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?

The frustration that ultimately makes you decide to borrow money is that no one forbids it, but if the money obtained from the loan is used for gambling, I don't think that's appropriate. After all, gambling places do not provide a guarantee of always making a profit. It is better to use the capital obtained from the loan to work on opening a small business that might provide a profit and help the economy improve.

That is the importance of controlling your emotions well and never taking rash actions. Remain calm and carefully consider the risks that will come in the future.

It's no longer inappropriate, because in my opinion borrowing money and using it for gambling is a very wrong and bad action. It's true that with those who are at the point of frustration, of course they might do this. The feeling of wanting to win continues to encourage them to gamble even though they no longer have money to bet, but the feeling of wanting to win encourages them to do various things in order to make money and return to gambling and of course those who take out loans to gamble are people who are in point of frustration. Maybe they think they can't turn back because they have gone too far so they just want to keep betting and hope that luck will happen that will give them a big win.

It's true, if we take out a loan, it's best to use it for something more useful, such as starting a small business or something else, because if it's used for gambling, it's very likely that it will only end in defeat, which will result in them losing their money, and there won't be any. guarantee to be able to make a profit even using borrowed money or with a high betting amount. We should also be able to control our emotions by not taking actions that pose big risks or being reckless in our actions. Of course, with our emotional state, we can be careless in deciding what action to take.

You have actually said a lot, and I commend you for hitting the nail on the head, but their is a few things I just want to add to it, first of all, one of the major reason most people engage in such activities, such as borrowing money just to gamble is that, they gambles with and amount they can't afford to lose and by doing so, they got into a very difficult situation whereby they just can't let go, they feels the needs that they must win back their losses, and due to their lack of funds, they went and borrowed money to gamble, not knowing that it will definitely ends in failure, because in gambling, once you are desperate, you will start making wrong decisions that is definitely going to cost you more, so it's very wrong to even think of borrowing money, just to gamble.

Lastly, it's very much unlikely that someone will borrow money to gamble, if he is actually gambling for fun, it's only those that sees gambling as a means of making money that can do such, and I suggest that it's a move that should be greatly discouraged, because it's not going to ends well.
24  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 21, 2024, 07:09:24 AM
The decision to scouting the new players will be on the next head coach. klopp has also ordered liverpool fans to chants arne slot during his farewell speech. I can't fully trust arne slot because he is not having a good history in the managing the club.
Liverpool is probably gambling by signing arne slot from feyenoord. Im doubting liverpool's capability to compete in the upcoming season. I totally aware about who arne slot is.

Never put a big hope to him. You will be disappointed then.
TBH, actually I also don't agree if Liverpool brought in Arne Slot as the new coach to replace Klopp and according to the history of Arne Slot journey, he has not been able to give confidence to Liverpool fans who already know that Arne Slot experience is not enough to be able to help Liverpool to reach their level again. higher in the following season.
however, we have to be aware and understand that Liverpool is one of the popular EPL teams that has a very good reputation and it certainly won't be possible to bring in a coach quickly without considering the future of the team and from my way of thinking, Arne Slot is believed to be able to bring change to Liverpool in the future, Liverpool will certainly be ready to accept all the risks that will occur and have various alternatives to fix everything if something bad happens.

no one will have hope for the new coaching candidate, but most of them choose to wait for Liverpool decision and if they force Arne Slot to be brought in, we must give him the opportunity to make a change or at least half the season Liverpool must provide consistent performances.
as fans of the EPL team we have to be more patient and wait for the information that Liverpool will say later and we also have to be more patient to see what will happen and from what I think it looks like Liverpool will not really bring in Arne Slot.


I also cannot say that I can trust the new coach that Liverpool is bringing in 100%. Because I have not seen him enough to say how he is going to do. It is great to see that almost every personnel of the Liverpool club is actually trying to encourage people to encourage the coach and make him feel at home. But if he is unable to bring in good results I do not think people are actually going to care about what other people say. Eventually, there will be a lot of tension between the coach and also players as well as the fans. But that doesn’t mean whatever they are doing is actually wrong. I believe this is the right approach to actually welcome the new coach.

However, I believe he will have to bring in good results from the very start. Another important thing is that he will have to consistently bring in good results. Otherwise, people are definitely going to question this decision made by Liverpool.

I have a good feeling that this Liverpool new coach will deliver and perform well in Anfield. The fans already love him and with the way Klopp sang his name yesterday, I think the man already has the floor and he has no excuse. Jurgen Klopp made sure that he has to win the heart of the fans to the side of the new manager. If you read through Arne slot history, you will understand that the man has eyes for winning trophies.  The management of Liverpool are going to give him money to back him on the transfer market so he can get his quality players that will deliver his tactics.

I really do commend the work the Liverpool scouting team are doing actually, if you pay close attention to the past incoming transfer of players and manager alike that has came into the club, they may or  might not be the popular choice everyone expected, but it has been working out for them no doubt, and I really do believe that Arne slot will do definitely do fine as the manager of Liverpool football club.

And another thing that i think that would be logical, that the management is going to do, would be supporting him in this coming summer transfer window, because I believe that their are some position that Liverpool are really lacking behind in terms of quality and back up, so supporting him to improve the team is the ideal thing the board needs to do, if they want them to be as competitive as they were when klopp was the manager of the club.
25  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does trading belongs to everyone? on: May 21, 2024, 06:32:08 AM
Have read most people topic and comment especially the newbies and have noticed that they are always interested in trading more than holding, and of a true trading gives more profits from my own understanding that is why everyone wants to venture into trading. But have we also considered or remember that most of the compliant here is about trading scam or exchange scam. Since is as a cause of trying to fund their account to trade or either trying to withdraw funds from the exchange.

We can make it this way, look for a reliable coin, bitcoin or any other altcoin buy and hold. You can look out for the best wallet where to store your funds without any news about misplacing your seed phrase or private keys. It's not necessarily mean you must buy from exchange, get your self a good p2p provider I believe there are trusted p2p service providers whom you can send them fiat or any other coin in replacement of the coin you wants to hold, than involving yourself to an exchange for trade or buy coin at least to avoid us having different version of storyline.

If you think is not possible to deal with people on p2p trade, look out for those at your locality who is trusted and reliable then you can send your fiat and they s/he sends you the coin (must be reputable p2p trader), if the amount which you are trading is much why not half it and go by 20 percent of the total amount you want to trade, after which is confirmed you can then continue with another 20 percent by so doing you ends up accumulating enough volume of any coin you want to hold for long than as a newbie trader you get yourself into exchange or broker and got scammed.

Most times at the process of learning your trading you make money by holding and after you may have gain your bases then you can fund your account to continue your trading than trying to be in haste to make profits from trading, since everyone is on the move about trading you decided to follow that part with or without knowing trading is not for everyone. You have to discover your place in crypto-space if you noticed you aren't making progress in trading then divert to investment and, you must know the types of coin you will invest.

If this post doesn't suits here place call my notice to move it to another place you suggest that is more better.

Op you have really spoken well, most newbies that just came into the crypto industry has failed to understand that  it would be best that they trade only spot for the time being, till they are more knowledgeable and more skill in fundamental and technical analysis before they venture into futures trading, because to me, it's craziness for a newbie to start trading  futures when he knows little or nothing on how to navigate his or her way in the market.

And this is one of the main reason why most people fail in trading, and when that is done, they will start saying that trading is a scam or  they will say it's gambling which I believe 100% that it's not, so in essence is that, it's very important that before we engage in trading, we should have attained knowledge first and some other disciplinary measures that is needed to be successful in trading.

If bitcoin goes to $120k and I sell 2 whole bitcoins ($240k), how much tax will the government charge me if I live in Florida and only earn $50k a year?  Angry


Actually op, it's quite funny that the title of this thread is totally different from what was written down and besides you would have thrown more light on what you were trying to say, so that you can get your desired response and suggestions you might be looking for.

And talking about the title of the thread, it's actually not a bad idea, because real estate is one of those lucrative Business or investment that can stand shoulder to shoulder with any business or investment in this whole wide world, because it's also an asset that appreciate in value overtime, just as Bitcoin is.

And as for the tax that will you will have to pay in Florida, to be frank with you, am not a citizen there, I wouldn't be in the best position to answer that, I believe that your fellow Americans will be in the best position to answer that.
27  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: May 20, 2024, 04:58:22 PM

Well, if you think that buying at a dip is trading, then I suggest you get involved properly in trading for a while and come back to investment after, so that you can be able to differentiate between trading and investment by buying Bitcoin during the dip or making use of DCA strategies.


Well I don't know the quite you're replying  too but let me recap my statement for better understanding...
Buying the dip is not related to trading at all because  there could be other dip in markets under trading  and normally a trader is meant to sell to make profit when there're dip in markets...
However, coming to the world of BTC  buying the DIP is a good strategy   for buying more BTC with lesser funds although this same strategy could be used by traders too  since btc has always been in an uptrend  buying a dip with strong capital could be a choice but most trader wouldn't want to risk that...
What I'm  I trying  to prove Huh
Quote
For me I see buying only when the market is DIP as trading.
This statement is wrong IMO .... but the strategy is not a suitable strategy for beginners when we  emphasize  on the word ONLY.

Well, from the beginning of your first comments, I understood the whole thing that you were saying, and I understand your points clearly. If a trader is buying at the dip, he's hoping to sell at a high price because everyone into Bitcoin (trading or not) wants to make a profit. In Bitcoin trading, everyone who's doing it must always keep their eyes on the market to make sure what is happening so that they will be able to know if they will sell or not. Buying a dip is another method of investing in Bitcoin and both traders and investors can use that method to buy Bitcoin. Traders are not different from short-term investors because those people can not hold for a long term.
The difference with the DCA method of buying dips is because, with DCA, you can buy at every given opportunity (whether Bitcoin is high or not), ones you have the money. But as you are using the DCAing strategy to invest in Bitcoin, then you eventually meet Bitcoin at dip time you should be able to grab that opportunity and buy as much as you can.

A trader can start trading during the dip but won't have the patience to hold the Bitcoin he bought because he's not an investor of Bitcoin but a trader. I advise anyone that's ready to make an investment in Bitcoin to use the DCAing strategy, because regardless of the price of Bitcoin, one can still invest any amount they want and can achieve what they want if they always DCA as planned from their portfolio (just like I have said earlier). When you are buying Bitcoin at the dip, you won't be given the opportunity to buy it always because, as Bitcoin's price is fluctuating, sometimes it goes up, and sometimes it comes down, but using the DCAing strategy allows you to buy even when Bitcoin is up or down in price.

I don't actually think it's proper to be mentioning trading in this thread, because I believe that this thread is meant for Bitcoin investment only, so I suggest you take your trading discussion to the right place.

And as for Bitcoin investment and accumulating process, I believe that the DCA accumulating strategy is the best among them all, because you will buy in your own convenient, either weekly, monthly, and what makes it very special is that you can also buy the deepest part of the deep, which the person relying on lump sum method might miss out due to the fact that he thought the price of Bitcoin will go deeper, and as long as you are a long term holder, which have accumulated a very good stash of Bitcoin, you are definitely going to be successful in your investment.
28  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: May 20, 2024, 08:44:31 AM
hiding gambling is based on your own understanding within your environment so many people who hide and the Gamble they do that based on did not like people to notice that yes there are a gambler I have not seen anything wrong keeping gambling in secret on your own so I basically known gambling is all about what you planned for and what you want to achieve
Keeping gambling a secret from other people is a very natural thing even though gambling site owners actually really want more people to gamble so that their gambling place can be known by many people. Because sometimes the people we keep secrets from are also gamblers, even though maybe they don't gamble in the same place as we have been doing all this time. But still, if there is someone who doesn't want himself to be known as a gambler, then he starts to create walls between other people about this, even though for me this is a normal thing and doesn't need to be done as long as the environment we live in is still safe enough.

Gamblers who secretly engage into gambling are not making any other mistake than isolating their gambling habit. Which idea, is not good and could affect the player in future. This is necessary, because gambling addiction doesn't give a warning before it affects a player. However, the need to stay hidden when gambling can be to help other non gamblers to stay away from gambling. They are some people who would know about our gambling habit and will join immediately. Hence, it's crucial to play where nobody will see us only when we have such purpose of safeguarding unqualified people like kids from engaging into gambling. It's also good for a player to share his gambling habit with his friends, expecially fellow gamblers. Who can relay any trouble that arises in future to the gambler's family.

As for me, I really do understand why most people hide their gambling activities, because in some localities, gambling activities is being frown at, and when you are seen gambling, you will be seen as an irresponsible person that will eventually be made wretched by your gambling activities one day.

Like in my own locality, if you go into any of the local betting shop, almost all the people engaging in serious football betting activities are poor people's, because they See's it as a means of income, and the more they put in more effort, the more they are being wreck financially by it, and to tell you the truth, you will hardly see any rich person gambling with the intention of making money, because almost all rich people knows that it's not the best way of making money, they only do it for fun, it's mostly the poor people that sees gambling as a means of making money, so people most hide their gambling activities, so that they wouldn't lose respect, from people that respected them so much, because gambling is tag as irresponsible activities.

Finally, Chelsea has confirmed that the club has a verbal agreement with Palmeiras to purchase Willian from there but it's only waiting for the palmeiras president to sign the agreement. I believe his price is too high, especially considering that Chelsea did not only pay 40 million for him but it's even more than it. It's 40 million plus 25 million add-ons is very big considering he is still young talent but el dear god is even expensive than him. Chelsea may see him as a potential player.
The competition for a spot on the main squad is becoming increasingly fierce caused by medueke is gonna have someone who will be competing with him. It appears that buying Willian is intended to add another player capable of playing as a right winger since chelsea lack of good players in the right wing position. We know how Chelsea struggled to fill the right winger position when one of their players was injured and this is the decision taken by the clb to buy a new player from palmeiras.
Pochettino adds him as a secondary player to back up Medueke. His quality in the EPL remains questionable, but we will only see him join Chelsea next year. It takes very long for chelsea just to landed him.

Chelsea has taken the right step by bringing Estevao to Stamford Bridge and this could be a new strength for Chelsea in navigating next season. Of course, all teams will shop for players in the summer and therefore Chelsea must also do the same to continue to update the depth of their squad.

Estevao is a young talent from Brazil who is on the rise and certainly at a very young age could be a long-term investment that the Blues can implement in the next few seasons. Estevao's teammate, Endrick at Palmeiras, will also be exploring his European football career with Real Madrid this season so he doesn't want to be left behind by his teammates on the Brazilian team. Recently, Brazilian talent has become a trend and I think these costs are still considered reasonable and as long as they can have a big impact, I think there is no problem at all.

Guess this is a very good decision taken by Chelsea. I have no doubt about that.
The problem is Chelsea definitely has to get straight off the coach that they have right now.
Otherwise, I don’t think they are going to be long-term. And even though I think getting young players in the squad is definitely a step towards the right direction, at the end of the day, the players are going to be managed by the coach.

if the coach is not technically good enough, it is going to eventually be a big problem for the team. I mean I think it is already a big problem. But it seems like the Chelsea authority actually thinks otherwise. With the squad that they have, they should be able to perform better. However, there is another thing which needs to be taken into consideration. They were able to get good results towards the end of the season. So maybe there is a chance that they will still keep the current coach for another season.


Pochettino was a terrible decision maker. Especially when it comes to rotating his squad after some of his players were injured and he was often putting the players to play at non their actual position. This could help him a lot in finding a backup when he doesn't have a good player who can play right wing due to an injury and this is also helping him to get an alternative solution for this.

I've seen Pochettino rotate some non-wingers to play there as a backup on several occasions.


I totally agree with this statement that is made bold here, Mauricio pochettino is actually terrible in his decision making, like making substitutions and resting of players, during the cause of the season we have seen how his decisions cost the team dearly and I started wondering if he actually knows what he is doing, because if it's left for me, I don't think he is up to the standard of Chelsea, that's why I still feels like he should be replaced with someone more competent.

And as for the young kid, I really don't think it's what Chelsea football club needs right now, the team is lacking experience massively, and the most experience person in Thiago Silva is leaving the club this summer, instead of them to look for more experienced players to fill in the gaps in the team, they are acquiring more young lads that wouldn't make an immediate impact on the team, in essence is that, the decision makers at Chelsea should be doing better than this.

The competition between Arsenal and Manchester City has now finished and in the last 38 week Manchester City has successfully beaten West Ham with a score of 3-1 and Arsenal has also succeeded in beating Everton with a score of 2-1.

and I personally want to congratulate Manchester City for achieving 4 wins in a row and of course now Arteta's troops have to swallow the bitter pill again because they failed to become champions this season, but of course Arsenal this season performed better and of course in the coming season they will still there is an opportunity for Arsenal to fight for the EPL title. Now Pep has succeeded in making Manchester City champions again and it seems we also deserve to congratulate Pep who has succeeded in making Manchester City a successful team. but of course in the coming season all teams will definitely make good strategies and there will always be player transfers, of course in this case we will not know the performance of the EPL teams in the coming season.

Source: https: www.bola.net/amp/inggris/fantastis-man-city-juara-4-kali-beruntun-rekor-baru-dalam-sejarah-liga-inggris-ff6aac.html
Manchester City made good use of the match against West Ham and won which ultimately made Manchester City champions this season. This is a very good achievement in the Premier League because Manchester City managed to get 4 wins in a row. Hopefully next season's Premier League will start soon and Manchester City can win again.

Are you actually serious? You want Manchester city to win it again? No! Because if that's happened, The English premier league will definitely be term the farmers league, because a single team can't dominate like this and it wouldn't be term as such, but a really big congratulations to Manchester city for lifting this year premier league title, even when all odds were against them during the cause of the season, but arsenal and Liverpool let them back into the mix, which they used in good effect.

Lastly, the Time I was convinced that Manchester city was going to win the league was when arsenal loses to Aston villa, and the destiny of the title race got into the hands of Manchester city, that's when I knew that it's over, because I knew that Manchester city has the capacity to win all the remaining fixture.

For here we don already know why e good to invest in bitcon already but bcos of economy matter, we nor fit invest in bitcon as we want but thank God Airdrop and bounties don dey pay well again. We don see people wey dey cash out welll from them well well especially from the latest one wey be Not  coin, people cash out well from m and other recent one like Ice and the others.

My advice be say make we nor dull put for Airdrop matter, do m wen the money come buy bitcon, nor go dey HODL Airdrop coins bcos most times the developers na to make money na concern them and so once the coin don dey listed they go sell wey them still cash out. Just take your cash out tel invest in bitcon so that go fit quickly reach your accumilation goal.

Also remember the risk wey dey Airdrop, use separate wallet for Airdrop, observe well before you do anyone bcos some na waste of time.
My brother you don really talk well, you no say this airdrop matter, e don tey wey most people don dy do am, but most people never even see shishi inside, person like myself, base on how I don run the matter in the past, I just feel say I no get luck inside, so I just stop am, but this Notcoin own, e surprise even me self, even people wey say crypto na scam, na Dem press phone pass now, base on say them they hustle for airdrop, so my advice be say, as we dy run am, anyone wey involved putting ur hard earned money inside, just avoid am, because most of them na scam.

And concerning the wallet wey you wan use, abeg, no ever link wallet wey ur funds dy inside with any airdrop sight, because most of them na scammers sight, and once you make that kind mistake, Dem go just wipe ur wallet clean, so make we think and act wisely.

I admire young signings that will serve as backup replacement for the key players. Chelsea will always shined themselves towards their opponents, this is the moment I'm finally acquainted with the club's performance and the budget mapped by Todd Boehly and Mauricio Pochettino. Chelsea not in regular competition this season because they struggle from the very early beginning of the English Premier League campaign but this will always portrays the fact that winning is consistent and straight for clubs that picked themselves up and persuade for crucial winnings. Chelsea in pursuit for young talents is impressive but this should also mean that they should also relent from accomplishing their top targets.
Last season Chelsea finished in the middle of the standings, so for me it doesn't matter this season if the Blues fail to get into the top 4 or 5. Because it has reached this point, it feels like it has shown a change for the better. No need to rush, let the young players enjoy the process little by little. The Blues have Palmer as the spearhead who is starting to show his quality, as time goes by several other young players will also develop. Chelsea does not lack a budget even though Todd Boehly is considered too wasteful. At least when compared to Manchester United, Chelsea is certainly better this season and has brought positive improvements.

Manchester United will reportedly be active in the transfer market to improve their poor performance, but we'll see whether Ten Hag choice of players is still the same or slightly better. The reason is, the only way for Manchester United to improve its poor performance depends on the player purchasing policy that Ten Hag will implement. If the goal is still to add players from Ajax, I don't think there will be any surprising changes next season.

I agree to your sentiment here bro, Chelsea are quite better than last season, but they have really been poor during the cause of the season, and it's because of this their present form at this closing stage of the season that has kept them in the league table this high.

To be sincere, and actually not a fan of Todd boehly, because he has practically reduced the Chelsea I know to an average team, though the younger players are trying, but experience is very vital if they can return back to their glory days, so I would have suggest that the management of the club use this summer transfer window to recruit only experience players, that can help the younger players to blossom.

And lastly, though most people will disagree with me, but I still feels like the position of the manager still needs to be looked into, because their are more capable manager out there, that can return this Chelsea team to it past glory, someone like hamsick flick, alegri, if he is actually fired by Juventus, and jose Mourinho if he would agree to come back, that's what I think it's best, I don't know if anyone feels differently.
33  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: May 19, 2024, 06:10:37 AM
Waiting and piling up the cash in fiat before you buy is totally the wrong approach if you ask me because Bitcoin isn't a stable coins and you can't expect the price to sit around and wait for you to gather all the money first before you now use when you are satisfied with the money for investment. The right thing to do is simply to keep striving to accumulate just like you have stated with the little earning so that you can meet up with atleast the lower price because you can't tell when the price might go up or even down.
That's right, collect cash first before buying Bitcoin, of course this is very wrong, we can skip buying when the price is down and it would be better if we continue to make purchases whenever we have funds that we can use to invest in Bitcoin and do it consistently in order to achieve satisfactory investment targets from the results of the investments we make.

Make a plan of how you will invest, if investing with accumulated money you must wait for the dip. But if you keep investing regularly using DCA method then you can invest monthly or weekly with your income or salary. So it only depends on the investor whether his investment is long term or short term, but Bitcoin investment is better to be long term. Because the longer the Bitcoin investment, the higher the benefits and the lower the risk.


Yes it's true, I totally agree to your sentiment bro, it's more ideal to invest in Bitcoin when you have a source of income coming in on a regular basis, because on that note, you can accumulate Bitcoin true the dca accumulating strategy, according to how much you can afford while having your emergency funds kept aside,  but if you decide to invest in Bitcoin only when you have funds, you wouldn't be consistent in your accumulating process and that might hampers you in having a good stash of Bitcoin in your possession, and you might also temper with it, if you don't have a source of income that can take care of your basic needs, in your daily lives.

So  in all this, it's very much necessary that as you are investing in Bitcoin through the DCA method, you should have it at the back of your mind that it's only for long term purpose, because it's only that way, you can fully reap the full dividend of your Bitcoin investment.

People actually don't know how important it is to wait for the right set-up, some traders think that the more you trade the more money you make which is very much unlikely, trading doesn't work like that, you might make a lot of money from 5 to 7 trades, and use just only one trade to lose everything including your initial magin.
Not even newbies think that, what are you talking about OP? Most traders aren't your average dumbass that would just think such a simple concept, pretty sure that some people know about the risks that entails trading so I don't think that anyone thinks that way, most likely you're the only one that thinks this one OP sorry. I'm in all agreement with what you're saying though, wait for the right time to trade so you don't lose the money and that you can enjoy your profits, learning the patterns that the market make might also help you a lot given that even in the unpredictability of the market, there will always be times where in the pattern it's basically repeated if you can compare it, sure the price is different but how they move is what you should be looking for.
Bro, one of the major reason why people most people accumulate a lot of losses in trading is that they don't know when to trade and when not to trade, they will see a market consolidating, and they will choose too trade instead of waiting till the market go out of consolidation, because they fail to understand that it's not how active you are in the market that makes you profitable, but it's by how technically sound you are in the business that makes profitable.

Lastly, you also need to understand that when trading, if you don't know how to control your emotions, you will find yourself doing things you out not to be doing and that will definitely cost you dearly, because  trading is 90% psychology and 10% technicality and execution,so the earlier you understand that waiting for the right set-up is very important, the better.

I still can't believe that Manchester United paid 95 Million Euro in Antony. This guy is a joke, he is a spinner, the internet is full of his memes. I don't know why but seems the whole Bitcointalk community missed when Antony came off the bench for Man Utd against Arsenal. Just look at this photo down below, this guy is funny.

Source: buy Antony for €95 Million

I was reminded of this, discussed a few months ago, Man United really wanted him, he was expected to become a star and make Man United a success, and he even spent so much money.
And in the end...
This is what happens, this video tells all.  Grin
The internet is full of memes about Antony. Here is the video: https://www.tiktok.com/@user.ye.naing/video/7368326023902989569

... Manchester City is basically more likely to win the trophy again, and it seems that West Ham will not be able to make Pep Guardiola squad drop points. Even though Arsenal can get full points, it will not be meaningful because the final result is determined by Manchester City consistency. ....
It should be like that, at least Man City should win even with a small goal difference, it doesn't matter, the important thing is to win. Because this match really determines the results of the Premier League matches this season. This is really tighter than last season, so anyone who slips up and loses will definitely regret it. And what Arsenal only hoped for was that Man City would lose to West Ham. But honestly, Arsenal's wish will probably be very difficult to grant.
Hahaha, I clear knew of the meme that involves Anthony that you are actually talking about, because the look on his face was really really funny, like he is going to do something special as he is coming in, but it was actually a disaster, he had no impact on the game from his end, but you are not putting up the right picture bro, it's actually the wrong picture, I knew of that particular meme picture involving Anthony you are talking about.

And as for the league title, in my own opinion, it's over, because you don't expect Manchester city to be consistent for this long and decide lose it on the last day, so it's very much unlikely that anything other than Manchester city winning the league is going happen, because the experience and quality in this Manchester city side makes it very easy to predict the possible outcome of today's fixture, so a big congratulations to Manchester city, because their consistency is what have brought them this far.

Indeed this news is very surprising and i was wondering why this summer plenty of clubs has decide to separate with their managers because the names such as Xavi Hernandez, Massimiliano Allegri, Jurgen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel and Stefano Pioli will leave their current clubs and the latest is Roberto De Zerbi and according to the news i have read De Zerbi and Brighton has reach an agreement that both representatives have agreed to end their cooperation and just like i said before this is very surprising news because previously De Zerbi has been make a statement that he will be stayed at Brighton

Although at that time De Zerbi was linked to the several big Clubs such as Liverpool and Barcelona but he was refuse that rumour and against Manchester United could be his last match with Brighton but i think he will soon get a club because after this news appears then i am sure some of big clubs will attempts to hire him and recently Bayern Munich and AC Milan has showing their interest to him but it's very interesting to know which would be his destination but i will assume De Zerbi will handle big club for next season
In general, the reason a number of managers parted ways with their clubs next season was because they failed to achieve their targets, although from a certain point of view some of them are still worth keeping. Luckily for Ten Hag and Pochettino, the two managers who receive the most sharp criticism but are still defended, I think each club has their own standards.

Most recently, De Zerbi rumored to be parting ways with Brighton, perhaps for the same reason, because their performance has also decreased compared to last season. There will certainly be many clubs interested in De Zerbi, he might be able to win trophies if he joins a team that has better squad depth. Even though there are many rumors circulating, we'll see where De Zerbi ends up furthermore.

Apart from all that, I hope that a manager who has been unemployed for a long time like Zidane can enliven the transfer window and return to coaching one of Europe elite clubs. The Premier League will of course be the main goal for every coach to show their skills, where in the last few seasons no one has been able to overcome domination City, which is managed by Pep Guardiola.


First of all, I think it's actually a surprised too me that Di zerbi is leaving Brighton on a mutual consent is a very big shock too me, though he has failed to do better than last year in terms of their position on the league standings, but he has actually done a good job at Brighton, so  am actually surprised that he is leaving the club, or are they expecting him to qualify the team for a place in Europe? Because I don't get it why they would be seeking for a change when he is actually not doing that bad.

Another thing that makes me feel that it's what have a major influence  on this decision that was taken was that, since he over achieved last season, they expected him to do better or at least qualify for a place in Europe, but they weren't able to achieve such feat, so let just watch and see if the new incoming manager can do better than De zerbi.
37  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: When will you start losing trust for an exchange? on: May 18, 2024, 07:38:32 AM
The idea for this discussion come up as I been dey read wetin one of us been write for another topic,
This can not happen but they can not lose trust from the public unless they mismanaged their users funds.
Asides having a legal issue and mismanagement of person money, what other reason fit make you lose trust in an exchange?

Mismanagement of users fund and legal issues is just some of the clear reasons that can make an investor or and individual totally lose interest in an exchange no doubt, but their are few activities that can make people lose interest in an exchange,  something like sharing the kyc data of their customers with a third party, like government of the state, and that is the reason why binance exchange has really earned my respect, because they prefer losing the Nigerian market than giving out the personal data of their Nigerian users to the government.

Secondly, another thing that can make someone lose interest in an exchange is when their minimum deposit is just way too high, am saying so because that's the exact reason I stop using kucoin before they left the Nigerian market, to me, if they aren't criminals, why would they set their minimum deposit of Bitcoin at 0.0002 Satoshi? which is almost 15usdt, I lost 10 dollar worth of Bitcoin that I transfer to that account, since then, I tag then as criminals, and I stop using kucoin and I started using bybit, because in bybit, even the least 1 dollar worth of Bitcoin can go through.

And lastly, is how fast and active the customer support is, if the customer support is not that active, it will definitely make someone lose interest in the exchange in question.

Recently Niklas Sule appearance became a hot topic of conversation during a training session with Dortmund ahead of preparations against Real Madrid in the upcoming UCL final. I'm not sure whether he will start in this important match, not that I doubt it but as we know Real Madrid can really benefit. According to SPORTS BRIEF, Sule weight and eating habits are irregular, he often eats 6 pizzas and 8 kebabs. I don't really understand the fitness of football players, but as a lay person seeing Niklas Sule overweight could be a problem for him on the field, especially against Real Madrid which must be taken seriously. Like last time against Mainz Dortmund suffered a 3-0 defeat. I don't mean anything by it, but it's just strange to see because usually football athletes are always on a diet, maintaining their body shape so that they maintain a sixpack.


It would be actually be of the interest of borussia dortmund to just let Niklas sule be, let him not be added to the match day team list, because with the kind of pace the likes of vinicious and Rodrigo possess, they will definitely find joy anytime they are up against him, if he would be playing on that day, and so it will be best if they left him out of the team list, besides, why would a footballer be weighty like this? It's so sad and regrettable that a sports man will be in such a terrible state physically, because he is not being penalized by the club.

So the best decision that should be taken is leaving him behind, because I really don't think he can be helpful to the team, when he is like this physically.

Man City is currently at the top of the Premier League standings and is still waiting for Arsenal to face Everton. Hopefully Arsenal will be able to get points in that match, because Everton has not lost in their last 5 matches, only 1 draw, in fact they have taken advantage of that moment. by Arsenal but luck was not on their side at the start of the season, so it would be very difficult if the two of them had to meet to win the title for this season with Man City.

We were quite surprised by Arsenal's condition at that time, but at the end of the season they were able to get up to turn things around. If we talk about mental matters, of course they already have the mentality and the proof is that they are still remaining at the top of the class. If they don't have the mentality, then Arsenal is certain to experience this problem. like Chelsea and Man United, who always waste their chances in the last few matches, I hope to continue to do my best to win this season's title whatever the result, at least try to keep fighting..
If the equation for Arsenal was that they must win the last match and if they win the last match they would have secured the title this season but for them the equation is not like that. Now the equation for Arsenal is that they have to win their last match and Manchester City have to either lose or draw their last match. This means that Arsenal will have to look at other teams besides winning the last match and the results of other teams will depend on their title win this season. If the match was unimportant for Manchester City, then maybe Arsenal would have a chance to win the title, but the match is very important for Manchester City because the whole season depends on this one match.

This has became a continuous trend for this arsenal side, because they will be leading the chart till when it's closer to the end of the league, that is when they are going to start losing and drawing games, which will eventually give room too Manchester city to go above them, and once Manchester city go above them, then it's all over, because Manchester city as a team hardly drop a single point when it's like ten games remaining in the league,  so a big congratulations in advance to Manchester city for winning this year English premier league title, because at this point, I believe that nothing can stop them now.

Lastly, I said it a few weeks back that the biggest mistake made by both arsenal and Liverpool was allowing Manchester city go above them in the league, and it all plays out as predicted, congrat to the citizens once again.
40  Economy / Speculation / Re: Road to 100k? on: May 17, 2024, 02:49:31 PM
Basically this section of the forum is about speculation of the price of Bitcoin that is why it looks like a lot of users are exaggerating about it's price but even though our speculations may not be accurate but it helps to boost our confidence morale to be hopeful that the price of Bitcoin reach the speculated ATH of $100 and all this speculation we do here works some times. Okay just take a look at the price of Bitcoin now and some days back that the price was dipping so Bitcoin is a volatile asset which the price tends t go forward and backwards and it is what keeps the market balanced so speculation continues.
I would not exaggerate to speculate on the value of BTC as touching $100k is reasonable and that too this year. May not happen again. You may have noticed that none of us are saying that BTC will be worth $100k. We only estimate the probability through this thread. We make assumptions from our place of freedom and basically from a place of logic.You will also see that when Bitcoin started its journey in the market - in 2013 it was worth so little. In 2015-2016, the value of 1 BTC was highest only $1000 and in 2024 it was ATH $73,750.00. If you analyze the data I have provided you, make an estimate of the value of BTC by 2025? So the speculation we are making about the value of BTC in this thread is not unreasonable at all.
Apart from the fact that Bitcoin is meant to reach a new ATH after every circle do you know that Bitcoin price can stay for a very long time before reaching an all time high again due to the fact that it has already gotten an ATH before the halving so all we are doing is speculations and this speculations depends on the effect the market will create so if there is no much investors buying Bitcoin you can't expect the price to skyrocket.

Should this be our primary concern right now? No, this shouldn't be our primary concern right now as a long term holder, because with the little knowledge I have gotten about all this is that, the current price of Bitcoin and it current state shouldn't be our primary concern right now, what we should be more focused on is to have a very good stash of Bitcoin in our possession, so I wish to ask you @cryptoprinces101, if Bitcoin create a new all time high as you are talking of,  like moving to 100k, would you be a great benefactor with your current holdings?

If not,  I would suggest that we should stop acting as traders, because it's only traders that are concerned of what's happening in the market on a daily basis, Note, am not saying is a bad thing to speculate about the price of Bitcoin, what am trying to say is that, we should focus less on that and focus more on our accumulating process since we are all a long term holders.
