Leverkusen are on fire right now. They are the indispensable in the Bundesliga league and can be regarded as the giants of the season with a recorded winning streak of 50 matches unbeaten and 33 of these matches are of this season and all were won by the club with zero lost since they started. They have only drew in 6 matches. How amazing they sound right now.
Congratulations to them on achieving such great milestone of going 50 games unbeaten. They are surely the giants of the league this season as they are yet to be beaten, for a team like this this is a record that can never be  forgotten and will go down in history of the league. I admire their confidence and determination of not giving up no matter the circumstances even when they are losing towards the end of the game they always find their way back.

Despite having won the trophy they are not backing down yet and are still trashing opponents, i was surprised when i saw the score line go up to 5 goals against Bochum i thought they won’t be serious about the match since they have already won the league.

While people still talking about Mbappe and his leaving PSG, and this team could find alternative players for Mbappe to fill his place in the am which cannot be easy for PSG, it seems another player is about to leave PSG.
Keylor Navas the experienced goalkeeper of PSG, lost his place in the team since Donnarumma joined PSG in 2021. Now it seems he wants to leave the team and join another team at the end of this season, he also said goodbye to the fans of PSG. I guess Keylor Navas is going to join the MLS or Saudi League to end his career year because of his age.
What else can we expect from a player who barely has playing time? I don’t think it’s a abad idea to seek a move out of PSG because an experienced goalkeeper like him deserves to have a team of his own and not been seen as a 2nd choice. It could be difficult for a strong team to want his services but instead of him to end up in smaller clubs it would be better for him to seek a move to Saudi Arabia League or MLS or even China League where he would be valued.

Mbappe’s move will surely shake the team despite the coach assurance that the departure won’t be felt I strongly disagree because if you check their is no player in the team at the moment that is capable of doing what Mbappe has done, winning the golden boot for six consecutive seasons is not an easy feat and no one in the team can replicate that.

In everything there is always a beginner, in political way there are beginner even in the crypto world 🌍 we still have a beginner, so as a beginners in crypto you should know how it works first before you get into it, there was a guy complaining that he lost in trading crypto, and he is telling some of he's friend not to go into crypto just because he lost and he didn't follow the signal, I just want to say that you need to understand how it works first before you start, thank you.
This is a good story that will definitely be of help to some people but I wouldn’t blame you, as a newbie there is no better way you could’ve passed this and it’s probably because you yourself didn’t go through with your teachings. If you have taken proper time to study and learned how to compose and make posts we could’ve perceived the post in a better way and also the negative feedback on your profile didn’t say nice things about you and that you broke the forum rules probably because you prioritize learning before posting.

It is just as you said Op, no matter what you are doing or where you are it is better to first learn about it before getting into it fully. Cryptocurrency trading is a very difficult thing to engage in and without learning about it the possibilities if losing your money is very high and even when you have enough knowledge about it making profits is not guaranteed so one needs to be careful while trading cryptocurrency.

Losing is not always as a result of not following signals because signals can be wrong too and I wouldn’t advise a trader to rely solely on signals given by other traders instead they should learn and trade on their own believing their own signals and strategies.

I have come to realise that what is stopping some people from hodling Bitcoin is not because they do not have patience to stick to their investment. Having a source of income is the only way people can exercise patience to invest bitcoin.  It is not possible for one who is hungry and has bitcoin in the wallet and would not want to sell the bitcoin to quench the hunger.
There are only few people who are capable of going hungry and still hold on to their bitcoins, i also don’t support the idea of investing and not having a stable source of income because it will only make your investment more difficult. Going hungry and having your wallet loaded with assets just because say you wan invest na act of stupidity for my side, person no suppose suffer because say you invest na why many people de advise make person get good paying job before thinking of investing so you go fit easily carry eye comot for the investment but if you no get work na so so eye you go de put for your investment and with every little dip or little problem you go wan touch your investment.

I have a bad feeling regarding Arsenal winning Man Utd today because the match is not going through way people expected it to go. Arsenal seems to have been overpowered by Man Utd against people's prediction that Arsenal will easily win the match. Man Utd have hand more attempts on goal and more possession, even though it is too early to say. Arsenal have to improve in their play else this match will spoil their chances of winning the league should Man City gets a loss or draw which is not likely to happen but is possible.
Arsenal look better on the ball and off the ball but not that they are in total control, the game is still much open and if Arsenal is not careful Manchester United can surprise them because Garnacho seems to seem more balls on the flank and we know how dangerous he can be sometimes. I just feel today is not his day else he would have caused damage and created something out of nothing. The match is still very open and Manchester United can still find their way in the game, i hope they can end the match with a draw to give Manchester City more advantage to win the title.

Bundesliga games are coming to an end soon and from what I saw Borussia Dortmund already secured a place for UEFA Champions League which explains partially why they didn't took today's game against Mainz seriously. At the opposite, I find Mainz pushing to stay out of the Champions League
Mainz was clearly better and it could be as you said, maybe Dortmund felt reluctant because they have already secured a spot in the Champions League next season and they probably feel they should reserve some energy for the champions league final. Mainz took the advantage early in the first half and was able to score 3 goals as soon as Dortmund could realize and forced a mistake out of them. Mainz have now risen above the relegation zone and they are almost certainly not going to relegate this season.

The three quick goals pulled the plug pretty quickly though. There was no coming back for Dortmund and Mainz knew that if they concentrate on their defense, they got the 3 points they need. This game was worth a bet in my eyes, but I didn't place one. Wink
Mainz were determined to win after realizing how lose Dortmund was in the game, they gave no room for exploit for Dortmund attackers and the got the result they wanted. I like how Mainz took advantage in the early minutes of the game that got them 3 goals and they stood their ground not to throw the lead away till the end of the match now they have moved passed the relegation zone.

Napoli's situation is not good this season, they changed coach several times, yet the team's performance did not improve and now that series A is ending when looking at Napoli's position in the table
They have not been the same ever since Luciano Spalletti left the club, they have changed coaches in just a period of one season and still there is no changes and the worst part is from winning the title last season to struggling to qualify for any European competition this season. The season is almost over and we will definitely see some stars leave this summer as they will be disappointed in their performance this season, Victor Osimehn is the top target player teams have had their eyes on and he is likely to leave this summer. I hope with the new coach appointed they will be different next season.

To be honest that shows how strong of a team they are, because even at the face of complacency they still end up with something much better, which is why I believe that we are going to end up with Inter that end up with more victories until the end of the season and we should not really consider them losing when betting.
Inter Milan are just class this season and they are so good that even their reserve team can pull up a decent performance as well. A lot of players were rested and that didn’t show any sign of weakness in them, i believe this is how they will want to end the season. It was a good season for them but i hope they don’t end up like Napoli when next season commences i hope they keep the form running till next season.

Arsenal is now the topic of discussion everywhere until the end of the season; Arsenal needs to win their last two matches and wait for any result Manchester City will bring against Tottenham and against West Ham successfully. These two teams Manchester City will play with are all London teams, they are Arsenal rivals, I think they can help Arsenal maintain at least draw in one of the matches so as to give Arsenal a chance to win the Premier League. City should have given Arsenal chance to win this league because Arsenal have tried a lot to achieve this title, but a lose to Aston Villa is the reason we are all saying this because if Arsenal could have won that match it will be a different story by now.
As an Arsenal fan, I still believe we can have something this season Grin
Well let’s just keep hoping Tottenham and West Ham will be able to help but until then let Arsenal win their remaining matches successfully because that’s the most important thing for now. Arsenal should be able to cruise past Manchester United since they are performing poorly currently but sometimes Manchester United are very good at playing big teams as well so Arsenal need to be extremely careful and be at their best if they don’t want to risk their chances of winning the league.

What do you mean by City should’ve given Arsenal the chance to win the league because they have tried their best? LOL, don’t be funny, if Arsenal have not been able to win the league and have been losing to Manchester City then it means they are not good enough and their best is not yet enough so they need to perform even better than they have.

Fulham will be hosting Manchester City with so many Arsenal fans biting their nails and hoping for Fulham to cause much harm to the Citizens. I think something positive might happen today and let's not forget that this is another early kick off that might end in a draw with a very tight scoreline on the Fulham pitch that's very tight which means Manchester City won't be playing a very high game and is a disadvantage for City and Haaland, talking about lack of space, so is an advantage for Fulham that's if they'd take the chance of making the Gunners happy and getting something in this game. I'll go for either a draw or a narrow win for Fulham because City will be desperate to get a win with much pressure on them.
I think Arsenal fans will have to wait for another day to see Manchester City drop points because they are already a goal up and if only took them 13 minutes to take the lead at Fulham’s home. I know there is a lot of time to turn things around but i don’t think Manchester City will want to go easy on them, dropping points will give Arsenal a boost and with just few games to play any team that drops point now will find it difficult to win the league.

We still have a lot of time so it will be too early to predict a winner here, but with this lead i believe Manchester City will want to capitalize on it and score more goals to keep their title hopes alive.

I will oppose you on Manchester City losing or dropping points and i won’t agree with you about City being desperate to win, we all know how patient Guardiola team is and how well they play when they are already sighting the title, i don’t think they will drop points any time soon.
190  Economy / Economics / Re: Banning of p2p on crypto apps in Nigeria on: May 09, 2024, 02:44:37 PM
Governments don't care about what citizens think about their decisions, they don't care whether it's the right thing to do or not, they make decisions that will benefit them or won't affect them having more power and control over their citizens, and to be precise, this is mostly happening in third-world or developing countries where governments aren't able to accept cryptocurrencies and they are always looking for excuses to keep them away from their countries.

This money laundering and criminal activities and stuff are nothing more than excuses they make to make people think that they are protecting them but the reality is different and those who are involved in cryptocurrencies and use them understand that they are trying to suppress them doing this.
Exactly the point, all Government care about is themselves and are not bothered about what the citizens think or want they just want to have total control over everything and are bringing up excuses of money laundering just so they can have a reasonable excuse to shut down p2p and Crypto trading in the country. They also went as far as instructing banks to block every account that carryout any form of crypto transaction this just proves how negatively they think of cryptocurrency and are doing everything possible just to shut it down totally but i don’t think they will succeed, all they can do is try to suppress it but they can’t stop crypto transactions totally and i feel all this is just for thee time being. What is happening to the country is far more beyond cryptocurrency being the cause of the currency being unstable but the government is not ready to tackle more serious problems.

i'm just not sure if the information i saw was true because their government still allows p2p from Bitget and some other local crypto exchanges.
The information you saw are true, p2p have been banned and few exchanges as you mentioned Binance and OKX have stopped Naira trading on p2p and according to news the government will attempt to stop Naira trading on every centralized exchanges gradually so for now there are still some exchanges that allows p2p trading of Naira.

The reasons government is giving are all excuses because despite Binance and OKX delisting Naira from their p2p trading platform the Naira/Dollar rate doesn’t seem to be dropping instead it’s still rising. This shows p2p trades is not the reason behind the drop of value of Naira.

Trust is not something one can easily place on a person just by looks or how well you communicate or talk, it is something a person earns after undergoing certain tests and after observing for a long time. Even close friends or relatives can’t be trusted easily so trusting a neighbor of yours easily is not ideal but i don’t blame you though.

There are lots of criminals around now and it is difficult to tell when you see them that why it is important not to share personal information with just anyone. You are even lucky you didn’t disclose any useful information to him that he could have used against you. These kind of people have always given Bitcoin and cryptocurrency a bad name and they are the reason why many are still scared to adopt it and this is the reason why governments are reluctant to accept bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. They believe they criminals will hide behind use of cryptocurrency and with this government now have another reason to fight against the use of cryptocurrency, these set of people really tarnish the image of cryptocurrency because they are giving it a bad name.

Criminal have always been around even before the existence of bitcoin and will still be around even if bitcoin doesn’t exist so even if cryptocurrency is banned criminals will still find other means to stay around so government only using this as an excuse to do away with cryptocurrency.

Tottenham's performance has not been that good recently; they are no longer performing the same way as they were at the beginning of the season, and Chelsea have shown some consistency recently. I think Chelsea are fighting to end the season at the top 5 in the table, and with all indications, I think they can continue performing this way.
Not just consistency but you can as well see the team play have improved quite significantly and the style of play is quite different now, more players have shown improvement and if they should keep up the performance they will be able to challenge Tottenham if they continue being sloppy and lose more matches.

Chelsea is not a team to depend on this season especially when it comes to consistency of the game. They can just be in great form now and in their next match they’ll just disgrace you and lose woefully to their opponent. Chelsea performance is quite impressive and one that shows a great prospects in the premier league.
They have shown how inconsistent they can be throughout the season and i am surprised if people don’t actually put their trust in them anymore because they have disappointed us a lot if times especially when they face opponents that are easy. I know they are inconsistent but the performance they are showing this days and the way they play is quite different from other performance in the past, you can see the togetherness in them and the play is flowing quite well, with this performance they can actually win their remaining matches to challenge Tottenham for their spot.

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.
It seems Madrid will go through to the final and we don’t have to wait till penalties decide the winner, ig has been aa very dramatic night but this is Real Madrid the king of the Champions League. A lot of people were surprised how Real Madrid was able to turnaround the game but i was not surprised, this is the kind of thing they do and we have witnessed it in the past how they magically turn games around in the champions league. I think Bayern Munich were too sloppy and allowed some errors like the error Nuer did that led to the equalizer it gave Madrid more confidence and boosted their confidence and they got the winning goal to make it to the final. Also Tuchel was casual with his substitution and it affected them as well.

In games like this you need to leave some few attackers in the field in case of counter attacks and not just sub them all out because you are a goal up. It was too early to make that kind of substitution in my opinion.
194  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why do they always attack the newbies? on: May 08, 2024, 07:19:37 PM
We all started from the scratch and we're all here to learn, but their are some people that sees newbies as a disturbance to forum. I started like a newbie infact we all started like a newbie and gradually we all grow to the rank we're now. So I'll advise to those people seeing the newbies as if they're here to harm others please we're here to learn more about cryptocurrency, we all have a target on here.
Only Newbies who refuse to learn first before joining discussions end up being criticized because they are getting a lot of things wrong that is why they get criticized. If you are being criticized then it is because you are doing certain things wrongly then you need to check yourself properly and figure out things you are doing wrong and take corrections instead of taking it to heart. They mean well for the forum that’s why they criticize every newbie getting it wrong, they want the best for you that’s why they are correcting you.

If you don’t want to be criticized then you should have listened to the advice which all newbies are expected to focus on learning first before you start posting that way you must gathered enough knowledge.

You are not the first to be criticized and won’t be the last and here in the forum there is no excuse of being ignorant because every information needed is provided on the forum already.

A lot of gambling sites have emerged during and after the Covid-19 era and a lot of people have since then joined the gambling community.
We now have a wider audience who likes to gamble on desktop, laptop, mobile phone etc...
This poll is to see the most preferred device for gambling which I assume should be desktop as it provides a bigger screen and better user experience than any other device.
But a lot of people prefer mobile phones too and so lets just hit it and see what the actual results are.
What really happened was people got to understand that gambling online gives them the be best experience and it was way easier than visiting gambling casinos and bet shops where you will to go through a lot of stress of leaving home anytime you want to gamble and also bet shops in my area here cannot afford to pay you immediately when you win a huge amount and will ask you to wait a few days until they contact their head branch first, all these things are part of the reason why i prefer gambling online. Online gambling makes gambling easier and withdrawals are more easier and faster.

To access gambling sites i prefer making use of mobile phones because i understand it more easily and i prefer it because it’s easier to carry around making it easy for me to gamble whenever i want and wherever i want.

I don't think Leverkusen has much pressure for this because if the second leg results in a draw, Leverkusen will also qualify for the final. Likewise with Atalanta which also has the potential to qualify for the final because in the Europa League this season Atalanta has also been able to bring Liverpool back to their place of origin, making Liverpool unable to stay in the Europa League for longer this season. And for the second leg with Marseille, of course Atalanta will try better to enter the final.
No pressure at all and it feels as if the mission has been accomplished already even though there is a whole 90 minutes to play. Football can be very dramatic at times and we have seen on many occasions where a team losing with 2-3 goals down and still comeback and win the game but in the tie i don’t see this happening to Leverkusen especially not this season that they are in the best form of their life.

Bayern Leverkusen have the home advantage and also have a 2 goals lead which will make everything difficult for Roma. I already see Leverkusen in the final but not so sure about Atlanta though they have higher chances of winning.

Hehe it's a good thing for me that I forgot about their second leg match and forgot to bet. I was sure that PSG was going to reach the Finals and would have lost for betting on them. Congrats to whoever picked Dortmund but what was the odds before the match started?
I think PSG had a lesser odd and even bookmakers were so sure PSG would win especially when they are at the advantage of playing at home but they failed us all who believed in them. The odds varied from platform to platform but there was no much difference. I am so disappointed in them not because i bet on them but because i want Kylian Mbappe to win the champions league or even reach the finals but Dortmund was the team that stopped them from reaching the final.

I argued with someone a while ago or was it yesterday about PSG winning and qualifying to the finals and he was so sure that Dortmund would come out victorious and was so confident that bookmakers were mistaking when they favored PSG in splitting the odds but I disagreed. I hope he was able to bet on Dortmund winning and not get discouraged by my comments and predictions.

Congratulations to Borrussia Dortmund on their victory and qualification.
The odds from the casino i used was: 1. 1.50, X. 4.90, 2. 5.50

The time you spend on the forum also contributes alot in ones growth because the more time you spend in here the more things you learn and to grow in the forum you need to understand quite a lot about bitcoin and the forum and the things they promote here, only then can you be able to engage in discussions and make quality contributions.

There is no stated time a newbie should spend in the forum and stated amount of post expected from him but spending more time in the forum is the fastest way to learn and grow here. To be considered active on the forum means visiting the forum constantly and making posts almost everyday.

A newbie should firstly focus on learning rather than growing, after learning growth will occur definitely.
199  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What ways can a trader raise money? on: May 07, 2024, 06:55:37 PM
There are two types of people who learn trading, there are those who already have a source of income and are looking for way to multiple it so they choose trading as an option for them, while their others without any source of income but just learning to trade for the sake of knowledge and hoping that one day they will be able to make enough capital to invest into trading.
What is the use of learning to trade for the sake of knowledge when you know you don’t have the funds to start trading because trading requires funds and without funds there is nothing to trade. Seeking knowledge when you don’t have the capital to start trading can be a waste of time because certain things requires immediate practice and without money it won’t be possible, although it is not all bad to start learning ahead if you are certain in a few weeks or months your capital will be ready.

How would you advise a newbie trader without any source of income to gather together money that they can use in trading?
It won’t be easy but when you’re determined to trade and you have already started learning or learned how to trade then you must have thought of a way to make money for trading, if you haven’t then i think you havve to look for physical means of earning money otherwise i don’t see any other way you can since trading requires start up capital before one can start earning from it

Exclude this options that they have to get a job and save up money because if it was so easy to get a good paying job, some of them may not even be trading.
What will you advise, would you advise them that at a level when they are sure of their knowledge should try to convince other people they know to give them some money as investment or convince strangers to invest in them?
Getting a job doesn’t have to be a good paying one, it can be a job that pays little but with fhe determination to trade he should be able to save up for a while. If not I don’t see how he wants to make money other than this way.

Trading is very risky no matter how well you think you understand it profit is never guaranteed so convincing people to give you money to invest in trading is not ideal. To invest you should only invest money you can afford to lose because trading is not guaranteed and one can easily run at loss.

It's better for Lukaku to join Saudi Pro League, if he continue to play in European team, he need to expect he will join mediocre team or second tier league. Any top tier teams will not want Lukaku since he can play for full time, become super-substitution and vulnerable against injuries.

FYI, Lukaku was the reason why Milan lose against Manchester City.
I also think Saudi league will be the perfect destination for him currently, we saw how difficult it was for him before he got a loan contract from another team in Europe when Chelsea decided not to use him for the season. It will be no different this season because Chelsea will not make him their first choice and i think he is too experienced to be going on loans up and down like a youngster, if he wants the best i think should just consider joining the Saudi Arabia league it is quite competitive and there are numerous European players in the league.

At the moment no top European team will want Lukaku especially after missing a couple of chances in the Champions League final last season and I wouldn’t advise he joins a low standard team. Joining Saudi will benefit him more financially and easily he would be the first choice striker.
