Tottenham have just got ahead 1-0 by Harry Kane's penalty goal. The match between them and Arsenal started quite balanced actually but it is 1-0 now. I'm curious about how Arsenal will be answering this. This is a very important match for both of these teams so Arsenal must be able to get one point at worst here. It'd be enough for them to keep the four-point difference with Tottenham in the standings.

I'm so upset with the Referee, why didn't he look into VAR. I couldn't see where Arsenal flopped in defending the ball and if you replay it, it even looks like Devies did a foul but wasn't look at.
It is not over until it when Referee blow the final whisle, I elieve in Arsenal that they will do better to equalize this before the second half and by the time they come the remaining half time, it will be offensive match for Tottenham.

Can I ask you a question? what is the essence of these many wallets you installed, security-wise is not safe for your bitcoins, you are just still on the Testnet and it is all confusing. If your intention was to get bitcoin out of an exchange, a single wallet on your PC is okay, with that you can generate as many as many wallet addresses you want but a hardware wallet should be your plug.

Now, back to your wallets, it is possible there is a mixed up in your passphrase, you should know that there is no passphrase that is wrong. There is a difference between Helloworld and helloworld, you will get two different wallet results with that two passphrases. If you are sure that the faucet transaction you did on the testnet was successful, try and view the wallet address on the testnet explorer if the bitcoin you sent is there, then from there you can check where there is mixed up in your recovery + passphrase

Juventus really demonstrated well in the first half that made many people to concluded that the final will end up for their favour because of the way they started the match. They where leading the game in the first half before inter coach went to introduced more new strategies in the second half that made them to achieved victory at the end of the match. Juventus coach need to prepare the team how to remain stronger both first half and second half so that what happened in this season will not happen to them in next season.

It's not like their position is a ticking time bomb, they're doing OK, their previous performance was outstanding as out 8, and they only lost two games. What they need to do now is win their final two matches. They don't need to be that concerned since Lazio, the closest team to Juventus will be unable to catch them if they win their remaining matches. If you do the arithmetic, Juventus is 7 points ahead of Lazio, but winning their two difficult matches will only give them 6 points. So, we can say that Juventus is going to the champions League.

In few minutes time, Tottenham vs Arsenal will kick off, I'm ready to watch how the match will go. I'm not an Arsenal fan, but I really want to see them qualify for the Champions League next season, and based on their recent performances, I have a feeling they won't let me down. If they can beat Chelsea, Manchester United, and West Ham, then Tottenham is just a minor to bench for the UCL next season. I believe that if Arsenal wins today's match, they will have a good chance of qualifying for the Champions League.

This is not true the way you put it. This was the tweet that came out earlier about some Luna holders who committed suicide due to the losses they encountered in Luna saga. This is more like investment gone wrong than trading as you claimed.



If you are good trader, there should be a good management risk in your trades, there are dozen packs of traders that are enjoying shorting the markets and have made huge amount of money from it, just because markets is dumping doesn't mean traders are not making money, only the holders do feel the pain especially the Altcoins holders, bitcoin is always fine as it always goes up.

Atletico Madrid have just started to play their game against Elche. It is important for Atletico Madrid to defeat their opponent because they wouldn't like to give another opportunity to Betis to catch up with them. They had a six-point gap normally but it is three now after Betis defeated Valencia. Atletico Madrid can do this as long as they play decently. Elche are not a too difficult opponent for them.

Elche wasn't that tough to Atletico Madrid and they were able to slide 2 goals to them and have given another 3 additional points gap to Betis, but they are not that far away from Sevilla, it is just a 1 point difference. It will take Sevilla a little work out to Win Mollarco that is relegation zone and come bak to the third place they are, infact that's the spot they have been maintaining since the start of the league, i don't expect them to give up at the end of the league.

I will just have to say waow to this won ticket, only a legend can do this in over a night, but by the way, the story is incomplete. I have a seen a similar ticket played and won but the odd and the wage money was up to this amount and the guy did excellently and was able to cashout fine without any problem by the sportsbook but the problem issue is the player won't discuss with you unless that they have been here for long and they wouldn't tell you the histories of their losses, check the amounts of money they lost in tickets, they are always enormous and can accounts up to half what they win in real life though in this case, the story is different as the player bet with a penny.

Everton are such an unstable team that they can't even have a comfortable game against a team like Watford. Everton have a big opportunity to increase their chance not to relegate and Watford are already out of the league by next season. But Everton can't even win an easy game like this. They are trying but they are still too bad at finishing. It looks like it is going to end in a 0-0 draw. But they'd better be thankful for Chelsea as they beat Leeds.

This month has not really been in their favour, the beginning of April has been a difficult task for them, they only manage to win 2 matches out of 7 games they play till today, can't believe they had 13 corners in today's match and none were useful at all.
You are so sure about Watford remaining in the relegation zone, don't you think they will want to drag down Chelsea and Leicester City, especially when they know that Chelsea is struggling to maintain the third spot.

My mobile data was left on and I received a notification on my email that ltcgambler self moderate one of the thread he started on gambling discussing and deleted every replied post, it is now deleted, I try to go through the [Achive] thread, it was a nice discussion thread until he changed the subject to daily odd and prediction, later deleted the whole thread.

Why did you do that ltcgambler?



To do the main question, I open the notification email on my phone but while accessing Bitcointalk pm, I saw something new for the first time on my chrome browser.



Have you noticed this notification on your browser? Did I enabled any settings that I'm not aware?

I have gone through the other thread and this one and I get offended by some people who are against the Naija official board because they feel we don't have another official language except the English we were forced to speak but you guys don't live here in Nigeria. Here, hardly you find somebody who can read and write who doesn't understand what pidgin is all about, this is what we use to communicate with locals, traders, and local marketers who cannot flow with English and they all understand it regardless of how you put it, they always understand the pidgin.

The fact that one of the world's leading news organizations, BBC[1], gave us an Official Naija pidgin website to read through popular posts and what's going on in Nigeria demonstrates the importance of the pidgin language.

There is nothing bad in the video, just a marketing strategy making people believe that if CZ mum can call him a stupid kid and was able able to make it, they can do it too. I know that NAS guy and he has interviewed a couple of billionaires, some wealthy people who made the impossible become possible, some billionaires who were born and raise in trenches but now living large with huge steps in investments.
CZ was able to create a platform to unite people, collect their Identifications and Documents, and collect withdrawal fees. Today, he is among the crypto richest but since you and I don't want to get involved in centralization, buy and hold your Bitcoin on your wallet like satoshi advice.
Don't be like CZ.  Wink
2554  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Use P2P methods to sell your crypto in local currency. on: May 10, 2022, 04:52:46 PM
As your topic said, P2P, meaning it is pair-to-pair trading which means most of the time, but in this case, you may not trust the buyer, a middle person is always needed and it has to be a trusted person to avoid scam attempts by any of the traders. Most of the trades that happen here require an escrow (middle man) to ease transactions and sometimes, people do trust the other traders due to the reputation they built here but the bounty hunters are always clear of cheating, you hardly see them use an escrow or trade here on bitcointalk and you expect people to believe you.

I have seen cases where BNB between two accounts transactions are ignored but there is one dubious thing you see happening between two or sometimes up to 10 accounts( often operated by one person) sweep tokens from all the addresses into a single address and then send them to an exchange, these are most likely farming accounts that are robbing companies and making other participants earn less.

If not that they are always lying, we would have seen cases of the buyers running from with their tokens but you hardly see them complaining about that and these transactions are always input transactions without an output. If you feel you sold a token to a buyer, you should receive something in exchange for that like BNB, ETH and so on but no, it is always the buyer that always received tokens from different users.

The airport my drew my attention and all I could say is this is a mega project and it will take a lot of years to come to reality but I didn't see anything about FUNDING. I'm not an architect but I'm not sure if the market cap of Bitcoin alone can complete this project at the current price. From the tweet, there are more visual images that will require big budgets.
Another question, is the city decentralized in a such a way that any citizen from any part of the world will want to move there? I hope Mr governments and the UN elites wouldn't intrude when this project is complete.
2556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 10, 2022, 08:15:55 AM

I really don't know who is going to win the next match between Hertha and Stuttgart. Both teams have been really inconsistent this season but if we just look at the stats I think you will find that Hertha has certainly been a little better compared to Stuttgart. So I am not sure and it is really hard to predict anything.

The painful thing about the two team is that they haven't been playing any important league since January, it has been all about Bundesliga but sadly that they couldn't make it to even ordinary Europa League.
Dortmund will surely finish Heartha with cool goals, but I'm not sure if that will demote them to relegation zone where Stuttgart is already since they are already having 3 points ahead and if Stuttgart manage to win cologne, they will still be having the same points but Heartha will be ahead of them on the table due to their goal difference.

Quote
RB Leipzig should win their next match really easily because it is against a team that is in the relegation zone and will be relegated this season.

Don't think about it, didn't you see what Brighton did to Manchester united? Because a team isn't in the top four shouldn't be taken for granted.

You see, the people that were crying out loud and regretting that they didn't but when the price was down, it same peers of people will be the one shouting that the market is about to collapse, check them on any crypto talk platforms, they will be so blindly happy.
Instead of them to take the discount price and buy the amount they can, they will come back next bull cycle with another story on how they didn't take the advantage of this.

There is no perfect price to buy bitcoin, if there were, Elon would have waited for this moment before buying his bitcoins but instead they bought around 38k dollars. The goal is to buy and hold and wait for some times, that's the only way you can enjoy bitcoin, always aim for the long time and you will be willing t continue to hold.

I believe bitcoin would drop further to 30k or 29k dollars and maybe there we can decide whether it is the right time to buy.

You should have an evidence to backup you statement, you believe or you feel the price will crash more.

Topic: Old Nigeria Currencies Till date


INTRO
=====

How well do you know the of history Nigerian currency and which of the currency was the lowest denomination in your eye when you been begin know difference between stick candy and cabin biscuit? I know say old people they here and young lad also they here, so make we share some knowledge on how the country currency take reach where we dey today.
Nigeria's currency don changed and transitioned over some time due independency, civil war, changes in government, CBN policy to battle inflation, redesigning of the texture to battle money laundering and the quest to build one of the standard currencies around the world.
If I could remember very well, I once had an opportunity to go through my grandma's old stuff before she been kick bucket, they are so good at keeping old stuff even the ones they don't need again and guess what I found, I saw some shillings notes and coins in metal box that are no longer in circulation, it was small when compare with the current ones (that was round 2006) and the colour was so gleemed and smell like of old mint money but little did I know about our currency until I recently started doing some research on old Nigerian currencies and their date issued and year they were discarded.
How many old britished currencies did we used and the year they where created, what are the current ones use that are in circulation and which materials was that used and later been replaced are discussed.



THE BRITISH OLD COINS
==================
Right before we became an independent nation, Nigeria was using the cowries and beads to they exchange good and services but as colonial people carry their wahala come shows us say them sabi way of life and them better pass us, different ethnicity were forced to form as one and we begin the use of the british coins, thats was how the used of penny, pence and shillings begin, the date they were created and issued are all in the tale below.
After a few years, the materials used to make some of the coins was changed. In 1908, the material used to make the ½(Half) penny was changed from Aluminum to Cupro-Nickel, and in 1920, the penny and shillings coins were changed to Brazz.

Name of Coins|Date issued|Date Witdrawn|Material Used|
_________________|_________________|_________________|_________________|
1/10 penny| 1907 |1973|cupro-nickel |
_________________|_________________|_________________|_________________|
½(Half) penny| 1911 |1973|Aluminium|
_________________|_________________|_________________|_________________|
1 penny| 1907 |1973|cupro-nickel|
_________________|_________________|_________________|_________________|
3 pence| 1913 |1973|Silver|
_________________|_________________|_________________|_________________|
6 Pence| 1913 |1973|Silver|
_________________|_________________|_________________|_________________|
1 Shillings| 1913 |1973|Silver|
_________________|_________________|_________________|_________________|
6 Shillings| 1913 |1973|Silver|

Nb: The coins are listed in order of their Magnitude(value) and not their issued date in order to make it neat and readable


Some photos of British coins, some of which are presently up for auction and for sale on eBay.


THE BRITISH WEST AFRICA OLD NOTES
===========================
With some developments, 4 countries been joined body as one and formed the West African Currency Board (WACB) to create their own first bank note, with this notes, you can used it as an exchange to settle goods and service between Ghana, Gambia, Sierra lone and Nigeria. They introduce about 5 notes and which were unique in designed and were regulated under the british supervision.

Name of Note|Date issued|Date Witdrawn|
_________________|_________________|_________________|
1 Shillings| 1918 |1963|
2 Shillings| 1916 |1963|
10 Shillings| 1916 |1963|
20 Shillings| 1916 |1963|
5 Pounds| 1958 |1963|




After our Independency, the west Africa old notes were removed form circulation and our first coins and bank notes were created , much didn't change till now except for the coins that were withdrawn from circulation and changes  in some of Nigeria Bank notes from paper to polymer(#5,#10, #20 and #50). I didn't include the New notes because everyone here should be familiar with the polymer currencies and there is much difference between the old and the New, its just the texture designed and size. The Nigeria coins were discarded and withdrwans because they lack value, they couldn't buy anything in the society due to inflation just like the way #5 is no longer doing anything good in circulation.

It was a total destruction for Manchester United today. Brighton completely destroyed them 4-0. It was a lot worse than I expected for this game. I expected to see a proper resistance by Manchester United at least. But their serious defensive problems continued to be seen in this game also. Brighton scored three goals in only eleven minutes in the first moments of the second half. It must have been so horrible to watch that for their fans for sure.  Manchester United are just begging this season to end now.

When you think Manchester United are done with disappointing the fans, thats when they serve them another heart break, I wonder what they have to excite their fans next season without getting a ticket for next Champions League.
I was expecting them to flog Brighton but they ended up Brightening goals for opponent, what a terrible day for them, but the Europa League isn't a horrible place to be, and it's not really guaranteed that West Ham United will come near to where they are now, they could beat Norwich, but they can't beat Manchester City and Brighton, so Manchester United is safe in the Europa League next season.

this is great news, the FIFA world cup is the biggest football event in the world with billions of spectators waiting for their favorite country to compete, this is the perfect step to encourage mass adoption of crypto, congratulations algorand on your successful collaboration with FIFA.

It is a good sign that Altcoins are beginning to make progress with adoption through sponsorship and partnership but I prefer if it is Bitcoin, If they don't tell through a short description that Algo is an altcoin, many shouldn't know that it is an Altcoin but once they hear bitcoin, it will send the right message to viewers.  Grin
Anything that will foster the use of cryptocurrency is a green light for all, we will be delighted one day if all continue to follow the same steps as Algo, we will go far just like the way Fanntom did with Fomula.
