You are one of the few I have seen that was not biased about the Real Madrid and Manchester City match, you are neutral and that is what I expected from other Manchester City fans that have been fueling City all this while. I think De Bruyne is playing that match, no way Manchester City will want to risk that without Haaland's assist, so they managed to still slot him to assist pressure Real Madrid, that's why I'm also optimistic about Real Madrid to either win or draw.

Who knows if they will win this Leg and return back to Laliga and go back to where they sit in second place, I know they have not been consistent but they are unpredictable with their moves, especially in hot matches.

If they like, they can improve the stake to 5, it's their thing to make money but the fact that Real Madrid is having some shake up in their domestic League doesn't completely make them vulnerable in this match, they won Copper del Ray in their last match as well, that is a good result and all the squad is completely set for the match. as for Milan and Intern, it is understandable and people doesn't give much interest in them, any of them that qualify for the final will either be removed by Real Madrid or Manchester City.


You are right about that but from the group stage, Real Madrid has more points than Manchester City because they win more of their matches than them, and despite City having less tough teams, Haaland scores more goals in matches with teams that are not in form but Madrid as a collective effort and if not that Barcelona was eliminated earlier, Lewandoski would still be the one leading with highest goal scored.

Seeing your post made me remember a quote tweet that Erik Teng when Ronaldo left Manchester United when he said with him or without him, the club is prospering and no player is bigger than any club, he was clearly mocking Manchester United and Erik Teng but all this while Manchester United was having a good time in 3rd place, he was quiet as an introvert, but regardless of what Manchester United has seen, they don't have a place in the first place, that spot is lost long ago but the energy Liverpool has displayed recently is extra loud, perhaps since they lag behind with a match to meet Liverpool, they may be able to maintain the 4th lead or go back to 3rd place again.

Manchester United don't have any fixture with Arsenal for the rest of the season, it is only Chelsea I think they may face some difficulties to pass through in their next phase of match with Chelsea but at the same time, don't get disappointed if they trashed them as usual.

The number of goals conceded I noticed too, last season when they took the trophy, the number of goals conceded wasn't more than 31 in total for the whole season but this season is already 32 and some matches are yet to be played, that shows that Real Madrid has been unserious, the last time they had something similar with this number of conceded goals were 2018/2019 and they ended in the third, they are simulating this pattern this season.


I don't think defenders are only the problem, the forward has also relented on the goals they score. Rodrigo was fair but Vinicius and Benzema decline this season. No players come close to the number of goals Benzema had last season, even in the Champions League but look at what they are playing this season, they played as if they weren't the ones that made us proud of Spain last year.

It is so sad that the mempool is full every hour with large numbers of uncomfirmed transactions when halving is not here yet and this is getting out of hand, the miners are not even giving any priority to lesser fees with low priority or maybe I'm part of the people who don't get lucky yet to get my transactions to verify, and what I don't understand with the mempool this time around is that, in the night and weekends, they are usually lower but yesterday been Sunday was different, the fees were higher and the night was even worse, this made me think these BRC20 tokens are nonsense spams and ddos attack on the bitcoin network.

There is always an alternative, I still used Tron with USDT deposit, they are also slightly higher now since people are using them now as an alternative since the Bitcoin network becomes congested but they are manageable compared to Bitcoin.

I beg to differ, Juventus lost her last 2 matches last month and ever since then, the 3rd, 4th and 5th matches is the incredible result when you consider their last 5 matches and Sevilla also has been on a winning rollercoaster, so I expect this match to be very tough, it is possible that the match may end up in the first leg as a tie but the way the two of the teams are on form, I expect great match come next week.

Bayern Leverkusen and Roma are not still doing well in their domestic league and funny enough, Leverkusen is sitting at no.6 in their standing while Roma sits in no.7 place in their respectful leagues, very hard to choose the team that will make it out of this group in Europa but I have a big stake for Sevilla to win the league cup when they meet from a team in this group.

I'm a bit more concerned about Real Madrid than you do and I am more thrilled that won at the Copper del Ray 2 days ago, but concerning that experience, don't you think that Manchester City wouldn't have learned from the mistake they did last season? They had Real Madrid at hand last season and let them slip out of their fingers towards the end of the second leg match, I doubt if they will slumber again after that last embracement. Besides, Real Madrid doesn't give me confidence like the way Manchester City is doing, and when I say me I believe I speak for the rest of the people that Manchester City will beat them except luck thrivers upon Real Madrid.

Arsenal as a whole is very proud of their victory over Newcastle, if it hadn't meant anything to them, they would have given up on chasing the league title by now, but now, after clearing Newcastle in an away match, they are more determined to win the rest of the league, what they need now is to finish the rest of the match because Newcastle was the only challenging match I expected from them and they have won it, they should be able to trash Brighton, Nottingham Forest, and Wolves with ease.

Manchester City also has the advantage of having an outstanding match against Arsenal in their 35th played match, but they also have Champions League, and that match is very important for them, because if they focus too much on winning UCL this season, lord knows they will be exhausted, and perhaps Everton and Chelsea will do their thing, and maybe Lampard will be praised by City haters for not allowing Manchester City to lift the trophy this season.

How could you say it is not important for Real Madrid to finish the second place, they have lost the second place that has been given then peace to Atletico Madrid, and Real Sociedad they lost to in their last match is right below them with seven points, they need only 2 wins of matches to renew their hope of finishing third while Real Madrid fight to qualify for the champions League next year and it wouldn't be a good stepping stone for them in the next season.

It is such a pity that Real Madrid's performance has declined drastically, even the team they don't give chances is just making way through them to get 3 points, since they can no longer lift the Laliga trophy, they better lift Copa Del Ray otherwise they should expect any banter their fans push on them because they have not impressed me with what they have done this season.

It is not about being a favorite, the odd algorithm monitors all teams' performances and provides input on what each team deserves. Manchester City, for example, has been a beast in every match they have played; I consider them to have less odd than Real Madrid, which has not been consistent with winning matches, and as I'm writting, Sportsbet Odd has shifted a little to 3.2, and when you look at other bookies, they are slightly lower for both Manchester City and Real Madrid and that's because they are not using the same parameters.


As a smart gambler, it is not necessary that I must bet for either of the teams to have a straight winning, the odds are normal and it is enough to double any amount that is wagered on them but I wouldn't risk this, I rather choose a win or draw even if the odd is slightly lower for inter who doesn't yet have the record of recent Champions League trophy in their gallery.

I'm not happy for Chelsea, but at least the players have shown they are deserving of their weekly wages after receiving them for six solid weeks while contributing nothing to the team. But seriously, I'm not impressed; Bournemouth has been a team they routinely destroy in their previous matches, but their failures will cover that to celebrate their meager achievement. I also stand to be corrected, but Chelsea has not been in relegation, they were about to because before they won today's match, they were sitting in the 15th place below Bournemouth they just faced today.

Frank Lampard has achieved something great today, I hope he wins the rest of the matches otherwise he will remain the worst Interim/caretaker coach Chelsea will ever have, and not only that, but he also risks leaving the coaching of clubs, maybe national leagues will be where he will finally retire.

Anyone with Bitcoin knowledge would know enough that Fiat and Bitcoin are not related by ideology, not by principles or policy, the only thing they have in common is the means of settling debt, Fiat could depreciate after a long period of time while Bitcoin could depreciate for a short period of time if there is tension or any form of FUD but it can appreciate to beat inflation 10 times faster ahead of inflation, I think the topic should have been don't save money in Fiat, rather it should be in bitcoin.

The government will print because the system is designed in that manner, the policy of FED allows them to do that, they can go brrr on their machines anytime they like but Bitcoin protocols are static, you can't change the genesis code, the 1 million will remain 1 million in hundred years to come, that is how it will be till then, no proposal can nullify that rule of Bitcoin.

If we are to compare the money launder through cash and the money launder in Bitcoin, I'm sure that cash will win by a wide margin, so the idea of Bitcoin is used for money laundering is a misplaced discussion that is not necessary; also the opinion of people doesn't stop bitcoin from doing what it knows better. It will grow regardless of what you think, where you come from, and what societal position you hold. Instead of listening to what they say negatively about what Bitcoin is doing, you should rather don't give attention. If you want to buy Bitcoin or planning on how to buy, do and ignore the negative sentiments.

Lack of orientation is the problem, people now are days come with the common knowledge of Bitcoin and when their expectation doesn't align with the reality they saw with Bitcoin, that is when fear comes in and they start panicking. Your friend obviously doesn't have a proper guide about how Bitcoin works otherwise, he wouldn't be bothered about how the performance has been this year or how it will go this year, there is much in Bitcoin you can enjoy rather than just the usual buying and selling but adequate knowledge is what they lack.

You are also making it look like you are belittling your friend, I mean $30 is big money to some people and the fact that it is his hard earned money, you shouldn't make it look as if the guy didn't make an effort and besides, you have to try the little you can afford to lose so you don't regret later. Next time you want to introduce someone to crypto, tell them what they need to know, not the usual sugar coating and hype.

This is a humorous and smart question that necessitates a solid response. If your phone breaks, you should live the item and go fix your phone or hardware wallet, and I believe when you created a wallet, you have the seed phrase saved somewhere as a backup in case of something emergence like this, once your gadget is fixed, you can come back and pay for the item you want to buy, I think most places that accept Bitcoin as a means of payment usually accept payment before they give you their services due to network complication or anyone attempting to outsmart them, usually a block confirmation of payment will be seen first before they give you that item.

However, have you thought why your hardware or mobile phone will just break all of a sudden if you handle it with care? Learn to also take care and maintain your device with proper instructions, those precautions will also save you from this kind of embarrassment.

You can't run into a dipshit when you follow due process but of course, the unexpected does happen that is why risk management is very essential in every business. In any investment, as long as profit is made, that is not considered as an addiction. Even in gambling, they don't see the addiction of players until they start seeing losses in their games, that is the time you see frustrations, and inner pain becomes physical and the same goes with investments. Look at Tesla for example, they are not only into cars but other also into energy like solar energy and also space satellite as they now provide internet across the world and they are still investing in other sectors.

The essence of investment priority should be profit-driven whether they are investing annually, monthly, or weekly, as long as the money that is put into business yields profits at the end of the day, I don't see that as addiction, that is what the business was designed to do.

Nothing beats having an investment set aside for kids; when they are trained to understand what investment is, they will master it and continue the process for future generations, but there are personal dreams that everyone wants to realize and actualize before they die. Don't be shocked if the children you raise have little interest in the financial system; some will prefer a simpler life where they can put food on the table and appreciate nature; it always happen.



I enjoy this with the new Nigerian policy where most payments are now conducted digitally, and it has helped me curb my lavish spending, but adoption is yet immature; there is more work to be done here to encourage its adoption.


Having a single source of income is dangerous and risky because if the means become unavailable, you will have to find another job and bills will be piling up. It is best to always have another side hustle so that when one is unavailable, the other will be paying bills pending until you have another opportunity to slot in another one.

Is the statement in bold a guarantee or just another speculation about the price? I noticed that some forum members have wallet addresses displayed on their profiles, and it appears that these wallets belong to them because they have received several donations to those addresses. What intrigued me about these wallets was that, even when Bitcoin was trading above $50k last year, the owners did not move a single sat from their wallet. This made me wonder how long they intend to hold onto their Bitcoin in that wallet. Some of these individuals received their first Bitcoin as far back as 2014 and they are still holding onto it, this proves just how committed they are to the idea of holding and not selling their Bitcoin anytime soon.

I am not sure about what I will do if I end up holding a large amount of Bitcoin, but I have until 2028 to make that decision. When that time arrives, I will weigh my options and make a choice. However, I do hope to live long enough to see that year because death can come knock on the door unexpectedly. 

Hy dear Hhampuz, I would like my wallet address to be changed to bc1q208z6t29f6kg7nvjx64v03vwe35zszuvn0ldgw on the spreadsheet. Thank you

I comprehend the points you've raised, however, achieving Bitcoin dominance and adoption presents a challenge. To capture people's attention, accurate information about Bitcoin needs to be widely disseminated. However, the very things that Bitcoin opposes are also gaining popularity. For example, centralized exchanges are preferred over decentralized exchanges (Dex), making it difficult to convince people that the KYC and practices of centralized exchanges are detrimental to them in the future. From my perspective, centralized exchanges are no different from banks; one is just more dominant than the other and this presents a significant hurdle in promoting Bitcoin's adoption.

Allow me to throw back a question at you OP. You wrote about the benefits of using Bitcoin and advised people to abandon traditional banks. But, in light of government sanctions or opposition, what do you propose as a solution that can benefit both the government and Bitcoin adoption? We understand that decentralization is critical to the success of Bitcoin, but the government may not be in favor of it. Can you suggest a win-win solution for both parties?
