161  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: No one has gone broke taking profits, always take profits. on: January 27, 2024, 03:00:02 PM
I started learning how to trade and my teacher just told me this advice that no one has gone broke taking profits when trading. I have always wanted to earn Bitcoin but I have been confused how to start then decided that I'll learn how to trade. I have been reading through the forum and I see lots of advice about holding and it's looking like if you sell you're not doing the correct thing. The first advice I have received is that I should always take profits. My teacher said the profits you take is better than all imagining profits you'll think that you can get in the future if you keep holding. He didn't say holding is bad but I got advice not to neglect the profits that I can take. I got this advice and I want to share it with everyone, always take profits.
Your teacher ought to have clarify to you the differences between investment in Bitcoin and trading of cryptocurrencies they are two different ball m game being a profitable trader you won't get broke because your profits would be exchanged or converted to fiat for other purposes and have funds to spent, however to attain the feat of becoming a profitable trader it takes a lot of personal effortsl,  sacrifices, learning the skills, charting time, leaning both fundamental and Technical Analysis, meanwhile as an investor of Bitcoin you might get broke if there is no backup to finance other personal needs because it takes time before earning some decent profits as cryptocurrency hodler that is only during the bull run

I agreed that both land and Bitcoin are valuable assets especially if the bought land is the highbrow area however a person also needed some funds to buy at a cheaper price, personally I buying of Bitcoin at a cheaper price is preferable than buying a land because the might have a fixed price which might be affordable with the available fund this is where Bitcoin has a comparative advantage over land because whatever available amount can be used to buy Bitcoin compared to buying a land, with reference to all the previous bearish runs in the price of Bitcoin firstly in the wake of COVID-19 epidermic it price dumped it provides opportunity to buy dip with any available fund unlike buying of land.

Last season we saw Arsenal's lack of consistency towards the end. Until the end of the season, Arsenal was number one in the points table but they performed poorly in the last few matches and Manchester City took advantage of that opportunity and with a great performance at the end, Manchester City became the Premier League champions last season. This season, Liverpool is performing consistently in the Premier League and Manchester City's performance is quite good. In this case, I don't see much chance of Arsenal to be in the top two positions in the Premier League this season. Either Manchester City or Liverpool can win the title this season. However, from the position Liverpool are in now, if they perform well in the last few matches, Arsenal will also have some chances.
I will not be surprised when everything still boiled down to  Manchester city still becoming champions of the premier league for three times straight. Manchester are very much consistent and stable than any of the of two teams you mentioned although Liverpool id a really tough nut to crack and I feel they are the only team that still pose a treat to the likes of Manchester city but still I believe city will come out victorious especially now that the midfield genius is back and ready to perform @ Kevin de byrune.
If Man City eventually wins the league it going to be four consecutive times thus another record broken because there is no any premier league club that had broken that record, though it's two early to predict the likely winner with 17 matches to go and Liverpool had become a strong contender now, though Arsenal had some bad results in the some of their previous matches but came back strongly against Crystal Palace by defeating them 5-0 if they are consistent with that performance then they can as well become a contender too, however premier league had become very competitive such that many underdog teams do create upset and the winner of the trophy might emerge in the last week of the league matches.

Very surprising news for Liverpool fans. jurgen klop and some coaching staff will resign at the end of the season. must start looking for a quality replacement coach if you don't want to immediately become a mid-table mediocre team.
Maybe Xabi Alonso is the best candidate to replace Jurgen Klop.
I also agree that Xabi Alonso would be a very good replacement for Jurgen Klop, Xabi Alonso being an ex player of the club couple with his brilliant and impressive performance at Bayern Leverkusen, Steven Gerrard would have been another option unfortunately his short stint in Aston Villa was miserable and was consequently sacked, Xabi Alonso had been doing tremendous job at Bayern Leverkusen the  club presently top Bundesliga table having displaced a once dominating club Bayern Munich from the top to the second position, a return to Liverpool as their would be a welcome development though EPL is more competitive than Bundesliga, however if given the job he would definitely continue where Jurgen Klopp stop by

Right now I want your important advice on how to convince them.

I think one of the method you can adopt to convince him is explaining the practical aspect and benefits of investing in Bitcoin, one of the ways is physically showing him your own Bitcoin in your wallet and how it price had been increasing during bull run as well as exchanging few of your Bitcoin to fiat in his presence thus to let him know that virtual currency is also a real currency with that you would be able to convince him that investing in Bitcoin is not a ponzi scheme and not a scam and encouraging him to start with small investment first by creating a wallet and sending the coin into his new wallet just to have feel of real live investment in Bitcoin and I believe with time he would change his perception about Bitcoin.
166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 26, 2024, 12:58:20 PM

It's a decision that will greatly affect Liverpool next season, that is if Liverpool doesn't hire another good coach, but I honestly think it will be very difficult for Liverpool next season. 
This decision will sorely affect Liverpool but they will cope. It's just a matter of getting a new coach like you suggested and even though they don't get one as good as Jurgen Klopp, I feel the players will be able to carry on his legacy. That is if the new coach's behavior won't force them to leave the team though.
 For me, these upcoming fixtures won't be much of a challenge for Liverpool. We've seen how extraordinary they've been performaning even with the likes of Mo Salah and Trent Arnold Alexander have been absent so I believe they will do better on those games, not that they won't struggle but if they maintain the way they've been playing, I'm sure they'd come out the winners.
Jurgen Klopp had paid his due to the club though the club would definitely miss his managerial experience, however the club had won EPL title, UCL league trophy and other trophies which club hasn't won for so many years was won by him, however appointing a new manager wouldn't be a problem but how the manager is going to cope with high technicality of the premier league, recall since the exit and retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson from Man Utd and Arsene Wenger from Arsenal those club struggled infact Man Utd had changed many managers, I think Liverpool might have a similar problem because they would hardly get a quality manager as good as Jurgen Klopp in Europe.

Truly a meme investor can become a millionaire within a short period of time, however the task of choosing as well as screening out the potential meme coins out of the numerous meme coins in the market is a big herculean task of course there are also plenty scam meme coins also in the market too, there are also many meme coins advertisement on twitter each promising multiple profits when invested in them, of course there is going to be few of those meme coins that would trend and become successful in the future I believe a thorough research and further digging would help to unveil them
168  Economy / Economics / Re: Passion for skills. on: January 25, 2024, 06:15:23 PM


So, my question is very simple. What skills are you currently learning or have learned and are earning from, and what is the reason why you picked it?
Trading is the only skill that I am eagerly learning with passion though I had traded both crypto and forex market I am yet to reach the level of perfection and consistent profit earning thus I am not resting on my oars I will continue to learn every details and nitty gritty of trading though I had few years of learning and studying of chart patterns and few period of live trading experience, meanwhile the main reason why I picked trading is to be financial independence in the nearest future because as soon as I begin to earn profit consistently I would quit 9-5 job to fully concentrate on trading after raising enough capital to fund my trading account.
169  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do not use more than 2x leverage on: January 25, 2024, 04:53:58 PM
Totally agreed .Its very risky for any traders to over leverage when opening positions will be much better to accumulate small profits than go for a huge one and get liquidated easily ,I have lost so much over-leveraging during my days as a new trader  with time i have since learnt my lessons and refrain from such bad trading habits.
When one trades with high leverage the chances of liquidation are high because when you go to trade with a $100 budget and use 10x leverage it will trade an amount equal to $1000 and if the price of your chosen coin is up 10% or  Down and if it is against your entry you will lose your $100 and the trade will be cancelled.  There if you take 2x leverage then the price of that coin has to change by 50% for you to liquidate.  High leverage means more profit and more loss.  So it is better to use less leverage to be less risk
The higher the leverage the higher the risk and the chances of getting liquidated very quick , I think greediness and getting rich quickly prompted many newbies traders to opt for high leverage of more than 2x without taking into consideration  high volatility in the prices of cryptocurrencies, from personal experience I had once use a leverage of 10x when future trading a crypto pair on Binance exchange immediately the price reverses and went against my entry point I got liquidated in a very short period of time though I traded with small fund which I can afford to lose just to learn and have a feel of high leverage trading unfortunately it was a bad experience.

Every team that wants to achieve something must show a reaction after several defeats. Arsenal still ranks 3rd in the Premier League standings.
Lately Arsenal has proven that they are ready to come back to there good performance because checking there position on the premier League and there pattern of play you will agree with me that Arsenal is back on there feet to compete for the league champion.
Arsenal 5-0  thrashing of Crystal Palace cannot be used to validate their return to their winning ways until they win three to four consecutive matches before I can agreed that they are back in title challenge, though the team always play well both in term of ball possessions and plenty shot on goal unfortunately lack ability to convert those chances to goal only if Arteta can address that issue of lack of converting those chances to goals then that is another yardstick to be used so as to be considered  for the title, meanwhile the team next three fixtures are very crucial for the team to continue with the title challenge they would play Nothingham Forest, Liverpool and West Ham respectively these are tough matches though winnable.
171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been able to win a game given to you in the dream? on: January 24, 2024, 04:18:47 PM
I think it possibly to receive some message through dreams though applicable to few people who are gifted in that aspect, though I had never had such a dream even as a soccer bettor no outcome of any match was ever reveal to me, though I believe some of those stories as true not a cookup story for instance I read stories and came across few gamblers who approaches people who mentally unstable to obtain lotto numbers which they play some of them claimed they use to win handsomely thus if those who believe or claim to receiving sure bets or numbers in their dreams and truly won their bets should utilize their gift or talent in making money.

After going through the thread below titled "Who says you can't be a millionaire in sports betting?"
(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5475889.0)
I think it's possible using some sporting strategies. I wish to know which strategy have you been using to win big as a gambler.
My colleagues prefers betting on a single match especially "correct score" which carries a big odd and bet with good money of course to me it's highly risky to predict the exact of a match though some of my colleagues had won massively through this type of bettings, personally staking accumulated bets with reasonable odds though not up to a month, my usual type of betting is a maximum of 5 or 6 odds with the possibility of triple win of my stakes or double win amount staked, I don't believe in betting on many games that would last up to a month in a bid to win massively because of it high accumulated odds though risky to me I think it would be too boring waiting for 30 days.
173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 24, 2024, 11:37:19 AM

Arsenal have not yet secured anything for themselves, just like Aston Villa, and it is too early to say that Arsenal has more chances than Aston Villa, besides, Tottenham is quite good this season, so for these three the whole fight is ahead. Arsenal is prone to not very good series, they can lose several matches in a row against not the strongest teams, if they repeat this again before the end of the season, they may even be left without the Champions League zone.
Actually, the top 5 teams still have a chance to secure themselves in the UCL zone because they have a narrow point difference, only the teams are able to maintain their consistency otherwise they will lose that place. Arsenal sometimes appear impressive but sometimes also appear less impressive and are still prone to losing when facing average teams so that if Arsenal is not able to be consistent then they will lose their place in the UCL. The same thing also happens to Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur who are still not very impressive at all. the match they are facing. Meanwhile, Man City and Liverpool are still quite impressive and are still on the winning track.
Though Aston Villa look strong and formidable now, would the able be to sustain their present form till the end of the season so as to clinch a UCL spot? I don't think so,  I am tipping Tottenham to qualify for the last spot, Arsenal though not a sure title contenders yet has the capability to clinch a top 4 spot, meanwhile the title race is between Liverpool and Man City for now though the overall distance in term of points between those top 5 is very close and narrow as you rightly said, however the more formidable team has the quality in terms of players and the depth to remain consistent in term of performance till the end of the league unlike Arsenal, Aston Villa and Tottenham.

The Ghanaian national team drew against mozambique, and the entire Ghanaian fans and press team where outraged by the performance of their black star's. in their minds eye they feel the Mozambique team where a weaker side for them to win and qualify for the next round, but rather they drew 2-2 and crashed out of the AFCON competition.
One press man was vigorously abusing the Ghanaian coach as he was walking pass them, calling him unprintable names.
As gambler and a football fan, it most appropriate for you to always show a good level of emotional intelligence whenever results doesn't go your way, because that's the spirit of sportsmanship,
The results must not always go your way as a gambler, you will lose some and you will win some.

I also watched a short video clip were some fans vented anger on their national team, I think such kind of embracing behavior might discourage some of the Europe based players to stop coming to represent the country in their subsequent international matches, though Mozambique might be weaker compared to the star-studded Black Star of Ghana, their should be aware that a lot of lowly rated national team had up their game thus creating upsets especially in the ongoing AFCON for instance Ivory coast is the verge of being eliminated after losing 0-4 to an underdog Equitorian Guinea, Cape Verde is another tournament underdog who topped their table in a group which consist of Ghana and Egypt
175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 23, 2024, 09:03:13 PM
Onana, Manchester United's goalkeeper, did not perform well when playing for Cameroon at AFCON in the round 2 group c match. Cameroon then lost 3-1 against Senegal.
In the third group c match between Gambia vs Cameroon, Onana was benched and Ondoha was entrusted with the goalkeeper position in the ongoing match.

The Cameroon coach realized after seeing and assessing Onana's abilities when they lost against Senegal and Rigobert Song didn't want Cameroon to lose again by placing Onana as the main goalkeeper against Gambia.

My question is, why is Erik ten Hag too confident in Onana to guard Manchester United's goal, who often makes mistakes when Manchester United play?
There is no valid answer because in almost all Manchester United matches, Erik ten Hag always plays Onana as the main choice.
Without Onana, Cameroon won against Gambia and Cameroon qualified for the next round with Senegal who were group winners.
Ondoa played well based on the statistics he obtained and this is far from Onana's statistics when Cameroon lost to Senegal.

ten Hag will watch and assess Manchester United's second goalkeeper during the FA Cup match. If it is still possible, ten Hag will look at and assess the second goalkeeper again when Manchester United plays Wolves. The second goalkeeper's statistics will be comparable to Onana by him.
Tactic adopted by Erik ten Hag was the main reason for picking Onana as Man Utd first choice goalkeeper which is based on Onana ability to use both feet perfectly and his ability to launch counterattack with quick passes  as well as starting a build up from the back, I believe he possessed all those qualities right from Ajax a club formerly manager by Erik ten Hag, though is consistently prone to mistakes, however at the country level the Cameroon manager has his own tactic or style of play which might not necessary or compulsory play Onana as their goalkeeper as a matter of fact they only needed a goal stopper who would get their needed result.
176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: January 23, 2024, 08:47:18 PM
The Super Eagles are playing average football but they are getting the results. They have not given us the confidence that they can go all the way to winning the title. So far, only a handful of the players have impressed me. The other players have not displayed the skill and stamina needed to play African football. Victor Osimhen gets chances and he throws them away, the Osimhen at Napoli would have scored those goals yesterday but the Osimhen at the AFCON is shooting wide. I think it’s time for José Peseiro to trust his other strikers.
Many Nigerian fans are quite disappointed with the performances of the Super Eagle in this competition, the team hardly retain any string of passes before being dispossessed by their opponents and most of the match played they team sat back and play defensively leaving on Osimhen off front thus isolated him without any support that is why only few chances was created by the team even the few chances that came their way Osimhen squandered them, many supporters are of the opinion that the team might not pass the round of 16 based on the average and mediocre performance displayed by team so far, they narrowly won two of their matches and scored only 2 goals apart from own goal scored by Guinea Bissau player.

I don't know how people staked over 40 Million PIE tokens on this very new platform.

Please share your honest suggestion, i already have faced alot in new projects on BSC chain.

https://applepies.co
It's more like a modernized ponzi scheme I don't think or believe any project with 10% daily reward is feasible it can't be sustained on a long term perspective thus a very suspicious project, there is a possibility of regular payment for few number of days thereafter disappeared into thin air after collecting investors funds in other word stay clear out of the project to avoid stories, recall there had been widespread of scam projects in crypto market with extra research scam project can be screen out especially projects that usually bogus reward

Super Eagles will be facing their last opponent in the current AFCON going on in Ivory Coast and this is a game that will determine if the Eagles will qualify or not with just 4pt and sitting at 2nd position which is not too comfortable at the moment with the host at 3rd place to face the group leaders Equatorial Guinea.
The Super Eagles have no excuse to give if they don't win this game against Guinea Bissau because they (Guinea Bissau) are the weakest nation in that group and every other teams who play against them are sure of securing all 3pt.
For the host nation I don't see them going into this encounter against Equatorial Guinea as one easy game, it would be a do or die affair, they host nation need a win and nothing less than that, same goes to the Super Eagles, because as it stands Ivory Coast and Nigeria are the favorite to win that group or qualify from that group but now they (Ivory Coast and Nigeria) find themselves in a complicated situation.
Who are coming out from this group?
The super eagles game is ongoing now and the Nigerian team are playing a boring draw with Guinea Bissau. I don't know why the Nigerian team always put itself in a complicated situation. They ought to have scored goals by now and take control of the game. I don't know but they should be careful before they get any unfavorable score line that will be detrimental to them.
Nigeria Super Eagle is currently leading by a lone goal courtesy of an own goal by Sangante of Guinea Bissau, truly the match hasn't live up to expectations especially the way Super Eagle played there are passing the ball rather played long passes while the Guinea Bissa played more possessive ball though the Super Eagle almost played new set of team with few of their key players rested, meanwhile the other match Ivory coast is losing 0-1 to Equitorian Guinea that result had put the host country in a precarious position though still at half hopefully they can turn things around in the second half.

The fact that investing in Bitcoin doesn't make the investor to be very discomfortable to the extent of not sitting properly at home as well depriving themselves with some basic necessities, of course the consequences of some of those actions can cause some  health issues or challenges arising from improper sitting or sleeping with a good mattress all the name of saving cost and using extra income to buy Bitcoin, truly there is bountiful reward for hodling Bitcoin for a long term perspective, however from my own point of view I prefer to live moderately comfortable while the extra fund no matter the amount is used for Bitcoin investment
180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 22, 2024, 10:16:24 AM
Liverpool's big win over Bournemouth was very natural because the performance or quality of the Liverpool team was much better than Bournemouth's, so it was not surprising when Liverpool won easily.

Currently, the quality of Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are not much different so it is difficult for us to predict what will happen at the end of the season, but what is certain is that these three teams have the potential to compete fiercely in the race for the Premier League title this season.
I will not underestimate any of these three teams.

It was a really convincing win indeed. In Salah's absence people were wondering what Liverpool were going to do in the games without him. The Bournemouth game was an easy one on paper and Liverpool showed it to us by a solid gameplay. Nunez and Jota scored two goals each to destroy their opponent by 4-0.  Smiley

I'm quite happy for Nunez to score here. Because he really needed some push to improve his performance. This must have made a good impact on his self-confidence. While Salah is away Nunez has more responsibility to keep the scoring productivity at a good level.
Honestly I was a bit worry about how Liverpool would cope in the league in the absence of their playmaker Salah who was on AFCON duty in Ivory coast even without.  Trent Alexander-Arnold, however I was amazed with Liverpool convincing win against Bournemouth in his absence the likes of Nunez, Diogo Jota, Gakpo all performanced brilliantly well without those key players with the win I strongly believe Liverpool would give Man City a run for their money as far the title contenders is concerned, though Arsenal had been very inconsistent so far in the league, however I believe the team would make things difficult for both Liverpool and Man City title bids.
