321  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price is going to touch all time highs on: March 07, 2024, 02:07:18 PM
Bitcoin price has already touched 69000 thousand dollars, which is the highest price of 2021. So how reasonable do you think it is that the price of bitcoin will touch 70k dollar again if it takes another step forward?
Everyone is happy that bitcoin price has gone above the previous ATH before the halving, and this has made so many investors to be excited, and some have started selling their coins, especially those that bought when bitcoin price was below $20k. I read it on cointelegraph.com that Gold and bitcoin price reached a new ATH on the same day, but different hours, ever since the creation of bitcoin. I am expecting bitcoin price to reach $150k and above as the new ATH for this circle. I will take profit, when bitcoin reaches my price target, so that I don't get greedy and miss out selling in the bull run.

City and Arsenal are currently in beast mode winning every single opponent that comes their way, Arsenal’s current results in the league has been surprising, wining back to back matches with 5 goals margin which can only mean one thing that they more than ready to challenge for the title this season.
So far Arsenal is the team that breaks the opponent's goal the most and even in the last 7 matches Arsenal in the league they have managed to create as many as 31 goals and obviously they are quite savage for small team, not different like Arsenal, Manchester City has also so far been able to be a team that is quite ferocious in defeating their opponents including with an extraordinary comeback when destroying Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium,  I think both teams will continue to show their sharpness in the league in the coming weeks.

Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal are currently competing fiercely to be the best at the end of the season and apart from Arsenal's ability to score a lot of goals when facing a team that is indeed lever below Arsenal, it is necessary that Arsenal can also do this when facing big teams, currently games that rely on teamwork are indeed the hallmark of Arsenal so they are able to score many goals in the game against Sheffield,  But I think their real test will be to maintain consistency when they face big teams who have the potential to make it difficult and derail them to win trophies this season.



Arsenal is getting really hard to deal with, which shows how much they needs those trophies this season. The top 3 teams on the table are also ferocious in this case, Arsenal cannot easily take the first spot on the table, Liverpool are not giving in, same with Man City, they are keeping their best not to fall out by any chance,if any those, retrieving that spot is not guaranteed.
All three top clubs in the Premier League table are serious about winning the trophy this season. I think Arsenal will get close to the top of the Premier League table soon. This weekend, Arsenal will enter second place in the Premier League table if they beat Brentford on Saturday, because Liverpool or Manchester City will drop points on Sunday.
Exactly, Liverpool vs Man City match is an opportunity for Arsenal to move to Seco d position because one of them must win the game. However, if the match ends in a draw, Arsenal will still be in the second position. It is only when they fail to win Brentford that they will remain on the third position. On Saturday, Arsenal will lead Manchester united with two points and stay second on the table. A good opportunity for Arsenal to continue the title race to see if they can move up to the first position later, before the end of the season.

Is gambling about luck and many people think like this, but actually winning can be influenced by several other factors such as effort, strategy and also intelligence which can influence the chances of winning.
And if gambling is just luck, why do we have to do research, by feeling, calculating numbers, and so on. And if it is true or pure 100% luck, it is better to play without reason, just guessing or choosing without any effort, intelligence or strategy.
And although luck is a key factor in gambling, we also need to have special skills, effort, intelligence and strategies to be able to increase the presentation of the chances of winning.
From my observation on gambling, if you like ha e all the skills, knowledge, and strategies in the world,  you will not win the bet if that day is not a lucky day for you. There are some games that are 100% luck, and nothing more. Games like slot is only based on luck. Other casino games are based on luck, ii is sportbet, that might need skills and research with analyzing,and those games are also based more on luck..like 90% luck. This is why it is called gamble because it is hard to get the outcome of a game accurately, and that is why a lot of people are losing more than they are winning, no matter how they have the knowledge to analyze the game or skill on the game.

To invest in bitcoin, you will need money to buy bitcoin, and for you to get money, you must have a mean of income. What i understand is that parents should not allow their children to depend more on only going to school, but they should also take them to places where they can learn a skill to assist them in case there is no employment after school. Also the youths should try to be creative and use to the internet, so that they don't depend on government for jobs, and get jobs online, since the offline jobs are limited to some certain people. When you have an income then you can invest in bitcoin with rest of mind without panic. What I think that parent should do is to teach the potential of bitcoin, and the advantage of investing in bitcoin to their teens, and if possible buy them some fraction of bitcoin for them to hodli in their noncustodial wallet and watch how the price of bitcoin rise and fall, so that they can have the experience of the volatile nature of bitcoin that it is worth investing in.

Girona has also experienced a decline in performance since the middle of the season. But we can understand that because Girona was not the top team from the start. It's just that Girona made a surprise by appearing stunning since the start of this season. But we cannot understand Barcelona's decline. Because the squad depth that Barcelona has is actually better than Girona. But their current ranking which is below Girona also indicates that Girona is still better than Barcelona this season.

It seems that this week all the top teams except Atletico Madrid are not faring well. Because Real Madrid, Girona, Barcelona and Real Sociedad all failed to get full points. And only Atletico Madrid managed to get full points this week.
Barcelona is already a weak team after Messi left them, Barcelona now is full of old players which sooner will retire.
Barca wasn't weak team after Messi left, they win the league last season, and we were singing the praises of Xavi and Barca player. It is just too strange to see how we forget things easily. However, people are not happy with their current performance because Barca is always on a good form most times, but this season is the season that they have put in a poor performance in the games. The problem is lack of funds to buy new quality players that has being their hinderance on have a stable quality performance. If not Xavi would have bought good players. There are always difficult times for most clubs, and no club will know the exact time, but it is how the coach can manage the situation on ground that matters a lot.
327  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin all time high, is it ETF effects or pre halving cycle on: March 05, 2024, 10:51:15 AM
From the look on how the price of bitcoin is skyrocketing, the price might price the previous ATH by the end of next week. This is because if you look at the price movement for two weeks ago, it has being going up in a way that it is unimaginable. I believe that, it is the approval of bitcoin ETF that is causing the pump, because last year before the approval of bitcoin ETF this year January, it was everywhere and most investors knows that once the ETF is approved, bitcoin price will skyrocket making it to pass the previous ATH, but no one expected to see this before the halving. We might see a price of 70k before the halving.

if I buy bitcoin hold it in the exchanger in stake so I can get additional returns.
if in the addres, yes, most of the results of the signature campaign or bounty. if buy I never send it to a personal addres because of the sending fee, what's more, when the bitcoin price is expensive, the sending fee is calculated to be expensive too. so it's better to stake it in the exchanger at all.
crypto players must have had bitcoin whether they got it from airdrop bounty faucet or signature campaign must have had bitcoin.
Bitcoin was never designed to be kept in an exchange or stake your bitcoin in an exchange, and it is very risky because you might end up losing your bitcoin. Transaction fee increase due to rdinals then shouldn't be an excuse for us not to keep our bitcoin in a self custody wallet. There are a lot of risk attached to leaving your bitcoin in your exchange. Don't allow the little profit that the exchange promise to give your enter your head, because they will do whatever they like with your bitcoin, and what if the exchange pull an exit scam or got hacked, you lose.

Barcelona seems to deserve to lose the La Liga title this season. The squad did not perform optimally when they had the opportunity to narrow the points gap with the top of the standings. Girona was lucky because Barcelona again failed to win the match, even if Girona lost, Girona was still ahead of Barcelona.

Really not sure what makes Barcelona's performance less effective than it is now. They have a good squad in attack, but this is not reflected in the way they finish the match. In my opinion, the draw against Bilbao was very disappointing, because Barcelona really wasted the opportunity to get closer to Real Madrid, who previously failed to win against Valencia. So, an 8 point lead keeps Real Madrid safely at the top, Girona and Barcelona are the two teams that failed this season I have to admit.
Were you thinking that Barca will be able to have the hope of winning Laliga this season. They didn't just lost it yesterday, they have already lost it since last year December, when they were unable to be consistent with their matches. Girona has been the only one threatening Madrid on the title, but they have also lost it too. Barca should think of fight for the second position instead of having hope that they can win the league when it is impossible for that to happen. However, no one can tell if Barca will still lose or draw more matches.
330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 04, 2024, 04:38:21 PM
It's really unfortunate that Manchester United lost the Derby game after being in a winning position. The players showed poor performance and lacked team spirit, and the tactics were not up to par. City's performance yesterday was exceptional and showed how important it is to convert possession into scoring chances efficiently. Onana needs to step up his game; those goals could have been prevented if he was more focused. Additionally, the defenders, especially the defensive midfielders, need to improve as they were off their game and made some crucial errors.

Just because they score one goal and take the lead doesn't make them the winner, the important thing is to be ahead when the match is over. Everyone who watched the match saw that Manchester City would turn the match around, they played much better. Onana was not bad, in fact, if the score was not different, it is thanks to him. United's defense was generally poor. Any team concedes a goal against City anyway. That's why United needed to find more chances to score goals, but they couldn't do it. Even though Manchester City are currently in second place in the league, they play the best football in the league and the number one favorite for the championship.
We all know how United was struggling to survive in the league, and their best record so far this season was recently that they won straight four matches, before they got defeated by Fulham last two weeks. This shows that United have no quality to play with City, and become victorious, because they don't have what it takes to do the job. City played like the defending champions yesterday, and United played like someone who is depending on luck to win the game, without adding much effort. I don't know if they already know that it will be a difficult match for them, but just had to see if they can draw the match with the early goal scored by Rashford. They played better in the first half, than in the second half. City took advantage of the second half, and used it for a come back to win the match with three goals that they scored.
331  Economy / Speculation / Re: When is next significant correction coming? on: March 04, 2024, 10:19:26 AM

It was consolidating for so long now! Please share your thoughts on to when another correction may be expected?
OP, nobody knows when the next correction in price will be. This is because no one can predict accurately the price of bitcoin because of her high volatile nature. I will advice you not to wait for the dip, because it might never come. As you can see we are expecting the halving next month, and the way bitcoin price have been pumping recently, makes it difficult for anyone to know what will happen next. If you have the money, it is better that you buy now, instead of waiting for when the price will dip, because you might end up missing out. Don't be the type of people who are waiting for bitcoin price to come to the price that they want before they will start buying, so that you don't sit on the fence watching investors on the bull run, smiling and taking profit. You can use 10% of your income to buy bitcoin regularly through DCA, either weekly or monthly. Also don't forget not to use the money for important purpose to buy bitcoin, because you will end up selling, even when the price dips below your entry point.

333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 03, 2024, 06:59:32 PM
An exciting and tense match is currently underway, two strong teams in Serie A are fighting for the 4th position in the Serie A standings, when I started watching, the match had entered the 42nd minute and the match between Atlanta and Bologna could be my alternative to watch because it did look quite exciting and balanced after previously enjoying the Premier League match between City and United,  At the moment I see both teams playing quite impressively and Bologna who are 1 goal behind try to keep applying pressure when to catch up with them when the first half match is about to end.

The first half has ended temporarily with the advantage of Atlanta, I don't see how the process of the goal happened but in my opinion at this time Atlanta actually has a better chance to seize the 4th place which was previously controlled by Bologna, although one goal is not certain to be the final result of the game but at least the Atlanta players can now be more motivated and put pressure on Bologna.
It's quite interesting to see the current competition between Bologna and Atlanta who are trying hard to qualify for the Champions League and honestly I am very curious about what will happen in the second half, will Atlanta be able to add to their lead or will Bologna be willing to give 4th place to Atlanta?
The match is on the extra time which is an additional 4 minutes. Atlanta have lost the game, because they were unable to score any goal in the second half. Atlanta was winning in the first half with 1-0, but Bologna came from behind in the second half to score two goals. The first goal was scored by a penalty kick by Joshua Zirkzee on the 57th minutes with a beautiful penalty kick to equalize the goal. While the second goal was scored by Lewis Ferguson to put his club on the lead. Atlanta was unable to equalize the second goal scored by Bologna, which made Bologna to win the match, and took three points home. Bologna is now on the 4th position with a total of 51 points. Atlantis have moved down to 6th position on the table ahead of Napoli. This is the first season that Bologna will win Atlanta home and away since 1967.

It has not happen to me because my wife is not a gambler. Anyone that gambles with other people's money is not suppose to be a gambler because, gamblers should have a means of income to take care of their gambling activities, otherwise they will do all sort of things to make sure that they satisfy their gambling urge. If it was my wife I would tell her to quit gambling, because it had shown that she will likely become an addict, that is if she has not already, and she will still gamble with an amount bigger than the one she lost. We shouldn't entrust money to gamblers because they will end up using it to gamble chasing their losses believing that they can win it back.

I never thought De Rossi was that experienced or good enough to manage the club As Roma. But damn me to forget that he knows the club very well in and out and has been a legend.
It was the right call for the management of As Roma to show Jose Mourinho the exit door. This is the same Rossi using the same players within the squad to go ahead on the league standing.

Jose Mourinho should take a season or two of for real from coaching amd managing duties, he should go on vacation and work on his return back to football.
Many Chelsea fans are currently calling out for his return back to the Premier League Competition and that would beba great one definitely.
AS Roma might not be in the UCL but they're trying their best to hook up with important developments. Jose Mourinho only left because AS Roma board didn't no longer see any good use for him, instead they comply within themselves to settle for a decision they all thought was best for the club. However that decision made have strengthen the performance of the club and they're improving in their games and performance. I must give Daniele De Rossi his accolades because it's not an easy job to be delivering excellence results in his status as headcoach for the club.
I was among those that criticized De Rossi that he will never be able to love Roma forward to achieve victory, but I was wrong because I underestimated his coaching skills. He has shown that he is a skillful coach to start with a club that is having difficulties in winning matches, and he revived Roma to a good form that they are now dangerous to their opponents. They have won most games since he took over from Jose Mourinho. Roma chance is very slim to qualify for the Champions league next season.
336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don’t play gambling with drugs or in half sleep on: March 01, 2024, 03:04:07 PM
People who are under the influence of alcohol will not think about the impact of the words or actions they do, because they do it in a semi-conscious state or perhaps not even consciously. It's the same with those who gamble under the influence of alcohol, of course they won't care about the amount of bets they make and they won't care about the outcome of their gambling, winning or losing, they won't care, because they are under the influence. alcohol they will feel happy and right with what they are doing even though it is a big risk for themselves. and it is true that what you said is likely that they will only become aware when they are conscious or the effects of the alcohol or drugs they consumed have worn off, and perhaps they will regret their actions which were carried out unconsciously. So in my opinion, don't gamble when we are under the influence of alcohol or anything that makes us unconscious. As much as possible we have to gamble consciously, because even if we are conscious, gambling often results in losses, especially if it is done unconsciously, it is still good if luck is on our side where we win through actions carried out unconsciously, but even so, our situation is not realizing the big possibility that bad things could still happen.

It's true that what you said is that gambling is not free and cannot be taken lightly, because money is the main thing that must be present in gambling, so we can gamble, but if there is no money then gambling cannot be done, unless currently there is online gambling. demo-based, it can be done without involving money or without having to deposit money first, but the sensation will certainly be different from gambling using real money. and also many people experience big losses, maybe it's because they take gambling lightly, being confident in being able to win at gambling is good, but sometimes being too confident is also not good. It's true what you said, if we gamble under the influence of alcohol then it's very likely that we won't care about anything, including the outcome of the gambling, losing or winning, because at that time we are in an unconscious state or as you said, in an unconscious state. sane.

Lol, the demo mode isn't gambling anymore, as the player doesn't expect any money in return. Hence, running out of money means no gambling. But a determined addict wouldn't mind doing illicit things to fund his gambling habit. Most of them began from gambling with substance, which made them chronic gambling addicts. People, recently, when they start something hardly stop it, and the habit gets to affect the player for a long period. Hence, avoiding alcohol as a gambler is fine and gambling on substance doesn't help gamblers in any way. Continuously practicing this habit, will only get the player broke, regardless of his financial status. As the person doesn't mind wagering all his money at a go. Even when they win, the player wouldn't take his profit, instead he's wager more, the best advice is not to try this, as Op suggested.

wait a minute, why do you say demo mode is not gambling? Is it because it doesn't use real money?
In my opinion, it's the same as gambling but there are no rewards or benefits, because you don't have to deposit money to do it, but this is just to feel the sensation of gambling.
I disagree with you that demo is gambling. Whatever that you don't stake on or use money for a bet, is not gambling, but just a game.

Quote
gambling, the betting or staking of something of value, with consciousness of risk and hope of gain, on the outcome of a game, a contest, or an uncertain event whose result may be determined by chance or accident or have an unexpected result by reason of the bettor's miscalculation.

It is not good to gamble when you are dizzy or feeling sleepy, because you will not be able to make a good analysis of the game, or you might end up betting without stop because you are not with yourself. Neither is it good to gamble when you are on hard drugs, so that you don't run at big loss, because it will be impossible for you to quit at the right time, and you may use all the funds on you to gamble, and run at big loss.

If a pastor gambles, maybe he does not see gambling as something bad to him. However, if he is only gambling for fun, maybe there is nothing bad there, since he is not after making profit with it. However, I know that most pastors are against gambling and that is why a lot of people thinks that gambling is bad because they preach about it, and this is the first time that I will hear that a pastor is gambling. Gambling responsible is what really matters, because I feel that in whatever that we are doing, and we have self control over it is not bad. Too much of gambling is bad because it will turn you to an addict.

It is not all the time that we would have time to watch all the matches that we bet on, due to some important issues on ground, that is worth handling than watching football for entertainment.

Too late for Dca this bull run. Fat finger green button
No time is late to DCA, as long as your are not a short term investor. Any new investor that is investing in a long term can invest now even at 62k price. This is because his average bitcoin price in four years time will balanced, because you are buying bitcoin both at low price and high price, this is one of the advantages of DCA. As long as you don't stop buying, the bitcoin that you will buy during the bear market will cover up these ones that you are buying now and a higher price above this. This is why no new investor shoukd be discouraged on the high price of bitcoin, and thinks that he can no longer buy and make profit. From the historical price of bitcoin, it has been observed that as time passes on bitcoin price increases which make it a good reason for new investors to use DCA method mostly. Don't focus on the price but have a target and focus on your target because it is certain that you will be profitable in your bitcoin investment, if you hodli for more than 4-6yrs.

I always tell new investors to invest immediately they have the money because it is better you start early to grow your bitcoin investment portfolio than waiting, because you think that the price is on the high side. There is inflation everywhere, and if you are to buy, a bag of wheat for $400, and due to inflation, the price increased to $500, and you can afford to buy it, and on the other hand, you were told that the price of wheat will go below $400 in six months time, will you say that you will wait till six months time to buy at a lower price because it will be cheap then, when you know that wheat is what you want now. Same with bitcoin if you want to buy bitcoin now and you have the money, it is better to buy it than waiting, because you are investing for your future and everyone needs an investment to live a better life in the future after we must have retired. Taking action is the best way to be successful, and not waiting, because you don't know what will happen tomorrow.
