1801  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: June 10, 2023, 09:53:01 PM
As a fan of Inter let me say that I don't know any more worse attacker than Lukaku,holy f*ck how can you lose two sure goals with just 2 meters of distance.Not his fault though,it was a dream night for Ederson the goalkeeper of Manchester City which made some fabulous saves and it did not wanted to go Inter way,even Dimarco hit Lukaku which was again the person to remove the equalizer from Inter hands.

On another note congrats to Manchester City,they finally made the triple and won the Champions League for the first time,it was very well deserved for them.

Sorry for the loss but I was actually impressed with Inter Milan's performance and as for Lukaku I feel he was under pressure and the game was looking more fun even Milan's defense was tight making it very difficult for manchester city to score and one thing I notice with manchester city is that once they score one and they noticed that their opponents are also good they start protecting and playing a very defensive game even Foden lost good opportunity to score if inter milan can play like this I think they still have a better chance next season to win the champions league and once again congrats to the city on their victory.
Inter Milan performance tonight was astonishing and as one that supported Manchester City tonight I can boldly day for Milan they fought a good fight, for it wasn't their lucky day at all, with all the close attempts at the mouth of the goalpost nothing of a goal come in for Milan. Lukaku was indeed under no pressure tonight and as always he just can't deliver when mostly needed as an attacker.
Congratulations to the citizyns!

.

I did think Manchester City would have managed to score a goal but Inter isn’t having any of it. Good game for both sides. 0:0 for now.
I hope De Bruyne doesn’t have to leave the field cause of an injury.
The game is a very tough one for both sides and it's unfortunate for Manchester City that they are losing a key player like K. Debryne to injury in just first 45mins of the game. It's already end of the first half and I think city needs to be careful of the tackling marking tactics of inter Milan not to get frustrated by there agressive marking and loss the game through a counter.
1803  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: June 10, 2023, 02:58:57 PM
But Inter Milan with their low profile team as been doing well too, in their league and in the champions league, when it comes to champions league game, every team has a Chance, people are just undermining Inter Milan in this game, i still believe Inter Milan will clinch the cup.
Manchester city and Pep Gaudiola will be disappointed tonight, if you're staking your bet give it a goal , goal to be save.
Agree with you, every team that can enter the UCL final has the same 50:50 chance. In my opinion, the final will depend on who can score first. If Inter Milan were able to score first, they would most likely defend completely and aim for a counter attack to increase the score.

If that happens, it is very likely that Inter Milan will win with a score of 1-0 or 2-1. But if Man City scores first, it will be hard for Inter Milan to turn things around, Man City will play even more ferociously and maybe the score will be 3-0 or 3-1 in favor of City.
The first sign that Manchester City would end up winning the game is if that take the lead in the first half of the game, as City have been unlucky in most crucial games as this where they had to conceive the first goal and never able to get a come-back in the game.

Inter Milan is a strong counter attacking side and leading in the game may give them a leverage in the game over City. But be it as it may, my support goes to the citizyns tonight and I hope Gardiola surprises the world as he has done with other clubs like Barca and Madrid.

No doubt exchanges are quite risky to leave our coins dormant in there but these exchanges are playing an ultimate role that shouldn't be underestimated because of a risk that could be avoided by the users. We are all aware of the various features embedded in these platforms and their functional usages that makes each uniquely important. With a non-custodial wallet it's obvious you can't trade but it's less risky and put you totally in control of your asset through your seed phrase, while in exchanges you're not totally in charge of your wallet as your seed phrase are under the exchanges care but you can make trades  be it spot or features trading with it.

It's beckon on the user/trader to understand and know  how to make good use of these different platforms to keep his assets safe and secure while you make profit at same time.
1805  Economy / Economics / Re: To Hodl or Lend: What is your take? on: June 09, 2023, 09:18:52 PM
In my view point bitcoin trading and bitcoin lending is of no much difference as both points to profit making and risk inclusive altogether. While you trade there's a possibility of you losing your coins same with lending, the borrower could abscond with your coin closing down all channels of trace leading to your loss as a lender.  Wether be it lending or trading there is risk and so it all depends on your choice of risk  you would want to take in making profits. Hitherto to this post, I don't ever intend on becoming a bitcoin lender any day.
1806  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Merits again] Discuss the velocity of Bitcoin on: June 09, 2023, 05:28:16 PM
I believe that in the case of Bitcoin, the velocity should be calculated using the quantity of coins that are apparently available and released for use. I believe this because Bitcoin means a variety of things to different people and organisation, and its capabilities are fairly complex.
my first thought is to go  to say that for a sustained velocity it needs a constantly new number of (new users/Interactions)..
A constant entrant of new users to bitcoin isn't just enough to create a good level of velocity of the coin. With the current number of users of bitcoin all over the globe yet the velocity doesn't correspond with the users and that's because so many are using it as a store of value while a very few are the ones using it as a means of exchange for goods and services. Unlike dollar where almost all users mainly using the currency as means of exchange for goods and services all over the world.

Another important thing that can sustain a good velocity of bitcoin is the lifting of restrictions imposed on bitcoin by some countries around the world as this restrictions has made the users in these countries focus on just seeing the digital currency as a store of value whereas the BTC has so many usages that many users haven't experienced it with.
1807  Economy / Speculation / Re: Opportunity to buy on: June 09, 2023, 03:14:09 PM
This is a great deal of opportunity when the price of bitcoin keeps going down, I want you to seized the opportunity to buy and hip. We have no ideas what is currently happening to the market but all hope are not lost, bitcoin will take us for a surprise and I don't want to miss the chance or feel regrets not obtaining any amount of bitcoin.
Years back when I first had the opportunity to invest in bitcoin I rejected the idea with an incredulity of mind. In that the person that introduced it to me never gave me well informed and convincible information about it. And even as years drive by I never did thought of giving it a chance not until after the last ATH when I heard someone boasting about the profit he made just for HODLing. Though I felt some regrets initially for not giving it a try when I first got to know about it. To cut it short, am today one of the enthusiasts of the digital asset and it's being an incredible financial journey for me.

To buy and hip means to DCA and that's a strategic idea tht can be profitable for those who have enough money to always take advantage of every little dip that takes place.

Quote
Even as bad as the price is, some people are still making cool money out of it, that's mean we never loss investment when you really understands the value of bitcoin.
The very best way to easily see opportunity in bitcoin price at any market pricing is to first have a good knowledge about BTC and how it works. With that it's easy to see every condition about it as an opportunity to make profit from either investing more or trading (long, short or scalping) as the case may be.
1808  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling is a choice. on: June 08, 2023, 04:32:26 PM
Yes, maybe other people's opinions are different from ours. There are those who gamble can change our family's economy, there are those who gamble because of hobbies or pleasure.  as long as by gambling you don't feel at a loss and are comfortable it doesn't matter right.
After all, we will lose if we keep playing gambling because no one knows when we can win. We can only keep playing until we win, but the consequence is that we can lose a lot of money. If we are ready to do it, we can try it, but most of us will not be ready when we lose more than we imagine, so that makes some of us experience depression and frustration.

From the past until now, many people have wanted to get big wins from gambling but can't see the risks behind playing gambling. And when they lose a lot of money, they realize they have lost a lot.
In gambling, losing money is a risk that is certain to occur and this is absolute, while winning is just luck where we cannot determine and we hope to win.
One must be able to accept defeat if they decide to gamble and must be prepared if they lose money, either in large or small amounts.
If a gambler cannot accept the risk of losing and also only hopes for victory then he will get an appropriate lesson, namely a feeling of disappointment that is so deep because they fail to control themselves.
The attachment to gambling by a gambler is something so strong while they are on it that nothing you have got to say at that moment would be making any sense to the gambler, the only thing that can revive his senses is a loss, a big loss with no money to continue wagering.  Losing in gambling is part of the game in as much as we are all focus on winning, and anyone that doesn't want to lose is just not serious and ready yet to gamble. It's preferable they don't get involved.
1809  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Biggest challenges of bitcoin... on: June 08, 2023, 11:14:33 AM

So if you're asking yourself can I invest? Is bitcoin worth investing in? Is it smart choice to invest? Then you need to understand the challenges involved, the pros and cons, what makes it difficult to invest or not.

https://www.google.com/url?q=https://mint.intuit.com/blog/investments/pros-and-cons-of-bitcoin/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiZqMKO7fn-AhULUcAKHXi7CvYQFnoECAQQFA&usg=AOvVaw0WbZ-GFopDbGQkRs7kS0nf
It's due to these associated challenges and difficulties about bitcoin that's why newcomers are enjoined to get to have good understanding of how bitcoin works the pros and cons of it. Particular the volatility and the irreversibility of the coin are key issues most entrants into the industry ain't giving the awareness about by those that introduce them to it. All you mostly hear is invest, invest and hodl. A proper way to start with should be about the scalabilities and challenges involved first.
1810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take Part in Gambling Lotteries ? on: June 08, 2023, 10:15:38 AM
Am done with lotteries, no matter how many times I had tried it's only seem like a bad luck for me. Lottery is believed to be cheaper to get involved in or participate compared to casino gambling but the luck to win in lottery compared to casino gambling is very slim if not near impossible looking at the number of persons that participates in a single lottery. But for casino gambling you could be sure of winning at least a single wager out of ten times bets, only that casino gambling takes much money out of the pocket than lottery does.
1811  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How safe are physical exchanges in your neighborhood. on: June 08, 2023, 07:01:45 AM
The government is an authority within it's jurisdiction and owns all means of legitimate coercion and it is needful that anyone who finds himself within such society where the government has discountenance towards crypto tread with utmost careful as he embarks on his cryptocurrency business. Making a public show only endangers you and your business.

I come from a country where the government throw the banks frown at any crypto related business and transacts and to keep myself safe from anyone raising an eyebrow on me digging for informations I discreetly act like a pure novice to any crypto activities publicly done cause you just can't tell who's watching. Let's be guided please.

As a beginner, it seems I need a special place, such as:

1. Test creating a post
2. Test make a post with special characters like (quote, color, insert code, font, etc)
2. Test make a quote in the comments
3. Test make multi quote in the comments
4. Others

There are quite good number of threads that can navigate you with ease through the forum. Looking above I can see a few helpful threads giving out by other members for OP. But I'll like to add this two to  those already giving above.

1813  Economy / Speculation / Re: What are your bitcoin May/June price analysis? on: June 07, 2023, 07:47:49 PM
So what are your bitcoin second quarter of 2023 market analyses, let discussed.
The year 2023 beginning has been with a positive start towards bitcoin with the slight bull rise we had and that exhumed the hopes of many investors that the year was/is going to be a favourable one for BTC eventually. Now we're at the last month of the first quarter of the year and BTC price is just fluctuating around 26k-28 and with this long time consolidation around those price range only two things are expected to take place.

Either a bull run or a bearing fall again but the odds for a striking bull run is much more expected by many to another drastic bear market fall again. Looking at how the year 2023 started I'll say the end of the year would bring about a more positive turn in the price of bitcoin hitting 40k above.
1814  Economy / Economics / Re: How do banks generate income? on: June 07, 2023, 01:42:32 PM
Any institution has money that can generate money in legal or illegal ways. Banks really generate money from loans. It is true that they have paid services, but without bank loans they will not continue to grow in this fast form or achieve coverage or provide cheap services like this. The government needs banks and commercial banks as it is the arteries that provide the economy with force, so dat has weakened the banking system whenever the state is very weak as the body where the arteries weaken.

* SMS alert charges
* Transfer charges
* Syphons dormant accounts or dead people accounts that are inactive with enough money in it.

Do banks in your country impose fees on SMS notifications? It is free in many countries and it is a service for the user to know how much his balance is not supposed to be imposed on fees.


Good a thing you're surprised at this information and you may not be the only one. It's so unthinkable that in some countries especially those of the third world countries every bank services are being paid for by the customers even to the extent of checking of account balance and receiving of money transaction both the receiver and the sender are charged fees. And this policies necessitates the question, what exactly is the profit gain of the bank account users except for pillaging of their little funds by the bank but by bit through incessant fees with no % of interest giving to even savings account holders at the end of the month's but it's rather the opposite over here.
1815  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Russia Becomes World’s Second-Largest Crypto Miner on: June 07, 2023, 01:23:30 PM
This a good development for Russia, with the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine one may think that they (Russia) ain't putting much energy in other areas of their country but just on the war, and hopefully when the world comes to an end of which it surely will and Russia may possibly overtake the USA in their position as number one in the world in crypto mining. And this competition could promote some level of decentralization in hash rate in the policies attached by the different countries.
1816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers understood the game on: June 06, 2023, 08:20:38 PM
How many times have you successfully invited some gamblers to online casino? What is your experience doing so? I know many will find this hard to believe but I kinda prefer bringing in gamblers than investors into crypto, why? They understood the risk already, there is no talk and talk over again, there is no dealing with someone fear and confidence..

I have successfully brought in four people into crypto gambling, and it was the easiest thing ever, they came asking if it's possible to use crypto for gambling and I said yes, but I told them that I am not ready to introduce any platform for anyone, but these guys then showed me there past gambles on a local website that only accept Fiat, that's when I got soft with them and I showed them the websites I use for gambling.

The thing is, they are small time winners and big time losers, I mean they lose more than winning, it's been two weeks and two of them tell me about their loss and gains, but they make it feel normal, to them it really is, not like the crypto investors today, always in hurry to double their money, some are even scared of investing in Bitcoin, which is the safest of them all.
Your point may be of essence but it's still an inevitable fact that you just can't compare or even pair gambling with investment. The two doesn't sit well together in the life of anyone, you just got to pick one.  People has always mistaken gambling to be like investment, investment takes so long to produce profit but most gambling doesn't even take an hour to produce profit or loss.

 Differently put, just because gamblers understand the feeling of loss doesn't mean they may all have the luxury of patience to wait so long in months even years to probably start seeing profit or a win, patience differentiate the gambler from crypto investor. They may withstand the loss but would they be able to withstand the waiting period of investment?

1817  Economy / Exchanges / Re: What could make an exchange to seize users assets on: June 06, 2023, 04:25:31 PM
Coinbase exchange was launched in 2012 right? Have there ever been any cases of users' assets being frozen and never released to them? I know someone living in the united states, she said that Coinbase seized her crypto in 2020 within that COVID-19 period and to date, the assets were never released back to her. I respect coinbase so much and I am curious why such a thing would happen.
These exchanges capitalizes on the user's acceptance of their terms and conditions which in a cloak of apparent truth takes away so much lawful rights on our assets in their custody from users to them. And they capitalize on any little default against these ToS which many users don't even take time to read before embarking on registration with these exchanges most those with kyc requirements. Most of them find it at ease to monetize users information to the knowledge of the authorities, and so in my opinion I don't think they really do deserve my kind of respect per say.
1818  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Are you still buying? on: June 06, 2023, 11:51:50 AM
This market is not favourable since 2021 till now like as of last two years that was a boom let's face the fact about, bitcoin price has drastically reduced the number of buyers overtime, even most of you that have it before aren't buying more bitcoin recently because of the waving price dilemma. Think of it this way, if you sleep by 8pm and wake up by 5am to discover that bitcoin rise up to $50k, will is you said is scam? Or will you regret for not buying again? Believe me it will shock many people how the bull will react. Keep buying if trust bitcoin
The crowd are always captivated by financial innovations that seems too charitable to be true or that offers jaw drop promising rewards only to end up being  scammed and then spend all their life generalizing. For those that have bitcoin over the years knows very well that bitcoin has gone beyond the process of scrutiny for if it's a scam project or not. So whatever the case might be about the price value of bitcoin today hitting high as $50k is something not new or surprising as the last ATH was above $50k.

If today the price is not looking favourable as anyone might have expected, taking advantage of the situation is by DCAing as a way to accumulate much higher profit when ever the bull run eventually takes place.
1819  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People are giving too much importance to exchanges on: June 06, 2023, 10:38:24 AM
6 months ago, my savings went down because of the FTX debacle. I've never used FTX, I've never been a customer of this company, but my savings are in BTC, and because of that failure, BTC's value went down, and so went my savings.

Today, bis repetita. I've never used Binance. I've never been a customer of this company, but because the SEC sues Binance, BTC is down, and so are my savings, so I have a message to all bitcoiners out there.

Exchanges and BTC are 2 different things. One exchange going down doesn't mean BTC must follow.
Binance will disappear? I don't give a damn.
It's quite clear that there's a big difference between bitcoin and exchanges but there's an interdependency that between these two different highlights and that interdependence can not be overlooked based on sentiment or emotions. Having a self custodial wallets rather than an exchange is wisdom in cryptocurrency but you can't do trades on self custodial wallets except through exchanges and that's where their quintessential comes into play. All we can do is avoid keeping your asset on exchanges except when you needed to trade afterwards you push back your coins into your self custodial wallet.

The diminishing of BTC will not cause an end to an exchange like binance neither will that of binance cause an extinction to BTC despite their interdependency for usage. It's all a matter of choice about which platform you want to use for your crypto business as their are numerous means of transactions and trades out their.
1820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which League Makes Sports Betting Easy to Win? on: June 05, 2023, 08:36:20 PM
Very true that the European Leagues are very hard to have good chances of winning in sports bets as the level of professionalism and competitiveness that plays in the league is 3x very high compared to those of the Asian leagues, South Americans etc. But that doesn't mean that it's as easy as it's being said about having it at ease in winning sports bets in these leagues except you're a lover of single game bets but you have to stake very high to boost the odd to be able to have a good potential winning amount. About the fixing of football matches I think this is not excluded to these leagues alone as the European Leagues are not exempted only that it seldom happens compared to those of the other leagues.
