Na today I confirm say our oga dem at the top no sabi anything about crypto currency. When we talk about crypto currency, all dem sabi be say e nor good. And i nor go blame dem. The CBN governor don already say na crypto spoil our naija economy and with wetin dem don do to Binance and wetin dem dey plan do to P2P, i nor sure say light dey the end of this tunnel at all.

Make e nor be like say I dey talk too much, recently our customs intercept some items wey dem hand over to the Nigerian Army. Normally, all these kind news nor concern me, but na as dem mention say dem seize crypto mining machine na there I come put my ear down. Wetin burst my head wey make me talk say these people dey display their ignorance for the whole na say, the custom oga wey seize talk say, the cryptocurrency machine, him nor even talk say na mining maching , him say e fit cause damage to the economy.

I transrcibe that part:

...and then these are the cryptocurrency machines and their wallets they are so tiny you may think they are nothing but they can do a lot of har to the Nigerian economy...

My pipo wetin we go call this one biko nu...how crypto mining machines go fit to casue harm our Naija economy abeg?

Las las sha, dem talk say anything wey person nor understand, na so e go dey fight am.
I'm not surprise, most of those custom officers are of the analogue age, a lot of them just take whatever the government says hook line and sinker without going to do research on their own, there's a narrative the CBN has painted crypto, making it seem as if is something that is absurd and can damage an economy, just imagine a situation where the custom officer is calling a hardware wallet, crypto mining machine. that tells you that he doesn't understand what crypto is all about, if not do Nigeria have the electricity to even mine crypto. The CBN is doing themselves a great disservice by running along with this negative narrative on cryptocurrency, which is why you see custom officers making a headline news of crypto mining machine which obviously means he doesn't understand what he has at hand.
162  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy BTC sold for 16 BTC-1 mil USD on: May 10, 2024, 08:51:12 AM

The main problem in early stages will be

A lot of people knowing each other driving the price of a few specific items and creating higher prices for them… then a unknowing person buying at a to high price for a worthless piece being stuck to it… but yeah DYOR and buy what you deem worthy I guess
Actually, this is the only scheme, and not only a lot of people knowing each other, but often just only one person, acting with different wallets.
Market rigging at its bests, like good old times in traditional markets.
This does works and the target can be completely clueless on what’s been done. That’s why auctions could be a madman’s den at times. Insane prices could go for just any piece from a famous dead guy who wasn’t very good in art or have an item featured in a famous battle or been to certain places.

Then the collectioneur at heart... just collecting things they really appreciate and by buying giving things a value... Could be discussed, but by bidding and buying they set a standard for certain objects ... This also makes other pieces more valuable. Some people collecting stuff really appreciate it and they are happy with owning it and owning piece of that history. It's charming some people just are so interested that they wanna hold such specific things...
More and more searches are lunched to getting these antiques, get it dated and there it goes with the price for collectors to pick it up. You wonder why they don’t keep ot for themselves or have it as a national treasure, which goes for some antiques and the nation of origin.

Well, am not a collector so I wouldn’t know, don’t see how am supposed to be amused with having this 16BTC in an item hanging somewhere if I don’t get to make money off it although, some of these could serve a means to preserve wealth and that’s only if you can be able to resale if need arises.


That's just the point bro, if it's that's treasurable why didn't they kept it for themselves? These people knows how most of the rich thinks, and especially when the goods in question is being auctioned, they knows that their are crazy fellow out their that would just want to outbid everyone, just to prove his or her financial superiority among his or her pairs, and most times it's something that would not be useful or productive too them.

That's why I really do believe that this particular purchase is all about ego, the person that bought it just want to be among that very few people in the world who has the capacity to pull such a move, because I don't think he is going to make any tangible money out of it.
I disagree with you that is about ego, you don't cherry pick what you think is worth something to yourself and to somebody else. What you feel has value might not be seen as value to somebody else, and that is nature for you. let me even ask you, if those things you think have value where not having monetary attachment to them, whether the amount is big or small, do you think you will see those things as something of value, take for instance a diamond, which we all refer to as the precious stone, what if there is no monetary attachment to a diamond, would you still see it as something worthy of value?.
However My point is, people give monetary value to what they feel they're attached to, irrespective of what the world will think.

I personally am also curious about what Madrid will do when this season ends. Of course we won't know what Madrid will do in the future.
but if, for example, Mbappe comes in and becomes a Real Madrid player, it will certainly make Real Madrid stronger and it will certainly be difficult for any team next season to face Real Madrid if Mbappe becomes a Real Madrid player because Mbappe is a player mainstay in PSG.
There is nothing for Real Madrid to do in the coming season because they have just beaten Bayern Munich with a score of 2-1 meaning that the aggregate win is 4-3 for Real Madrid's victory and they deserve to enter the Champions League Final. Don't wait to see who the opponent will be.  opponents in the Final, Real Madrid have not yet made a choice or discussed what they will do next season, but they must first focus on the Final match because they have won the La Liga title and it's time to focus on the Champions League, regarding new players like me.  With the current players, Real Madrid can still rely on their strikers without having to bring Mbappe to Real Madrid.
I think if they are going to fight for the best, they will definitely need a player like Mbappe. Endrick will also join the team next year. As a young and potential attacking player, I am sure that he will fulfill his potential at Real Madrid. I'm sure he will reach the top level like Vinicius Jr. Real Madrid has already created its squad for the next 10 years.
,  
Well for me, so far so good for real Madrid, i think they have had a good season so far after surviving Manchester city in the champions league,  a team which in my own opinion is the only team better than real madrid judging from how they play and how they played against real Madrid but right now it is glaring clear that Real have shown their unique character by securing a place in the UCL finals after missing out last season to Manchester City. Talking about kylian Mbappé, I think he a very exceptional player who is gonna add a lot to the squad if he comes in as speculated, though I think he doesn't have much to prove because he has already done that with the French national football team and with PSG and i think he is gonna bring a lot of quality to the Madrid side if this transfer works out.

We should regards every single presence of competitive clubs because the chances of Manchester City and Arsenal winning the EPL are 50/50. Alot comes with varying levels and competitive strength exerted. Arsenal and Liverpool will continue to battle because there's absolutely no rest for these players. We know Spurs to be a burden for Pep Guardiola when it comes to EPL meetings. But this time around, the odds of winning belongs to Pep Guardiola and Manchester City.
For Man City, perhaps playing against Fullham and West Ham will be an easier match compared to the match against Tottenham. And yes, the only team that can give Man City difficulties in the remaining matches this season is only Tottenham. But sometimes West Ham can also surprise us. So yeah, nothing can be underestimated in the match at the end of the season. Especially Tottenham who have lost points in the last 4 matches. Of course they don't want to lose more in the remaining matches. But still Man City will be the favorite. In fact, I prefer to bet on Man City. Tottenham still has a chance to overtake Aston Villa in the standings. But the problem is that this can be done if Tottenham wins all the remaining matches and hopes that Aston Villa loses all the remaining matches.
If not for uncertainty that is attached to football, it's easy to say Manchester City will literally win those three matches remaining, even the Tottenham that is seen as a contender, they are full of inconsistencies lately.  A lot of people are already seeing it that Manchester city are the likely winners of the title, because they seem not to see the team that will stop them.

It's not possible for Tottenham to win all their remaining matches, at best they might draw against Manchester city which will still make Aston villa still ahead of them, 7 points difference is a lot of margin, so it will be safe to say Aston villa will be ahead of them not matter how the outcome might be.

These games are completely different. Players have different limits and while Real Madrid would be better at playing consistently over the course of a season, anything can happen on such an evening. Odds for Dortmund to win the game are around 5.0, but it is indeed hard to believe that Dortmund can win it in regular time. But see how they eliminated Atletico Madrid and PSG and of course they will need some luck, but isn't it the same for Real Madrid? Seeing the referee taking away that goal from Bayern Munich was kind of lucky. Everyone thought they would lose that game and then Manuel Neuer makes an unbelievable mistake. It is all part of the game.
Yeah the chance is still there.

We shouldn't forget in the last season, Manchester City was completely humiliate any opponents, but when they face Inter in the final match, it's actually 50/50 match and Manchester City only scored one goal.

Dortmund on other hand, is really confident after they beat PSG two times. If Dortmund can get the trophy, this would be a honor to Reus.
With the way Real Madrid played yesterday and won the match at the dying minutes to extra time, is the same way they will put up all their seriousness on the final day to make sure that they win the trophy. PSG is not as strong as Real Madrid, and it was Dortmund fate this season that they will be playing in the finals, if not PSG played better than them but they were unlucky and that is why you see that their balls was hitting the goal post in both first and second leg of the matches. That luck will not be on Dortmund side on the finals but rather it will be on R.Madrid side.
The final between Real Madrid Vs Dortmund will be an interesting game to watch, Dortmund are very fierce with their defensive pattern of play, I don't want to see them as underdog, I'm seeing them as equal contenders with Madrid, However Real Madrid shouldn't make the mistake of looking down on them, because that will be their greatest undoing. for me i see Borussia Dortmund as more of threat than Bayern Munich given the way they play.

PSG didn't make use of the opportunities they had, both from the first leg and the second, while Dortmund were using the tiniest opportunity given to them, they struggled to maintain a one goal victory in the first leg, and PSG couldn't even make an equaliser, unfortunately for PSG they still lost 2-0 at home, with so many missed opportunities to score and equalise the game.
166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 08, 2024, 09:36:49 PM
Nearly half time and still 0-0. Like the 1st leg there’s not much between the two teams, a proper chess match tonight.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this goes all the way to penalties.
My friend was telling me earlier today that Madrid is going to trash Bayern Munich carelessly. I told him that it was what I thought in the first leg, but since after the first leg, I realised that this is semi finals, that any team can win. Right now it is becoming obvious to him that anything can happen. This is because the match has ended first half and there is no single goal from either team.

I must confess that this is a great first half. Even when Gnabry was substitute because of injury, I thought the momentum will drop but Davis surprised me and still kept on the momentum. Let's see what the second half has for us, but I think PK shoot out might not be in view here.
For Bayern Munich not to concede a goal against Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabeu means that Bayern Munich is pulling out a good performance, which has made it hard for Real Madrid to score easily against Bayern Munich. I thought by now Real Madrid could be leading Bayern Munich, but I am surprised to see Real Madrid finding it hard to score against Bayern Munich. I believe Real Madrid will score against Bayern Munich before the end of the match.
Alphonso Davies that came in for Gnarby when he was injured has broken the deadlock on the 68th minutes with a super strike to give Bayern the lead.

Damn it, Madrid just scored but the goal has been canceled because Nacho was holding the neck of his opponent inside the 18 yard box before the cross.

RMA 0-1 BAY
AGG  2-3
Hala Madrid!
I was afraid when Davies gave Bayern Munich the lead against Real Madrid in the 68th minute. I said to myself, how would Bayern Munich knock out Real Madrid from the semi-final to set up a final with Borussia Dortmund? But thanks to Joselu's late goals, which helped Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich 2-1 and qualify for this season's UEFA Champions League finals with Borussia Dortmund.
I had the same feelings too, the way Bayern played this particular leg really gave Madrid a tough time, when Madrid first equalised that 1-1 that was later disallowed as a foul, I felt it was over for Madrid, but then their tenacity to Push harder brought them this far, Thomas Tuchel made a mistake when he removed, Kane and some other player just to replace them with defenders when Bayern where leading that 1-0, they change actually made them to have more pressure as Kane was really helping to force the attack Madrid, thereby keeping players like Rudiger busy at the back.
167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 08, 2024, 09:17:51 PM
Never even worried  Grin


HALA MADRID.
 Bayern Munich tried, at some point in the game I almost lost hope that Madrid will not win again, but thankfully we came out successful.
It wasn't an easy win but, we scaled through. Bayern played so extremely well even more than the way they played in their home ground, but Madrid kept on pushing on because of the experience players they had.
168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 08, 2024, 05:00:32 PM
Unfortunately, once again my prediction was not right.
I was expecting to see a much better performer from PSG and I was hoping to see PSG winning this match against Dortmund since they are playing at home and they had much better and more expensive players.
This way PSG could be in the Champions League final match for the first time and this could be a great achievement for them and specifically for this coach Enrique. But it seems Mbappe's last chance to be in the final match with PSG fails and he will leave the team without any Champions League achievements.
However, one good reason for Dortmund to have this good performance was the great defensive performance they had against PSG.



I think not only your prediction but many people out there are also wrong in their predictions because the home match will likely give PSG more motivation to show that they really deserve to be in the final like several seasons ago, especially since they are only one goal behind, that can be seen It's easy for PSG to catch up and even take the lead in this match, but you can see that they played as well as possible but strangely the 30 attempts they had all failed.

For Dortmund, this was certainly a surprise because they were not a team that was taken into account from the group phase because since the group phase they were already in a tough group with AC Milan and also PSG, but in fact, since the group phase, Dortmund became a fairly stable team so that they finally made it to the final.
Maybe their surprise will continue in the final? because whoever their opponents will be, Dortmund are still not the favorites to become champions.
For Dortmund to have survived in that tough group, it should tell you that they are a good team with a public view of being an underdog. Since the group stage, they've been coordinated with their style of play, they don't have players that are widely known, the team is more of a conglomeration of average players with one mindset.

PSG on the other hand played fantastically, they pushed for goals, they created opportunities to score, they literally pressured Dortmund the whole of that game, no doubt they deserve a draw at least, but it was just so unfortunate that the opportunities  mbappé and dembele had didn't just get through to the net, for me I think it was more of hard luck for Paris Saint Germain.
169  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: [Bitcoin] List the exchange that offer p2p on: May 08, 2024, 04:17:10 PM
Here a list of exchanges based on my research. It may not be accurate tho but from my experience and information gathered.

EXCHANGE REQUIREMENTS REMARKS
Binance Compulsory KYC P2P Removed
Huobi Compulsory KYC P2P Removed
OKex OKX Compulsory KYC P2P Removed
NairaEx Compulsory KYC According to claims P2P Available Never used before
Paxful Compulsory KYCP2P Available Beware of Scammers
Mexc Exchange KYC required for trading [for registration KYC not required] P2P Available
Bybit Compulsory KYC P2P Available
Kucoin Compulsory KYC P2P Available [Best for now]
Bybarter No Required KYC P2P Available


One thing is certain that no matter the effort the government put to regulate of destroy what has been they only will end up creating more opportunities because a lot of people await to see their next action to provide a solution.

This thing way government dey do now, na to open more opportunities for more exchange companies, because e go make more people to seek for alternative, and in doing that, they are literally opening doors for more exchange we didn't know before that they existed.
My advise is that, you shouldn't even wait to see the next action of this government, because we know that all these policies is to stifle crypto activities, but the good news is, we are always two steps ahead of them.
I agree with you that kucoin is the best for now.

PSG haven't been dangerous enough so far in the way they have built their attacks. They certainly played attacking from the start, but so far they haven't found the goal they were looking for even though there were several good opportunities in the first half. Dembele, Mbappe and the others still failed to take advantage of this opportunity properly, the rest of the performance of Dortmund's defenders still made it difficult for PSG to score goals.

Dembele had to lower his ambition a little when in front of Kobel. If it is still possible to pass the ball to a colleague who is standing away, do not immediately kick from a narrow direction.
Earlier Dembele's opportunity could have resulted in a goal if he passed to Zaire-Emery with one or two touches.
PSG's courage to kick hard against Dortmund's goal was good.

PSG must be careful with Dortmund's counterattacks. Ademeyi was too fast for Marquinhos.
If Donnarumma is not ready, several times like what happened in the first half will result in goals.

I favor PSG to win this match. You?

I think PSG has been good in attack but unfortunately, Dortmund's defense is also playing well and disciplined and that way, it is still difficult for PSG to be able to score in this match. I'm just worried, when PSG is focusing on attacking and suddenly Dortmund counterattacks and if this happens perfectly, then it is very possible that Dortmund is able to score first in this match. But yes, maybe in the second half there is a good change that might make PSG succeed in making a goal but if PSG fails to win in this match then it is evident, PSG is still not strong enough to qualify because Dormtund is also still playing with 11 players in this match.
I agree with you, Dortmund where very disciplined with their defensive technique and where able to use it to their own advantage, it was more of a counter attack formation where everybody falls back to defend and also force the attack when there is an opportunity.
I overheard somebody seating next to me as we where watching the game saying, don't be surprised that Dortmund will continue looking like an underdog till they will lift the trophy. I said to him, well this is football, anything can happen, however Dortmund have really tried to have come this far.
PSG actually played a fantastic game, they had lots and lots of opportunity to equalize the game, but hard luck was there greatest undoing in these encounter.
171  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: May 07, 2024, 12:03:15 PM
I just entered this topic for about an hour, and I will start looking at the details from today. But I have been looking at this topic for an hour with ideas and my mind is useful enough to invest. I will start investing according to everyone's idea and make my investment long term.  Because everyone here says long term investment is only more profitable, I will definitely show you the scenario of investing with proof from the day I start investing. So I am interested enough to invest now.
There's no need to show us proof of your bitcoin investment when you start investing in bitcoin because it isn't advisable to show your bitcoin online so that you will not be attacked. If you invest with everyone's ideas, you will not hold your bitcoin for a long term because you will not have enough money left to take care of your unforeseen problems. As a newbie, I will advise you to invest in bitcoin with the DCA strategy so that you will be accumulating bitcoin and also take care of your emergencies as they arise. The DCA strategy will help to control the volatile part of bitcoin in your portfolio and also control your emotions in deciding when to buy bitcoin. With the DCA strategy, you can also buy bitcoin even if the price is increasing or decreasing.
To get something good we have to do the right thing at the right time. Every dip is a golden opportunity to buy bitcoins. “You can't afford to invest a lot of money at once?” No problem, you invest using the DCA method. Remember that, it is possible to earn big from Bitcoin, when our investment Portfolio  is high, and this investment Portfolio, we should grow as much as possible with each dip of Bitcoin. The higher our investment Portfolio, the higher the earning potential.

I divide my fund into three parts, first part I will invest, second part I will save for later investment, and third part emergency fund. Emergency fund is what I keep in case I invest and I don't have to sell the investment if I face danger. Because I don't earn normally, I am currently studying, so what I have saved for investment is the money taken from my parents for tiffin and some special purpose. I keep funds strictly for my most urgent needs and to meet the basic needs of people.


What you said is actually a good thing, but you need to understand that in Bitcoin investment, it's very important to have a source of income that keeps you going, because if it's from the money for upkeep from your parents that you divided and use part of it to invest, it will definitely be unsustainable on the longer run, because I believe that the emergency fund you are talking about wouldn't be enough to weather the storm when in serious financial needs, and that may compel you to temper with your investment, so it's best you have a source of income.

Another thing why I said so is that, like 20% of your income will be enough to invest in Bitcoin, and the remaining 80% can take care of your emergency funds and other expenses, but this investment plan you are using will definitely not be sustainable on the longer run.

As a student that is not working allocating 20 percent from the money het gets from his parents might just be too much, he needed to allocate a more conservative percentage of  about 5 to 10 percent in to Bitcoin and use the rest for his other needs so that he can be accumulating Bitcoin without stress or seeing it as a burden or struggling as a student that is no working but depends on his parents. However it is better to comfortablely go wimpy without struggling thou it will take a longer period of time to arrive at a good size of Bitcoin which is better than being a no coiner.
I agree with you on the percentage range the student should be alloting to his bitcoin accumulation, given the fact that his parents are still sorting his bills. Academic work comes with a lot of financial responsibilities, you should be able to strike a balance between what you have to spend on your day to day routine as a student and the amount you keep for your investment. Bitcoin investment is not sprint but a marathon race, which allows you time to accumulate little by little over time.
172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 07, 2024, 11:40:28 AM
I think the problem here is not Eric Ten hag's men, the problem is Eric Ten hag himself. I remember when Ronaldo was complaining about ten hag, a lot of people where saying ooh because Ronaldo feels he is too big to be talked to, that is why he is casting aspersions on the coach. here we are with the same problem Ronaldo was talking about. It so obvious that the job of being a manager of an elite club like Manchester United is too big for ten hag, it better the management look for a new coach for the club for next season. Ronaldo on the other hand is still banging goals.

The tactical formation Ten hag has been coming up with these players is not working, I don't know if I should blame the players themselves or ten hag on these issue but United needs a technical pattern for them to be known for, a pattern that will help them win their matches, the arsenal's and the Man city's of now have a technical way of playing to undo their opponents but I cannot say the same for united.

Another Audio Manchester United fan who takes all his facts from social media. I'm a huge fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, he had his own issues and I have said that severally here. Also, Manchester needed to press more and stuff, but there was ways Erik Ten Hag could have still merged with him but after failing to report to training during pre-season, I believed Erik Ten Hag used benching as a means to punish him internally, so many things you don't know because there's two sides and even three sides kf every story.

It's not about short term, you aksk have to plan for long term. Manchester United squad has no quality, if it was a quality side I would agree. Have you also forgotten how much he did after Ronaldo left Manchester United? I love Cristiano Ronaldo no doubt but he needed to leave, he had a winning mind, well shaped mentality and stuff but his body wasn't giving out any of this. It was hurting to see that my goat would leave that way.

I'm tired if singing this like a song, Erik Ten Hag is not the problem with Manchester United. Yeah, he had some his decisions going sideways but I'm backing the bald headed Dutchman come rain and sun.

The pace of football has increased and you can't do that with likes of Casemiro who has lost his pace, Erikson with heart issues and Scott MC Tominay who cannot detect a game or move three to four steps ahead of the game. I take most of you here as spammers because you just come on here to catch fun and stuff.

Good picture of Arsenal and Manchester City..... Do you know how many seasons it took Mikel Arteta to get this good? Three! Erik Ten Hag did good in his first season but you want to crucify him for just one season? I won't compare Erik Ten Hag with Pep Guardiola but Mikel Arteta?

Erik Ten Hag has done way better than Mikel Arteta if you're to compare them first two seasons. It's the rebuilding, it takes time and patience which recent Manchester United fans no longer have.

You said Ronaldo's body wasn't giving  to all the things you mentioned, but he was banging goals for united that season, he ended as the club highest goal scorer above Rashford that was the striker. He was still ready to give in his all for united, it was Erik ten hag who couldn't manage the little crisis they had as he was supposed to, at least if not as a coach but as a big brother.  The same Ronaldo your talking about his body not giving to all of the things you mentioned, has been scoring more goals and the people you think are better of, are still struggling week in, week out to come up with tactics that can help them win games but yet nothing is coming out.

If the likes of casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Scott MC Tominay have developed slow pace, is it not the duty of the coach to look for replacement, why manage the situation. No matter how you try absorb the blame from Erik ten hag, the bucks stop's at his table.

173  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Is this government just all about taxes? on: May 07, 2024, 11:08:08 AM
There are exceptions:

Exempted from the levy include loan disbursements and repayments, salary payments, intra-account transfers within the same bank or between different banks for the same customer, intra-bank transfers between customers of the same bank.

Also exempted from the levy were inter-branch transfers within a bank, cheque clearing and settlements, ⁠Letters of Credits, ⁠Banks’ recapitalisation-related funding only bulk funds movement from collection accounts, savings and deposits including transactions involving long-term investments, among others.

Fintech among? I can see that banks, other financial institutions and payment service providers are among. I think this will encourage intrabank transactions.
It has always been like these for intra-bank transfer, as most banks don't charge for intra-banking transactions.
I think it's a levy for them use and be able to get more money from the fintech companies, as most Nigerians have migrated to internet Banking system.
The president wants to use the same template he used in lagos state, at the national level, and it has been working perfectly as Nigerians are known to be docile and accept whatever the government throws at them.  We go pay pay tire. The nomenclature is another thing that is making me laugh, "cybersecurity levy on all transactions".

Hi everyone, here is another example why you can't and shouldn't launder money using cryptocurrency.

https://crypto.news/heir-to-cartier-empire-arrested-for-attempted-money-laundering-using-usdt/

Many newbies and beginners believe that crypto is a way they can move funds without the government knowing, you are wrong, in fact crypto is a very bad way of laundering money, everything you do can be traced.

This guy is charged with drug trafficking and laundering of funds using USDT, I can't stop laughing when I read this news, USDT that's even wired to clap on illegal funds, it is centralized in and out.

If your source of money is not clean, crypto is not your home, where you should feel safe.

Some people might say why USDT, but let me tell you, even with Bitcoin and others you can still be traced, you will leave some footprint behind, it could take longer but one day, you will make a mistake.

Abstain yourself from illegal ways of making money, learn a skill and you will be set for life.
From the storyline, is not sounding as if Cartier was using USDT because he doesn't want to be traced, but it was more like him using a method that will be easy for him to launder his loot, because obviously the world will see him as rich guy who earns legitimate money from his business. The shell companies linked Cartier where using Centralized exchange, which will certainty need your KYC for you to even make transactions in USDT, so it was a deliberate method for him to use to launder money.

For me, the story line should be, Why would you want to still go into illicit business, when you where born into a wealthy family with so much left for you to inherit. From the evidence obtained, it is certain that the rich dude will do his term.

 To be honest, I don't see them making top 6 being that they lost to a not so strong side like Crystal Palace and if they couldn't control this one, is it when they meet Arsenal or Newcastle or Brighton they will be able to do something? The thing is that United really needs a reshuffling and it's embarrassing that they had to be taught some lessons by a team that isn't contending for anything. They just got their asses thrashed (4)-(0) reasons. 😩😩😩
They have lost the opportunity even though there are a few games left but still want a more decent position for the Europa League zone it still seems a little complicated if Manchester United's performance is like this.

What I think at the moment is why the red club in the EPL always throws away opportunities that are actually very good in front of the eyes because previously Liverpool also did the same thing where the chance to win them was very big but for now they have to give up that position and at the moment it is also happening for Manchester United.

Their chance to be in the Champions League zone a few weeks ago was actually still there but with the results of 4 draws 2 defeats and 1 win obtained from the last 7 matches they did it made them have to accept that this season was a season that was not too good for them so now it depends on how the rest of the match whether they will remain in a better position in the remaining 3 matches or will actually remain in their current position it depends on how Manchester United do the match especially in the rest of this match there are still Arsenal, Newcastle and Brighton where currently Arsenal are championship contenders for Manchester City while for Newcastle is still a dark horse status even though Brighton can currently be said to be an ordinary club in contrast to before but still they can be troublesome.
After the game, Erik ten Hag was interviewed about the game and he was heard saying it was a disappointing and embarrassing performance by his men and I couldn't agree more because at the moment no team is afraid to play against them as UTD have become such easy picking for the not so strong clubs. I find it quite funny that Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and the others thought to pick up one injury or the other in this game but may be available for the match against Arsenal, well it won't matter if they are available or not, I think they will be another club the Gunners will win at home and away.
I think the problem here is not Erik Ten hag's men, the problem is Erik Ten hag himself. I remember when Ronaldo was complaining about ten hag, a lot of people where saying ooh because Ronaldo feels he is too big to be talked to, that is why he is casting aspersions on the coach. here we are with the same problem Ronaldo was talking about. It so obvious that the job of being a manager of an elite club like Manchester United is too big for ten hag, it better the management look for a new coach for the club for next season. Ronaldo on the other hand is still banging goals.

The tactical formation Ten hag has been coming up with these players is not working, I don't know if I should blame the players themselves or ten hag on these issue but United needs a technical pattern for them to be known for, a pattern that will help them win their matches, the arsenal's and the Man city's of now have a technical way of playing to undo their opponents but I cannot say the same for united.

Manchester United vs Castiel Place is going to be an interesting and competitive match between the two teams today.  Although we saw Manchester United in good form last season, but their performance in the current season is absolutely bad.  Whereas Manchester United was in the top position of the points table last season but this season they are not even close to the top position, they have played with a lot of frustration which is why they are not in a good position in the Premier League standings. However, if they win today's match with Castiel Place, they will be able to move to the sixth position in the points table. And if they can go to this position, they can definitely appear in the Premier League with good results in the next season. Since Manchester United is not in good form this season, but if they can bring good stars in their team next season, there will be enough chances to win the EPL, Manchester United can't do well in this season, so they have to think about next season.
Man United needs to win in this match because if they experience another draw it will make their position drop in the standings. Of the last five matches, Man United was only able to achieve one win and the remaining four ended in draws. Now Man United is in eighth place in the standings because there are many problems at Man United so they are unable to compete to be in the top three. It is difficult to compete with other top clubs if Man United's strength is like now because many players look so selfish.

A major overhaul must be carried out because even though their strength is still the same as last season, they are still having difficulty competing this season. The defense line is a problem because they do not have suitable replacement players when the main players are injured, which affects their playing performance.
As it stands now, it is not looking like Manchester United are going to win these game, as it's 2-0 already with a likelihood of crystal palace to main their stance.  it's unfortunate that Manchester United are going to lose more points, because they will be playing against arsenal on Sunday and Newcastle the next, these are tough games which are very unlikely for them to win.
Crystal palace have been making use of the their wings and bit of midfield control on these game, while Manchester United have so far not been composed In their attacking formation.

I am so much concerned to why Nigerians government is banning the use of p2p on some crypto apps. To their allegations, it's said the crypto is affecting the currency and it also aids money laundry. Can anyone enlighten if what the government is doing is the right thing. The government left the banking sector and blames binance and other crypto companies.
The Nigerian government always comes up with a lot of excuses just to undo the crypto community. Is Nigeria the only country in sub-saharan Africa to use P2P, why are other African countries not have the same issue. My own question is, how is P2P affecting the countries currency, does the value of the countries currency depend on P2p?, They should explain to us. How does P2P aid money laundering and why is the laundering happening only in Nigeria?

With the way things are going and most governments being against bitcoin and crypto because criminals are using it, how would it be if Government finds a way to regulate it and all or most countries adopts it as legal tender?.
How will it affect the market?
Have you ever thought about that?.
OP, Your first question is how would it be if government finds ways to regulate bitcoin, first of all bitcoin is decentralized, it was not made for government to regulate or control. While you're second question is about a country adopting bitcoin as a legal tender and how it is going to affect the market. The adoption of bitcoin will certainly skyrocket the value of bitcoin because it will lead to more people within that country to adopt it which will lead a high surge in demand, this will in turn push up the price of bitcoin. More so,  it will also be the responsibility of that Government to adopt mechanism within its system that will easily make the function of bitcoin as a legal tender easy for her citizens.

AltCoins are like the media being hijacked by the by the government.
They acts like the politicians with their unfulfill able promises during campaigns. They just go about spreading what the people needed to hear because they knows the truth would always be bittered and discouraging.
A lot of Investors has fallen in the pit of dump coins due to greeds and desperacies of chasing all that contents being hyped about somany Alt and Meme Coins which has been dumped and nowhere to be found in the market trends anymore and more investors are still falling victim as much as the hyping of these coins stays active.

When would people find reputation in uniqueness that keeps an integrity without having those campaign structures of hyping like the AltCoins and the bitcoin?
While bitcoin being the first crypto currency which has never fluctuated from its fundamental potentials right from the origin of development, it has seems so great, resourceful with reputabilities and yet some investors tends to hover over in investing on the other coins that likely to emulate their potentials from the king of the crypto currencies known to be BITCOIN.
AltCoins are conic cryptocurrencies while bitcoin is a reputable Cryptocurrency but the desperacies and those with the ignorance of knowledge would never get it right untill they gets to the bottom of regrets.




We all know that the dexterity bitcoin has cannot be over emphasize, because it's a coin that has been tested and trusted. However there are still altcoins out their that do have some potentials, there are testimonies of Nigerians that have bought some altcoins and at the end of the day they had more than double of their investment, the onus lies on you the individual to do your research thoroughly, for you to find out the authenticity and potentiality some altcoins have before you even attempt to invest.

Courtois is back after a very long injury time period. When I saw him on the bench of the first leg game against Bayern Munich I got really surprised. Because they said that he returned but got injured once again. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to play in the remaining games. But here we are. He played for 90 minutes against Cadiz recently. I wonder whether Ancelotti will put him in the starting eleven in the rematch here as well.  Huh

It looks like there is only Alaba left who is injured at Real Madrid side. This is very positive news for them. Now I expect them to be stronger at defending as Militao is also back in business.  Smiley  I don't think Bayern Munich will manage to eliminate them at Santiago Bernabeu. I still expect this thing to end in regular time.
There is no point for courtois to come back now, he should just get prepared for the next season, the current Madrid goal keeper has been very incredible with his performance, his brilliance was put to test against Manchester city, when he was able to save two penalties out of the five kicks. It will be a tough choice for Madrid next season, if they will bench these current goal keeper for the return of courtois, because keeping a goal keeper of that kind of quality on the bench, will certainly make room for other clubs to come for him.

When it comes to Bernabeu, Madrid always force the attack on the opponent, they play as people that understand the four cardinal points of the field, the first leg against Bayern Munich has already thought them a Lesson that Bayern shouldn't be treated with kid gloves as they can actually take you on surprisingly. One major thing Madrid have at this stage that is helping them stand solid are the experience players on their side, because experience helps you to approach a game differently.
