Atalanta are playing well and they are still very likely to find the 3rd goal before the game ends. Defensive concentration has been improved and this is what helps the most to maintain the lead. Leverkusen still have 20 minutes to make a comeback, but I can't necessarily believe they can do it if their opponent's defense is not bad in the final minutes.
Atalanta managed to score their 3rd goal as you said. And now I think Atalanta really can no longer be stopped and most likely with a score of 3-0 it is almost certain that Atalanta will be champions in this European League Final. This will also make Atalanta the first team to beat Leverkusen, who have never lost in all competitions this season. And it looks like Leverkusen will experience the same defeat as they experienced in their previous meeting 2 seasons ago when they faced Atalanta. I was a little disappointed because I had too high hopes for Leverkusen. But I admit that the game shown by Atalanta was indeed better in this match compared to Leverkusen, which is still having difficulty penetrating Atalanta's defense.

Congratulations to Ademola Lookman who managed to score a hat trick in this match. He scored the first goal in the 12th minute, then in the 26th minute and the last goal in the 75th minute. And now we can see Atalanta also almost scored again. This will really be a very valuable lesson for Xabi Alonso to make better preparations next season. Because next season Leverkusen will play in the UCL.
Such an incredible performance from the Atalanta side and Nigeria's Ademola Lookman was able to score the hat trick that melt the heart of the Leverkusen side after they almost ended the whole of the season in an unbeaten run but Atalanta was able to stop them and lift the Europa league trophy after 61 years, what a historic moment for the club because winning a team like Bayern Leverkusen that has remained unbeaten in all competitions since the season is not that easy so Atalanta did a great job tonight. Ademola Lookman will surely be given the man of the match award in this finals today because he utilized his scoring techniques very well and led his team to a victorious moment.

Atalanta have scored first on the 12th minutes with an easy finish from Lookman. It is now a fierce match as Atalanta have broken the deadlock and they are still pressuring to score the second goal. Atalanta started the match well with a n early goal and this is a good opportunity for them.

Leverkusen on the other hand has not be able to understand the game pattern but I can see that they are getting more confident currently, and I know that they will be able to equalize the goal. When it is Leverkusen playing, it is not yet over until the final whistle.

Atalanta 1-0 Leverkusen.
This surprised me a little. I didn't expect Atalanta to be able to score goals faster than I expected. And it doesn't seem like luck. Because I see Atalanta playing with more confidence. they take advantage of opportunities quickly and accurately. Leverkusen did try to break down Atalanta's defense but it was not successful. But Atalanta only managed to get a goal with a few touches and quick attacks. And now the score has even changed to 2-0. Honestly, this is not the final I expected. Leverkusen conceded too easily. It seems I had too high hopes for Leverkusen.

But well, as long as the match isn't over, Leverkusen still has a chance to equalize the score. Although now it has become more difficult because Atalanta has scored 2 goals. Xabi Alonso must have been surprised by what happened there. All of this was definitely beyond the young coach's expectations. Atalanta made a tight defense in this match and could build attacks quickly. But several attempts from Leverkusen's attacks also seemed to be starting to tear apart Atalanta's defense.
Some surprises seems to be happening at the Europa league finals between Atalanta and Bayern Leverkusen as Leverkusen is already losing by 2:0 in 26 minutes and the goals was scored by A. Lookman as he scored the two goals. No one saw this coming at all but Leverkusen will need to buckle up now before Atalanta makes it 3:0 before halftime, what a surprise in just the early minutes of this finals today but let's see how the match we go because Leverkusen is known for coming from behind to draw and even win matches so let's see if same thing will happen because the game is not going in their favour right now.

Most times when i hear how all these statements that people come into investment because they heard it's a fast way to become rich i wonder if they do not read about investment or know that investment is not a get rich quick scheme and also that risk is involved in it. Wait, i want to be sure here, why would anyone want to start an investment without knowing what the meaning of investment. Because anybody with the get rich scheme motive don't know the meaning of investment at all and should be prohibited from starting an investment especially Bitcoin investment which has high volatility.
We cannot really forbid people from investing on this market, as even if those people are making a grave mistake by putting their money at risk at an activity and with an asset they do not fully understand, at the end it is their money and their risk to take.


Of course, you have understood the concept of Bitcoin but not everyone believes that in decades to come Bitcoin would still be increasing in value. If you ask some investor, they will tell you that there is a possibility for Bitcoin to come to zero which i believe that is impossible. Instead, we might see Bitcoin to reach 1 million and above and through that way many will not be able to afford it anymore only the wealthy will be able to buy Bitcoin.
The chances of bitcoin being worth one million dollars on the future are higher than bitcoin being worth zero dollars, on that I agree, however you need to always keep in mind that anything can happen no matter how unlikely we believe it is, and while the risk of bitcoin being worth zero has diminished substantially since its early days, we cannot really dismiss this possibly as being completely impossible.

Yes, I also buy the same sentiment as you bro,  as it stands now, due to the popularity and growth Bitcoin has made over the years, it's more likely for Bitcoin value to rise up to a million dollars in the future than Bitcoin going to zero, that's why it's one of the most  sorted after asset right now, I  know that due to some factors, we might have our own doubt if we are a newbie investors, but we that has gained more knowledge and insight of Bitcoin knows how valuable it's going to be in the nearest future, because I am very much confident that it limited supply is another major factor that can spur the value of Bitcoin to an amount we never expected.

So in essence of all this is that if as a Bitcoin investor that really want to be successful in your investment, it's very much advisable to be a long term holder, so that you can reap the full dividend of your Bitcoin investment, because Bitcoin is actually going up to the moon, the question here is how long can you hold?

You make a lot of sense mate because the reasons why most people are afraid of investing in Bitcoin is because they still feel that Bitcoin will crash or drop to the lowest someday but anyone who takes time to study about Bitcoin will know that even the approval of Bitcoin ETFs can even make you be more confident that the future of Bitcoin is heading towards possibility of full adoption so Bitcoin has grown past the level of being affected by the government or any organization and if you look at the price movement of Bitcoin since October last year till now it has recorded significant growth even when the price looks like dipping too much it still returns and even gains more strength and increases just like the experience it had about a couple of days ago when it moved from about $61k to $71k so far as you have a long term investment target you can reach the peak of your hodling one day.

Regarding your question on how long can one hold, for me I have self employed jobs I am doing now so I don't see anything that will make me to tamper with my holdings in the next 5 years so I can hold for 5 to 12 years or even more than that so if I will sell part of my Bitcoin it will be when I have accumulated as many Bitcoin as I want and it will also depend the price of Bitcoin at that time maybe when the price reaches between $200k to $300k then I can decide to sell but not all my Bitcoin.

Nothing good comes easily and all these hard wallets and protection of seed phrases are just to grant your assets full security and privacy so it shouldn't be exhausting. We need to understand that cryptocurrency needs a lot of patience but just like he said there are times when everything seems tiring though it's even more relaxing for anyone who focuses in making investments instead of trading because the trading aspects of cryptos is hell because staying glued to how the market is going and using different signals to know the actual time to trade is not easy but when you devote more time studying about cryptocurrency everything will look so easier for you the only thing I don't like about trading is that it consumes a lot of time.

Pep Guardiola has been awarded as the premier league manager of the season after he was nominated alongside Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta, Unai Emery, Andoni Iraola and Jurgen Klopp. Pep Guardiola is one manager I like so much because he is always full of energy and makes sure he wins a trophy for his club and his coaching skills is also admirable so he deserves the award after fighting a good fight and won at last. Congratulations to him on his well deserved award at least it isn't easy to win the premier league trophy 4 consecutive times so he really dida great job for Manchester City.

27  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why use decentralized bitcoin in a centralized way? on: May 21, 2024, 09:41:28 PM

In the early days of Bitcoin, I think some users were really up to keep Bitcoin as decentralized as possible. They seems to be outnumbered already and some are just shying away because users are becoming used to the centralization.

Maybe because the idea that Bitcoin will not grow with out the regulation of the government so we gradually get used to KYC already, we are now INSTITUTIONALIZED.  Grin
Seriously Bitcoin is moving away from it's purpose of invention because a lot of people now uses centralized exchanges instead of decentralized and non custodial wallets but I think people are afraid of the government that is why they still use centralized exchanges and they also feels that KYC makes the system more transparent since every users real data are stored in there but I believe with time people will start to know the need for a more decentralized system.

Arsenal have failed to win the league for the second time, ending second position and City taking the glorious moment. What's stopping Arsenal from accomplishing their targets? The main cause was winning the EPL title this season but slimly missed out on the title to Manchester City who have always been favorite from day one. Mikel Arteta expresses his dissapointment but nothing to bother more about other than putting in the work for next season, we know it's not going to be an easy run up for elite clubs.
Arsenal's failure to win the premier league for two seasons they had the opportunity is very worrisome because Arsenal have some young talented players that can bring the trophy home for them but they will start well and at the end they lose out to same Manchester city. Mikel Arteta have also been a nice coach for the club but the only thing they are not doing well is just about giving up when they need to win and get clear advantage of winning the title. Imagine depending on other teams for their title hopes this season is such a shame. Normally they may not find next season easy for them again because some other clubs will arise just like Aston Villa did this season.
29  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Scam ads on Bitget on: May 21, 2024, 07:59:13 PM
the journey so far of the naira/USDT P2P ban by crypto exchange.

From the Binance P2P ban, many Nigerians pushed themselves to the Kucoin P2P trade, Kucoin later banned their P2P trade for Nigerians. Now, we are faced with the option of using Bybit or Bitget for our P2P trades, to encounter another level of scams from ads we don't know of "how they operate".
Already I knew that scams like this will arise after the government delisted the naira from performing p2p on some reputable exchanges like binance and even before kucoin suspended their naira p2p operations in their exchange there use to be similar scam where a merchant will broadcast a price rate but when about to confirm the transaction it automatically changes and if you are too fast you will just end up falling victim so we just need to be careful on this exchanges we are moving to now because a lot of them are filled with scammers.

Actually, there's no easy ways to change a person especially when they're binded with addiction. However, if we felt a lot of failures because of that wrong decisions we made I guess it's our best chance to overcome certain habits instead of experiencing the same situation. Commiting the same mistakes, knowing that it caused you several circumstances no one will be blame but ourselves.
One wrong impression people that gambles or become addicted to gambling have is that they feel that after several attempts they can win even when they are aware of the consequences of being too addicted to gambling but yet they pay deaf ears. Someone who wants to progress in life should make everything possible not to enter into repeating same mistakes they made again. Borrowing money to play gamble is bad because if it doesn't work that means you will find it difficult to pay back the money you borrowed because all your hope was that it will work according to your plan so in that case it will disturb one's mental health.
31  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is procreation really necessary? on: May 21, 2024, 06:46:29 PM
Procreation is necessary for the human race to continue. Without people having children we would eventually cease to exist.
Does it means that the world will not come to an end someday and people will no longer give birth anymore? Because if we keep thinking about continuation of human race that means we are also saying that the world will be without end.

Don't forget that any child you adopt from the society will surely remember his parents when they grow old, and they will value their parents than you that adopted them because blood is tinker than water, which you cannot convince them that you are their father or mother.

Yes it is natural for a child to grow up and want to know who their real parents are more especially the ones that have little knowledge about themselves before they were adopted but there is nothing wrong in a child identifying with their Real parents after you must have taken care of them and even if you have children and you are financially capable you can still adopt other children and take care of them. But there is still need to control birth in our society so that we don't end up having too many vulnerable children.
32  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How has big wins and jackpot stories affected your gambling habit? on: May 21, 2024, 05:45:29 PM
Jackpot is one of the reason why most gamblers are into gambling in this current time, because from all that is happening, the hope of winning a life changing prize from your games session is what build the motivations in most of us, but although this kind of mindset can also have a significant bad effect on the gambler himself if his expectations never comes to past.


So for that, it is better to only gamble with the mindset that you may likely never going to hit a jackpot and taking the time to just cashing fun regardless of what the outcome of your bets may result to.
Motivation or influence will always be there for other gamblers if someone gets a very large jackpot. We should focus on controlling ourselves in our own game, don't play too aggressively to chase something. To get something big is not easy, it takes a lot of time, it's best if we get or win any amount and it's not too big, we should enjoy what we get. In my opinion, this step is quite wise and responsible in controlling everything compared to us continuing to play hoping to get something much bigger.

Most of the time, jackpot and huge winnings drag other people to join gambling because almost every one wish to win big as well but they forget to know that gambling is about luck because i have seen a lot of people in my streets back then developed interest in gambling just because someone that was living in the neighborhood won a huge jackpot and used the money to travel abroad  that was how everyone in the street started playing gambling with the mindset they will win jackpot but some of them even got broke due to addiction and they didn't succeed so you don't depend on what works for others to work for you and gambling is pure luck.
Although sometimes it is also good to chase jackpot or bigger wins but we shouldn't allow it to get to our head such that we will find ourselves in vulnerable situations due to lack of knowledge on how to go about gambling.
33  Economy / Economics / Re: Disregard false religious teachings and invest for the future. on: May 21, 2024, 04:23:10 PM

Religious leaders are a set of people that some individuals can easily begin to follow blindly. But yet again, religious leaders do not know everything and especially do not have the information concerning proper investment. This is why it's always good to not just take the words of anyone without verifying for yourself; even if that person is a religious leader, you have to find the facts in what they are saying.

Accept that not all religious leaders are genuine, and you will be able to preserve some common sense when dealing with them.
It just amazes me on how some religious leaders are able to convince their congregation about investment and most of the followers will foolishly follow and either get scammed or duped in the process and after they will be praying for those scammers to die when it was their spiritual leader that mislead them in the first place. Just recently it got to my knowledge that some churches now teaches their followers how to trade online so what if they run into losses how can they be able to deal with that, very bad some religious leaders have left the gospel and misleading their followers all in the name of investment. Most followers also get fooled all in the name of trying to obey their spiritual leaders and most religious leaders have taken as an avenue to scam people since majority of their followers hacken to what they are being told.

Are you increasing your bitcoin investments because of today halving ? For how long do you plan to hold this new investment from here on.

I am but definitely not as much as I'd like to or should. The price seems so high right now but long term I don't see this price point being considered high. Long term I see this price point considered a very low price to what we will see in the future. Maybe this is just wishful thinking but I truly think that we can't be far off from 500k and then 1 million and after that the sky is the limit!
You may see it as wishful thinking but it does come to reality I mean with how Bitcoin price movement goes we all might wake up one day and see the price hit beyond our imagination and with the high volatility of Bitcoin,  today it dips tomorrow it increases, next it stagnates and before you know the price jumps. We may not really be accumulating more at this time since the price looks crazy but however any price it's a buying time so far as you have long term targets. So we keep accumulating despite the price at the time of buying.

With how modern technology most especially the use of AI how modified human activities such that we cannot differentiate between what is real human and what is being done by an AI so it is just advisable to make sure that if you want a serious discussion with anyone online then after going through some agreements you need to get physical with such person that is the only wly to avoid being scammed if not am afraid that modern technology might end human existence simply because they can almost do everything human does.

I understand what you are saying and this dependency on a successful family member have render the brothers and others who depends on him because when eventually anything happens to the man those depending on him suffers the most that is why instead of accepting gifts and money from someone who is successful it is better to request for a job or a skill acquisition from such person instead of depending on them for financial help all the time. A lot of family members become so lazy when one of their brothers is wealthy or has traveled abroad which is very bad.

On a more serious note the awkward behaviour of some children who are not yet up to adult age to be exposed to some adult contents cannot be blamed on technology, no matter how bad technology may become it cannot be measured with the good it has brought to human and their is no way children will not be exposed to modern technology because even if they don't have access to it at home how about in schools and with their peer groups and you can't also blame the parents because some parents are really trying for their children to get the best home training but at last they still choose to go about things their own way and due to how disciplined some parents take on their children instead of changing their behaviours they prefer running away from home and doing things to their pleasure so we are just in a world where everyone both parents and their children act and behave how they like.
39  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: May 19, 2024, 09:54:22 AM
Tomorrow the season is officially ending. We are going to watch a title competition one last time this season. Manchester City are highly expected to finish this and win another title. I'm expecting the same. If West Ham also had some goal to achieve now then the match would look more interesting to me. But I don't think so now. West Ham are one of the worst defense teams this season. I don't think they can hold off Manchester City at Etihad.

Same West ham that Arsenal destroyed at their home ground, London stadium in February? It's the same one and they'd have a very difficult job tomorrow at the Etihad stadium to keep Man city from the trophy. However, I do think that we might have some final day drama. Guardiola is confident that his team will triumph even if West ham tries to pull an "Aston Villa" (re: 2022) on them. If that happens, Arsenal just needs to win and get the trophy for themselves. But it's a very long, long, long shot. Fingers crossed - few hours to go.
You see forget that Arsenal won Westham how about when Westham won Arsenal in their first meeting this season? I trust Pep Guardiola on the match today no time for nonsense because Manchester city is not like Arsenal that have opportunities to win the title for two seasons now and they always end up giving up the trophy to Manchester city so there is no contemplation on today's game at all and I think that after this season Arsenal will learn the hard way so that they don't rely on another team for them to win the league. Surely some end of the season drama will happen but definitely not in the match between Manchester City and Westham.

Assets, we should scatter our schedules and invest in developed sections and not settled for some random dormant projects in the system. If there's any best thing to do in, the time is now because time waits for nobody we ought to live our best life's in the present days of our existence because one have zero clue of the activities that will happen next. We just have to remain patient and consistent in the space, I know it's not easy but some trials are worth taking.
You are very correct mate because some people will just venture into so many things with the idea that investing in different areas will create an easy way for them but before you know it everything just crash due to improper management when they can invest on few assets and business that can yield good proceeds at the end of the day and they take care of them adequately. Living our life to the fullest in good but we should not also live as though there is no future so as we are living for today let us also make plans for a better living tomorrow. Patience is a pathway to wisdom because when we are patient and consistent wisdom on how to explore life's objectives follow up.
