There are many factors that made Pep Guardiola leave Barcelona in the past.
The most likely problem is about the team's finances or internal problems that are not conducive. I couldn't imagine the same thing he would do at Manchester City after he broke such an important record for that team.

Manchester City have good financial strength to give Pep Guardiola the comfort to be able to stay longer. I wouldn't think Pep Guardiola would leave Manchester City, but it could happen in the future when he has good reasons to leave.
When Pep Guardiola left Barcelona they didn't have financial problems, neither did he leave because of Internal problems, Pep Guardiola left Barcelona after 4 years out of his own personal decision and his desire to take a break from football, after sometime he returned to the dugout with Bayern Munich and stayed for 3 years, before he ended up at Manchester City.

Having said that, Pep has stayed longer at City than he did at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, and i think it is because of the immense support that he has received from the City hierarchy all this years, this has made him love the club so much and it has become difficult for him to leave. Pep will definitely leave City someday, but i don't think it is anytime soon.

Tottenham are not taking Harry Kane leaving the club well at all. Tottenham may want Harry Kane to stay at their club long-term but there have been rumors of Harry Kane leaving the club since last season. At the moment Harry wants to leave Tottenham so if he is forced now then the management will keep him at Tottenham against his will.
Harry Kane allures interest from big clubs every summer, but Spurs are always reluctant to negotiate and even if they decide to, they'll place an astronomical transfer fee for him, one that most clubs would be unwilling to pay. The thing is, i don't know if Kane is ready to leave Spurs, if he is, then he has to force his way out of the club, it is basically obvious that he cannot leave Spurs without forcing his way out, and Daniel Levy would always be reluctant to negotiate with clubs that are interested in Harry Kane.

Just getting  a secure wallet possibly a hard ware wallet and avoiding clicking on unfamiliar and every links that pops up  on our device will do the tricks than spending money trying to enroll on a cyber security course.
It shouldn't even be possible to click on links with the device that hodls your Bitcoin, because that device should be offline. Online wallets are risky and can be attacked easily, a hardware wallet or a software wallet created offline is the wallet that should be used to hodl Bitcoins that one cannot afford to lose.

Having said that, a Cybersecurity course might not be necessary, one can learn all they need to know about how to secure their Bitcoin in online forums like Bitcointalk and by reading articles about Bitcoin security online.

Have fewer wallets.
Sometimes it is inevitable to have many wallets, especially when you are using Bitcoin and Altcoins; and also for privacy and security reasons.
Consider that some of the wallets should be multisig.
Have fewer backups.
Multisignature wallets do not reduce the backups or make it fewer, instead it increases it. Let's say you have just one wallet, but it is a 2-of-3 multisignature wallet, you will need to back up three seed phrases and three master public keys, which invariably increases the backups.

After Harry Maguire will not captain Manchester United next season, now the main captain position will be held by Bruno Fernandes. I think Bruno Fernandes is the right player for this role and I hope he can be a confidant for his teammates on the pitch. Maybe in discussions with the referees he is very good, but when the team is in trouble I don't think he has the soul of a leader in those situations and often the player who can get a squad motivated again is Casemiro. I had thought that Casemiro would be the next main captain for Manchester United because he has a great leadership spirit, but it seems that Erik ten Hag has again appointed the captain of a player who has lasted quite a long time at this club.
Bruno Fernandes moans/complains quite a lot at his own players when things aren't going Manchester United's way, almost as if to pass off the blame to them and exonerate himself as the person giving his best to the team, i have seen him do that many times and i think it is a disgusting habit that leaves a lot to be desired.

I hope Fernandes works on his attitude now that he is captain, if he does not then he isn't a good captain imo. Having said that, i don't know if Maguire intends to remain in United, but if he does then it will confirm the fact that he's not an ambitious player and one that's just contented with being paid, it isn't just about him being stripped off the captaincy role, but the fact that the manager doesn't have him in his plans and he won't be getting any game-time next season, thus he shouldn't be comfortable with that.

I can't possibly think of any positive in letting Xhaka and Partey leave in the same season. If depleting a midfield that almost won the league is not stupidity, I don't know what is. I have said it before, Arsenal should delay that Partey deal till January. You can't be making one step forward two steps backward. Arsenal will be involve in a lot of competition next season, they need every player to be available, Partey Jorginhno and Rice are good players to help them stay ahead in the coming season.
They cannot keep all of them, even if they want to, they have to sell some of their players to make money from them and to get them off their payroll. Arsenal signed Rice for a lot of money so they have to make money from selling players in order to balance their books. Having said that, with the arrival of Rice, playing time for Partey will also be reduced, thus the player himself would wish to go. Overall Arsenal are doing good business in the transfer window this summer and it will help them to be in contention for the EPL next season.

After failing to secure the league title last season as new Rivals Manchester City outplayed them and finished top of the table last season, the club has reacted well by investing hugely to boost the squad this summer. Arsenal now have another chance to compete for the league and every silverware next season. As Kai Harvertz has said that he is looking forward to winning a trophy with Arsenal next season.
TBH Arsenal are now looking like a purposeful club again, i love the manner in which they are going about their transfer business this summer, they are buying like a team that has the ambition of winning the EPL, this kind of mood has been missing around Arsenal for many years, but it was reignited after they came close to winning the league last season.

Having said that, whilst i don't think Arsenal are going to win the EPL next season, i think they are getting closer to winning it, and if they continue with this same drive and vision, they'll be champions again, sooner rather than later.

This one na better news for people wey dey use Binance, i know say Binance get their drawbacks wey mostly concern privacy, but person wey don already register for the platform no suppose bother about that one because them no get privacy again, so i no see any wahala if a Binance customer use the lightning network on the exchange.

E get plenty people wey been dey criticize Binance say dem never add Bitcoin lighning network as part of the services wey dem dey offer, so e good as dem add am, and i believe say now wey Binance don add am, many exchanges go also try add am in the future.

I think Arsenal's main problem last season was their weak bench team. And so if any player is injured then they cannot make a suitable replacement. And because of this, there was a gap in the team. Arsenal's performances lost consistency due to injuries to several players. Their performance is stable.
I don't buy the cheap excuse of lack of squad depth as the reason why Arsenal capitulated, injuries are part of football and it can happen to any player, even if Arsenal had a complete squad all season, City would still have won the league, they have the experience and they know what it takes to win the EPL, this group of Arsenal players barely have that experience and that's why the pressure got to them.

Having said that, what happened to Arsenal last season was a lesson i expect them to learn from, and if they keep on learning and improving, they'll win the league sooner or later. They are making brilliant signings which shows what the club's intentions are, if they stick with Arteta, they'll be Premier League champions soon.

is the ledger can be hacked ?
It is difficult to hack a hardware wallet because it stores keys offline, that's not to say that you can't be hacked if you use a hardware wallet, but it'd have to be as a result of your own folly, or if you buy one that has been tampered with. Let's say you receive a phishing email that deceives you to enter your recovery phrase, if you fall for it, the attackers will steal your assets, and a hardware wallet cannot save you in that situation.

Hardware wallets can also be hacked if the physical device is stolen, but in that case if you have a strong password and passphrase you should be able to move your assets to a new wallet with your recovery phrase before any harm can possibly be done. Having said that, Ledger is a bad choice of a hardware wallet, your recovery phrase should be kept by just you, but Ledger in their new update have made it known that they can extract it and send it to third parties all in the name of spurious security; thus you had better choose another hardware wallet if you have intentions of buying one.

Gundogan will also help Barcelona defend the Spanish League once again. I'm rooting for Barcelona to successfully win the league.
Same goes for Bernado Silva, I would also love to see him leave Manchester City for Barcelona but, I'm not certain he wants to leave Manchester City.
Barcelona did a great job convincing Gundogan to join them. I mean, City just won the treble and Gundogan played a very important role in that, if he had stayed he would definitely be an important player in City for at least another 2 years or more, but he chose a new challenge in Spain and Barcelona and i wish him all the best in his new adventure.

Bernado Silva's future is uncertain for now, we are not sure if he is leaving or staying at the Etihad, Barcelona cannot sign him because of FFP regulation, PSG is also another team that seems interested but they have not sent any official bid to City.

Dis na confam move by GTB. Even though e de one sided (as naira to dollar conversion option never de), e still fit bring benefits like reduction of fake dollars in circulation...
This matter no concern controlling fake dollar in circulation because wetin GTB dey convert na Dollar to Naira, and the transaction they happen online, you go send your dollar to them and dey go give you naira. If you check am well like this how e go take reduce fake dollar in circulation when na Naira dem dey give you and you no go fit send dem fake dollar online.

Complexity: Because of the sensitive nature of seed phrase and storage keeping, some persons are afraid of losing their asset if they mistakenly lost their devices as well as seed phrase. They feel if the have their Bitcoin in exchanges and they forget their password, they can always reset their password and have access to their funds.
It is stupid for one to think that way, what assurance do they have that the exchange is going to keep the assets safer than they can, if they took a few minutes out of their time to research, they'll find out that many exchanges have been hacked and assets were stolen, if exchanges were the safer option, how come many of them get hacked every now and then or they just play around with depositors funds for more profit and lose it.

There's nothing complex about using non-custodial wallets, and people who think it is complex should prolly not use Bitcoin until they understand that it is what makes them their own bank, if exchanges have your keys, they are your bank.

Tuchel also says that Mane is in a difficult situation, since there is very high competition in his position. In the current situation, a possible offer from Al-Nasri with a payment of 25 million a year looks very tempting. It will depend on Mane how ambitious he is, whether he wants to win the Champions League with Bayern or goes to earn money in Saudi Arabia. But on the other hand, if he understands that he may not get a permanent place in the Tuchel team, then it might be better to leave now.
Mane has to understand that he might never be an important player in Bayern Munich, the club might not force him out, but if he decides to stay in Bayern Munich he might become only a makeshift player, and a big player like Mane will never be happy with such a role, he was the best player in Liverpool two years ago, and now to become less important in his new club will be unacceptable.

Mane has struggled with injuries in the last couple of months, and this has affected his form, he should discuss with the manager, and if he no longer has him in his plans, he has to leave, even if it is to the Saudi Pro League, there he'll get all the game-time in the world and so much money too, but he'll lose the spotlight and the thrills of playing in Europe and in the CL.

Since you're talking about investors (those who basically buy Bitcoin and hodl) and not day-traders, i don't think there's a need for any metric, because you can't even predict the market, neither can that metric assist you in predicting it accurately, and as a long term invesor there's no need to try. Thus, since you are buying and hodling, use the DCA strategy to accumulate Bitcoin and hodl for as long as you want, it is the best 'metric' for a long term invesor.

...But all i am saying is, On CEX we still got a chance but on DEXs if things went wrong then we do not have any hope or anything to hold on. Because what's gone is gone.
That's because proper dex work exactly the way Bitcoin does, if you lose your Bitcoin seed phrase or private keys and your funds gets stolen, you cannot get them back, that's part of the responsibilities of being your own bank, making sure you have adequate security so that your assets won't be stolen or lost.
As, recent Centralized (custodial wallet) Atomic wallet hack has effected many users and i was reading on twitter that one person was able to recover his 1 million dollars with the help of some investigator (who is one of the best on twitter).  
Atomic wallet is not a custodial wallet, Atomic wallet is a non-custodial wallet and their users have their seed phrases and their keys. I know nothing about this story of a person recovering their money in Atomic wallet hack, but don't believe any person/investigator who says they can recover your stolen funds (it is a scam).
...Can we do that on DEXs. AFAIK no, we can not do that because there is no team to handle your assets. Only you are the one to handle you assets.
Dex have mediation and arbitration team, but cases rarely get to them because it is easy for trading partners to trade peer to peer without running into any problem that requires settling.

So far the best and most luxurious transfer topic for Premier League clubs is Arsenal. They seem ready to build a super team like this to challenge Manchester City this season.
I think Arteta and Arsenal are going to win the EPL soon, it might not happen next season; but i think they are getting closer to finally becoming EPL champions once again, after a very long time. They should have done it last season, but City were unbelievable, as they mostly are every season, i expect City to win the EPL again next season, but if Arsenal continue to appear in the picture regularly, they'd win it soon. I am very impressed with Arteta and the confidence he has, he played a vital role in Declan Rice joining Arsenal, players are beginning to believe in his Arsenal project, and their success is coming soon.

If i were Harry Kane, i would choose Bayern Munich; great team, great fit; and a beautiful culture there in Germany. What will Harry Kane do?
If i were Harry Kane I'd force a move to Manchester United, hell, no way i would leave England for Germany when i am just 47 goals short of becoming the all time highest goal scorer in the Premier League. I'm pretty sure Harry Kane would be thinking this way, i know trophies are very important, but breaking that record and creating history is also unbelievable. If Manchester United are fully interested in Harry Kane, then i think he should move there and stay in England, he'll be able to win trophies in United and will also break the record after two seasons or so; it is a win-win for him.

The point is when you are on CEXs you still got a chance to make some arrangements and still have hopes that you might get your assets back.
You are definitely not assured of getting any of your assets back if you lose them in an exchange hack/breach, many a times nobody gets anything, or the legal process to determine how to return some of the funds to the creditors takes forever and in the end might not yield anything, even if people get something back, it might be nothing close to what they lost, etc, so don't count on this as a consolation and basically use a non-custodial wallet to store your assets.
But did you heard any news in which DEXs have returned the assets of those who was victimized in any hacks or bankruptcies like FTX and MT-GOX. In my knowledge i didn't come to know about such news. IF you also have no answer then how can you say not to trust CEXs but DEXs (i know you didn't said to trust DEXs but there is only CEXS or DEXS so if you do not rust one then you definitely is suggesting other)
In a proper dex you do not deposit funds into the exchange like you do in cex, you trade directly with the other trading partner so you control your assets, that is why there is no single point of failure when you use good dex. Nevertheless, your assets should only be in your non-custodial wallet.
