POW has attack vectors.
clogging the mempools with ordinals and hashrate manipulation is being done as I type.
I am a fan of POW not pos but POW has flaws.
POS is simply a terrible idea 💡.
I finally found someone who got the balls to say the truth and not a one sided person. Anytime you decide to speak about some flaws of Bitcoin, people want to hate you because you are taking bad about Bitcoin but that's not. Bitcoin isn't perfect and so is any technology that has ever existed, there are one or two things that must be going wrong in that tech and Bitcoin isn't an exemption. You see this ordinals and encryption of meta data debate, I'm very sure that this exploit of the Bitcoin protocol is done by some miners because so far, a lot of people has been calling for the patch of this bug that people are exploiting but because they are making money from fees hike, they have turned blind eye and keep saying Bitcoin is open source, if it was transaction they were able to remodified, I believe the protocol would have been done since but they don't want to patch this ordinals because it's helping them make tons of Bitcoin from transactions. |

I was walking down my street this evening I saw some group of guys in a hidden corner of an uncompleted building playing WHOT games ordinarily I felt they are just spending usual time as friends and that they are playing the WHOT game to keep themselves busy while discussing.
But when I got closer to them I discovered that there was a dirty container close to them and inside the container is money they bet for the game they are playing , and if not careful observed you will never believe that they are playing bet games .
Sorry to ask but are you Gen Z? This obviously happened in Nigeria and I can share you my opinion why they were hidden playing the WHOT. Sometimes in the early 2000s in Nigeria, when you are see around playing a WHOT game, the police usually arrest everyone involved because they believed that anyone playing such games are cultist, street taughts and drug abusers, this is what used to happened back then but things have changes and WHOT is not that interesting again because of the police arrested, parents hate to see their children playing them. So the guys you see playing and hidden the games knows about the implications of playing the WHOT, is either their parents will be mad if they know they are playing the game or they are afraid of the storyline about WHOT phobia and police arrest, it's not like they are hidding the gambling from anyone but the WHOT is the real problem with them. |

Even though many people say that Real Madrid won and qualified for the semifinals based on luck, in my opinion, it's not just relying on luck, Anceloti has smart tactics, he knows that if Real Madrid doesn't get a draw, Man City will take advantage of the situation by playing at home as winners, so from Madrid kept its defense tight, making it difficult for Man City to score goals, even though Man City took many shots but only 1 of them was scored as a goal.
After the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid, he was asked how he feel about todays match and his answer was "that's the only way to win the game" which implies that in other to win Manchester City at Etihad, you must be quick to make goals from the beginning of the match and then quickly switch to defensive style including the center forward, they defended for the rest of the minutes after Rodrigo gave them first goal in the 12 minutes of the game, that lame excuse for people calling this a luck. Real Madrid only recorded 8 shots compared to Man City, but this shows how great Anceloti's intelligence is by applying strategy to his players, even the penalty kick taken by Real Madrid was successful in bringing them to the semifinals and eliminating Man City, which is something to be proud of even though Man City is a strong club. in attacking but intelligence and experience are very important in delivering the right attack.
There is no way for any team to have much shot on target when they defended the whole minute. The only time the center forward make attempts for shortnon target is when they notice that Manchester City has change to attacking style and weren't paying much attention to defend, that's when they attack. This was why Gearlish had a yellow card for fouling Bellingham when they had no man left to defend because he was about to attack and score. |

You watch Real Madrid Match and Manchester City right? Anyone would have bet that Manchester City would have win that game, not even draw under 90 regular time but you seen how Real Madrid defended throughout and eventually kickout Manchester City in the penalty ground, a lot people will say it was luck but it's because Real Madrid did their best, their is nothing as luck in football sport and their is nothing like luck in gambling, if it happen that you didn't expect it's because the players made it happen.
Anyone can predict that something that has low probability of occurrence to occur and when the day comes, it might turn out to have high probability. If other people predicted that it will happen, then it happen and it goes as they predicted and it happen because the team made it happen and nothing like luck, had been the team didn't make much attempt, it wouldn't have happened in the first place.

with Manchester City's performance which I think is always optimistic, I think they can overcome all the teams that will face them, including Tottenham who you said will be a problem for them, I'm sure Manchester City can overcome it well even though it won't be so easy. The luck is with Manchester City because Arsenal and Liverpool, who lost their last match, can still keep Manchester City safe in their ranking.
I think we need to see what each of these top 3 big buys outcome will be tomorrow. If Manchester City win their match, I think they still have high chance of becoming the Champions with 5 more games to go but you see Arsenal and Liverpool, if any of them lose their tomorrow match, then their journey for the battleship of the league title will come to an end because Manchester City will be given them 5 extra point difference which will be very difficult to cover. With their point difference which can be said to be thin, there is a possibility that Manchester City could be shifted from the rankings but I think with their remaining matches they will be able to overcome the teams that will face them. because I think currently Manchester City is performing quite well.
There is possibility but only if Manchester City fuck up their next game and we both know that team wouldn't allow such to happen, they wouldn't not after losing Champions League, they will bag the remaining FA cup and Premier League to ease their disappointment on Real Madrid but if football happen, then Liverpool and Arsenal might have a chance but it's low chance for them honestly. |

I don't understand why a father will be gambling right in front a child that is doing birthday, that's very wrong and the timing is wrong too. Doing that beside a minor will make her learn the same thing the father is doing and remember that children knows everything parents do around them and now that we are in computer age with androids phones everywhere.
Have you paid a lot of attention to the details of this case, and do you have a lot of experience and knowledge about the kids? What is that birthday you are talking about? That little baby turned 6 months only, and this is just a tiny achievement in her and their lives. Do you celebrate such "half birthdays"? Or maybe you celebrate end of each month of your life? And do you really believe that this 6 month old child is going to remember that one day? If yes, then what did you get for your first birthday? Hope you have your answers  |

Eliminating Man City from the Champions League is a big threat to Arsenal and Liverpool in the title race especially as they both dropped point in their last matches to give Manchester City the lead. This time, City will be very focused and will be willing to win all their remaining matches in order not to lose the Premier League title again this season.
Manchester City aren't the only serious team removed from the Premier League I think, Arsenal was serious against Bayern Munich but luck wasn't on their side like the way it was on the side of Real Madrid to Manchester City and right now, they don't have any league to fight in again except for Premier League, 2 points might be more work needed but nothing is impossible right. Even Real Madrid was able to win Manchester City in Etihad for the first time in the Champions League. Arsenal can still do this job if they at dedicated. There is still hope for them them, Manchester City might drop points either because they are also not perfect and relegation zone teams are always eager to spoil points, they can make things look difficult whenever they play against big teams: therefore, if Arsenal and Liverpool can be consistently winning their matches, they can also get chance.
I'm looking forward to what teams like Tottenham and Nothingham forest will do to Manchester City, this teams especially Nottingham has a way they fustrate city in most of their matches, if they can keep them slower, I think Arsenal and Liverpool might still stand a chance. I will prefer Liverpool to win the Premier League than Manchester City in case Arsenal failed to deliver. |

It was actually from a game he booked against the weekend that had him that morale to had projected this weekend hangout amongst us and it was not that he had secured the money to be assured.
As a matter of fact, he was nowhere to be found all through the weekend and could not even take his calls because he felt messed up of himself for the false promises.
While time passes by, you can imagine how he narrated the stories and felt remorseful of being a d!ck head as the game failed him as predicted.
Been there and done that but the promises I made was to myself and not to anyone, it's ridiculous to for any gambler to try to sell a bird that is yet to capture, that's like giving yourself a false hope that will not end well, what you should do in a situation like that if you have a potential ticket that you know is coming home but probably has two or more games remaining, it's better to cashout half and leave the half if you need that money badly, don't rely on such games when you need the money to sort out somethings. Another thing is that, such type of games should remain within you, making it public wouldn't help the situation either. I know of high stakes bookies that stake huge amount of money, when they have such type of games with 2 games left and a very big amount of money, they don't bother to post it online because there are situations that if you are a big gambler and gamble millions, there is probability that your game might be manipulated and your tickets will lose, I have seen many of them in local leagues. Not a good idea to even be telling people that you are expecting such a big amount of money in the first place for safety. |

I think now is a good time for Salah to leave because his physical form is still very good and in a new place he can show himself at a top level. The Saudi League has progressed significantly and now it is not enough to be a big brand - you have to work hard and bring real benefits. If Salah gets there with the right timing, he will be a very respected player, if not, then maybe the story with Benzema will repeat itself.
I don't think Salah is that old but he is not that Moh Salah that everyone used to know even as the club is sitting among the top 4 in the Premier League or maybe it's because PR is not going to his places again and it might also be as a result of voicing out about war, you know when you are been love world wide and you decide to speak as a human right supports, some people tend to hate you and they hope you he canceled for trying to support humanity. Who knows if Saudi Arabia will be changing the ways they buy players from Europe, unlike last season this time we have been seeing push of players from different club even as the season is not near end but right now, we 6 weeks away from the end of the season and no reasonable speculations about any players yet. I see the likes of Neymar hasn't been useful since he went there, he has been treating injuries upon injuries perhaps why things might change this time around. |

I watched the match and it was noticeable that the red card greatly affected Barcelona's efficiency, despite its brilliant performance with only ten players. It was clear that Barcelona became disorganized after Araujo left due to exclusion.
This was a dream come true for Paris Saint-Germain to achieve excellence and qualify for the next league. The goal difference was not very wide, however, and all analysts in sports publications, in addition to club experts, confirmed that PSG would have been far from winning this victory had it not been for the fatal foul that caused Araujo's elimination. The same analysts confirmed that Barcelona's chances of winning would not have been diminished by the exclusion of one player, regardless of his position or performance, if the opposing team had not been PSG.
If it was Ina normal league, perhaps we could say that Barcelona would have manage to hold that pressure coming from PSG but this is Champions League we are talking about and not just ordinary game, it's a quarterfinals on second leg, there is no way Barcelona would have absorbed that pressure despite playing defensive style through out the match, though Xavi wasn't happy with the Referee decision, he felt cheated but I think that's what all coaches do when they fail to win. Right now, we have 4 teams from different leagues and not a singl team from Premier League, and yet Premier League fans always feel like they are the best and other teams are from farmers league but look at them, not even Manchester City was able to tight down Real Madrid in the penalty shout out, they had all the confidence to beat Real Madrid but the penalty humble everyone as no one can be perfect when it comes to penalty. |

I think majority of people who are addicted to gambling is because they do not understand gambling as beginners, the rules and the side effects of playing gambling excessively.
I think if gambling companies can help to giving beginners to understand gambling and addiction it will help and reduce the rate at which people get addicted o gambling, I mean good lesson for people to get understanding. Or do gambling companies benefit from gamblers who are addicted, which the awareness of getting addicted can affect their business?.
Understanding gambling is a big lessons that every beginnerd actually need and been able to navigate through the emotional manipulation of gambling is another thing. We have different mindsets you know and trust, not all of us can handle the pain of losing and it's the ability to quickly heal and absorb loses that makes us a better gambler and not turn to an addict playing gambling but not everyone has this quality of looking away when they loses. Not been looking away makes them remember past losses. The level I'm right now I understand gambling to some extent but if I have the opportunity to be a beginner again, I will make sure that I used demo to manipulate my emotions with losses to be able to see if I can handle it, if I do that successfully, that's when I will have the full confidence that yes I can now gamble and I can do everything with gambling but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be careful with the way I stake, management remain number 1 priority. |

I also believe that everyday gambling is the fastest way to gambling addiction, so I try to limit the frequency of gambling to one or two gambling sessions per month. I am quite enough, because during this time you can feel the longing for the process of gambling and make money that will not be offended to lose.
Of course, like many other gamblers before I could gamble for several days in a row, but now I consider it unacceptable for myself, in principle as well as for other gamblers.
That's not just a fastest way to gambling addiction, that's a fastest way to losing all you have achieved in life. Why would anyone even think of gambling everyday like you have no serious life to live, you have other life outside gambling and perhaps have a job so you don't spend the whole week gambling without achieving anything. If gambling daily is only way to make money from casino, we would by now see a lot of reviews online on how profitable daily gambling are but we don't see any of them. Put health challenges into consideration, you will get to a point that you will start to think nothing but gambling and nothing else will matter to you again. People that are addicted to gambling today always think that gambling to make money is easy that's why they don't like to work and it become stick on their head. I can't imagine dealing with that all through your life thinking gambling will make you rich. |

Manchester City 0-1 Real Madrid 15 minutes
The Real Madrid team took the lead in the 12th minute of the match by Rodrygo's goal. The players of both teams are playing well. From the start of the match, both teams were attacking and trying to score goals. Real Madrid's defense is very organized today. So while Manchester City's players can create several good attacking chances, they are capable of scoring goals.
In the first match we saw 6 goals from both teams. Many goals are likely to be scored in today's match. Because both teams' attacks are strong. I expect a good performance from Haaland in today's match. We don't see better performances from Haaland in important matches. Haaland did not play well in the previous match against Madrid.
Rodrigo made a quick goal for Real Madrid, first attempt was save and he was lucky he didn't leave immediately ND then the second attempt went through for Real Madrid and immediately, Manchester City became super attacking in all the angles but Real Madrid is still defending tightly but I will not lie to you, the pressure Real Madrid is having at Etihad is high, their ball passes is superb and they don't play up ball, this is exact opposite of what Real Madrid is playing. I don't know why Anceloti didn't attach Rudiger to Haaland but that guy seems very dangerous, he is free today and I haven't seen much support coming to him, Guardiola was smart today to change their ways to penetrate though Real Madrid without doing much work but even then Lunin is doing a great save to keep Real Madrid in the balance. I just hope De Bruyne doesn't spoil their plans so quick. |

This to me goes to show that no one is immune from addiction. Neymar may have largeley solved his money problems but still he doesn't seem to be able to control his time spend gambling. Therefore he's seen utilizing his time very recklessly, prioritizing playing the right cards over living these once in a lifetime precious moments the best he can. And if a multimillionaire can get addicted in this way, anyone can. Consider this before spending too much of your precious time gambling. Put some limits and enjoy responsibly!
Neymar is a human being just like everyone who like casino games and gamble when they like, he just happen to have fame and a celebrity to many and also a brand ambassador to many products but I see him as a normal person and he really need help. I don't understand why a father will be gambling right in front a child that is doing birthday, that's very wrong and the timing is wrong too. Doing that beside a minor will make her learn the same thing the father is doing and remember that children knows everything parents do around them and now that we are in computer age with androids phones everywhere. I just hope he doesn't go broke because he loves women and party and now another addiction of gambling, this is the fastest way to finish his life investment but since Saudi Arabia are given then bunch of money without doing anything, that's understandable. |

I don't believe PSG will reach the UCL championship maybe they will be stuck until the final and lose that match; this is my own opinion about PSG whatever the result is it could change....
Broadly speaking Dortmund is a balanced opponent for PSG and I dare say PSG is more above it maybe PSG's chances of qualifying are still quite large compared to other clubs.
The scenario that I am sure of in the future - If PSG is in the final and meets between Real Madrid or Manchester City then I have confidence that this team will win, we know how the game statistics of this team are much better than PSG.
But we never know every team will try to reach the level they want, so the ultimate goal is the final and the champion.
Did we expect Barcelona to have red card yesterday? That's a no but Ronald Araujo was given one else Barcelona would have dealt with PSG yesterday but I didn't expect that to happen. This are the kind of things we don't expect from football, don't think PSG lucj is over here yet. Real Madrid once had the same luck that year and scale through the hands of PSG and Manchester City until they reach final to beat Liverpool, don't think PSG can't established the same football in this phase of Champions League. Dortmund vs PSG is not that easy to predict, it's already known fact that PSG will go to the final because Dortmund is wouldn't stop them. Dortmund has only be lucky, Atletico played well but fall out in the second half in defenses, I'm not sure PSG will fall for such kind of game that easily. |

I don't know why we keep having the same challenge every season of always fallen from the top, i don't know what is wrong with arteta what kind of strategy he adopts because the strategy he uses does not work and we still have other big clubs to play, still wondering playing them will look like especially playing Manchester united and Chelsea those are the two clubs am worried about and if we can win wolves then we are bouncing back to the top and it is not about going to the top anymore can we sustain staying in that position we have gone pass all this level of topping and coming down. and Manchester city will want to keep up with there play now, and this is one of there tricks they using in winning people. the reason is clear big teams look down on small things and the end result is not usually funny.
Arsenal is such a team I respect so much but I have come to a conclusion that it is always difficult for them to handle pressure. This is what Manchester City and Guardiola has mastered very well, he knows how this work and it's very easy for him overcome even other desperate teams that want to get into top at all cost. You see this place Manchester City are right now, there is no any team that will over take them again, not even Liverpool is taking this title. At this stage, Arsenal should not give up but they should also not think it's achievable, this is a very tight place they are right now. If I'm Arteta, I will give all I have in beating Bayern Munich to win further to the semi final than chase Premier League, if it was Liverpool that was ahead my confidence for pushing forward wouldn't have died like this. |

While we are so comfortable about the potentials of the decentralized digital currencies such as the Alt and the Bit coins and its centralized exchanges in the blockchains, let's also understand that the Fiats has an advantage over it that you'd have somewhere to go to and someone to hold responsible in some cases that your fund in the bank is tempered by a theft or otherwise than that of Crypto that it's transactions is operated anonymously
Everything is life is not so balanced are when you're dealing with the sweetest parts of it, we fails to consider the bitter side of it.
You are mixing somethings together. Banks and Bitcoin doesn't have common ground, one is decentralized which is Bitcoin and the other is centralized which are the banks. Bitcoin doesn't need anyone to help processed your transaction, it's decentralized without a middle person which means you are the sole perron who is in charge and the boss of your transaction and nobody, I repeat nobody can stop your transaction from going through. However, the banks can do and undo, they can freeze even the money that has been sent because they have the authority and the government backing to hold any funds they are suspicious about and heaven will not fall if they hold your money. Now, with this will still compare Bitcoin to banks and see advantage on them? Helping a transaction means you made a mistake and in Bitcoin, there is no room for mistakes and that's why you need to be very cautious when sending transactions across Bitcoin, you need to check the receiving address so as not to make any mistakes as Bitcoin is not reversible Most of us as at times thought about how Crypto could dominate over financial exchange for payments without considering this certain advantage of the Fiats and also considering that most persons still lives a primitive live to cope with the digitalities of advancements.
The only advantage I see around Fiat is because they help us in local transactions and people that can't use the internet for transaction or can't run digital transactions, other than that I see nothing special about fiats that you are taking about for people. |

What is next?  Nothing next. If at all Isreal and Iran strike is what made crypto to crash, I bet you that Bitcoin wouldn't have sit down in the $64k recovery because it was quick and people are still interested in buying and beside, this is not the first time mini war has been happening between these countries, Ukraine, Hama&palestine and Russia and Israel has been on war since 2023 and Bitcoin least care about what they have been doing. I just think that it was think correction was due and selling of the news since halving is just 5days away and this news just escalated the drop of the coins. If this fight is affecting the market, I'm not sure Bitcoin will be around where it's right now, but we can comfirm this after the halving because we will see that Bitcoin will drop futher and settle around the $53k region because there is going to be a divergent in the weekly zone of Bitcoin chart which will indicate more sell pressure before we start the real bull run and you will see that all this news will even pump Bitcoin more because Bitcoin is what people need during war and not stock that is political controlled. |

Is this good advice for those who can't afford a hardware wallet?
Using a Bitcoin Electrum wallet or other, disconnect from the internet before generating a new seed and never connecting to the internet again.
Until you are ready to sell everything in that wallet.
Is this practice similar to using a hardware wallet? This advice came from a man I know who said to have been keeping his BTC since 2013 in the same manner, he said the internet/online is the culprit or enemy of every crypto wallet.
I want you to listen good. Using a hardware wallet doesn't mean you are 100% protected from scam or fraud or hack, the hardware wallet actually break down the probability of then getting to you because there is no internet connection to you but your own activity is what matter, you can still be careful and no scammer or hacker will get you or you can still be careless and hacker will drain your wallet or even your seed phrase carelessness and not properly backup can make you lose your coins and funds. As for using electrum too, I wouldn't advice you that the practice is safe, you can be careful and noyhing will happen to your funds but it's not as safe like the hardware wallet. If you the amount of Bitcoin you are buying is in large amount, I will advice you to get a hardware wallet or Alternatively get a air gap device for better storage and make sure you also make a proper good use and care for it else you are as good as using a software wallet. |

It happen with all and it can happen with Current ones
e.g the last one KuCoin like 7 Days ago two of its founders were charged with violating anti-money laundering laws by U.S.
Be smart and keep your assets SAFE always use a Cold Wallet Your Keys Your Coins
Does this concern you ?
If users deposit money into an exchange and that exchange keeps the user money and don't tempered with it, how will that exchange ever fail? It's like given somebody money to hold for you and when the time is right that you need your money back, they give you exactly how you you gave them and everything settle. As for the exchange, they benefits when you want to withdraw because they charge you more than they asked you for withdrawals and also gains from fees. The exchanges that we see collapsed most often tempered with customers money and when something goes wrong, they don't know a way out because nobody will help them out with the money, not even a fellow exchange will want to lend them because they don't have money on their own in the first place, it's all customers money and given it out will jeopardize their trust with customers as well. When exchange put greed before anything, they will likely fail. |
