't shine on you, you will lose everything and you will have to go back to square nothing, back to where you started again.

But I thought gambling is a reward for passion, entertainment and fun, why will anyone give you money to stop gambling when I know that it's like I'm depriving myself the little fun I'm used to, why not dash the money for investment maybe with a condition not to use the money to gamble but as an investment, it is not like even when you don't gamble again, the money will be there forever to be able to help you out. If it comes to a stage when they will have to tell me that I needed to quit gambling when giving something, then I need to check myself that something is wrong with me.

But it is only for one season. If Al-Hilal had an offer for like 3 years or more for Mbappe then he would have rejected the offer most probably. But it isn't like that. You know Mbappe will have to wait for the end of this season to join Real Madrid. Because Real Madrid don't intend to pay a transfer fee now. They are waiting for the time they can sign him without a fee. This means Mbappe can join Real Madrid by next summer.

In this time period I don't think he should choose to stay at PSG while he can earn this much money.
Al-Hilal know full well that Mbappé would never accept a three to four year offer so they offered such a huge sum for just a one year deal. Al-Hilal want to see Mbappe at their club, even if only for one season, which is why he has made such a big offer. When Messi left PSG, the club management tried hard to take Messi to their club, but Messi did not agree to any of their offers and went directly to an American club. That is why Al-Hilal is trying to take the most valuable star in the world after failing to take Messi to the club. The offer Mbappe has been offered Mbappe must accept the offer as he has only been offered for one season.

Al-Hilal are very smart, offering Mbape such a large sum of money from PSG is the only thing they needed to shake him out of the current contract because a year contract with Al-Hilal will bring back that money, he is young star that and with few celebration and grand entry to the club, the club will make back the money and they will equally have big win from their matches, even when they have not signed good players, they play great matches and win, they will drag first place from Al-Nasr no matter what the circumstances that comes their way.

However, Mbape might have been PSG spoilt pupet and now becomes expensive especially from his perfomance in the last World Cup, he will not go to Al-Hilal because he is still young and he need to win more trophies to maintain a streak in his carreer, going to Saudi Arabia is one year slowing him down to accomplish that, and hence why I think that will be an impossible future contract that will ever happen. Real Madrid is still the only reasonable club he need right now to accomplish that dream, that is if they have the means to buy him.

Messi reject Al-Hilal because two smart people cannot co-exist in a habitat. Al-Hilal gave Messi all he need at once but Messi chosed the now and the future contract, the deal was worth, I mean you co-own a stake in a club is a big endorsement and seeing how he is reviving back MLS to the world is another chance to gather more trophies, just their yester match with Atlanta, they want to kill everyone with high image resolutions of Messi goals and assist.

There are wallets that are custodial which people can use for lightning network. Everything the person needs is to download the wallet do the backup and generate an invoice to receive payment.

I have read before that not your node not your coin. There are ways you can be able to run your own lightning node to use lightning payment. Connecting to other nodes and allow people to open channels with you. This will help you in having privacy.

On Electrum wallet, you do not need to have your own node but open a channel directly. It is not custodial lightning that you will just download a wallet, do backup and generate invoice. You have to open a channel. The channels that depend on lightning nodes just like light client wallets depend on full nodes.

If I am using Electrum for lightning payment, is it your coin? The reason I asked is because they said not your node not your coin. I want to know how true it is.

You need to understand that there are wallets that are custodial and Non-custodial wallets. Basically, from the inception of Bitcoin wallet, if you are not using a Non-custodial wallet, you don't own the bitcoin because you don't have the keys and using any feature like Lightening network is the same as not your node, not your coin as the custodial companies run everything for you from your private keys and the node you are using to route payments.

ELectrum wallet is a non-custodial wallet, it doesn't have the narrative of not your coin, not your node but there are things you could mix up when you don't run your own node while using electrum wallet most especially how you interact with the node to route your payment, you have to depend on a third party every time to route your payments.



This table is a self explanatory of the relationship between Custodial wallet and Non-custodial wallet, running a full node and also depending on a third party node to route a payment. If you want to enjoyed LN to the fullest, the best is to run your own node, you can still use Electrum wallet if you chosed to but you will have to run a node independently
