the war between Ukraine and Russia can't be explained briefly.. it's too complex ..but for sure that it was Ukraine who started provoking Russia by allying with NATO .. and Russia was also wrong to provoke Ukraine by annexing Crimea .. and many other problems .. so who do you think is wrong depends on which angle you look at it..
It is a situation of war, and when it's such then taking a neutral ground we can conspicuously come to a different points that both actors in the war are wrong in their actions and inaction or reactions. I am of no angle except for the angle that the war has gone beyond the ordinary and daily human lives are lost, many stranded and this war deep down is not just affecting the two countries at war but the globe.

What exactly is Russia's ( V. Putin's) problem dropping airstrikes on innocent civilians without resort to humanity. This war tussle has to end as innocent civilians lives who probably knows nothing about the government and about the underlying issues of the war are lost on a daily, both in Ukraine and Russia.
2683  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: October 10, 2022, 07:39:11 PM
The strongest team in Ligue 1 is PSG. And so as common spectators we expect PSG to win every match. But this is not the case. PSG won 8 out of 10 matches and drew 2 matches. I would say their performance is pretty good. PSG won't face much problem if they draw 1/2 matches.

PSG's main goal is to perform well in the Champions League. And they are top of the table in Group H. Apart from the draw with Benfica, they have earned full points against Juventus and Maccabi Haifa. And I believe PSG can win against Benfica in the next match.

No one doubts that PSG are the strongest team in Ligue 1. as for, with a draw against Reims in the last match.
I think it can't be separated from the change in strategy and starting eleven that Galtier implemented in that match, for sure Galtier saved the energy of his players for the champions league match.

as Galtier had predicted, the results would not be very satisfactory. after all, a draw doesn't really affect PSG's ranking in Ligue 1. as we know, PSG's goal is to do well in the champions league.
In the second leg later, SPG wants full points when playing at home to host Benfica later.

Another formation change also had to be made by Galtier in the middle of this match after Ramos was sent off by the referee 4 minutes before the end of the first half.

Losing a defender still makes their scheme have to be rearranged in this match even though they did control the game but they lost in terms of chances.
Their possession was more than 60 per cent in this match but from the number of chances it was clear that Reims dominated this match as they struggled to pay attention to defense and attack at the same time when they had fewer players.
The game was just what I could describe as a collateral damage to my stake as psg could not even clinged a 1 goal irrespective of just one man down almost to the end of the first half. For a team like reims psg wasn't supposed to feel shoked with the kind of the calibers of players they have.
It's just obvious that they were having it in mind to get a draw even before the start of the game and not because they were just on one man down.

There are those who wish for the opportunity to be schooled, or learn a skill or a trade but had no one or any support to achieving such while young, now woul we say it's their fault when they grow up old poor?

Not all adults that are poor are poor cause they failed to plan a good live for themselves but cause they had no access to such opportunities or support like others did.
2685  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc not money on: October 07, 2022, 07:26:43 AM
The question is, what then is money?
Cause there's precious metals such as gold, silver etc, and these are all value attributed objects, that were been used as means of exchange in form of coins back in those years of old, and later paper, what I would called special papers where introduced and attributed value to it in different amount. Yet they could be referred to as anything but it's money cause the value of exchange has been given to it.

In same way btc has exchange value, store of value etc, so actually it can be referred to or called money irrespective of what ever professional register of word given.
BTC is money!

Bad news for the G.O.A.T Cristiano Ronaldo not able to deliver united when they needed him the most, quite embarrassing and discouraging for the red devils. United missed alot of goal scoring chances in the first half. Erik ten hag change some players in the second half bring in sharp players that can deliver the team. Rashford brace and Anthony Martial goal gave united the winning three points against Omonia. One interesting about the game was that, United would have neil the home team more than 3 three goals but they pass the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo who wasted all his chances, I consider it as a hard luck for the Portuguese international.
When Ten Haag brought Ronaldo from the first hald it must be because he still believes that Ronaldo can contribute to the team because this match is also important for them, but when he can't score a goal it's not always about him failing to contribute.
I watched the match in the first half they failed to score a few more times due to their poorly coordinated attack, but at least the mission of getting 3 points has been achieved and isn't that the goal?
The mission of achieving a 3 points was achieved basically cause Manchester United were playing with an underdog compared to their caliber, if they should continue with such mistakes and errors with an opponent next to their tanks then am sure they won't escape with even a draw not to talk of a winning.

CR7 is not all there is in United, old age is fast catching up with the guy and much pressure shouldn't be laid on him like a player in his twenties. He has done his best while younger so the younger ones currently should take the bull by the horn in their respective position and see if United wouldn't do better.

It's actually in little things that grateful individuals are identified not in much. Many persons have this mentality that their gratefulness should been shown when the benefits is beyond expectation. But how can you know how to be really grateful in big things when you haven't gotten the mastery in small things.

Let learn to be grateful in everything good thing that comes out way despite it size or even if it's below expectation. For in that which you got below expectation another didn't even get a pin in it.
2688  Economy / Trading Discussion / The sole difference is capital. on: October 05, 2022, 11:45:57 AM
When it comes to trading, capital makes the difference. For it hits me hard to know that same energy and technicality put in making about $500 is also synonymous to making a million dollars or more in trading.
If we look back to our series of successful trades most of us would have made tremendous profits running in millions if it was on a good capital start.

And I agree with myself that when it comes to trading, for good traders the difference in our profit making level is in the capital and not necessarily put on number of successful trades executed.
It boils down to say the difference is just capital.

I have a question and doubt about where to communicate in this forum since I joined. I see a lot of newbies posting in the beginners board always and not interacting in other board most times. Is this where we only belong to for now until we gather plenty knowledge here and then rank up before we can use other boards?
Am I free to comment on any other boards as I do here and also ask questions there too?

As a newbie you're not confined to posting only on beginners and help, you're at liberty to post and comment on any of the board as long as your content is educative and tally with the ideas and objectives of such board. But for now I'll advise you focus more on beginners and help cause it's like a foundational building for you to grow in knowledge fast about so many things concerning the forum and crypto inquiries too compared to other board (my opinion though).

2691  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria (Naija) on: October 01, 2022, 03:29:00 AM
Independence but not free
When Nigeria gained independence from British authority in 1960 and was proclaimed a federal republic with Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe serving as its first president, it was a momentous day in Nigerian history. It is truly a day to honor freedom because it is not something that can be attained without cost. Following independence, on January 15, 1966, there was the first military takeover, also known as the founding of the first republic, which was controlled by several leaders who represented the various regions. Very intriguing system of governing. Although we are celebrating our independence, are we truly free? We practice democracy which was supposed to be a  government of the people, where the priority of the government is supposed to be the people but their priority is now their pockets greed has taken over our nation, and corruption has eaten deep into our system that as crumble the economy and governance of our nation indeed we celebrate freedom but still in bondage, but despite the challenges we stand firm and hope for the best, let's pray and hope for the best, Nigeria is our home our land and our nation, we also have a role to play as its citizen so let’s perform our duties correctly and God bless  Nigeria.



Happy independent day Nigeria and to all Nigerians.
It has been a very critical moments in the life of our country Nigeria and for every Nigerian. We have a plethora of reasons not to be happy and proud of our Father land, not to celebrate our nation when compared to other nation's of the world. Yes! Yes your reasons, my reasons, our reasons put together are true but let's not forget we have no other place to genuinely call HOME with an identity apart from our Father land.

If we could go through these few nights left I surely believe there's brighter and better days ahead. Let us build together the kind of country we vision to live in.
Nigeria is ours to build come 2023 and beyond!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE NIGERIA, GREAT NATION GREAT PEOPLE!
2692  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / More reasons why it will always be Bitcoin for me on: September 30, 2022, 02:40:08 PM
When growing up as a child in my elementary classes we were taught in commerce and economic subjects that savings account with banks are entitled to either weekly or monthly interested added into the account by the banks, as a way of encouraging savings amongst middle or average earners in the society. But growing up to an adult I am seeing an incongruous practice to that ideology as was been taught in my elementary days. What a shame! Sad As reverse is rather the case.

Starching money in the bank as savings don't just only reduce  initial deposit amount through consistent unreasonable different charges but also also posed on the individual the possibility of not having access to your money when needed and even in the very amount needed to withdraw because of regulatory and centralized power placed in the hands of one man called the government. And all of these regulations only work in favour of the regulator at the centre.

This thread is informed by a trending news in the financial market I came across a day ago. According to a domestic newspaper VANGUARD, "The Central Bank of Nigeria through the governor of the bank has issued 48 hours deadline to commercial banks to deposit not less than N6.96trillion of customers' deposit into it's account".
A directive that was issued on Tuesday 27, Sept, 2022, for commercial banks to increase their CRR to 32.5 per cent with effect from 28, Sept, 2022. (CRR is the percentage or proportion of a bank's total cash deposit that must be kept as reserves with the CBN).
Source: www.legit.ng

Many bank customers have no knowledge yet on how this directive will affect them as the commercial banks will in turn create some restrictions on customers in anyway possible as to place a limit to their withdrawal amounts. A situation where an individual has money but can't access it in the amount desired to use in solving a pressing need aszhe case may be, cause on the other hand the commercial banks wouldn't want a situation where they will not have enough money within their confine to run their own business to making profit for themselves.
All these at the detriment and cost of the powerless customer.

This among other issues had made me stunch proponent and advocate of cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin as the best alternative to starching or savings, with probably just a very insignificant amount of Fiat money for bank savings if you so wish. Cause the centrality and regulatory authority enjoyed by the government woul never make for decisions in the best interest of the ordinary citizens.
An argument many out there can relate with.


2693  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Preamble to Candlesticks chart and their significance. on: September 28, 2022, 10:31:22 PM
There a lot threads on this. You have put sources of the the materials, because I know these information are not yours. And also this thread is suitable for trading board not here. That where this thread can be effectively discuss.
Don't just rush in a hurry to accuse or allege on someone what you don't know. There maybe many threads about Candlesticks chart but definitely not same with this. I poured this out out of my very understanding of long periods of study.

Anyways, thanks for the suggestion on the board I ought to have posted.
2694  Economy / Trading Discussion / Preamble to Candlesticks chart and their significance. on: September 26, 2022, 03:03:57 PM
Hey newbie's/beginners in the cryptocurrency community do you have a preamble understanding of the candlesticks on the chart, otherwise referred by some as the Japanese candlesticks? Does it interest you to have an idea of the significance of the different candlesticks? Am sure we're are all here to learn and earn and so it will sure be of interest!

Candlesticks tells us when to buy or sell. It gives us a view of the strength of either the sellers or buyers against the other and what is happening with market. The candlesticks it's like it tells stories on the chart (market stories). Although not all candlesticks are that important but having an idea of them could be of immense usefulness to your choice and strategy of trading.

Let's look at a few such as: Hammer candlestick, Inverted hammer candlestick, Doji candlestick, and Engulfing candlestick.

* HAMMER CANDLESTICK : this candlestick is just like the normal carpenter's hammer in shape and an approved hammer candle body should be at most one third of the hammer body. Hammer candles signals the trader at the end of a downtrend. In other words, it is a bullish candlestick pattern.

* INVERTED-HAMMER CANDLESTICK: as the name implies, it signals the end of a downtrend. It's like a hammer in an upside down position.

* DOJI CANDLESTICK  : this candlestick appear as an equilibrium between buyers and sellers in the market, and the smaller the Doji the better. They don't stand alone as they appear or make more meaning when in between other candles, perhaps that's why it is referred to as equilibrium between buyers and sellers. Doji candlestick makes much sense when the body is almost absent, they mostly appear at the top of a trend.

* ENGULFING CANDLESTICK    :we have engulfing bullish candlesticks and engulfing bearish candlesticks. The bullish engulfing candlestick indicates a heavy buying pressure whereas the engulfing  bearish candlestick indicates a heavy selling pressure on the market.

 One trick here is that, It will suffice you to know that these candlesticks makes much sense when they happen in higher time frames or support and resistance zones. So if you would be trading on lower time frames then, try contrasting the appearance of the candlesticks in higher time frames to that of your lower time frames how they tend to both appear. For it's would most likely give a better insight and understanding of how to place and execute your trade especially for scalpers.

This is just a preamble as beginner. You will have a much better understanding of these candlesticks when you do your own more research on them on either YouTube and other friendly sources.

2696  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Looking for a real mining platforms that pays. on: September 21, 2022, 03:18:56 PM
Recently I have been mining with a lot of different cryptocurrency platforms that looks so promising and real to work out eventually as claimed. How I got to encounter these alt coin mining platforms (am not sure if the right word to use is platform) was through a good friend of mine whom which we're in same shit together due to a pressing need that needs a lot of money for us to procure for our proposed business.

He has been introducing me into lots of these mining platforms he gets from some persons he meets online, who claimed to be paying them for lots of months, and so for a people that needs money to run a pressing need we will both engage into it out of desperation, we will end up buying a mining machine from these platforms with even the little money we have that was supposed to be a starting point of savings to our proposed business plan. To cut the whole story short, we have engaged into four different platforms just in the past two months which initially only one paid just ones and crashed, the very last one we had to purchase the platform mining machine for $250 only to get bursted like the previous ones within a space of two weeks while waiting for the 30days interval for eligible withdrawal.

Although I believe there might be some real genuine mining platforms that are really trustworthy and paying but I can't say for sure which is genuine.
Am just using this to remind people out here to be very careful and exercise some patience in doing some few research about these kind of issues or as it relates to this kind of situation. Our desperation has really cost us even the little we had in the process of getting more.

Despite all of these, we are still unperturbed and will really welcome any real genuine mining  platform that is trusted and working as we're in really need of funds for our business plan, but this time I'll put in a lot research work on whatever comes out way to know it's trustworthiness before involving.
Thank you!

This is a story told by someone I came in contact with in a conventional business meeting I attended within the weekend as we were having a group discussion. The purpose of bringing this here is to bring to the knowledge of some beginners and even old users in the forum about such platforms, and to create awareness of careful even in desperate times. Further more I promised the fellow that I was going to get back to him with probable solutions to what he's looking for, and so I'll really appreciate anyone in the forum that can give any genuine information on this so I can get back a feedback to the fellow.

2697  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Awareness of scam on social media will help reduce scam on: September 21, 2022, 02:21:26 PM
Scammers are very smart on how to get peoples attentions and they are also smart in inventing new strategies that can be so real to easily convince people . My worries is about beginners who are coming up, and if you make research most beginners in crytocurrency and on social media were once a victim to scammers and till date some beginners still fall for scammers.

To me,  the social media would have been the easiest way to fight against scam, to make beginners get aware "the strangers  you meet is at own risk ". This can always be in the mind when one encounter a stranger who want to offer free money or do business, one will have to think how real can it be.

Beginners don't get awareness of scam on social media,  some mostly get aware of scam with personal experience.
The best one can do to avoid falling into scam be you a beginner or an old user in this community is to create the attitude of avoidance to all those juicy offers and mouthwatering offers those scammers use in getting their victims.

Learn to avoid clicking on almost every site that look promising to you, try do more verifications and research on the said promos, bonuses or promises such may be offering, perhaps you could contact others that have debt knowledge about the business ask questions about it, and stop having the fear of losing out if you don't do it immediately, for there's always market opportunities in the crypto business.
2698  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How will you handle this case on: September 17, 2022, 06:35:04 AM
 Irrespective of the much passion i have to make others also benefit from the knowledge of cryptocurrency as I do today, I also take exception in certain cases as to declining from engaging with some persons about it.

Based on what my mind tells me, I may just say please go do the research for yourself and learn the hard way so you don't come pointing blaming fingers on me especially when there's no clear cut to use in exonerating myself should the person get gullible and make a loss of asset in the process.
Just like in this case all fingers are pointing on one person but it might probably be that there's more to the story than meet the eyes.

AC Milan  vs  Dinamo Zagreb

The AC Milan vs Dinamo Zagreb match has started a while ago. Neither team has scored yet. The AC Milan team seems to be the favorite but the Dinamo team is not weak. The Dinamo team is well organized.
In the first match, they won 1-0 against the mighty Chelsea. Today's match is Dinamo's away match. They will definitely not want to drop points in this match. Since they won the first match. So if Dinamo Zagreb can draw in today's match then they will be able to top the points table. Dinamo's goal is a draw. So it doesn't look like we will see much attack in the match. Maybe both teams will play defensively.
AC Milan will not take too many risks. Because they will face strong Napoli in the next match in Serie A. A full point against Napoli is very important for them.
The AC Milan  vs Dinamo Zagreb match which I vision it to end with not more than 2 goals in the favour of no team as both teams in the first ten minutes if he game are playing with great carefulness especially Zagreb cause this match will really give than an edge to their next game as they are regarded as underdogs in their group.

2700  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: September 13, 2022, 10:00:09 PM
I think Barcelona is going to punish Bayern Munich in this game today considering their current form at moment. No doubt Barcelona is in good form much more than Bayern and this game will prove it because Bayern has drawn two of their last matches in the German Bundesliga so this is a good moment for Barca to perfect their revenge. With the presence of Lewandoski in the Barcelona team, we are going to see more action as the prolific striker is going to face his former team and the players he is going to be the star man of the match.
So far, several opportunities have not been put to good use by Barcelona strikers, especially Lewandowski. He had a few chances but missed a goal, but that's good for now.

It was a tough match and I thought it was very interesting during the first half. Bayern Munich and Barcelona both get chances but so far it is still 0-0. I hope Barcelona can perform more optimally in the second half and score goals. I don't think there were many goals in this match. If Barcelona win, it's no more than 2 goals and so is Bayern Munich.
Interesting yeah the match was, but what baffles me is how Barcelona were so unable to convert a 10 goal on target they had in the first half of the game into a one goal. And moreso, Barcelona players were just falling on the pitch anyhow with the ball as if they were playing without confidence against Bayern.

Barcelona needs to do better than this, though today game had ended in Bayern favour but there's another day so they should make it count when it comes.
