It’ll be Messi, rightly or wrongly but winning the World Cup and being an absolute star in the tournament will swing it in Messi’s favour.

Haaland had a far superior domestic season but Messi will win it, I’m certain of it. This will be the last time Messi wins it though.
I agree with you that Messi is the favorite to win the ballon d'or because he displayed an outstanding performance in the world cup which led to Argentina winning the world cup. It is quite surprising that the two players who played the finals and made it very  interesting, couldn't perform well in European leagues or was their poor performance the fault of their clubs because both of them are in PSG.

Haalad performed extraordinary in the European champion league and showed the potential that he got which was also part of the success of Man city. He won the tribble but this wouldn't still make him win the ballon d'or because Messi is more a genius than him in football history and for that reason he would be favoured by FIFA.

Introducing bitcoin is people is something good but it depends on how you explain bitcoin to the person that he will see it and decide if he is ready to invest or not. Don't use sweet mouth when explaining bitcoin,rather you should be truthful and tell the person the risk side of it,so that if he jumps into investing and things got bad beyond his expectations, he wouldn't hold you responsible for his loss.

If you only tell the person the good side of bitcoin, you will see it that the person will be eager to invest because you have put it to him that it is a get rich quick investment, this will make the person look for any means necessary to have funds to invest and when the market faces the downturn of bitcoin, that person will loose hope and confidence in you and he wouldn't be prepared for the risk,which might turn out to be a problem for him to control. This is why in whatever business you want to invest in,it is wise that you do your own research and learn the pros and cons of it.

It is a pity that our leaders don't  understanding the potential of cryptocurrency and how to generate tax from it for the country development. Assuming the early time that crypto came into the country and people were embracing massively, they could have  insight to see how the country can benefit from it and work towards it. Instead they only saw the other side of crypto, thinking that it will be like a barrier to investors from keeping their money in the bank.

I wouldn't really put the blame on the president but on the Central Bank Governor,who they gave the power to decide on which currency to use or not. Out of his own low mentality on crypto restricted banks from trading with crypto,which discouraged many people from crypto. It is now that the former CBN governor Emiefele is no long in office that people who understands the advantage of cryptocurrency is trying to talk to the government for them to understand that the adoption will help the youths in provision of jobs and will generate tax for the country.
1104  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Which sector fit drive di adoption of bitcoin pass for Nigeria on: September 07, 2023, 08:16:36 PM
True talk my broda,it is the public sector that will help in the adoption of bitcoin faster when they start accepting it as an alternative payment in schools, light bills and for house rents. Since it is the government, it will make many people to have strong belief in it and in no time almost everyone in Nigeria will be a bitcoin investor. You know say we Nigeria like new thing and make government come back am up,e do finish.

On the other hand, if the government doesn't want to give support to bitcoin adoption,it is left for the private sector to use their own strategy to help in bitcoin adoption by introducing it in their business and an alternative means of private. This is increase the adoption but slow and steady,unlike that of the public sector that will increase significantly.

Tottenham are doing incredibly well these days. Despite losing Kane they are even better at the beginning of the season. But the main reason why they were bad previously wasn't Kane of course. It was the poor kind of team performance. But now they are doing a really good work under the management of Ange Postecoglou.

He made a change in the attacking line like having Son in Richarlison's position. This worked great so Richarlison might need to wait in the subs for a while. His performance has been poor lately. I'm curious about whether Tottenham can even stay in the title race this season.
Most people thought that if Kane leaves,the club will face a big challenge in winning games,but it didn't turn out that way but instead Son was given the opportunity to come to the lime light,as he is the one doing the scoring and keeping the team lively with his brilliant performance.

They started with good results this season and they won Manchester united to have all three points, This shows that they have improved a lot and if they can be consistent with this performance, they will  go a long way this season.

I have no political beliefs, I do not vote to be honest but that’s another story. I think the recently leaked mugshot is hilarious though. I think Trump may use it in some way for his campaign movement in the next election. Either way though, the emotion he is displaying in the mugshot made me laugh.

Politicians are very funny and they can do whatever they feel that can help them create publicity for their campaign in elections. I wouldn't be surprise to see Trump coming up with this strategy for the forth coming election.

Politics is something I don't like because majority of them are not honest and they can do anything just to win elections and after they have being put to power they forget all their promises and act the other way. Elections are always manipulated to favor one party or the other which makes it a dirty game.
1108  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Scammers won't mind kicking those who are already down on: September 05, 2023, 08:03:49 PM
Scammers are people with no conscience and they are looking for how to get everything that you have if possible. As for the FTX format,it isn't something that is new because I have seen a scenario, where someone took advantage of a scammed victim as an opportunity to also scam that victim and it worked.

This is why we need to be very careful and vigilant when we are online and never to trust anyone  that we don't know and not to also click on any link that you are not expecting. Always put it in your mind that your safety is in your hands and scammers are around looking for a way to scam you.
1109  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The danger of blaming everything on politics on: September 05, 2023, 07:53:34 PM
we dey feel too comfortable blaming everything for we country on politicians.
If we don't blame the politicians who will we blame ? Is it you or myself ? The truth is bitter and it remains the fact. Our leaders are the cause of this bad economy that we are experiencing because they don't care about us,but only themselves and they only implement what they will benefit from only and not the masses. Nigeria leaders has done a big harm to our economy and it might take a very long time to build it back or never. We voted and our votes don't count. We needed a good leader and INEC chairman gave us his own leader. Bro why we no go blame leaders. The president from Obasanjo till date are borrowing money from foreign countries all in the name of Nigeria but at the end this money wouldn't be used for the purpose but for their selfish desires.

Nigerians are hardworking and tolerant, if not these country wouldn't be a happy place for everyone. If it is in the second world country all these dubious acts would have been put to stop by the citizens. The youths are peaceful and hardworking people who out of nothing creates something for themselves to survive with the harsh weather. It is normal to complain about the hardship but have you seen anyone that is eating without working in these our present days. No

what do you think about FullRBF, does it allow double spend or not?
Yea it prevents double spend. If a transaction is unconfirmed yet,you can use Replace By Fee (RBF) to change the transaction to a new address but you must bump the transaction fee to be higher than the previous one,so that miners will quickly add it to the blockchain.

Electrum wallet and blue wallet are example of walkers with RBF.
1111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 01, 2023, 08:16:45 PM

Will Roma be able to have a welcome back in the second half ? With the look of how the match went in the first half,Roma are not strong enough to hold down Milan because Milan is stronger than them and we saw that in their ball possession. Also Milan had created note chances of scoring but luck wasn't on their side.  On the other hand Roma also took courage and believed that they could equalise the goal but it wasn't that easy as they thought,because Milan didn't relent in their defense. The second half will be tougher than this because Mourihno will make some changes that might turn the game in his favour. I hope to see Lukaku in the second half and let's see if he can be the man to put hope back for Roma because he is a player that aggressively penetrates his opponent defense and turn nothing to something.


Absolutely not!

I am puzzled about their game and I am asking myself whether Mourinho will be managing Roma for much longer when they play like this. They have literally no chance against Milan. This game was supposed to be much tighter although I thought that Milan will have the advantage here and most likely win it with a 1 goal margin or something. But this game is not just a loss, it is Milan destroying Roma.

The only thing they can be happy about in this game so far is that it is only 0-2 for Milan and not 0-3 or 0-4. I guess Mourinho will freak out after the game, but he is also guilty I think. It is as if they don't have a game plan at all, which is not typical for Mourinho's teams.
Rafeal Lao has scored an astonishing goal tonight even when he was losing his balance,he still created a way of scoring the goal. His goal is one of the best that I have seen in football history. This goal will be on headline news because it is not just a goal but an unbelievable goal. What an early goal in the second half.

Damn it,a ref card has been given to Tomori to put Milan on one man down. I think this is one of the perfect moment for Roma to have a welcome back on this match. I don't think that it will be easy for Milan to win the game if there is a lot of pressure from Roma.
1112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has your Responsible Gambling had any of these Effects on You? on: August 31, 2023, 09:12:09 PM
 

my question is, could this be happening to everybody?
Not really,I don't think it is happening to every gambler because there are gamblers who gamble and they do it responsible. It all boils down to self discipline and del control. To know when to stop.

Has your responsible gambling habit had any positive effects on your relationships with your spouse, kids, parents, and others?
Actually,I can't say a YES or NO on this one but I know that we live happily and gambling isn't a problem on my side as I only gamble with money that I can afford to loss which makes it more cool

Has it improved your finances and helped you stay out of debt?
Nah, I don't win that much. Sometimes, once in a month and I don't think that gambling can give one steady funds that will make him stay out of debt,if he is a debtor. I don't like been indebted to someone,which makes me hardly collect loans.

Has it improved your mental health and well being in anyway?
Yea,I am the type that loves sportbet,precisely soccer. Anytime that am watching a match I feel very excited and funky to see if the match will end up with the same result on my bet.

Has it been able to help you meet an urgent need? Let's discuss.
Nah,gambling sucks from you and has nothing to offer you with. Anytime I win,I put the money back into gambling and save the one that am suppose to use to gamble.

Face lock isn't a good way to secure your bitcoin wallet neither will a finger print be the best option. It is easy for one to get access to your wallet unknowingly to you if you are using any of these security methods to secure your bitcoin wallet.

For instance,if a family member knows that you are using any of this method,it is easy for them to have access to your wallet by taking advantage of you when you are sick and lying down helplessly. They can just hold your hand and use your finger print to access your wallet,unknowingly to you because you are weak and sleeping. Also with the face lock,an identical twins can use his face to unlock is other twin wallet. The best method is to put a password,because that remains inside you and if you don't say it out or write it,there will be no access without your permission.

1116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: August 30, 2023, 09:52:08 PM
Currently I would put Barcelona ahead of Real Madrid. Because all the players of the Barcelona team play the match with great responsibility. On the other hand, if Real Madrid has a dedicated striker, I think the team will be complete.
Madrid is probably much more experienced in the UCL than Barcelona, even Barcelona failed last season, if you look at both of them playing well, just look at the domestic league at the moment Madrid is far superior with 3 wins in a row and established them at the top of the standings so it looks like they are right really consistent even though they have not found a striker who can replace benzema's position.

There are too many rumors about Mbappe being able to replace Benzema as a striker in Madrid, but it hasn't been achieved yet and the results are still the same. Madrid with the current squad is also sufficient according to Ancelotti, but we'll see how it goes, no one knows how the two will play in the UCL this season, but what I see in the domestic league is that Madrid is far ahead of Barcelona.
What I have noticed this season with Real Madrid is that despite the fact that Benzema is no longer with them,they are still fighting to win their matches and the are achieving it. The absence of Benzema has suppress the club's performance. They  have started this season with a winning strategy and I believe this season will be better more off than last season.

In UCL,I know that Real Madrid is after winning the cup and that was why Ancelotti is still in the club to achieve this victory for them. Now that Vinicius is on injury,this might affect the performance of the club only if Ancelotti will make a good replacement for him that wouldn't make them miss him in their matches. Real Madrid has a better chance of winning trophies this season that Barca.
1117  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin achievement on: August 30, 2023, 09:35:41 PM
then my initial life was not positive, I don't know what to do with my life. one day my friend encourage me to invest on Bitcoin despite my Reservation about Bitcoin, I eventually became persuaded. then I purchase a Bitcoin in 2017 and invested it. from there I became engaged with a forum and began contributing over time, since then I become an established Bitcoin investor.

   Guess what, ever since my friend introduced me to Bitcoin and I invested on it, things have never remain the same with me. investing in Bitcoin have given me what I could imagine to achieve in short period of time.
(1) I live alone in the house. but now, I have wife and children.
(2) I was living in a rented apartment. but now, I live in my own house.
(3)  I was tricking to places. but now, Bitcoin have giving me a car.
(4) before I don't have any source of income. but now, Bitcoin is my source of income.

friends, in short period of time, BTC have given me what I needed to have as a man. what is, your own achievement's with Bitcoin.
Hmmm..sounds like a cook story to me because all what you said is just too good to be truth. Are you into trading,since you said bitcoin has given you a job. Like you started that bitcoin has given all that you mentioned within a short period of time.

We all know that the only way one can make good profit is when he invest in long term and not short term,this is why I am nervous about your achievement. Maybe soon bitcoin will give you a private jet. Anyway,I know that bitcoin has been a life saver and will still be.
1118  Economy / Speculation / Re: Should we rely on prediction? on: August 30, 2023, 09:24:19 PM
It is base on bitcoin historical movement that has made so many people to have their speculations on bitcoin price. The fact remains this,the price of bitcoin cannot be predicted accurately,but it can be speculated on,since there are previous circles that the movement followed the same pattern.

Instead of trying to predict the price,it is better that you work with a price target,in case you want to sell and make profit because no one can tell what the price of bitcoin will be next. This is the proper time to accumulate only and think less of the price movement. Prepare yourself towards the upcoming bull run next year.
1119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: August 30, 2023, 09:12:07 PM
How about the online casino ? Yeah the physical casino are mostly made for the men but i think that since the online gambling is getting popular they may be many ladies and women who are gambling and yet we are not aware because we are unable to see who is gambling behind the computer or mobile screen.

You make a good point but also when you think about how dominate the physical casino are by men, there is more chances that the mobile casino is going to be dominated by men as well. Looking at both genders we have more male gamblers than female gamblers.

The statistics from the mobile casino cannot be trusted as anybody can claim to be of any gender when registering and KYC aren't accurate because KYC can be bought from the dark web and used illegally to hide identify of people that don't want to be seen gambling.

Men are more risk takers, men loves sports more and that's why man has to be the majority when it comes to gambling that has to do with risk taking like casino games and those that have to do with sport betting as they're more interested in this activities than the females.
From the look of things,I will admit the fact that men are more into gambling than females, either offline or online. The same thing that happens offline is the same with  online casino in terms of the number of male to female. Men are risk takers and that is what gambling is all about,taking risk to see if you can double your funds.

Women are weak in this aspect and they are careful spenders,this will make their population not up to men in the gambling exercise. It is slot game that I know the women that are into gamble loves playing and that is the area you will see them most. A lady will prefer to use her money on make ups and jeweleries rather than gambling.
1120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: August 30, 2023, 08:55:19 PM
Exactly. Someone who has a gambling addiction cannot quit in an instant. Instead, it is better to say that gradually quitting gambling is much possible and doable. There is no easy way out, and it can be tough. It takes a lot of willpower and determination to break the habit. Your brain and urge to keep gambling is hard to stop and might be challenging because it makes you feel good when you do it and the pleasure you experience to the point where you lose your self-control when you get addicted to it. And this hunts whenever you try to stop gambling. So, to answer the question, quitting gamble is definitely hard.
Yes, as I said above and the thing that makes it difficult is when someone is an addict who wants to stop gambling but has no intention of stopping gambling, he will definitely find it difficult, but if he starts from his heart to stop gambling, it will definitely be done easily even though it is necessary. Be patient and take time to get rid of this habit, because ingrained habits are not that easy to get rid of.

Reducing slowly and ensuring that addiction can be cured with all efforts and prayers, because indeed some of my friends also said that it was indeed difficult and not as easy as people imagined, but he was sure that he would recover and be able to get out of his addictive behavior and stop gambling in the end. Nowadays, it is difficult and bitter in reality but it is the only way to recover from addiction.  Wink
Many people, including smart individuals I know, forget this. Consider that buildings take time to build. Changing deep-rooted habits is often difficult. It won't happen immediately. I like your rough pals. This perseverance and determination are admirable. I've been there, and it's hard but attainable. Life throws you curveballs, and how you handle them depends on how you handle them

Now, be vigilant, careful, and never overconfident. Overconfidence can be harmful. Strong determination and desire can overcome addiction. Remember that the voyage is frequently longer than the destination. Only the travel, hard effort, and determination matter. Keep working hard and never underestimate the human spirit. However, not everything is as simple as 1, 2, 3. Counting 1, 3, 2 is fine sometimes. Life is an adventure, not a competition. Face the challenge and improve tomorrow
In addition to what you have mentioned above,if the person wants to stop,he needs to stay away from people that still gambles,like his friends or colleagues. If not he might be tempted to gamble again and it wouldn't be of any help to him.

The person should also look for another means to occupy his gambling period so that he wouldn't be bored at that particular time he uses for gambling. When he is engaged,he will hardly have much thought on gambling. On the other hand, if the gambler in question doesn't want to quit gambling and is pretending that he wants to quit,there is no strategy that you will come up with, that will be helpful.
