1441  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Reason why I will never help anyone to invest in crypto on: January 27, 2023, 03:52:08 PM
That's why I never give my relatives or friends any investment advice. Many people say we should share bitcoin with those around us, that's how we make bitcoin more popular as well as help others have a good life like us know about bitcoin. But as an investment, there is always a risk, just because we make a profit doesn't mean that others will also make a profit. Investing is a battle in which there will be winners and losers, even we ourselves are not sure that we are the winner, so recommending to others is like bringing disaster to the body.

This is a very thoughtful reply to the post. Investment in cryptocurrency is like a battle, many lose and many wins. Many atimes we lose while thinking that we win. So there is no guarantee and it is not something that we will introduce people and give then the confidence of winning.

To tell you how difficult it is here. Here is the only place someone will give you advice finish and tell you that he didn't give you advice, that you should do your own research. It is risky here

The truth is that Graham Potter also contribute to the problem of Chelsea,  a good coach should be able to manage the kind of player Chelsea has, atleast some level of good performance is supposed to be seen in the players. I think the strategies he uses as a coach is not working for the team. Chelsea already have players but lack a quality coach that can bring out best from the players .

I would agree with you on this. The coach also has a part to play(probably more)in the level of performance his team displays on the field of play.

Chelsea already has some of the finest players in the world and needs someone who is able and capable to see and bring out the potentials buried deep inside each player. Along with that, formulation of new strategies using the potentials of his players is also key and something the coach ought to consider.


No coach will be able to do great things when his defence and midfield is in shambles. You may think that Chelsea is signing players that they are supposed to be performing well. Ask yourself how many steady defenders are there apart from Silva. Also ask yourself how many great defensive midfielder has Chelsea since Kante is injures. If you will be fair, Potter has never gotten the best lines of defence and midfield to perform.

No, I think Messi can still return to Barcelona to play for his childhood club before retiring there as the club legend.
Players returning to their so called childhood clubs is a bad idea because all those beautiful memories he left could be erased and we saw what happened with Cristiano. Maybe that Saudi Arabia deal is in the pipeline after all because his playing days are almost over and what better way of ending it by getting a fat pay check.

Well as far as i know, Messi did not really had to leave Barcelona at all. It was just the case, that Barcelona could not afford to pay Messi his extremely high salary. They have paid him around 550 M€ for a 5 year contract, that are 110 M€ per year, which is probably 5 times more than other world class players are earning. That was the reason why Barcelona has such extremely high debts now and is still in danger of going bankrupt.
Messi could have stayed back then but of course for a salary that would have only been a fraction of the old one. So it was not like he was forced to leave or something. He just wanted to continue to earn ridiculously high amounts of money and he could do that PSG.

I have already said it, the major concern of players is to continue to earn highly ridiculous amount of money. I first asked this question that if Messi loved Barcelona that much, why not take some pay cut.
The same thing happened to Ronaldo. When the bid from Saudi came, I told people that Ronaldo will go for the money but they said that Ronaldo will like to play only in Europe and possibly in the Champions league. But today we have seen where Ronaldo is.

Tomorrow Arsenal will play against Manchester City in the FA Cup match which of course this will be very interesting, because if Arsenal manage to beat Manchester City in this match then that is an extraordinary achievement. Because if Arsenal win this match then Arsenal have managed to beat two Manchesters in a row, and maybe that will be a historical record as well.
I hope that a winning result for Arsenal can happen in this match, because of course it will be the perfect result for Arsenal in this season and in this moment.

Arsenal may not be able to win Manchester City because Guardiola knows too well that he is loosing the Premier League title to Arsenal. I expect him to feature stronger legs in order to eliminate Arsenal from FA Cup.
If they lose out to Arsenal in Fa Cup, they may also lose out to Arsenal in the main league which will be very abnormal.

The two clubs i have so much concerns for this season is Asernal and Barcelona, because both clubs have really improved in their performance this season, and what can stabd against their success is their meeting with stronger teams e.g Barcelona vs Real Madrid in the La liga and Asernal vs Manchester city in the premiere league, this are the two clubs that i see that will stop this trending young club from reaching their goal in this season.
But if Barcelona is able to beat or draw with real madrid and Asersnal record same result against man city that will be a break through for both clubs.
In terms of improvement or development, Arsenal did it more than Barcelona. But if Barcelona meets Real Madrid they have much chances of surviving than when Arsenal meets Manchester City. This is because Manchester City is very hot and even hotter than Real Madrid. Last season Real Madrid won the champions league but Manchester City was crowned the Champions League team of the Year.
The men of Barcelona are stronger and faster.

The fact that Fulham can no longer be underestimated, because even though Fulham is still losing by a stronger team, but in reality, Fulham can provide tough resistance for the favorite teams. But when Fulham plays against a team that we can say has qualities that are not much different, then at this moment I'm sure Fulham can guarantee a good result whether it's a win or a draw.
Also for the next match in the English Premier League Fulham will play against Chelsea, and with the confidence as I said, then I'm sure Fulham will not lose in the next match against Chelsea.

I don't even understand why Fulham became a team to be feared in English Premier League. Their recent good form is just surprising to me. As it stands now, any team that wants to face Fulham must be prepared and ready for battle.
If Fulham can maintain this momentum, we will not be surprised to see them in the Europa this season. Everything is possible

I don't see such high-level players in Fulham's roster, but this year, they showed an excellent example of effort, pushing each team to a level.  If they get the position to go to the European cups in the premier league, they will gain a great reputation.  They also lost in the Tottenham game, but they tried well.  They are no longer as easy as they used to be.
thats something that is becoming common in the premier league. The teams that were so called small teams are now stepping up their game. Fulham is good example and they have really showed that even with little star players they can still play very well as a team and compete for a place in the top four. It will be very interesting to see fulham play European competition next season and am hoping they keep up the good form despite the loss to Tottenham.

That is becoming common truly. If you check out some average clubs in England they are no longer average clubs. They are either spoiling the winning of big clubs or projecting themselves. Clubs like Newcastle, Fulham, Brighton, Crystal palace and many of them are putting in much pressure to dis arrange the arrangement of the structure. I am expecting more wonders from these teams.

The cost of living in my country is so high that we no longer complain about it anymore. We try to just survive. To keep our heads above water for the next 36days when we will take to the polls to vote out the bad leaders that have brought untold and unbearable hardship to the common man and woman while they take the wealth of the nation to abroad and stash it foreign bank accounts.

Can you take your time and compare the rate of living in our country to what is posted in the OP.
Before now we used to buy petrol at $0.22 but now there is hike we buy at $0.44 which is still cheaper than $2.1 that they buy. Everything is just relative, the inflation we see is relative and people pay huge task in their countries but in our countries we can escape task because of the weak system of tax enforcement.
No country is heaven

It's like it's been a while I followed this page or thread. I was surprised when Trossard was introduced today from Arsenal. I was like what really happened to Brighton.
It was then I discovered that it's been a while I was here.

Manchester united new guy Weghorst was honestly not in the Manchester United football mood to help the club. He is pushing me to make bad judgment of him

1451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 22, 2023, 06:43:29 PM
Today quite exciting match occurred between Arsenal and Manchester, the 3-2 victory further solidified Arsenal position at the top of the English league standings with 50 points, the appearance of The Gunners troops was indeed quite extraordinary despite getting great resistance from Manchester and I think Arsenal mentality has now shown winning mentality, Arsenal winning goal in the last minute was quite dramatic and fortunately for Arsenal the goal was legalized after having made Arsenal's fans stop breathing for a moment due to checking Var Grin.

I blame ETH for Manchester United loss. It was obvious that little Garnacho was supposed to be introduced to replace Anthony. This would make Garnacho to operate from left wing and Rashford from right wing and if possible sub Weghorst  for Elenga. This would still have mounted more pressure on Arsenal. Instead he decided to choke the defence with midfielders which gave Arsenal the opportunity to pressure the team more.
1452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 21, 2023, 07:18:54 PM
I didn't expect any wonders in the match between Chelsea and Liverpool
I already know that both teams are not in their good form. Therefore I didn't expect them to score good goals. I knew the match would end in draw
A draw is probably the most fair result that could come from that game and that's what they got so, its cool although, it didn't help Chelsea very much as they get to hang at the 10th spot on the league table. It's just better than shooting.

Everton had yet another sad one and the protest from the fans keep intensifying. Its funny how they hope that the board be sacked. Perhaps its just Frank Lampard and I do feel for him. He's putting in his best but, its just not good enough and I can't blame the fans for wanting more out of the team they've got now. They need to secure some win and push out of the relegation zone.

That is true, a shared point is better than going home with a zero point. Chelsea being able to get a draw even when their new signing Felix is still serving a red card offense is a sign that Chelsea have started improving in their performance.

As for Frank Lampard I will suggest that he should honorably resign because the pressure in EPL this season is very high and the more he tries the more deeper he goes down.

What a boring game at Liverpool - Chelsea. After only 3 minutes, Chelsea managed to score a goal, but it turned out to be offside. At that time I still thought that some goals were going to be scored. The final score of 0-0 hardly anyone could have predicted. Both teams really have nothing to do with this score, of course. Liverpool have long put the championship out of their minds, they are no longer title contenders and the same goes for Chelsea. Manchester City are lucky that they won the game last while they were still 0-2 behind at half-time. Tomorrow Arsenal will play against Manchester United. A very important game, United can use the connection even better with a win. The game in Manchester was won by Manchester.
I didn't expect any wonders in the match between Chelsea and Liverpool
I already know that both teams are not in their good form. Therefore I didn't expect them to score good goals. I knew the match would end in draw
But I didn't expect a goalless draw I was thinking about a 1-1 draw.
But then this meeting between Liverpool and Chelsea has proven that both teams are no longer title contenders for this season maybe they could turn a new leaf in the next season.

I have a question for you.

Having someone put you in their ignore list and having someone distrusting you, which one is more damaging?

I guess it is distrusting, because it will reduce your trust score and affect your overall forum reputation. But ignoring someone doesn't have any public impact but personal impact. It could be you don't want to see the persons posts.
So, if trust list can be view, ignore list should also.

I have a different perspective on this. Firstly, trust lists are made public in order to prevent manipulation, as they have a significant impact on how the trust system functions overall. Whereas, as you mentioned, ignore lists only affect an individual's experience on the forum.

However, if ignore lists were made public, they would have a much greater detrimental and adverse effect on the individuals who are included on them. Not only would it potentially damage their reputation within the community, but it could also lead to the exclusion of such members from any marketing campaigns and job opportunities on the forum. The perception of being on an ignore list by a significant number of reputable community members could discourage managers from hiring such individuals.

Additionally, making ignore lists public would likely discourage individuals from expressing their opinions or participating in discussions, as they would fear being added to an ignore list and facing the associated consequences. Ultimately, this would likely lead to a less inclusive and less healthy community.


I read a good point from your posts. If ignore list is made public, some reputable members may convert it to be their armour of war and intimidation. When a member is in the ignore list of upto 10 members, that particular user may become unhireable by any manager. This cannot happen if everyone distrust a user. Unless they are given neg tags.
This forum arrangement is not perfect but it is cool manageable and and nice

If I had to distribute sMerits in accordance to a pre-set criteria based on Rank or else, then I’d probably stepdown from being a Merit Source.


I didn't reason it from this angle before. Like the idea will limit freedom and make merit source of a thing look like a regular job according to fillippone.  Also from Ratimov statement, I am surprised how people write codes to be making posts. Wi their posts be connected or readable to gain merits?
No wonder the last time I checked the generous user's thread you dropped deep down.

They think you're wasting hours in front of the computer because they don't understand what you're doing. It's hard to explain to old people like your grandfathers and uncles to understand what Bitcoin is. To me that's like introducing a bird to someone who can't see.
I think you need to play drama with them, you don't need to be too honest with what you do, you need to try to explain something that is understandable even if you have to lie.

That is exactly what I do when I find myself in such a situation that I cannot express or explain crypto and how I make money from it to people. I will simply tell them that I write articles about bitcoin, I give investment advice and I also do trading and all these gives me money that sustains me.
Those three things are understandable to anyone who wishes to understand what I do.

I don't know if your problem is to make your own people understand that you do genuine job or you want to teach them.
1457  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: More reason why you need to diversify to crypto on: January 19, 2023, 02:23:04 PM
Is a very important thing if person diversify his/her crypto e go reduce risk of loosing or if some other areas perfome poorly u go gain for another place.. And u go still know much on how to do your crypto business and you go know exact place wey you go they invest, so that e go reduce the chance of loosing your funds so is very good to do such thing that to diversify your crypto it will loose the chance of loosing so many funds.

Weda na for Bank o and weda na for crypto, we must learn how to secure our private propers. I see that girl wey been dey cry for video. She talk say she be former bank staff. She suppose find her money if truly na former staff wey she be.
When e come for financial security things I no dey trust girls. She fit don leak her pin or ATM back numbers with her boy friend or even her bvn and phone number dey enough to comot the money.
People wey dey for the bank sef dey follow run this shits dem.

To see merit circulate very well in the forum. There are good posts that go unmerited.
If merit sources are assigned to boards of assigned to ranks preferably it will be nice to spread merits.
For example;
The Sceptical Chymist, 50% of your smerits allocation should go to Hero members.
Ratimov, 50% of your smerits should go to Newbies to member rank
fillippone, 50% of your smerits should go to full members to snr members
DdmrDdmr, 50% of your smerits should go to legendary members. Etc
1459  Other / Meta / Re: Know who ignores who on: January 19, 2023, 12:49:52 PM
Bad idea tbh, don't you think this will create more enemies within one's circle Huh

I also believe the system is built this way to avoid confrontation and justification of why anybody would make it on a user's ignore list and for the sake of the forums harmony it's better this way!

I have a question for you.

Having someone put you in their ignore list and having someone distrusting you, which one is more damaging?

I guess it is distrusting, because it will reduce your trust score and affect your overall forum reputation. But ignoring someone doesn't have any public impact but personal impact. It could be you don't want to see the persons posts.

El Salvador's President Nayeb Bukel bought at the wrong time and thus wasted a lot of money that his people paid and then continued to buy, which means that either he does not have economic advisors and this is a disaster, or he has and the disaster is greater.

What are you even saying here?
If you bought bitcoin at the wrong entry which is high and the market goes down, what do you do?

Do you sell at loss and not buy again.
Or you continue with DCA to buy more at low if you have the fund?

therefore perhaps she wanted to achieve fame with that, and the goal is not awareness.

How do you mean that the goal is not awareness?

Why did you decided to include fame and remove awareness?
How do you mean that someone that appeared on a global stage with bitcoin suit is not creating bitcoin awareness?
