241  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Get one btc right away or 5 btc with a bet? on: March 16, 2024, 08:44:48 PM
It's not always easy to make the right decisions. Are you a gambler? If you're offered 1 btc without playing or 5 btc by playing (with a chance of 2 to 1). What do you do?
Very complicated question but trust me ill never gamble any amount of btc at this stage ill choose the one btc asap. One btc is enough for me to reach the level of where i want to be. It pains me that this is just an imagination, i wished it was real and this offer was given to me. I wont hesitate on making my decisions which is obviously to choose the one btc.

I cant imagine my self gambling and unfortunately losing everything when i could just have that one btc and walk away. Guess you will feel am not a real gambler? Yes, i am a gambler but i wont make wrong decisions when am supposed to.

I don't get it, how come the team that is third right now, has the possibility to win it more than all others? I feel like that makes no sense to me at all. I am not saying City won't win, obviously they could, they are only one point behind, nothing bigger. But considering they have KDB injured again, and third place, why doesn't others give more chances to the other two teams? I believe that it could actually happen.

I feel like it is going to be something that we could care about, and if anything happens, the new could consider the situation to be changing slightly bit. Just accept what it is and move on forward and City may just lose this one out. Arsenal would be a great story to tell later on, but Liverpool is likely to happen as well.
I understand your point but it's just seem that everyone is now used to Manchester city winning even when they are way back and thats the consideration is slightly more favourable to city than arsenal or Liverpool and besides Manchester city have already collected the trophy from behind from the hands of almost all the big boys in the premier league, I mean they first did it against Manchester united then Liverpool and also arsenal so it's no new thing for them.
By now Arsenal fans will be so disappointed with Newcastle. Since they were expecting Newcastle to secure a draw against Manchester City. However Manchester City the previous champions are ready to secure the first place in the EPL table. Liverpool and Arsenal should be ready because City is not yet ready to loose any match. They will be strong at the top if care is not taken they will be in that position till the league ends. What a tough season for all the teams, a season that will forever be remembered. Well played and well organised.

This season Barcelona suffered three defeats and what is interesting about that fact is that all the defeats occurred in home matches so I quite agree that it is very likely that this match will end in a draw although it does not rule out the possibility that Barcelona will win it, because the home team winning looks quite difficult to happen.

In their last four meetings, Barcelona has been more successful than Atletico Madrid because Barca can win home and away matches, both teams are in good momentum because of their success in the UCL match, but fatigue could hit them because the midweek match is quite emotionally draining, especially for Atletico Madrid because had to play a tiring match against Inter Milan which had to be resolved through a penalty shootout.

And even though Atletico Madrid could be shifted from its position in the top four by Athletic due to the narrow margin, Atletico remains the favorite team to finish this season by getting a position in the top four, I'm quite sure of this because Athletic will face a tough match against Real Madrid at the beginning of April which could cause them to lose points.
Barcelona is yet to recover from fatigues and stress which they have suffered in the Champions League. But it would be so painful if at the end of all this competition they are participating they end up not wining any trophy. Watching Atletico Madrid played yesterday with a stunning performance i don't see any big deal that they won't win Barcelona at home this week. These guys are fast, strong and with good field positioning.

The performance percentage rate of wining in both teams are equal. Just a reminder, in the last five meetings Barca has been more successful with two draws and two wins while Athletico Madrid had 3 wins and two losses. Although the match is between the two teams and only the best would win. Barca on the other hand has been luckier to had played with smaller things a lot that is why they are above Athletico Madrid in the league table. Soon we will see a shift in the positions after this week game. If Athletico Madrid will be taking the position of Barca or they will be in the 5th postion.

For a team like Arsenal who haven't been in the Champions league for 8 years now. They do not really know how things works out in the semifinals, quarter finals to move to the finals. All they have in their mind now is that they would play very well to win any team they are giving to play in the semifinals. It is not an easy one for them in this UCL. Porto gave them a tough time, and the remaining team that qualified is stronger and better to do them more than what they enocuntered with Porto.

Football is all about expreicne sometime. In my opinion i want them to have this expereince playing with Barca, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Athletico Madrid, Manchester City and Real Madrid in this competition. Even they may not qualify for the semi finals. I just pray they give them Dortumund yet in this Quarter final so that there may be hope for them. As i believed Dortmund is the weakest among all of them followed by PSG.

If you are new to crypto and airdrops and testnet are a must for you, please consider a burner wallet, or name it anything you want, e.g spare wallet, trash wallet etc.

This wallet must be use as your shield on the battle field, whenever you plan to join some tasks online, claim tokens or use a new Dex, it's smarter to consider using your burner wallet, whatever will happen happens to the burner wallet.

Let your burner wallet do the trades, the mint, and the free claims for you, this simply keeps you a step away from losing the digital assets in your main wallet.
If newbies do task for airdrops on testnet, they can use wallets for testnet tasks. Nothing to lose with testnet tasks and wallets used for it.

If newbies do task for airdrop for main net, they can use other wallets only for main net tasks. These wallets must not be ones they use to store their funds. If they receive airdrops, they can swap it to stable coins and  move it to their main wallets for fund storage.

They can use smart contract revoke tools too
How to revoke token approvals
https://etherscan.io/tokenapprovalchecker
https://revoke.cash/
https://app.unrekt.net/
Good suggestion too but not for newbies and beginners just like OP was specific about them. It's better to avoid all these by using the trash wallet. Since there is no limit to how many wallets you can have in one wallet app. And it is not stressful as well to create a new wallet. For now, let just be 2 wallets and then in the future they can have Mutiple wallets for various purposes. It can be for minting, connecting with DEX, smart contract and another to store very large amount of asset. Also, if they are investing, they should have another one. for investmen, this wallet shouldnt be intereacted with most times.

I guess this type of things happens a lot to so many newbies in crypto.
246  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HODL bitcoins, you can do it! Look at HODL camp map to build up strong hands on: March 15, 2024, 08:11:36 AM
No one can get rich overnight by investing there is risk. As far as I'm concerned holding bitcoins involves people's own decision and it's not possible to get money from here in a day, it's a long term wait. Don't think of bitcoin as the only source of income. Besides other means of income, bitcoins should be invested based on own money. By holding bitcoin, there is less risk of loss and profit without any challenge if the price rises.

The price of bitcoin increases as the time passes so if someone hold it longer without selling it at any stage during fear will get huge profit. The profit from Bitcoin depends on the time of holding and it is based on the investors thoughts that how long he keeps his bitcoin.

Some people are also involved in trading with altcoins but they face troubles when the price suddenly goes down and altcoins also possess risk. Now a days one can easily buy and sell altcoins as price is regularly fluctuating and at the same time one can hold bitcoin so he can get profit from both trading and investment in current Bull season.
Truth i agree. Another fact is that not many persons are holding bitcoin for the long run, through highs and lows, good times and bad times even when people start panicking or start. selling because not everyone will actually believe in the currency as a viable technology. In my opinion every investor should be holding at least 0.1% of btc which is 10% of btc and enjoy the sweet ride in the bull run.

Before the bull run ends 1 btc might be equivalent to 4 btc previous in the previous years. Bitcoin has already than better than silver in the last decade and it will do more than Gold if gold doesn't take its place now. I believe it will hold its value more than fiat currency including the mighty dollar.
247  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge on: March 15, 2024, 08:04:58 AM
I haven't had a chance to work out for a long time, thanks to this thread I'm back. The bull run in the market feels good too. I continue to do 100 push-ups, not every day, but every other day and let the muscles regenerate.
Don't just focus on upper body and skip leg day btw, you know the biggest muscles of the body are in your legs. Smiley
Yeah I have been thinking about this too. I was wondering how to make sure that the lower part of the body is also carried along. Same way our upper body is building up it will be good if our lower body is building too, especially the leg. Gradually my body is turning into a lion shape. A huge upper body and a small waste and leg. How do I make sure the leg  trained as well?
Thats right buddy, it seems i have been putting more attention to my upper part of the body. I need to start putting equal efforts or work on the upper part and the lower part of my body. Not just because i want to do it for doing sake it's because i don't want to be looking like a hammer Cheesy. Big chest and arms and small waist and thin legs. I have seen people like that and that shapes doesn't go so well. A person should be at least 87% perfect in building all part of the body to avoid looking awkward.
248  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: March 13, 2024, 08:59:09 AM
so... let me just mention that if you had started investing into bitcoin at $100 per week since your forum registration date, then you would have invested right around $34,200 and you would have had accumulated 2.9473 BTC (current value of $212k, so decently in profits in comparison to the amount invested).  Of course you can adjust the amount to whatever your own budget would have had been over the past 6.5 years, and you can also consider whatever you have been doing in terms of shitcoins and consider whether you are at least performing close to the same or better than a strict BTC accumulation practice that would amount to DCA investing..    I doubt that you have better results, and especially results that are repeatable for other normal people who might not have time to fuck around figuring out which shitcoin to get involved in.

Ordinary investors deposit shitcoins in the bank for a fixed period of time and got 5% profit on principle amount.... is it sufficient ? But what if we were to invest in bitcoin! How profitable it would have been ! Actually there are many people around me who are investing in shitcoins. DCA is a method that is flexible for everyone, it does not put any pressure on the investor. Because of DCA investors like us are stuck in bitcoin. I look at our portfolio at least once a day and am excited. We want to increase the size of the store, for this we need to increase the savings, the sale should be excluded for the time being
Using DCA strategies in shit can be damn risky, just as sir JJG said they are not long term investments that have any fundamental and/or long term value. like that of bitcoin. And you aware that when using DCA strategies to accumulate, you gathering alot of quantity in your DCA strategies and don't forget more your accumulation (number quanties you have Accumulated) more effective the   price movement ( either increase or decrease in price)  would influence your holding . Life for example one for as victim using DCA to invest on shitcoins thinking they have high potential to keep increasing in value. But at the end that particular shitcoin experience a great dip your losses would be much due to the quantities you have stash in your portfolio and most time there's high chances that it  won't bounce back. So if you are planning to use DCA and the other strategies in accumulation. Make sure you are planning to use it to accumulate bitcoin , not shit coins,  so  don't be decieved .
I disagree with you here. DCA method can be used to used for any investment type whether in cryptocurrencies, real estate or in the stock market. When we talk about DCA. Some persons will feel that it is only done in bitcoin. If You are into any form of investing it is good to accumulate every week, bi weekly or monthly through Dca method. Instead of keeping your funds in your hands it will lose purchasing value, and delay you from your goal or target.
249  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Why is our personal safety not taken seriously on: March 13, 2024, 08:47:07 AM
Africans in general do not care so much for safety measures. We were thought about it in schools, workshops, place of work and at home but we dont practise it, which is very bad. The example you gave is very good and there are more to be concerned about in various places. Like in the motor parks, hospital, schools and churches. This are places where we see a lot of gatherings and any thing that may cause harm here should be watched, many lives will be lost if it is not put into consideration. Ignorance to safety will not do us any good. This is why we need to take it serious.

Social media are making people crazy and they will do anything for their 5 minutes of fame. This guy was lucky and I bet you he would have turned into a "Meme" for the biggest loser if he lost that bet.

We know how this is going to end for him, because this gave him his 5 minutes of fame and that attention is more addictive than drugs or gambling... he will do this again and this time he will lose everything.  Roll Eyes
We shouldn't completely believe what we see on social media because we only see outside of things they want to share and let us know. While the main truth will be kept hidden in the shadows. This might not be all the money he had, even if that was all. He have investment, eich freinds and other source of income. Losing in the bet he made will not affect him later because he can afford to lose the money he used in betting.

Let us not be deceived. 50/50 bet is not as bad as we think. It is a risk and what is gambling without risk. What is wrong is that you dont have to use all your money just like the said gambler did. All hands are not equal so we should cut our coat according to our size when we are gambling.  
251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 13, 2024, 07:55:03 AM
After the Manchester City and Liverpool match, the results were very favorable for Arsenal, because there were several injuries. As you said, Ederson role is quite important and cannot be completely replaced by Ortega but it will not completely reduce Manchester City performance. Pep Guardiola can still maximize opportunities and I am sure that the conditions that befell them will not be an obstacle.
Arsenal fans can't help it at the moment, they may be quite happy but the joy doesn't last long until it really ensures that they are at the top of the standings away from Liverpool and Manchester City. It's a shame because the points difference is so small, please postpone the excitement and hope that Liverpool or Manchester City all have important players injured. Cheesy
Arsenal even currently has the same number of points as Liverpool. So they are currently at the top of the standings without any comfort. Because Arsenal leads the standings only because they have an advantage in goal difference compared to Liverpool. Liverpool's condition of always having injured players seems to have become a habit that Klopp faces. And Klopp can always handle it. And Pep is the same. Pep has always been able to maintain Man City's performance even though several of their important players have suffered injuries. So Arsenal cannot afford to be careless at this time. Arsenal must continue to fight harder to maintain their position at the top of the current standings. Because just one defeat or even one draw is achieved by Arsenal, this has the potential to throw them straight back to 3rd place.
The injury problems is same thing with Arsenal over some years now. Arsenal bottled the league last season because of injured players. Now that is what makes you a good coach. Arteta understands this things and try to avoid it this season. He played every player with care and caution. Trying to have the perfect player to fill up any space if there are injuries. Meanwhile klopp havent figured this part out, since some of his players are injured it will be very tough for him to win most games in the EPL. Manchester City on the hand will not be affected because of injury. Pep has lots of players that is fit for the job, anytime, anyday. Who will win the league is yet to be identified and very soon we would find out. We are very close to the end.

Meanwhile, for the Arsenal vs Porto match, even though the match only ended in a penalty shootout. And Arsenal succeeded in winning. But I think that Porto is really strong. Their defense was completely unshakable. But I know all that thanks to the senior defender and can also be said to be the legendary defender from Portugal, namely Pepe. He helps coordinate the defense well. And I am amazed that he is no longer young but he is still able to become an irreplaceable defender.

I didn't think Porto could play this well. Even they can make it difficult for Arsenal. The possession of the ball is also not much different, which means that Porto also plays open. It even seems that Porto play more effectively, he can make 3 shots on target while Arsenal can only 4 shots on target. Of course, this victory destroyed the bad tradition of failing to enter the quarterfinals. They had to wait 14 years to enter the quarterfinals.
You underated Porto thats why. Porto is a one time Champions League winner. They are tough as hell, with strong defense and incredible attackers. Arsenal had a tough time in the game. Untill Trossard the Hero came for Arsenal rescue at the 41 minute. I dont know but obviously history just repeated itself again. I could remember when Arsenal played against Manchester City in the community shield final. Manchester City were leading with 1 goal untill Trossard scored to equalize the game. It ended up in a penalty shootout were Arsenal won the cup.
253  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge on: March 11, 2024, 05:50:05 PM
I think it is not possible to do 100 push-ups per day, but for me, I can do maybe 10 to 15 push-ups per day. If I do 100 push-ups a day, I may put too much stress on my muscles and my physical condition may suffer. So I think until Bitcoin touches $100k, I might push up body weight. Although this challenge is very big but very difficult for me, but I can definitely push up to 100k if I can give more than 15 per day, but before my push-up is fulfilled the price of Bitcoin will reach this level. Although I am not in the habit of doing push-ups every day so it will be quite painful in the beginning as this is my initial condition, so I have to start small. Although it will be possible for me to give 15 on the first day, if I can increase it by 5/7 every day, then surely I will succeed in doing 100 push-ups at some point.

If you are not very used to this kind of exercise (or any exercise), I would suggest starting out with three sets per day, scattered through the day, and you should be able to do that every day as long as you don't do too many and even if you might be sore, just adjust how many you do per set, whether it is 5 per set or 10  or 15 or maybe 30 per set... and then later after several weeks, you might be able to increase to 4 sets per day or even 5 sets per day and that way you can increase your total number of pushups per day.
This is one of those endurance training. Normally its meant to be challenging just like how challenging it is to hold your bitcoin till the price hits 100k. Some would quit along the way but dont let us dont forget that forget that we wont gain much if we dont meet the goal and target.

The goal here is to hold our bitcoin till it reaches 100k and while waiting we try to achieve 100 pushups everyday. There is no faster way to achieve these things if not steadiness and consistency. Once you can do 20  pushups every two hours you can achieve the 100 push ups.

I am a big fan of this thread so i will be checking here very often.

As I am typing Bitcoin is already 70k and is even going to do more sooner than we expected, it can be funny ooo      Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes how someone could say that the 100 pushups per day is affecting Bitcoin pushing up  but I think is working   Roll Eyes  Roll Eyes so no one should give up on the challenge until the  goal and objectives of this thread is achieve, I congrats and appreciate everyone that has been participating definitely is going to end in joy and laughter expecially to those that already have Bitcoin in their portfolio.
Have you checked now. Bitcoin has surpass 72k  Shocked. I have done my ups this afternoon and am willing to continue tomorrow because i am expecting it to reach 74k before tomorrow. I now feel like we are closer to 100k than we expected. The halving has not yet come bitcoin is already doing the most. Goodluck to everyone has believed in bitcoin and this challenge, lets continue and dont stop buying.

This is one good step to be successful. There are various successful persons in this world that used different strategies. Some got the talent, developed it and became successful. While some had no ideas, talent or anything but are lucky to have the funds. Either personal funds they worked for or they were born with a silver spoon. All that matters is that they used those who have the skills, talent and idea by investing in them and become successful.

A true successful man is one who at his convenient place he makes money without having to work for it. Once you have laid the foundation for money you will see it coming easily. Others will be working for you and you will sit and take money.
256  Economy / Economics / Re: Banking on people's ideas, visions, and talents. on: March 10, 2024, 09:28:30 PM
Have you ever met individuals with insane and brilliant ideas that got you wondering, how come he knows all this and it's not even reflected in his life? Some could give you real business ideas that could change a whole generation but that's all they can do, they can't bring it to reality and all their ideas only end on the discussion ground and never come to life.

What do you think?

In the middle of a conversation today, someone said that any plan without money is just a joke, because actually anyone who has the best business ideas or plans actually needs funding before they can carry out their plans and benefit from them if they actually become successful. 

These sets of people have the vision and plans to bring their ideas to reality, but from the majority of such categories, which I have seen here in my country, money (funding) was really the limitation to their vision, which made it look as if they couldn't bring their ideas to reality and could just be seen as daydreamers, while they really lack the capital to put things in place. That's what I think. 

Example: in this scenario, gift a poor or middle-class man a car, and he definitely will learn how to drive within just a little period of time. But if you teach a man how to drive without gifting him a car, he can have a dream to drive one of the best cars in the world, but it will really require him to raise capital to buy that car, which even if he tries, might not get enough money to afford that car. That's how it is with some people; they have the idea and vision but don't have enough capital to start. 
Obviously no business, ideas or visions can flourish without money being involved. If the founders do not have enough fund to start the business till it reaches the stage where it can stand strong they have to raide funds by allowing investors invest in the business by arranging a meeting for the pitch deck.

I have seen many business failled and ideas dead. Trust me i am a typical example whose ideas was lost because of lack of capital and potential investors
257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 10, 2024, 09:17:01 PM
It was a truly thrilling match. In performance-wise, I think Liverpool played slightly better than Man City. Liverpool had several opportunities that could have turned into goals but Stefan Ortega played quite impressively tonight and he managed to thwart several opportunities that Liverpool had, and for the rest of the opportunities failed to become goals because Liverpool did not have a good finishing touch.

I think with the draw that Liverpool and Man City got, Arsenal should be able to smile with satisfaction because they remain at the top of the standings for now. A situation like this makes the title race even more exciting.

From what I saw in the first half, City was stronger, and in the second half, Liverpool, and significantly. This is what caused the replacement of KDB - the weakling Guardiola wanted to keep at least a draw. It’s a pity that Liverpool couldn’t punish them, but on the other hand, this draw is in favor of Arsenal, which is also not bad - now the two clubs are above City and I’m completely happy with that.
That is how it is meant to be. They are both strong teams so the possession shouldn't be on one side it should be shared equally between both teams. However, Liverpool missed so many opportunities which i expected. The conclusion has been drawn that Arsenal would be the team to win the EPL title. Since Manchester City has failed to win Liverpool and Vice Versa. Arsenal is at the top and they wont lose any game to drop any point. They aee more ready to win the EPL title this season.

There are gamblers who have great instincts and can forecast games that may end up winning the bet. But they are scared that they may lose. They dont trust their own betting predictions so they would rather go to a gambling prediction site to some daily betting tips.

So i want to know as a gambler that you are, do you feel following those betting predictions from those sites would favour us in gambling more than our own predictions? For me i trust my predictions and i have won more when i predict for myself than letting someone predict for me.

Anyone who would feel depressed about your winning, maybe a freind or your partner is a selfish person. We should be always happy whenever a gambling freind wins and we dont win. It doesnt have to be us all the time. I know how many times i have predicted some games and i did not end up betting if.

Very soon the match against Liverpool and Manchester City will soon kick off. Pep is ready to see the action of his team on the field same thing goes to Klopp. I believe this match will be able to determine who is going to win the EPL title. One team will drop and once they do it will be difficult to recover back to the top. Indeed the race for the EPL title this season has been been difficult since these top 4 teams are seriously fighting for it. None of them are ready to give up at this stage. Other times we would see some mistakes from title contenders but this season its a whole different scenario.
