Is that really a wise strategy my bro? I mean, if one is a long term hodler and the coins they are accumulating now is for the long term, then definitely buying during the dip is actually the best way to go about things; since you believe Bitcoin is still going to drop further, to eventually rise back up/start another bull run/set another ATH in the long period; that can only mean now presents an opportunity to accumulate more when the price is cheaper, waiting for it to recover or start to rise again before you buy is not the best thing to do. Imo it is much better to accumulate it when you can do it for a 'cheap' price, except of course for people who are short term investors, those are the sort of investors that your advice suits.

Well, it is actually looking like Ronaldo isn't going anywhere, and i just think it is because nobody wanted to buy him, rather than Manchester United not wanting him to leave, i mean, just take a look at the teams that reports claim have been interested thus far this summer, they are either teams that Ronaldo can never play in, like Athletico Madrid and Chelsea, or teams that are not really good/better than Manchester United, like Napoli, Sporting and the rest; i actually feel sorry for Ronaldo that this is happening to him at this time in his career, but the closer we get to deadline day, the more it becomes obvious that Ronaldo would not be playing Champions League football this season.

Having said that, another problem Ronaldo might likely face in Manchester United this season is playing time, he might not get as much playing time as he will want, and that might create problems between himself and the manager, but overall, whatever the outcome is, Ronaldo must act like a professional that he is, and give his very best to the team whenever he is called upon.

In a game against Southampton, you'd expect Chelsea to dominate the play and possession, which i think they did; but Southampton still had more shots on goal than Chelsea, which is poor imo, i would not categorize Chelsea's defense as being poor, Koulibaly and T. Silva is a strong defensive pairing, and soon they would have Fofana in the team, they also have strong full backs; i think Chelsea's problems are not from a particular position, it is more of a general thing, and i would look at the coach if that be the case, maybe he is prolly not setting up his players in the way he should, and prolly his tactics aren't working, but it is poor and unaccceptable for a team of Chelsea's standards to be losing 2 games out of 5, drawing 1 and winning only 2, if they continue like that, i'm afraid they might even struggle to finish in the top four.

Manchester United are that way for two reasons, one is that the transfer market in football this days has gone abslolutely crazy, clubs now place an outrageous valuation on their players, in a bid to make sure they get the most out of them, and two because Manchester United are a deperate club, they have not won the league in a long while, they have changed managers a lot in the last couple of season, and now they are just 'ticking every box' in the hope that one works out for them, and when it doesn't, they are left with egg on their face and they sometimes have to sell the players for very less.

Having said that, you can't compare what Wenger was doing at Arsenal then, with what the situation of the market is now, if you take that approach, i'm afraid you'd not win any trophy, and would prolly struggle to even finish in the top four, this days you can't even get average players for a cheap amount, you have to spend money to stay at the top, that is the reality mate.

Not perhaps, Scott Parker is the first manager to be sacked in the Premier League this season, initially i was surprised with the decision from Bournemouth to fire parker after just four games in which they lost 3 and won one, mind you, the oppositions they have played against aren't the sort of teams you'd expect Bournemouth to win, they beat Aston Villa, and lost to City, Arsenal and Liverpool, i mean, those are 3 of the best teams in the league, so why then has he been sacked so early.

Thus i did a bit of research into it, and read what legit news sources had to say, and i think the problem stems from a disagreement between Parker and the Bournemouth hierarchy, so Parker wanted them to spend money to strengthen the team, whilsts the board felt they didn't have the finances to do that, this lead to open complaints from Parker on how the team wasn't strong, and thus led to them firing him. It is a bit of a hard one to take for Parker, especially after having secured promotion for them from the Championship, but i guess we could understand it from both parties, and this is prolly what's best for both of them.

Lol, i am pretty sure Barcelona would have hoped for a much easier group, in the past this prolly would have been an easy group for them, and they'd have surely qualified alongside Bayern Munich, but at this very time they are a team in transition, and are just trying to rediscover themselves, thus this is going to be a really tough group. Having said that, i think they can still go through, Inter aren't too strong, though more often than not they can be a stubborn opposition, i for one would want Barcelona to make it out of the group stages, it would be much better for the competition if they make it through.

Well if you want a board where bitcoin traders can 'network' with one another, i'd take 'network' here to mean sharing trading signals and strategies to assist in your trade, then you can just do that in the trading discussion section, prolly create a thread with your own signal and strategies, and request other traders that are willing to share theirs to join in the party. But if by 'networking' you mean meeting new people that are involved in trading like yourself, then i'm afraid Bitcointalk isn't the right place for that cause of privacy reasons.

This is exactly the position OP must take, just as i told them in my earlier response in this thread, if you invest in a project, of course after doing your own research, then you should believe in it, i for one for example believe in the Bitcoin network, and notwithstanding whatever FUD or panic the media and some personalities try to spread, i basically do not care, i hodl my Bitcoin, and spend it when i get a chance to, that is because i have done my research about Bitcoin and i know it is a long term project.

Having said that, Ethereum looks like a good project in the Altcoin market, it has been around for a long while and has a pretty strong community, thus the coin might not really dump as rumors have it, but like i said before, it is only OP that can make that conclusion.

Well if the ranking was based on new wallet downloads, then it is erroneous to correlate it in such a way that it seems Litecoin is the top coin in regards to crypto adoption, because we both know that's not true, i don't really know too much about Litecoin, but i've prolly heard a thing or two good things from its users, and i'm glad quite a lot of people find it useful, but Bitcoin is basically the crypto that has an actual utility globally, that is why its adoption globally is something that is in continuous growth everyday, and sometime down the line, mass global adoption will be complete. Having said that, we can't even verify if this source is authentic and if the information provided is accurate, but it doesn't really matter if they are shilling, those who are knowledgeable still know the truth.

Well, there are many cryptocurrencies, and tbh quite a lot of them are short term and pump and dump coins, and they definitely have no future, Bitcoin is prolly the one cryptocurrency i can categorically state that it has quite a lot to offer globally in the future. Having said that, i don't think the forum is too hard to join, and you can always ask questions whenever you feel lost or don't understand anything, and i'm pretty sure you'd get answered, so newcomers should basically use the search button, as well as create topics to ask questions when they feel the need to, and they'd be just fine here.

Well, do you believe those rumors, when carrying out your research you would do much better to avoid rumors, and instead go for verified and authentic information, in this case you'd have to read what ethereum intend to do actually with this merge, and decide for yourself if it will positively affect their network or not. Having said that, if you are asking this sort of question, do not expect too much from it, users would only tell you what they think, whether verified or not, and more often than not, people will tell you exactly what they have done, for example, those that have sold will advise you to sell, whilst those that haven't sold, will tell you not to; so it is up to you mate, DYOR.

One rule of thumb that you should know about is that you should never invest in something that you do not know too much about, i mean, there are a whole lot of resources available for your to research about this coin you wish you to buy and hodl, but you have not done that, instead you want to invest because you watched some guy's video, and he made predictions about XRP, predictions that are quite impossible to happen. Having said that, whilst i don't think XRP will appreciate as high as that, neither do i think they are a good coin for you to invest long term into, i mean, Bitcoin has to be the best option for long term investment, but notwithstanding all of that, take your time and do your own research, and see for yourself if it actually has any future potential.

I congratulate you wella my bro, e no easy at all, anybody wey don rank up reach Hero rank go understand wetin i they talk, it requires steady consistency, with quality and constructive posts most of the time, and as you don do am so, e show say you sev na better contributor to the Bitcointalk forum, and to the Nigerian local thread. Enjoy your new rank mate, but no relax oh, make sure say you continue in this way, this local thread need posters wey they eager to contribute, and you are one of them, so make the matter continue like that. Well done to you, and all other Nigerians wey they rank up too.

Yeah exactly, we are just two days away from the end of this summer's transfer market, and i am pretty sure one player everybody has their eyes on is Frankie De Jong, the uncertainty surrounding him and his future has made the headlines for a couple of months now, and in two days we'd know officially if he is moving on, or is still a Barcelona player, and what the future holds for him with any of the decision made.

Having said that, i am quite surprised about the talks of a holiday being given to him, though i have not read about it too much, is it family related issues or just time off, i am curious why he would get a time off at this time in the season when the players just returned from their respective summer holidays, and btw Barcelona even have a big match against Sevilla this weekend, it all looks so strange.

Manchester United have played well in their last two matches, i don't know if they will consistent from now going forward, but if they do, then they prolly have a chance to make it to the top four, but it is indeed going to be very difficult, the battle for a top four finish in the EPL is more like a fight to win the title itself, and this season we have so many teams eyeing a spot from 1st-4th, only the very best and consistent can get in there, and judging by what Manchester United have shown us in previous seasons, they might not make it.

Having said that, you can't blame Arsenal fans for daring to dream that their club could win the title, as it stands they are strong contenders to win it, yes they would drop points, but so will every other team do, they just have to be consistent. City are too strong though, and i do not think Arsenal can be consistent enough to take City's title; well, who knows, they might just go on to prove me wrong.

Well it is what it is, and that is what the transfer market is all about these days, every club now seems to be requesting outrageous fees for their players just so they can make more money from them, even when such players are nothing close to that valuation, it is a crazy transfer market in football these days, and more often than not the club that is purchasing the player have no choice but to budge at last to get the player they want.

Having said that, Manchester United are a desperate club, and when a club is in that sort of situation, the selling club loves to toy with them and make them pay far more than they ordinarily would have paid, take for example when City wanted to buy Cucurrela and Brighton were asking for too much, just cause City weren't desperate and they knew they would be strong with or without Cucurrela, they moved on from the deal; but Manchester United don't have the liberty to do that, they do not know what is to come for them this season, so they need as much reinforcement as is possible, and sometimes notwithstanding the price the players come in for.

The thing is, there is nothing you and i (that's if we aren't suicidal), and any other person who doesn't have the thought of killing themselves can do about it, the only people that can stop it from happening are those who are suicidal, those who have the thoughts of taking their own life, you know it all starts from the mind, so if they can open up and speak to someone about their problems, seek counselling and spend time around people they love, then they can get over their problems and start enjoying life again, only they can stop this from being a norm, people just have to open up.

Well, one thing i've come to understand is that every country, all of the time put their interest first, in every decision they make or every action and inaction, it is always their country's interest before anything else, as a result of that i'd not blame any country or region for the underdevelopment of another. Colonialism was over quite a long time ago, and all African countries now have their countrymen ruling them, if all through these years they have pursued the interest of their nation, in regards to development and other whatnots, they'd definitely be in a better place right now, but for African leaders it has always been about their own selfish interest, and for as long as that continues, there would hardly be development in that region; all i can say is that it is time for most parts of Africa to stand for good leadership or absolutely nothing else.

Whilsts that might be true in some topics, it cannot be generalized as it all depends on the topic/subject that is being discussed, as well as the users that are participating in the said discussion, there are threads that garners attention right from the first page to the last, and by last i mean down to the fourth page and even more. Mind you too that the best brain/contributor to a topic can make their first post on it in the 3rd or 4th page or even more, like i said in my earlier response in this thread, how much time you have to yourself per day in RL determines how quick you respond to a topic, the most knowledgeable person about a particular subject might be busy in RL when that topic is posted, and when they are less busy to join in the conversation, it has already gone past the 2nd page, and despite that, their reply remains a constructive and quality one.

Having said that, mind you that spammers still make posts in the first pages of new topics, they don't care what you think about them, they just say whatsoever they want and move on; you might be correct in the aspect of merits because only few people read a thread above the second page or so, but again there are exceptions based on the subject that is being discussed and how the discussion progresses.

Bro na so everything they for this life, e no get anything wey get only advantages, disadvantages must they too, the only thing wey they important be say make the advantages pass the disadvantages, and in the case of the 'internet', na the advantages choke pass oh, the disadvantages wey they am is caused by people wey they abuse am, and you too suppose know say everything wey they this world must be abused by some people in one way or another; if you carry Bitcoin now give example, the network na very wonderful thing, but some people they use am take steal money so them no go catch them, but because of that you no fit talk say Bitcoin no good.
