We know better cryptocurrency market always unpredictable. Yet we invest in the cryptocurrency market. Sometimes the market gradually turns to bear.
My question is how do we know if the market will go bearish.
Negative news has great impact on the market that is why you needed to keep updated with fundamental news announced from reliable news source, I recall few years ago whenever there is a major ban of cryptocurrencies, clamping down on exchanges in some crypto friendly country when such an announcement is officially made the impact on the price was usually felt the on price of that particular cryptos a massive dump would be experienced, likewise a fundamental positive news also triggers a pump in price of that particular crypto for instance XRP won a major case against SEC recently which is a positive news immediately after the judgement  price of XRP experience a massive pump.

The reason one needs to have a source of income before planning to invest cryptocurrency is because cryptocurrency doesn't provide peoples upkeeps everyday, profit gained from crypto takes place one's in a while. As humans we need to survive everyday, so we need what will generate money on a steady for this. Crypto expecially bitcoin can give profits if only people can hodl bitcoin for sometime and it is not possible to expect steady flow of money from this.
Hodling Bitcoin is like saving your asset for a long term perspective in wallet instead of fiat and saved in a bank where you are liable to withdraw some of the funds, however hodling Bitcoin in a wallet means a time would come when some the profit earned can be withdrawn, however for the hodlers to sustain themselves definitely they would have to rely on other source of income possibly from side hustle, historically price of Bitcoin do attain all time high at a certain period of time thus that is appropriate period for hodlers to reap what they had sow thus to be counted among those hodlers who would profit from their investment that means they had sustained themselves with other source of income for a very long time.

The parent of such a child should know that they have failed in nurturing the child against such vices as gambling and stealing and the child should be punished or scolded properly to avoid a repeat of such.

If am the parent though, I would be embarrassed, I would find out why after listening to child speak and inorder not to let my mental state be perplexed, I would cease such gambling activities I partake in or refrain from gambling in their presence in total.
There can be incidence of a nurtured kids still exhibiting some of these bad behavior probably they learnt it from friends or colleagues in school, some of these kids had some exposure towards gambling when they saw their friends displayed their winning bets consequently having exhausted every others means to fund their betting account resorted to stealing their parent money, I am sure the case reported by the OP that child must have been influenced by one of his friends, I think one of the ways of preventing this anomaly is that parents should be watchful over their kids and the type of friends they move with at home and lecture them about the consequences of gambling as a kid.

Every match in the Premier League is a big game because you are not sure of taking the whole three points until you have played your match and won. Arsenal is already in the Premier League title race because they are in the third position in the Premier League table, with 43 points and two points behind the Premier League table leader.

I agree with what you say. The English League is really interesting to watch because they have an even level of competition between teams. Every English league match is very interesting and I admit I know more about the names of football players in the EPL than in other leagues. But even so, Arsenal still has a chance to win the title because they are only 2 points away from the top of the standings. The top 5 positions can still change because there is not that much difference in points.
Even relegation battling teams cannot be underrated especially at this stage of the league because they always play with full strength and zeal that is why I always agreed that premier league matches are always tough, lower and mid table clubs are always not easy to play against especially when they play top teams even Man City had lost some few of their matches to those clubs this season likewise Arsenal and Chelsea. Meanwhile Arsenal convincing win against Crystal Palace yesterday had relaunch their title bid once again I think from now on till the end of the season it going to be battle of the top teams even Aston Villa are pushing forward towards  challenging those top teams I believe there is going be a competitive matches ahead in EPL.

I don't just sell my Bitcoin needlessly there must be cogent reason for the sale thus I have no regret for selling some of the coins, there are times when I had exhausted every possible means to get some fiat to pay for some bills, buy important stuffs etc I had no alternative than to resort to selling some Bitcoin via P2P, of course if I had I other means of solving those financial needs yet I didn't utilize it rather sold some of my Bitcoin it would have been a big regret to me, moreso it is a privilege to among or being a Bitcoin enthusiast it has opened a door of opportunities for me and solved a lot of financial issues that I had no other means of solving.

Training and continuous improvement of skills are key elements of successful trading. Emotional control, especially in times of market instability, helps avoid decisions based on fear or greed, which can lead to undesirable consequences. Very often, people cannot overcome their emotions on the stock exchange, which leads to the loss of their savings.
Yes learning the necessary skills consistently would led to improvement in how to trade, however this comes with a lot of sacrifices in term of period of time, discipline, persevere, backtesting of trading strategies etc, it's a pity newbies in trading don't want to pass through any learning period and curve all they want is to fund their account and start trading with limited knowledge and some basic idea of trading, many of them are also having a mindset of getting rich quickly through trading as seeing profitable results of some experience traders online, it's took a lot of years of personal sacrifices and efforts before those  profitable traders became successful traders.
187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling can be a hope restorer if we go about it wisely! on: January 20, 2024, 08:17:43 AM
This topic is interesting,but not so many persons believe that it can restore hope,In gambling,two things happen,it's either you will lose or you will win,but the winning rate is always lesser than the losing rate.I have seen a friend who had nothing turn to a millioneaer overnight because of gambling,and I've also seen a millionaire turn to a begger because of gambling,it all depends on how we see it,what we want,and how we go about it.I no longer believe in staking on so much accumulated odds,staking a reasonable amount on a lesser odd is what I like now because that's the only one that has a greater chance of playing.
I think the story is about few successful gamblers whose  win had restored their hope while giving an example of  a gambly that empowered himself with a bus for transportation business and the other gambler in the forum who bought a Smart TV with his winning bet, however there are many gamblers who are also losers too and who wouldn't discuss their losses publicly but sadly faces the consequences of their losses individually, to be on a safer side or the best bet is to gamble responsibly with the amount of money you can afford to lose and even with a small stake a gambler can win reasonable amount of money by a accumulating few winning games to an big odd.

Arsenal must do everything possible to get back to their normal winning ways,they have been poor inform,losing three consecutive games,but I believe the game vs Crystal palace is going to get them back to winning ways.However,they must be aware of the threat Crystal palace will bring,because they are a very good side as Well,they know how to disturb big teams,and if I'm giving a prediction,I will chose them to score against Arsenal because recently, Arsenal's defence have been so shaky that they find it difficult to keep a clean sheet.The game is an early kick-off game,so my television will be on to see how many goals Arsenal will be able to score in this one.
Do you mean there will be lots of goals in this match?
I have indeed considered betting on goal over compared to betting on Arsenal winning this match.

Actually, Arsenal has a pretty big chance of winning this match, I'm sure Arteta will do whatever it takes to win the match because if not Arsenal will be even further behind in points on the standings.
Arsenal have failed to win for 3 consecutive matches in the Premier League, of course the match against Crystal Palace will be an anger for Arsenal players.
I think this is quite possible because Crystal Palace is not in a slump right now.
Arsenal knew the consequences of losing or playing a draw against Crystal Palace today would be a major setback towards their title bid thus it is a must win match for the gunners, though they lost some of their previous matches, however the team played brilliantly and dominated possession in those matches unfortunately couldn't score goals that means the team isn't doing badly but squandered lot of goal scoring chances today match Arsenal would right their wrongs and ensure they secure their maximum three points today so as to continue to mount pressure on Liverpool and Man City the two clubs I believe are the major title contenders this season.

Cape Verde 3-0 Cape Verde

Cape Verde escape the group zone

Cape Verde has qualified for the next stage with six points already, Cape Verde are the first to ensure their spot at the knockout stages, Egypt is at risk because their next match with be against Cape Verde who have secured their ticket to the knockout stages, I don't think the will give Egypt a chance to qualify, Salah is injured now and is their best player, I will only put hope for Ghana to be the second to qualify because they are capable of winning Mozambique because Mozambique conceded more goals.
Quite an interesting match though marked by two costly mistakes by the Mozambican firstly by their goalkeeper who couldn't stop Bebe long range shot which caught him helpless that is absolutely poor goalkeeping the second mistake was their defender who was dispossessed by Mendes da Graça who scored the second goal and the match ended 3-0 in favor of Cape Verde a country that nobody gave a chance of progressing to the round of 16 because they are a group that consist Ghana and Egypt, the country squad worked and up their game got rewarded consequently became the first country to qualify for the round of 16 even with a game in hand.
190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 19, 2024, 02:30:11 PM
Salah's predicted injury is a hamstring injury. I think it won't be too serious. In the short term, the Egyptian team will be directly affected if Salah is absent. As for Liverpool, their schedule this January is not too heavy, they only have to play one match in the Premier League against Bournemouth.
That's why Liverpool can completely give Salah the right to rest in the next few weeks if he is unfortunately injured. The Premier League championship race still has a long way to go. This is just a temporary shortfall for Liverpool. Mancity should not be too hasty to rejoice and lose focus.
The news about the gravity of the hamstring injury might be out today after a proper medical checkup. Both Egypt and Liverpool will be hoping that that injury is not that serious. His absence will have some negative impact on the Pharaohs as we saw the Ghanaian fans cheering when they saw that he was injured. Everyone knows that Salah is a threat to any defense. Liverpool will want him back as soon as possible to get the best medical treatment because they need the striker to fight for all the competitions they intend to win this season.
Liverpool is the team most worried about this news because Salah is one of their mainstay players which of course will have quite an impact on the Liverpool team's performance if Salah is absent due to injury.
The injury suffered by Salah has not been confirmed whether it is dangerous, it will take a long time or not, but what is clear is that the Egyptian team is also quite disadvantaged by this, especially in this match, Egypt drew 2-2 in Group B of the African Cup of Nations and this is the second time they have achieved a draw.
Mohammed Salah's injury isn't expected to last longer than one more week according to reports as he's very likely to play in his country's last group game in the African Cup Of Nations. Liverpool this weekend will play their against will play against Bournemouth in the English Premier League and will need a win in that game to further cement their place at the top of the league table and they'll be doing that without Mohammed Salah.

Many people are of the opinion that since Salah won't feature for Liverpool in that game, they're very likely to lose it and that I think is a big lie because Liverpool is full of top quality footballers who can easily win games for the club in Salah's absence. That game will be played at Anfield and expect nothing but a Liverpool win.
According to some news report the gravity of Salah injury is yet to be confirmed and ascertain by Liverpool until after a Scan with MRI thereafter an announcement would be made to know the period he would be on sideline  for now I don't think Salah would play the next match for his country, meanwhile Salah absence in Liverpool starting eleven would have a great impact on the side, he provides assists as well as score goals for Liverpool the likes of Nunez, Gakpo and Luiz Diaz are not profilic and not a clinical finisher like Salah who created chances out of nothing to help Liverpool win matches let wait and see how the team would cope without him.

Last bull run was 2021 and after that, altcoins price dumped a lot. In 2022, we noticed a little pump and in this year 2023, altcoins pumped a lot, if compare altcoins price chart after end of bull run.           So have you able to gained anything after the end of last bull run? Or last bull run makes you dumped and you are still trying to regain what you have lost?
I took some partial profits in the last bull run when I needed fiat urgently having exhausted other options to source for money which was necessary to met up with some urgent needs, I sold some of my coins with the hope of hodling the remaining coins till halving, however the market had been experiencing a downward trend even in the aftermath of approval of Bitcoin ETF by SEC I was hopeful that after the approval all cryptocurrencies would experience another massive pump in their prices my remaining assets would also earn me more profit unfortunately reverse was the case  though I am very optimistic that the market would return to a bullish trend.

With just under half the games left to play this season, I think the next few matches will make it clear how serious Arsenal are, let's look at their consistency. But don't forget about Liverpool too, they are very strong now and will fight for sure, since they managed to secure the first place even in the middle of the season
Actually arsenal against crystal Palace is going to be a very interesting match because is not gonna be easy on crystal Palace because arsenal will really mount a serious pressure on them because with how arsenal has seriously lose so many point lately they will really make sure they acquire the 3 points so that they will have the chance to compete with Aston Villa on the table, although there is every possibility that arsenal will win crystal Palace because crystal palace this season is not really the club we use to no with a very impressive performance so I believe they will not give arsenal mich of a time to win.
There is too much talk about this derby as Arsenal is going to have third consecutive London derby after losing first two against West Ham United and Fulham can they overthrow this losing streak, or we are going to have another nightmare for them with things are surely now going worst for them, and they have no fair chance for the coming back at the top of the league table with this performance Crystal Palace is not easy task for them with their record at Emirates Stadium is also not bad with having one lost and three draws making life not easier for the Arsenal fans, but now it's big question can Arsenal do the magic and bring themselves to the third spot or going to have another poor result which will bring them down and surely out of the chance for top two spots.
This is a must win game for Arsenal to keep the team in the title race of course Crystal Palace would threatened them as usual based on the past records between the two teams though one of the team experience attacker Zaha had moved to Galatasaray, however I think Arsenal would win this match at the Emirates so as to end their miserable runs having lost two consecutive derby which was a big setback in their bid to win the league title and with Liverpool and Man City pushing forward to win the title too thus a win for Arsenal tomorrow would put the team on track for a three horse race among the three teams I don't think Aston Villa would pose a big challenge for the league title.

The match between Egypt and Ghana ended in 2:2 draw with Mohammed Kudus scoring a brace for the black stars of Ghana. Ghana really dominated this match but their defense was too porous thereby granting the Egyptians access to equalize the goal each time Ghana scores. This AFCON competition is really getting more tensed and tough as some stronger countries in the competition met each other today. Earlier today, Ivory Coast played against the super eagles of Nigeria and the match ended 0 - 1 in favour of Nigeria.
The match between Egypt vs Ghana was the best match so far in the ongoing AFCON competition, the live up to expectations and it a very interesting and competitive match between the two big African countries it was very entertaining from the start to finish, the match is in sharp contrast with the earlier match between Nigeria vs Ivory coast which ended in favor of Nigeria unfortunately the two countries performances was average, Ghana defence was poor and prone to mistakes which resulted to their conceded goals, I think that the area where their manager should urgently fixed while the Egyptians are technically gifted.
194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: January 18, 2024, 08:35:20 PM
At the moment it looks like Nigeria is going to walk away with the one goal record the currently hard with CIV whi is already at extra time and the player are doing everything possible to protect their 18 line from every possible penetrations.

I think if Nigeria is able to away with this match against the host nation in this round, this will be alot of motivation for the Nigeria team ahead of the whole round.
Nigeria game plan really worked perfectly I think their game plan is to sit back and defend while launching counterattack taking the advantage of pacy Victor Osimhen, of course it's not easy playing the host country and equally with good players and it's obvious the Ivorians dominated and took most of the possessions including 3 shot on goal against Nigeria with only 1 shot, though Nigeria had a clear chance wasted by Osimhen in the first half and now with the look of things Ivory coast is now in a precarious situation now because they have a tough match against Equatorial Guinea who had 4 points and would aim for draw to qualify for the next round.
195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: January 18, 2024, 02:39:01 PM

It is obvious there is very low level of optimism among Nigerians as they face Ivory Coast today. Such is expected following the poor performance Nigeria displayed against Equatorial Guinea, a match the whole world believe Nigeria will win with ease. Not that they even struggled to draw with Guinea, no one is expecting any magic from them against Ivory Coast who will even enjoy home advantage.


Well you won't blame them if they have a low morale towards the game today especially with how the players look like they are not serious about moving past the group stage. You can agree with me that the Super eagles aren't like there were before if not they would have comfortably beat Equatorial Guinea and now being faced with a very in form Ivory coast, the minds of many Nigerians are quite shaky, but I have the feeling that Nigeria can surprise us today. We know that these two have a bitter rivalry and anytime they meet, it's either a win from the either side or a well fought draw and of course Nigerians are hoping for a win this time out.
 
Super Eagle match against Equitoria Guinea wasn't a bad performance from my own point of view, though many Nigerian fans were very optimistic of the team to thrash their opponent unfortunately luck wasn't on their side it's not that they played badly, Osimhen had some clear-cut goal scoring chances which was wasted, intoday's match I am expecting to watch a well determined and formidable team against Ivory Coast of course the Super Eagle knew that a loss against the host country might lead to their crashing out of the competition in group stage, thus wouldn't give any room for complacency though I am expecting a very tough match, however I m predicting a win for the Super Eagles.

I just see Arsenal repeating same thing they did in the premier league last season, just take a look at how Arsenal started very well this season just to reach this stage and starts losing points. Well, it's obvious that Arsenal may not really be strong enough to stand as title contenders this season so their match against Crystal palace may not be certain to whether they can defeat them regardless of the fact that they are playing in their home ground after all, they lost against Westham in Emirate stadium so it wouldn't be a surprise if Crystal palace also do the same.
Maybe Arsenal is experiencing conditions similar to last season. Even this season I think it's worse. Because last season we saw Arsenal still ranked at the top in the middle of the season. And dropped to 2nd place at the end of the season. Arteta seems to have to rebuild the squad. More thorough preparations must be made for next season. But this season there is something different, namely Arsenal will fight in the last 16 of the UCL. So Arsenal's goals may be much bigger this season. But with the current conditions, it is natural that doubts are starting to creep in among all Arsenal fans.

against Crystal Palace shouldn't be a big deal. But maybe Arsenal will find it difficult to score many goals. Arsenal will probably win but with a narrow score.
One of the major problem of Arsenal is lack of depth which has been the same problem of last season, though they did sign two players, Havertz and injured Timber of course those signings  hasn't made the squad more formidable and again it's obvious the team lack a competent striker and Arteta hasn't address that problem take a look at most the matches they lost they dominated and took most of the possessions yet couldn't register or score goals, the team is the architect of their own fortune if the management is ready to win the league they should do the needful by signing top striker, with their next match against crystal palace as it's going to be a tough match because now Arsenal is unpredictable.

Funny that last season Everton were in the relegation zone without penalties and miraculously managed to stay in the EPL... Looks like they have a tough task to survive again this season... If they do get a 10 point penalty they won't stand a chance...

With a few games left means Everton have to win a few more games than the teams in the relegation zone at the moment. Actually, I'm sure they will be able to do that if you look at their quality. At least they will be able to survive in the League. This is huge pressure for all Everton officials. I think their chances are 50:50 because a team like Everton can spring a surprise and get good results at the end of the season.
The league is just above half of the matches played 21 matches played with 17 more matches to I think and optimistic that Everton would survive relegation despite 10 points deductions the team was able to stay 1 point above the relegation zone, It obvious Sean Dyche Everton manager has what it takes to steer the out of relegation, teams like Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton Town would find it difficult to displace Everton from that position as we know that Everton has a track record of winning and creating upset when playing big teams they that against Arsenal last season and definitely they would repeat that feat of defeating some big teams this season too.
199  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paying house rent with bitcoin is it appropriate? on: January 17, 2024, 08:38:46 AM
Glancing through the article https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-rent-agreement-argentina-landlord-tenant one would conclude adoption is striving in Argentina. Paying for a house with bitcoin sounds to me a mistake or lack of financial knowledge. Bitcoin is better than Fiat. Bitcoin increases in value and fiat faces inflation. Why then would one spend Bitcoin instead of fiat on a house rent which may expire in few years? Accommodating the Bitcoin can birth the person more money to pay his next house rent. But fiat wouldn't add any interest in the bank. Moreover the house owner will not hold the Bitcoin.


Bitcoin also serve as a medium of payment so there nothing new in using it to pay for house rent, perhaps the tenant might have exchanged or converted all his fiat to Bitcoin while adopting it solely as a medium of exchange for all transactions, I understand your point of view with regards to pump in price of Bitcoin would earn more profit for the hodler that is adoption of Bitcoin as a store of value, however as the tenant earn more fiat through salaries, businesses and other related source of income of course it can also be converted or exchange to Bitcoin and hodl in the wallet continually as a store of value.

If Liverpool want to win the title, they must win consistently. Liverpool is now only 2 points ahead of Manchester City. Losing a point in a match would also see Liverpool lose top spot in the table. This is why every match now is very important for Liverpool.
Changes in position from first to fifth can still occur because the difference in points is very small. Liverpool is under pressure from Manchester City with a difference of two points, a defeat suffered by Liverpool in the next match makes it lose first position if Manchester City manages to win the match in the same week. This season's EPL competition is more competitive than last season, Tottenham, who is in fifth place, has the same points as Arsenal, who is in fourth place. Arsenal must win the match in Week 21 to stay away from Tottenham and catch up with the points collected by Aston Villa.
Manchester City which is starting to find its best playing form, is trying to reach the top of the standings from Liverpool. The difference of two points with Liverpool makes the competition at the top of the standings even more exciting.

At the stage of the league there is no room for complacency among the top 4 teams any flop or drop in point would result to runner-up team taking over top position, though currently Liverpool is trying to consolidate their top position even in the absence of Mo.Salah, however Man City seem to be more formidable now with the return of star player and midfield maestro Kevin DeBruyne they team would be difficult to be defeated, even Arsenal though had dropped in form yet they shouldn't be completely written off thus would fight til finish, personally I can't predict the likely winner of the league because there are many more matches to be played.
