181  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 15, 2024, 08:58:49 AM
After Leverkusen had some difficulties in the last few weeks they showed what they can do best again in their decisive game. Great performance. At matchday number 1 they have already showed with the 3:2 victory against Leipzig that they will play a different season than in 2022/2023.
Leverkusen absolutely deserve to be German champions and they have a big chance of winning two more titles.
Xabi and Leverkusen recorded gold this season by successfully becoming Bundesliga champions after ensuring their victory against Bremen. They deserve to celebrate their success this season. Xabi Alonso, who was widely doubted at the start of his leadership this season, has proven that he is a coach who can give Leverkusen a title, and not just one title because they have the opportunity to get other titles, such as the Europa League for example.

I'm sure there will be many Leverkusen players who will be looked at by other big clubs, because it cannot be denied that their success this season is because the players were able to implement what Xabi Alonso instructed. Whether Xabi will let go of players who have contributed a lot or not, in my opinion it is very likely that he will keep his players, because their teamwork and chemistry have been created. Actually, Xabi's task has not just ended, because next season he has to prove it again with his good play.

A big congratulations to this Bayern Leverkusen side from me, because it's really not been easy at all to break the dominance of Bayern Munich  in this German bundesliga, and thanks to xabi Alonso for also putting in a lot of work to ensure that they remain unbeaten, just to keep their morals high till everything is secured, which to me is very much commendable.

And as for most of their star players, I know that most of the top clubs in Europe will definitely come for them, but in other for Bayern Leverkusen to still be very good and be at their very best next season, they have to do everything in their power to keep their most important players of the team, like the core of that team need not to be touched, so that the high level of consistency and performance can be maintained, to be able to compete with the very best again next season.

I think only Liverpool lost but Arsenal also followed suit and both teams in the title race had to lose full points this week. This is a rare occurrence considering the performance of both has been very stable so far and once again is it possible that we will see the same champion this season? I mean it's clear that Manchester City is currently two points ahead of its competitors and they seem to have had unexpected luck with the defeat of their two competitors.

Liverpool have lost twice at home and they seem to have run out of ways to win and Arsenal, even though this is their first defeat in the last 8 matches in all competitions, will still be quite worrying if they are in chaos again at the end of the season. Manchester City really can't be stopped if they are at the top and they just need to win every match they have and don't let them be careless with this advantage.

So is Manchester City going to be champions again this season? This seems most likely at the moment. In the previous season we saw the Arsenal team perform brilliantly throughout the season. But the team could not win the title due to poor performance in the last three matches. This season as well, Arsenal and Liverpool have played brilliantly throughout the season. But these two teams lost the top spot in the table as they lost points in the last match.

Manchester City team is now 2 points ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool. If City can continue their winning streak, Manchester City will undoubtedly be the champion this season. In the next 6 matches, Manchester City may have some trouble to win against West Ham, Tottenham and Brighton. In addition, Manchester City will win easily in the remaining three matches.

To me this premier league title race is over, because if you look at the historical performance of Manchester city over the years during the closing stage of the season, you will know that the biggest mistake made by both arsenal and Liverpool is allowing Manchester city to lead the chart at this particular stage of the season, because they actually have the ability to secure 18 points from a possible 18 in the last 6 matches of the season.

Just take a look at their own remaining fixture and the fixtures of both arsenal and Liverpool, you will know that it's even more likely for arsenal and Liverpool to drop more points than this Manchester city side, unless their is a sudden collapse or something really bad happens to their form, if not, Manchester city will definitely be crown champions, between now and the end of the season.
183  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / The high importance of knowing the right thing and doing the right thing on: April 15, 2024, 03:12:25 AM
My country people, ona good morning inside this morning, today I want us to talk about doing the right thing in this crypto space we found ourselves, see eh, to know the right thing to do and to do am na two different things altogether entirely, Why I dy say so is that, most of us know the right thing to do in this crypto space, but we no dy do am, when things don go south due to the fact that na the wrong thing we later do, we go start to feel regret for our self, something wey dy really avoidable from the start.

Almost everyone in this forum know how alt and shit coin dy behave, we know say e dy fall more than e dy rise, we go come make a very stupid decision, by investing almost all our capital inside, something wey we for invest only like 5% of ur capital, after you don already invest like 95% for Bitcoin, but due to greedy, we go forget to do the right thing, we go come go investing almost all our hard earned money for shit coin or alt wey just be like gambling, abeg if we really want to progress for this crypto space, e dy very important to dy do the right thing on a steady basis, so as to dy progress, remember say, as long as you are moving forward, na still progress, regardless of your pace, no allow greed of 10x to 100x take lose all your capital, think and act wisely.

In as much as you are right in few of your expression, I dis agree with you mate, with your Short sighted way of spreading negative messages about Bitcoin by sounding so crazy in your narrative of what you think Bitcoin is, Bitcoin is one of the best if not the best when it comes to the world digital assets class and has proven beyond every reasonable dout about it's potentials from history since it's inception or invention , Bitcoin is not as risky as some people claims or proclaim but he I don't give a fuck about what you think Bitcoin is, because Bitcoin has made a significant outstanding performance, which gives you total control over your money, enabling borderless transactions, offering protection against inflation, preserving privacy, and as well creating an investment opportunity, Bitcoin is a save haven,  Bitcoin  is a store of value and wealth . You don't have to be dump and refused /failing to see the beauty of the potentials Bitcoin holds.
And it'll be sad if you didn't get that part, mate.  Also I implied the volatility of cryptocurrency in general when I said Bitcoin can fall, and all of that. Not necessarily that it's a bad investment choice. And making the said implication, is all with regards to  short term investors.
When you mention cryptocurrency in general, are you referring to bitcoin together with the other shitcoins? Why not simply use bitcoin and your points will be well understood and appreciated rather than deviating with your words which often make people think that the other shitcoins have the same validity as bitcoin? Efforts have been made by @JayJuanGee to encourage people to retain the word bitcoin in their discussion so that people do not confuse bitcoin with shitcoins that often bring bad reputation and prone to scams. So if you will be so kind, continue using bitcoin in comments and that will be just fine. It has all the attributes you are trying to explain.
Obviously, Bitcoin is among cryptocurrencies but the reason why we make Bitcoin of more in this discussion is because it is our most priority and the asset we have in our individual portfolio and all other cryptos come under Bitcoin that is why Bitcoin is taken to be a volatile asset. Our main objective here is focused on buying and hodling no matter the price of Bitcoin that is why the DCA is advisable then if there comes a dip, an investor with high source of income or that have reserved funds can choose to lump sum and still continue the DCA
Bitcoin being a high volatile asset needs time before your investment can boom to a certain height that is why anyone venturing into bitcoin need endurance and patience because it is not just about buying and selling but buying and hodling for the future because a greater fruit awaits your investment there.

Shitcoins probably doesn't have any future that is why we don't include shitcoins in this thread, we are more concerned about a guaranteed asset like Bitcoin and if we look at the growth and adoption of Bitcoin since it was introduced, we can have that feeling of safety and security of our Bitcoins as proud hodlers.

I agree with you a lot Princess but I don’t agree with you about shitcoins not having a future, the way you sound right now makes me believe you think all other coins aside Bitcoin are shitcoins.

Bitcoin is the father the originator the one among the rest but this doesn’t mean Bitcoin is the only one, with more incoming innovations in the crypto space we’ve witnessed the rise of other crypto currency’s some which have come to stay like Bitcoin and others which have fallen off,
These experiences only helped us learn how to identify substantial projects that’ll last the test of time line Bitcoin, I’ll say not all coins aside Bitcoin are shitcoins.


Bro, in as much as you are new here, I believe that you have experience how the market have been declining for the past week now, and if you pay close attention to the alt and shit coin, they have crashed drastically wish most of them will never recover their previous value before now again, what am trying to say is that their is no point gambling with and alt or shit that falls more than they rise, when Bitcoin that gives you security for your investment is present.

The major problem most newbies are having is greed, they believe that those alt and shit coin can give them 10x to 100x of their investment, which they actually don't know that they are gambling with their hard earned money for something that is very much likely to fail than to succeed, until they stop listening to social media influencer when it comes to investment, they will keep on going the wrong path by investing in all this alt and shit coin.
185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 14, 2024, 01:26:46 PM
that could happen, there is a possibility that they will appear different to what they showed in the Champions League, with their current downturn I think they can evaluate their mistakes, and look for solutions to be able to fix them and return with a performance that is known as a good and strong team. Nobody knows either, maybe in the Bundesliga they don't play well, but later in the Champions League maybe they will give a surprise.

Indeed, with their match against Arsenal in the next match, namely in the second leg, they have a chance to beat Arsenal, because in my opinion, by playing at home, it can make them more confident in playing. It's true what you said, if their match yesterday ended in defeat maybe they would have less confidence in being able to win even at home, but as you said, with their match yesterday in the first leg ending in a draw, I think Munich really has confidence. more self in the second match later.

On a normal day, Arsenal don't stand a chance to face Bayern Munich, whenever they mention them, gunner's would be trembling with fear.
Today, because of a slight decline, they want to open them mouths wide open and day crap about Bayern Munich? Or because they're having a good season with Mikel Arteta ad head coach, they want to slander Bayern Munich? They should buckle up and get themselves ready for the battle and war ahead come next week would be damn bloody.

Arsenal might be having a great season no doubts, but I have never supported them to win the Champions League Competition, not even against Bayern Munich.
Maybe stopping Manchester City gave some balls in the Premier League Competition, but can gnru do same in the Champions League!

You are actually right bro, arsenal and their fan are just dreaming because  the champions league are meant for men not boys, and this arsenal team am seeing so is just too inexperienced to really go all the way, when the the bigger boys are still in the competition.

Ok let's look at their performance against Bayern Munich at the Emirates stadium, upon all the form arsenal are this season in the premier league, they still cannot beat a Bayern team that have been struggling all seasons at the Emirates stadium, that shows lack of experience is really having an impact on this arsenal team, especially in the champions league.

And as for the return fixture, though the game is still very open, but it's more likely for Bayern Munich to edge this one and progress to the next stage of the competition, than arsenal progressing.

The price of Bitcoin is down a bit now, many newbies may have panic sold their holdings right now, they are definitely making a mistake right now. They must understand that every dip is a golden opportunity for them to buy again. Those who can use this opportunity will achieve something good. Don't panic, buy more and more in the Dip, Then you can achieve a good. buy bitcoin right now we can earn more bitcoins.

You are actually right on the part that most newbies will have likely sold their holdings out of fear, that Bitcoin cannot recover it previous value, but on the aspect of buying, I really do think that every time is an opportunity to buy Bitcoin, as long as you are using the DCA accumulating strategy, because you will at some point buy the lowest part of the dip in your accumulating journey, which will be a major plus to you, though most people sees this deep as an opportunity to buy aggressively, which is quite logical, but to me, it's very good opportunity to buy aggressively during the dip also, as long as it doesn't affect my ability to finance my day to day activities without stress, and it doesn't weakens my holding ability on the longer run.

This is the main problem of Manchester United this season, they can show a great game against Liverpool, but in matches with Bournemouth or Brentford their performance will be very unconvincing. Chelsea, by the way, can even overtake Manchester United on goal difference if they win two games, because they have played two matches less than Manchester United. But this is not so important, since this season can be considered a failure for Manchester United and Chelsea.
Manchester United and Chelsea are nothing different, when they face mediocre teams, they either lose or draw. When they meet strong teams, they able to give a fight and sometime they win.

[hr

This is actually true, and it is their greatest problem as of now, Manchester united and Chelsea and just playing as if they are watching at each other, if Manchester united or Chelsea put in a very strong or weak performance today, it's very likely that the next one playing will put in a similar performance, and to tell you the truth, I was watching yesterday match between Manchester united and fc Bournemouth, the performance of Manchester united is actually a joke, and I keep asking myself that what is really the problem of this Manchester united side? If it was Chelsea, I think it's more understandable, because of so many factors, and the stupid decision making of the new owners, but as for Manchester united, I still don't just know what is their problem, and by the look of things, they might not qualify for the uefa champions league as it stands.

I don't know what was wrong with Naglesmann and he got fired from the team. Naglesmann didn't get bad results and in games, we saw from Bayern Munich while they had Naglesmann in the team, he had a good performance there but they wanted to have a coach with a better Champions League experience to help the team and that's why they started working with Tuchel otherwise there was no reason to get Naglesmann fired from the team. However, some players in Bayern Munich didn't have a good relationship with Naglesmann and it was maybe another reason but now Tuchel has the same situation with many players. Even some players wanted to leave the team because of Tucle working there in Bayern Munich.
 
The reason is quite clear that Munich felt that Nagelsmannn couldn't provide a good performance for Munich when he coached the team, but in reality, Nagelsmann was better than Tuchel in coaching Munich and it has been proven that currently Tuchel is not able to provide consistent performance for Munich, even in the UCL, it is not certain that Tuchel can provide good performance, especially giving Munich the UCL title, while Munich's current condition is not so good.

It's just unfortunate that Bayern Munich have to sack nagelsman thinking that Thomas tuchel will be better, but they actually don't know that the footballing pattern of Thomas tuchel doesn't suit this Bayern Munich team, unlike the pattern of nagelsman that suit this Bayern Munich team perfectly, even the top brass at Bayern Munich knows that they have messed up by sacking nagelsman, even when he was dominating and leading the league and he won all the possible point available in the group stage of last year champions league.

And as for Thomas tuchel, I have said this before, and am still going to say it again, Thomas tuchel isn't a bad coach, just that his coaching pattern doesn't suit this Bayern Munich side, those short short passes he likes his team to play is not actually working in this Bayern Munich team, that's why a change is really needed.

I found this image on WhatsApp and wanted to share it here as a message for everyone in our forum. In the crypto world, prices can change a lot especially during Bear season. Even though you might have the same amount of coins their value in the market may reduce drastically. This can be scary especially for newcomers who might not understand how it all works. In the image above ,someone introduced a newbie to crypto without explaining the risks or advising them to do research first. Now the newbie is upset and asking for his money back.
Something we should learn from this is that before investing in anything, it's important to do your own research and understand how it and the market works. If you introduce someone to crypto, make sure they know about the risks of volatility.

Theres also a risk of being blamed or even arrested if someone claims you lost their money through investing. This could lead to accusations of scams.
Incidents like this can give reputable coins like Bitcoin a bad reputation, as people might spread misinformation about them being scams. Let's be careful about how we introduce others to crypto investing.

In as much as this Whatsapp conversation look really funny to me, but it's actually a complete no to me, to tell someone to invest when I know that the person have zero knowledge about cryptocurrency and how it works, because only this conversation am seeing so is enough reason for his or her to start calling you a scammer.

In some places around the world, their are some people that knows little or nothing about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, and most people around the world still sees crypto as a Ponzi scheme, due to the fact that they are uninformed, those kind of places, it's very advisable to talk about Bitcoin cautiously, so that most uninformed people would not start seeing you as a scammer.

Lastly, if we are introducing someone into the crypto industry, it's best we tell them all it entails about it, and mostly the risks attached to it, not just the benefits, because by the look of things, it's only the benefits the other guy told the newbie about, that's why he is really panicking, because it's the exact opposite of what he thought.
191  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is investing in exchange tokens profitable? on: April 13, 2024, 10:24:09 AM
If we are to consider the top 3 exchange tokens, Binance BNB, OKX OKB and Bitget BGB lead the race with BNB 5th, OKB 38th and BGB 61st according to coinmarketcap ranking.

Going by history, BNB was launched in July 2017 around $0.11 but reached an ATH of $686.31 on May 10, 2021 just after three years. Currently trading above $550, BNB has established itself as one of the top asset class to hold for many people coming into the crypto space. Can only imagine what to expect in this coming bullrun.

On the other hand, OKB was officially launched on March 2018 around $0.6 and have since witnessed remarkable growth reaching an ATH of $73.83 on March 13 2024 but currently trading around $56.63. That's quite impressive considering the listing price.

Lastly, BGB the native token of Bitget was launched on July 26 2021 at the rate of $0.05850. it gain adoption quickly and has been performing since then. The token has reached more than 15 new ATH from 2023 till date reaching multiple ATH in the last 24hrs. The current ATH stands at $1.37 but currently trading at $1.319. With a current mcap of almost $2B, the price is relatively low compared to the first two making it easily affordable to buy and hodl for future gains.

Although there are other exchange tokens that are also performing well but this three looks the best investment option looking at their respective ecosystem growth hence I feel they are good investment option with growth potential but I will like to hear your opinions. Do you HODL any of this tokens and what are your price expectation ahead of the upcoming bullrun.

My brother, if you really want me to be sincere with you, wether it's and exchange token or not, and alt coin or shit coin will always behaves as one, they fall more than they rise, because that's how they are, just take a look at what happens to FTT token,  after FTX went into bankruptcy, bro, till today it has not even recover even half of it price, even as all other tokens are pumping due to how Bitcoin is pumping of recent, but Bitcoin have proven itself over and over again that it can always recover no matter the setback.

So what am I trying to say? If you have any good amount of money to invest, I suggest you invest like 95% in Bitcoin, then the remaining 5% you can gamble it on any other token, if it's an amount you can afford to lose that's my suggestion, but if it's me, I would definitely invest only on Bitcoin, because slow progress is a progress to me, I wouldn't allow greed of bigger profit make me lose my hard earned money.
192  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you believe in savings or investment on: April 13, 2024, 06:46:54 AM
For quite some time now we have been hearing about savings and most people who are working in some oil firm or some civil servants so much believe on saving and their pension. What if those savings are turned into investment what do you think could be their results by now extremely rich or wealth?
No wonder teacher or lecturers are not wealthy due to their this mentality of thinking we hardly finds out a very wealth teacher across or locality.

For long have been around here seems like people who belongs to this world think much of investment than savings while the real world focuses more on savings but if I could recall correctly, any money in savings doesn't yield and add to the account while investment is what gives us money or profits at every end of the day week or month irrespective of how little it could be it's better to have investment than savings.

What do you think?

Well, we are still making savings here in the crypto or bitcoin industry that we belong to, right? The only difference is that the investment we make here is combined with savings.
In what way?

Of course, once we hold any cryptocurrency here or bitcoin, there are chances that its value will increase while the waiting period passes, as long as we are sure that it has potential.
And because of the increase in value as it goes by, this becomes our savings in the future.

I totally agree to to what you are saying, because what most informed people are doing right now is to hold their savings in Bitcoin which create the opportunity of not just making profit out of it, but also as a means to fight inflation, since Bitcoin is an asset that appreciate in value overtime,  unlike the fiat that is being eaten up by inflation.

And as for the civil servants and most private workers, it's only few people that are aware of what's going on around them, some knows that inflation is eating their savings but don't actually knows how to go about it in curbing that menace going on in their finance, because they are uninformed, that is why I really do appreciate this forum because the knowledge I have gained in the past few months I have been in this forum have really been helpful in my decision making financially.
193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 13, 2024, 06:09:48 AM
Before facing Real Madrid in the Champions League, Manchester City will compete against Luton. In that match, I predict Manchester city will have great potential to win and I want to bet on Manchester City winning.

Manchester City has been facing tough opponents lately. They still have a Champions League match against Real Madrid on Wednesday of next week, which they can win, but it will be tough. As everyone knows, Luton Town is a formidable opponent, and Manchester City must perform well to defeat them. They really need to win the match because they need to keep up their competition with Arsenal and Liverpool for the Premier League title. Playing for the Premier League title this season will also impact Manchester City's performance in the Champions League. Despite having a stronger roster, Manchester City is a team that will stop at nothing to maintain its competitiveness in all leagues.

Real Madrid knows how to play champion league football, which is why I always trust them. The next match between Manchester City and Real Madrid will be extremely difficult because we all know what kind of team Real Madrid is: they can play both home and away games and are prepared to defeat any opponent they face. If we later witness Real Madrid defeating Manchester City at Etihad Stadium, we shouldn't be surprised because Real Madrid wants to play the second leg of the match with power.

The match between Real Madrid and Manchester City had some messages for us. Both teams were in the good form and both teams were ready to win the Champions League title. Gaduila is aiming to win the Premier League and the Champions League again just like the last season he won with Manchester City.
But they also need to get their team improved like what other teams usually do. Manchester City thinks Haaland is a stable and good player for this team, they are counting on Haaland even in the great games, but even in the game against Manchester City, Haaland proved that he is not the man to have a good performance in the harder games. We saw nothing special from Haaland in the game they had against Real Madrid while Mamcshter Ciyt was counting on this player.



The competition between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the Champions League is of course very tight and the match between these two teams really makes us curious because in La Liga Real Madrid is in 1st place and Manchester City in the EPL is currently in 3rd place in the standings but of course Manchester City is also a team. which is strong at the moment so of course there will be tight competition.

but yes, at least Manchester City definitely needs Haaland and the sensation is different if for example Haaland is not there like when Haaland was injured, but in my opinion, De Bruyne is also really needed by Manchester City and the presence of De Bruyne certainly makes the quality of Manchester City's game better and I think If De Bruyne is present when Manchester City faces Madrid, I think Manchester City has the potential to win.

Today we will see Luton's match against Manchester City, many of my friends here have placed bets for Manchester City to win, but of course I hope that Pep will be alert because we won't know Luton's strength in the match.


I think that we are at the stage of the season were almost all teams area hoping for everyone in their squad to be fit because almost all competition are being decided by the result of this few matches coming up, and to be frank, no team in the world will lose someone as good as kelvin de bruyne and wouldn't feel the impact of his absence, because he is a very high quality player.

And for the Luton vs Manchester city game, though Manchester city will definitely be the clear favourite to win this one here, but if they are wise, they would actually knows that their is no easy game in the premier league, so  any room for complacency will cost them dearly, especially in their quest for the premier league glory, so they have to take this kind of game very serious, for their title aspiration not to go down the drain due to complacency.

Lastly, the game against real madrid is really going to be a fascinating encounter no doubt, but for Manchester city to win that game, they have to be very watchful of counter attacks from this real madrid side, because I believe that even real madrid knows that they can't match Manchester city toe too toe at the Etihad, so they will like play more of counter attacks, considering how good they actually are in doing that.

It is very important for the clarity to be made and be made vividly. However, without any assumption that everyone knows what you know, how can someone even know and understand that you are referring to Bitcoin by using such term cryptocurrency or cryptos which ever you may called it, Bitcoin is Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is cryptocurrency, that is another  reason why most people spread negative messages about Bitcoin to be a very risky investment ( the truth remains Bitcoin investment is not as risky as most people may have it )by generalizing such term cryptocurrency in terms of Bitcoin and other coins where eventually they might have seen how people has been scammed on dealing with shitcoins whereas they have different principles of operation and functionalities, fuck using such vague, misleading and pretentious language, in this thread.

It's actually true that Bitcoin investment is not as risky as most people think, but it's actually risky, just as any other investment, so if anyone start telling you that their is no risk attached to it, bro, he is lying to entice you, but not only in Bitcoin, their is always a risk attached to all investment, that's why you will keeps on hearing the word, do your own research, so as to know more and what it entails and how to navigate your way around it.

Lastly, as for the alt and the shit coin, they are the real danger, and most people are not aware to the fact that they will definitely get burn by investing in them at some point,  the major problem they mostly have is greed, because they only pay attention to the crazy returns, forgetting about security, and forgetting that they falls more than they rise, but anyone that cares more about security will have nothing to do with alt and shit coin, because they are actually gambling with their hard earned money to me.

I greet the house,
I want to share an experience I had today at my work place ,  so we called for an interview, during the interview an applicant curriculum vitae (CV) was checked and under the column of hobbies the applicant put Forex trading,  my question to him was how is forex trading your hobby? He didn't really give a concrete answer to that , so on getting home I made a research on the following

1. A skill was defined as a Special ability or technique acquired by special training in either an intellectual or physical area
2. A hobby was also defined as an activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure

So as a skill forex trading is technical and acquired through special training and then applied to the physical trading market, while as a hobby traders trade regularly mostly when the trader is less busy and also most traders trade for fun,

So considering these points I can say that forex trading is a skill and also an hobby, your opinions are much well welcomed.

No, forex trading can never be a hobby because it's just as trading futures in crypto, it's really stressful and complicated, just as futures trading, and to tell you the truth, no body trades for fun, everyone trades because of the benefits attached to it if it goes your way.

So I want ask you a question which If you can answer it sincerely, then you will definitely get the answer you are seeking for, would you continue trading if their is no possibilities of making money in it? especially when you are losing money? So what am trying to say is that trading is not a fun thing, it's a digital skill that is very beneficial to anyone that is very good at it.

Many Fans are not just looking down on Arsenal but rather they are trying to lessen the amount of disappointment they got las year before it happened again. Arsenal had similar advantage last season and blew it up, although this time around they are going to have to go against not just Manchester city but also Liverpool. With the way they have responded to been behind this season, coming back to win matches, less injury to the first team players when compare to the crisis they have last season at this stage. They seems to have the most difficult matches when compare too with their contenders but if they continue to be consistent just the way they have been playing since the start of the year, they might just get their first league trophy since years
One of the reasons Arsenal is always having a lot of advantage but is having trouble keeping up with the play is because those who look down on Arsenal are just jealous of Arsenal's performance and all they anticipated from Arsenal is to fail. However, they do not see Arsenal failing. Since Manchester City was fortunate enough to have earned a lot of points from their previous season's play, that season was significantly more favorable for them than it is for Arsenal. And the fact that Arsenal was losing games at the time gave them a significant advantage. That is were it is getting difficult Manchester City and Liverpool been involved the opportunity like last season won't be there again now we have to really work hard to win the title. The games we have ahead we are going to succeed.

It's actually true that most football don't trust arsenal and it's quite normal because arsenal have been a bottler almost since the days of asene Wenger, even most of their fans are already used to disappointment, so you don't have to blame people, because that's the reality on ground, and point of correction, no body is jealous of arsenal, they don't just trust them.

Ok let's take a look at last season, they where topping the league with 8 clear point and it was just 8 matches remaining if am correct, but arsenal bottled it, and let Manchester city came from behind to win the league, which no body expected, even though they have improved this season, nobody still trust them except their fan, because of their bottling records, and to tell you the truth, it's more likely for Manchester city or Liverpool to win the league title this season than arsenal, because they are not trustworthy in  my own point of view.

Unbelievable with Liverpool as favorite team for winning Europe League this season have loss on first leg match over 0-3 at Anfield Stadium, its not good capital for facing second leg match and Liverpool must winning above four goals if won't eliminated in quarter final round. I think Jurgen Klopp over confidence by saving some main players from Mohamad Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Andy Robertson and Luiz Diaz. Make several change on second half but not effective yet and Liverpool must improving hard their performance on second leg match if want qualify to next round.

Other quarter final leg match, AS Roma get the positive result after defeating AC Milan and get more advantage with second legs match will play on their home, need get draw or secure the winning result will make fantastic with Daniele De Rossi success bring Roma qualify to semifinal round and has chance to repeat AS Roma achievement under Jose Mourinho era qualified to final round.

Liverpool suffered an incredible defeat. Actually, it would not be right to say that they played poorly in the match, but they could not score a goal and therefore their chances of being eliminated in the quarter-finals are now quite high. Atalanta made good use of the opportunities and scored 3 goals, this will be a huge advantage for them.
If they can score 1 goal in the next match, they will make great progress in getting out of this tour. We were all surprised, but we need to congratulate Atalanta Smiley

It's actually true that we need to congratulate Atalanta for the time being, but let's not forget that this is Liverpool, it's not over, until it's over, let's take a look at this Liverpool team, to me, what i felt that makes them lose in such a manner was that they felt to relaxed, they were just complacent, but I believe that they have all it takes in their ranks to fight back, just as they did against Barcelona in the champions league a few years back, the only challenge I feel like they will have this time is that they are playing away from home, but the return leg is actually going to be a fascinating encounter between them both.

Hello fam, please read closely e get one wise quote, way I like so much " a stitch in time saves nine" for this investment game no body know everything all at once , we are all Learners , and trust me, we go continue to dey learn and also dey adapt as long as say na this investment game. Normally e get some mistakes way we dey make as investors normally , nine make I say make I bring them to the table so we go fit educate ourselves  and also improve our investment skills. The first most common investment  mistake way most of us dey make na

•un-diversified portfolio:  this one just dey like putting all your eggs in 😂 one basket. Which means say anything way sup for that basket go affect all your eggs. So make we try to spread our investment across other reasonable assets.  then another major investment mistake na

 • timing the market: This one done really affect many people, way be say them no dey fit hold investment or wait for the right time to invest. This matter way I dey talk so , done make some people sell some kind assets way them suppose hold for maturity too early, and also make some people go buy too early, so make we just allow the market do em thing, because these big moves way we dey find , to be honest, e dey take time.
And then the last major mistake na

•In-adequate research: This one na to dey make investment decisions without proper research and strategy, one thing we suppose know na say we need to understand how this thing works, no be magic, we need to go into comprehensive research to get the best out of our investments.


Diversification : My brother I get ur point clearly but in the crypto space, diversifying your investment no make sense, you know why? Because their is no substitute to Bitcoin, almost all those alt and shit coin out their na scam, and if anything happens to Bitcoin, e go affect all other coin.

Timing the market : bro, you no need to time the market as you are a long term holder of Bitcoin, because as long as you dy accumulate am through the DCA method, bro, you go always dey at a profit if you are a long term holder, because the current market value of Bitcoin today is no where near it potential price in the future, just think of it limited supply, and you go understand wetin I dy talk.

Inadequate research : bro, as long as the crypto industry is concerned, Bitcoin remains the most trusted and reliable asset to invest in, I no think say you need to do any research, but if you must do any research, na to just gain more knowledge about it, nothing more, I believe say the research you dy talk about na for most of this alt and shit coin, and to tell you the truth, you will eventually get burn by investing in any of this coin, aside Bitcoin, so my brother, think wisely and act smart.
199  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How To Make Money Trading, Even When You Are Wrong on: April 11, 2024, 05:43:04 AM
I saw a video on Youtube where the trader is able to make money trading, even when he is wrong...

The key points:

He is able to be in drawdown from 8 trades in a row, because he is not risking a large lot size per trade.

He knows the market will retrace back or close to the original first trade,

The newer trades act as the profitable trades to dampen the loss from the earlier trades

I am not an english native speaker so I dont understand everything in the video..do you know where I could find more info on this strategy in text/pdf?

Is it possible to share the video here in case someone is intersted in sharing more details about this strategy?



It's actually true that their are some good and genuine content creator on YouTube, but I can attest to it that, the fake and unreliable ones are more than the genuine ones, concerning the trading aspect, the major causes of traders losing money in trading is as a result of watching two three or four videos on YouTube and think that they are ready, not knowing that their is more to trading than just watching few videos on YouTube and thinks that they have known it all.

For you to be successful in trading, you need to have knowledge of what you are doing first, then patience comes second, and knowing how to control your emotions, knowing how to use your leverage properly, knowing when to stay off the market and many other things you have to masters before venturing into trading, if not, you will keeps on liquidating yourself in the market.

For Arsenal to get a draw while playing at the Emirates Stadium is actually quite bad. Because they know that in the second leg when they play at their opponent's home ground, namely at the Allianz Arena stadium, it will be more difficult for Arsenal.

Seriously Arsenal was suppose to win the match, Bayern Munich which they played against haven’t really been performing well in their local league, they lost their last two matches before they played against Arsenal, and since they played at Emirates stadium, they should have just taken advantage of that and win the match, but they ended up playing draw, when Arsenal visit Bayern Munich at their home, the match is not going to be easy for Arsenal, and Bayern Munich will do everything possible to win the match, seriously they bought have equal chances to win the match.
It makes no sense if you were taking the performance from the domestic league as the strongest variable to determine how strong the club in UCL is. Things have not been going well since Bayern was trying so hard not to lose against Arsenal. Arsenal deserves to get draw against bayern.
People were predicting that arsenal would be destroying Bayern, but it's not even happening. Bayern can win the game even if the club will also be able to win it with a narrow score soon. The main weakness from arsenal has been spotted by bayern munich.
Arsenal is getting even closer to leaving the Champions League this season. The second leg is gonna be the die or alive match for both of clubs. I'm strongly believes Bayern can fully dominate it.

In as much as this particular thread is not the right place to be talking about Bayern Munich and arsenal encounter, because this is a premier league thread, but it very funny how people will just rule a team as Bayern Munich out like that, as if Bayern Munich is a small team, without even considering the rich history and experience of Bayern Munich in the competition.

They actually don't know that in the champions league, experience is an important player in the competition, so I never expected arsenal to run over Bayern Munich easily because Bayern Munich have the required experience in the competition that this arsenal team lack regardless of their present form, and to me, it will take something extra ordinary to happen for arsenal to be be able to knock Bayern Munich our if this year champions league, because as it stands now, Bayern Munich is the clear favourite to progress to the next stage of the competition.
