Some news:

Conte is almost done to Napoli, they will sell Osimhen and probably go for Lukaku as new striker.
Inter Milan is interested in 2 Aaron Wan-Bissaka, from Manchester United.
Vincen Kompany as new coach of Bayern Munich.
Replacing Osimhen with Lukaku is like replacing Ronaldo with Mudryk.

Wan Bissaka is quite good in Manchester United and currently they're lack of defenders, hope they can able to sign more quality defenders.

Vincent Kompany to Bayern Munich, we will not see Bayern Munich get back their glory in the next season.

Antonio Conte is probably doing a great during his regime in the English Premier League and also having top flight moment in the Seria A.
Conte only successful with Chelsea for one season, when he joined Tottenham, he can't bring Tottenham to become a champion.
Lukaku will fit the league, that's an under team compared to any premier league team, like when he later reunited with Chelsea he couldn't perform too well. Napoli are already having bad games already, that shows it is no actual fault from the striker because we all know how competent Osimhen is when In front of the goal keeper, let me believe that Lukaku is a good replacement, with his level of experience he should succeed there.

Manchester United letting go of Wan Bissaka is at their own detriment, this guy has been very much outstanding compared to other defenders in the team, his energy, composure ability to give good defensive tackles in matches is on another whole level.

Yes, it's quite true that romelu lukaku is not an upgrade to victor osimhen, but he is actually a reliable replacement if eventually victor osimhen leaves Napoli during this summer transfer window, though and no a fan of this decision of victor osimhen being sold, because I believe that he has what it takes to improve any team in the world, but if this news of of him wanting to moving out the club is correct, then I believe that a reliable replacement is around the corner in Romelu lukaku, but as long as it's Antonio conte that is in charge of this Napoli team, I am very much confident that they wouldn't struggle next season, because he is a top level coach and he has proven himself capable of improving any team he has managed, so I believe that Napoli will be definitely be ok next season.

And as for wan bissaka, I think it's not a good idea for Manchester united to sell him off, he is one of those players that is actually trustworthy, though he is not that attacking fullback that they wanted, but he is very good in defending his goal post, so I suggest that they let him stay, because they will definitely need his marking ability during the cause of next season.

you must have an alternative source of income by which your bitcoin investment can only be fertilexbti yield profits when you invested and doesn't panic it to grow else he may end up selling his bitcoin at lost having me to be blamed.

the dividends of his bitcoin assets would had be reliable to him after much he may have made some profits from it.
This is not about alternative source of income, but how much money he can set aside to invest which will not affect his monthly spending, this is why people who want to invest something need to have emergency funds.

If he only have one job that pay really well, he don't have to looking for alternative source of income.

Bitcoin never produce any dividend, if Bitcoin can produce dividend or generate more coins, it's clear you're hold your coins in centralized exchanges, holding in CEX is bad for security.

That's just it, I agree to your sentiment bro, you don't practically need another source of income for you to be able to invest in Bitcoin, what is actually mandatory is having a source of income that comes in regularly then I believe that you are good to go, because as long as you are paid weekly or monthly, the logical thing to do is to invest an amount you can do away without through the DCA accumulating strategy, with that, you can still sort out your monthly expenses, so with that method it would be must more easier to invest, as long as it's an amount you can do away without.

So I would advice that your cousin to first of all look for a job, then after that, depending on how much he is being paid, he would have to remove like 10% or 15 % from it as long as it's an amount he can do away without, with that, I believe that he can start his accumulating journey till he is quite ok with the stash of Bitcoin in his possession.

But at this time there is to much crap being created and to many collections of just some dumb shit etc
Just too much of it especially for NFTs
I've been thinking about what could be next highly  priced items
Maybe an Art of  the first commercial  transaction  that made btc well known till today.... The Pizza BTC art could  be made in a dynamic way  
In the future more painting and more artwork from Bitcoin will certainly come up and people will spend reasonable amount of money in just having it for themselves. The other day, kylian Mbappé spent a whooping sum of £520,000 for a painting of king pele of Brazil. https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2024/kylian-mbappe-spends-e520000-on-a-painting-of-pele/
As time goes on, people will always spend good amount of money for something they have passion for or can identify their passion with. You and I can actually put up a nice painting of Bitcoin logo that can be eye capturing with all the aesthetics, and we decide to auction it online for people to bid for it, don't be surprised we will see somebody that will be ready to spend a fortune just to get that piece of artwork in his house.
It’s obvious people get attracted to what they love and want but I don’t see myself spending a huge amount buying what’s not valuable or what will not yield profit within a long period of time. Let’s just say wealthy people will buy without looking at the price tag or the value but we should not expect everyone to do same like buying a low value stuff with a huge amount of money.

So far so good, in the little knowledge I have gathered, I don't think this is just about attraction, remember that I have said it earlier that the rich thinks differently from an average person, so in this case, is either they sees opportunities that we aren't seeing right now or they just want to flex their financial muscle just to show off, and in doing so, they are very much confident that they wouldn't run loss, because if they feel it's no longer beneficial to them, they just sell it off to another guy crazy fellow, just to recover back their money.

And another thing that we just need to know is that the rich mostly care of their happiness, not how much they are actually spending, because having money is just a normal thing to them, so they don't rate money that much the way an average person does, so in essence of all this is that they are either doing it for their happiness, ego or they sees opportunities that we are not seeing now, so it definitely boils down to any of these.

I am pretty sure that they are going to perform even badly. I heard someone say that maybe Manchester United should just try and keep him for another season. It cannot be any worse right?
Everything turn out to become favorable for Erik Ten Hag this season. The Red Devils are doing everything within their capacity to match up the competitive race next season. Manchester United won Manchester City in the FA Cup final and this is another reason to boosts their confidence infront of winning, always aiming forward for the big winnings. Manchester United have players that keep relenting in matches and they've failed completely in doing their duties as determined players.

In my opinion, Manchester United's success in winning the FA Cup is worthy of appreciation. They had a very poor season, recording their worst finish and worst points in the Premier League era, but they could still end the season with a trophy. This is a big surprise, Erik Ten Hag has proven that he deserves to stay and can bring trophies to Manchester United.
This victory also led Manchester United to appear in the Europa League next season. However, will this trophy be able to save Ten Hag from being fired? Now Eric Ten Hag is still waiting for the club's decision regarding his future at Manchester United.

It's actually true that the performance of Eric ten hang hasn't been impressive in the immediate past season, but I believe that everyone deserves a second chance, and I also believe that he has earned the right to be given a second chance due to this trophy he won, remember that arsenal that has been doing well of late, challenging Manchester city for the title has gone two seasons now without winning anything, so I think Eric ten hang should be appreciated for this trophy he just led Manchester united to.

And another thing that I feels that have affect the manager generally is that he hasn't been given enough support by the hierarchy, those rumours of him getting sack every now and then affect him and it also reflect on the teams performance during the cause of the season, so I think that if he actually stays, he should be supported more this time around.
145  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: May 29, 2024, 07:22:06 AM
[edited out]
I think there are only two method that I know of which is lump sum buy and the DCA method. You mentioned buying the dip but this is also a lump sum buy that is done when price retraces after an upward movement. It is different from buying using the DCA method because it involves an instant order whereas the DCA is a continuous buying process that is done weekly or monthly as the case may be. Maybe there is further distinction between between buying the dips and other forms of buying that is done at once for which I consider less important so as to avoid memorizing too many things. Maybe for academic purposes, such distinction might even become necessary and there is nothing wrong about it.

A combination of both methods is possible but it requires someone with experience and discipline to do effectively. I will not recommend that for a newbie to avoid being emotional about the whole process, rather I will suggest focusing mainly on the DCA method that is easier to follow and produces outstanding results when followed dutifully. However, no matter what method is adopted, some level of effort is needed to be able to follow such method with a sense of responsibility.

Just because you do not recognize and/or appreciate the practicality of buying the dip does not mean that it does not have its place and/or benefits.

For example a brand new person could come into bitcoin right now, and he already knows his budget.  He has $9,400 that he can buy bitcoin, right now and he also has about $2,600 that is going to be available over the next six months.  So that is $12k over 6 months.

He could buy $9,400 right now at $68,300-ish, and then just DCA with the other $100 per week over the next 26 weeks, or he could set aside some of his $9,400 to be included in his DCA amounts or to set some of it aside for buying on dips. 

Let's say that he decides to lump sum buy right now $4,700 and then maybe he sets up 17 buy orders every $1k dip from $67k down to $50k, so each of them would be right around $276.50, and so they would be buying on the dip if they were to execute, and if they do not execute and the BTC price moves up rather than down, then maybe after a certain time, he might choose to remove those buy orders or maybe he moves them up. to higher prices (but they would still be buying on dips.. and whether that is practical or useful might not be agreed about whether that is a good idea rather than just lump sum buying and/or adding to DCA... and the mere fact that someone wants to employ that third technique makes it a valid technique even if it may or may not be one that is as effective as other techniques.. in part depending on what the BTC price ends up doing, which is not very knowable in advance.
Most users are quite becoming sceptical whether if the other approaches to investing are efficient just like the DCA approach. It is good if we justify the fact that any strategy implemented must become profitable to the investor. The sole reason for why strategies are discussed is to make it easier to accumulate in our convenience, maximize our profits by accumulating better amounts of Bitcoin and probably to those who are not financially booming.

If we are to look at most wealthy investors or firms on strategies at which they invest is through the DIPs, which doesn't makes it ineffective  to earn profits but it's a standard at which they find compatible. Everyone is entitled to his own pattern and most users who would understand the concept of bitcoin investment will know that all applicable strategies can be implemented on accumulating Bitcoin on one goal setting (the DIPs, lump sum and DCA all together) just like the example given by @Jay.

Yes, it's very much true that the DCA accumulating strategy is the best way of accumulating Bitcoin as long as you have a source of income, because those big financial institution that investment only when their is a deep, they mostly do that because they have the financial power to do so, but for an average person that doesn't have the financial power to pull such a move or make a very good purchase when their is a deep, his best approach is through the DCA accumulating strategy, because it's only through the DCA accumulating strategy that he can compete and have a very good stash of Bitcoin in his possession if their is consistency and will in driving his Bitcoin portfolio to a better level, so I believe that it's only the DCA method that give everyone an opportunity to compete with the bigger boys as long as accumulation of Bitcoin is concern.

Lastly, i believe that everyone is entitle to their own opinion, and their line of actions, but to me, I will go for a strategy like the DCA method that has proven successful and easy to carry out, and it also gives me a chance to have a very good stash of Bitcoin in my possession, on the longer run.

It seems much sooner than what had been predicted and yes Enzo Maresca will be Chelsea coach starting next season. The agreement includes a contract for 5 years or more precisely until 2029 as well as an extension option until 2030. I think Chelsea can't wait to see Enzo Maresca handle the Blues squad and they are ready to pay a compensation fee for Leicester.

Enzo Maresca is indeed quite an impressive figure because he was Manchester City's assistant with Pep Guardiola and this season he has brought Leicester back to promotion to the EPL and at the same time made Leicester champions of the Championship. Let's see what his journey with Chelsea will be like and of course he will build this squad from scratch.

Chelsea have agreed a long-term deal with their new manager. This shows that Chelsea are preparing for a long term restructuring. I think Enzo Maresca is a very good choice for the Blues who want to return to the old days. He has a successful coaching career and he could become a legend of Chelsea in the years to come. Enzo brought Leicester back to their feet and brought the disorganized club together. He can do the same at Chelsea. However, Enzo is outspoken and can be provocative at times with his statements. Chelsea fans might be surprised at first. Finally, if the Blues can translate Enzo's style of play into the game, they could be an ambitious team next season.
Chelsea always be give their manager long term contract and it proven from their previous managers contract where at that time Chelsea give 5 years contract to Graham Potter and 3 years contract to Mauricio Pochettino but in fact none of them can be works according to the contract duration which mean Chelsea always be sack them early if they unable to bringing Chelsea to reach the target and i think it similar will be happend to Enzo Maresca because if next season he unable to bringing Chelsea to performing well i am sure his position won't last long and replaced by other manager

What Enzo Maresca did at Leicester indeed is very fantastic because within one season he can makes Leicester City to return to the Premier League but he must be know Premier League is very different compared to Championship division because Premier League is one of the toughest competitions in Europa besides that Chelsea owner Todd Boehly will not accept failure which mean there's a lot of pressure when you're Chelsea manager but Enzo Maresca is really confident he can make Chelsea to performing well again and let's see if he can fulfill the target which given by Todd Boehly or not

This just shows how incompetent and clueless Todd boehly and his other colleagues are, how can you be giving him five year contract for someone that is largely unproven? Someone that doesn't even have a premier league experience under his belt, I am actually really upset the way the the new owners of Chelsea football club has reduced the club to an average club, and the hiring of someone like this that has no record and experience shows that this new owners of Chelsea football club is just looking for someone they will control and push around, and like this, I don't see Chelsea going anywhere in the nearest future.

And another thing that is actually going to be a major problem in this Chelsea team is not just interference, but lack of experience in the team,  they need to recruit experience players to complement the younger lads, since Thiago Silva has left the club, if that aspect is not addressed, I believe that Chelsea will largely struggle next season.
147  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell? on: May 29, 2024, 05:12:52 AM
Ive been hearing about situations where someone buys a coin for a certain rate and not quite long after,  the said coin drops in value, or  someone sells his coin for a certain rate and then it appreciates just after.
What's your take on this? Given the period we're in is it buy time or sell time?

I'm now more into Buy Buy Sell Buy Sell Buy Sell Sell. That means I'm grid trading the coin I want to invest in. There's no certainty when and how much the coin rises. When trading grids, your money would keep making money. On a pure investment the money remains idle till the investor decides to sell. But with grid trading you can both DCA by buying cheap and get profit on sideways market by selling on small fluctuation. With grid trading, you can double your money even thought the coin never doubles.
The only bad thing about grid is if the coin goes a x2 or x3 soon, even if you have a x2 max limit, you would be making less than x2.

I actually understand what you are trying to say here bro, but I don't think it's the best way of building generational wealth overtime, it's true that you can make money from trading if you skilled in it, but it should never be compared to Bitcoin investment, because with Bitcoin investment, you are quite certain of making profit, even as a newbie investors, as long as you are a long term holder, while in trading you can lose a whole lot of money just in a very short period of time, which comes with a whole lot of stress attached to it, so it's best to  be a Holder, which I believe is more convenient,  easy and more rewarding on the longer run.

Lastly, buying only the deep don't necessarily mean that you will be more profitable than someone using the DCA accumulating strategy, because when using the DCA accumulating strategy, you are equally     going to buy the deep and even the lowest part of the deep that the person using long sum may missed,  believing that the price will go even deeper, so I believe that when accumulating Bitcoin, the DCA accumulating strategy is the best.
148  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How can we make the government know that Bitcoin is not a scam? on: May 28, 2024, 01:43:37 PM
Years back, most of us believed that Bitcoin was a scam project because of the kind of information we got from unknown people that don't understand Bitcoin and the world called cryptocurrency either. But today we are all bitcoiners/bitcoinists. However, one reason why many people believed that Bitcoin was a scam project those days might be because technology wasn't advanced then. Let's check during the year 2009, there wasn't a smart cellphone that's smart like the ones we have these days. People in those days did not do their own research and many people only depended on the radical news or the newspapers 📰🗞️. And then the amount to buy a cellphone was high and a lot of youths then couldn't afford it.

But today, we have more smartphones and laptops, PCs and these have made things easier for everyone to do their own research whenever they come across things from ads on the internet or elsewhere. But I still wonder why many people these present days still put their knowledge of what people say about something (mostly when it's Bitcoin, crypto-related things). Most people make things difficult for themselves because they easily believe in what other people say, and they make their own conclusions without consulting their own research.

IMO, people who believe that Bitcoin is a scam are the people that can easily be scammed if a scammer sees them. Some government advisers are not well-educated about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. That's why they tell the government in power that Bitcoin is a scam, because no one controls it and the government also fails to do their own research before making their own conclusions to restrict or ban any bank account that deals with crypto currency transactions.

Now my question is: how can we make these governments know that Bitcoin is not a scam?

Bro, first of all you need to understand say  Nigeria generally don dy informed, we get more knowledge than before, so no need to convince anybody because people know say Bitcoin no be scam, check the current trend now way dy happen for our society, wey be; I hope you dy tap, people now no say Bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large no be scam, all those days wey people think say Bitcoin na scam don pass, and na because of wetin MMM do most people nai make Dem been see Bitcoin like that, but Bitcoin don change people mind finish over the years, so I no believe say anybody need any convincing now.

And as for our government, who tell you say them no know wetin be Bitcoin? Dem dy more educated than you, them hire the best lawyers, financial advicers, and tech gurus wey dy work for them and wey dy tell Dem what's up if them no know, Dem just dy fight cryptocurrency because of the way dollar dy rise everyday, Dem no care if the youth dy use am survive or not, na the dollar wey dy rise wey Dem no fit stop, nai dy worry Dem,  wey dy make Dem fight most of these exchange, wey e come be like say na Bitcoin Dem dy fight, so my brother, in this 21st century wey we dy, wey dy more enlightened than you can imagine, so I no think say our government need any convincing about Bitcoin because Dem know already.
149  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Take Profits! Its important! on: May 28, 2024, 09:25:25 AM
When we are at Extreme Greed you need to be taking some profit off the table. Most people in crypto fail to keep the money they've made. They either sell too late or they selfishly watch all profits fall back to zero.

I've seen this happening each cycle.

We all need to understand that 1st priority in crypto is surviving. Profits are in 2nd place. Yes that sounds counterintuitive, but it's really simple. The real skill is not in making money. The real skill is in keeping it.



Yes, I really do appreciate this your last paragraph here, most traders don't actually know or they feel less concerned that when it comes to trading, risk management is very much important, because you have to survive first before you even think of making profit, so protecting your money through your risk management strategy is what will protect you and keep you in the market when it goes against you, because no matter how good you are as a trader, you can't be 100% in your decision making, so your ability to survive the rainy days is what makes you a professional trader.

And another thing most traders just have to understand is that, you can make a whole lot of money in one month and uses just 1hour to lose all of it plus your capital, so the ability to consolidate to your wins, is what makes you profitable.

Lastly, as a traders, it's best you set a clear objective, like when you are going to take your profit and go out of the Market, because greedy is the principal enemy that makes most traders watches all their wins run down to zero before they eventually close the trade, if they didn't close it in a loss, so it's very important to always take profit when you are winning.
150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 28, 2024, 06:55:10 AM

It makes no sense to keep such a coach for just winning the FA Cup, the management are right to sack him, it's long overdue. What he achieved in his first season says nothing about him, as what matters is what the team can do now. And now it can only finish in 8th position in the table, as sad as it may sound. MU has to move on, with a new coach
Definitely, he's had all his chances to restructure the team and get them back to winning ways, but he hasn't loved up to expectation, so I think the management is super right by showing him the exit door. I just wish Pochettino would suffer the same fate for his clueless coaching approach thought the season.

Leaving Ten Hag would enable the team to suffer an extra season of underperformance just like the previous seasons and its a very bad decision. Rumors has it that T. Tuchel is finding his way back to premier league as Manchester united coach, its a nice one though.

I repeat again, the performance of Pochettino during this season was not bad since he mostly used the younger players and this can be a great step forward for Chslea to have a much stronger and better team in the future and this can definitely help the team. But unfortunately, he couldn't get the result they were expecting to see from him and that's why Chelsea stopped working with Pochettino.
But they are not looking for a replacement for Pochettino.
Some coaches like Enzo Maresca, the former assistant of Guardiola, and Kieran McKenna, the coach of Ipswich are linked to this team but we know these are not better than Pochettino.


Pochettino didn't impress Chelsea's management earlier in the Premier League with a good performance, and at that time, his job was at risk because he wasn't getting positive results. But since Chelsea's performance took a new shape at the end of the Premier League season, making them overtake Manchester United in the Premier League table, Chelsea management should have allowed Pochettino to remain as Chelsea head coach because he has gotten the tactics that will help Chelsea perform better next season. I was surprised when I heard that Pochettino left Chelsea by mutual agreement. It will be hard for a new coach to adapt to this young Chelsea squad.
That's just it, everyone expected them to sack Mauricio pochettino during the cause of the season when they were performing very badly, but they didn't, now that he has steady the ship and they are now getting the desired result with a better performance, that's when the clueless owners of Chelsea football club decided to sack him, because he stop being a yes man, it's very clear that the hierarchy of Chelsea is just looking for someone they will control without even caring how the team is faring, until this clueless owners remove their hands on the day to day running of the club, Chelsea football club will keeps on struggling, because they are totally clueless on what is required of them when it comes to owning a club.

So the best thing that can happen to Chelsea football club right now is for this present owners to sell off the club to someone's better, because right now, boerhly and co. are actually ruining the club.

as I'm a real madrid fan, I'm rooting for real madrid to win this game and become champions, real madrid has a better squad compared to dortmund



 Grin

the bookmakers are seeing real madrid as the clear favorite to win this game, it is not a balanced game because as I said, there is a big difference in quality between these two teams and real madrid is superior
Bookmakers and odds can show the favorite team but in a direct match, a stronger and favorite team are not always winner at the end. Real Madrid from history to their player quality and performances in this season, are considerable stronger than Dortmund and given odds before the final shows this.

They will take the fifteenth Champions League title if they win this one and there are some people who either fans of Dortmund or fans of other clubs don't want it to happen. Clubs like AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Barcelona with 7, 6, 6 and 5 titles probably support Dortmund in this final.

Quote
honestly I'm still wondering how the hell they are in this final, but anyway it's a fact that Dortmund is in the final of the European Champions League

I know that there are some people You will disagree when I say that Dortmundo is not very strong
Opponents of Dortmund in previous rounds like group stage, round of 16, quarter final and semi finals include some big teams AC Milan, Newcastle United, Atletico Madrid and PSG asked this question many times. You don't have to worry about that and Dortmund deserved to appear in the final match by beating many strong opponents along the way to final match.

They will not play the final in a way they will lose it and I expect Dortmund to bring big challenge to Real Madrid, in their defensive efforts first. If Real Madrid let Dortmund scores an opening goal, they might get big trouble to break Dortmund's defense system.

First of all, in this particular encounter between borussia dortmund vs real Madrid in the uefa champions league final, it very clear that real madrid are the clear favourite here, so the bookmarkers odds between this two teams are not wrong, and I believe that the odds of real madrid will keep on getting smaller as the day of the match getting closer, while the odds of borussia dortmund will keep on increasing, because everyone expected them to be defeated by real madrid, but one good thing about football is that anything can happen, nothing is guaranteed, borussia dortmund can surprise them on day and go home with the trophy if real madrid is complacent on that day or they think that since they are the favourite her, borussia dortmund will be a pushover.

And talking of  borussia dortmund not deserving to be in the finals? Yes they actually deserve it, though they aren't that strong, they were mostly lucky in their journey to the finals, because the teams they met on their way wasn't that strong as the team madrid met, but luck is one vital thing that is needed to be successful in this competition, so they actually deserve to be in the finals.

It was saddening me how martial is leaving from manchester united as free agent after being treatened like shit by ten hag. He deserves a better club to use his service. It's really saddening me caused by i was not able seeing him play in the main squad at the end of his career in manchester united.
I hope that he will get a good club as soon as possible. Let's see how good martial when he will be playing on his new club. Martial's career has been declining so hard after he was going to the manchester city.

Martial needs to ensure he will get the right place to continue his career like jadon sancho. It will help him to regain his performance again after he has been wasting a lot of time his united to did nothing.
Martial deserves a good place to treat him better than what united did. Good luck martial. You are a good player but you're not in the right place.

Yes, it's actually true that martial need a new club to resurrect his dieing football career back, but I don't think anyone is to blame here, not even Eric ten hang, because this guy have been injured almost all the time recently, and that automatically makes him unreliable, because he is always not available when he is being needed the most, and the injuries have really affected his form so badly, so my guy, do you expect Eric ten hang to be playing him regularly when he is available and out of form? Or do you expect Eric ten hang to start experimenting with martial when his job is on the line?

These are scenario that happens during his time as a Manchester united player and due to pressure on the manager, you don't expect him to start flavouring him when it's very clear that he is out of form, and greatly unreliable due to injuries,  so what I think is that he just need a change, but I don't think anyone is the cause of his misfortune at Manchester united.

Road to 100K is guaranteed, I mean, it's really guaranteed! If anyone basically wants guaranteed profit, it's never to buy Bitcoin below 100K (I am not giving anyone a financial advice, don't sell your house because of me). Bitcoin is expected to grow and increase in USD value after halving, here we got it this year. At the same time, we also got Bitcoin ETFs, it was a shock for Bitcoin in a positive way and despite the halving, it already affected Bitcoin's price very positively and 70K is not the end, it's just the beginning of a bull run. This winter, Bitcoin will reach 100K and higher, I wouldn't be surprised to see 150K or even maximum 200K USD per Bitcoin.

Actually I'm finding it very difficult to understand the point you are trying to make here, perhaps do you mean that buying Bitcoin below $100k is not good? Because if so I wonder why you will have that mindset  of thinking that buying below $100k is not investment wise, well my perception on the whole thing is that no matter how far or low the price might have gone it shouldn't be a problem that will influence the mindset of people because the most important thing is if the person intention is for a long term holding because holders doesn't allow price to have an influence on there buying.

However I know that everybody are very curious to know how far Bitcoin price will go on this year and almost everybody want it to skyrocket before the year runs our but don't we think is still early to be expecting the price to hit either $150k or $200k now? , I mean there is nothing wrong in wishing or hoping for the price to get to that level but the main thing that should be considered now is getting to $100k first and also getting a good amount of Bitcoin in our portfolio because already we know that Bitcoin will surpass those levels in time to come.

I understand what you are saying perfectly well, but to me, those set of people getting worried on when the price of Bitcoin will get to 100k mark are just newbies investors or traders, because anyone that have a good knowledge of  Bitcoin will know that Bitcoin must have greatly under achieved for it not to go above the 100k mark by a mile in 5 to 10 years time from now, so I believe that the The potential of Bitcoin is really really high, so waiting for Bitcoin to get to 100k for me to start taking profit it's like a massive loss too me, when I know that it might skyrocket up to 500k plus in 15-20 years from now, so the essence of all this is that, if truly you are a long term investor, you wouldn't even be bothered or too excited if Bitcoin get up to 100k this year, because that's way below the actual potential of Bitcoin on the longer run.

Lastly, I believe that we are still in the early days of Bitcoin, so investing now regardless of the price will still end in a win win situation, as long as you are a long term holder.

Hi everyone,

I've been thinking a lot about how to effectively store value, especially in ways that can offset the effects of inflation. With the rising concerns over inflation and the potential devaluation of traditional currencies, I'm curious about the strategies that others in this community are using.

Personally, I've been exploring a few options, including:

Cryptocurrencies、Precious Metals、Real Estate、Stocks and Bond、Commodities。
What about you? How are you managing your investments to combat inflation? Do you think Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are effective in this regard? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any strategies that have worked for you.

You are not actually far from the truth guy, their are so many ways of saving your money so that inflation wouldn't eat it up, because inflation is a principal enemy that reduced the value of any money being saved up, so the best way to store your valuables , to offset inflation is to save it in anything that appreciate in value overtime, something like gold, Bitcoin, land, real estate and diamond.

And I also want to correct the impression you made by your post here, when talking of storing your money in cryptocurrency, it can be a good idea, but it can also be a bad  idea, so it would be best that you are specific,  because if you are talking of holding your money in Bitcoin then it's very good, but if you are holding your money in other cryptocurrency, then I think it's wrong, because aside Bitcoin, all other alt and shit coin are just nonsense and measures put in place by most developer to milk investors of their hard earned money, so be specific and don't generalize it.
155  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Repeated Verification Code Issues with Kucoin Withdrawals on: May 27, 2024, 08:41:16 AM
I encountered an issue yesterday with a particular exchange that sends a verification code to my mobile number before withdrawal. I wanted to withdraw some funds from Kucoin, and due to my security settings, I had to first enter my trading password and then, hit the "send verification code" button, which is supposed to send a code to my mobile number. However, after hitting the button the first time, I didn't receive any code until the counter ran out. I repeated the same process about three times until I received a notification that I had exhausted the number of attempts and needed to try again in two hours. Frustrated, I left it and went to bed.

This morning, I encountered the same issue. I had to go to my profile and unbind the mobile number from the app. Now, I have to wait 24 hours to attempt the transaction again.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? What did you do?

Yes, it's actually true that this kind of issues always arise when dealing with kucoin because I have experience such before when using kucoin, before they disabled their p2p services, I believe that it's not from the network you are using, it's mainly from kucoin, because since I started using bybit, I haven't experienced such issues, so I don't think it's from the network.

And another thing is that, since binance left the Nigerian market, we all have experience one or two shitty behavior from one exchange or the other, so I will suggest that In as much as we are looking for an exchange that is still operating p2p, we should be very careful and cautious with most of these exchange, because most of them are just rubbish, you will see an exchange setting their minimum deposit at 31usd, because they know that most people will fall victim of it, so we should just be careful with when dealing with these exchange.

It looks like Manchester City’s dominance of the Premier league will be coming to an end soon because according to Sky Sports, Pep Guardiola may be leaving Manchester City next summer. I wasn’t expecting Pep to leave the club anytime soon, Manchester City are not ready to be without Pep. City has always had good players but the missing piece was a manager who could harness the talent of the players and introduce strategies that would win games. Pep filled that gap for Manchester City and if he leaves, it will take time for the club to recover from that loss. Hopefully they do not suffer as much as Manchester United did when Sir Alex Ferguson left the club.
I really don't think Manchester city will struggle if pep guardiola leave, because they were actually doing fine before he came into Manchester city, so what makes you think they can't do without him? It's very true that their dominance of the English premier league is going to reduced to a reasonable extend, but they wouldn't struggle, talkless of struggling like the way Manchester united have struggled since sir Alex Ferguson left the club.

Lastly, if truly that pep guardiola really want to leave Manchester city, then I really don't think it's a good move, for not just Manchester city, but also to him as an individual, because Manchester city is one of those clubs that have the capacity to give you all he need as a coach to succeed,  so why would he be leaving? I don't think their is any logic in him leaving Manchester city, so it would be best he just stay put and enjoy his dominance of the English premier league.

As long as napoli will able to give what napoli wanted and that may be a gamechanger. PSG has sent 100 millions offer for kvarat. it's time for napoli to rebuild the club again under conte through selling some players for the maximum price. Conte have been recording successful performances in the various club.
Im sure he can also bring napoli to the best performance like what spalletti did. As long as there was no a lot of drama in the club and he can work to make it happen.
If the offer is maximum enough for one of the players who has been the team's target for some time, I think it is time for Napoli to accept the offer at this time. Because before the new season starts again, of course there will be more offers for players who do not renew their contracts with their old teams. So fantastic offers like that must be considered more quickly in order to get other players early for Napoli and I think Conte is indeed suitable to be at Napoli if we base it on the experience he has had so far.

First of all, Antonio conte's move to Napoli is really a massive move for the napolians because I believe that he has what it takes to take them to a greater heights, let's look at the historical record of Antonio conte in almost all the club he has managed over the cause of his career, you will definitely be convinced that he is actually going to improve this Napoli team more than ever, compared to last season.

And I think their will be a massive rebuild at the club because Antonio conte is a manager that like his team to play with three at the back, and  wingbacks, so I believe that, so many changes will be made at the club, and a lot of players will be going in and out of the club, though it's not still clear if their star attacker victor osimhen will be staying or leaving, but anything is still possible, let just look if Antonio conte would want to keep him or not.

I was a bit surprised when I saw how they played when they beat Manchester City, their performance was very different from what they have shown so far when playing in the EPL. Manchester United has the quality and ability to finish in a better position, but due to their inconsistent performance, they have to settle for finishing in 8th position in the standings.

Ten Hag is a great coach, he has the ability to bring Manchester United to beat Manchester City, who appeared dominant throughout the match. Ten Hag still needs to do a lot next season if he remains as Manchester United coach, he must be able to make Manchester United appear consistent like Arteta did at Arsenal and Guardiola at Manchester City to make Manchester United a challenger in the EPL title race.
Seems Manchester City players over confidence after success winning the Premier League tittle and facing Manchester United as 8th standings team finish in this season. I think Manchester City players since first minutes underestimate with Manchester United and its fatal mistake for them until loss opportunity for winning FA Cup in this season.

Last night, Erik ten Hag tactician very impressive and he most play more offensive by taking advantage with faster counter attack, looking the statistic how dominance for Manchester City controlling ball possession but Manchester United had efficiency when build up counter attack and have more dominance shots on target than Manchester City. Still doubt with Erik ten Hag future keep become Manchester United manager or not after many issues rumor he will sack from his position.

Actually I don't really think Manchester city underestimated Manchester united, what I really do think is that Manchester united surprised Manchester city with their togetherness and compactness in their defensive set up, and to be frank, it's really been long I saw Manchester city ran out of ideas on how to break the defensive lineup of Manchester united, and it was all the idea of Eric ten hang, the defensive master class of Manchester united was spot on yesterday, though they need a little bit of luck to scale through, but I still feels like the victory was well deserved, because of the work they put in to ensure of the victory.

Lastly, it's also a good thing that Manchester city didn't win yesterday because their dominance of the English league is becoming too much, so it's good that the three trophies was shared between Liverpool, Manchester united and Manchester city.

I wonder why Manchester City can play so bad, the first goal was a mistake by Gvardiol while the second one, all the defenders were confused since they're in wrong positioning. Manchester United on other hand is lucky, if Haaland's shoot was goal, the match would end in penalty kick.

Although Manchester City lose, but The Citizens aren't really sad, actually the one who sad is The Gooners lol.

Everyone are happy for having their own trophy, except... Tongue



That's just the reality of this arsenal side, they are now the almost club, last year and this year are almost the same thing, they are practically the almost club now, and that is what the fan of the rival clubs are using to taunt arsenal right now, and if care is not taken, this arsenal side might continue this winless trend , because they lack experience and consistency just as Manchester city.

And as for the game yesterday, it was really a fascinating encounter between Manchester city and Manchester united, especially for the Manchester united fans, they actually surprised everyone, including their fan, though they were actually lucky to come out victorious because avarez was just wasteful in front of goal and Erling halaand shot that struck the bar, if it has gone in, it would have been a different story all together, but a big congratulations to them for winning this year English fa cup trophy.

It's confirmed by romano if two clubs are pushing to get olise from palace. Im not even doubting it since manchester united lack of good player in the squad. The club needs to sign a new player but hold on. Does united have money for this? I've heard that glazer gave less than 50 millions for ten hag this season.
How can united recruit olise as a new player? I meant united has no money this time to recruit him. This will be another useless competition. United needs urgently to sell some of their talents as soon as possible considering it's in the competition with chelsea.

Im wondering what's gonna be a plan for ten hag to raise the money to get olise from palace. We do know that how ten hag had spent a lot of money but he still got nothing other than carabao cup.
Very disappointed result for united. Im only hoping ten hag to know his capability once his recruitment this season will be fail in the next season.

I think this is the best period for Man UTD to start running to get better players but when it matters most they end up losing the player and now it has to do with Chelsea who are competing for the player Olise which I feel will not want to join UTD, it doesn't matter if ETH has been give a little or larger amount to get new players, all I know is that Manchester United are never getting any top player to join the squad rather they'll lose players from the team.
Before now Chelsea have been hunting to get Olise before he signed a new contract (correct me if I'm wrong) so if he wants something better Chelsea would be the right club for him,. Olise can blend in easily and his partnership with Palmer would be great (that's if Chelsea get his signature).
I believe ETH has been exhausted this season and he needs a little time to think on how he would go about business next season and getting new players, not because they defeated Manchester City that the board have to be selecting better players without minding if they (UTD) have what would attract the players to join the club, for now if things ain't done properly I don't feel we might be seeing new faces, I mean new faces that will elevate the club not teenagers who would go to the EUROPA LEAGUE and disgrace the club, for now ETH need to talk less and act more.

Well, ten hag's future is still remain unclear here since nothing being confirmed by INEOS. Olise needs to step up his career and join in a better club rather than always stay on the palace. Considering how many goals unitec conceded in the EPL this season. They need to sign a new face.
Many clubs will be improving their quality as a preparation for the upcoming season. Thing has been going well in the match against city for united.Let's wait what's gonna be ten hag's plan for his future.

Ten hag has been warned united's management after winning FA cup, if they are not keen in winning more trophies then sack him.

I think between this two club, Manchester united is the club that is really in dire need of his services, because this Manchester united side lack creativity in their attacking play, and I believe that signing olise will add so much creativity to this Manchester united team generally.

And as for Chelsea, I really don't think they need him that much because they have cole palmer, who plays almost the same way as olise, their major concern should be bringing in a better coach that can improve the team, and strike a balance between attack and defense, than looking for more attacking players .

Lastly, i think that it's high time olise  move to a bigger club,  so as to actualize his true potential,  so him moving to a bigger club would be more ideal for his career.
