However, it is not yet known how serious the injury suffered by the Argentine Mega Star.
If this is true, that is really some bad news for Argentina, it can affect their worldcup campaign. But because we all know Messi and how he is not so prone to injuries, I expect to hear good news about his situation. This world cup has already denied us the performance of some players like Mane and Benzema, it will be devastating to hear that another world class player is at the danger of not being able to play. Messi wants to win world cup, it will be devastating not to play.

Bad beginning never end up in good result ,rather  it ends in regret, waste of fund.
Bad beginnings do not always end badly. For beginners in cryptocurrency who have had the recent experience with cryptocurrency and decide not to quit, they will become strong cryptocurrency hodlers and advocates for hodling. Experiencing the bad and risky side of something can make you better prepared to handle it if you stay. So although there can be wastage of funds at the bad beginning, If you are not perturbed and try to understand how to survive in this space and how things work, you will have a good report.

Can someone check on Benzema? Call him on phone and check if he is fine. I am feeling sad the way this world cup is greeted by injuries.
It is a really sad thing the way some of our favorites football stars will miss the world cup. It was Reece James, Sadio Mane, Christopher Nkunku and now Benzema. He has has some injury challenges this season for his club, but I really expected a fit Benzema for the world cup. It will be another opportunity for Giroud to make his mark again with Mbappe. The french coach already knows that Giroud and Mbappe pairing can still work and is sometimes better than Benzema and Mbappe pairing, so it shouldn't pose too much of a problem to them. It is just that they have lesser options in front of goal.

Well that one na small challenges as we go smile again.
This na sure something chief. Day go break again.

God this year was my worst year in cryptocurency and yes I was around the last bear market in 2018 bit not as heavily invested as I was this year.
I can imagine the losses you have made, e nor go easy. This same matter wey dey make you wan vex so for the crypto matter na the same thing wey dun pursue some people from investing in crypto. Good thing na say you nor invest amount wey you nor fit afford to loose, na why you still fit dey here dey talk. If na the way e hit some people, Shege Banza and Sapa dey chill with them like this.

A lot of persons are buying stuff they do not need using their credit cards(money they do not yet have) because they want to impress people they do not like or people who do not give a rats ass about them.
Can we say that it is social media that has contributed to this majorly as well as some other factors? The pressure of wanting to meet up, and the uncontrollable desire to buy things you do not need just for show off. Many people have become victims to this pressure are as a result are now in debt that is becoming frustrating to them.

There are also some narratives that have been encouraged and accepted by people as a result of it. A few popular one's are;
- The notion that it is impossible to be completely debt free.
- The notion that everyone is in debt.
- The notion that rich people are highly indebted, so it is also okay to be in debt.
1806  Economy / Economics / Re: Twitter Crypto head and staff resigns on: November 19, 2022, 09:37:07 PM
It is well known fact that a lot of Twitter employees are leaving the company. Now the news that Tess Rinearson, who was made the head of Twitter crypto team has made a tweet stating that he is leaving the company. Many other people in the crypt unit of Twitter space also followed her and announced that they will also be leaving the company.
Twitter has been loosing a lot of workers, many have been fired and others are deciding that before they get fired and it goes down into record, they just rather quit and prevent having it in their credentials that they were fired from their previous job. As people are resigning, if the positions remain vacant, they will still have people that will apply those positions and be employed for it, One man's loss is another man's gain.
1807  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Teaching my nephew about Bitcoin on: November 19, 2022, 03:00:52 PM
Young people who have not yet known the true meaning of life can misinterpret the gesture of trying to teach them about money as you being a boring relative to them.
 
He spends his free time reading and watching lots of science videos on YouTube.
Since he already has the habit of watching YouTube videos, it means that he can actually do well if you show him some youtube videos concerning bitcoin where bitcoins and cryptocurrency are explained in the simplest form. But as much, you should also encourage your little nephew to still be engaged and not neglect his childhood activities as those activities assist in mental development as well.

You should also engage your nephew in other fun activities and games that he likes, so you don't become the relative that always wants to bore him.
1808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New Solution to Address the Problem of Gambling in Australia. on: November 18, 2022, 05:42:39 PM
Sportsbet, an Australian betting giant, has said that it will support any move to prohibit the use of credit cards for gambling. The operator said that this type of payment method promoted a “play now, pay later” culture which was detrimental to the well-being of players and consumers.
They are very considerate to be willing to support the move to prohibit use of credit cards. very thoughtful as we will not find many betting platforms willing to be in support of such moves.

The problem:Gambling with credit cards is high-risk in nature and could have serious financial consequences.
"Play now, pay later" culture  is a dangerous culture to cultivate, you will finish any money you are expecting before it even comes. What it means is that you will never be debt free if you let the culture become a part of you.

Mane joins the list of many players that are going to miss the world cup because of injury, it is very sad, and Fifa has to take the blame that a lot of players are missing because of the time that the world cup is being played, these players have played many matches for their clubs before this world cup, some of them only left their club's like 7 days ago, it should not be so, the players are going to be tired and we may not enjoy this world cup.
It is very sad for Mane, I was very optimistic about his situation that maybe he will get to still recover a bit and have an opportunity to even play some games should Senegal are able to survive the group stages of the world cup. I was a bit confident about Senegal's performance, but i don't know about now and if they can play without him.  Cameroon is the other African team that we will be looking at now. They have not had an major injury challenges and one of their strikers has been on great form.

 There is no too much attention on Cameron, but they can really do well in this world cup.

Recent fall of FTX shook the crypto ecosystem Also It has come as a lesson for crypto world, though an expensive one.
An expensive lesson for the newbies and people who just invested in cryptocurrency. For the oldies and people who have been with cryptocurrency a while longer, we have had better experience with other coins like Luna that also performed in similar manner, so we are quite used to these situation and know that all these are just the bad days of cryptocurrency and the better days not just the good days will surely be back soon.

Newbies that just invested in cryptocurrency should be not be discouraged, these are the not so regular occurrence in cryptocurrency and it is not a sign that you should quit cryptocurrency.
1811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: November 17, 2022, 12:18:32 PM
I think all of these favourites may lose today because the coaches won't field a main squad ahead of very important games.
Any body that was selected for the world cup to represent their country deserved their spot in the world cup team and were selected based on their recent form and fitness. Because it is just eleven players that can feature at a go, only eleven will have to play, it doesn't make the other players less special. The team may not play intense football  so they don't get injured, but a win is important to raise the morale of the players entering the world cup and they know the importance.

The case of underage voters has been on for a long time. This practice of having underage voters is very common in the north, the politicians from there know this that is why they always brag that they have numbers. A big part of the success of this election will depend on INEC, to ensure that the electoral process is free and fair. We are already hearing cases of Underage voters, destroyed PVC'S, Many voters registration that were invalidated etc. This election will be one of the most challenging for them, because many eyes will be on them to see how credible and free of irregularities this election will be. I hope INEC doesn't betray us.
1813  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Write a song with your seed phrase on: November 17, 2022, 10:54:17 AM
Humans have trouble remembering nonsense like 12 random words, but if you write some lyrics and add the melody to your favorite song, it’s a lot easier. I have no idea what Kurt Cobain is talking about above, but if the melody is good, we can remember any combination of words.
Making music out of things that are difficult to keep to memory is a really good way not to forget things. I remember that when we were in the  high school then and were trying to learn about the first twenty elements in chemistry and also the periodic table, Our teacher made us sing a song that she formed using the name and symbol of these elements. It was the surest way for us not to ever forget, because I actually never did till date, whenever I remember the melody, I remember the elements in the right order. If songs were able to help us learn the very long periodic table, turning your seed phrase into a melody can be another good way to always remember them. You can even go the extra to record or write this song so even if you face experience memory loss, you will not be left completely blank.
1814  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current discussion: African teams at Qatar. on: November 17, 2022, 08:09:57 AM
Anybody that fixed this friendly at this critical time has to be fired as it makes no sense. We should be expecting quality football and anything that'll obstruct that should be avoided like all the friendliest ongoing.
These players are fresh coming up from their different clubs, while the friendlies may seem unnecessary and like stress for the players, it is important for the coach to see how they can play as a team before the group stage of the world cup begins where every game counts.

Portugal will be without Ronaldo in the friendlies against Nigeria in Lisbon and I am sure the coach will not over stress his key players. Nigeria will win against Portugal.

Christopher Nkuku's bad luck has resulted in good news for Randal Kolo Muani, who has given up hope of representing his country in the upcoming World Cup tournament in Qatar.
I feel very pity for him because he was one of the talents from France that everyone was looking forward to watch in the world cup. It will be very painful for him because he made it to the world cup but didn't make it to the first game. The other players will become more careful during the training sessions.

There's a little scare in the Portugal camp because Ronaldo did not train with him due to stomach upset (gastritis). He has been ruled out of their friendly game they have against Nigeria due to it, and they are hoping it doesn't affect his fitness for the world cup.

1816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 16, 2022, 09:28:23 PM
Barcelona president Laporta said that they weren't going to be in a condition that they could sign any new player in the transfer window in January according to some news. I don't see this as bad news for Barcelona truthfully. .
Clubs don't always need to buy players during the transfer window. Barcelona during the last transfer window were one of the teams that were active in signing players, considering the quality of players they already have in their team, I don't see any need to get more players, the ones they have got now have to first perform. It is also still possible that they go back on their word and decide to get a few more players.
1817  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The risks of self-custody outweigh the risk of exchanges on: November 16, 2022, 05:33:24 PM
You may have heard of James Howells and his $11 million plan to find a hard drive with $181 million in Bitcoin. That is a risk of self-custody.
Nobody said that self custody was 100% risk free, but sometimes it is better to put your fate of safety in your hands than depend on someone that you will be unable to know exactly when they have been compromised. James Howells is one of the very many cases of carelessness, but it is also a reminder that it is also a possibility and something that can happen to anyone. As we are all considering self custody this sort of reminders that come through stories that loss is still possible is very important to make us aware that there are still risks involved.

1819  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Never depend on cryptocurrency as your only source of income. on: November 15, 2022, 03:00:58 PM
Making cryptocurrency your only source of income is a bad idea, you should be expecting money just from one source, is a really bad idea, most people can’t really hold there coins because cryptocurrency is their only source of income, which whenever they are in need of money they endup selling the coins which they purchase to hold for a long period of time, but if you are having other sources of income whenever you are in need of emergency money, you won’t sell your coins, you can get money from those other sources of income you are having. So even if you are into cryptocurrency fully, I believe you should have other business which you will be running to support your cryptocurrency investment, and with that you will be financially stable, if you are holding a coin you will be able to overlook it for long period of time without selling because you don't only depend on it for survival.
Some of the most successful hodlers are people who have other sources of income. You can't expect to be a successful hodler when cryptocurrency is only what you do and base your survival on. It is even advised normally that having one source of income, be it crypto or any other means is strongly discouraged. After securing one source of income, the goal should be to secure another and not become satisfied with just one. IMO, three sources of income should be the least that somebody should have. For the employees, there is no job security, apart from your salary job and investment in crypto, you should strive to have another or more incase you get dropped from your salary job, so you do not become directly dependent on the cryptocurrency you have for your survival. 
1820  Economy / Economics / Re: Has the popularity of bitcoins reduced interest of people in stocks? on: November 15, 2022, 02:06:11 PM
I think in some countries, people are really shifting to crypto only and most of their investment portfolio is in the form of crypto instead of stocks. The awareness related to crypto is increasing day by day and this more people are getting included in this crowd.
New things have a tendency to attract people, that can be the reason more persons are becoming more interested in bitcoins. People still invest in stocks, some people investing in stocks and bitcoins at the same time.

Stocks on the other hand become saturated, people have realized that these stocks are not as much profitable as bitcoins.
Stocks are still popular with the older investors. The high volatility of bitcoin has made people consider it more profitable than stocks investments, but it also means the risks are higher as well.

Also, there are other benefits of bitcoins like it can be used for transactions. This cannot be done with stocks.
Not like I am speaking against bitcoin, but a mature discussion should consider both sides when a comparison is made. There are also other benefits with stocks that bitcoin cannot offer, an example is the ownership benefits to a business/company that it provides.

Both Bitcoins and stocks offer investment opportunities, and they are both beneficial in their own way.
