That would then mean you trusting your lawyer with your funds, that is not so much of an easy thing to do especially when the sum involved is a pretty large sum, coupled with the fact the the Bitcoin network is a 'trustless' one, it would of course be much better to 'trust' the network rather than an individual. IMO, it would be better to go with a trustless method, and even if i decide not to, i would rather give my keys/phrase to my spouse and siblings than leave it with someone outside of the family. But having said that, we all come from different families, thus it is still up to every individual to decide how they would want to go about this thing.

Whenever there is a general drop in prices of cryptocurrency, FUD is bound to set in amongst different investors, and this causes them to sell out of panic. Well, for altcoin hodlers that is prolly the best thing to do, altcoins are short term projects, and you should not try to hold them through a bear market, sell them as soon as possible, even if you are at a loss, it is much better you leave with something, cause you could decide to hodl it, waiting for it to pump again, whereas that is the end of the coin.

Having said that, Bitcoin investors should know better, Bitcoin is a long term project, and if you want to speculate with its price, you have to expect returns in the long run, people who are usually affected by correction/plunge phases like this are get rich quick investors who aren't quite knowledgeable about the network, another section of people who get too worried are also people who go contrary to the rule of thumb of "do not invest more than you can afford to lose", such people can't basically watch their life savings keep dropping, it can do a lot of damage to their health, thus once there is a general drop in the market, they sell immediately, even when they are at a loss.

What an end to a thrilling premier league season we are going to have tomorrow, it just had to boil down to the final day, and to be honest, whatever is the outcome, both Liverpool and City can hold their heads pretty high. City take on Villa at the Etihad, while Liverpool play Wolves at Anfield, in my opinion both Liverpool and City are going to win their respective games, which will of course see City retain their title, and claim their fourth EPL crown in five years in the process, that is indeed a massive feat, and pep and his boys deserve an awful amount of credit.

I am pretty sure there is going to be no drama tomorrow, some people are calling on Gerrard to fire his boys up to beat City for Liverpool, and some other people are suggesting we could have a dramatic end like we had some ten years again when Aguero scored and City won the title with 90 seconds left on the clock; none of that will happen tomorrow, it is going to be a straightforward win for City.

Of course as the final edges ever closer, the discussion ahead of the game gets more serious as well, in my opinion Real win this one, the way and manner in which they have evaded elimination right from the RO16 till now is phenomenal to say the very least, at some point it more or less seems like it has already been written in the skies that they are going to be champions of Europe this season. They would be going into that game with a very strong mentality, prolly a stronger one than Liverpool, especially if City win the EPL tomorrow, the pressure would fall back heavily on Liverpool, cause they would know the CL remains their only chance of a major silverware this season.
The first and second on your list are achievable for Benzema on the 28th of May, depending on the outcome of the match, both on a personal and team level; but as for the last one, there is no way to be certain that Benzema would win the next Ballon d'or if Madrid wins the CL this season, i know it will place him in a very strong position, but there is still a lot of football to be played this year, and there is the WC as well in Qatar.

Who is the thief here by the way, if you ask me it is the person who is trying to import someone else's funds with their recovery phrase, thus i wouldn't mind if they turn out to be in the receiving end in their attempt to steal. If you try to steal from someone else and get robbed in the process, it is fair enough to say you can have no complaints right?

Yes, since the investor would be investing over a certain (long) period of time, they obviously should have the intention of hodling whatever asset it is for the long term. Short term investors are all about going in all at once with a large sum and hope for a pump around that time so they could pull out with their profit, that is a very risky strategy, especially for newcomers who are just investing in an asset for the first time. If one is patient enough, and is ready to stick to their DCA plan religiously, then they would prolly be able to grow something really worthwhile in the long run, without really stressing their finances in the short period, which is the best part of it all.

Thank you for the kind words mate. To be honest i am more confident of the outcome of this request than i previously was, i am pretty sure sooner rather than later we would get an update (hopefully positive) from the admin. I am also sure quite a lot of us never expected our request to be granted immediately, those of us that have been around for quite a long while know that it takes time before 'new things' are implemented in the forum, so on the strength of that we can be somewhat certain that the silence we are currently greeted with doesn't denote a no for an answer to our request.

Having said that, everyone should just go about their business of contributing to the forum with as much effort they can offer, and also to keep the local thread active as we wait for some sort of response from the admin.

I can't see Spurs losing to already relegated Norwich on the last day of the season, so sorry to Arsenal fans, but it seems it is going to be Europa League football for them next season, it is a really disappointing end to the season for Arsenal, they had their destiny in their own hands, but two losses in their last two games have put Spurs back in the driving seat and only needing just a point against Norwich to qualify for the CL next season. I feel really sorry for Arteta, he did a very nice job this season, but he couldn't put the icing on the cake with CL football next season, what the gunners have to do now is to pick/dust themselves up and start getting ready to compete next season.

Making Bitcoin a legal tender wouldn't help them actually, don't get me wrong, if it was in my power i would wish every country to make Bitcoin a legal tender. But to think about it, a country struggling with inflation wouldn't or rather shouldn't think about accepting an alternative currency, i don't think or see how that can help their situation at all. So i am pretty sure the Argentine government aren't considering the above i'm afraid.

They were really good last season to say the least, tbh they looked like a team that was going to stay in the league and become a regular mid-table team, but it doesn't look to be so, from my assessment they are going to be relegated, while Burnley and Everton would be 'saved'. I think right from the start of this season it was obvious Leeds were in trouble, Bielsa was no longer getting things right, his team didn't just lose games, they conceded quite a lot of goals in the process; a new coach was brought in, but they were already well on their way to the Championship by then.

Having said that, the good thing for their fans is that their team is not too bad, and if they only manage to lose a few players if they get relegated, then they can return back to the EPL sooner rather than later.

I think Everton will stay up, prior to the Brentford loss they picked up vital wins and that is what has kept them in a strong position to escape the drop, and as i view things at the moment, they would not get relegated, i strongly believe they would win their next game, and that would be enough to keep them in the EPL for at least another season. Leeds look like the team that is going to complete the trio heading back to the Championship, Burnley have a much better chance of staying up, and except a miracle happens, it is going to be goodbye to Norwich, Watford and Leeds.

I do not believe this rumor, Mane doesn't look unhappy at Liverpool, as a matter of fact why would he be unhappy, just take a look at what Liverpool have achieved this season, and he has been pivotal and as important as any other player in their pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple. What sort of 'appreciation' did the 'expert' particularly talk about, because it makes no sense to me, the Liverpool faithful love Mane, just as much as they love Salah, and every other player that represents their club, and in every team there is always a fan favorite, a player the fans tend to love slightly more than others, and many times it doesn't mean such player is the best in the team.

Footballers are complete professionals, they do not worry about things such as this, as long as the team is winning trophies, and they are getting game time and also being paid well, then they cannot have any problems at all. Even if Mane is going to leave Liverpool, it isn't going to be for a reason as frivolous as this.

It is funny how people are calling on Gerrard to help Liverpool beat City with Villa, there is nothing much Gerrard can do other than send his boys out like he does in every matchday and hope they put up a good performance, and that is the same thing he is going to do on the final game of the season when they face City, Gerrard isn't going to magically imbibe them with the needed quality to beat City, that's not possible.

Having said that, for people who want Villa to win City so Liverpool can win the league, i am sorry, that's not going to happen, City are going to be too strong for Villa on that day, and i am pretty sure there is not going to be any drama, it is going to be a straightforward win and City will be crowned champions.

Some users would say it depends somewhat on the rank of the user, for example a newbie would prolly be overly excited to get a couple of merits here and there cause it helps them rank up (and tbh, every user wants to rank up, even if they claim otherwise), and a Legendary user would be happy to receive merits cause it shows someone likes/appreciates/think what they wrote is good/recognizes their efforts, etc, even if it does nothing for them in the grand scheme of things (as they have no other ranking up to do), except that it allows them apply for good campaigns that have a merit criteria (like x amount of merits in the last 120 days).

Overall the merit system is great for the forum, it combats spam and reduces it to a large extent, though it doesn't eradicate it which is not possible, but it has a really positive impact, and any user should feel great when they get some, except those who totally do not care about the merit system (whether sending or receiving).

Is that the latest rumor on the future of Mbappe, this is complete rubbish, prolly the worst of all the rumors on the next move of the French man, i am completely unaware of this as i have not seen it anywhere else other than here, it is even crazy to suggest that Mbappe would end up in United, a club currently in their worst at the moment, that would be a terrible move for his career. To be honest it is impossible, rather than move to United he is better of at PSG, they (PSG) are in the CL, United are not, and they can offer him more money than United can, If Mbappe is leaving Paris, it would definitely be to Madrid.

I second that, Real Madrid deserve all the congratulations they are getting, no doubts about that, but it was really easy for them to win the league this season, their rivals Barcelona started really poorly, and all credit to Real Madrid for capitalizing on it and racing far away from everyone in the race for the title, that is what big teams do, and Real Madrid did it to perfection this season, and that is why they are champions.

I am pretty sure next season would be different though, i am not saying Real Madrid are not capable of winning it again next season, of course they can, the point is just that next season is going to be more difficult, Barcelona are finishing this season on a high, and that would give them extra motivation coming into next season, there would be a stronger competition for the title next season i'm sure.

Hell i had never seen the above thread till now, never had the idea you actually wanted to stop being 'The Pharmacist', lol . I skimmed through the replies on the thread, and from what i get you never got any answer whatsoever, well that is strange, especially for someone of your reputation. Did you ever get to give Theymos your reason for wanting to change your username? Or you didn't get the chance to since he never replied in the first place?

I am thinking the problem could have been the timing, maybe you asked at a time Theymos was prolly busy or less inclined to make any such change for users, i can't see any other reason, first you are an established user, and from my deduction you never actually had the chance to tell Theymos the reason, so the claim of 'the reason wasn't susbstantial' can't suffice. Why don't you try asking again bro? How about that, well that is if you consider it important of course.

Of course that is not a problem for me my bro, i do not and have never practiced political apathy, i always vote, and i am going to do same again come next year's general elections. I just do not feel too optimistic about the outcome, maybe the problem is with me and i am just a pessimistic guy, or maybe you prolly share in my indifference and understand a tad bit of what my worries are. This coming general election is really going to be a pivotal one for our nation, Nigerians are already fed up, and i really hope whoever emerges as the winner actually does a good job or else he would struggle to keep the nation together, cause he would be under immense pressure.

It depends a whole lot on the individual in question, personally i would buy a house, do not forget that i could also lease/rent my house out at anytime, and make money from it, but that is by the way. I know quite a lot of us believe in Bitcoin, but in life there are prolly somethings that should be primary, if the house is of utmost importance to you and your family, then the decision should be an absolute no-brainer, you just have to get the house, as long as you have a job in RL and you are hardworking, you will definitely be able to save up something sometime later to invest in Bitcoin. And do not forget you do not have to invest in Bitcoin all at once with a huge sum, that is even a risky thing to do, thus if you buy your house, you can use Dollar Cost Averaging to grow a Bitcoin portfolio, it doesn't matter if you are even investing $30/$40/$50 per week or something around that amount, it would turn into something in the long run.

Since you're in two minds on what to do, it could mean the stipulated sum is nearly all you have, then you shouldn't even consider using it up for Bitcoin investment, lest you invest far more than you can afford to lose.

That is one pro Bitcoin has over gold, but remember that if you must speculate with Bitcoin you have to expect great ROI in the long run, as Bitcoin doesn't really maintain its value for a long period of time like gold, it is volatile, and short term investors sometimes lose their funds and do not make any returns, gold on the other hand is a store of value/safe haven asset, and that is one pro gold has over Bitcoin. I am just trying to point out that the two have advantages over the other.
Gold is physical, but you could still own gold and nobody would know you do so, it is up to you, there are Bitcoin users who tell everyone they own Bitcoins as well, i think this point depends a whole lot on the user/how they use their asset.
