David Marcus was not speaking on behalf of Papal but his personal views or vision. He is now the CEO of Lightspark and has no role in Papal anymore. But his claim that he wants to turn Bitcoin into a Global Payment Network is heresy. Bitcoin is already a globally recognized payment system that would have achieved more global adoption if not for some unpleasant policies by the government. Marcus was simply advertising his company Lightspark that deals on lightning network. It is a subtle strategy to introduce people to his lightning network services.

I don't think the rank of the original poster should be the main determinant of the quality of the post. I have seen some helpful posts from newbies. But the problem is that many of them are in a rush to earn merit and join campaigns so they end up coming up with some low-quality posts.

Most of what you stated in your post is true but you can do better. If you use the search bottom, you will get many posts on the issues you discussed. I appreciate the time you put in to come up with this post but this kind of post will not give you merits if that is what you are aiming at. The forum will appreciate innovative and creative posts that will bring new information to the forum. I think you should spend more time reading and learning before coming up with posts.

The Polish striker also complained that he has had fewer chances this season. He further added that he needs more support to enable him to get chances to score goals. Robert Lewandowski's performance since after the World Cup in Qatar has not been at his best. He relies heavily on others and hardly creates his chances. And in most cases, he keeps missing valuable chances. But he has scored some important goals that have given the club some important points.

It is not a secret that Mbappe's ambition is to play for Real Madrid. There are rumors that the Frenchman has already had a consensus agreement with Real Madrid to move to Spain next season. The problem is that many clubs will be willing to outbid Real to get this talented player. But in most cases, transfer mainly depends on the player's choice. One can also assume that the reason why the club didn't splash so much money on a striker during this transfer season was because they are expecting to sign Mbappe next season.

As you have heard from other members you can create a thread for your predictions and keep on updating it with your predictions. Just like other gamblers in the forum, I will be interested in your predictions because I don't want to lose out. If your prediction turns out to be correct on most occasions, the thread will attract members. I would have been skeptical if you asked for a registration fee before accessing the prediction. I have come across some threads where members ask for money to give people predictions and I see some of them as scams. I am glad you are not asking for money. As much as it is free, there is no harm in trial.

Some of the questions now can not be changed due to their relevance but others are now outdated. The bitcoin world is ever changing and there are new questions that should be added to make the interview more interesting.

This interview section should not be for everybody. I am not trying to be sentimental but it should be for members with experience or have something unique to share. Even in the real world, the media don't host just anybody on the street for interviews. This section should be an avenue where members learn from veterans in the forum. Many new members that have been interviewed just repeat the same stories making this thread less educative. New faces need to stay in the forum and gain experience before coming to tell their stories.

Lukaku recently has not been a consistent striker. He has continued to miss clear chances in some important games. I also don't think that he will improve based on his age and weight, except he works extraordinarily hard. He is not like veterans like Harry Kane, Robert Lewandowski, Ronaldo, and Zlatan Ibrahimović that has defiled age and keep putting up an exceptional performance. My position is that Roma shouldn't depend solely on Romelu Lukaku, he will be good as a spare striker. Jose Mourinho has so much confidence in the Belgian international that was why he called him convincing him to join him again in Roma. It is now up to Lukaku to work hard to prove his critics in Chelsea, Inter, and Juventus wrong.

The ownership problem is also a big challenge. The fans want a change of ownership but the Glazers are overestimating the club which has made the negotiation for the sale of the club collapse. Anthony's issue is a big problem because the summer transfer window has closed which means that he cannot be replaced by a new signee. If the Brazilian is found guilty of domestic violence, United might end up losing another important player to misconduct after the departure of Greenwood. I think clubs need to take the off the pitch behavior of their players seriously because it can harm the club. Maybe players should be exposed to legal, psychological, and relationship education.

Manchester United generally has a poor team. I know that the club expected much from Onana but if you take a close look at some of the goals he conceded it will be evident that the club has a very weak defense. When a club has a good team, even an average goalkeeper will excel. I don't expect the Cameroonian International to perform miracles. The club needs to fix so many things to make them competitive this season. Onana is a good keeper and is still adapting to the English league and he is still young which means he is a long-time goalkeeper.

Statistical analysis is just part of other gambling strategies. It is also important to understand that there is no single that will certainly lead to wins. Gamblers choose the strategy that is convenient and more profitable to them. I will always prefer using different strategies before betting. Analyzing the current performance of the team you want to bet on is also important. As you said statistics might not be reliable because the present condition of the team is also important. An example is that any gambler who considered the statistics of the English premiership team Chelsea to bet on the team last season would have lost throughout last season. This is because their performance last season didn't reflect their statistics.

Investing and reinvesting profits is a good way of building a business. Instead of spending the profit, putting it back into the business will expand and grow it faster.

Having an investment mindset is important if you want to create wealth. You can start with what you can afford and grow it over time. Some persons have enough but they don't care about investing. Before you invest in any sector you need to carry out extensive research to know the profitability and risk involved because you cannot control everything about the business. Some uncontrollable internal and external factors will affect the business. Every business has risks and sometimes our plans might not work the way we projected. Expecting profit from a business doesn't make it a gamble but we should do our research before investing.

If you increase your income and don't apply what @Poker Player advised, you might end up not saving enough to invest. Many people keep spending more as their income increases which will limit their ability to save. It is not about living frugally but applying discipline in spending. Based on the current economic problems, if you don't make sacrifices, you might not have enough to save. The rate of inflation in most countries is forcing many to cut expenses.

I know that Bitcoin is not banned in Nigeria but banks are restricted from dealing in cryptocurrencies. The acronym BTC will only be understood by people who are aware of Bitcoin. Other citizens will not make any meaning from the acronym. I understand your stance but I doubt if an acronym on taxi will encourage people to start rushing to join the Bitcoin space because they do not know those words. It will only serve as a reminder to those who already have Bitcoin knowledge.

The meaning of the BTC signs on those taxes is Bayelsa State Transport Company (BTC) and they were bought to help the citizen cushion the effect of the removal of petroleum subsidy in Nigeria.

One of the good qualities of this community is freedom of speech. People are allowed to say their views without any form of intimidation. Firstly, since we are from different locations and cultures, what you think is an insult might not be the case in another country. I have read that insults are not against the forum rules, members are allowed to speak freely. Insults or foul language are not promoted in the forum but one needs to learn how to ignore and endure the insults. Controlling the language on the forum will affect the freedom of speech which might discourage people from engaging in discussions. I have identified some members that I wouldn't engage in any discussion with them because I don't like their approach. Maybe some other members might have put me on ignore because my expression might have offended them. The beauty of freedom of speech is that everybody has a level playing ground that is void of censorship.

Anybody who thinks that the move of Ronaldo to Al-Nassr is not bringing the desired result is not thinking right. The Portuguese captain was the sole reason for the development of the Saudi League. The management of the Saudi Professional League really did sound research about the players that will attract attention to the league. The reason why most of these top players were attracted to the SPL was because of Ronaldo and he brought a lot of fans to the country.

I don't also think that attracting the best players from Europe to the league will be the only factor that will develop the country's football. Most of these leagues are state owned which means the government might interfere in the administration of the league. A prosperous league should have an independent FA that will be free to make decisions that will impact positively on the league. The league should also attract sponsorship and endorsement deals for other parts of the world to sponsor the league. They need to be free from financial dependence on the government for them to excel.

This should be the correct link:
https://news.bitcoin.com/el-salvador-launches-pilot-project-to-include-bitcoin-content-in-school-curriculums/

I tried to check the content of the curriculum but I couldn't find any of the documents. But it is obvious that these students will be introduced to the basics of bitcoin like wallets, transactions, security, etc. And it also seems like the target is high school students which is okay. Teaching children who are less than twelve years old might not be the right decision because they might not understand the concept. There is also a report that participants are given a diploma certificate that is nationally recognized.

An undiluted Bitcoin education is needed globally. People need to know about Bitcoin and its benefits to individuals, businesses, and institutions. So it's great news to know that over 25,000 students have learned about bitcoin in El Salvador and this awareness is moving to other Latin American countries like Uruguay and Cuba. All of these students might not embrace Bitcoin but the few that accept it will spread the good news.

Lump sum also gives you a bigger chance of making a lot of losses. You can buy and the price will start dropping which means you are making losses. It could also work that immediately you buy, the price will start rising. But you rarely lose in bitcoin except if you have a short-term plan or you panic sell. But you nailed it mate, DCA remains the best strategy because it is more convenient and spreads risks. You are not under any form of pressure because you are buying based on your capacity and timing.

I might consider the lump sum strategy if I have a huge amount that I have planned to invest at a certain time. But for now, DCA is my best option because my income comes in small sums periodically. It is easier to budget some part of my earnings to buy Bitcoin every week or month. DCA is the best for salary earners while lump sum might be suitable for businessmen who make huge profits at once.

Hi Boss Royse.
You have been good to me and I appreciate your support and kindness. I want to inform you that I will be leaving this wonderful team. Thank you, Royse and the Sinbad management. All the best!!!!

These rating platforms have different parameters used in measuring the performance of casinos. It is key to check these benchmark to know if it suits your standard. It will also be a mistake to rely on a single rating by platform to evaluate the reputation of a casino, we should always check other rating platforms. Most reviews are arranged to suit some casinos. Some review websites are secretly owned or financed by these casinos so you don't expect them to publish a negative review. In most cases only reviews that favors the casino is publicized. I don't trust any of them which is why doing research is cardinal.

The skills and certification you get from going to school open many doors of opportunity to make money. You can secure a job or start a business with the knowledge you get from school.  A house gives you just one option which is the income you gain from rent. I will choose to go to school and study a course I have a passion for. Your earnings can provide the funds needed to build houses. Education is also good since you can move to any part of the world with your skills and qualifications. Alternatively, you can build the house and use the rent to finance your education. But we should also understand that education doesn't guarantee good jobs and building a house doesn't also guarantee a constant flow of passive income

Many people have lost money due to the misconception that you can easily make money just by buying Bitcoin. They also assume that bitcoin is like other altcoins that experience push and dump. Bitcoin investment is designed for those who are patient and willing to keep their funds for a long time. People will only lose money in bitcoin if they sell their coins prematurely due to fear of the unknown. There is no way you can lose all your investment in Bitcoin.

The value of fiat is influenced by inflation. Some currencies have lost almost 90% of their value in a few years. There is no certainty that fiat currency will have the same value after a few months or years.

Bitcoin is an investment that can give you profit. It's ability to make you rich depends on how much you bought the coin, the quantity  you own, how long you are willing to keep it and how much you sell it. If you by a large quantity at a very cheap price, hold it for many years and sell when the price goes very high, you might become rich. But owning a small quantity and selling it within a short time might not give you the kind of money you want.

For a long time, there have been several negative campaigns about the electricity consumption of Bitcoin. Several companies, NGOs and individuals have sponsored diverse campaigns to make people see bitcoin as an enemy of the environment. Most researchers and their findings were manipulated just because they wanted to spread lies and their evil agenda. So it is good news to see biased free research that gave a reasonable picture of Bitcoin energy consumption. With bitcoin miners embracing the more green source of power the energy consumption will keep reducing in the future. Each time these acclaimed environmentalists point to Bitcoin as one of the problems of the environment, I refer them to this website: https://bitcoincleanup.com/
