In case anyone is wondering what is happening with Chelsea, I have just told all the Chelsea supporters to just understand and take it that Chelsea is no longer a big team. When this understanding is meant by the Chelsea fans and even the Chelsea management they will come to normal realization and start building the club afresh. There is no how anyone is going to make a good season with the level of inconsistency that is accompanying Chelsea Football club. You cannot be grossly inconsistent and still make a good result in the present day English Premier League.

Even as Brentford has never been in a good form for some months now Chelsea was also enabled to beat them. In fact Chelsea have to struggle to luckily equalize the match in order to go home with just one point. Things have just really falling apart for Chelsea Football club

The most important thing for a trader is to accumulate and save trading profits. A stop loss order is a protective tool used to prevent further losses. Stop loss will be the right decision if there is a possibility of serious loss in the market. As we can see stop loss is really essential for trading. If we work in the stock market without using stop loss it seems that there is a possibility of going towards loss. So we should always use stop loss.
In as much as the market is volatile, there's always a possibility of serious losses. So, it is best to always use the stop loss during trade, unless you are sure you will not leave the screen. You will just watch the screen manually till you get results. What then will be the essence of using the manual method if you can automate it.

...This is why I don't like trading, I let it lose if I'm holding because eventually it's going to recover without doing anything and no need to be pressured by the market.

Not all coins recover in price to the level at which they were bought, and there are plenty of examples of this. And for other coins, you have to wait several years for the price to return to its previous value. So in my opinion, it is better to sell and buy at a reduced price than just expect another bull run.
The best advice so far and would have been the best for me if I applied it to Shiba. Instead of me to sell and rebuy at a lower and discounted price, I held on for nothing till now.
263  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is Satoshi Nakamoto's networth ever being rated? on: March 01, 2024, 09:10:07 PM
Satoshi Nakamoto's identity remains unknown, and there is no verified information about his/her net worth. While there have been attempts to uncover his/her identity, none have been conclusively proven. It's unclear whether he/she holds a significant amount of Bitcoin or has sold any over the years. In the absence of verified information, any claims about his/her net worth are speculative. The anonymity surrounding him/her has certainly contributed to the lack of concrete details about his/her financial status.
It is clear that Satoshi have not sold much of his coins because bitcoin transactions are public. So, all the addresses that belong to Satoshi are just public. But we need to say is that since the identity of Satoshi is not known, he could have other sources of income which can not be known since his identity is not known.

It is high time we acknowledge that Satoshi is not known and can never be known.

I am a new member in this forum. I came across this Beginners & Help post and made this post. Please help me with a proper guide line how I can get idea about this forum.
I can count literally more than 10 posts of this nature.

Newbies should start by writing about this first. They should first by reading the Beginners & Help section. Even before going to the next page, everything question they have in mind to ask would already be answered. For example, there is literally this topic Newbies - Read before posting New pinned at the top  of the Beginners & Help section. If newbies read it thoroughly before they would not need to post these repetitive topics.  
Most newbies don't enjoy reading in silence without being noticed. They rather will like to attract public attention. Maybe the essence of the public attention is to gain merits. If you look at the username of OP, you will understand that it was written all in upper case, which is also an attempt to attract attention. This is not only applicable to Op but to many other newbies. But only a few newcommers, will want to spend few weeks to read about the forum. And anyone that spends few days to tour and read about the forum will definitely figure out how many things work here themselves.

Welcome Op, I wish you a nice stay in the forum.
265  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling? on: March 01, 2024, 08:19:25 PM
If you don't succeed at something, but you managed to try it - is it worth regretting? Before you regret it, you need to understand why you failed and what you can improve. For example, if you have trouble playing poker, you need to read poker manuals and learn how to meditate, bluff, and control your emotions. If it doesn't work, then it's not your thing and you need to try something else

even if you suceed in a new path or choice in the future, that's also due to your failures in the past, taking into account that you can't change the past regretting is probably useless but it's good to look at our past decisions and think about when we did good and when we didn't so we can polish our decision process to make better decisions in the future.
That was same question I had wanted to ask. Do we have to regret when we are not actually committed to something. I don't gamble with the mindset of becoming rich through gambling. I gamble just to have fun and also have motivations to go watch the football matches. When watching a match when you didn't gamble on it, it seems boring and dull since the outcome wouldn't concern you. But when you eventually bet on the outcome of the match, you would be exited to watch the match with awf and be anxious of the outcome.

Whenever you begin to regret knowing about gambling, it means it is time to quit gambling and there's nothing more to that. You can't keep doing what you regret eveytime.

Even with Ivan Toney returning to the team, Brentford are still unable to turn the tide around as they have continue to lose crucial matches in the English Premier League and dropping closer to the relegation zone in the table. On the other hand, Chelsea are looking great in their performance lately and I think there is a very high chance for Brentford to suffer another loss against Chelsea in their next upcoming match.
If a club doesn't fight harder, the relegation zone becomes a spot to deal with. Brentford will hosts Chelsea this weekend at their home ground stadium. An important win for Chelsea because they have no good records against the home team but fighting harder wouldn't do any significant pressure. Brentford have suffered crucial defeats in their previous games and this have become a thing to worry about. The Bees headcoach, Thomas Frank will become an ultimate pillar for the club, he's not responding nicely to the present condition of the club.
There is something I have discovered in this season English Premier League competition context. At the start of the season you need to hit the ground running and try as much as possible to keep up the momentum even if it is not consistent but at least it should be above average. Whenever a particular club begins to fall apart it will take them sometime to regain momentum because every other club is struggling to be at the top light of the English Premier League table. The competition is intense and any club Who has not find a way to be somewhat consistent would always slide.

Concerning Chelsea Football club, I would never agree that those guys are back to form till this season is ended. Chelsea Football club is just like a black magic, by the time you think that they are in good form and we start winning matches they will just lose to the most miserable team in the English Premier League. For them to start giving high battle with a big clubs does not mean that they are now in good form. Chelsea Football club literally needs an overhauling.

There is a piece of weird news about Liverpool and their superstar player, Luis Díaz.
So far during this season, Liverpool had amazing performances and they got good results in the premier league to even make this team be the first place before other strong teams like Manchester City and Arsenal but it seems they want to put Luis Díaz for sale now.
Luis Díaz joined Liverpool after leaving Porto in 20222 for 65 million euros and he and good performance when he started playing there, even though the good performance from Luis Díaz made Klopp to trust this player.
But the drama that happened to him and his father made Luis Díaz to lose his focus and that's why they put him for sale.


First, I would want to know what happened between Luiz and his dad. How come I haven't read about it until now. When you said that what happened between him and his Father affected him, are you saying that he no longer plays good football?
Diaz is still young and energetic, if I am a club owner I will likely keep him even more than Salah and Nunez. Even if they place him on sale, there are many clubs who will be interested in buying him.

I am suspecting that some players might realign when Jurgen Klopp finally leaves Liverpool FC. The realignment could start earlier than expected by some players refusing to renew their contracts. Let's just believe this is a rumour because Liverpool is not supposed to sell Diaz.

If this question appear dumb, please pardon me, I just need clarifications.
Not actually a dumb question. It is makes sense too. What you are actually asking is if there's demand but no one willing to supply. What happens is that the price will high to the extent that it will entice Hodlers to sell.

I have read several posts encouraging people to hold their bitcoin for the greater good of bitcoin and probably more reward in the future. I have also been able to buy some for myself and also holding.
 
In this industry, it is important that you follow your mind and not necessarily what people wants you to do.
Satoshi created bitcoin to be a currency for buying and selling if possible. But then, bitcoin has turned an investment asset where people are praised for HODLING more than for using bitcoin to buy goods or pay for services.
269  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC profit taking strategies? on: March 01, 2024, 04:04:23 PM
The average housing price in Canada is $659,395 [1], selling Bitcoin using DCA strategy when you don't have enough coins to buy house, is not a wise decision for me.

I suggest you're need to wait until the price surge really high, let's say you think $150K CAD is big, you can sell some portion and hold the rest. People are expecting the highest Bitcoin price in this year halving event will happen in the next year, so you can sell some at the top.


[1] https://wowa.ca/reports/canada-housing-market
Exactly what I will like to input. Selling in such a small amount could reduce the weight of the profits you will make from your investment. Such method of selling would only be good if you are selling and using it to buy another asset. But selling and keeping the money in CAD fiat is not too a nice idea.

The bitcoin price this time is a significant indication that 150k dollars is possible during the bull run. Why not wait till it hits 100k and you sell like 40% of your portfolio. If it hits 150k, you sell 50% of the remaining portfolio and then leave 10% for the next cycle of DCA.

It was an emotional win for Manchester United as they had struggled throughout the game with a number of goal chances. Only Casemiro managed to score a goal in the 89th minute, he really showed his quality. However, the quarter-finals were very difficult and of course because Manchester United had to meet Liverpool.

For the match week 27, Manchester United has a big challenge because the derby match will certainly be very difficult. Manchester City have big ambitions to win their home match, they also don't want to lose the opportunity when their chance to win the title is still in their hands. If Manchester United is able to stop Manchester City, they deserve high praise, but their chances are low.

Right, this match will be a challenge for both teams Manchester City as the host is certainly targeting a victory and Manchester United also don't want to lose because they want to shift Tottenham from  5th position. I don't think Manchester City will win easily, even though playing at home they need more effort and in my opinion there is a possibility the two teams drew.
I am not confident about Manchester United that they will be able to deny Manchester City atleast 2 points if not the whole 3 points. Recently we can acknowledge that it is Chelsea FC that has learnt how to play Manchester city. Even in the poor form of Chelsea in the era of Pochetino, Manchester City has found it extremely difficult to win against Chelsea.

But this is a different story for Manchester United because they are going to face a 100% quality and good team. With the return of Haaland and KDB, it will be a nightmare for Manchester United, while in the other hand, the young and vibrant Manchester United striker - Hojlund will be absent for Manchester United. I wonder who will try to get a goal for Manchester United in that very derby.
271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: your perception about gambling on: February 29, 2024, 11:48:39 PM
The answer to your questions go this way;
The rules of gambling differ from country to country. In one country it could be legal while in another country it is completely illegal.

In one country, gamblers might be considered as sane people while in another country, gamblers are not considered as responsible people.

In one country, religion has no relationship with gambling, while in other countries, there's a free will and free choice.

But in majority of the countries, gambling is not considered as a noble profession and it is unethical and that is why it is being chestized by many because it has done more harm than good to the people.

The case of Xavi Alonso is not as easy as we see it. It demands critical decision by both Xavi Alonso and the management of Bayern Leverkusen. See what I mean I essence;
  • Bayern Leverkusen will not want to leave Alonso easily if he wins either of the Bundesliga title or the Europa League for them.
  • Xavi Alonso might be tempted to commit one year or more to Leverkusen if he qualifies for champions league
  • No matter how good Alonso is, he will not immediately hit the ground running if he takes over from Klopp. He must face inertial
So, it might actually be a big decision for Xavi Alonso to make, not only Alonso but also Leverkusen management. But then this is a great opportunity for Alonso to be rated among the world best coaches if he will agree to make a move.

Those two players are very good to Manchester city and they have brought so much favour to Manchester city and, what they displayed yesterday show that their absence during the injuries is what caused Manchester city to reduced points to this level they are now in the premier league table.

 I don't think they will win this trophy this season because, Liverpool and Arsenal have show some improvement that will make Manchester city not to repeat what happened last season in this season, even though Erling Haaland and De Bruyne play the tournament through out.

They have the best team, they won the Champions, they have the best coach in the world probably.

Do they really need 2 players to be able to win?

I mean... for sure they are strong Haaland and KDB but the others 15 top players they have are not bad players.
Actually when a team is good, the individual players in that team is expected to be good. But when a team as a whole is bad, even if the individual players are good, the overall team performance will sti be bad. On this premise, it is important to understand team form is better than individual form.

Although Manchester city team is the best team in Europe, they have suffered a lot of blows especially this season. Mahrez left the team, Gundigun also left the team. This is already a huge impact on the team until KDB went on a very long injury break. Things weren't going well again as we all saw that Haaland stopped scoring frequently until he was also injured. Even if we claim that the absence is not felt, we should acknowledge that their arrival is felt. So, there's always a difference when they are or are not in the team.

It's just that if Lazio plays defensively well enough then they have a chance to end the match with a draw and they will qualify for the next round. But Harry Kane will definitely work hard to score goals and bring Bayern Munich through to the next round.

Playing defensively against a team like Bayern can easily hurt you or work out well for you. It's a risk that has to be managed properly. If you want to defend against Bayern, you have to make sure you don't leave any room for error. A single mistake can make them hurt you. You also need to be very good on the counterattack. Fast wingers and quick passes.

I believe they'll stand a better chance if they also attack Bayern. Don't let them be comfortable on the ball and press them. When Bayern are comfortable on the ball they can easily hurt you.
It's going to be a very difficult game for Lazio but if they put their heads down and work enough they can win or draw the match.
I do not actually understand the coach that made this statement I want to say, so I will not quote anyone so that I won't misappropriate it. There's a statement that the best form of defence is attack. If a club actually needs to defend, they should just keep attacking to keep the opposition defence and team busy. This should be the strategy Lazio should use. If they use this method, they might likely succeed against Bayern Munich if they eventually score one more goal.

To be honest with us, Bayern Munich is not a club that you should be very confident that you will be able to defend for 90 mins. No matter how good your defence is, they cannot be consistent for 90 mins, there must be few errors that the Bayern forwarders will capitalize to win the match

It has come to a point where humans can’t just seat and watch things happen for themselves. As humans leaving in this kind of economy where things are not getting easier, we have to employ the art of creative thinking skills. It is clearly seen that to survive in today’s world. You must be creative in your thinking. The world is a global village that is changing rapidly. Humans must be innovative in their ideas and should produce different techniques. Which can be implemented in order to develop commodities and create a competitive edge.this is to say creative thinking plays a prominent role in today’s world.
There's something about creativity. The idea of a man living in one country will greatly differ from the idea of another man living in another country. The country we live has very impact on our reasoning. The opportunities you see will influence your behaviour. Someone in a working country will definitely be smarter than someone in a country that is not working.

So, it takes more than idea to survive as the government must create a working environment for the people to build on for survival.

I remember when we had no board that we were everywhere in meta creating threads. CryptopreneurBrainboss did, Smartvirus did, Charles-Tim and others. But God is good that we are dominating now, despite that I have reduced my local board engagement.

I have seen Nigeria as the third most active posters, but surprisingly seeing Nigeria as the second this time is surprisingly. I can remember the time I posted almost or over 100 to 140 posts, but I had 58 posts in January and I am the 10th person with the highest posts, unlike before that I always take the first position. Despite my posting on local board that reduced, we become the second most active local board in January. This is nice.
You really did your best. I remember when you used to be number one and I'll follow even when Bestchange wasn't counting local board posts.

The most active members as of then were Charles-Tim, Agbe, CryptopreneurBrainboss and others follow but a time those guys posting in the local board reduce but there are still active members. And I thank them for the continually active in the local board. Bitmover we appreciate your recognition in the forum.
Mate, I knew when you joined the local board newly. For you not to mention my name here is an error or you used to forget easily. I was the first person that started merit reward for the highest posters in the local board to encourage engagement. I think you used to come 3rd, until Agbe appear and earned big number of merits and started supporting the merit reward and eventually became more active. He was always the first when CryptopreneurBrainboss took over the local board merit award.

Manchester United 1 : 2 Nigeria Fulham boys
I know you will be surprised at the title of my post but that is just the reality. The Nigerian defender and midfielder in this concluded AFCON in the person of Bassey and Iwobi were the goal scorers for Fulham that enabled them trash Manchester United today. I don't know if I will say that it is the effect of the successful AFCON they played.

In the other hand, Manchester United did not do enough to secure 3 points for them. Even when their former captain Harry Maguire tried to make them go home with 1 point, it was all to no avail.

Well the mix of modern and old-school vibes keeps life interesting. Sure new stuff is cool but there's wisdom in what our grandparents say. Finding the sweet spot between what's trendy now and the timeless lessons from the past adds flavor to our journey. It's like blending the best of both worlds, making life richer and more fun
Once upon a time,  in a certain community. The young people of that very community decided that they do not want the old people again because they are not civilized. All the youths made an agreement that everyone of them should kill all the old people in their kindred. They all did kill the older people in that very community. But a certain wise son hid his father and pretended that he was dead. Live went on in the community.

One day something spectacular happened. Cow horn tied with palm leaves fell in the village's square. No one knows the significance of that. They decided to go hire an old man from another community to interpret the mystery for them, but no old man agreed to come for fear of not being killed. Calamities befell the land and everyone was going to die on the next market day. It was at the eleven hour that the wise son brought his father out to interpret the mystery and saved the community. The Father and Son became heros of the community.
