261  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Coinomi wallet hacked, all funds stolen on: March 06, 2023, 02:26:21 PM
The wallet was drained on Feb 14th.  The password was in my head not on paper.  The seed phrase was on paper in a safe which only I have access to.  Coinomi denies all responsibility and basically says too bad so sad.  My wife and I are retired, the wallet held our "safe" retirement cash savings.  Stay away from this wallet. 

It's hard to tell if it's their fault or yours, sometimes, you keep your password and seed phrase safe, but the chance of your device getting a virus is also possible. But you were careless in the beginning, you should get yourself a hardware wallet instead of using online software wallet frequently.

I don't think you need multiple wallets. If you have a lot of BTC, just get a proper cold wallet. If you have a diversified portfolio just keep it safe and make sure you're using, again, a proper wallet.

If using a hardware wallet, we only need 1 hardware wallet, but if you do not use a hardware wallet but instead a software wallet, the use of 2 to 3 wallets is necessary. I am also using 3 wallets to hold my bitcoins safe. In there is 1 wallet that is always offline, and that is the main wallet where I store all my assets.

well that's true. Even though Liverpool made a surprise in the Premier League by beating MU with an extraordinary score of 7-0. but that does not mean Liverpool will also play well in the Champions League. But if Liverpool really have found their best game then of course they still have a chance to beat Real Madrid even though it seems slim. because Liverpool should win by more goals. But Real Madrid, who will play as the host in the second leg, will of course also show their best game in front of their own supporters. So Real Madrid definitely don't want to lose this match and I also feel that it is most likely that Real Madrid will qualify for the next round. but we don't know if there will be any surprises in the second leg later.
Agree with what you say that if Liverpool really has found their best game it will be a big surprise that Real Madrid should be careful. Because Liverpool's victory at Anfield, which defeated Man United, will motivate them to rise from adversity. The reason is that Real Madrid is still not completely consistent and their match against Barcelona has made Liverpool ambitious to be able to improve their performance again. Facing an opponent who is in a burning condition like Liverpool is automatically a tough task for Ancelotti so that his troops are alert.

Liverpool played well against Manchester United no doubt. It was very difficult to score 7 goals against a big team like United. Even then I wouldn't say Liverpool has found their best form. I have no confidence in Liverpool's performance. Liverpool won 9-0 against Bournemouth. After that, they continued to perform well in 2/3 matches, but then they lost the truck again. A good performance against United does not guarantee that they will be able to maintain such dominance in the upcoming matches.

It was unexpected to see Monaco losing points against Troyes as well. I was seeing it a clear win for Monaco side. This is the second game in a row for them in which they lose points. They need to collect themselves not to fall behind Marseille too much.
This was a very unexpected result for Monaco. Troyes is one of the weakest teams in Ligue 1. It was unexpected that Monaco would lose points in this match. However, Troyes' performance against Monaco was not weak. Troyes played very well. And they definitely deserve 1 point in this match. Monaco should have performed more cautiously. Monaco would have been able to get full points in the match if they had kept their defense strong from the beginning of the match.
Monaco has been playing well recently and whenever a club plays well for a long time they have the tendency to lose or draw, so it understandable that Monaco draws with Troyes because they cannot continue to win.
What matter s next is the ability of Monaco to continue in their good form after this weekend in order to remain consistent to a permissible level of engagement.

In the last two matches, we did not get a better performance than Monaco. They shared points with Troyes. And in the previous match, they lost 3-0 against Nice. In both of these matches, Monaco has had a lot of trouble scoring goals, despite having a lot of attacking power. At the same time, their defense is very shaky. If Monaco wants to get back on track, they should definitely look to tighten up their defense. If the defense is not strong then they will lose more points in the coming matches.

But United has a very poor preparation due to the loss in the competition against Liverpool, you would normally say that will also be in the heads of the players.
I doubt this will be the case for Manchester United. Their defeat will pass and it will be a lesson for them in order to not repeat it. Real Betis is a good team and they will annoy ManU for sure but the latter is better and I expect the red devils to pass personally.
I guess, Manchester united coach has learned a lesson from that game that made Liverpool to defeated Manchester united 7-0 in the premier league competition never to allow such mistakes to happen in this UEFA Europa league competition. Manchester united will do what will make their fans happy to believe that their new coach is able and capable to help the team to achieve many trophies in this season.
Manchester United's players attacked a lot in the first half of the game. Although Manchester United got a goal into Liverpool's goal post, the goal was disallowed for offside.  Then from the beginning of the game, after half time, Manchester United's defeat began, Liverpool attacked the total (8-10). The remaining 7 balls hit the goal post. And the game was at Liverpool's home ground so Liverpool performed very well.

The match was very competitive in the first half. The players of both teams have performed very well. and attacked to score. The match was very entertaining. Liverpool scored their first goal in the 43rd minute. And at the end of the first half they were leading 1-0. However, Liverpool dominated the runners-up from the start. Manchester United's players looked aimless in the second half. Manchester United can not build any resistance in front of Liverpool's attack. And they conceded 6 consecutive goals in the second half.

United Arab Emirates vs Nepal
In this united States Tri-Nation series Nepal face United Arab Emirates where Nepal won the toss and decided to take bat first in order to build target. Nepal look not really good because they just score 154 and lose his 6th wicket in 39th over, which is not a decent traget to defend against the strong batting lineup of United Arab Emirates. In entire Nepal scoreboard only Bhim Sharki manage to score half century rather them him no one perform good. But I think it's confirmed that they UAE will win this match too against Nepal just like previous one.

After losing 6 wickets for only 124 runs, Nepal collected 229 runs at the end of 50 overs. Responsible batting by Bhim Sharki and Arif Sheikh helped Nepal to collect 229 runs. And I would say a target of 230 on this pitch is enough to win if the bowlers don't perform badly. The Nepal team was defeated by UAE in the previous match. They did not make the same mistake in this match. The performance of the batsmen in the previous match was very poor. But the batsmen of Nepal batted very well in this match.

I would prefer not to let any money I have sit idly by in a bank account. I would prefer to use it and put it into an investment or into a venture capital. the point is I always want to make my money continue to grow by continuing to make it move as capital. either business capital or investment capital. one of the investments is in crypto. but that's only a small part. and my money is mostly bought into a property and even goods or products that I can resell for a small profit or even a double profit. buying a product in large quantities (wholesale) and then I resell it by retailing it also makes more profits. basically a lot of business that I do. the point is I keep getting my money moving and making more money. so my capital is growing.

What you do is business, using money to create money. But I think you should still have a small number of banks for emergency cases. Because investment or business is not always profitable. Life is full of surprises and if you don't have any savings, you will get in trouble in case of emergencies.
268  Economy / Economics / Re: Money is for the important things on: March 05, 2023, 03:38:34 PM
In life everyone has a dream, aim and goal for them to achieve in their prospective life.
Your thinking and attitudes behavior and sense of reasoning might not be the same as others, if I most tell you something very shocking some people are too materialistic in way of buying spending money on cars, clothes and living luxurious life. Naturally we all know that money is meant for spending for that does not mean we shouldn't have a goal. Typical examples is Elon Musk, from my little research and understanding he never spent carelessly all less for investment and for business purposes.

How do you know he doesn't splurge or spend on expensive things? Are you friends with Elon, or have you just read his stories in the newspaper? You should know that people with money often have eccentric and very different habits. But they are very smart, they never show off or show off in front of the camera. But behind the scenes no one knows what they are doing.

The purpose we make a lot of money is to have a luxurious and happy life, only those who don't have a lot of money, can't touch those things, they call waste. I'm not too rich, but when I'm rich enough, I'll buy those things too, that's the life of the rich that everyone dreams of.

Education is still important no matter what, in school its the first ground to learn things not just for  academic but also how to get connected with society in order to have a basic interactions. For me education still important in pursuing goals in life and having a high education has a high chance to end up in your life long awaited career, no matter what industry you are fall in to.

Education is indeed the most important thing for everyone and can improve the economy in the future, it's only natural that we have to invest in education, in my country private schools are very expensive so only rich people can go to quality private schools.

Exactly, education is still a top priority in developed countries because only education can create geniuses, national leaders, and great businessmen. It was funny that many people thought that education was useless, they graduated and unemployed, and they blamed education while others had stable jobs. They should look back at themselves, they are very bad so no one wants to recruit them. Those who only blame are those who never succeed.
270  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Education is the key but knowledge is padlock on: March 05, 2023, 02:29:16 PM
So your friend opened a wallet for you and therefore knew about your private keys?  My question now is: would you trust yourself to share your bank account passwords with some friends?  Obviously not.  Bitcoin is even better than a bank account because no trader can ever associate your name with the account let alone know your passwords.

But if you lose your password or forget your bank account password, you can recover it, but if you accidentally lose your bitcoin password or your private key, you will lose everything. Both have their pros and cons, there is no best when comparing them and both have distinct use cases. Bitcoin is for investment and bank account is for saving.
271  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I want to surprise a friend on: March 05, 2023, 02:24:29 PM
It's past your friends birthday I know, but hey, bringing this up here wasn't necessary if you ask me because, you've said first, your friend has interest in Bitcoin, second, he is passing through some financial crisis which means he's in need of help.

I want to believe you gifted him though, cause that's the best decision to have taken.
Thank you, we need more of your kind in our world today, we shouldn't wait until hardships or difficulties take the life of the ones we claim to love, help in any little way you can.

It was a birthday present, not that he wanted to help the poor or those in financial difficulty. If you have a problem in life, you should focus on finding a solution, not expecting someone to help you. If someone helps you, it's a blessing, but don't wait and find a solution.
272  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How will you feel when your government make BTC legal? on: March 05, 2023, 02:20:40 PM
My way to class this morning with some of my lovely course mate, someone raise this question that if our government decide to adopt BTC or make BTC legal how will i feel? I told him that the day our government will announce that BTC is now fully legalized in the country, I will throw a big party to host all the bitcoiners in my environment to join me to celebrate.

Being happy about the news is enough and I think spending too much money to host a party just because Bitcoin is legalized is a waste.  Aside from that, your security would be compromised because many people will know that you hold Bitcoin and might make your family and your life in danger because there is a possibility that you will be targeted by people who do bad thing to make money.


Just because you invest in bitcoin doesn't mean you have a lot of bitcoins or a lot of money, so there's no need to worry about being attacked by bad guys. Many people get rich in business without bitcoin, and I have never seen them attacked by bad guys, unless you are a bad guy who is hated by others.
273  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and education on: March 05, 2023, 02:14:04 PM
can someone who is not well educated (secondary school graduate) understand the statistics of bitcoin investment or Bitcoin trading?
The three important skills to develop above all things in school is how to read, how to write and how to understand. Once you can do these, you are very qualified to be trading bitcoins or be very involved with it. Some people devoted time to learning about bitcoins and you can too with your little education. You just need resources that you can devote time to reading and a guide or a community that you can take questions to whenever you have to ask. The most educated are not the most successful in bitcoins, bitcoin requires another form of education.

This is true, only a person who can read, write and understand can invest in bitcoin. Knowledge to invest bitcoin as well as how to succeed in investing, school does not teach us that. High or low level of education is not an issue with bitcoin investing. OP can comfortably invest in bitcoin without having to worry about his education.

Practically Bitcoin is more valuable that Gold and it can be  able to give you a huge return after the Bitcoin halving. And that's why I think it makes sense to sell jewelry to invest in Bitcoin because of its high volatility return.

If you feel he did the right thing, then you can do the same, sell your house, sell your car, sell your kidney to invest in bitcoin, because as you and the OP predicted, there is only 1 year left can x10 properties easily. You and the OP have forgotten our old saying: only invest what we can lose, invest with idle money, and do not sell assets to invest.

For Lazio, this victory is very important for them to strengthen their position in the top four.

Lazio's team is now second in the points table after securing 3 points against Napoli. Lazio is not fighting for the title. Lazio aims to finish in the top four of the points table and qualify for the Champions League. Second-placed Lazio is still 17 points behind Napoli. If Lazio is to qualify for the Champions League, they will need to continue their consistently good form. Because Roma and Atalanta are trying their hardest to stay in the top four of the table.

Manchester United fans will be hoping that tomorrow will not be one of those unlucky days for them. Liverpool could put up an outstanding performance to force them to record a defeat now that they are setting their eyes on the league title. Liverpool lost in the first leg to Manchester United at home and at Anfield they wouldn't want to lose for the second time. Both coaches are good tactically so it will be a tough game.

Liverpool's performance in the last few matches is quite good. They are unbeaten in their last four matches. And Liverpool has won three out of four matches. In this situation, it will be challenging for Manchester United to get full points in this match. Also, the match is at Liverpool's home match. But I have faith in Ten Hag. His match strategy is excellent. And he can make the players confident. So even though the opponents are tough, Manchester United players are able to perform well. Therefore, I consider Manchester United as the favorite in this match as well.
277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: March 04, 2023, 10:13:39 AM
I think Napoli have a good chance of reaching the final depending on the draws for the next round. I expect them to win in the 2nd leg like they won in the 1st leg and if they can draw 1 of the weaker teams I think they can go far If they are going to play against Real Madrid I think that would be bad luck because they are 1 of the most exciting teams in the Champions League. The game against Real Madrid would be fun while it lasted though.
Napoli is one of the teams I'm looking forward to watching how they play in the second leg, but I believe they have the upper hand in moving to the next stage; if they draw and win their second leg, they could face Inter, and if they do, Napoli might go to the semi-finals. The only barrier I see for them is Bayern Munich or Manchester City; even if Real Madrid wins their stage, it would be tough for them to pass past those teams easily.

Napoli is one of the favorites to win the Champions League this season. Due to the strong bond between the players, they are able to consistently play well in every match. Napoli has been dominating since the start of Serie A. Napoli is almost certain to win the Serie A title. And so now their target is the Champions League. I don't think Napoli will have any problem winning the second-leg home match against Frankfurt. However, it will be difficult for Napoli to win if they face Bayern Munich or City in the quarter-finals. Because each of these teams is aiming for the Champions League title.
278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: March 04, 2023, 07:09:12 AM
Barcelona will not give out their opportunity of becoming the La Liga champions once again.
If they would want to do it is not at this time that they are already close to Success.
The major factor that can make Barcelona to lose the title race to Real Madrid is injury.
But looking at the current squad of Barcelona, you will understand that almost all the players are available.
Barcelona players are not available. Most of their best players are out injured. They are without Lewandoski, Dembele, Pedri, Christensen and Gavi for the match against Valencia tomorrow due to a suspension. They are just seven points ahead of Madrid at the moment and a loss to Valencia will reduce that to four points if Madrid wins against Betis. Now here is the tricky part, Barca will play Bilboa next and we all know how much of a pain in the ass Bilboa can be to Barcelona. After Bilboa they will play Real Madrid. So if Barcelona don't handle the next three matches they have very well they could find themselves just one point ahead of Madrid or worst, below Madrid. They can only hope for Madrid to keep been inconsistent in the league.

I think the Barcelona team will be able to put up a solid performance even though several Barcelona players are out of the squad. Because Barcelona is not relying on any specific player now. In the last match, we saw they won against Real Madrid. And against Madrid, they were able to win only because of their brilliant match strategy. It will not be easy for Barcelona to win the next match against the Valencia team. But my guess is Barcelona will win or the match will be a draw. I don't think Barcelona will lose.

As a coach, Erik Ten Hag has done a great job so far and his performance as a coach is impressive. Compared to other similar coaches, he was able to make a big impact on the team very fast after he joined the team. While many people expected Manchester United to perform even worse after Ronaldo left, Erik Ten Hag performed better than fans expected.
Watching someone kicked ronaldo from the club. I never thought before that the ten hag would be the first and at the same time made the best choice for the club. The termination of ronaldo's contract had a huge impact on the performance of club. Now the players have become more disciplined and ten hag apply some things that I think should be emulated by other clubs. Ten Hag slowly but surely transforms United into a new form. It really reminded me of United during the Ferguson era.
Erik ten hang did a great work in Manchester and he is not tired yet. What surprises me most was the audacity he had to bench Ronaldo and penalised him when he misbehaved. Many coaches would continue to pamper Ronaldo even whe  he didn't join preseason and he also did not integrate with the team.
I could remember the statement of Ole when Ronaldo first arrived. He said Ronaldo must always play in as much as he is fit. But this was not the case of Erik ten hang.

Ten Hag was able to strengthen the Manchester United team. And he was heavily criticized for several decisions. He kept an experienced player like Ronaldo on the bench. And for this Ten Hag was criticized. But now it is well understood that Ten Hag's decision was correct. He was able to take useful decisions to stabilize the team. And right now one of the strongest teams in the Premier League is Manchester United. Ten Hag will be able to strengthen the team next season.

It is weird how Reis turned Schalke into a team with such a strong defense. That is a riddle to me. They started with 1:10 goals after the winter break and everybody thought that this is going the same way it ended before the World Cup started. If they keep going like this even with their draws they will have a chance. A chance which nobody thought they could get close to this season.
Hoffenheim is in a free fall and Bochum are back to losing many games as well after they recovered for a short time. For Leverkusen and Hertha these upcoming games are also essential way markers for the rest of the season. If Wolfsburg loses they can at least temporarily stop dreaming of the Europa League and Leverkusen, in case they are losing, should take care of not getting even lower.
Well, if they didn't had such a terrible start, they could have been out of the relegation zone by now, and they do not have a great roster so they are playing pretty defensively right now and park the bus all game. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't really expect much from them, it is going to end up being a bit of a tough deal in the end.
I expect the situation to calm down a bit and they will get back to losing again, and they will actually be relegated anyway. However, if they end up being this good for a while longer and somehow manage to stay up, I think next season could be even better for them with some additional players they could have.

Schalke is actually improving a lot. But the problem is they are very deep in the relegation zone right now. They are the team which is absolutely at the bottom. So of course it is going to be really hard for them to get out of the relegation zone. But at the same time, they are improving. So it is not going to be surprised if they do end up getting out of the relegation zone.
