2 more days MU will vs Atalanta in UCL hopefully they perform as well as against Tottenham earlier and secure their position in UCL
This game is actually very important to Manchester United, they have to start winning games in succession, thus having won against Spurs in the weekend, they'll want to get another win on top of that by defeating Atalanta and strengthening their position to qualify from their UCL group. United played very well against Spurs and if they continue in that way, then they can revive their season and maybe OGS could still retain his job. Having said that, United are known to be erratic, thus I'd not be surprised if they do not build on their victory in the weekend and fail to win their next couple of games, it's up to the players to show character at this point and justify the amount they are being paid.

Well, I would say that the collapse was in the air already when Messi spent his last year in Barcelona as he was forced to stay. The team wasn't the same already at that point. No more Neymar and Suarez, Griezmann couldn't get back in shape. Now Barcelona is going to suffer a lot. All those hardcore fans and their team is no more able to really compete with the top.
Barcelona are struggling to compete, and it's only normal if you look at the players they currently have in their team, watching Barcelona's games these days and I find it difficult to identify some of the players I see in the team, it's that bad, it's not just the fault of the manager, they need to buy new players, but they seem to be in a financial crisis, thus I don't know where the money they'll spend on players is going to come from. I may not like Barcelona so much, but it's sad to see a club of their status in their present condition, this is a club that is renowned for competing, but at the moment, they are struggling to compete with even the lower teams in the league, I actually hope Barca find their feet again sooner than later.

The best advice I would give to beginners is to do the necessary research before you invest in anything.
I second that, I mean cause there is absolutely no way projects will stop using crypto influencers to promote their coins, what we must even understand is that these influencers most times do not even know if the project is a good or bad one, or if it is on the right track to success, but it's all about them making their money, which is totally understandable/fine, thus it's up to you the investor whose money is going into it, to do your own research and draw your own conclusions on the project, I for one wouldn't blame any influencer if he/she promote a project and it goes south, in the network there should be no trust, and as such if you trust an influencer and you lose in the end, then it's on you.

There is a process before you can do that, however, you can start by buying bitcoin with around the smallest amount that you can test to see how it feels like owning it but you won't feel the fluctuations since it's just a small amount.
I second this, and to be honest, people need to come to the understanding that you can actually start small in the network, having the mindset that you must outrightly buy one Bitcoin before you can be said to be a Bitcoin investor is a misconception that really needs to be corrected. Mind you that you should only invest what you can afford to lose, so the best thing to do is to find a strategy of buying at intervals, and before you know it, you would actually own a stash that you'll be surprised how you accumulated all that. As far as price corrections are concerned, newcomers to the network must understand that it is a part of the network that is constant, you must learn to ignore it most times and make sure it doesn't send you panicking/selling.

You know how dangerous they are yet you still made a lot of money from it.
It is risky cause these sort of coins are more or less pump and dump coins, and the thing with them is that you should only hodl them for the short term, I absolutely do not doubt what OP is saying, as quite a lot of people have made huge sums of money from "lottery" coins such as this, but many more people have lost all their investments to it, if you buy it at the wrong time, especially when others have started dumping it, then you'd be left with a useless coin that's prolly never going to rise again. If you're a short term investor then these sort of projects aren't actually a bad idea, so long as you know how to handle them (when to buy and sell).

This victory did Manchester United more harm than good, because Ole solskjaer we remain as their coach,the victory does not mean he is a good coach after all,na Manchester United we give him more time to keep delaying there progress of going to the top where they belong,am happy that levy we now know that Nuno is an average coach
Football lovers need to understand that sacking OGS doesn't mean that things will automatically start moving well for the team, mind you that there have been a lot of coaches in the United dugout since Fergie left, but no one has brought them the success they seek to reclaim, maybe that's even the reason why the United board is giving Solksjaer a bit more time, cause honestly if he gets sacked and another manager takes his place, except the players themselves improve, the new manager will likewise struggle.

This is a serious step forward towards mass adoption and recognition of crypto. People on the forum complain about why people don't get into crypto, but without educating, talking about it, and even mentoring new adopters, things will just not move anywhere. People might not like this, but those 4 points are really important for the future of crypto.
You have a point there, but tbh, talking to non-bitcoin people about Bitcoin can be actually very strenuous, there are quite a lot of erroneous ideas about Bitcoin all over the news, internet and media, thus many of this ideologies have been taken in by people hook, line and sinker, as such it becomes almost impossible to educate them on what Bitcoin actually is and how to safely use it, that's the reason why most times I actually don't blame people who try not to talk too much to people about Bitcoin. But having said that, it's always great to educate people about the network if you do have the time and zeal to do so, cause quite a lot of us came into the network cause someone took out time to explain Its benefits to us, thus repaying the favor to someone else isn't a bad idea at all.

I was surprised by the defeat of Manchester City vs Crystall Palace today because I think City are quite consistent in winning match while Crystall Palace are not. I didn't watch the second half for that match and don't know how City should lose, but it's true that Manchester City struggled to score today.
The moment Aymeric Laporte got red carded in the dying minutes of the first half, I knew it was going to be a long day for City, losing one nil and being one man down against a crystal palace side that is ready to sit back and park the bus for 'days', city dropped three very crucial points and I also think they were very sloppy today and weren't sharp to say the least, I'm sure Pep would have expressed his displeasure with the performance, and they have to improve sooner than later as the fixtures are lining up thick and fast. Having said that, is it just me or does anyone else scratch their head and wonder why City spent so much money to sign Jack Grealish, he really looks so ordinary, nothing more than a 40-45 million pound player.

Manchester United will not sell Paul Pogba in January and are fully prepared for the 28-year-old France midfielder to leave at the end of the season for free when his contract expires. Do they perhaps hope that Pogba will change his mind and still stay at the club next season, much like PSG hopes with Messi?
Pogba's situation at Manchester United is a very confusing one to be honest, no one actually knows what both parties wants, but in my opinion, I don't think Pogba has a future in Manchester United, he has never clicked at old Trafford, neither has he been anywhere close to his best, but why he is still in the team is what I can't really understand, United should just sell Pogba and get over with it, he'll not perform at the level they want or wish him to, let him move to another team, that could be the revival he needs.
Newcastle are interested in signing Manchester United's Jesse Lingard. The 29-year-old England midfielder has been linked with a move to St James' Park in January. Newcastle don’t seem to be wasting time and are seriously preparing to continue this season  Cheesy
It could be a good move for Lingard, I say it's good cause he'll get to play more regularly and he'll earn a good amount of money every week, for now he is just a makeshift player at Old Trafford, so it's definitely a good idea if he considers this move, he could start playing as good as he did when he went on loan to Westham last season.
3350  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum or Solana? on: October 30, 2021, 07:09:04 PM
Tbh I don't think there is even a competition between which is the better network amongst the two, Solana may currently be considered as a competitor to the ethereum network, but times without number there have been one new competitor or the other and in the end they just fall miles behind ethereum. The Ethereum network has a great ecosystem that continues to develop at a very fast pace, just like Bitcoin it looks more like the only altcoin that can be said to be a good long term investment plan, I'm afraid if Solana is to come close to eth, it'll take them quite a long time to do so.
3351  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Gearing up for alt season on: October 30, 2021, 06:48:59 PM
Altcoin season is coming, the type we got in 2017 4th quarter to 2018 1st quarter so kindly chill me your holdings, what do you think will be the next 10x coins to hold right now? Low market cap or mid market cap coins?
The thing is you can't be so sure of your speculation/prediction, altcoins could pump in the coming weeks and it's also very possible that it wouldn't, it's up to the investor to do their own research and draw their conclusions if this is actually a good time to hodl altcoins. Having said that, whether low or mid market cap altcoins, I consider them to be short term investments, and you should consider holding them only for the short term, and take ROI whenever you get them, personally ethereum is the only altcoin that is actually sustainable for the long period.
3352  Economy / Economics / Re: Financial Stability - Get yourself non ending economic circle. on: October 30, 2021, 01:33:57 PM
The thing is, prolly everyone wants to have diverse sources of income, but it's more of a case of easier said than done, more often than not to have an extra source of income requires capital and it is that capital that most people do not have as they are struggling to cope with the little they earn from their sole source of income.
With the digital era, there are just so many ways to earn the money. If spoken about the crypto space then . .
1) Crypto staking
2) Mining Farm (Very profitable if done properly)
3) Crypto Trading
4) Crypto Investment by HODL (More or less staking without fixed APY%)
5) Work at Forum
All of the above is as well not a guarantee to earn an extra source of income, there are risks involved in them and people should also be aware that in as much as they may try them to make ROI, they could as well accrue losses. Imo, most times the best way to earn extra income is if you have a skill and you're willing to render a service and get paid afterwards.
3353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China Ban and the mining exodus on: October 30, 2021, 01:07:17 PM
This isn't unusual at all, China prolly thought their ban would affect Bitcoin for so long, but we already knew the effects of that ban would only last for the short period before other countries start to capitalize and use it for their own advantage just like Kazakhstan is currently doing, with miners finding it comfortable to continue their operation there. I actually don't think there is any sort of regulation or ban by any government that can bring/keep Bitcoin down for too long, if one country thinks Bitcoin mining is harmful and doesn't want it, then another will accept it, it is what it is, business will definitely continue.
3354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russia doesn't wants its citizens earning with cryptos on: October 30, 2021, 11:43:59 AM
According to him, Russia doesn't want its citizens to earn money through cryptocurrency so, regulation will mainly stay the same despite the increase of crypto interest in the country
Tbh, it's basically the same thing with many countries today, though some will prolly be more hostile than others, but the thing still remains that they do not like decentralized networks/cryptos, they do not want their citizens to have freedom and control of their funds, neither do they want them to be their own bank, thus that's were such news like this stems from. Having said that, I expect government regulations to continue as far as dex crypto is concerned, but it wouldn't really affect Bitcoin in the long period, all the regulations is just in a bid to dissuade people from using the network and maybe use their CBDC, but quite a lot of people already know the advantages of the Bitcoin network and if the government puts a stumbling block, then they'll effortlessly use P2p service to buy Bitcoin, the government can just contain/control it.
3355  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Large SALES Exchange or OTC how do you cashout 500-1million+? on: October 30, 2021, 09:47:31 AM
i have no issues using exchanges, or OTC im not sure which one is better the problem is selling the coins and getting a huge wire to your bank is a little scarey isnt it?
It could be a little scary considering the large amount involved, but personally I think if you're 'clean' and prolly have nothing to hide about how such amount was amassed then just go about it the normal way and when you're asked questions on it by your bank, you would definitely have no problems answering them, just like others have advised, seek some legal advice and ask questions on the repercussions and worst case scenario of the action you're about to take, so you prepare for it.
3356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 28, 2021, 04:51:51 PM
The fact remains that he has to be fired anyway, and he will be. The players stopped understanding him, or don't understand him anymore. In a recent match, he was showing the players something (maybe a tactic, a place on the field, or an action to be done), and Ronaldo just mocked him, waving his arms in different directions, making it clear that he doesn't understand him. From this we can conclude that the players are uncomfortable training with him.
I don't know if Ronaldo's gesture with his hands was actually directed at Solksjaer's coaching methods or if it was just basically out of frustration, and again, in as much as every United fan out there prolly wants OGS gone by now, it's still up to the board to make the final decision, and they are yet to do that. Personally, I think United's players are performing way too poor and they must improve irrespective of who the manager is. Just like their game against Liverpool, their defenders were absolutely disastrous, that's not just the fault of the manager, they have to improve and start playing well.
3357  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What’s the fastest way to grow wealth in our present world of digital currency? on: October 28, 2021, 04:06:40 PM
OP you must understand that there is no fast way to make money, even with digital currencies, you may think you can make money quickly, but that would cause you to make mistakes such as not doing a proper research before investing, investing more than you can afford to lose, choosing the wrong coins etc. Having said that, digital currencies are far more than making one rich, you must invest in a coin you believe in, I for one believe in the Bitcoin network cause of the freedom and control it affords its investors and cause it also has an actual use case, thus you should actually select coins that you believe in and not only cause you believe it can make you rich pretty fast.
3358  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shiba Inu Sets Record, Faster Than Dogecoin on: October 28, 2021, 03:46:19 PM
Quite a lot of investors have been mentioning Shiba Inu in the last couple of months, thus I think it's the hype that has taken its price this high, but mind you that you should not expect it to stay that way for too long, and the right thing to do would be to take profits from it now that it is has pumped, cause sooner or later the price is bound to dump. I really do not understand the reason for the comparison with Dogecoin, but if I actually did have any of both coins I'll treat them the same way, as a pump and dump coin and I wouldn't fail to take ROI whenever I can cause they are basically short term projects.
3359  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 27, 2021, 08:47:37 PM
There are reports that Mauricio Pochettino is the favoured candidate to replace the Manchester United manage Ole Gunnar.
I don't think this reports are true, currently Pochettino seems comfortable at PSG with quite a lot of world class stars at his disposal and Manchester United will know that, thus there is no way they can make him their number one individual to replace Solskjaer. There are just too many speculations on who is going to replace Solskjaer if he gets fired, but we'll have to wait and see, for now, OGS is still in charge, but he wouldn't be for too long if his team do not start winning.
3360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage! on: October 27, 2021, 08:28:03 PM
Even on social media, there are many "Ole out" petitions.
Of course, Manchester United supporters have seen enough of OGS, and they want him fired, but the United board do not want to sack him yet; it's really a tough situation and I think the reason is that Manchester United have used quite a lot of managers in all the years since Alex Ferguson left, thus the board still feels maybe Ole deserves a little more time to see if he could turn things around and produce good results for the team.

Having said that, I feel everyone is just basically shifting all the blames to OGS, but in my opinion the players are likewise guilty, many of them are playing so poorly, and if they play like this under any manager, the results would definitely be the same.
