2421  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Be careful buying alts right now on: June 21, 2022, 04:27:17 PM
Just like everyone else, i do not know when the bear market will end. But what i do know is that it is risky to buy alts anytime, but much more risky when the market is the way it is now, altcoins are more often than not pump and dump coins that are pumped by hype, and i am afraid there is no sort of 'hype' in the network at this very time. Many alts that have crashed would not rise back up again, so there is no need trying to buy them cause chances are high that you will buy an alt that is going completely off the market with this bear run.
2422  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Airdrops vs Bounties on: June 21, 2022, 04:04:20 PM
Can you make more money participating in bounties or airdrops? I made the most money doing airdops so far, like the one from Uniswap, but long term, I think bounties like the one from candlelabsdotorg will pay off better. What do you think?
I think both of them are a waste of your time honestly, i can only advice you to make better use of your time in the forum and on the network, Airdrops were quite popular before, and then they could give you something, though little, but now many of them are scams that more or less want to steal your personal data and info for little or nothing in the end.

Bounties are quite similar and one of the major cause of spam in this forum, mind you that there is nothing long term about bounties, quite a lot of them do not pay and if you are active here you'd see their participants always complaining of breach of contract (no payment in the end), so you'd also be wasting your time if you take up bounties as something you want to do. What should you do? Learn about Bitcoin, that is the advice every reputable user would give you in this forum, learning about Bitcoin will help you to earn in the long run, or if you are really skilled in something, you could advertise it and see if users will be interested.

I hope you no follow for people weh dash us this calamity weh be Bubu. The way this thing come be now, e be like make we rewind the clock to 2011 self before the coming of Bubu make all eyes clear. The suffering of today na from the mistake of 2011. Make we shine eye this time to know wetin we deh do. Na face we deh look vote now, no be party.
I can assure you that even if you take back the hands of time to 2011, do not be surprised that Buhari would still emerge victorious, after Buhari's first tenure of 4 years, of which another election was held in 2015, didn't he still emerge victorious for the second time, even after the disastrous first 4 years in office. I simply can't understand Nigerians. Isn't it the same Tinubu who was instrumental in Buhari's emergence as the president that quite a lot of people are supporting and rooting for to be president, he was in Lagos the other day and you need to see the number of people waiting to welcome and greet him. Sometimes i wonder if we have become completely inure to suffering, or if we have fallen in love with our 'oppressors', or we are just plain hungry and do not mind eating the crumbs that falls off our oppressors' tables, tbh, i can't wait for the 2023 election to come and go, the result is going to be a very crucial one for our nation.
2424  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Digital & Cryptocurrency are they same ? on: June 20, 2022, 07:51:26 PM
Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies. The thing is that there are different kinds of digital currencies, the one your country is planning on launching is a centralized digital currency (or CBDC), meaning it is controlled by your government and issued by them, they are somewhat similar to centralized digital crypto like XRP, the only difference is that CBDC's are issued by central banks. Bitcoin is also a digital currency, but a decentralized one, thus they more or less mean the same thing as they are both digital currencies, but of different kinds. Digital currency is just like the general name for both of them (crypto and CBDC's), see the excerpt below:
Quote
Digital currency (digital money, electronic money or electronic currency) is any currency, money, or money-like asset that is primarily managed, stored or exchanged on digital computer systems, especially over the internet. Types of digital currencies include cryptocurrency, virtual currency and central bank digital currency.

It ain't EPL that is not suitable for Lukaku, he is just difficult to adapt to Tuchel's tactics.
Every coach has their own tactics and pattern of play, and players move to new clubs every now and then and fall under new management with a different coach/tactic, it is the responsibility of a good player to adapt to how his manager wants him to play, you can't make an excuse for Lukaku of not adapting to Tuchel's tactics, that is why he is a professional footballer, he needs to understand the game better, Chelsea didn't pay the huge sum they did for him to complain about struggling to adapt. Erling Haaland is coming to City next season, and he is going to play under one of the most demanding managers in Pep, with a new strategy and responsibilty, but we all expect him to shine, more of the problem is on Lukaku's technical abilities if he is leaving cause he is struggling to adapt.
2426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 winner - Real Madrid! on: June 19, 2022, 11:16:55 PM
especially at the cost of incredible luck, as it happened this season, when the teams that were stronger and higher class were passed.
I can't agree less with you on this aspect, Real Madrid were very lucky to win the CL last season (i know, who cares, they won), and i am pretty sure even the players and their manager know they just about kept on defying elimination, against PSG, Chelsea, City and Liverpool, they were not the better team in any of these games, especially against City, were Pep's men dominated the two legs, should have put the game to bed even in the first leg, but blew it all up few seconds to go in the tie. It is what it is, and Madrid went on to win the CL, but to be honest they were not the team most deserving of the title in terms of performances and domination.
2427  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is alternative cryptocurrency meeting up to it expectations on: June 19, 2022, 10:37:00 PM
It was never meet my expectations since I'm not naive to trust all the promises of cryptocurrencies that they were the future. I stay with cryptocurrency because it can bring me profit, and bring it fast if I know what thing to do. That it, no bought in by empty promises and expectations like many in this thread.
I quite understand your position in the network, it is one of an altcoin enthusiast, and to be very fair to you it is the correct one, i for one do not believe that altcoins are long term projects, they are to be held for the short term and sold for quick profits, cause they have no utility and are only backed by fake promises. But Bitcoin is unlike them, Bitcoin has an actual utility and it is nothing like altcoins, thus if you ever should trust any coin for the long term/future, then it should be Bitcoin, cause your money is safe there.
2428  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What's been your greatest challenge on BTT ? on: June 19, 2022, 10:25:06 PM
My greatest challenge on Bitcointalk is that the more I read about Bitcoin-related topics the more I become aware of my lack of knowledge. It seems as if there's always a new secret door once you cracked open the code for the previous one. Honestly, sometimes it is confusing because Bitcoin is so multifaceted and different boards cater for these discussions and knowledge-giving that one doesn't know which to focus on and just how long. 
Bitcointalk is really a life saver of a forum as regards Bitcoin learning, i know there are external resources and sources to get information about Bitcoin, but in my opinion, i will select Bitcointalk ahead of any other Bitcoin learning platform out there, Bitcoin is really complex to understand just as you have said, and for me the little knowledge i have, i got from engaging in discissions here, and reading posts and topics of other users. I know I still lack so much knowledge, but i am not a total novice either, because i have read quite a lot about Bitcoin in this forum. I am actually not trying to learn everything all at once, cause i know i am not a tech guy, so i am taking things one step at a time, and i am enjoying it that way.
2429  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC is being too nice. Most people don't deserve the chance to buy it so cheap. on: June 19, 2022, 06:19:30 PM
However we cannot force people to buy, they are the ones which must decide to enter the market and if they choose to miss this chance then that is on them, the only thing we can do is to take advantage of it and then hold our coins for as long as we can, as this is the way in which we will obtain the most benefits out of our coins.
I second that, i have always believed that people are absolutely free to think whatsoever that want to about Bitcoin, that is their own opinion and it should be respected, we are Bitcoin believers cause we have prolly seen quite a lot of things that made us believe, we have also done out own research and made up out mind that Bitcoin is perfect, both as an investment and a currency, and that is why most of us use it, for those who do not have the desire to research and find out for themselves, then it is on them; and if they buy other assets they feel are better, then that is their choice.

One thing i have learnt not to do is to panic, over the years my confidence in Bitcoin has grown very large, and i have had no reason to regret that, or to stop accumulating when i see a great opportunity, and for those people that are like me, let us keep accumulating, that is our choice too.
2430  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 17, 2022, 07:53:28 PM
Lukaku really wants to leave Chelsea.  Lukaku has failed to shine since returning to the Blues and he is also involved in personal problems with Tuchel, even Lukaku has criticized Tuchel's scheme which resulted in him being fined by the club.  According to reports, Lukaku is ready to cut his salary to be able to play again with Inter Milan.  However, Inter will face obstacles in being able to return Lukaku to the Giuseppe Meazza.  Because, Chelsea did not want to loan Lukaku to Inter without any reciprocity.  But what is clear is that Lukaku's opportunity to leave is very large.
Right after that interview Lukaku made last season were he was full of praise for Inter and their supporters, and in contrast didn't have any kind words for Chelsea and their fans, the club he represents, that was when i knew it was more or less over between Chelsea and Lukaku, even though his second spell at the club was just at its infancy.

Inter are favorites to get him, and i think they will, Chelsea board and fans will definitely be fuming right now, cause they paid quite a lot of money to bring Lukaku in barely a year ago, and now they are surely going to run at a loss when they sell him this summer, i am pretty sure Chelsea will not accept a loan offer, they will want to do away with everything that has to do with Lukaku once and for all.
2431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 16, 2022, 05:54:54 PM
I have seen some news sources claiming that Tottenham are also among the teams interested in bringing Gareth Bale to the team. The Sun is among these sources too therefore it can be fake news.  Grin  I haven't heard anything from Tottenham side so far like they are seriously interested in him. In fact, they even seem like they don't want him in the squad once again. I understand them too because he is aging and it is doubtful if he can make a good contribution to the team again.
I think it can be fake news too, i don't see any reason why Spurs will go for Bale again, he already returned to the club on loan when Mou was manager, and even if he didn't do too poorly, he didn't get so much playing time, thus the club decided not to make the deal permanent and he returned to Real Madrid, Spurs have already signed a winger in Perisic, i can't see Bale going to the North London club.

To be fair to Bale, i do not think he would also want to go there, with Wales in the World Cup later this year, Bale who is their captain and a very vital part of their squad has to be fit, and to be fit he has to be playing constantly in the few months that remain before the WC starts, Spurs can't guarantee him that, i am thinking we will see Bale in a smaller club where he can play very often and get himself ready for the WC, cause the National team (Wales) seems like his only motivation right now.
2432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: June 16, 2022, 05:18:58 PM
Ten Hag may want to restore the performance of the existing players, because basically they are quality players only in the last few seasons they failed to present their best game. Overall, Manchester United have a pretty good squad, but for some reason they are playing below the quality they have. I think Ten Hag is aware of it all, hopefully under his leadership the players can show real quality.
Like i have always said, unlike some people i do not think United's problem was all about their manager, even when Ole was in charge, i kept saying firing Ole would not bring immediate improvement, Ragnick came in and things weren't any different, the players have a responsibility to their club and fans, and currently they are not living up to that responsibility. There is enough quality in that team, i mean, they have been spending so much money on players in the last couple of seasons, so these players have to charge themselves and represent their club with all of their ability.

Erik is good, and he has a huge job ahead of him, his major task now is to get the best out of his players so they play in the style he wants them to play, any player who doesn't fit in should go, it is as simple as that, no player is bigger than the club.
2433  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reason why I won't be buying top altcoins in this bear market on: June 16, 2022, 03:19:25 PM
There are quite a lot of reasons why you prolly shouldn't buy altcoins, especially in this period, the thing is that most of these altcoins are pump and dump coins, and they are only pumped through hype, right now in the network there is no such hype and most altcoins are going to dump and never rise again, since they actually do not have any utility. Altcoins are short term projects, and buying coins in this period only means you have the intention of hodling it for a long time, thus you shouldn't really be buying altcoins now cause you shouldn't be hodling altcoins for the long period. If i had any altcoin at this time, i will sell them so i do not lose everything completely, and prolly buy when the market is okay again, and when there is hype. If there is a coin you should buy now that would be Bitcoin.

Let us be sincere with our sef if Peter Obi wan win this election he need to form alliance with Kwankwaso this man go bring Northern votes join the southern votes mostly from the youths, dem plenty for North, we no say them dey born pikins anyhow and underage children dey vote wella, but will Kwankwaso agree to be VP to Peter Obi? I don't think that man will summit himself...
If Kwankwaso agrees to be running mate to Peter Obi, then that is a big step en route to his victory in next year's polls, but the same question you asked is will Kwankwaso agree to this offer, to coalesce with Peter and be his Vice, i know it is a difficult situation for him, especially on the basis of his popularity in the north, but i can only hope this works out between them. About a week ago i think they both had a closed door meeting together, details of that meeting is yet to surface, and we do not know if there was progress in the discussion, or if they have scheduled the meeting for a later time, let's just keep our fingers crossed and await a good news soon.
2435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: June 15, 2022, 05:23:39 PM
And so I think next season we will not see the poor performance of the United team. They will be able to be strong and stable next season.
I think so too, of course another season like they had last one will be a disaster and could further damage the club's reputation as a top team in England, so i am pretty sure with Erik in charge now, things will improve, though people should please lower their expectations of the team next season, do not expect them to win the league, a top four finish would be good and might be an improvement, what will matter for United next season is their performances in games, they have to compete/play better than they did last season, it will signal an improvement, and can motivate the team for success in seasons ahead. They could maybe focus on winning either the FA Cup or Carabao cup, if they do that in addition to a top four finish, with fantastic performances in more games than not, then it could be considered a step in the right direction.
2436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 15, 2022, 05:17:11 PM
Chelsea and Tottenham are both good choices and I wonder which one it is going to be.
It would depend a whole lot on the player and what he has in his mind, if he is looking at the biggest club between the two, then it is obviously Chelsea, if he is looking for CL football, then they are of course both in the CL, but tbh honest, Spurs have no chance of winning it, Chelsea do, as for his paycheck, both teams can afford to pay him well, but Chelsea will pay better. The one thing i am not sure Chelsea can offer him more is the amount of playing time that Spurs prolly will, i feel Richalison will start more games in Spurs that at Chelsea; It is up to the player to make up his mind. Personally i do not rate Richarlison so much/high, i think he is overhyped and is more or less an average player, but if all these teams are after him, then maybe they are seeing something that i am not.
2437  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for June on: June 14, 2022, 10:58:51 PM
if we saw that price I am not afraid to say that I will use every single dollar to my name to buy all the bitcoin I could, and in fact I think I could go even farther than that as I could possible sell some assets that I have so I could raise even more money and buy bitcoin for such a low price.
Terrible idea, not that i am not a Bitcoin believer, i am one, through and through; but to invest more than you can afford to lose is a very bad choice to make, i for one will never do it and you shouldn't as well, irrespective of how low the price of Bitcoin falls. Invest with only an amount you can truly afford to use, or you can choose a strategy like DCA to buy at different periods/intervals. Even if Bitcoin goes as low as 3k dollars, do not invest more than you can afford to lose mate.

What can we say, other than good luck and that we wish you success in your merit source application, the final decision is Theymos' to make, and only him can 'validate' our good lucks sent your way. You will have to be patient, Theymos takes quite a lot of time to make up his mind whether to add new merit sources, but then you are now in the pipeline of pending applications, so hopefully someday it could be granted.

2439  Economy / Reputation / Re: (AndySt) The next abuser of stake campaign? on: June 14, 2022, 06:41:38 PM
I have already mentioned that some of rules stimulate forum spamming
AndySt seems to have gladly accepted that rule
In my opinion, i think we have to leave the campaign out of it all, it is the misdemeanor of the user, the campaign is just running their business in the best way they can by including some bonuses for more posts, they have not implored their parricipants to spam, and i am pretty sure there are participants on the campaign who post as much as they can without doing something that this very user was caught doing. Chipmixer pays for up to 50 posts per week, but it does not bring any spam whatsoever to the forum. People are responsible for their actions and not the campaign they are on.

Having said that, the last case that was similar to this one was handled shrewdly by Carollzinha who is the manager of the campaign, which goes to show that they do not tolerate spam or behaviours such as this.

I do no even think Bernado Silva is going to leave City, if he actually should have left it would have been last summer, he was heavily linked with a move away from City then, but Pep managed to convince him to stay at the Etihad, and it was a good decision he made cause he had a wonderful last season with tons of playing time, and another EPL title to put the icing on the cake.

I am pretty sure Bernado is in Pep's plans for next season, and at the moment i can't see a single reason as to why he will decide to leave City for Barcelona. The thing with City is that the kind of football they play and the trophies they win makes it difficult for them to lose key players, you just have to be happy as a City player, except of course if you are not getting playing time, and Bernado Silva is getting enough of it.
