2241  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: [CHARTS] Monthly Overview Of The Unofficial Nigeria Local Board📈 on: March 09, 2022, 05:30:21 PM
Thank you igehhh for this monthly update you do perform. The graphics and charts are fine. One thing I like about the update is that every new month we use to make progress.
The post counts is increasing and the post quality is also improving. What we need more is the number of users in the local board. Recently I saw some newbies in the local board, many of them does not appear to be serious in my eyes and just few are serious. I believe in the coming months number of users wil increase.

I have updated the main list on the first page of this thread.

Since January 24, 2018, a total of 1.13 million merit has been sent.

I have also published monthly statistics for January and February 2022 at the same time. Welsh is the leader of this TOP-200 in January, El duderino_ took first place in February. Cool


I have seen many peoples name here and most of them I know and they have sent me merits.
But I searched for my name but I didn't see it. I use to recieve merits and if I recieve merits I will issue them out, I don't hoard the merits so I was expecting to see my name somewhere close to 200.
How is this calculated?

Chartbuddy had a bad month. He posted way less messages than in December and January. Maybe he’s losing some commitment to the forum

It is not his fault, blame pope Gregorius XIII.
In March all will be fine again!

Yes, February is usually a bad month for CB, but I bet that he can improve his number for this month.  If not this next February maybe the following February I bet he will beat his record!

Someone quoted this thread in one of my posts to show the most active users of the forum. I have seen ChartBuddy top the list consecutively. But since I have been in this forum I have never seen ChartBuddy drop a single post anywhere  Grin
Please where does CB post?

Nice listing many scam ways but most of them are not crypto related scam. In this forum we are more concerned about the crypto scam such as scam ICO, phishing Airdrop, fake trading bots and investment plans.
But not withstanding the type of scam and how dynamic the scamers can be, you may not fall victim if you decipline yourself by:
A. Not trusting anyone online
B. By investing in only something you know about
C. By not paying one to recieve two
D. By not releasing your personal information etc

Project developers avoiding some questions should not be a red flag and also project developers answering all your questions shouldn't mean the project is genuine.
Speaking about the first statement, many project developers put much efforts at the backend and as such may not have all the time to answer your questions. They sometimes automate their telegram channels and bots will do the conversation which may fall out of point.
Speaking about the second statement, fake projects may hire smart experts who will answer all your questions out of experience and yet the project is a scam.
It's better you do some independent research.

NEW TOPIC: Politics and Cryptocurrency

For many countries like my own (Naija), general elections go happen next year (2023). Politicians don dey make their underground waka, some done dey jump from one party to another, some don dey talk the positions dem wan occupy. But, we wey sabi crypto, e be like politics no concern us. No mata sey we get brain pass dem, but we no gree join for politics.

If elections finish, our eyes go clear when people wey hate bitcoin and crypto, wey no too sabi money mata go become our leaders. Them go begin sama law wey no go favour bitcoin, like to ban it. We go return here begin cap say government wan kee bitcoin. Na who be government? Na we, but we just leave am for others to run.

Me I don gather mind to run for my ward councillor, I dey popular and my people trust me but na money dey yarb man.
I dey beg una to try put body for politics for full or use money support candidate, make people wey hate bitcoin no become leaders come put laws wey go affect our wealth. Me and you fit still be government.

In many countries as mine (Nigeria), general elections will come up next year (2023). Politicians are beginning to switch interest, some are decamping from one political party to another, some are declaring interest for some political positions. Then, the crypto enthusiasts are very far from involving in politics. Despite that people involved in crypto are smart and financially intelligent, you will rarely see them involve in politics.

After the general elections, you will understand that anti-bitcoin, anti-crypto and financially uneducated people will become your leaders. They will start to make anti-bitcoin decisions, such as to ban bitcoin and we will return here and begin to complain of how government is fighting bitcoin. Then, who is the government? We are the government but we decided to leave the governance at the mercy of others.

I have the intention of contesting for the councillor of my political ward, I am popular and well trusted but the financial involvement is my challenge.
I so urge you all to involve in politics directly or passively so that some anti-bitcoiners or some touts will not make laws that will crumble your acquired wealth and back it with government. Me and you can also be the government.

Watford vs Arsenal match is just being dramatic and entertaining. Right from the start of the match till now that Arsenal is leading with 2goals to 1, the game has not been dull. The inflow of goals is much in this first half, this means that there will be much goals in this match.
Meanwhile, Manchester United hope of top 4 is running down and becoming obvious that the top 4 does not belong to them. Who knows it can be theirs if they beat Manchester City.

Bayern 1 - 1 Leverkusen

Bayern is very strange this season, at the beginning of the season they scored a lot of goals, but then they started to lose points, they had some defeats and they started not to score many goals constantly to the point that it became very risky to bet on the goal market when they play for On the other hand Leverkusen have become a very strong team in the last few games, they are hardly losing and they manage to do well when playing against big teams
Unlike many others who predicted that Bayern Munich will defeat Bayer Leverkusen, I was of different opinion. Though I predicted a draw but I thought that the goal will be higher because both teams can score very well.
Bayern Munich is relaxing because they know that they have already won the league or close to winning it. Their attention and efforts have shifted to champions league.

The closer to the end of the Premier League this season, the more interested I am to see the end of this League. How not, the more here the competition is getting hotter, Liverpool now hopes that Manchester United can become their hero indirectly, with the hope that Manchester United can stop the move from Manchester City. Yes, although it's a bit difficult, because Manchester City is the team that has the most consistent performance.
Manchester united winning Manchester City is a bit difficult, it does not really mean that Manchester United cannot win because in football everything is possible. But if you are looking at the current form and depth of players of both teams, you will understand that the blue part of the Derby is favoured or tipped to hijack the whole three points.
In terms of consistency, Liverpool is more consistent that Manchester City, despite that City is at the top, but they lost more matches than Liverpool.

Leicester played badly in the first half and although Leicester took the lead in ball possession but not many chances were created, the result was better for the away side Leeds. Whereas in the previous match Leicester played well against Burnley and I think Leicester will be able to do that too here, hopefully there will be goals in the second half of these two teams because basically they have the ability to do that although sometimes it ends goalless.
Liecester really played badly in the first half, not only in the first half even in the second half till some time when Liecester changed their game. Liecester changed their game when Lookman and Iheanacho entered the game. It was when their chances came and Barnes was able to convert one.
Meanwhile Leeds have many chances but they do not have good goal converters.

From the start of the season Westham was so good and they tried to take it to this point but at this time they need to decide to be more focused on europa league or focus on England Premier league. It will be difficult to achieve both.

Here's the tricky thing about this week game. Even if Manchester city were to win against Manchester united, for West ham to overtake Manchester united, they would have to win their match against Liverpool which is unlikely (not saying is not possible). Sadly West ham would be playing against Liverpool first before the blockbuster game of the week.

The outcome of this game can also influence how that of the two giant will be played tomorrow. If Liverpool were to lose then Manchester city won't be under too much pressure but Manchester united would be more determine to win so as to retake the fourth position.
Even when things go well for Manchester United and they win Manchester City and also things goes well for Westham United and they win Liverpool, yet both of them are not guaranteed of the top 4. The most favourite to occupy the top 4 is arsenal, not only because of their play style but because of their outstanding three matches which is very huge at this time.

Good to have Philipma1957 write here. I have not been privileged to go through your profile if not that _act_ called my attention to you.
Also good to know that you have shared relationship with DannyHamilton in the forum for some times.

franky1 has a very interesting take on the LN network he could be correct he could be wrong.  I read all his points and decided to be more diverse than being a BTC purist ,

Thus my partner and I mine BTC,ETH,LTC/Doge.

franky1 has pushed that BTC is more of a POW/POS coin due to the LN network this is a solid observation and I agree with it. But unlike franky1 I do not know if it will kill off btc down the road.
Whenever I read Franky1 statements they are always interesting to me no matter what angle it is hitting me. Whether I have to agree with him or not, his talks are always logical though could be centred sometimes.

He is of the opinion that anything that is done off blockchain is centralized and therefore LN is centralized and does not truly represent bitcoin. It is interesting to read but difficult to believe because many people believe otherwise.

For Inter they have difficult situation because they have to do away match on Anfield and so far Liverpool very strong at there and many teams admitted Anfield as the stadium with the best atmosphere because the fans are very fanatical about Liverpool and maybe some people still remember that Barcelona just can't win there and the situation will not so different that this match will belongs to Liverpool

Its always difficult to win Liverpool at home, the support they receive from fans is a huge boost for them.
Well, i don't think Inter Milan can do much harm to Liverpool at Anfield because they are really good playing home matches plus with the number of quality players they have inter milan don't stand a chance against them.
Coming to get a victory in Anfield is a complete nightmare for Inter Milan and every other club in the world. On a normal day it is a difficult task for clubs, let alone now that many circumstances are surrounding it .
Circumstances as the excellent form of Liverpool, also circumstances as the good players Liverpool is parading now, circumstances of Anfield and the fans therein and finally circumstances as 2goals down. So, it is near impossible for Inter Milan.

I also think that all is not lost for Sevilla and even if they fail to take the title of champion this season, the second place is also a very good result for the team
Yes. The second place is more than enough for Sevilla. We must admit that they are not one of the biggest teams in La Liga. Sevilla can finish better than Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, it must be very appreciated. No one can predict Sevilla to be 2nd place in La Liga at the beginning of this season, it is very surprising that they are now in the runner-up place. Sevilla only needs to maintain their current position, no need to force luck of getting the title.

This is football, anything is possible. I cannot tell Sevilla to be relaxed with second place. Sevilla deserve the first slot. If Barcelona and ATM are struggling to be in top 4 shows that many things happened in the league this season. So Sevilla winning the league will part of the joy. They should remain focused, who knows if real Madrid can make some expensive mistakes and Sevilla will emerge.
I also think the the europa league is more important for Sevilla because they know how to win that title very well. This is surely a good season for Sevilla.

From today's matches, in my opinion, Liverpool - West Ham promise to be the most interesting. The hosts are in great shape and they will be fighting Man City for the England championship to the end of the season. West Ham dreams of promotion to the Champions League all the time. I hope for an interesting game and I bet Liverpool will win.
While Liverpool will be praying and waiting for Manchester United to do a magic of winning Manchester City or atleast draw them, they will not miss the opportunity to convincingly win Westham United. They will surely win Westham United no matter how stubborn they will like to be.
From the start of the season Westham was so good and they tried to take it to this point but at this time they need to decide to be more focused on europa league or focus on England Premier league. It will be difficult to achieve both.

Today's match at the top of the Bundesliga Bayern Munich - Bayer Leverkusen promises to be very interesting. The hosts are the favorites of course, but I would not exclude Bayer's chances in this match. Both teams sometimes play an outstanding match, as well as lose against a much weaker opponent. The fact is that a lot of goals are scored in the matches of these teams and I think it will be the same today. My bet is over 3.5 goals
It will be interesting because both teams are at the very top and both teams are in good form, infact Leverkusen is in a better form than Munich. Then the two teams have been scoring decent goals recently, we are therefore expecting an interesting match with good number of goals.
Bayern Munich has champions league and are believing that they have won the local title, so they may be too relaxed and loose the match. We never can tell, let us watch out.
2258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 05, 2022, 10:03:11 AM
From today's Serie A games, the AS Roma-Atalanta match looks to be the most interesting. Both teams represent a similar level and will probably fight for promotion to the Champions League until the last matches of the season. I do not see a clear favorite in this match, so I bet on a draw.
A very interesting match to watch. Jose Mourinho's boys have been decent for some weeks now, having recorded 3 wins and 3 draws in the recent fixtures. In terms of team form, Roma is far higher in form than Atlanta but yet Atlanta is ahead of Roma.
I am seeing the weight of the match more in favour of Roma, so Roma is supposed to score atleast 2 goals. But Atlanta is a stubborn side who can still equalize the 2 goals. So the best bet is to stake over 2.5 goals because it is possible to see 2:2 scoreline.
2259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 04, 2022, 12:48:03 PM
Dortmund are a good team in the Bundesliga, but they are not much better than Bayern Munich. They are still struggling to match the game from Bayern Munich. Now that they are 8 points adrift of Bayern Munich at the top, I see the race for the title has ended a bit here. If you expect Bayern Munich to slip, I think that's a very difficult thing to happen.
It is very difficult for Dourmund to catch up with Bayern who are already 8 points adrift, even though Bayern are still competing in the champions league, but it is very difficult to say Bayern can slip in their domestic league, even though at this time Dourtmoud is no longer participating in any event, and can focus fully on their domestic league, but also very difficult for dourmond to lift their domestic league title, Bayern are too tough, and difficult to move Bayern from the top position.
In football nothing is difficult and nothing is impossible. I learnt this lesson years back in the Champions League when Barcelona came from either 4:0 first leg against psg and qualified and also Liverpool did same to Barcelona even when Barcelona was madly in form.
I can only consider it to be difficult because Dortmund need to be consistent first their own and then pray that Bayern Munich becomes inconsistent to give them the desired chance of catching up with the league title.
2260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: March 04, 2022, 12:40:46 PM
Most people are waiting for the huge match between Manchester City and Manchester United in Etihad. And obviously, Manchester City are very close to winning this match. Manchester United are clearly not a team that are even close to their level now. In fact, Manchester United have very great players in terms of scoring and this team must be able to fight for the championship normally. But here we are and they are a desperate team that can't even beat Watford in Old Trafford. Considering that, Manchester City wouldn't have big trouble here.
You got me laughing here Grin
But that is as bad as Manchester United used to be, but when it comes to Manchester Derby, they will play it with all their might. Manchester United does not need to take that match lightly. In as much as Manchester City is fighting to win the league, I believe Manchester United has a greater fight to secure their top 4 space.
So, if it is in the heart of the fans and the coach, Manchester United will win the match. But the players think and play different thing from what was agreed.
