Based on the current moved of the Bitcoin price from the beginning of this year, showed that there will be more recovery that will make investors to celebrate because the price of Bitcoin is still between $30,000 and $31,121 which is a sign that bearish season is about to leave the market for bullish season to take place. I think, $60,000 is possible for investors to experience before the end of this year 2023, because what happened last year 2022 that made market price to remain low through out the year will not happen in this year. And it will be difficult for long term investors to regret for their patient of holding, because the Bitcoin price will definitely increase higher in a way both long term investors and short term investors will be happy.
How are you  sure that the price isn't going maintain its position of 30k to 31k market cap through out this year. This year has been a good year for bitcoin no doubt about that but I still like to think that its going to be hard for BTC to achieve a height of 60k this year looking at how the price has been gradually moving and plus the fact that we are now heading to a phase where BTC would probably maintain its stand and wait for the halving to pass before probably shooting up very high. So my speculation is that the price is probably going to be around 35k to 40k by the end of this year.

Before investing in Bitcoin make sure you have a thorough knowledge of what you will investing. If you are hesitant and you still don't understand your decision you try to invest in a small amount because actual trading could be the best teacher. Also make sure that you will invest only what you can afford to loose. Never  invest all what you have you can diversify it or do the dollar cost averaging. Think so many times before investing so that you will not regret it what ever happens to your investment. Assess yourself if you will keep that investment for a long time or you just wanted to do a fast trading. The decision would still be depends upon you.
because most beginners also just go along with friends' suggestions or what they see on social media ads. they purchase assets at random for their investment. even using money from the needs they have.
the basic concept of investing, they will benefit if they choose the right assets and also have the patience to achieve their investment plans. many beginners think they want to get profits in a short time by investing in Bitcoin. and clearly it is the wrong owner.
Sometimes you don't get to blame them for thinking such because they might have been probably told the wonderful news that follows a bitcoin investment by a friend and all they could imagine is the huge profit they calculate will be there if they invested. Most times these advice are from people who have benefited a lot from bitcoin but the major issue is they don't actually explain to these newbies the risks that follows when you invest in bitcoin and again most of the newbie are just lazy to their own research they prefer going through shortcuts in life thats wanting to have huge earnings without probably taking big risks.
2684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How real?That football players required to bribe before they are allowed to play on: July 13, 2023, 05:57:14 PM
Hey guys, reading little story on Kylian Mbappe who on Thursday visited Cameroon on a charity with the deaf and other familiarization visit to his father's home town. He spoke with Joseph Dion Ngute, the Cameroon's Prime Minister, he was honoured visiting and I believe this is just like the humanitarian work some influential people do

But one striking revelation was that he would have been a cameroonian player if they weren't asking his father to pay them money before allowing him to play while he still trying to fix his career and French allowed him without payment.

Quote
"At first, I wanted my son to play for Cameroon, but someone at the Cameroonian Football Federation charged me money that I didn't have to make him play," he explained. " The French charged nothing."

I have also heard of some local stories about how some coaches require money from new footballers before they allow them on trier both in their clubs and national teams. Is this happening globally for new players who are still seeking to find a spot in clubs?

Do you think Cameroun miss Mbappe or it is Mbappe that missed Cameroun ?

https://theafricanhistory.com/2975#:~:text=My%20father
From the look of things it quite obvious that its Cameroon that missed out on a chance for one of the best players in the world to have grasp their playing Field and who knows what they would have achieved with him playing there, I mean look at the genius performance with the French team they almost won the world cup if not for faith that has already deem them to lose to the Argentines.

But sadly this kinda of events is what has been taking place in almost all the African teams because of the level of corruption that has eaten into the country's  system.
2685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Healthy mindset to save earnings from gambling on: July 13, 2023, 05:49:48 PM
Usually, people who win in gambling but not able to cash out or save their winnings and I think this has something to do with a Healthy mindset.
If you do not have the intention to save the wealth, you will lose all your winnings by risking them again in another gambling bet.
There's this delusional mindset or a believe set from gamblers that they could have more chances of winning bigger amount again after getting a win of some attractive figures. By that, they increase their bets and their risk only to end up losing all they have won back to the casino house. Gamblers do this forgetting that a gambler doesn't get lucky twice immediately after a big win.

Indeed mindset plays a role but it's has much to do with insatiable greed than the latter. Only that person that's satisfied with whatever good amount he has won from gambling can redirect the money in investing into others areas that would yield profits. So I think a good mindset goes along with satisfaction.
The major thing with gambling is that it is very hard to see a gambler content with his or her winnings as the taste to win more always surface and it's also quite natural as this is all human greed. I know satisfaction while will help out but its hard to see a gambler satisfied with his winning except he has control and he is not greedy then maybe he can divert his winning into an investment. But even if he does that he will certainly play again and there is a big possibility that he might lose one way or another and if that happens the money which he previously won has balanced with the one he recently lost because the losses are certainly going to be more than his winning.
2686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: July 12, 2023, 09:07:06 PM
I agree with your opinion and all of that, if it is based on really big intentions and determination then I am sure that even a crazy gambling addict can stop and recover from his addiction.
But the problem is there is this intention because it is difficult to have the intention and persistence to be able to stop and most gambling addicts really want to recover but when they try it they are tempted again to play games or bets that they have previously loved.

Saying how to stop gambling is easier than we imagine and of course to be able to get through all the challenges to stop is very difficult.

In my opinion, I think being gambler addict is a choice likewise abstaining from it is a choice. To me, I believe majority of the gamblers have no intention of quitting despite the pressure from friends and families. There's no manual for quitting gambling but at least there are known practices that's working for many people in controlling their gambling addiction. Some of these practices involved keeping yourself busy in the midst of people who not into gambling, minimize your access to betting platforms and of course reduce holding of funds.

Being a gambling addict is normal but gambling without sense is abnormal because from the original post, no sensible person will indulge in such a barbaric act like the said old man did. I felt for the little child and the mother.
I agree that stopping your addiction is actually a choice but the problem is that the choice is really hard to make and its not that they don't actually want to stop or they don't know that this act can destroy them, its just that some of them lack the will power to actually stop this habit because an addiction is really hard to stop especially gambling and drug addiction and most people are even an addict of both.
2687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: July 12, 2023, 08:54:58 PM
If PSG are really interested in Osimhen, then surely they will make an offer that Napoli will most likely find difficult to refuse. But I don't believe Osimhen is worthy of replacing Mbappe if he decides to go elsewhere. After all, Napoli really want their best striker not to go anywhere because they still need him, but of course if a team offers him a value that is hard to refuse then maybe Napoli will let him go.
Napoli basically doesn't want to release important players to clubs that aren't promising, while PSG excludes them. If I'm not mistaken, there has been a statement from Napoli that only PSG can make a fantastic offer for an Osimhen. Given that Napoli believes PSG will treat Osimhen well, especially now that the possibility of them preparing an option to replace Mbappe makes the path easier if Osimhen is interested.

PSG is trying hard to get Osimhen and has made an offer of 100 million euros to recruit him. PSG has set Victor Osimhen as a priority target to replace Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe still has 1 year remaining on his contract and it is believed that Mbappe will not extend the contract, because he is interested in Real Madrid and is likely to become part of Real Madrid after the contract with PSG ends. So a suitable replacement for PSG at the moment is Osimhen, and Manchester United are also interested in Osimhen but they can't overtake PSG because PSG has abundant finances and can seek 100 million Euros for Osimhen.
The main issue is not even if whether the both club has the funds or not, its actually the player choice in the next league he would want to play and I would like to think osimhen is actually eyeing premiere league football and would prefer a premiere league club than the French and both the Spanish team offer.
2688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: July 12, 2023, 08:49:30 PM
Now let's be sincere, will you also classify a successful gambler as an addict?
When you are rich you can get away with many things. Nobody, questions whatever you do rather people would give excuse on your behalf. Technically, a successful gambler can never be an addict or struggle with gambling addiction. Afterall, show me a gambling addict who is successful, people would say. But come to think of it, unless the successful person got his wealth through gambling and spends their whole day gambling they may be tagged addicts. However, if their wealth was gotten from hard work and they love to gamble, I wouldn't say they are addicted maybe it is just a hobby something that makes them relax.
Firstly I would like to point out that no one can actually be successful through their gambling because your success will always go back to the source where it came from whether in large quantity or small one. But for what you said about a successful taking gambling as a fun part of his life that I can relate very well and an example will be drake the hip pop artist, I mean the man is already successful and still loves to gamble and he doesn't gamble little funds as his stake are always high but no one actually calls him an addict.
2689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How was your first experience with gambling? on: July 12, 2023, 08:39:38 PM
Gambling is a game that has an addictive effect. Most people who have joined gambling sites will find it difficult to get out of the gambling circle. It doesn't matter how much you lose at gambling, as long as we still have money, we will continue to gamble

Can you share your first experience playing gambling? and who told you about gambling sites?

I myself know gambling sites from my own friends. I idly and try to deposit. Starting from playing with a little money, after a while I didn't know how much money I had spent playing gambling

Well my first gambling experience turned out to be a whole big trap for because it was on my first try that had a quite impressive win although it was during my secondary school days and my older friends were the ones that invited to the casino where I actually took my first try and had a win on that try and I can recall how I felt during that time. After that day I always went back to the casino never knowing this casino just hustle me and this time when I went back it was like rain with the losing streak.

Buhari did not remove fuel subsidy through out during his regime, mate. If na buhari remove am since then the price of fuel for no they where e dey now the price for don rise more than the current one since. we all know that, but wetin they there be say, when buhari they as the president of Nigeria, the actual amount of money that suppose to go where them they pay for the subsidy no they go complete, some set of people they chop am, and that is why by that time you go see say price they rise sometimes and fuel go scarce. Na because money wey suppose to go there other people they chop am.

Another move from the Arabian team and Al Hilal. This time they target Sergej Milinković-Savić, while Inter Milan and Juventus tried to hire this player who is under contract with Lazio until 2024.
They couldn't pay enough money and that's why Savić is going to play in Al Hilal in the next season for 40m.


Wow! Its like the Arab league is now becoming a center for good player to move to, since the full declaration of the football association in Saudi Arabia to turn their league to one of the most watched league in the world they have been putting all the talks into action because more Europe league player are now trooping to play there and if not for any reason for the fact that the league pays quite well.
2692  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Avoid Procrastination, Buy Bitcoin And Prepare For The Next Halving. on: July 11, 2023, 08:50:53 PM
What procrastination has to do with investing? When investing is more on a passive side. In fact, a lot of lazy people just try their luck in investing thinking it will bear them a good wealth later on. Procrastination only becomes a bad thing if you are already a poor person. Even if you badly want to invest, you cannot do it because you have no money in your pocket.

We are getting closer to the halving event and we can feel the vibe already because crypto prices are now starting to get stronger again. People should act now quickly before they regret and complain that the price is already high. We know, this is a common mentality here.
I like to think its not only those who don't money to invest that always procrastinate, someone who has the funds but lacking proper and full knowledge of what he is putting his money into can also procrastinate when it comes to acquiring some BTC because he will be skeptical about the price and thinking that would be thinking that every time he would want to invest is going to be the wrong time and so doing miss all the available opportunities to actually start an investment.

You know say money get spirit wey dey follow am and e go hard to see house wey the younger one nai dey feed and still get respect for the others wey be him senior.

Spurs of course doesn't want to let Kane go because he is their best player but if they can make some decent money for him, at least that would be good and they could say that they came out of that with as little damage as possible. Of course after that they need to get a new striker, I suggest someone cheaper and younger that they can develop into something bigger, and they should even sell Son as well, could make some money from that and get another younger cheaper player as well.

Spurs should look into what Dortmund has done and try to do the same thing, get young players, make them play at Spurs which already increases their value and then sell them later on to make tens of millions of dollars every year and build a better team slowly with that income.
For me, I think Harry Kane is the one who has decided by himself to actually stay in the club because if the guy really wants to leave the club he would have threaten them to leave and not sign any contract with Tottenham again because if his contract actually expires he will be free to go as a free agent.

On the other hand Tottenham are also scared of losing him because he is their best and also one of the beat striker currently in the world today but the club should consider his age and make arrangement for younger stars like you said .

2696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: July 10, 2023, 08:56:30 PM
Haha, addiction to gambling is lot a curse my friend, it's just a gambling disorder, lucky ones still find a way around their addictions before it turns chronic, while the unlucky ones, well, like you said, keep gambling even after they've gone bankrupt, they can go hungry the whole day provided they find some money to satisfy their gambling urge.
I know someone who made hundreds of thousands of dollars from gambling. But he got so addicted to gambling that he lost that money by gambling, he even sold his favorite bike and gambled with that money and lost. In fact, we have a lot to learn after seeing this kind of real experience, that we have to be emotionally strong in every place so that we don't have to put ourselves in bad situations due to our wrong decisions.
Many gamblers have committed same mistake and in most of the cases its not actually because they lack control over their habits, I like to think that greediness and not being content also plays a major contributory factor for this gambler to have actually gone A-wire and lost control to the extent of even selling his motor bike and other stuffs.

Can you explain me why i need to learned gambling?

Simply put, here only millions of money are managed by asset owners, so where i have no money. In fact, i have ideas about gambling, but I don't have the ability to spend money there.
Gambling is very interesting when you do it for fun and not for profit. You should only gamble with funds that you can afford to loss so that it isn't going to take anything from you. Don't see gambling as something bad and don't involve in it if your conscience is against it. Gambling has been part of human nature and has ever being there before cryptocurrency was created. I enjoy it when am gambling with friends on weekends. Gambling is bad when someone lack self-control on his gambling activities and turn into an addict.

Gambling like other habit turns very negative if abuse and how does someone abuse his gambling habit ? By playing and thinking that gambling can be your escape root to all your problem. Many gamblers see gambling as a way to earn massive which is not bad but should not be their major priority because the act is a two way thing which is loosing and winning.
2699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: July 10, 2023, 07:29:59 PM

Yes, Harry Kane already played with Tottenham for a long time, it is time to get a new team. Sure, Harry Kane becomes a special player in Tottenham, he showed that the team relies on him, he is Tottenham machine goal. He also becomes a captain that have a big role to lead Tottenham players in the field.

True, if Tottenham doesn't sell him in the current transfer window, Harry Kane will leave Tottenham with free agent in the next season. His contract expires in June 30, 2024. Or Tottenham may try to extend his contract for more years again.


One good reason for Harry Kane to leave Tottenham and join another team can be the champions league, we know Tottenham had a bad performance in the past and they couldn't get good results and that's why they even changed Conte and used another coach but it didn't work.
I think Kane wants to get some achievements in the champions league and this can be the reason for him to join Bayern Munich instead of staying in Tottenham.
Kane had so many opportunities to leave Tottenham in the past but he was very reluctant to leave the club because of the zeal that he has playing in England and Tottenham precisely. If not he would have been more successful in his football career.

I don't know maybe back then he thought that only him will be able toake a difference for Tottenham by winning title for his club all alone. I am happy that he has noticed that sticking to one club especially Tottenham will no longer benefit him if he wants to win the champions like league. I believe he will be able to achieve this,if he moves to Bayen Munich.

Kane is a very excellent players and he has proven this over the years by sticking with his club in the premiere despite big offers from different league giants like real Madrid and others but I feel taking or making the decision to leave the club now is rather a bit kinda late because he is almost at his low  peak point looking at the age left for him to be in his prime.
2700  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you use a VPN on a casino, even if it is not allowed in their ToS? on: July 10, 2023, 07:14:46 PM
Now, the question is.... Will you still use a VPN, if it is not allowed by the ToS on the site. What will you do if they "block" your account and take your balance?
VPNs should not be used in casinos that prohibit it in their TOS, although some casinos accept VPN use. In this case the gambler can conduct his normal gambling but can restrict his account after a big win. So as a responsible gambler each of us should be absolutely safe from our own place. While some gambling platforms are flexible with VPN usage, not all gambling platforms are the same. I would definitely avoid sites that don't allow VPN use. And if someone wants to use VPN with risk, he will be responsible for it.

But there are some casinos that look for excuses and very small things to punish the gamblers out of their money, and such casinos will never take even the smallest things lightly like using a VPN for only logging into the platform but not gambling, they will take that and use it against you only to confiscate your funds.
Indeed a lot of casino are actually looking for slight error from their customers especially when he or she might have acquired some huge winnings, I have seen many casino online restrict users of their big winning due to some violation of their Tos and the problem is no one actually have time to even read these TOS  in these gambling sites so for me I just go through the FAQ of the casino to actually have some insight not to violate any of their regulations.
