1601  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If Luck Was Measured In Percentage, Rate Your Luck In 2022 From 0-100 on: January 07, 2023, 02:28:27 PM
I will not say I was super lucky last year in gambling, but my luck was not all that bad because I won some amount of money that I was happy about playing on Livecasino.io.
It's a Simple question -
Let's all assume that luck could be measured in percentage, I want us all to rate our luck in gambling for the year 2022,
From 0 to 100, rate how lucky you were in gambling last year.
On a scale of 0-100, My luck last year was fluctuating between 55 and 45 I will say.

For this new year, I still hope to try out my luck whenever I can, that is gamble some more responsibly.

Okay make we leave all this article, I just gaz put am as e make sense when I read am. Normally we know say road no good for Nigeria like na one of the things we dey lack for this country plus the road no come safe self join (so na double wahala).
If we dey wan consider the region wey get bad road pass, I nor sure say any side get bad roads reach eastern Nigeria. Use Aba road do example Cheesy

I wan know how ur own area be for the bad road matta, how we go solve this problem because when you reason am this bad roads follow for many of our problems as e dey spoil market as transport dey increase, car maintenance dey cost as the road the follow spoil cars then market come dey over cost due to all this factors. How we go fit take achieve an increase in the quality of our road to bring about a safe transportation, wetin you think government fit do or dem dey do wrong?.
In one of residence in Rivers State, the road is in good condition, not just because the government did the road, but also because the residence around there have very good maintenance culture, If dem see pot holes, dem dey fill am us with cement, dem dey tidy their drainage so water nor go dey gather for the road, na street road be that, and na so dem dey maintain am. If Government fit adopt good maintenance culture, dey run maintenance for roads wey dem dun do, e go make sense. To just the road and leave am anyhow nor go well, before person go know e dun spoil.

What would you do if you managed to come across someone else's private key and it's worth an amount that most people would 'prefer not to lose', assuming you have no [idea who it belongs] to or [location clues]? Eg. Sweeping through common books' text for BIP39-based keys.
The place you found the private key matters and can give an idea of who may have it and what to do with it. If it was found on a road like a lonely street, trying to find the identity of the owner will be much more difficult than when you found it in someone's house or private space. If you found it in someone's house and you still even went ahead to check the balance, that's criminal to me, but if you somehow found it on a lonely street, on a public bus, in the park or any public place where it can belong to just any individual, it will not be a crime to know what the seed phrase is worth, not to take it but to be conscious. The owner of the seed phrase will most likely know that they have lost their seed phrase and make efforts to try to get to where they kept the back-up to move their money away, so your duty is just to keep the seed phrase and give the owner some time to move his money out.
 
Note: By keeping it, you have prevented the seed phrase from getting into the hands of people who do not have good intentions and may just want to withdraw everything to another place before the owner can do so.

In the case where it seems like it is something that the owner has completely lost, it is just too sad, but giving it to charity becomes the next best option.
1604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ ENGLISH FA CUP 2022/23 TOURNAMENT - Discussion Thread on: January 06, 2023, 10:22:16 PM
Simply put yes Manchester United should win the game.
The game finally ended 3-1 in favour of Manchester United and Marcus Rashford scores again in another Manchester United game. This team that Erik Ten Hag has put together is definitely one to be feared and even more in attack with rumours of Felix and Aboubakar from Cameron likely to join them on loan.

I wonder why they don't use VAR in FA cup games, VAR technology should be used in all competitions since it has improved decision making process although some decisions with it are still biased, but majorly I feel VAR should be used generally. Some decisions from the officials in the game was not completely accepted as correct and should have warranted a VAR check for verification.

I'm 47 years old,
I am glad that people here can see that at age 47 someone is accepting bitcoins, prove that as we talk to the young about bitcoins, the old should not be left out. 

You are never too old to invest in bitcoins. IMO at age 47 you will be more focused to invest and hodl than a very young person who still has distractions and unnecessary things they want to spend on due to pressure. At age 47, so far as you as you are still willing to learn, you have no problems.

Manchester United should try to bring in a striker first.
Talking about striking options for Manchester United, it looks like we may also see Aboubakar from Cameroon join them on loan as there are strong reports that Manchester United have made a loan offer for him from his current club Al Nassr. Fenerbahçe are also interested in signing him for short term, so it will depend on where he likes to play.

Personally I know he is a very confident player and playing in Manchester United will definitely improve his value by giving him an opportunity to actually prove to the world that he can be world-class after his comparison to Mohamed Salah.

FOOTBALL INJURY UPDATE

Ahead of schedule! Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus is already off crutches and showing promising progress ramping up his rehab in the gym in a boost to Mikel Arteta... less than four weeks after knee surgery ended his World Cup

To give the Arsenal supporters like me some reassuring news and hope about the return of our striker, he can now walk around with crutches, we may get to see him play again sooner than expected.

With the series of tough games Arsenal will play soon, I hope no other of our players get injured.

Victor Oshime outta Napoli seem like a complete joke, they'll never let him go right now because if such happens, they're it'll will surely retard the strength and energy of them other players they still need him.
It looks like he is really happy and comfortable there and it has affected his performance positively. It will be a good decision if he decides to stay or the club decides to keep him, whichever way you decide to put it. Moving to another club at this time may slow down his performance because he will struggle to adapt to another set of players and another type of play. Stay in a club that values your input, win trophies for them first, and then maybe he can decide to move to another league for another experience and form of competition.

INEC just talk this one make all the people wey dun dey complain about the news and videos in circulation about underage voting use am take hold their body small.

If they intend to want to stop this underaged voters before the election comes, make dem review their voters registry, then invalidate all the underaged voters wey dem find for their system. E nor go too dey hard, make dem just start with Northern states cos na there this people plenty pass.

When dem dun run that one first, na that time we go know say dem dun serious.

The first half had ended and the two teams were still playing out a goalless draw.
Not so happy that Chelsea were unable to score, but still happy that they are holding Manchester city goalless ruining their plan to close the gap they have with Arsenal. Haaland also had a good chance but the finishing was not up to the standard we know he can give. Manchester city will definitely play better in the second half because Pep is a tactical genius and must have seen their shortcomings in the first half and made changes. Chelsea should at least do their home crowd, supporters and Arsenal supporters too to either Hold Manchester City or just go for the win.

I thought it would be cool to start the new year bearing gifts.
It will very much appreciated, knowing that many persons, your customers included must have spent a lot during the festive December and new year celebrations, a gift at this time will put smiles on their faces.

The bold print will raise some curiosity and questions from the people who are still completely ignorant about bitcoins, they may think that the printer made a mistake in the spelling of "hodl" which some may believe should be "hold". In trying to debate and find out why it is spelt that way, many people will get to understand.

Nice idea, proud and happy that you have thought about this sort of promotion since I also manage a branding/printing company and know how effective in promotion and powerful branded items can be.
1612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 05, 2023, 04:05:32 AM
At least Arsenal have tried their best to shoot at the opponent's goal and it is a pity that Arsenal were unable to penetrate the defense of Newcastle, this is very unfortunate but it is better to get a draw than to lose and reduce Arsenal's points.
Arsenal played well against Newcastle and we didn't get all three points not because we didn't have players that did their best, or players to sub in, but because their defense was very good and their goal keeper kept him concentration throughout the whole game.

Yes, this is very reasonable considering Arsenal want to maintain the top of the standings but are constrained by the lack of options for their players to meet the club's needs. One of their target players, Mykhalo Mudryk, does not seem to be moving closer to Arsenal, in fact, now the player wants to join Chelsea.
Chelsea are trying to hijack Arsenals move for Mudryk, I don't know where you saw a statement from Mudryk that he was more interested in Chelsea now, I think it is a false statement. Mudyrk deal for Arsenal is still uncertain but Arsenal remains the best choice for him, he fits the profile, and if his club has not been demanding some more money for him, it would have been a dine deal by now.

A surprising result at Selhurst Park Stadium, which is Crystal Palace's home ground against Spurs, where Antonio Conte's squad managed to silence Crystal Palace with a score of 0-4.
I only saw the first half of this game before I became sleepy and had to go to bed, It was shocking to me this morning to wake up today to see that the game ended 4-0 in favor of Tottenham that looked almost dominated in the first Half. I never expected the goals to be so much, and never expected that Crystal Palace will not even be able to get a goal. Important points for Tottenham to keep their hopes of finishing top four alive, and also important points before Tottenham will play Arsenal next, a game which I am expecting to go in favor of Arsenal just like the first round did.
1614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 04, 2023, 07:03:14 PM
This is getting more alarming for Conte's Tottenham so I hope to see improved performances against C. Palace tonight. Maybe they are having problems in defense especially but they can still win by starting to be better at finishing.
After Arsenal played Tottenham in the first leg this season where they were totally outplayed by Arsenal, I noticed that Tottenham is a team that their only tactics is counter attack, and if you can manage to stop that they have nothing else to play but rely on luck. I maintain that stance, it is clearly evident now  with their very recent poor results that they have been having. They have struggle this season a lot, and against crystal palace Tottenham will loose even though it is important that they get a win.

... if you are just getting started,
If you are just getting started with crypto this new year, know you should have started late but it is good you started still.

-Take your security seriously, It will hurt you a lot if your investments gets stolen.

-Learn to do your own research and follow less of what you hear people say.

-Don't let the bear market discourage you from continuing, it will pass.

-DCA-ing (dollar cost averaging) will do you a lot of good.

-Bitcoins remain the best to invest in.

Just wondering what state others have experienced over the year, not looking for numbers
or any scientific data, just interested in your progress.
I played more during the world cup than any other time. I lost more time than I won but didn't loose any substantial amount of money that affected me.

But in general I enjoyed the experience, thrill and shock that some results gave me.

So I say gambling for me in 2022 was exciting because the outcome of some games I bet on and was sure about turned out to not be so predictable at the end. Cheesy
1617  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin banking is more preferable than normal bank. on: January 04, 2023, 06:22:31 PM
They both have advantages and disadvantages over each other if you think of it.

Bitcoin banking is more secure than normal banking, because you are the only one that has access to your personal wallet but in normal banking customer cares can login into your bank account without you're notice and use your money for any kind of businesses.
Personal security matters a lot with bitcoins, If your bitcoins gets lost, they are lost for real and the chances of recovery are very close to zero. But with normal banking your funds can be recovered and the culprits even apprehended.

bitcoin banking is more reliable than normal banking because money that is in your normal banking can be deducted or withdrawal without you're notice but that can not happen in Bitcoin banking everything happens with your authorization.
Banks have picked up this habit of some unnecessary charges that they deduct without notifying you simply because you signed to some terms and conditions. With Bitcoins, there are no unnecessary charges.

In summary, the reason bitcoin is what most of us have started tending towards to keep our funds is because we have seen that in all the advantages and disadvantages that they have with normal banking, it is better and more reliable for the future.

Bitcointalk friends and famz,  what are your best bitcoin wishes in the coming years?
I wish for bitcoin in the coming years is that more people accept it for what it truly is.

I am gladdened already by some members of this forum who are all working in their own way to ensure that more persons know what bitcoins really is and accept it for use. With the effort of these persons and as more people join in in indulging in this awareness in their own way, I believe my wish for bitcoin will come to realization sooner than later. Let us keep up the good work!
1619  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: At What Age You Got into Bitcoin and also Trading? on: January 04, 2023, 05:40:56 PM
According to me mostly people that came in crypto are mostly young aged people that range from 15 to 30 years. And I have seen less old people that first gotten in crypto. Because they think that crypto is not good for them.
You have made your assumptions based on what you know and the very few insignificant number of persons you know who are in bitcoins compared to the total number of bitcoin hodlers worldwide.

Age is something of the body, it does not determine how accepting someone will be when introduced to bitcoins for the first time, what determines it is how accepting the persons mind is to new ideas and innovations, and this is not restricted to only people who are young in body and age. Some people who are old in body and age, but young and accepting at heart and mind have accepted bitcoins and are hodling, at the same time, you will find people who are young in body and age but not accepting at heart and mind still holding opinions that bitcoin is a scam.

Arsenal are currently been held at a goalless draw by a you g and motivated Newcastle side, the match looked as tho arsenal will go home with all three points on paper only few would have wondered if this Newcastle side will get something out of this match , Arsenal currently leading the premier League table and a Newcastle side sitting at the third position same point with Manchester United but with a superior goal difference,  Newcastle have done Manchester city in second position some favour it's now left for Manchester city to win the blues (Chelsea) and close the gap between them and Arsenal.
Newcastle were very good defensively, Arsenal deserved the win but Newcastle were irritating with their time wasting strategy and seemed to have settled for the draw game. The five minutes added in extra time was not sufficient for the time they wasted. Arsenal now eight points at the top, dropping points even with our home advantage. But generally it is better one point than no point at all. Newcastle will celebrate that they have been able to avoid loosing in the game even with the pressure Arsenal put on them in the second Half. Everyone who bet this game as "both teams to score" have lost their bets. Arsenals next EPL game is against Tottenham, I hope we win that because the couple of games after that are really strong games. We need all the points we can get before we play MU and Manchester City.
