Simulated games are fake and not worth my time learning to play. There is a thrill in analysis of a real game before placing bets and then seeing if the odds go in one's favour or not, simulated games take that thrill away and hinges everything on chances. Simulated games of an original is a lazy man's game.

Athletico Madrid have been so close to winning the title many times with their successful style of play which includes a very good defensive play  to secure their goal should they take the lead before an opponent. Manchester United may not qualify for the UCL next season, this defeat is going to eat deep.

Plenty economic sanctions have been imposed by the United States against Russia in a bid to suffocate them financially to an extent that they become incapable to fund the war they have started against Ukraine. I don't see these sanctions as completely effective as it so happens that I came across this article about Europe's dependence on the Russian oil, which is about 30%, Germany as well about 11%, the Netherlands (11%), and some Asian countries substantially depend on Russia for energy. So invariably Europe and other countries like Germany, Netherlands and others are still funding the Russian war indirectly even though the United States tries to boycott them.

Tottenham were in top form entering this match, very evident from the very fast play in the game, but I believe Manchester United would have won even without CR7, they have some other good players that can produce a fair performance. Heard many times that Ronaldo was the problem of the club, today he has shut the mouth of his haters. Ronaldo is a legend, will be very difficult for another person to beat this new record that he has set.

PSG has a good attack, but no good defense...infact very bad defence from what I saw. They were unable to soak up the pressure from Real Madrid and made many blunders that cost them the game. Good thing they lost now, because with that defence, I didn't see PSG having a chance to win this championship, it would be more hurtful later than it is now.

A big concern for me is the number of persons that will loose their lives for this cause, 17000 tanks, wow! Why not push for peace and an end to the conflict instead of the EU arming more persons in Ukraine to go to war. The war cannot go on for ever, so why not try to end it now rather than encouraging it to continue with 17000 anti tank weapons, This is an irregularity to me.

Stay away from crypto influencers, if you have no mind of your own.Most of them are out for selfish benefits and will never reflect your interest even thought they act as though they want to help. If you follow them blindly, be ready not to make enough gain, you may even loose everything you have suffered to gather. Just be careful with them, many have bitter experiences.

Bitcoin is the pioneer cryptocurrency, you can call it the king. It has a direct influence on other coins because most cryptocurrency take reference from it, that's why you can often hear Bitcoin and other altcoins (a term to refer to any coin not bitcoin) this may be one of the reasons why it's price affects other cryptocurrencies.

Exactly, do scammers really make video calls and expose their real identities or this is just another story that was not well fabricated. Maybe the face you saw on the call was another person's face, but I doubt that a scammer will use their face for a task like this and risk exposure to the authorities.

Most men like sex too much and I don't think they can live without it. I think they were created for sex sometimes, coupled with no monthly flow, or any other thing to stop them from sexing, they can sex anytime. Some women like sex as much as men do too but cannot always indulge because of our monthly flow, pregnancy and the ease of getting infected.

It is my sincere wish that I one day get to this rank as a milestone and even do better, I am here to wish you congratulations so others will say congratulations to me as well when it gets to my turn. Congratulations @Uchegod-21 on getting to this milestone, wishing you a higher rank soonest as well.

I think well of you that you are a champion firstly, not many will loose from something and still stay at it. It is really tempting to take loans to invest in coins especially when you think you are so certain of profit. However you must try as much not to begin investment in any uncertain venture like crypto with borrowed money, it is a bad mojo for it.

I'm a newbie like you, but I have received my first three merits from two old and experienced users - DdmrDdmr & COOLCRYPTOVATOR, Really excited and grateful at same time. I'd say I got these merits by expressing myself freely and the users that sent merits found the topic I started to be good I suppose. If you can replicate this "Start good topics" or maybe any other method that an experienced user shares, you will get merits as encouragement.

Salary is a fixed amount that may be increased occasionally by little fractions, but the increment will not be as exponential as when you devote time to those online ventures you've mentioned- Forex, stock and online businesses are more profitable in a long run compared to working for someone or a company.

February 14th is very much celebrated worldwide as valentine's day, a day to show love, not just to our loved ones but to everyone. I'm thinking of doing something memorable for my loved ones and maybe any other person, something bitcoin related. Suggestions please, how can I and us all make valentine's day a memorable day with bitcoins?

So in summary of this, you are saying that with more social media sites, younger people are no longer interested in learning through forums? How about those Interested in learning but don't know where to go and have no one to point them in the right direction? I don't mean to over flog the issue.

 I find this forum to be an interesting place to gather knowledge on bitcoin & other related/general topics. I can see that the forum has been existing for a long time and I wonder why I never heard about it up until recently. There are definitely many others who have never heard about this forum. Is it in the agenda of the forum not to gather too many users hence the reduced publicity?
