The news about bitcoin was probably the most trending talk during the year of 2020 in my locality. after bitcoin reached an ATH. everyone around me was just talking about bitcoin but i never actually developed any interest not until last year when a friend of properly put me through on the whole bitcoin and crypto ecosystem and he referred me to join this forum for more proper and exclusive knowledge on bitcoin and so far it has proved reliable. So i would say i was expose to bitcoin by a friend.

Manchester United - Nottingham is an interesting game in terms of their head-to-head history. These two teams haven't faced each other since 1999. It is going to be a historical moment for these teams as a result.  Grin

Historical moments? There is nothing major going on about this and Manchester United is going to win the game. Manchester United might not be in top shape currently but there is no way that they are going to lose against bottom 3 teams. Nottingham has also conceded 30 goals so far out of 15 games so thats 2 goals conceded on every game
I wouldnt be so confident about Manchester United winning with ease the way you are saying it. Football is sometimes tricky and with all what i have so far Manchester United have been struggling to win games and no time is a bad time to write a history in football. Nottingham forest can shock Manchester United with a surprise win and start their second half of the season with a good spirit. The two have not faced each other for a long time now so who knows what's going to happen. The stats for Nottingham forest is really bad and they really need to step up their game and who knows if they can start with Man United,  we all saw the shocking Victory of the Saudi Arabians over Argentina so its very possible for Nottingham forest to win that game.

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 its Normal to have such cautiousness because you are afraid of making mistakes. But as a newbie you can post in other board but first you have to really learn about your environment before you can be able to offer and involved yourself in discussion. So its best you read and study before you start posting elsewhere, the beginners and help board is like a nursing ground where you can be free to ask whatever you need to know and also learned from answer from other newbies post replies. I had the same feeling when i joined the forum, for me it was confusing and i took my time and studied the forum before i started contributing.

We had a rough year, but this happens whenever bitcoin reaches a new high. Let us keep going with our DCA because it will come back stronger than before. In spite of the challenges we face right now, may we all radiate positivity to everyone we meet.

Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all of us here in Bitcointalk. I wish your season is filled with love and joyous sparkles.
Yeah 2022 was indeed a rough year for bitcoin fans and crypto lovers but it was also an opportunity for we the new comers and those who missed the opportunity to purchase when it was low. I also seize this opportunity this year and intend hodling it till the next ATH. this year was practically the perfect year to hoard as much bitcoin you can get your hands on, so it wasn't all that bad.
As the year come to an end,  i wish everyone a merry Christmas and hopefully a new record setting year for bitcoin @2023. May these last days be filled with merriment and lots of enjoyment

Xavi no doubt, is obsessed of tiki taka so that he really wants to direct Barcelona to tiki taka as much as he can.
Its not going to be easy to achieve the beautiful football we once enjoyed in watching Barcelona play. Recently the club has been struggling and xavi is really trying all his best to revive the club to its glory days but Barcelona are just lacking mid-fielders who can be able to hold the ball and be relax in that midfield and structure out those killer passes that breaks down defences. Barcelona is no doubt known for their tiki taka style of play but if we compare the player who were present during the time of this wonderful football we can see the difference is very clear, players like andres iniesta , xavi, neymar and leo messi controlling the game play of Barcelona made it very easy for Barcelona to execute this beautiful football,  so if xavi wants to play this style he needs to get players who are capable of extraordinary brilliance in the field of play.

I don't think the relationship between messi and mbappe will be affected since mbappe has already won the world cup i think he will be more motivated than ever to win the champions league now that he lost the world cup the same goes for neymar i personally think its a matter of time before psg or man city win the champions league considering the quality players they have every season.
Psg and manchester city indeed have great players but winning the champions league has been  a major problem for the both teams, and why is that? Playing in the champions league has to do with experience and most club lack players with experience that have been there and know how to handle the pressure the champions league brings. Psg however have a better chance this time because their team is currently at their highest pick of strength and with two of their world class currently in their best form , i think they have both the quality and the experience now to win the champions league.

It is the festive season, and it comes with a lot of expenses, both planned and unplanned. The planned expenses are usually higher than normal because marketers take advantage of the season and increase the prices of their commodities and you spend more that usually budget. The unplanned in this season is that you may have some visitors either family or friends and will have to spend some more money entertaining them. For people who have a strict budget for gambling, I would like to know if your budget for gambling has reduced, or if it remains the same?
Its the festive season no doubt about that and yeah its comes with alot of unnecessary spendings, in my locality here the period is celebrated with so much festive activities and its celebrated mainly by christains and you wondering if the period has affected anyones gambling plans  totally depends how he or she feels about this period. For me i don't think its affects me in my gambling since gambling is not an act i put under my budget. While for others i think your topic is going to be the other way round especially if he or she does not gamble responsibly.

Truly sorry for your losses. Menhh you must have gone through a lot emotionally and mentally but i hope you discovering this forum will help you alot in your journey in the cryptospace.
I joined this forum due to the interest i developed for bitcoin but i was guided by a friend who is familiar with the forum. The news of how bitcoin has been so good in my locality was the current trend everywhere, although bitcoin was banned in my country as an illegal currency but that didn't stop people from trading through peer to peer transaction all around. I was confused about bitcoin at first, but since i joined i have been able to understand alot and i have also turned an investor in bitcoin by purchasing some reasonable amount of bitcoin and hodling it for a long term investment. I never believed i would even be the telling people about bitcoin now and all that is because of the forum and the knowledge i have gotten from the forum.

As a Manchester City supporter, of course I'm happy that Manchester City could beat Liverpool in last night's match and with that victory made Manchester City advance to the quarter-finals as well as get rid of Liverpool as the defending champion.
Our elimination last night in the EFL Cup tournament was not a painful one as a Reds supporter. The 3-2 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium gives us the opportunity to concentrate fully on the two bigger competitions which are the Premier League as a whole and the UEFA Champion League. At least we need to prepare to play Aston Villa on the 27th as the first Premier League match after the Qatar 2022 World Cup break.
I think Liverpool fans are just giving excuses for their loss as they see it as an advantage to focus more on other competition like the premiere league and champions league. Through out the beginning of the season Liverpool have been struggling to be consistent in terms of their performance and have lost matches that i supposed would even be counted  as easy wins for them. So yesterday loss at the hands of Manchester city was expected as the winning team was so much better in performance than Liverpool. I don't think Liverpool is going to challenge Manchester City and arsenal for the title this season, the absence of sadio mane in the team has really affected Liverpool and the faster they adjust  the better for them because the second half of the premier league is about to start and i don't think arsenal who are currently leading the table have any plans of leaving there anytime soon.
2751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: December 22, 2022, 08:21:46 PM

The match has started. Both teams can score goals is the best bet options rather than having to pick a team, Liverpool is a very tough opponent for Manchester City. So far Liverpool have been able to score at least one goal in the last 5 matches, also before Liverpool could win against Manchester City. Even in the last 5 head to head matches City never won, possible we can see this match end in a draw with high odds 4.30?

Manchester City are the favorites today obviously based on the team's recent performance if you compare the last 5 matches of course Liverpool have dominated more but now the situation is different since Sadio Mane left. I bet on Manchester City to win in the first half it's a bit risky but yeah let's just see.
Goal!!!
The beast haaland has resume duty and started scoring again from where he stopped. Manchester City were really in form before the world started and with this kind of form no way Liverpool that are struggling is going to stand a chance of winning. Your first half win prediction is currently going well and i think Manchester City may even double their lead by the end of the first half. For me i just played the game an over 2.5goals by the end of full-time and i need more two goals from either teams for my predictions to be correct.
2752  Other / Off-topic / Re: Be The Judge... on: December 22, 2022, 07:19:32 PM

In this case who do you think is at fault, who make the mistake?
Is it the game shop that allowed the gambler play from an unsettled winning?
Or is it the gambler who gambled too much and refused to believe that he has gambled all his unsettled winning away?

Let's discuss and you be the judge.

Well personally I think i have experienced such scenerio before in my area and all this actually boils down to the person who won the lottery,  i think he is just an irresponsible gambler who lacks control over his gambling habit. The first mistake he did was to ask for the attendant to play more games for the money to be deducted the from his winning because the moment one gets lost in the act, you truly can't know how much you have used because at the time you will be confident that you still have money and may continue playing till you exhausted everything @#addiction.
But for the case of calling thugs and fighting , i think the punishment given to both parties was actually fair.

no one actually knows how or what is going on with people until they truly open up and share a little insight to their world. Sir in your story shared, i must say truly you are a real fighter and have fighting ever since to outwith the snears of life. As i read your story i felt really sad because life has not been all that fair to you. Life is just full of surprises and changes  so i pray that it surprises you and changes your whole situation for you in a good way. Sir hope you get well soon and recover with speed as you have been and still a figure of impact to the life of many other people around. Wishing you a speedy recovery sir.

I can't wait for the Premier League to resume. The World Cup was a much needed break for some players and also the managers to go back to the drawing board. We'll see if the momentum built by Arsenal will continue or will the other contenders start catching up. The Gunners would probably get six more points before the year ends but their January schedule is going to be tough.

I think the premier league is going to be in full action on Boxing Day thats 26 December. Arsenal have really surprised everyone by holding up their position on the league table but i think if arteta doesn't make any significant signing to the team during this January transfer window before its closes, it going to really have a great effect on the team performance next year because most team are now ready to take on arsenal on the second leg of the premier league and one or two signing to the team will just give the team an extra edge in maintaining their stand in the league table. I would propose for arteta to make a signing towards an additional striker added to Gabriel jesus just to strengthen the attack for them because in other for arsenal to secure the title they need to be in all the goal scoring form they can get, why?  Because goals win matches and winning matches gives your 3point which is needed to win the league.

@ginsan while it’s true that Bayern have injured player’s but PSG too have problems of their own as Mbappe will be psychologically effected and that could harm PSG chances of winning. Furthermore even with these injuries I feel that Bayern will put up a strong fight, and PSG will have to hope that Mbappe and Messi can work together otherwise they’ll find it difficult to win this fixture.
Mbappe's psychological issue will be resolved before the match because Mbappe, who is now a football hero, also needs the Champions League title.
What happened in the World Cup is normal in football because that is the nature of the game; you either win or lose, but Mbappe's effort was incredible, but luck was not on France's side, and they lost on penalties.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, can play very well without Mane and perform very well because they have good players who can defeat PSG as well.
The game between psg and munich is not going to be an easy game and especially now that the world cup just ended and two of psg forwards are in their best forms @Lionel Messi and mbappe,  i think it won't be so easy like you are saying for Munich to defeat this psg side especially now that sadio mane who is an essential player for Bayern Munich and a prolific goal scorer in the team is not going to feature in the clash, i think his absence is going to really be a factor in this clash between the two clubs.

We could also argue that Argentinian goalkeeper didn't deserve a golden glove. Look at this comparison between Martinez and Livakovic:


So do you agree that Martinez deserved a golden glove reward as the best goalkeeper on the tournament?
Wow!!
This is an impressive stats for livakovic and i never knew he is this good. With this kind of stats i think he deserves the golden glove award but this reward is not only given to the player involved by his stats performance,  i think the factor of where your team ended in the competition is also considered because in a situation where the goalkeeper who won the trophy contributed  and perform very well in competition  and is compared with another goal keeper whose stats is also impressive but didn't win the trophy, its only fair for the award to be given to the winner of the competition just like in the case between Livakovic and Martinez. So i think there is nothing wrong given the award to Martinez although Livakovic was impressive in his performance but for the fact that Martinez won the trophy, i think he deserves the award and glory.

2759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: December 20, 2022, 03:08:09 PM
It's almost like a usual scenerio in every transfer window that Manchester United will have a number of players on their list which they will end up buying none lol. Antoine Griezmann to Manchester United feel unrealistic to me though but we shall see whether Manchester United can go against odds and pull this one through. Griezmann was so impressive in the world cup and I'm pretty sure that is why United are interested in him.
I do not see any problem in getting Antoine Griezmann even though some fans may think that Ten Hag won't sign him because he is old and want his focus is on building young average players.  
He'd be playing as central forward to drop deep so Bruno can get run off him, going wide and everywhere else on the pitch creating chances of play for Rashford and Antony.
Manchester United are eyeing Antoine Griezmann who has performed well in the World Cup, and they hope that Antoine Griezmann will answer all they need right now. They have the chance to get him, but I also have a little doubt that a partnership between them will work and if we see Antoine Griezmann playing for Manchester United. I enjoy these rumours because almost every player that is rumored to be joining Manchester United doesn't happen much.

I'm curious, is Antoine Griezmann currently still on loan from Barcelona or has he been completely re-owned by Atletico?
But apart from the contract, I think that at 31 years of age, it still seems like the ideal age and not too old either. So, if Manchester United are really going to sign him then I think it might be the right choice because anyway, it would be better if there are more experienced players in the team.

Antoine Griezmann has been doing quite well in La Liga so far by having five goals so far, with such a performance, Antoine Griezmann can still be relied upon to become a team's goal machine.
At least if Antoine Griezmann is at Manchester United then Manchester United has a squad with good quality when rotating, so bringing in Antoine Griezmann is not something wrong because of course Erik ten Hag will have more options in organizing attacks.

I agree,Griezmann is not that old and could be a nice add on in the attacking of Manchester United,he can play for another couple of seasons at full power until he becomes 34 where most players start going down in performance because age does not permit anymore to be a shiny player like these guys have been usually in their 23-28 which their prime.

I think he is still owned by Atletico and Atletico would be getting good money from such transfer considering his age which is not a young player anymore so if they manage to sell him to Manchester United can be a great move for Atletico which with that money can buy some new much needed players for them.
Manchester United are just desperate for a signing and i think antoine griezman is a little advance in terms of age. This Manchester United team are in a stage of total rebuilding and don't need anyone or any player that would be a liability to the team and i think thats the reason for erik tan hag and Cristiano Ronaldo conflicts in Manchester United which lead to him leaving the club. No doubt griezman is an excellent player and he has showed that during this world cup but the age factor would soon catch up to him and Manchester United need players that are young and vibrant in other to keep up to the standard of the old days of alex Ferguson.
So griezman is an excellent player but signing him is not the best option for manchester united now because of his age.

OP is trying to let you know that PSG is a good clubs that has world class players,imagine the two rival in the world cup which is Messi and Mbappe are both playing in PSG presently and they are the ones on peoples lips about their brilliant performance in this world cup. They were also the two challenging themselves on who will be highest goal scorer. This is reputation and shows the quality of PSG.

I have also thought of this myself when I noticed it and all I could do was to give PSG kuddos for having these great players in their club. PSG are presently inform and only Bayern Munich is the challenge which they have. Superstars have also played in PSG likewise Real Madrid.
I think op,  is really just trying to point out that Lionel Messi has joined the list of psg players that have won the world cup. Although you are right that psg has  good class of players and individually these players have achieved enough in their football careers but the main point here is that all the above mentioned players won the world cup after they sign and played for psg.
But what baffles me most about this psg club is that with all the great players that have played for psg, they still  haven't won the uefa champions league which is truly a dissapointment for such a big club like psg.
