Copenhagen showed that it is not the weak team in Group A with its 4-3 victory. Manchester took a 0-2 lead, but Rashford's red card changed the balance of the match. In my personal opinion, if there were 10 men left, Manu would probably have won the match. In the other match, Galatasaray played well again, but could not take advantage of the positions it found in the first half. The match ended 0-0 until the 80th minute. Bayern took the lead with Kane in the 80th minute. The linesman made a review because he said he was offside. (According to Var's decision, the referee called the goal first and was examined once more during the kick-off. Again, the goal was decided.) The match between Galatasaray and Manchester in Turkey may determine the final shape of the group. If Manu is defeated, he will say goodbye to the Champions League in the group stage.
Man Utd loss against Copenhagen had pushed them to the bottom of the table thus with a very slim chance of qualifying to the next round, possibly a third position would qualify them for Europa league, obviously this is a woeful performance by the team against a lowly rated Copenhagen honestly Man Utd had not live up to expectations in UCL this season even in the premier league which could be attributed to the team lack of winning mentality and fighting spirit or possibly their players action was deliberate just to trigger the sacking of their manager Erik ten Hag of course he has to take part of the blame too, well the next few matches would possibly make the board and management of the club take a decision. And that's a decision the whole club fans will be waiting for because the saga that is happening inside the team is getting out of hand, it's almost as if all the players in the club are actually really for the coach ten hag and they have also been insight that he lacks proper and healthy relationship with his players which is actually the key to growing a strong and consistent teams in terms of winning games. |

Rashford is really not what they used to be as football player and it hurts to see him playing and acting like this during an UCL game + a very important game for his team. Now , I'm afraid United won't even get 1 point today and most likely they will concede another 2 goals in this 2nd half as long as we don't get to see political reasons being involved into into UCL football nights  . If Manchester United does not win against Copenhagen at home they will find it very difficult to qualify for the round 16 in the Uefa Champions League because I do not think they can beat Galatasaray at home easily. If Galatasaray loses to Bayern Munich this night and Manchester United manages to draw the match against Copenhagen, there will be a chance of United qualifying for the round of 16 because they will be on level point with Galatasaray. Their chances of qualifying is now slim and I think it's time for ten hag to face pressure in his position as the manager because things just keep getting worse and worse for two. Manchester united have suffered their second third loss if am not mistaking in this group of their and now it has just mirrowed down any chances of them qualifying for the next round. |

Well I like alot of altcoins but Ethereum is my favorite. I like Ethereum because there is a real use for it. I dont hodl so many of them but I do think in the next 'bull run' there is going to be some profits.
And I like its blockchain and that you can use Dapps on the blockchain. And it has large marketplace only behind Bitcoin. I do not like its high transactions fees but I do not send them very much.
I particular don't have any specific altcoins I will hodl dearly to me but I think I will do when the bull run has come because this is the only time when I get to actually choose an altcoin I will like to hodl because that period is going to be boom for some altcoins and you can certainly make lots of cash from them but for now I think I will go Ethereum too as they are the next close able coins after Bitcoin and I believe with time coming some much ground will be gained and enjoy for some folks actually HODLing this coin. |

I have been reading a lot of comments on the bad situation at Manchester United and fans seem to be pointing the finger at Erik Ten Hag. I don’t like ETH but Manchester United’s poor performances cannot be completely blamed on Erik Ten Hag, the board’s decision making in the transfer window has a role to play. Ten Hag is managing the club with the players at his disposal and I feel Manchester United needs to be more technical in their transfer dealings.
Manchester United's performance endured hardships as a result of disappointing performances caused by the players and the coach. Fans are dissatisfied at the manager stats and hoping he corrects his moves because he has failed to acknowledge a crucial aspect of the team's performance. They're having undesirable consequences and they don't seem to be returning to form anytime soon. Erik Ten Hag was a competitive coach for Manchester United, but he always had problems with his players, particularly Cristiano Ronaldo, which drove him out of Old Trafford. No matter how good you are as a couch, if you lack good relationship manner with your players you will not succeed in the team because without players, coach did not have anything to do, and the little players Manchester United have Ten Hag relationship with them is becoming an issue since from the time he started with Ronaldo and he succeeded in letting him leave the team, the same thing with Da Gea, now Jordan Sancho. I wanted supporting Ten Hag during Ronald's time, but his continuity in doing such act is my problem with him because this act is making Manchester United lose matches. Not only have blame the players especially Ronaldo as many people taught it was an excuse for him to release the pressure that was in the club at that time to excel and that his old age would actually stand as a weak point and barrier for the team but he certainly made sure that it wasn't the case for his departure as he is currently doing well in his new club and actually the top scorer now in the club for this season while ten hag continues to make problem in the camp and destabilize things in the club both inside and out the pitch. |

The most important rule I follow is that I never gamble in front of my kids or any other teenagers. With time and experience, I know the good and bad sides of gambling. They don't, and there is a big change, if they see us gambling, they might get inspired to gamble. Which I think can have a bad impact on their future. Because they are still young and immature. That's why it's a must follow rule for me. Another thing I don't do is gamble at my workplace. Work and gambling should not get mixed up. It's unethical and very unprofessional. Gambling should be for fun and only in our free time.
Gambling in front of kinds is a most no go area and as a matter of fact, gambling should basically avoid children this is so important to avoid possible future disasters waiting to happen in time, so to avoid that from happening one need to clearly separate gambling from kids until the grow to a certain age. This is why gambling in an environment that you feel is secure private to avoid involvement from family and friends, and also having a restriction to time yourself and your activities also at some point is most important too. Only an irresponsible gambler would actually gamble or do some other Ill habits around his kid because the mind of children at some age is really sharp and they tend to grasp whatever is going on around them and that's why at that stage is important we are always careful with what we actually exposed them to. Most young kid that gamble is actually as a result of the environment they grow up in because thats very important for the child development. |

Those newbies are right, on Bitcoin not much profit can be expected but with alts much more, they rise when btc rises (no matter how useless they may be, just existence is enough).
However, you are also right, stick to top altcoins and bitcoin. Top altcoins are nice balance between safety and profit, Bitcoin is ofc safer than all.
Altcoins can be a good source of investment only if you hold them for a short term because the probability of these altcoins dumping and leaving you in the blue is very high and that's why it's always advisable to go for a short term investment with altcoins especially when the market starts pumping because like what you said Bitcoin rise always influences and pushes other coins around it. |

Once a person is in that state it is very difficult for them to stop without any help, however even if their family members were willing to help them, it is unlikely they will actually listen as they are not going to believe they cannot recover the money they have lost, it is only once they have lost it all when they finally understand what they have done, but by that time it is too late and there are even some of their family members which will at the time want nothing to do with them as they will be incredibly mad at how irresponsible they were.
regret always comes later and that is what will be experienced by gamblers who have lost everything and they want it all to come back to them. and therefore before it is too late, a gambler must first realize that what they are doing is wrong. even though it is quite difficult to advise them, as the closest people of course we have to be able to give them advice, even in the end they will reject it, but no one can give them advice other than us, the closest people to them. An addicted person will hardly take your advice because what he seem to be doing will be always correct in his eyes and that because he is never content and the feeling to keep going is always driving him crazy. I kind of believe, the only way an addicted person can help himself is to find out the core cause and discipline himself because if it is only advice then I can bet my money that it won't be easy to stop it. |

El Salvador Bitcoin ATM network to receive Lightning Network upgrade .  picture source Athena Bitcoin, the company operating a state-owned chain of crypto ATMs in El Salvador, plans to integrate the Lightning Network into 100 of these machines in the next couple of months. According to a press release from Nov. 7, Athena Bitcoin Global and Genesis Coin have already enabled the use of the Lightning Network technology across their technology infrastructure and will now begin implementing it, first in El Salvador and then across Latin America. The Lightning Network is a layer-2 payment protocol that enables faster withdrawals and minimizes transaction fees. It also avoids recording the transaction data in the accounting of the main network. According to Coin ATM Radar, only 3.7% of the world’s crypto ATMs support the technology. Athena intends to switch to Lightning support at 100 of the state-owned Chivo ATMs it’s operating in El Salvador by December 2023. The remaining kiosks, including the Athena-branded ones, will follow in Q1 2024. There are currently 215 crypto teller machines in El Salvador. source This is certainly a good improvement, because it will certainly help and come in handy as the lightning is an alternate route to the solutions of the congestion and piled up transaction in the Bitcoin mempool which is caused by the use of the Bitcoin Blockchain to process payment of alternative coins like the pepe and meme coins. This congestion was experience recently this year when there was a sudden increase in value of these coins and the demand became high which caused clog and increase in price of Bitcoin.The Bitcoin lightning network is certainly a good intervention into the BATM in El Salvador. |

The price of $35k is not too high compared to the possibility that bitcoin could reach above $100k. There is still plenty of time to buy when the price drops but it depends on one's plan. Dip has provided the advantage of buying at low prices but there are still many people who don't want to use it. However, if they are willing to buy with their budget, they can accumulate more bitcoins.
Perhaps what is even the need of always waiting for the dip before accumulating when you that even if the price of Bitcoin dips we cannot even accumulate a reasonable amount of Bitcoin due to how small our investment portfolio is so I see know reason why price dip should be a determinant of how we can accumulate. Actually I'm not disputing the fact that buying the dip doesn't have an advantage but what I'm saying is that irrespective of what the Bitcoin price maybe be now shouldn't be a barrier to your plans of accumulating Bitcoin because just like we saw the price movement consistently on the uptrend this period there is every possibility of the price surpassing the all time high after the halving, however that's when you will realized that you had missed a great opportunity by not accumulating now. Yeah I agree with you on this taught because some of the folks here seems to make it look as If there is no other way to HODL or have an investment. Like you said strategic planning or set up of a specific amount from your earning can do the accumulating trick despite the fact that we don't lose track of what we are buying and keep to our plans of buying, we would be surprised to what we can achieve and what your portfolio will read during a long term investment but still note that the during major dips during this time of accumulating can be used as an upper hand to buy more thats if we can afford it to buy big during those period but buying or accumulating Bitcoin at a steady bases is far more easier than actually sitting and waiting for the dip to come before we make our move to buy. |

This issues isn't peculiar with the US alone, even in Africa, some countries have brought up issues against crypto currency which is mostly based on regulatory grounds. These countries wants to be fully involved in regulations of crypto currencies because some of them are scared it could be used for laundry and similar crimes, this has further led to some crypto company relocating to other countries where the policies are mild on them
My nation would be the perfect example of such country that wouldn't want Bitcoin to be legally used and I think the reason for this in my country is a bit different as I feel because of greed and so many other factors that amount to selfish reason is actually the cause for this rejection although the mass public has made sure that Bitcoin is certainly used to the level that its awareness cut across to everyone despite the refusal by the government. |

Everyone in the crypto space will be well aware of how Bitcoin is superior to altcoins but the fact still remains that altcoins are also important because not everyone do invest in Bitcoin as some people see altcoins as a means of gathering more profits if you hit the right one that pumps immensely but be aware that the negative effect of these altcoins is that they pump very fast along Bitcoin but dumps extremely faster and this can lead to loss of asset so there is always need for caution when acquiring one.
It cannot be denied that Bitcoin is better than altcoins, and certainly altcoins are also a complement to bitcoin. Altcoins are not always bad to invest in, some altcoins actually have strong fundamentals and many even make profits from altcoins in a short time, although there are also those who can experience significant losses from altcoins. But what is certain is that before investing in altcoins, always do independent research to minimize losses. In my opinion, the difference between altcoins and bitcoins is only one, there is no need to worry too much about saving bitcoins, but when you win altcoins, your heart races, especially new altcoins. LoL, your heart really races indeed because for every moment that passes you will be in shocked and scared on what might be the sole outcome of the results of your investment on the particular choice of altcoins you deem fit for your investment. I wouldn't argue with you that some altcoins are good for investment but the issue is that how can one identify such altcoins that wouldn't cause or put you through such stress when investing in them. |

As expected Manchester city are really cruising in this game as haaland has made it three goals to nothing and with the way the game is going I think he is certainly going to go for the hat trick. Manchester city have started evolving once more and with this current form , I think it will be difficult for any team to match and beat them but although I feel the los Blanco's can try as that team is also certainly on another level with the inform wizard Bellingham but for that match to play out we will have to wait for them in the knock out stages.

The child board wey we need pass na off-topic child board, too many topics wey dey our local board na off-topic and e dey make the board look somewhat "bad" for eye. Normally Nigerians like to dey discuss about politics and we can see that fact for our local board, because politics matter choke, so if we go fit get another child board, e suppose be for politics, we fit call am "politics and naija matter". If we fit get these child boards e go make sense, our main board go come be for discussions about Bitcoin and crypto matter.
My brother you are correct and I have also visited the main thread link posted by the OP and I think the suggestions there is not far fetched from what we are actually discussing here although many other people seems to think we should first ask for implementation of local board moderators but I have cleared most person's that its also included on the list of things our local board needs to flourish. Weda them like or not our local board has come to stay and we working on it for our betterment is the only option we have and good members like agbe, Charles-Tim, brainboss, igebots and many more have done to tackle these issues or recent post spam that is flooding the local board. |

If the board is spam, it will be muted, locked. Locals can continue their spamming before the board is locked.
Use report to report spam posts because it's responsibility of local members who ask for the local board.
The board is in English and global moderators, current moderators who can use English can moderate it. All moderators in Bitcointalk can use English well and all of them can do this.
What are you saying mate, I don't think you have surf the naija local board because if you have then you would know that the board is one of the most promising in terms of quality posters and more over there are lots of other board in which lots of spamming and abuse of merit is going, where someone is showered lots of merit for a shit post of just saying a welcome or introduction message. If you do browse other local board then you will be surprised to what you would see but that being said , this thread is for request of child board and moderator just like every other local board has and I think you should stick to it and again not everyone speak and pass information in the local board in fluent English as I believe you will be familiar with what is called pidgin English or "broken English" as we call it here. |

In fact, just leading in ball possession does not guarantee win. Because, even though in the first half Barcelona had better ball possession, but in reality Barcelona didn't have any shots on target at all. Meanwhile, Shakhtar Donetsk had 2 shots on target in the first half and thus, it seemed natural that in the first half Shakhtar Donetsk managed to lead with a score of 1-0. But ya, there is still the second half and Barcelona can still score a goal back too and maybe, Barcelona still has a chance to win in this match too. Because, if for example Barcelona fails to win this match, then Barcelona still has to do better to ensure they win Group H and that's not easy. Barcelona had difficulty creating opportunities because Shakhtar's defense was very tight. Barcelona tried long balls, but that didn't work for them either. This kind of defensive strategy often makes things difficult for Barcelona, especially when the opponent is 1 goal ahead. I'm not sure Barcelona lost this match because however they could have pressed better and forced Sakhtar's defenders to make mistakes. Barcelona must avoid defeat and maintain their best form, but to be honest this is a difficult match and makes the players feel frustrated. There's still time and I'm sure the equalizer will come soon. With the looks of things, it seems shakhtar donest are going to secure an expected win tonight although I will like to commend them for their brilliance and with what they have done in terms of their discipline and it's also because that Barcelona has not been their selves tonight maybe because they underestimate shakhtar that's why their game play hasn't been at the very best but that been said I think Barcelona won't even get the obvious draw tonight because its the 90+ mins already and shakhtar are still looking head strong to secure the three points. |

I personally believe that putting good systems in place helps mentality, even if things might not go in your preferred direction, if you have good systems in place, including being both financially and mentally prepared for either price direction, and you are able to act upon movements in either direction, then your ongoing actions in light of anything that happens are likely going to contribute towards your being (and feeling) mentally stronger.
A good plan or as you would put it "a good system" is the only way that one can get his holdings secure and avoid certain drama's and distraction that might lead to tempering with his holding, although such drama's are inevitable in life so only a good system can help you evade or adjust so that much effect won't be on your side. But I would also like to point out that setting a good system isn't just going to cut it as one would still need a certain amount of discipline to actually execute or make this system active because I believe most people lack discipline in sticking to the actual plan and that's the main reason for many Bitcoin investor actually not holding till the end but a good system helps limit the amount of self discipline because a good plan and a keen mind is what is needed as a Bitcoin holder. |

I'm sure there's a free use policy on images posted on the Internet and if I recall correctly, if the person that has taken the photo explicitly stated that they don't want it to be used by other people then that's when the plagiarism starts to be an issue and it's mostly being done by professional photographers there's a famous case of that iirc although it was amicably settled, I think it was a picture used by a YouTube music video which a lot of people loved and the video got taken down for copyright on the picture. In this forum, I think that it's going to be difficult to get accused of image plagiarism so you don't need to worry OP.
Well, you may get away with posting random images on this forum but this does not mean that you won't be accused of image plagiarism. Let me tell you that if you ever participated in any art contest, and try to get an image from the internet and tell that this is your submission (your artwork), then you may be in trouble. Similarly copying anyone else work and presenting it as yours in some sort of competition, may get you tagged, if not banned. So, you need to be careful and it really depends on which context the image is copied and posted on the bitcointalk forum. That's very correct mate, because I have seen some art contest here in the forum that people actually went as far as to copy or use images of others and although they weren't tag or banned but I believe they were automatically removed from the contest and I know the community will put a close eye on such user of not even tagged for such act. Image plagiarism will not get you banned but be sure that someone here can tag you for involvement in this act especially when you use to cheat in the community contest. |

I have often wondered about the people who have lost a lot in gambling and who almost loose in every gambling activity they participate. What is their reason or motivation to continue even after so many losses?
You would be surprised what hope and faith in the system can do to many gamblers. Most gamblers whether they lose on a daily basis still believe that for every try they can hit a big win and that's why many people still play gambling even if they continue losing although I believe it's not possible for someone to never have actually experienced a win through out his time of gambling even if it's a small amount of winning and that one win can do alot of things to the mind because he will believe that he can acquire it once more no matter how frequent the losses are coming. |

Nice translation OP. But you know some people are good with this trading and again in as much as we know holding is good there other little things people can do to earn small small as they hold.
What do I mean, some can try using Spot trading? Where you can buy low and sell high. This trading is very much ok for those who are not always available to trade and also if we talk about holding, we should know that buying at a low price is more advantageous than buying at the top when others are selling. I do all sha and most times use smart trend to help me know what I'm doing
If you don't have money to buy and HODL then you can trade but here they are trying to tell us an important of HODLing, when we HODL bitcoin go com dey scare and that will allow the price dey raise go up and the demand too go increase, trading only benefit individual while HODLing benefits the entire market and every body wey dey involved. Some can use Spot trading yes, but it involves buying and selling which is mostly used by day traders but you will gain little profit, I will advise you to go for HODLing for you to benefit huge advantage wey bitcoin took to appreciate in future. Even if you comot the part say holding dey make Bitcoin scarce sef we need to understand something about actually holding and trading your coins for profits, the two things are different because with one there is probability and with the other there is certainty just that time is a major factor to the second one. If you are a trader then the chances of you actually losing coins is there because there is no guarantee that on your every try it will come out successful same thing as gamble, that's why many people actually tag it as an advance form of gambling while with holding there is certainty that your profits is going to come only that there is a time factor because holding of coins for profits is tied to how the market cap price value so it's depends on your patience to HODL till the market becomes favourable, for me HODLing is more preferable because the certainty is there already. |
