And the chance can be higher (more than 50% to succeed) if we have enough knowledge and experience in it. Crypto investment is risky, but it isn't like gambling, we should have many ways to increase the opportunity to succeed.
The knowledge one develops before investing in Bitcoin doesn't correlate with the price (if it will appreciate or depreciate), because the direction the price will take at any given time is unpredictable. You can't have enough knowledge or experience to increase your chances or time your ROI when you invest in Bitcoin, you basically just buy and hodl for the long term, thus if your lender will be needing their money anytime soon, borrowing to invest shouldn't be part of ones plans.

Having said that, when it comes to Bitcoin investment i don't think there is any particular trick to it in order to increase your chances of success, you basically just have to do the simple things like being patient and understanding that it isn't a get-rich-quick scheme, and it is much easier to do all these if the money invested is yours.

Right now sef the small thing wey dey bother me be say -  nor be to follow do 1 million march o. Shey the 1 million "marchers" don collect PVC?
We don pass this stage for this our movement for a better Nigeria through Peter Obi, when PVC registration been they go on, sensitization on the matter choke, and quite a lot of people even put their own resources together to ensure say people get their PVC, and if you go they honest ehn, you go know say Obi supporters come out wella come collect their PVC's, so we don pass this discussion at this stage, make we no use this one worry/distract ourselves, now na the time to continue to they tell people say make them vote for person wey fit bring hope to this failed nation, now no be the time for PVC talk, the registration don close, so people wey no get no be our concern again, make we work with the people wey get, na so the matter be.

Manchester City have shown how much they want the champions league, it is not a secret ambition as their objectives are clear for everyone to see from how much they spend in getting world-class players and top talents and sack coaches who fail to win the trophy for the club so it is no longer something new. Manchester City are looking stronger this season. I will love to see a final between PSG and Manchester City to see who wants it more.
I don't think City sack coaches who do not win them the Champions League, if that was the case they would have sacked Pep Guardiola who has been in charge of the team for about 6 or so years and have failed to win the Champions League for City, even when Mancini and Pellegrini left the club, it wasn't because they didn't win the CL, it was because they both were not able to make City a very consistent team in the big stage, the team was somewhat erratic then, and thus they needed a manager that could give them a certain standard.

Having said that, Manchester City are yet to sack Pep Guardiola because of the consistently high level City have been playing under his management for the past 6 years or so, winning quite a lot of trophies and breaking numerous records in the process, they might not have been able to win the CL just yet, but his achievements with the team surpasses a CL trophy. City want to win the CL, no doubt about that, but they will be very happy with Pep and the level he has brought the team to, and they will not exchange him for a manager that will win them the CL and take them back to an inconsistent/erratic level. By the way, i would also love to see a CL final between City and PSG this season.

The real test for MU is this MANCHESTER Derby, where Ten Hag's tactics and strategies are pitted against Pep Guardiola's tactics. Will Haaland appear as a hero in the Manchester derby or will Martinez be stopped? I think the Manchester derby is a test for Ten Hag, Martinez, Malacia and Dalot to test Man United's defence. This derby will definitely be fierce and full of strategy wars between the two coaches.
I don't think this is their first real test; Manchester United have already passed two of their tests this season against Liverpool and Arsenal, since they beat the two of them, thus even if they lose to City, i don't think we can say they lost their first real test. Though the Manchester Derby is an entirely different game in terms of rivalry and bragging rights for the fans, so this game might mean more for Manchester United than their previous tests against Liverpool and Arsenal.

Having said that, a lot of talk will be about Haaland leading up to the game, if he can keep up with his scoring streak or not, we'll see. If Manchester United win that game then they might be making a big statement about their title chances this season, remember they started poorly, but have been very impressive in the last couple of weeks; for City, they will want to continue with business as usual, and since Arsenal have a tough game against Spurs a day earlier, when City play Manchester United they might have a chance to go top of the table. This weekend has a lot in store for us.

This is his second Premier League experience after working with Chelsea. It looks like he will be more successful with Tottenham also.
More successful than when he was Chelsea manager? I sincerely do not think so, he might have a successful time at Spurs based on their own standards, but for him to outperform his time at Stamford Bridge in Spurs is indeed a daunting task, remember that he won the Premier League and the FA Cup with Chelsea, so for him to be more successful at Spurs he has to win at least these two trophies or more, or maybe win a bigger trophy than them both, which in this case is the CL trophy; i don't see Conte winning any of these at Spurs, no disrespect to Spurs, but he is in a team that isn't accustomed to winning trophies and that might prolly be the case during his spell there.
2087  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Be careful when lodging into any hotel on: September 25, 2022, 04:43:31 PM
It was actually my first time using a hotel, if not for the wedding festival I am not the type that you can see in a hotel, mind you the country that I am from this isn't something new and with high corruption going on I can't do what you asked of me because I can't win no matter what, I am from African country but I've learnt my lesson.
Making multiple posts in a row is against the forum rules, you don't have to reply every user individually, you can merge all your replies to every individual user in a single post of yours.

Well, i am sad to know that's the situation where you come from, but i am also from an African country and 'common' people do win court cases everyday, but since you said nothing explicit was recorded by the hidden camera, then it is all good, and it might be a better option to just basically let sleeping dogs lie.
2088  Other / Archival / Re: Don't worry, bitcoin is cyclical on: September 25, 2022, 04:33:13 PM
You see, especially newbies when they encounter a bear will begin to shout that BTC and cryptocurrency is a scam.
Without any doubt some cryptocurrencies are scam coins, while some of them are pump and dump coins, the complaints about those kind of projects are legitimate, and crypto users should not be hodling such coins, especially in a bear market, a lot of them won't survive the crash. It is Bitcoin that i am definitely sure isn't a scam and a hodlers don't have to worry about short term corrections, it is a project that is sustainable for a long period, but then the mistake quite a lot of people make is to think that every crypto is like Bitcoin, and is sustainable too.
2089  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Be careful when lodging into any hotel on: September 25, 2022, 03:05:32 PM
I am surprised that a hotel room has a hidden camera, that is violation of privacy and if it is true i think you can take legal action against the said hotel, when i saw your topic subject i thought the issue would prolly be that you used a hotel's wifi and got into trouble doing so, as we know it is not good to use a public wifi when you'll be accessing your crypto stuffs; but this case of hidden camera is quite strange to me, and if i am to be honest, i haven't heard of something like this before.

Just as @Lucius has said, rather than making a post here, i think you should be writing a statement at your local police station against this hotel.
2090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is permissable in Islam. on: September 25, 2022, 02:52:49 PM
Don't limit your understanding since Bitcoin has been explicitly governed by Muslims.
Bitcoin is not governed by anyone, religion or group of people, bitcoin is decentralized and only the user who owns the funds governs controls their own personal funds, i don't know where you get that impression of Bitcoin being governed by muslims.
Depending on usage. Bitcoin is legal if used as a medium of trade. For instance, utilizing Bitcoin for cash transactions similar to those using fiat currencies.
Not only in Islam, but generally, and even from an ethical point of view, we all want Bitcoin to be used for legal activities, but just as fiat is used too, there's nothing we can do to stop some fraudulent people from using Bitcoin for the wrong reasons.
2091  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin a top player in Libertarian Government on: September 25, 2022, 12:45:10 PM
A long journey is ahead, as we'll have to build a world where everybody, not some, will be able to understand Bitcoin and its currency.  
That world is not possible, i don't even think Bitcoin at inception was created for the entire world to understand and use it, there are people who are just fine with the centralized system they use, we prolly know they are completely under government control, but they do not see it that way, and for some of those people, they would never actually see Bitcoin for what it actually is, and sometimes there isn't any need trying to convince them. Quite a lot of people as well only have a very minimal amount of funds, without any savings or extra money, these set of people wouldn't ever see Bitcoin as a currency or even an asset, they just want to do their small jobs, earn a small living and have meals to eat.

Having said that, let the people who have lesser problems in life to enable them want freedom and control of their finances use the Bitcoin currency and hodl it for the long period, over time the numbers have been growing and it will continue to do so, we must understand that in as much as Bitcoin is a fascinating network, not everyone can 'afford' to use or care about it.
2092  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will digital dollar be a threat to bitcoin? on: September 25, 2022, 11:01:41 AM
maybe in the future the Central Bank Digital Currency or CBDC will success but like all other said it will be centralized and in my opinion it might not transparent as crypto did, and the other that it will not a threat for a bitcoin and I think this will be the opposite people maybe get more attracted of cryptocurrency world
Quite a lot of people are already allured to decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and also centralized non-government crypto in general, mind you that in no way is the government attempting to create CBDC's to allure people to crypto, or to encourage people to use crypto, CBDC's are created in a bid to reduce the number of people that are using decentralized crypto, a part of me has always felt that the campaign for CBDC's is basically in direct competition to Bitcoin.

Having said that, whilst CBDC's don't function like Bitcoin, and what goes on with it can't directly affect Bitcoin, but the activities of those who created CBDC's can affect Bitcoin, and these people are no other than the government, they'd definitely strengthen their campaign against Bitcoin, trying to dissuade their people from using it, but rather they should trust the crypto that is issued and controlled by them.

Bitcoin has always risen above government manipulation, and i am pretty sure that the case of CBDC's will absolutely be no different.
2093  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin island in the Philippines? on: September 25, 2022, 10:40:44 AM
All of this is nice and good or at least it sounds so.  But I wonder how many of these islands/resorts/countries are Bitcoin True or Bitcoin Fairweather?  Are they all in when the next bear market hits or will they temporarily or permanently close shop for Bitcoin.
I am pretty sure they must have done their own research about Bitcoin before either accepting it, hodling it or incorporating it in their business; for merchants in these resorts/island, they really do not have anything to lose accepting Bitcoin payment since quite a lot of them use payment processors and they get fiat currencies at the end of the transaction, they only accept Bitcoin because it is tagged a Bitcoin island/resort or whatever, and it helps to attract crypto tourists and what have you, for such merchants, bull or bear period means nothing to them, whilst for those that will choose to receive Bitcoin directly and hold it, i am sure they know the risks involved and they'll surely be ready for it.

Having said that, the same things above goes for countries that have made Bitcoin a Legal tender, except of course if the country has also invested in Bitcoin with the nations funds (El Salvador did that), only then will market conditions bring the heat on them, but definitely before they take that step, they know the market is volatile, and ROI is for the long term, thus it is what it is.

For the Bitcoin community, we do not have anything to lose, all conditions is a win-win-win for us, they are contributing to mass adoption, and even if we lose some of them by the way side, that is very normal, they have played their own parts, and there will be other contributors that will definitely take their places as we progress.

I don't know if the reason why Mauricio Pochettino is still jobless is because he is waiting for an offer from a top club, or if he is just on leave/taking a break from managerial action, whilst Pochettino might not have won too many trophies in his career, i think he is a good manager and i love his style of football which is always very attacking and never defensive minded. When he was Spur's boss i always enjoyed their matches, the team always took the game to their opponent and never sat behind waiting for counter attacks, maybe that is why he didn't manage to win anything with them, as for his time in PSG, mind you that since they became a rich club they have had quite a lot of managers, and none of them won the CL, so it is not like he was the only one that failed in that goal. Overall Pochettino is not a terrible manager.
2095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: September 22, 2022, 03:31:44 PM
Arsenal are playing like title contenders this season, their performances show they want to win the trophy this season.
Finally, someone is giving Arsenal the respect they deserve this season, it almost feels like every user here is just waiting for them to capitulate, or they feel Arsenal aren't good enough to compete for the title, but even if they might be correct, and sooner or later Manchester City might take top spot, but one thing that can't be denied is that Arsenal have been brilliant thus far this season, there is no question of that.

The management did a fantastic job in the summer transfer window, and now the club and fans are enjoying the benefits of that, we'd see how long they can hold on to top spot. When club football resumes next week, it is the London Derby for them, i think if they win that one, more people will believe in their aspirations this season.

New hope has begun to appear since Haaland arrival, City began to be productive in terms of goals after Haaland joined the squad led by Guardiola.
City have always been a team that scores quite a lot of goals, i mean, they hold the record for the most goals scored in an EPL season, that was in 2017/2018, and Haaland wasn't anywhere near their team then, Grin so they always score goals, their problem has been scoring important goals in crucial games in the latter stages of the CL, and also missing quite a lot of opportunities in important games that they ought to have put to bed, like againts Real Madrid in the first leg of the CL Semi Final last season.

Having said that, that area could possibly be were Haaland can help the team to go all the way, he has a great positioning ability, and he hardly misses chances, thus just maybe in the most important games in the latter stages of the CL, he could be the man to help them kill off games and get the goals they need to go all the way, we would see.

There is always tension in Big Match matches, predictions are very difficult to make because the quality is almost the same. Arsenal defeat to Manchester United illustrates that Arsenal have not been able to be consistent, although many people predict Arsenal will come out victorious, but in fact it is Manchester United who won three points.
What do you guys mistake consistency to mean, if a team that has won 6 out of their 7 league games isn't consistent, then what is consistency to you. Arsenal have been great this season, they are the team that have recorded the most wins (6) this season, and whilst i know that it is going to be very difficult for Arsenal to win the league from Manchester City, we have to agree that they have been great since the start of the league, and until they capitulate, they deserve to be shown some respect. Yeah, Arsenal lost to Manchester United, but so did Liverpool too, and that loss is the only one the gunners have suffered this season, winning all other games, isn't that impressive to you guys!

Manchester United preparations I'm confident for the winter transfer market. it will open in January next year. It has been reported that Manchester United is one of the clubs that will be very aggressive in the transfer market next year.
Well, i don't think Manchester United will be big spenders in the 2023 January transfer market, it is very difficult (not impossible) to sign players of top quality in that time of the year, and not only that, Manchester United have spent a lot of money this summer already, i am not so sure if they will be open to spending big again, just few months after. The acquisition of Antony, Casemiro and Martinez cost the club a lot of money, so they will prolly be reluctant to spend big again.

I think sme time around October Tottenham and arsenal are going to meet and if care i not taken Arsenal will not recover from the impact of that game as Tottenham, look more prepare then Asernal this season.
Not some time around October, Arsenal's next game after the International break on the first of October is the North London Derby against Spurs, so you don't have to wait too long for it anymore. Having said that, i think many of you in this thread are just waiting for Arsenal to capitulate, haven't they shown you guys enough that they might just be title contenders, or at least, be runners up, i mean, Arsenal are top of the table, yet you say Spurs are better prepared than them this season, in what other way do you want Arsenal to prove to you that they are indeed ready to go a long way this season.
