Can I know where I can find quality airdrops? I started doing airdrops but No idea whether they are scams or not. And also I have a question regarding tweeter tasks of the airdrops, they say to like their twitter page and retweet. but There are two options when it comes to retweet, "Repost" and ''Quote"
what should I do? retweet or quote? please answer
It's a matter of choice it's either you continue to airdropping probably luck might come your way however it's absolutely very hard to find a legitimate airdrops these days unlike in the past especially in 2018 when Bitcoin attained ATM a lot of projects with their airdrops were successful after listing unfortunately it's very hard to get credible and legitimate airdrops to make matter worse they are so many in twitter such that it's hard to differentiate between the legitimate ones and fraudulent ones personally I have given up on airdrops.

Chelsea are having more and more problems with injured players. Three players are out. Ugochukwu was forced to substitute due to injury. In addition, Palmer and Sterling will miss the next round because of five yellow cards. I have a feeling that at Chelsea, players drop out due to injuries faster than others can recover.
Pochettino is now in serious situation with injuries to some of his key players like Fernández, Cucurella, Robert Sánchez, Reece James, Ben Chilwell, W. Fofana while Palmer and Sterling are out on disciplinary ground though their next match is against Crystal Palace which I believe is winnable game if Pochettino did the needful by utilizing and managing his fit players since the match would be played at Stanford Bridge that is another advantage for the blues a win would ease some pressure off Pochettino'who had received a lot of criticism lately for the inconsistency of the team despite the huge investment on the club by Todd Boehly.


283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between Physical and Online Gambling which makes a person more addicted on: December 25, 2023, 01:14:07 PM
Online gambling is more addictive from my own point of view unlike physical gambling, I think the fact that a gambler gambling anonymously would create an avenue to become addicted because there wouldn't be any check on the gambler, I always feel unease and in discomfort because of people who knew me might feel disappointed that I am into gambling whenever I visit any physical gambling shop that is why I won't get addicted to gambling because I would have limited my appearance to the shop or always go to the shop once in a while that is if there is no online gambling sites, however with online gambling I can place as many bet as possible until getting addicted.

It's funny how YouTubers successfully influenced newbies that trading bitcoin is a get rich quick. Not realizing the fact that trading alone is hard, and it will be much harder when we say what you are going to trade is bitcoin which is certainly a high-risk asset. And the reason why such traders quickly enter the market to trade because of their hunger for profits, even though they are still in the process of learning bitcoin trading.

However, trading is hard and will always be. But once you get used to trade and you already accept the reality that there are inevitable losses in trading, then maybe you will easily understand how to trade Bitcoin successfully.
After watching such videos of various YouTubers, many people get inspired and decide to start tedding. YouTubers have plenty of reasons to be motivated by watching videos. YouTubers videos show that they have taken many futures trading and they have made hundreds of times profit in all futures trading. When they publish their video's thumbnail many new members are inspired by watching all the videos and they think it's very easy and they will be 100% successful if they buy any coins with money or follow youtubers videos. People who think trading is so easy, when they actually trade, they realize that trading is not as easy as they thought. I find YouTubers videos funny because many times they use other people's screenshots just to get views and basically they have very little idea about tedding.
Personally I considered those YouTubers  trading videos as an avenue to make money from number of views the higher the number of view the  higher money they earned I see no reason why would newbies after watching those videos just fell to trick of getting rich quickly through trading Bitcoin without any prior knowledge of trading,  they think trading is all about when price is below a Moving Average MA or EMA sell when price is above buy untill they got funded a start real Live trading before reality set in that is when they knew that trading is hard after incurring streak of losses and consequently got liquidated, infact some of them started trading with high leverage.

The first half of this game Chelsea has been pressing their opponent wolves but have failed to make good use of their chances.

Jackson need to work harder, he just need to learn how to convert his chances to goals, he should be very clinical and decisive in front of the goal post of their rival 18 yard box. Also Sterling gave up his own chances that would have put Chelsea in the lead in the game, the problem of Chelsea from what I have seen is not that they ain't good with the boll touches but they lack finishers to bring in the needed goals to give them the three points in almost every game.

Should they fail to make good use of prospective chances in the second half, at least wolves might suddenly take them by surprise and win this game with just a goal.

Is Raheem Sterling no longer a good finisher? He directly made Chelsea miss their best chance of leading in the first half of the game.
He had all the chances to pass the ball, chip over the Goalkeeper or send that ball into the left eof the goal post.
Jackson Nicholas Is a damn gambler, he should be used on the wings and not as a central forward. A player like his shouldn't be used for a big club like Chelsea.

You also have to praise the worthy, Wolverampton did well as they went to win today. This is not the first big team they have won at home this season, so I'm not mind blown seeing them win against Chelsea. ( Manchester City also lost two goals to one here. )

Pochetino also has got to be part of the issues with the club. He is not the man for Chelsea. How long should the fans keep trusting the process?
Honestly Jackson Nicholas underwhelmed performances against Wolves in today's match is becoming a recurrent dismal performance hopefully with the return of injured Christopher Nkunku who scored the consolation goal their centre forward would be formidable, Mauricio Pochettino' should start benching Jackson with exception of Sterling who is still useful for the team though he is also wasteful in front of goal nevertheless he can provide assist for fully fit Nkunku to score goals, personally I don't think  Pochettino should be responsible for the underperforming Chelsea side his players failed to deliver when it matter most just like in today's match against Wolves for instance Jackson was just clueless in front of goal because he was very poor in front of goal.
286  Economy / Economics / Re: Retirement Age for Workers - Does this Make Sense? on: December 24, 2023, 12:58:32 PM
Quote
France's Constitutional Council on Friday approved an unpopular plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, in a victory for President Emmanuel Macron after three months of mass protests over the legislation that have damaged his leadership.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/france-retirement-age-raise-64-approved-constitutional-council/


This so-called measure has several benefits and drawbacks. The elder employees can benefit from their years of experience if they are retained on the job for longer, which is one advantage. The drawback of this is that many workplaces will report low performance because there is an inverse relationship between a person's success at work and their deterioration in cognitive and physical capacities.

Regardless, what I think is that the government shouldn't shove it down the throat of people. Workers who are approaching retirement age should be given a choice after appraisal to keep working or retire.

What sense does this make? Would you agree or disagree?

I agreed that government should not forcefully retain it employees after attaining the mandatory retirement age or increase retirement age, it should be optional though majority of them would opt to leave however their wealth of experience would still be needed especially workers or expertise in health sector, technology, etc it might be very difficult for government to replace some of these key sector of the government replacing them with newly recruited employees isn't a bad idea though I prefer those employees who are about to retire retrain the newly recruited employees thereafter release them to retire because their productivity would wane as they aged in the job.

Oh yes, Liverpool and Arsenal only played a draw and it was an impressive match unfortunately there weren't many goals in this match even though we expected at least 3 goals. Arsenal is lucky to have managed to maintain their top position Liverpool should have been there because they were playing at home, but okay one point is not bad.
Liverpool and Arsenal's draw does not change their position because Aston Villa also got a draw so it does not make a change to the position at the top of the standings, but it will probably narrow the gap in points with Manchester City even though the match against Brentford seems to be postponed, but I think if they succeed winning three points will be a close gap and the competition at the top of the standings will be even tighter.

Playing at Anfield didn't make Liverpool able to win the full three points against Arsenal because Arteta was really good at strategizing so he was able to withstand every attack by Liverpool even though Arsenal were ahead and in the end made a mistake so Salah scored a goal to equalize the score. lol I regret betting on Liverpool.
It was a keenly contested match between Liverpool vs Arsenal I believe the gunners had up their game and look more formidable than the Arsenal we knew three or four seasons ago who would have been thrashed in Anfield sharing a point with in-form Liverpool at Anfield is worthy of commendation,  of course mistakes often resulted to goals scored by any team for instance zinchenko inability to mark and track Salah well gave Liverpool the opportunity to equalized also towards the end of the match Liverpool counterattacked after capitalizing on mistake by two Arsenal players who collided with each other while Declan Rice  dashed back to covered up  unfortunately the shot played by Arnold hit the woodwork.

Can You imagine how West Ham Utilized their opportunity and won the game, where as Manchester United was busy wasting all their opportunities and they were finding it difficult to score just a goal. I hope Eruc Hag is scaked right away, instead of the shame that he is bringing to the club.
Ten Hag will not be sacked, he did very well in his first season at the club, so they know that Manchester United are just passing through something like a temporary crisis. He will be giving enough time to fix the team. 

Luton are leading against Newcastle United, a very important win for them if they can make sure not to drop point and loose the advantage of the goal. Tottenham Hotspur are also leading Everton, and are just few points from the top of the fable. Good bouncing back for Tottenham after the turbulent period where they lost many key players to injury.
Erik ten Hag bad record so far this season would result to his subsequent sack imagine a big club like Man Utd  won j a single match in their last matches and lost 13 matches in all competitions this season even with injury to some of their players nothwithstanding atleast the club should atleast play a draw against West Ham today a week putting up a brilliant performance against Liverpool that ended goaless I was expecting consistency in their performance today's match yet I was very disappointed with team despite dominating the game with some glaring scoring chances, I believe Erik ten Hag job is at stake now
289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: December 23, 2023, 02:01:17 PM
Let's start with the simple choice: Do you consider yourself to have a gambling problem affecting your happiness, security, relationships, finances, etc? (Yes or No)
Now, here is something a bit different: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? Either you make enough income to call it "adult play", so you do not have real problems, and/or you simply stop for a long time. Then - months or years later - it gets worse again and you are in trouble.

(First question was above)
(Second question) Either way, when it's time to stop, how exactly do you do it? (For example) Change other habits, go new places, exercise more, stop drinking, simply "swear off" gambling... How exactly do you stop? Thank you.

 

The first major problem I encountered when I started gambling was fear, whenever I placed some bet on some soccer matches I picked that particular period I haven't learnt the nitty gritty of gambling and I often gamble with almost or half of my total fund so in the course of the game  I was often jittery by checking LiveScore every now and then until the final game, however making some research on gambling particularly gambling with the amount of money I can afford to lose thereafter I ensured that I placed all my bet with with just 5% of my total fund with that method I was able to control my fear and emotion and never bothered to check my bettings until after the matches.

Everton are looking to be in their best form at the moment as they had won 4 games in a row in the English Premier League without conceding a single goal. The defense of Everton are looking very strong and I think Tottenham might not be able to break down Everton and this match will ends up with a draw at the final whistle.

Four conservative wins in the EPL beating big teams like Chelsea and Newcastle. They have also qualified for the Carabao Cup semi-finals with a hard-fought win against  Fulham in Goodison Park. All these positive results can serve as a motivation for The Toffees to put up a good fight. Tottenham Hotspur has won just two games in four matches which has put them in fifth position. Everton have had a challenging season after the point deductions. But it seems Sean Dyche's side has put aside their past and is gunning to the top. I am also predicting that the game will end in a draw.
Truly Everton resurgence after their 10 points deduction is highly incredible infact the deduction had helped the club to up their games with a stunning winning mentality, I also agree with you on the likely outcome of the match which might end in a draw, I also agreed that inconsistency of Tottenham Hotspur in the league makes it difficult to place a win bet for Tottenham Hotspur with Yves Bissouma  a key player out of action due to red card though lately Tottenham Hotspur defeated Newcastle and Nothingham Forest in a back to back win, however this is not a yardstick to predict a win against Everton who are presently on top of their game.

Aston Villa can win easily today there is a reason to win tickets to UCL of course
Ollie Watkins will score at least one goal maybe in the first half
Football matches is now becoming difficult to predict especially EPL matches the fact that Aston Villa is having a good runs against big teams does not translate to a must  win against Sheffield United though the odd favors them to win and their desire or ambition to top the table briefly before Liverpool vs Arsenal match would also motivate the team to claim all the three points, however in matches like today game upset can happen such that Sheffield United though last on the EPL table might opt to play a defensive game and launch counter attack and it's a fact relegation battling teams are usually tough to play so Aston Villa should be well prepare to play a tough match.

I won't take any further risk once I took.my profit at 10x I might leave my initial investment for more profit especially when there is an upcoming positive Fundamental news like the next upcoming halving of Bitcoin might trigger a massive upsurge in the prices of majority altcoins thus after profit taken my initial investment can thrive with the outcome of the positive event, though at times it can be painful after watching an investment after profit had already been taken and price continue to pump till 20x or more, however price can also move contrary to the targeted profit and reverse or pullback to reduce profit.
293  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The best decision you can take on: December 22, 2023, 02:17:47 PM
It may sound silly, even in spot trading we also need to place a stop loss. This is very helpful if the coin we are trading experiences a sharp decline. This is very possible considering that in crypto sharp increases and decreases of up to hundreds of percent can occur. And many cases occur which cause our balance to be completely drained.
The use of stoploss works everywhere in trading, this is a lifesaver for the balance and assets we have. when the price has touched the bottom price and we set the styoploss at a 10% decrease in the price, it will be better than having to lose more than 10%. that way when we want to come in we will get a cheaper price too.
It's always advisable to plan a trade before entering the trade firstly calculate the amount of fund to be risked maximum of 5% thus the Stop loss should be placed below a Support zone or above a Resistance zone having calculated the entry price to the Stop Loss which mustn't be more than 5% while targeted take profit should be in the next Resistance or Support zone having considered the targeted reward which should be atleast 1:2 so whenever a stop loss is reached such a trade is cut out while account or portfolio would be protected likewise when price reached targeted take profit, however the trading strategy should be a working one.
294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling sites and current transactions fee on: December 22, 2023, 02:05:27 PM
This is the reason why I always keep gambling funds inside my gambling site accounts , yeah I leave small funds in each casino that I love to play being ready for this kind of situation .i have learned this many time before and yes now I know how to manage congested market.
so this may be lessons for those who loves to gamble when they have time to try let your small funds inside the site(of course like investing only the amount you can afford to lose) so you have multiple target , to have gambling funds ready? or to use as Holding amount.
I had also adopted this method of keeping or hodling my fund in my gambling site I believe this is the cheapest means to save high transaction fee cost due to congestion of the network alternative some gambling sites has an inbuilt conversation method where bitcoin can be converted to USDT or alternative altcoin thereafter the owner can transact it to any exchange, though it's not advisable to keep huge amount of any asset in a gambling site or exchange, however the amount used for betting isn't that much and profit earned is usually withdrawn when it has been accumulated enough because the withdrawal fee is fixed in most gambling sites irrespective of the amount withdrawn.

Manchester United is currently at the seventh spot with their performance is unpredictable, and they are having many internal issues as well but still they have time and quality to jump from here to in top ranks but for this they need to have solid strategy and better conditions at the dressing room without this we can expect better results which are important for the having chance for next season's Champions League few teams are doing good job and have much better chances which is going to be competitive for them as well.

Erik ten Hag is under tremendous pressure for having better results, but his own strategy is not helping his team which is surely wired situation for him and his management, but if he is not able to have anything positive in coming matches then surely we can expect another change here in this club.
United surprised everyone with their poor performance, this is not the result we all anticipated from the club. Manchester United are in mess currently, the fans understands the problem the club is facing and they work on improving the club's performance. Solid strategy have been activated and Erik Ten Hag is very careful when it involves the affairs of the club. Manchester United can become unpredictable prior to their current stats in matches. Erik Ten Hag just have to do what he intends to do because he's the manager and anything regarding the results scored in previous and present matches, he will be held responsible.
Man Utd poor performance can be partly attributed to injury to some of their key players and drop in form to some players like Rashford, Martial as well as Onana consistent errors in crucial matches, I think all those factors contributed to the poor performance of the club this season, honestly the club is truly unpredictable judging by their last match against Liverpool a lot of pundits and analyst had predicted a massive loss against Liverpool when Erik ten Hag released the list of players to play at Anfield which comprised of young inexperience players like Minoo, Ganacho yet those youngsters stood their ground and played to earned a draw.

Hey house someone need a few clips here, don't know if a post of this exact nature has been discussed though.

In a situation where the both spouse are gamblers. Husband gambles, wife gambles, how can both of them manage the situation in terms of finance and the family affairs especially when children are now involve so that the time both spends on gambling doesn't affect family moments and affairs in general.

Would it help if  one of the couple quit for the other and if that's the case who should quit for who.
In as much both couple gamble responsibly with moderation to avoid addiction nothing is wrong with both of them gambling, I had come across couples who take excessive alcohol which I believe is completely wrong, however in the case of couples involved in gambling I am sure none of them would quit it for another because it seem both of them are engrossed in gambling, thus way out is both of them should be transparent with their gambling activities by gambling with the amount of money they can afford to lose therefore it mustn't affect family expenses especially money for feeding, payment of bills and other relevant expenses atleast whatever income earned from gambling would also help their home

Everyone will predict Liverpool and Arsenal who are a favorite of champions this season and this is naturally done because these two teams are still quite consistent so far in the league. But compared to Arsenal I also agreed that Liverpool would be a much stronger candidate because it was mentally speaking Jurgen Klopp and the players were far more prepared than Arsenal.
This will be an exciting match because the battle for the top of the EPL standings is at stake between the two clubs Livepool and Arsenal, both are only one point apart and of course this victory is very necessary, Jurgen Klopp looks like he will surprise Arsenal at Anfield especially considering their previous failure against Manchester United with The draw was a bit disappointing, that's why against Arsenal, at least Liverpool should be able to get full points at Anfield.
There is nothing spectacular about Liverpool judging by their mediocre performance against a second team of Man Utd last weekend, I expected a star-studded Liverpool to win convincingly against Man Utd unfortunately didn't live up to expectations, meanwhile in their next match against a more formidable Arsenal it's no longer business as usual as they are used to defeating Arsenal in previous matches, this time around it's going to be a different ball game recall Arsenal has the best defensive record this season and I don't think the likes of Nunez, Salah, Diaz and Gakpo stand any chance of scoring against Arsenal strong defence line though I am predicting a draw match.

I don't really have much to say as regards to this post. It is just an avenue to hear your thoughts on which is better to invest both time, energy and resources in, mostly for a season as this, where we are experiencing economic uncertainty and ill-timed government banking policies.

So, given that the resources are available or not and you are presented with the opportunity to start/grow or buy an existing business just like Elon Musk, which option is more preferential and benefitial to you?



I prefer starting and growing a business from scratch this would enable me to make necessary amendment or correction if I encountered any problem with the business and as I grow the business definitely I would be gaining more experience on the business after many years in the business I would be able to tackle whatever issue that arises or occured having gained experience of many years on the course of growing the business, however it would absolutely be difficult to monitor an existing business without any prior experience a lot of businesses in my country requires some period of apprenticeship thereafter the person can startup the business I believe that is the best practice.

A quality trading set-up is mostly obtained from a higher timeframe thus a few of those setup is usually unfold or turn up weekly, however it quality is second to none provided that the trading strategy is working and these setups usually comes with a high reward to risk ratio, unfortunately newbies who have no experience in trading usually engaged in scalping in a bid to make quick profit by trading as many setups as possible irrespective of whether it's a perfect one or not unfortunately ended up losing their account, meanwhile slow and steady wins a race thus trading is a long term profession as the trader continue to trade more experience is gained.

Arsenal where able to defeat Manchester City in front of their own fans at the Emirates stadium. Liverpool has that same advantage in this game. They have a more experienced coach compared to that of Arsenal. Liverpool has more experience when it comes to battling for the league. There is every possibility that a draw could happen in this game, but I am backing Liverpool to get the maximum points.
Currently there are three teams in the top standings whose points are quite close and even almost the same as those of Liverpool and Aston Villa. This means that everyone also has to pay attention to the Aston Villa team apart from the Arsenal and Liverpool teams, who this week will meet in a match at Liverpool's home ground. Meanwhile, Aston Villa will meet the bottom team in the Premier League at home so the potential to win the match will be much greater for Aston Villa and it will certainly be quite profitable for Aston Villa if the Liverpool vs Arsenal match ends in a draw.
Aston Villa winning streak won't be consistent it's just like when Tottenham Hotspur started the league on a good note after they won their first few matches thereafter lose stream and started losing some matches, I believe the same thing is playing out now with Aston Villa their performance is like a flash in the pan, I watched their last match against Brentford they are not that spectacular and were lucky to win that match even against Arsenal which they narrowly won, so whatever the outcome of match between Liverpool and Arsenal doesn't favour Aston Villa in any way even if they defeat Crystal Palace, the two current best clubs in the league is Arsenal and Liverpool.
