Is crypto market actually healthy? I can say for bitcoin, it is healthy and fair to everyone in every part of its protocol, the sender, the receiver, the node validator and even the miners, they are all healthy but I can’t say for some altcoins, they can be free markets but not healthy, the projects are not even fair because ventures have become the suckers of retailers by having a greed allocations because of small seed funding, that’s not healthy and fair in my opinion.

Competition is what improves an environment, it gives everyone the idea to be versatile, this gives us the idea for improvement and no to rely on a single products but is that applicable to crypto, I’m yet to see any project that has overcome bitcoin and have the trust of people like bitcoin, free market doesn’t really apply to crypto space as we see it.

Nobody is arguing that being influenced is bad, but when do you believe a fan should disregard that influence and follow their own judgment? Gambling is just one of the decisions that some people find difficult to make as a result of celebrity influence, as Drake has proved with the recently concluded EL Clasico. This wasn't the first bet Drake has placed and lost, and many of his fans have copied him in the hopes of making Gucci belts out of it. Who knows that it is a condition of agreements signed with stakedotcom to use Drake's name in marketing to sell a few tickets; in reality, Drake didn't lose any money. 

I beg to differ though, Bayern Munich has tough competitors, the readiness of other teams and how they respond to every match against Bayern is subjective to people, just the way people prefer to watch Premier League and Champions League than any other leagues and of course, players also influence the viewers and fans base, just imagine the number of players who became PSG fans because of Messi and Ronaldo when he moves back to Manchester United from Juventus.
The problem with most of the clubs is that they don't even know the potential of these players until they sell them, that's when players switch into beasts that they haven't displayed in their previous clubs, take a look at Lewandoski's moves from Bayern Munich to Barcelona, Haaland from Dortmund to Manchester City.

I am part of the unhappy fans if that should happen, you can't measure how good something is until it takes time and give you consistent result and that is what Bayern Munich represents. Over the past six or seven years, Union Berlin hardly makes it to the top 4, they either end in Europa or they never even make it all and the problem with most of the rest of the teams that see Bayern as a threat most of the time sign old players who have little or nothing to offer the club in the long run. As for Union Berlin enjoying the top for now, they should while it last because the rightful people are coming to take the place.
Dortmund are even more of a disappointment since they sold their Haaland for a piece of cake last season and now they are struggling and dangling to win common Union Berlin.  

If Manchester United wins at Tottenham, they will have three points and tight legs with Chelsea. However, they will still be behind because, based on the current situation, Chelsea has a goal difference of +5 while Manchester United has -2, meaning they need more goals to be far ahead of Chelsea. However, if they can win more games, it will be good for them. What I now fear most is that even if Manchester United defeats Tottenham tonight and earns a total of 19 points, their next game will be another London Derby, which, as you well know, is usually exciting and won't be simple for either team.

If you can be influenced by a celebrity, I think it will very easier for them to persuade you to do what they do, that is one of the effects of being influenced, you will want to do what they do in replicating their lifestyles, you want to wear the same brands even if are fake ones just to mimic them, you do them without seeing the bad side of it but in this case, losing bets.
Let me use Elon Musk as another example, Elon has achieved that state of wealth where he gets people to do what he wishes in a matter of minutes, just like 4 days ago, he sold out about $2 million worth of burnt hair perfume with a single tweet, the sells might increase as I am writing this and that is what the power of been influenced can do.

Benzema was the heart of Real Madrid throughout the entire season of 2022, the striker that remove PSG, Manchester United and Chelsea, they literally eliminate worship clubs and they did it in a manner that attracted attention in a marvellous way, having an aggregate in extra minutes when you have conceded 3 goals are one of the rare things that happen in football but Benzema help Real Madrid out in most of their challenging times and to top it up, he had the highest goal in during the season. When it is your time, you will shine and above all his last statement when he received the award made me happy, "I will retire in Madrid" 

When I saw yesterday's match between Osasuna and Villarreal, I thought it was a skipped match that had been rescheduled, but it turned out to be a round 9 match. I was wondering why the management would schedule a match on a big event day like Ballon D'or, they wouldn't think a second time if it had been premier teams, perhaps they don't anticipate much from both teams.

Villarreal has been a sleeping giant this season, perhaps they are trying to repeat what they did last season which I don't think is a good idea, they were among the underrated teams that were giving top teams nightmares at the end of the season even though they did not finish in the top four last season, they performed well at the end.

I think Liverpool isn't really happy with their past performances, it was all written on Klopp's face with the little drama that led him to get a red card during their match against Manchester City but people weren't saying anything about the quack Job ref did that day, it was poor in my opinion. However,  I have noticed the consistency of win or draw anytime Liverpool has a match in Anfield, they don't allow defeats in most of their matches.

1 draw and 1 loss and 3 Win from the last 5 matches is average and not a bad one I must confess, if Liverpool can have 3 win matches that can aggregate 9 points, they can easily make it to the top 4 under ideal conditions but would that be possible, West Ham, Nottingham and Leeds United shouldn't be that tough to conquer.

A celebrity is just a regular guy who is more famous than I am, why should I have believed his predictions because he said so? I am wagering with my own money, not any free money, it would be silly for me to do so. These are not the regular types of minor leagues or matches one will assume he may fix since the amount he bet is eye-catching, this is Premier League we are talking about and also one of the greatest Spanish Leagues(El Clasico), so anything you don't expect may happen.

Arsenal was a sure bet that they would win, if not for the technical problems they encountered, they would have defeated Leeds United more by a large margin of goals but why bet on El Clasico and think Barcelona is going to win when Real Madrid is also prepared and even the records show that Madrid has the highest winnings? Maybe the influence of a fan affected him and waste money.

I like Rudiger's dedication, I can't believe that despite having a scar on his face, he showed up as a backup in case of an emergency, which did occur. Benzema's substitution even helped to clear the way when Rodrigo was replaced and earned a penalty that made Madrid 3-1.


If there is one unique trait I admire about Ancelotti as a manager, it is that he doesn't substitute anyhow players because doing so would alter the frequency of the match. Not all substituted players understand how to stabilize their position after a change with the players on the field, frequently, they either fail to correct the mistake the coach directed them to correct or make it worse, which aggravates the starters even more. However, Xavi consistently switches out the bench players with pressure though Ferran Torres substituted did his job.

Greed in human increase exponentially as soon as money is involved or see one, gambling is luck and skill combined but sometimes you don't even apply the skill that much, somedays just shine at you and you win what you don't even expect and when that happens, if you don't control the greed in you, you may forget the principle that made you wager an initial bet and thus, continuously playing until you lose everything you have the whole day.
I have been there and not just slots alone, I have won an amount that will literally change my week if not weeks on a virtual game but greed didn't allow look at the good side of what I had won that time and a couple of bad advice from people, instead of walking away, I tried wagering the remaining in the hope of getting back some of the loses before leaving the booky shop, that was how I went home without any significant payout on me. It was a sad experience but that was in the past during horrible gambling days, more smarter now. 

I think Manchester City's confidence was overhyped that's why they failed to get victory in Anfield. The whole chat of Liverpool against Machester city post-match was all pointing to Liverpool losing but see what happened in the end, indeed football is full of a surprise, though my conscience was telling me no stake in this match because this is the kind of match that do rekt the rest of the stake games.

I like Liverpool's recent performance, but don't you think they still have some work to do? 8th place is still outside the top 4, and the teams above them aren't the kind to want to give up either. If Liverpool can keep up their recent performance over the next two weeks, they will rise sooner than expected.

You made it as if you are pointing fingers which is not supposed to be, of what good does Ronaldo substitution with Rashford bring to the match, it was still the way they started the match. Newcastle are good and I was impressed by their defense, the coach knew every Manchester united moves and was ready for them, they would rather draw with Manchester united than concede defeat in St.James park.

I expected Manchester United to beat every small club, they should learn from Manchester City system, use small clubs to gain points and fight hard when it comes to big team matches but Manchester United is doing the opposite.

It is El Classico to the fans but that doesn’t change the aim of the players, that was a fantastic goal from Benzema, this may not make him pass Lewandowski in highest goal scorer yet but I think Real Madrid will have a face to show that they are the best in Spain in the coming days of Balon D'or.

Whoever gave Real Madrid the idea to sign Vinicius see future of Spain, that guy seems to be the best winger they have currently, he play with caution, speed and always deliver in every of his assists.

You can still work your ass up but you fail as an entrepreneur! Do you know what kills any business faster than others, it is the government and policy. I have seen so many micro, small and medium enterprises get shut down due to government change in their policy, it is not favouring business people and they are also not helping them, I'm even surprised that there is a fund allocated to support these MSME and the rate at which they are all closing down seem to be unappealing.

Among the top business listed by OP, the Gomyway reasons mentioned may not be the main reason why it was shut down, the government could also be among them because a similar business like Gokada has been shut down in the country and even OPay that are into transportation, and what pains me the most is that they don't take quick decisions on their launch, it is always when it has become successful.

Bad times are temporary but go and check the basic prices of nesecities we used at home in the last 10 years. In fact, there are things we just can't do without even if we want to switch to alternatives, seasoning, for example, is a product you can't do without and its price has doubled, seeking for meat has a fish as an alternative but same fish has also doubled in price here, I doubt if there is even a single protein in the market that is still cheap, most options have all grown up in prices due to shifting in customers consumptions. As long as the circulation of fiat isn't reduced or make it deflationary, the price of goods and services will continue to shoot up.

I went to a boutique to buy some clothes 4 weeks ago and I was disappointed at how high clothes have become expensive, but looking at it though, I observe that the rate of importation is high here and they all depend on the dollar which is now high and scarce for a common business person and the banks are not helping them to provide.

Bitcoin being a legal tender increases our adoption without any limitation, while I think forcing it on people is not my thing, but legally adopting it gives a clear picture and a free room to buy and sell bitcoin without anyone or security operative abusing people because they don't know its legal status in the country.

I also think being legally adopted in a country send a message to people about the existence of bitcoin when they are in trouble with banks and other microfinance who facilitates transaction without satisfying their customers and it also makes people to live free without being seen as someone who is into fraud. There are countries, especially like mine that think that people who do bitcoin most often than not are into fraud, the society's view on bitcoin needs to be changed, and people need to be exposed to their ignorance.

You just said one of the underrated points that most people would have ignored from banks, I can't imagine not been giving my own privacy when it comes to having access to my own property, this is one thing banks break that bitcoin fixes and then Op is asking, not knowing that he is giving them the privacy that was offered him by bitcoin to the same bank, that's claptrap thinking.

A hardware wallet exists for a reason and banks also exist for another reason, a Trezor wallet or hardware wallet was never in its discussion during the design and structure to be given to anybody, it should remain a secret by the owner and with the owner itself, no middleman that's what bitcoin represents.

I will gladly oblige such status, not because I'm introverted or want to become one but because the narrative of bitcoin is going to change from being a decentralised value to a centralized cult and the belief of bitcoin will reduce including the soldiers surrounding and defending it over the years.
Aside from looking at the ways to protect the reputation of bitcoin, I wouldn't want to become the target and prone to the world, the governments will be hunting you, the CIA, the FBI, and the SEC and do you know why? They will all want to probe him for bringing freedom to the people and also want to have a share of that 1 million bitcoin in his custody.
