261  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin halving is hours ago. Will you hold your BTC to April 2028? on: April 21, 2024, 05:09:36 AM
Well the question should rather be if I can increase my DCA after this halving event because initially now that is what my plan is and am already working towards getting and extra job coupled with the one I am doing already so I can increase my DCA and hold till next halving and bull run when a new ATH will be created. Buy+hold+patience= wealth
262  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why has bitcoin prices not increased just after halving ? on: April 20, 2024, 11:09:53 PM
Bitcoin mining fees has increased considerably today after halving but there are no effect on bitcoin prices. I suggested some friends to invest before and they are blaming me for the suggestion. I told them to wait for final effect as it can take some days for effect on prices but they are impatient.
Op after halving? How? We are in the halving now and that is why the fee increased and it is not yet for bitcoin to increase in price for now. So it is not advisable to send small amount nof coins from Electrum to exchange for selling or buying. We have to wait till after this period. But the price of bitcoin was going up but I still believed that the price will comes down and let see what will happen tomorrow upwards.

We are in the halving and waiting for a dip so we don't expect the price of Bitcoin to rise within this period even if it rises, there is going to be some corrections as a result of the effects of the halving, so this is basically a period of holding. So leaving one's coins inside your wallet is the best for now while waiting for the price to skyrocket after halving.

Real Madrid has again proven that they are the top of European football, they have succeeded in winning various competitions and in several competitions they have succeeded in conquering them by becoming the most successful team in winning the title.
Real Madrid extended their contract with Ancelotti and this season they have proven by having several opportunities that they are the strongest candidates to win titles in several competitions.
This season has really been really great season for Real Madrid, this is clearly revenge from last season where they didn't get anything from every important competition they took part in.

Only team that is able to compete with Real Madrid is Barcelona for La Liga and their rivalry has really been an eternal rival for long time, I remember when Barcelona still had Messi and Real Madrid with Ronaldo, this was an epic rivalry momentum.
In the past I remember how successful Barcelona was when Carles Puyol was still one of Barcelona best captains.
Real Madrid is the most successful club in Europe as far as football is concerned and even if they end this season without winning any trophy which is very unlikely to happen, they'll still remain as the best club in Europe. Their result against Manchester City on Wednesday night in their last leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter final tie again proves how dominant the Real Madrid team have been over the years and how they'll continue to be a very strong force in the competition in years to come.
In the Spanish La Liga, I think Real Madrid will likely win the title at the expense of their biggest rivals Barcelona. Real Madrid will host the reigning Spanish champions tomorrow at the Santiago Bernabeu and a win in the game will increase their chances of winning winning the league title

There is no doubt that Real Madrid is the best team in Europe due to the achievement they have gotten in European competitions but let us not hype them too much because that was how Liverpool was hyped and they were knocked out of the Europa league by Atalanta so sometimes, club goes through some difficult challenges even when they meet a lesser opponent

Well for every reason possible the odds are against Bayern and the other remaining teams because of the strength and might of Real Madrid but I would have cancelled this if it was a few seasons back when Bayern were also at their prime. The thing about Bayern Munich now is that they have the players but it's the system of play that's currently not working out because they seem to lack preciseness when it comes to winning games and this is an area where Real Madrid are actually specialist.
I i think ruling out Bayern Munich already may actually be really detrimental because i have observed that in as much as Bayern Munich isn't looking very fit as they used to be in their bundseliga which happens to be their domestic league, i still see that they have a better performance in the champions league when compares because the champions league is actually expected to be more competitive and challenging yet they are doing good.

You made a point because it is not easy to survive in the champions league because you get to meet teams that are from different leagues and plays different patterns of football more like teams that you always meet in the domestic league so I agree that for Bayern Munich to reach this stage even when they are not too in form means they tried too and despite that everyone is giving the odds to Real Madrid, table may turn and the opposite occur so Bayern may do something wonderful on their match against Real Madrid.

Can cryptocurrencies affect the global market right now?

Already cryptocurrency is conquering the global market because fiat has failed us over the years that is why so many are into crypto currency now because we believe that it will bring an end to inflation and some disadvantages that follows the use of fiat, the mass adoption of crypto currencies now is a sign that almost every one is tired of the global market and wants something that will take them out of these monetary bondage called fiat .

Arsenal doing their job so far as ending the first half 0-1,that is a good boost to them as all the pressure remain on Liverpool and Manchester City in their respective games while all these three teams come directly from the elimination of their European campaigns which didn't end well especially for Manchester City and Liverpool.Now the full focus of such teams will be here in the Premier League and it looks so far like Arsenal is doing what they are supposed to and are winning against Wolves away from home.Now there is the second half to be played but since the first 3-4 minutes Arsenal dominated the game and I doubt Wolves to have the power to turn things around against a team like Arsenal,I don't expect any surprise result in the second half of such game.

Arsenal did fail in the Champions League but anyway, Arsenal are still very good in the Premier League. Therefore, even though in this match against Wolves that Arsenal are playing away but still, Arsenal still have a very good chance of being able to beat Wolves. Also, based on the head to head too, the fact is that Arsenal have a good dominance of victory against Wolves and also, lately Wolves have also gotten bad results. But yes, if I consider overall throughout this season, that Wolves have really experienced a decline in performance. With such considerations, it is the right result for Arsenal to win the match in this away match against Wolves.

Despite that Arsenal doesn't give in their best when everyone thinks they will perform better, Arsenal have a very good squad, just look at how they comfortably won Wolves by 0:2 this evening. You know wolves is an average club in the premier league that also win big teams because they actually won Manchester city in their first meeting so for Arsenal to win them in this match without being affected by the loss they had at Allianz Arena in the champions league means that they can still win this league title if Manchester city fall behind along the line, I see a good team spirit among Arsenal players and they all gave in their best in this match.

Right now, Arsenal have returned to the top of the league table while waiting for Manchester City to play their outstanding game because they had an encounter with Chelsea today at the F.A cup and they won by 1:0 so they couldn't have any fixtures this week.

OP I don't think you understand what bull run means because basically we just entered the halving event and a slight dip is expected before the pumping (bull) will begin so if you think you can't afford to buy Bitcoin now then you may actually not be able to buy again till after the bull run so since the bull run is not yet come, it is an opportunity to still buy at any price except you are aiming a short term profit.
268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2023/2024 on: April 20, 2024, 05:25:57 PM
I think the same thing with you I mean this match might end in a draw, on paper Manchester City is much better but their opponent is Chelsea one of the most difficult teams to predict. In some matches we saw Chelsea playing differently when against strong teams even Chelsea defeated their opponents well, this is the reason why I am not very sure Manchester City can win easily. I just checked the betting market on Sportsbook it seems they predict there will be many goals in this match at least 3-4 goals so I think betting on over total goals is quite interesting and also on both teams to score, we also have to remember that this is the only opportunity for Chelsea to win the trophy this means they will not let this opportunity just disappear.
Chelsea's performance in the first half game was really fair, but Chelsea got more goal opportunities to score in this game than Manchester City did have in the match, Jackson was their major problem else Chelsea would have been leading at least a goal to nothing, Jackson wasn't very smart with the ball in front of the post , even when he got that one one with the keeper.

Chelsea played very well in the first half and they maintained a goalless result but I don't think they can maintain till full time because Manchester city is also putting some pressure and if they have any chance of scoring goals now they will utilize it very well. Jackson had a chance to score for Chelsea but he wasted the opportunity which is very inexperience of the player, in a match like this the best way to conquer defeat is to utilize any opportunity and score early goals.

It's always like that since klopp was underestimating their opponents. Liverpool deserves it since they did it very wrong by using the secondary squad to battle against atalanta which is really unacceptable thing for sure. I was expecting klopp to always used the full squads in any of european league match but it was wrong about it.
So, they deserved leave from europa league even early.
Every mistake has consequences and what Liverpool have achieved in the Europa League this season is part of the fatal mistakes they themselves have made this season. But for the remainder of this season, Liverpool still has a focus that is no less important, namely the Premier League trophy, which Liverpool still has a chance to get, even though it is quite difficult because the other two rivals have also performed quite well so far. In fact, if Liverpool had not made that mistake in the Europa League this season, at least Liverpool could have reached the final.

No one expected Liverpool to be out of the Europa league competition at this level Because they performed very well right from the group till the round of sixteen, the only mistake they made was losing 3:0 to Atalanta at Anfield in their first leg, that lost caused a lot for Liverpool because they actually needs to win with 3:0 or more than before they would have qualified for the semi finals and they finds it difficult as it only takes a determined and lucky team to perform such magic of winning by that goal margin in the returning leg so obviously, Liverpool created the problem for themselves.
The premier league is very tight right now between the three top teams and Manchester city may likely not give up in the title race, Liverpool was overrated in the Europa league and that led to their downfall. This has always been the problem with Liverpool and Arsenal, they will start so well but gives up easily towards the end of the league.

I hope no one forgets what will be a very interesting match today in the FA Cup. Namely, in the semi-finals, Man City will face Chelsea. And I think that with Man City failing in the UCL, Man City will definitely try not to fail in the FA Cup.

And interestingly Chelsea also looked in good condition in their last match in the Premier League. Because they managed to beat Everton with a score of 6-0. And it could be that in the match against Man City we will see a surprise from Chelsea.
And tomorrow Man United will also compete in the FA Cup against Coventry City and I think in this one Man United will win and will move forward to the Final. And it is very likely that Man City will be in the final facing Man United. But honestly I hope Chelsea win.  Grin

Manchester city will surely use this F.A cup semi final match against Chelsea to correct their mistakes in the Champions league because they are still in disbelief that they are out of the champions league so this is an opportunity for them to own a trophy this season while waiting for the outcome of the EPL because despite that Manchester city is topping the league, they are not too comfortable with the gap because any mistakes from now may give either Arsenal or Liverpool the advantage to bounce back to the table so hopefully, they will win Chelsea in order to get to the finals. Every one is praising Chelsea simply because they won Everton with 6:0 on Monday but they can't really withstand Manchester city.

Lukaku is a tough one for Chelsea. If you believe in second chances, it could be a step back or a chance to make things right. I would be careful because of his past there. Still, Chelsea is a mess right now. That could be the chance he needs to show everyone they're wrong. These choices about transfers are like taking chances. A player has to roll the dice sometimes to get that fire back

Lukaku is a nice player but the only problem this player has is lack of stamina if not he is a productive player. We shouldn't forget the impact he made while on loan at Inter Milan, it was only while playing for Roma that I didn't see much of his contribution to his team. I think he has been on loan for 2 seasons now. He should be more focused as he is returning back to Chelsea and try to make some improvements for his team because Chelsea is in an unstable state now, "it will be bad to add salt to injury" ( making a worst situation get more worst ) so he should try and make a difference this time.

You are right about Nigeria having talented and well gifted individuals in production but just as I usually say that no matter what we produce here, you can't match it up with international standards and that is basically because our government do not create an enabling environment for her citizen to showcase their talents and skills, so that they can possibly sponsor them to acquire more knowledge that will bring out the best that can match up with international standards. What I observed is that few of us that went abroad to get more knowledge on production, after being certified, the foreign countries usually hire them to work for them and considering the current state of our country and it's economy, no one will decline such an offer so these are the part of the many reasons why our economy is not growing and to me, it's all as a result of the selfish interests of our political leaders.
273  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Do you not think those land borders should be opened again on: April 20, 2024, 09:39:54 AM
~snip~
Sometimes, it is easy to explain in theory, but in real life it can be different.

That is just it, because it is easily said than done. I know that the closure of the border was also a way we can cherish our locally made products but let us not forget that we have not yet met international standards of producing things of good quality therefore opening of the border is necessary so that individuals can get access to quality products abroad pending when our government will be ready to meet up international standards.

Closing of the border is baseless since we are still facing inflation even though we are still dealing with locally made products. The growth of our economy should be the priority of the government as a nation that is experiencing low economic growth can lead to debt crisis just like we are experiencing now because the country is already owning a lot of money and involving in too many debts will instead take us backwards and with don't want such scenario.

In nutshell: bettors will have to pay 15% on the winnings received from any bets, regardless of whether the reward is small or large, and companies will have to pay 12% on revenue.
OP just like you are making this post and laughing, that is same way I'm laughing as well like what the f*ck is this? 15% on winnings? I won't even play to win again self let me see how they will get the 15%. For betting companies, paying taxes is important because they basically makes a lot of money from gamblers but for bettors I think it's just so funny.

[quote
Summary of the story: the government wants to be our partner only in gains, but in losses, we alone are forced to bear the financial losses. Very convenient, right?
[/quote]
Normally, government taking taxes doesn't really implies that they are doing so only when the individual or organization is making profits so far as they are running such business in the country they are to pay taxes, the area am only frowning at them is taking taxes from bettors winnings like it is very ridiculous i must say.

After Tuchel, a lot of names have been thrown around, but it's still unclear who will take charge of the team. Now the voices of Zidane are loud again. Xabi Alonso, De Zerbi, Conte, Nagelsmann and now Zidane is the next name. However, French sources say that Zidane has rejected this offer. I wonder who the giant Bayern will put in charge of the team, the options are dwindling. It has to be someone world class, which makes it difficult to make a choice.
Xabi Alonso is on the market, he keeps the trends active and running based on his tremendous records he managed to set in the Bayer Leverkusen this season, unbeaten run till 44 games currently running. Zinedine Zidane will not handle any managerial job at the moment because he has more targets to accomplish outside football. He's not managing any elite team and even when most of them place proposals with gigantic earnings, he decline every single one of them, he's doing this for reasons best known to him.

Already, Xabi Alonso has made his name known in the history of football and if he succeeds in this unbeaten run till after this season, a lot of coaches may want to know the tactics he applied to become successful to such extent because he will be among coaches that managed a team for a whole season without losing and it will be a very great achievement for him. What makes a team outstanding is having a good relationship between the Coach and the players and we can see how Bayern Leverkusen players are always happy with their coach that is why they put so much efforts in winning matches.

As for Zinedine Zidane, it is not certain if he will continue with his coaching career because from the way he speaks, it looks like he have got some commitments and things to achieve outside football so it is his decision to take.

~Snip~

Now he had decided to start the gambling again with the loan money to balance the previous loss of 2000$.What is your opinion on this,I had suggested him to go to the regular job to reduce the loan in step by step to reduce the loan burden.But he had word of “We can earn,Where we had loss everything “.Share your opinion on this.
This is pure addiction and where most gamblers fails is having this mentality of playing more in other to recover previous losses, this mentality have led to so many gamblers losing even more than they would have lost if they stopped chasing losses.
Severally we have discussed on the effect of taking a loan to gamble because if you lose you will be faced with the trauma of your loss and the outstanding debts I have gotten yourself into , it can even make someone go crazy especially when your loan is due.

People who are not gamblers do get In some peer-to-peer bets on a norm but it doesn't mean that they have been practicing gambling activities before because people normally make bets among themselves despite that the betting goes with a stake of money but it doesn't mean they have formed it as a habit of always making bets with money. During arguments about something, friends do make bets but it is not enough to classify them as people who are into gambling although there are people that making peer to peer bets makes them become addicted as they hardly makes arguments without wanting a stake to it, I have seen some persons that are like that.

Two teams in the relegation zone will face each other today and whoever wins will open up the opportunity to leave this red zone. Sheffield will host Burnley at home and the records of these two teams are very poor and that is what puts them at the bottom of the table at the moment. But Burnley is indeed a little better considering they have 1 win from the last 5 matches.

I think it will be difficult to determine who will win this match and the most reasonable result is a draw for both teams. Maybe that's all that is usually obtained considering there is no significant difference and also maybe we won't see many goals scored considering that each team will strengthen its defense. But if both teams play loosely then we will see quite a number of goals.

About Burnley versus Sheffield United game, since the both teams are in the relegation positions it will be difficult to predict which among them that will win but looking at the display of the two teams,  Burnley is more likely to win Sheffield United because they have a good attack just that their defense is not organized that is why they concede too many goals although it is almost the same with Sheffield United but Burnley is more forceful than Sheffield United. The both teams are in a very bad form so they may end in a draw

Since Madrid was able to defeat Manchester City in the Champions League it is sure that Real Madrid can possibly get the Champions league title. Manchester City has always been a limitation to Real Madrid in Champions league games but now it won't be hard for them .in laliga the point difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona it is very clear that Ral Madrid is getting the title for laliga this season without any doubt. Reall Madrid have really done well this season to dominate laliga and the champions league.
We're observing the necessary changes. La Liga teams tried but fall off along the line and the only solidable team remaining is Los Blancos. Real Madrid have done their best to eliminate one of the very crucial best team in UCL this season, knocking out the defending champion is not easy, Carlo Ancelotti already knows he played a major important game. Pep Guardiola and his team deserves accolades for the impressive performance pulled by the Citizens.


It would have been bad if a Spanish team did not move to the next stages because about 5 teams from the Spanish la Liga came for this champions league season which was the highest, as other countries came within four teams and below.
Real Madrid is a good team and despite that they won City, they knew they played against one of the champions that was why they were so happy after they won on penalties. It was just unlucky that Manchester city was drawn together with a strong opponent as Real Madrid, had it been it was a different team, Manchester city could have reached the finals but nevertheless, They played a matured and entertaining football.
