People neglect this fact of time wasted can not be recovered and missing the chances of buying from the DIP, may only amount to purchasing in a much higher price.
well, in this context  of buying the DIP,  Thier is nothing much about time wasted. Whatever time you decide to buy is actually a good time as long you're willing to wait long enough.
Waiting is a waste of time, when you can get started immediately, because you will be limited to the quantity of bitcoin that you you are suppose acquire when you start choosing when to start investing. Time wastes for no one, likewise bitcoin price too. This is why it is good for a beginner to start investing in bitcoin when he has the money and he is prepared for it, irrespective of the price of bitcoin as long as he has a specific amount of funds that he as assigned for his regular DCA weekly or monthly. This is why an investor must plan for a long term goal so that whatever price he buys bitcoin even at the current price of 56k, he will make good profit at the long run.

Bitcoin price shouldn't be a barrier for you to start investing because you don't have any bitcoin yet, and even people that are still in their accumulation stage should continue buying, because their is risk in waiting at a point of time, due to the pump in bitcoin price. Waiting will slow than your bitcoin journey, and also keeping your bitcoin portfolio stagnant, if you have not reached 70% of your bitcoin target or your maintenance stage. This is why new investors and low coiner should also prepare for the UPity of bitcoin price and not only the dip. This is why the DCA method is there to enable us buy bitcoin at any level of price, as long as you are consistent and persistent with you regular purchase to increase your portfolio with time-line, instead of sitting idle and having false hope waiting, and limiting your chances or reaching the fuck you status in future, or close to it.
1163  Other / Off-topic / Re: Having a regular/steady income is important as a gambler. on: February 27, 2024, 09:36:20 PM
  -    When you have a regular job and you like to gamble, for sure this will be your gasoline for it so that you can gamble continuously at the casino. So it's quite difficult when a gambler just gambles because it's just luck because he doesn't have a job.

But sometimes I admire other gamblers who, even if they don't have a regular job, manage to raise money for gambling, but they can't find a way to find a job because they don't do it that way.
Even when someone has a regular paying job, making gambling a habit every day is not that good because you might spend more than you earn from your regular job in gambling, and if it happens that you don't win more often from gambling, what do you think will happen to your regular salary? It might not even be able to keep you going.
 
You also don't have to envy those who gamble and don't have any regular job that gives them stable pay, and they end up only hoping on gambling for survival. What if the days when they don't win anything from the casino, how will they survive, or will they go and beg for what to eat or someone who will help them foot their daily bills?

Anyone without income shouldn't gamble, because such person will end up using gambling as his means of income which is unethical. The person will be vulnerable to addiction, because he thinks that he can make it through gambling, and he will keep on chasing losses, and will go at any length to get money for his gambling activities. This is the worst of all, because how will the person be able to provide for his needs, and also pay for his bets.

However, if a gambler has an income, if he is the type that do have his gambling budget, and stick to it due to self control and discipline on his gambling activities, he will enjoy the fun in gambling. But for those people that don't keep their gamble budget, might end up spending all their money in gambling in one day, because they are losing, but instead of quitting the game, they will feel that they can win back all their losses, and since the still have some funds in their possessions, they will use that money to continue chasing their losses, and they will finally lose of of it. No job, don't gamble.

What an easy match for Manchester city today against Luton, who is very weak for them. Manchester City is already on the lead with 2 goals to nothing. The two goals was scored by Haaland. He scored an early on the the third minutes to open the score line, and on the 18th minutes, he had a clear one on one with Luton goalkeeper, which he brilliantly find the back of the net.

Manchester city is in possession of the game, and it shows that Luton is incapable of resisting the pressure mounted on them by Manchester city. City has lost more chances than Luton, and City is using all their best players in the match regardless that it is FA cup. The match is on the 27th minutes and no goal has been added to the recent scored ones.

Luton 0-2

The other two matches is still goalless and none of the club has found the back of the net yet.

Blackburn 0-0 Newcastle.

Bournemouth 0-0 Leicester City

Those developed countries do have challenges of high crime rate. This is because they are more exposed to guns, which is more on the street, also with drugs. However, no country is free from corruption, because corruption is something that you see pleasing to you as a corrupt leader who is greedy, and only care about himself, and his family.

Lack of freedom from the government, because everything, and data about every individual is in record. This gives the government power to control the citizens financial life, because whatever you say, they government might get you killed or freeze your account to make sure  that they have control over your life. Oppression from the government on the citizens is what all countries developed and underdeveloped are facing.

Napoli has chances of climbing up if they win consistently till the end of season, seeing there maybe not less than 12matches left to play. Osimhen was on point for them in their last match as they won and if Bologna and the teams withing the top from 5th - 8th position losses or draws further, we might see a rearrangment of the table with Napoli either finishing 4, 5th or 6th possibly. 

Of course yeah, they can achieve one of those three positions that you said above, only if they can try their possible best to win their rest matches. We shouldn't also forget that those clubs ahead of Napoli, apart from Lazio and Fiorentina, it will be hard for Napoli to take over from Roma and Bolonga. We can see that since De Rossi took over from Mourinho, the club has been coming up with good performance by winning matches, which make it difficult for Napoli.

Napoli can finally be on the 7th position, because it will be easy for them to be ahead of Lazio and Fiorentina. However, Napoli's performance this season has been very poor compare to what I expected from them as the defending champions, which make me to still be in doubt if Napoli will be able to play and win more games than the ones that they will lose and draw in total. The new coach this season is not that competent for the job.
1167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An Unusual Story that Reflects the Current Gambling Addiction Reality on: February 27, 2024, 02:14:50 PM
If the man is a gambling addict, then the woman is right for not sending the money into his account, because she knows that he will use part of the money, or if not all the money to gamble, and that has killed the purpose of giving the money to the person in need, when it is not used for the right purpose. Addicted gamblers are not to be trusted with money, because they will end up using the money to gamble, thinking that they can double the money to make more profit, as this is what use to be in their thoughts.

I know this lady that was so addicted to gamble, and she was finding it difficult to control herself. To the extent that she do beg and come up with various lies whenever she wants to gamble, because addiction gas eaten her deep to her bone marrow. She came to me the first time that her son is sick, and he is in the hospital, that she needs some assistance from me, which I helped her with some money. Unknown to be that she was looking for money that she wants to use to gamble. It was later that my friend told me that she is a chronic addict, and that is how she goes about telling lies with the name of her son that is sick, so that people can sympathize with her, and give her money. This is why it is good that you make sure that when you are rendering help to someone, you make sure that the money is used for the right purpose, and we should not be deceived.
1168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 27, 2024, 12:17:08 PM
Mathematically, Girona still have the potential to top the table. But practically I would say that Girona won't be able to occupy the top spot of the table again this season.

We know the Real Madrid team. This team is very experienced. And now the team is 6 points ahead of Girona. Real Madrid has more BC schedule in the future. A 2/1 draw is unlikely for this team to lose more than 6 points. Moreover, it is also not guaranteed that Girona will be able to win all of their next 12 matches. So I would say Real Madrid is the unheralded champion of La Liga this year. Madrid are sure to win the title unless there is an accident.
It is possible to reduce the 6-point gap in 12 rounds, but in this case everything will depend on Real, everything is in their hands, if they do not lose points, then no matter how hard Girona tries, they will not be able to do anything. Yesterday was also not a very easy match, they scored at the beginning of the second half, and the match was very tense until the end, until Rayo received a red card, after which the game changed and Savio scored twice.

I didn't say it was impossible. On paper it is possible. But we all know about Real Madrid's gameplay. It cannot be said for sure whether this team will lose 6 points in 12 matches. Losing 6 points in 12 matches is unlikely. On the other hand, the probability that Girona will win all their next 12 matches is also very low. Girona might win 10 out of 12 matches. On the other hand, if the Real Madrid team loses 4/5 matches out of 12 matches, the scenario may change. But personally I don't think Real Madrid will miss the title this season. They have occupied the top position of the table with a gap of 6 points. And I think they will be able to maintain this gap until the end of the season.
I agree to your statement above, that it is impossible for Girona's point to level with that of Real Madrid. I will say that currently, this is the worst performance that we can expect from Real Madrid, because Bellingham is on injury. Even at this Real Madrid are struggling to win their matches, to make sure that the point gap between them and Girona is not too close. Believe me when Bellingham is back on the pitch, you will see how Real Madrid will become unbeaten, till the end of the season.

Real Madrid should not be a club that we can look down on, and giving Girona some hype that they might be able to level the point, because I cannot tell if Girona can become more consistent than Real Madrid in their upcoming matches. This was how the title race started that Real was using just a point to lead Girona on the table, and as time passes by, Girona started dropping points till Barcelona came from behind to overtake them, before they won their match against Rayo yesterday. Girona should be careful and should stay more focused on finishing as second on the table, because that is what they can achieve, and not thinking that they can be the winners of the league this season. Real Madrid will not let that happen.

OP, thanks for this updates. This shows that we are very active in our local board based on the record from the previous data to this current one. I am happy to see that Naija local board is the second most active members, and I hope to see it with time that we become the number 1, and take over from Russia. This will be possible in the long run, if we can achieve the second position within a short period of time, then the first position is also possible.

As a matter of fact, it is not all Nigerians that are posting on our local board but we still have this great number of active members. Brothers, let us keep up the good work, and come with better innovation and more quality post to keep the board on the forum standard. One love my brothers and sisters, the young shall grow. It is just that with this high rate of active members, only one merit source is what the board have with few amount of smerits.
1170  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC above $53k on: February 27, 2024, 07:08:32 AM
I have read often times that price of BTC usually dump before the halving and pick up after halving but it's looking as if there is going to be an exception to this rule this year now that Bitcoin ETF has already been approved and lots of instructional buying going on.

With BTC constantly going up and as we approach March I'm just few days? Do you think we are going to see any major corrections before the halving?
You have posted to early because just after your post bitcoin crossed 56k now and your title seems to be odd because if bitcoin will be having correction then that will be more low that 53k at least below 50k but for me there might not be happening because this time we may experience different scenario than what  we had in the past.
I don't think that bitcoin will go below 50k, because the odds are very small. The reason why I said this is because, after bitcoin touched 52k..it corrected to 49k+, and the price didn't stay there for long before it went immediately back to 50k+. Now that we have seen the price at 57k+, but as I am typing this post, the price of bitcoin is 56k+, if a correction would be made, it should be from 50k, and above but not below 50k.

This is good news for investors, because it is not up to 24hrs that we have seen 9% pump in bitcoin price, and we are still having a month and some days to the halving, which means that we might see the price of bitcoin above 60k before the halving, if a correction in place did not take place, but I don't think that we can see a price above the last ATH price before the halving. However, any thing is possible, because the approval of bitcoin ETF, is playing a big role on bitcoin price, which makes this circle a special one.
1171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it ethical to break your gambling rules on: February 26, 2024, 10:42:25 PM
Rules set by a person can be broken depends on the circumstances of the situation on ground, if it will be favorable or not. Based on your own, you can choose to break your own rules due to lack of discipline and sel control over your gambling activities. The reason why some of us have rules on our gambling life, is to help live as a healthy gambler, and not as an addict.

OP, going beyond your two weeks limit in gambling is a sign that you are getting close to addiction, which you might not even know that you have been addicted to gambling, because you have begin to give excuses for not sticking to your gambling rules, by saying that you do win, and you only use 30% of your budget. The worse thing is that a gambler is an addict, and he does not know that he is an addict because he hasn't started living a weird life.

It is good that we stick to the rules that we have set aside for our gambling activities, only if we want to change the rules, by giving it more limit to the previous, but if you want to gamble above your gambling rules, then it is good that we caution ourselves, and go back to keep to the rules for one to gamble responsible.

Westham United has been performing well this season, but I don't know what went wrong for them when they started losing their matches. Westham United are leading Brentford 2-1 at halftime. Even though Brentford dominated Westham United in the first half, I chose Westham United to beat Brentford full-time because Westham United has more goal attempts than Brentford.
It seems that Westham did not encounter any significant obstacles in this match. They have complete dominance over the match. Indeed, they conceded 1 goal, but Westham didn't let that happen and continued to put pressure on Brentford. This time, the position is 4 - 1. So there is no doubt that Westham will win this match. Meanwhile, the match has started and is in the 76th minute.
We have seen another hat trick from today's match as Jarrod Bowen scored the first three goals for West Ham. While Dybala also scored a hat trick for Roma today. The first goal was scored on the 5th minutes of the match and the second goal was scored two minutes after the first goal, while Neal Maupay scored Brentford first goal on the 13th minutes of the first half. No goal was scored till the first half was over, which ended as 2-1 in favor of the host.

Bowen scored his third goal on the 63rd minutes in the second half. Six minutes later Emerson scored to make it 4-1 on the 69th minutes. This shows how weak Brentford are in this match for them not to be able to score more than one goal until the 82nd minutes, that Yoane Wissa managed to score their second goal with a good finish.

West Ham move up to the 8th position from the 11th position with this victory over Brentford. It is still 4-2
1173  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why inflated countries should adopt Bitcoin as a Legal Tender on: February 26, 2024, 08:23:26 PM
Accepting bitcoin as a legal tender wouldn't change the economy state of a country. Moreover, bitcoin must not be a legal tender before citizens will benefit from it, as long as bitcoin is not banned in a country, and it is legal to use it, then it will still serve its purpose. You should also note that it will be impossible for bitcoin to replace fiat in future, because it is limited in supply and cannot be used daily by everyone with the large number of population in the world.

Bitcoin was created to be an alternative payment method to fiat, which is that purpose that it will serve. El Salvador adopted bitcoin as a legal tender, it has not change their economy, but it will do that in the long run, since the have the country's fiat reserve in bitcoin. Bitcoin is a hedge to inflation, but you should also think about the high volatile nature of bitcoin. Bitcoin is still facing a challenge of high transaction fee that do happens from those garbage that uses bitcoin blockchain, that will be the worst for bitcoin users when those token pop up again.

Roma 3-1 Torino

A beautiful strike from a distance which ended up at the back of the net from Dybala, has given Roma the lead on the 57th minutes of the second half, after the first half ended in a 1-1 draw, which both goals was scored on the last 5 minutes to the end of the first half.

Roma opened the score line on the 42nd minutes with an excellent penalty kick taken by Dybala, due to the foul that Saba Sazonov did Sardar Azmon inside the penalty box. Three minutes later Torino hit back the equalizing goal on the 44th minutes to balance the scoreline.

What a day for Dybala, as he has scored his third goal on the 69th minutes with his left foot to give a super finish after he received a marvelous pass from Lukaku. Dybala has scored a hat trick against Torino. De Rossi must be proud of himself and the players for this wonderful result.

MY LOTTO. COM REVIEW


Registration/Login
Lotto.com has the easiest of all registrations that I have experienced. You only need your email to register, which you login will be done from the mail that you will receive in your email from lotto. Once you click on the login in the mail sent to you, automatically, you will be login to their site.

Free Satoshi after registration
Actually, I didn't noticed the free Satoshi immediately I was login, but after I applied on this thread for the review, after some hours when I login again, to see if I have been sent the 100 Satoshi, behold it was in my account. I appreciated it, because it gives me the chance to test the games, and to also try my luck for the first time in the site on any of the six games of my choice, which was fantastic.

Betting Experience
It was a wonderful experience testing some games in the site. I played line bingo, but lost in my first game, and I decided to go and try the second game which was pick six. I won three games in a roll with 2x, then I decided to with the max amount in my account, thinking that I will be lucky, as I was in the first three games, but I lost it all in just one game. I enjoyed my time having fun with those games.





General Overall Experience
The registration, and login process is superb, and one in a million due to its simplicity. It was very easy to navigate the site, as it is user-friendly, and I love the color interface because it is unique and cool. I didn't make any deposit, but from what I saw it is a SegWit Bitcoin wallet address, this will make payment fast and cheap. Easy accessibility of games and very easy to place your bet.

Suggestion
Lotto.com should add more games to their casino, so that it will make gamblers feel comfortable at home to play various games of their choice, and get satisfied with the casino.

More cryptocurrency option should be accepted, and not only bitcoin, so that gamblers can make their choices of which coins that they will use, incase bitcoin is not the best option at that moment, because sometimes we do experience a high transaction fee that can discourage gamblers from using the site.

Lotto should look into having a tutorial that can guide people that have not used an online casino to gamble before, on how to play the games to their understanding.

Thanks Lotto.com for giving me this opportunity.

Chelsea v Liverpool

Chelsea XI: Petrovic, Gusto, Disasi, Colwill, Chilwell, Caicedo, Enzo, Gallagher, Palmer, Jackson, Sterling.

Liverpool XI: Kelleher, Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Mac Allister, Endo, Gravenberch, Elliott, Gakpo, Diaz.

Liverpool are ready for this match without Mo Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai and Darwin Nunez and I know Chelsea are not Luton Town that maintain winning throughout the first half of the game without this guys, even though they later won that was Premier league and now it's final against Chelsea, Liverpool shouldn't capitalised on their last meeting with Chelsea that they won 4-1, I know Mo Salah was absent. I expect seriousness with the both clubs because this match really mean a lot for this teams especially the coaches.
Both teams have been impressive with their style of play this first half, however I feel Chelsea have not been well treated with that goal scored by sterling that was later disallowed by VAR,  Jackson was not in an off-side position, there was a Liverpool playing that was keeping him on before he passed the ball to sterling. Chelsea have been more defensive and with some sprinkles of counter attack style of play. That Chelsea player that tackled Liverpool player wrongly on the ankle and wasn't given a straight Red card for me was a wrong decision the Referee took, that was obviously a wrong tackle and the Liverpool player could not continue with the game again. Liverpool have really tried to make some moves to score but the Chelsea defense has been very solid.
This is an unbelievable match as both clubs are preventing each other from finding the back of the net. Chelsea had more chances that Liverpool goalkeeper deprived them from. They had more opportunities than Liverpool, and both of the clubs had a disallowed goal by VAR.

This is a real battle for both teams and Chelsea look more stronger than Liverpool towards the end of the second half. The game is now on 30 minutes extra time, and whoever scores first will win this match. Who knows maybe the match will end up in a penalty kickout because none of these clubs wants to accept defeat, because it is the final, and a trophy is at stake.

I love several games, and it is always fun when you are gambling on a game that you understand very well. However, I prefer sportbet more than a casino game, even though I know that the chances of winning in a casino game are higher than sportbet. I always hang out with some of my colleagues on Saturdays, and we are all gamblers. So, we book down our games and come together to watch it in a bar down my street, just to have fun together, because I don't like watching football matches alone, only when the match will be played in the night.

I love sportbet because if you are following up in recent matches, and you know the past records of the clubs that are involved in the match, it will aid you to have a better insight of how the match might end up. However, it doesn't mean that the match will end up as predicted but I believe that as long as you are not gambling with an amount that you cannot afford to lose, it will not make you look sad, when you lose the bet, but you will be cool that you entertained yourself, and when you win, you will be excited.

How to Buy Bitcoin and Bitcoin ETF Peer-to-Peer  ?

There are many people around the world want to know - How to Buy Bitcoin and Bitcoin ETF Over the Counter  ?  

If you want to Buy or Sell then you need to do a bit research on the Bitcoin and Bitcoin ETF Market.  

Normally 1 BTC is divided to 100 units of 'ETF' . Each unit of ETF is backed by Bitcoin that is collateral to it. When you buy Bitcoin or BTC-ETF please buy from an authorised exchange or trusted seller or agent who you know.  

Your bitcoin buying's and hodlings should be kept private, and that is why you don't need to know the person that is selling to you or should the person that is selling know you. As long as you are buying from an exchange using p2p, only buy from a trader with high orders, and that has reputably completed transactions with high percentage, and fast payment. However, if there is a shop or mall, where you know that buys bitcoin, you can use that instead of an exchange.

For privacy DEX is what should be used to keep your identity safe, but if you don't care about your privacy, you can use CEX. Never let anyone to know how many bitcoin that you have.
