2401  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Thanks to bitcoin on: March 27, 2023, 07:11:41 PM
I guess there are both good side and bad sides to everything but I would say the creation of bitcoin is more beneficial to humans now especially in a period where the inflation rate in almost the country is high and people are getting traped by saving money in fiat currency, although my coming to the cryptocurrency scene was a bit late but I have no regret now because I know I have benefited a lot from this wonderful iniative.
Bitcoins is an important project in the space because it's been in existence over the past decades. I'm grateful to getting full knowledge on time on what bitcoin operation and the space is all about. Bitcoin aides me in setting up my house with gigantic profits pulled from the solid project. I appreciate bitcoin because it stood as one of the strong pillar to me and I've made countless gains from it over the past decades, although there are times I record losses but making sure profits surpassed the minimum losses.
We are bound to experience losses in every aspect of life in whatever we do. So I guess the losses you enquired is pretty normal but the most important thing is that we have gain profit that is accompanying all the losses and more importantly the profits superceede the losses. Bitcoin is just a currency evolution that has caused massive wave all over the world, it has exposed the common man to the fact that they can actually be in full control of their currency without a centralized body restricting you of reaching and collecting your money when ever you desire.

I am also a graduate, trying to get a job.  So I myself was looking for reasonable ways to do something that would make me financially successful.As I am still not getting any job so I got involved in cryptocurrency for alternative income.  I think Bitcoin can change people's lives.I have been involved in cryptocurrency for almost 7 years so from my experience Bitcoin can really change people's lives.But it requires patience no doubt patience is the key, because without patience you cannot change your life with Bitcoin.  If you don't have patience, this will become risky for you.  But of course besides this you have to choose some other job or business path.
I think you are right, patience is actually the key to success in life and this logic actually implies to all aspects of life and not only with bitcoin, to be a successful man one have to be patient with life because no one can actually out fast the pace of life its either you do it patiently or rush and before you will know you might just hit a dead end. Bitcoin can be a gateway to success for a man  if one can find a way to make a tangible investment but even with your investment you will still have to play the patient game before your investment can yield massive profits in order for your story to change.

For the AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS QUALIFICATION FIXTURES AND RESULTS 2023 who do you think will be the top scorer of the qualifications rows. I'm thinking Victor Osimhen and Nigeria is going to secure a spot in the finals of the AFCON competition very easily. They play GUINEA-BISSAU next on the 24/03/2023 and I don't see them losing that match. What do you guys think about this fixture and other fixtures as well?.
Victor Osimhen is the name that will always come first in the minds of almost everyone who wants to make this prediction but looking at the level which the Super Eagles are playing it will be very difficult for Osimhen to get as many goals as he would have wanted. I’m not confident of the Super eagles making it far in the competition, they could barely even win against Guinea.
I didn't watch the yesterday qualification but it was after the first half that it started trending that I understood and remembered of the match qualification between Nigeria and Guinea Bissau. I quickly checked the line up and I was able to see Ndidi and Iwobi in the central midfield and I also saw Dennis and Chukwueze in the side midfield and finally I saw Iheanachor and Osimhen at the attacking top. But what I didn't understand was how managed they didn't get a goal for 90mins, not even the hot Osimhen.
Nigeria can play very well and win possession but when it comes to netting the post,this becomes a big problem for them. I don't know why it is always the same old thing repeating  itself. Our superstars will shine in their clubs but come down home to mess things up.

Nigeria players lack the mentality of playing desperately to win when it comes to playing for Nigeria because of the way the government treats them if they are in need or support from the government,if they have critical injuries. Our best super eagle team was during the days of Amokachi and his team mates,when they won the gold medal in Atlanta 1996. If we can have committed and dedicated players like this set of players maybe we might achieve something great in football.

Nigeria is really not meeting up to the standard it should display, when its to the superstar they have but they can't really just find that rhythm as a team just like you stated but am still giving them the benefit of doubt that they will actually recover from this big mess by loosing to ginuea although I know football is a game of suprises but I didn't even expect the performance to be that very bad but I still believed they can make it through their group seeing the likes of the other teams there.

The postponement of Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United to May 4th is too far. And what is the possibility caused of the postponement of the match. I was thinking that the postponement will be in the within of the season taking to May is going to another season and it might affect some of the expenditures of the match preparation. Although they have calculated everything before taking to that far. What really happened for the postponement?
I guess that postponement was due to the fact that Manchester united really had a busy scheduled of matches played, they had an FA CUP fixture that week and their game against Brighton had to be postpone, and I think may 4 isn't a bad time looking at the busy scheduled of different tournament to be played, I mean we can see clearly that the international break is another factor that has lead them to shit it that far. I just hope no player would sustain any injury before that time because Brighton isn't an easy side to play and Manchester united will be needing all their beat player to defeat this team.
2405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 QUALIFIERS. on: March 25, 2023, 03:31:51 PM
Sincerely I do not see Nigeria qualifying for the African Cup of nations with this poor performance. I don't even know if the team is getting better or declining yearly. We have one of the best quality if you want to rate the squad but our performance is a mess, I really don't see the Super eagles qualifying except they improve along the way but with this level of performance, there’s no way that’s going to happen. When do you guys think we are going to have our glory days once again?

I was shocked and surprised by the lost the Nigerian National suffered because like you said, if it comes to player quality, I think

Hopefully this increase will continue, sometimes the bitcoin price trend is indeed unique, at this time we might say it's impossible to get through ATH, but when a certain price is reached the market will continue to explode and it's hard to stop, even though it sometimes goes down but I'm sure at the end of our year can reach new ATH again.
Maybe it's too soon to expect new ATH again at the end of this year in Bitcoin, because now Bitcoin still has to fight for the next price levels first so that the possibility of going to the next ATH can be bigger. But for now I don't think that this can easily happen to Bitcoin even though the crypto market conditions are not so bad now and I also hope that the increase can continue without any hindrance in Bitcoin.
I guess you can never know, especially now that the prices just keep pumping, maybe we are going to see an unexpected halving this time around but I doubt , I think the price is gathering force and momentum to break the old price high which is around 67k dollar but one thing that certain now is that it will definitely reach the half of it ATH price this year. I just hope I have gathered enough coins before this time actually reaches as its already moving close to the 30k Mark.

Something I just feel we Nigerians have carried our characters of ignorance to this innovative forum, I mean the rules are already stipulated there, its only obvious that you are an ignorant human for you to snub and still continue to do ecmxactly what you are told not to do. But since its still a young and growing board, I just hope that we willl all get it right someday and maybe the spamming level will be reduced in our local board.

Am a fanatic of vfootball, since its easily and readily decided within minutes, although its a hard sport because all the outcomes to the different games have been fixed so its either you loose or you win, it all based on how lucky you are, although if you are always constant on playing vfootball, you would have noticed some repetition of same scoreline on certain score but the problem how do you know when the same scoreline is going to pop up. So I guess it just about how lucky you are at the end of everything and the worst part of this gamble is that you can loose a lot in just few minutes.
2409  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigerian Citizens Tearing Their Passport on: March 23, 2023, 10:48:50 PM
For me I don't see why Nigerian are all going wild about this recent update in the nation, I mean you have been in this country for years now and if you dont know anything, you would have known that nothing is ever straight in this country where corruption and mis behaved tyrant who claims to be leader have been constructing their affair. For me I just take everything' that is happening in the country to be the faith of a better tomorrow because I know all this nonsense is just internal repairs in the nation that no one is currently aware of. We are all going to be here and see as Nigeria solve it problems by itself some day because nothing actually lasts forever.

Just tuned into Italy vs England, this should be a really good game. Only 5 minutes gone but I think Italy will win this 1-0 with a proper, Italian performance. Rock solid defence with clinical finishing. I love Barella & Verratti, exactly what Liverpool need.
The game is currently dominated by England, while the score is 0-1 for England's victory. A goal scored by D.Rice in the 13th minute. England seems to be playing very enthusiastically so far. Shoot on target 3 for England while Italy has not had a shot on target so far. This game has been running for 22 minutes.
England is just going wild on Italy, I never expected the goal difference to be two by the end of first half. But they are leading already and they have totally outplayed this Italian team, England no doubt have been very good in their recent games and if its one thing they know how to it would be scoring a lot goal and since they have started scoring like this, it would certainly be more goals coming in the second half.
2411  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which of your friends and relatives deals with bitcoin? on: March 23, 2023, 08:03:16 PM
Cryptocurrency is all the wave here in Africa, at first I knew some folk close to me who were dealing with cryptocurrency and bitcoin to be specific but never really got interested as the rate at which people were complaining about how ponzi scheme have ruined their life but it was not until I was properly lectures by a close friend on what cryptocurrency really is, before I now truly understood the whole concept behind this wonderful technology and since then I would say I have been a preacher of the gospel on the financial freedom attained through crypto and how one can save by investing and holdling your coins and it would not actually have to through the havoc that goes with the fiat currency savings which is this bastard "inflation". I would say am not the only one who is fully aware about bitcoin among my friends but I can boldy say am the only one who is actually holding a bitcoin investment.
2412  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: MetaMask enables direct crypto purchases in Nigeria on: March 22, 2023, 10:34:34 PM


I just confirmed the rate sha, $1= N810 on the moon pay app without the processing fees from MM that's N80 more than the current black market rate. na dem sabi sha with all the high rate MM are still charging processing and some other charges to make it worse. What's crypto without anonymity? P2P is clear.
Charges on metsmask have been a turn-off for me, I used them a couple of times before but that was before I noticed their fees and I quickly avoided them, and besides I don't see any special assistance that meta mask offers that is not obtainable through p2p and to make matters worst, their require KYC verification for Naira deposits.

-Of a truth I am happy this discussion is coming up at this time, at least this will educate newbies to know which options to choose from as the journey on in the cryptocurrency industry, metamask also messed things up when their did not list Bitcoin and only altcoin.
This update is truly good but I feel their is no need for me to check it out again as the already discuss charge rate scares me although one thought just comes to my mind maybe its a newly added feature, maybe overtime the rate is actually going subside. I have tried out some exchange platform's like busha, yellow card and binance and for me binance still remains best due to their easily understandable platform and fast and little charge rate on transaction made through peer to peer.

Milan can't stand a chance against Napoli. That should be obvious already I think. Because Milan are already struggling with the same issues. They are still bad at defending their opponents most of the time.
If their performance is still the same as in the Serie A, then it is absolutely true that Milan's chances of winning against Napoli are very small. Especially with their inconsistency. This is not a sure thing, but at least so far Napoli has been playing very well and consistently. it was just bad luck if they lost later. Milan is actually also a big club, but the problem is in their poor performance for the most part this season.


The champion league offers a totally different atmosphere all together and plus the fact that football is a game of strange and wonderful wonders, I wouldn't be surprise if Milan knocked out Napoli even with this poor form, I mean same thing is happening with sevilla in the Europa league , in the Spanish LA liga they are the worst team when its comes to performance but when the atmosphere is change they are beast and will defeat any opponent.
2414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Game do you think is a Game of Chance or a Game of Skill? on: March 22, 2023, 09:41:07 PM
I was recently browsing the internet on a topic as to why cryptocurrency gambling games are so addictive. This topic is not only about online crypto gambling please do remember this before replying.

While going through multiple websites for my topic I found out that the online gambling industry has been growing rapidly. The growth has been significant as in 2021 the global online gambling industry size was recorded at $61.5 Billion, whereas it went up to $79.8 Billion in 2022. The rise as per my understanding is significant.

While going through different websites I stumbled upon many websites which were about the top most played games in online casinos in 2021-2022. I have listed down the top 4 most played games below but my question is which one of these do you consider to be a game of skill or a game of chance?

  • Slots
  • Balckjack
  • Baccarat
  • Poker
 

I think Slots is a game of chance and Poker is a game of skills. Do you agree?
I think I will have to disagree with the second stats as I feel and know every gambling is under the basis of how lucky you are because even after gathering enough stats in order to place a bet you will still have to be lucky for the actual stats to have a positive outcome so I feel bought are a game of chance. I don't believe any gamblers have skills he or she is using to execute a special winning by him, its just one big whole circle of luck. There is every chance and possibility that you can loose or win a bet on slots and poker.

In fact, there were most who said that too when they played against Manchester United but it was slapped by the fact that Liverpool could have an absolute lead.
The current conditions are still the same, even though in terms of current performance Liverpool is not very good when compared to Manchester City, but of course, we also cannot forget that they are rivals and with this, all possibilities can still happen especially in terms of their players as well still in a state that can be said to be balanced.
The luck that shines on Liverpool against Manchester united will not work against Manchester city since man united is notwell-informedm like man city and at that, Manchester city will win against L pool l means,thate other clubs have a long time to prepare for the match.
One thing I believed Liverpool for, is that they are always strong and good when its comes to playing of the top teams in the premier league, Liverpool are in a really bad form this season but I know for sure when its comes to playing with teams like Manchester united, arsenal, Manchester city and the rest top teams they always play as if they are the most inform team in the premier league.I wouldn't be surprise Liverpool can come out and defeat Manchester city.

FTX was a popular exchanger of the present time.  And it has become very popular among the users within a short period of time as the users get various facilities from it.  And billions of users started investing here and everyone considered it as Binance Alternative.  But despite its popularity, it went bankrupt at the last moment and FTX users lost their huge amount of money.  And the exchange was owned by SBF so everyone considered SBF a worse criminal than Ross Ulbricht. SFB was a smart person and he managed to make his exchanger very popular in a very short time which other companies never did.  Because of which everyone considers him as a big and terrible scammer.
SBF may have planned this scam in advance. So maybe he was proceeding according to plan step by step. He chose various special events to popularize his exchange which he sponsored and tried to gain loyalty of this exchange and he succeeded.

FTX was a sponsor at the ICC World Cup event and from there FTX achieved a lot of marketing success.  And bankrupted the exchange by embezzling people's money just as people had invested huge sums of money in its exchange. He did it completely according to the plan and for that he had a lot of patience and waited for a long time. He is one of the most hated people in history. He should be punished more severely. The court should execute the sentence given to him quickly to show the people that the law is above no one.
Well I guess a master mind who is into fraud would have done same thing as marketing your product would be the first step and after a solid ground is gain, then you strike when your clients least expect. Same scenario occurred in my locality the platform was called bliss emporium, but it was a trading company, people actually invested their fund and the company trade with it gives you triple of your actual investment which at first worked for some months and people started trusting the company and they got lots of clients and investors but suddenly one day everything went downhill and closed up due to them not meeting up with the payment schedules and lots of people lost their money in the platform.

The thing that must be the main concern is about how bad the attacking lines that owned by sevilla. Sampaoli already sacked by club. Club is trying to find a new name as replacement for his spot.

The new coach will have very big pressures and i think that if it's quite hard to find a new guy that will be willing to handle the club to get big pressure instantly.
I didn't expect the Sevilla coach to be sacked. I think their run in the Europa League is not too bad. But the result of the game against Getafe seems to have made the management not believe it. Seven games with five defeats is not a good result, so I think they were not wrong to sack him.
Indeed, if you look at their history in the previous season, Sevilla experienced a very deep decline. Last season they could have finished fourth. Today they are in fourteenth position which leaves only twelve games.

The fact that they will not take part in the European cups next year may have been effective in this decision of the administration.  You might think they played well in the European league this year, but the Manchester United matchup will probably be their last game in the Europa league.  For this reason, the fact that they will not be in the European cups next year caused Sampaoli to be fired.
Yeah I totally agree, I mean Seville have totally lost their touch of winning and even to acquire a draw in a game is really difficult for them they struggle to play and they are in very bad position in the LA liga table, for me I don't think only their Europa League performance will stand for sampaoli not been sacked although he actually did and performed well in the Europa league but he truly needs to be sack in other for the club to restrategies and start winning matches in the future.

The game between Manchester City and Arsenal will be played on the 26th of April, one of the league deciding games of the season and I am sure both teams are aware of the importance of every game and every point at this stage of the season. I am expecting a very competitive and tough game when both teams go head to head again in the second leg, certainly Arsenal will not want to lose to Manchester City for the second time.
This match will certainly be the most important game for the both team in the this year title race. Arsenal no doubt has been phenomenon this season and they have truly show that they can withhold all pressure and win games like the way champions do. Manchester city on the other hand will also take this to be a very crucial game but my only worry is whether their champion league draw is going to affect them in the fight for the premier league title and arsenal, their opponent is already out of the Europa league so they will be putting their full attention to the league and hopefully they can use this as an advantage over city in this fixture.

Gambling or betting is moving beyond just casinos and sports to other sectors of the economy. There is a thread here on betting for the 2024 United States election, and another one for the Oscars. I have seen people bet on movie characters and all sorts of things. This is not to say that they are addicted to gambling. I think we do it for fun, as a form of socializing. While thinking about it today, I wondered what the strangest bet I had ever had was. I remembered having a bet with my brother that he would give me $80 if I could eat 5 packs of 200g of instant noodles in less than 5 minutes, and if I couldn't, I would give him $90. What is the strangest bet you have ever had?
I think I have placed bet on all kind of strange stuff and by strange I mean stuffs like racing between me and wife but we kinda do it for fun though, I just challenge her on a quick race staking a small amount of cash to the race of $30 to the actual winner of the bet, sometimes we also gamble on who is actually the best cook and my children actually act as the judge to the bet to give the decision to who is the winner and actually the greater cook Grin but all this we just do for fun.

~snip~

I am not sure how their boss will have better sport development strategies for PSG in coming years. If they can change themselves by lesson from 10 failed years in Champions League, they will win it in future but I am very doubtful that it will happen soon.
I didn't think, PSG lost even 0-2 at home. Indeed, Rennes are not a bad team, they have good quality. PSG itself may not be able to forget the defeat to Munich. PSG had many chances but they failed to score. Even Messi didn't move, he wasn't involved in the process of creating chances. I don't know how their future achievements will be. But business-wise I think PSG have made a profit.
Its seem this PSG side really finds it difficult to play against any of the big or decorated teams in the French league 1, I can recall only this year they have lost or drew their fixtures with almost all the teams in the top 6 in the French league 1. As for the champoins league PSG has all the star to even win that title but they find it difficult to even reach the finals of the competition and the only time they succeeded in reaching the finals same old nemesis of theirs the Bavarian giants Bayern Munich denied them that right to be called champions. I just hope they will bounce back after this lost against Rennes.
