2501  Economy / Economics / Re: Can I take a loan to invest in bitcoin? on: January 22, 2023, 02:08:35 PM
My advice is the same with your advice. I don't like loans. I don't like borrowing money. I'm not comfortable knowing that I owe somebody a certain amount. But, who knows, if ever a time comes that I will have to borrow money, I might. However, it will never be for the sake of investment. It might be due to emergencies.  

But if somebody is to borrow money for the sake of investment, Bitcoin is a better choice especially in the middle of a bear season and if it is for long-term hodling.
Loans sometimes is necessary in the life of a man especially when the season or period you are facing is really tough, i would guess nobody likes to take loan and especially not for the purpose of an investment you are not certain about having profits. Sometimes a loan requires an additional interested for a specific period to pay back and you are expected not to violate the time limit given to you so if you now used this money for a crypto investments, even if it is bitcoin, who will know when or whether even if you will have a profit to pay back the loan. And if you use the borrow money for a long term investment in bitcoin during the bear season it will be better but who can loan you money for such long period of time.
2502  Economy / Speculation / Re: Did you sell off during the 21k price breach. on: January 21, 2023, 10:45:56 PM
Well I did begin to sell at 21k just a little bit. I think most people panic sell when others are talking about it. FUD start to kick in and we think we are being cautious by getting out. Personally, I don’t often follow the crowd and I tend to hold long but that’s because I try and put my money behind investments I truly believe in.

This includes bitcoin for example. I think if you really like an investment, you don’t get swept up by the fear because you trust your gut and you know you have a winner if you can just wait it out.
I'm not going to sell it for fear of missing the opportunity to sell it for a high price, but I have to sell it when I really need the money urgently after some other considerations. I don't think $21K is a high price to sell some or all of your bitcoins but if you really need it then you can sell it anytime as long as you understand and consider it well.

Holders are winners, but we don't have to be holders forever for any reason. We need money and we also need to enjoy life, so taking profits at the right time is the reason why you invest, but it's not the only one.
I totally agree with you on this, but with what I have seen is like everyone just says that are going to hodl tiil the next bull run. But i feel this must not be the same with everyone, as i sold some of mine today owing to the fact that, i was in dire need of cash and i sold a little to settle this issues. The  price today was really something to smile about as btc is slowly climbing upwards and now up 23k today but many still see this current uptrend as a trap and feel that bitcoin is going to fall back to 16k as the propose year for the speculated rise has not reach @2024 halving
2503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: January 21, 2023, 10:33:30 PM


The club and Nassr have been at the top of the discussion since the signing of Club Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.  All competitive games are held in Saudi Arabia with various clubs.  A few days ago, Saudi Arabian club and Nassr did not have such a storm of discussion, but Cristiano Ronaldo signed a contract with this club.  It has even been seen that there were few journalists coming to Nassr every week and now the massive journalist wedding has seen the full contribution of Cristiano Ronaldo to the club's press coverage.  However, the club will come forward in terms of the game because Ronaldo, as the world's best star, will try to teach everyone a good lesson after joining this club.  The club and Nassr players will also be updated in terms of the game.
That is correct and this means that Al Nassar has not made a bad deal by brining Ronaldo to Saudi
They have spent millions on Ronaldo and earned billions.
Arab know how to earn profit and how to turn things in their favour

C Ronaldo is a man loved so many people and he is an influencial.person when it comes to the game of football(soccer). Sadui Arabia have really made the correct decision in signing ronaldo. This Ronaldo deal will bring so many good deed to the Saudi Arabia league as many of football attention will be shifted the saudi league because of
ronaldo,as people are always in anticipation to watch the living legend. This world record singing of Ronaldo has exposed the saudi league to the world including my self
2504  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: The fuel crisis issue in Nigeria and what I found out. on: January 21, 2023, 10:05:43 PM
Conspicuously speaking I am yet to still believe that a country as big as Nigeria does not have a functional refinery that could be able to refine all crude oil. I wonder why taking it outside country to refine and then bring a buy products to her citizens. I think our country are really going backwards because as a country as larger as Nigeria should have built a functioning refinery to reduce excessive waste of products and resources .
And the most annoying part is that, is not as if the government are not seeing this nonsense that is going on in the country but they have choice to feed themselves and their family alone
. Nigeria, the propose giant of Africa, sometimes i wonder how it looks in the eyes of the politicians because if you are aware that your nation is an oil producing country, it will be only proper to take all these momey and make arrangements for a fully functional refinery that can refined our crude products.

2506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 21, 2023, 05:30:28 PM
Here's my prediction for today!

CRYSTAL PALACE vs NEWCASTLE

It is true that a match controlled by the visitors is expected, however, Crystal Palace is a team that plays offensive football and has enough arguments to endanger the defense of the visiting team. It is my belief that the most likely scenario for this match will be the existence of several goals.

Above 2,5 Goals

Let me know what do you think about this game!

I dont think that much goals will be scored in this game, newscatle is a team that dont concede much goals and with the current struggle for newscatle to finish fourth has seen them to very careful with their game. I think newscatle is just going to win by a goal to nil that is 0-1 in favour of newcastle. I have placed a bet on my account for them to win and i beleive there are going to deliver. I know crystal palace will be in a high spirit after having that late equalizer in their game between united but i think newscatle is going to go defensive and hit them through counter attack.
2507  Economy / Economics / Re: How is the cost of living in your country? on: January 20, 2023, 07:37:17 PM
The cost of living in my country is so high that we no longer complain about it anymore. We try to just survive. To keep our heads above water for the next 36days when we will take to the polls to vote out the bad leaders that have brought untold and unbearable hardship to the common man and woman while they take the wealth of the nation to abroad and stash it foreign bank accounts.
You have really spoke my mind because even if we complain about this high cost of things, we still see things get worse, worse and more worse so the best thing to do is to just do what humans are best known for,  which is the ability to adapt to all changes. The price of things in my country are gotten so worst that the average man now needs to tripple his hustle in other for one to survive. Well the opportunity to vote out this bad leaders in the country is the only hope we have for things to  go a positive way as the major problem in the country is seemingly due to the leaders and the heavy toll of corruption they have inplaced in the country.
2508  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: It's a shame people still falling for this on: January 20, 2023, 07:22:02 PM
Only greedy people fall for such tricks. Those aren't new tricks anyway. Why will anyone want to reap where they didn't sow? The first time I saw that in one of the numerous telegram groups I was subscribed to was in 2021. It didn't move me a bit even though it was my first experience with such. The reason being that I've a mindset that nothing is ever free, both online and off it. There's always a catch. I always want to find out what the catch is. I was proved right a few weeks after that when someone complained of how they were duped through that method. Don't expect a philanthropist in this industry. They don't exist.
True. Only those people who have high desires for money will eventually fall for this because even if they know it would be impossible, but they would still try out everything wishing they would be lucky enough. Wishing there’s always free and there are shortcuts for them to get rich, and that’s how they starting falling on scams. However, if they have rich mindset and would work first before they focus on greed, maybe there are chances that they will still succeed and get rich in the future.
I think even the new comers to the crypto world can be trick not only greedy people, sometimes your  curiousity can get the most of you and if you are careful enough before you know it you have fallen to these scams. But for the old and well exposed people in the crypto space, i think its only their greed of money that can lead them to finding out what is fully behind the huge money proposed in these scams, to see if they can actually claim it and get rich all of sudden.
2509  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: As a Nigeria stop selling yourself short on: January 20, 2023, 05:53:34 PM
Well we Nigerians are known for one thing and that is the spirit and ability to cope and use it as our best advantage even in the worstest of situations. All though, our country dey pass through many challenges but selling ourselves out isn't the best way to go about it in anyway. make we calm down look some bad country wey even worse pas us but still yet its citizens are trying their best to promote their image because we self go follow heal our problems wey dey for the country. Nigerians, i would say are the most talented and gifted people world wide when its comes to all types of field in life.
2510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 20, 2023, 04:10:06 PM

It even show from the start of the season. Manchester City's aggressiveness looks increasingly difficult to stop, their agreement to bring in Erling Haland and several other new players has succeed in making Manchester City more aggressive and of course ambitious to defend their EPL title.
Manchester City's only concern in the EPL at the moment is Arsenal
I personally don't feel arsenal is a problem to manchester city because at some stage in this season i feel arsenal are going to backslide and Manchester City is going to overtake them like they have always done in their past battles for the title. Remember arsenal still have Manchester United to play this weekend and i feel they are going to drop a point or two in their tough games. Manchester City on the other hand are really hungry and are willing to destroy any team that comes their even if it's arsenal and for now,  no team in the epl can withstand Manchester City not even arsenal.
2511  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC bulls back? on: January 20, 2023, 02:30:47 PM
Even though this is a bull trap, we are seeing the price rise to $21k and on its way to $22k. And whether it will achieve today, tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow, our profits will increase. But some say that this time is a bull trap coming. And after this, the price will go down again. Whether it is a bull trap or a real uptick in bitcoin, we must remain vigilant and not let our guard down because anything can happen. It is also possible that now is the recovery phase for bitcoin before it jumps to the last ATH and creates a new ATH.
This price hike is actually win - win situation for some individuals that are ready to utilize it. Everyone keeps saying that the sudden rise in the price of bitcoin is a trap but I don't see it that way,  you are the one with the investment you can choose to collect the additional profit in your investment due to the price rise or you can just wait and hold till a major bull run is experienced which can eventually lead to ATH but no ones know when that's gonna happen, everyone is speculating its going to be 2024 and this sudden rise is the starting of recovery for bitcoin towards its expected and speculated bull run.

Well noted OP thanks for the heads up, although i have come across so many people in my neighborhood that have been bitterly complaining on how there account have hacked and their money stolen. I myself have personal given some lessons to some persons in my area on what to do and what not to do when dealing with  random text or calls from unknown numbers. Just recently, i had to help convinced my friend on not actually sending money to a potential scammer promising him alot and a job offer but first he had to pay for reservations on spot in the company.  It took me some time to finally convinced him. They many scammers and hackers out there so we should all be careful
2513  Economy / Economics / Re: My investments ahead of the 2024 halving 100% Bitcoin on: January 19, 2023, 10:38:59 PM
Many people have different sentiment and different reasoning about their portfolio and investment. Many people go for altcoins. Sometimes they can be lucky and make x20 or above and sometimes they are unlucky and lose. If you are not ready for the drama, simply remain with bitcoin. Op if the 90% you said is in bitcoin is the 90% of all your money, you are so wrong. Don't invest more than you can afford to lose.
I certainly am not ready to take the chances with investing in any altcoin thats why am sticking and going with my bitcoin investments. The trending story that have going on with so many altcoin has given me an awareness that i can lose when investing in altcoin. I think investing in any coin depends on how you feel about the coins, i will certainly not put my money on something am not Ok with. And I Dont invest what I Dont have so i won't be affected by my investment. Many people even go as far as borrowing money to make an investment which i think is very wrong.

2516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 19, 2023, 05:12:40 PM
I agree with you, Manchester City will definitely not lose points in this match. There is a lot of points difference with Arsenal but they still need to beat a strong team like Tottenham to maintain their second place. Tottenham's performance has decreased in recent weeks and they have started to lose points.
Manchester City will take 3 points in this match and increase the point gap with Manchester United Smiley
With a win, Manchester City could move to within 5 points of Arsenal. And then they have 1 game more, so the situation is not that good. But they can't lose a game if they want to be in the fight for the championship, that's for sure. City lost their last two games and Tottenham dropped points against Arsenal, so both teams are a little demotivated. A head-to-head of the two teams = 55 wins City, 55 wins Tottenham and 32 draws. This statistic is the past but it still shows the actual situation between the two teams.
If Manchester City is to comfortably continue to fight for the English Premier League title, they need to start winning all matches and this weekend's winning is important for them because if they drop points that means Arsenal will be climbing and increasing the point difference. As they are playing they should also wish that Manchester United should win Arsenal to give them more chances
Manchester City are used to handling situation like this, if its one thing i know about Manchester City is the ability to cover up points in their fight for the league title and i think the team under pressure is actually arsenal because they will be very careful and cautious not to loss any point in this fight for the league title owning to the fact that its been a long time they actually face such situations while Manchester City on the other hand are fund of coming back from behind and collecting the title. They perform the same feat last when they cover all the point of Liverpool and actually surpassed them and became the champions of the league.

Well, thats the whole thing about crypto. na only speculation person fit use dey get follow up and the thing about speculation be say every body get their own views to talk wey fit no be even true. According to popular trending speculations on bitcoin going up, base on previous research and experience in bitcoin, it is expected to go up again and possibly hitting the all time record again in 2024 and this is said because of the previous experience with the four years interval of the rising of bitcoin known as the halving and i feel maybe nai make we dey experience this small rise of bitcoin as senior don already give us a little heads up @brainboss.
2518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 18, 2023, 10:27:50 PM
Its currently 1-1 draw,  crystal palace has found an equalizer in the 90th minutes of play and Manchester United will be very disappointed in their self for not sealing the victory since from the first half. Crystal has played really well and despite the posesion have still managed to shock united with a goal and i think they will be satisfied with the draw and united just need to buckle and get ready for a more tougher fixture with the gunners

Something wrong happened with Man United in the 2nd half. They were dominating ball possession indeed but Crystal Palace were able to create more goal attempts and finally scored a late equalizer goal. I have no idea what was wrong with Man United in the 2nd half, did Ten Haag made wrong substitutions that make the game/strategy failed to work like in the 1st half? Weghorst was not playing as expected but it is reasonable as it is his debut and he needs more time to prove his capacity to the team but Rashford seems to be out of his best performance. He lost ball so many times, his movements were so easy to be predicted by Crystal Palace's players. I did not see his spirit like what he showed against Man City last week.
Yeah the second half was a really poor half for united, i think maybe the one goal lead made them over confident and maybe they feel they have won the game by scoring first, their performance never looked as if they were striving to score another goal and Crystal Palace exploited this fault and manage to share the spoils with united. I think this we serve as a lesson to learn. Their game with arsenal will be a very interesting game to match and hopefully they will correct the mistake they did even if the fault might have come from ten hag and the choices and decisions he took, what is important is that a win is really needed against arsenal if they want to be contenders in this years title race.
2519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 18, 2023, 09:58:25 PM
Finally Manchester United managed to score one goal  before the halftime and they currently lead Crystal palace by 1 goal a beautiful set piece from Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes utilize the opportunity to put  Manchester United ahead from away.

Good chances created by Manchester United but it's unfortunate they couldn't make good use of the chances to score plenty goals. United goalkeeper needs to be applauded for saving that fantastic strike that would have resulted to a goal by the Palace player Eduardo.

Great goal from Manchester who directed the action well and a great shot from Bruno left the goalkeeper no way out.  I think they will win the match easily even though ip Crystal has played a good game so far.  let's see how it ends.

Manchester United is playing a good football no doubt but the game is not going to be an easy win for them looking at the pressure and serious attacks they are getting from the Crystal palace players. The goal attempts from Palace is a good indication that shows the good performance of the home side despite United doing a great job in the defense I still believe the game is not over yet we may see a surprised come back from the home team.
Its currently 1-1 draw,  crystal palace has found an equalizer in the 90th minutes of play and Manchester United will be very disappointed in their self for not sealing the victory since from the first half. Crystal has played really well and despite the posesion have still managed to shock united with a goal and i think they will be satisfied with the draw and united just need to buckle and get ready for a more tougher fixture with the gunners
2520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eredivisie 22/23 - discussion thread on: January 18, 2023, 05:26:25 PM
Ajax vs Feyenoord is the same have equal odds, that possible Feyenoord will win the match if can hold in what the does before, but still the draw is interesting to put it match.

Hmmm, do you intend to lose your money again, mate? Previously you made a betting choice by selecting Groningen when they played against Feyenoord, and you lose. If you're a wise bettor, you should choose Ajax Amsterdam rather than having to choose Feyenoord or a draw. With the current Eredivisie standings condition, OFC Ajax will put pressure on Feyenoord in their match later.
I don't think a draw in this match is actually a bad prediction owing to the fact that ajax have been struggling to win games and recently played a nil-nil draw with twente  making a two straight draw in their league. Feyenoord on the other hand are currently sitting first in the league and have a better form than Ajax and even have a slight better chance in Winning this match between the two teams that are playing. So predicting the gane a draw is not a bad prediction and one more thing, football is actually full of surprises what you expect is not actually what is played.
