Arsenal team has been performing impressively well right from there last season they were almost unbeatable .
I would rather Arsenal before the last ten games of last season where in amazing form. They were solid from the back and front, but further than that they have just been good. And this season big game hasn't been the one for Arsenal to win and Lens embarrassed them in the UEFA champions league. In as much as the Gunners defeated Manchester city I would say it was a city filled with injuries and the midfield of city were inexperienced I would have expected Arsenal to dominate the game.

I met a friend who used about $1 to play gamble to win about $2500 in a game of different matches, all the early games went well but the last game cut which made him loose the game.  This lose made him to be sick for 3 days, the reason for his reaction was not because of the money he used to bet but he felt so bad because he has already put all his hope on the money he would have won.

People needs not to put all their hope in games they are not sure of winning, because relying on it can be very dangerous to the mental health. Play gamble and remove your mind from the money that will be gained till it is achieved.
It's difficult but this is how you face life. You can put all your hopes also on your everyday investment and just when you think it's clicked in you get a rude awakening, it's all about building a strong mentality. Nothing is assured until it's come, and that's how Gambling and general life it. You friend may not be good in gambling but also in his general life if he keeps up with a weak mentality then he may not survive. Let him also learn to prioritise seeing gambling as a probability and not assurance.
343  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / The president certificate and how it affects us crypto-currency enthusiast on: October 13, 2023, 03:47:07 PM
Right now well all get one president it not important if you like it or not the main thing be say our president be Bola Ahmed Tinubu, so I would want us to reason as a country and not as divided party supporters, by now everyone suppose don hear about the news on the president forging his certificate this news has already brought in native attention to the country and this is to add to the already existing stigmatization caused be the internet fraudster

In England some Nigerian nurse who falsely acquired their certificate has been detected although I like the development but those who are legit are now having a had time due to stigmatization. And I don't think we in the crypto-currency space are safe. A friend of mine who is a Crypto-currency freelancer and had an existing job told me about his boss all of a sudden requiring him to prove his qualifications and all this is happening because of the negativity brought by this news.

So guys what's the best way to approach this situation if you were caught up in the web as a result of the president forging certificate saga. And do you think it's true or false regardless, I think I would advice everyone to always be sincere and avoid false acquired qualifications.

It is a personal responsibility to keep your bitcoins safe by yourself, not under the trust of someone, or an exchange. Self custody is risky but it is not something any bitcoin investor will not be able to do if they pay close attention to security tips and updates as they change and are shared on this forum. It is easy to forget the importance and let your guard down at some point when you are hodling, but it is always important to remind yourself that letting your guard down even for one moment can lead to loss and severe regrets.

Guard your bitcoins with the consciousness that loss to criminals is not impossible.
With the cases of exchange hacks and scams and even some where the exchange extort or embezzle the funds of their customers for their own greedy activities I think it's best to always save your crypto-currency funds yourself.
But it's not all about saving your funds yourself because if done wrongly you have still meet say faith like those who got caught up in exchange financial issues.

Have you own wallet, use a very secured password, additional security with 2FA but still this may not be enough to protect you, using a cold storage wallet helps limit you to the dangers from be online. It's more secured and hardly can be assessed by hackers if you are secure with your devices.

I think it's not actually too tasking to be good in sport betting, poker game, dice, and other gambling options, it's a game of luck but you also need to have some experience or better still try to understand how the game work.
Thinking gambling is a game of luck might be setting yourself up for failure, gambling just like any game has rules and how the game goes, doing your best to out play your odds gives you a better advantage in tilting the luck to your favor. The rule is to learn the game and play responsibly.

Well it's obvious that the absence of two players Kelvin Debruyne and Rodi has contributed to their poor performance and this should let Pep Guardiola to know that the team still needs strengthening,
Yes mate I think Manchester city are suffering from extreme injury problems and the match against arsenal exposed how even them can fall without the right players, they are missing Kevin and some players are playing the wrong roles or aren't playing in their natural position.
One of the biggest mistakes they made was to sell some very important players and they didn't improve their midfield

Well investment is certainly your choice and you can definitely use it as you like. But using myself as a subject here I would not invest in Bitcoin to buy a bicycle this are things you can get by just saving in Fiat. Crypto-currency is very volatile and unpredictable and you may not achieve your goal in time.

Although I don't believe in investing in crypto-currency like Bitcoin to just change it back to Fiat, the future of finance cannot be at your finger tips only for you to let it go.
348  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you ever feel tired of waiting? on: October 11, 2023, 08:45:30 PM
To be honest, I've had this question for quite a while. I keep seeing people claiming to just hold and hold; it'll take one, two, three, or whatever years for the next bull market. However, I'm often wondering: do you ever feel tired of waiting for Bitcoin to thrive?
This is dilemma is mostly faced by those who sees Bitcoin as an investment. Regardless if you are a Long term or short term holders if your intentions are to hold Bitcoin for the purpose of selling of you would face this situation.
I hardly think about Bitcoin in this way, I have never thought that there would be a time I would sell off my Bitcoin in exchange for Fiat because the price of Bitcoin has gone up, that would be crazy. The fact that Bitcoin can reach that amount you set as your goal shows Bitcoin is here to stay why then miss the opportunity to be part of it?
349  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How to define a true Nigerian on: October 11, 2023, 07:39:00 PM
I am proudly a Nigerian too but I believe in judging people based on their actions rather than where they come from. Nigeria is the most populated black nation in the world and there are many Nigerians that has done very well globally and those that hasn't really brought a good name to the country.

The fact that people are judge or have a stereotype on where they come from or their religion has lead to so much negative effects, some part of the world fills Nigerians are scammers because of some people from Nigeria has giving that impression but that's not the case. Let's normalize not giving tags to what to expect from people based on their nation but let's actually judge individuals based on their own actions .
350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 11, 2023, 06:17:37 PM

I believe that they are doing it because they finally got rid of that one man mindset. I kept saying that Kane is a great player but he was hurting the team and nobody listened, finally they sold him and made some money from him, now they do not have to focus on him all that much. They kept thinking that he was the one and they kept trying to do as good as possible with him and just passed to him every chance they got.

Now that he is gone, they do not have to focus on one player, and that means defense do not have to focus on one player neither, and that makes other teams have trouble. If your entire job is to defend one guy, you would be able to do that, but if your job is to defend whole team, that's harder.
I have to o disagree with you mate, Kane wasn't hurting the team, he was a great player definitely and was working so hard for the team, it's sad that Tottenham Hotspur wasn't able to win any major trophies during the time he was there but this had nothing to do with one player it was everyone and including the coaches to the executives of the team.

I think Tottenham has just started greatly but I would not say that they would start to win trophies now because Kane has left, it may take a while before they win any major trophies and if the male big four that won't be something out of the ordinary because they were doing that even when Kane was there.

I'm happy Bitcoin shows its reliability once again and has defeated the spammers and those without good intentions. I also share to let beginners know how to calm down if a situation like this presents itself again. Bitcoin will always win.
Bitcoin was never in any battle even then, so I don't see what the win is all about, anyone that doesn't believe in Bitcoin because of the fee then was raised then they should not be in Bitcoin in the first place. I think newbies should be more aware about how the transactions works I don't this some people actually don't want to pay those fees but they aren't aware that the higher the fee the quicker the transactions would be.
352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 09, 2023, 05:01:22 PM
I'd say Chelsea and Manchester United won't be in the top four of the points table this season. Liverpool are now fourth in the table. Liverpool's points are 17. On the other hand, Manchester United's points are now 12 and Chelsea's points are now only 11. Reducing this 5/6 point gap is much more difficult, as the teams at the top of the table have all performed very strongly and regularly. To everyone's surprise, the Tottenham team is now at the top of the points table. United and Chelsea coaches should only try to stabilize their team's performance this season. They have no need to go to the top of the table. They need to prepare their squad from now to perform well next season. And they should plan for the long term.
At this stage I would say it is to early to predict the top four, but logically you have a point. Right now it's almost certain that the top three would be Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Manchester city although this is just the team that should be in the top three but not certain how they would be arranged now it's left for the last team I would have to place Chelsea in that position, they have the players to actually be there if they can continue in the form they have now definitely they should make it into the top four.
353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 09, 2023, 03:10:59 PM
I'm surprised to see the league table, Tottenham is currently in the top position even though Kane left the team.
Yes harry Kane is an important part of the team but what's a team if they can't move on after a player has left, I don't think a club would be considered big if they can't move on to success after losing a big player, even when Harry Kane was in the team Son has been doing well too he had always been able to score fantastic and important goals for Tottenham and the Harry kane's exit only made him have more confidence to step up his game. In general the new Coach has done a lot for the team and I hope they keep the energy through out the season.

My main point is the new conflict was accelerated because the world is bored tired disinterested with Ukraine vs Russia

So we now have Israel vs Palestine

And likely we will next have China vs Taiwan . Just a future guess
Its now becoming like a big UFC or boxing match and it's sad the world is watching on while human both young and old guilty or innocent are getting slaughtered. Not just that there has been some reports that some ammunition used are those which were donated to Ukraine if this is true then we would be seeing more wars like this were other nations would be fueling the whole issue with their support.

I.E 10,000 cash in a home could be burnt. But my digital wealth is safe.

So forget

Well I would say in this context yes it's best to hold digital asset than keep cash that can be destroyed but don't forget that there is digital banking too so really that's covered but rather I would say that war can affect a nation's economy easily and this can lead to their currency losing value but Bitcoin is decentralized so the value won't be effected by the situation of the nation's economy due to the war. In all let love lead the world.

Saka on the bench now the game would be more difficult for Arsenal and easier for Manchester city in the defense. I think we would have a great game but j would have love to see jack grealish start today he has the pace and the skill to cause Manchester city serious problem, in my opinion the line up makes the game even and very hard to predict but all that can change but my prediction is a game filled with goals but would end a draw.
357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 07, 2023, 07:20:37 PM

Don Carlo always had great picks on players and he trusted Bellingham since his first game for Real so that says a lot about Ancelotti as a person.
I think you are hyping Ancelotti here because I don't think that there is any gaffer in their right Senses that won't have faith in Jude Bellingham and not start him in any game. He isn't coming into Real Madrid as am academy player he has already proved his amazing football at Dortmund and even in England and he was really sorted after and real Madrid came out tops.

To me he has become very important to the real Madrid squad and I would compare him to zidane he is an all round player and he would be the one to get the decisive winners for real Madrid in big matches.
358  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How To Accumulate Bitcoin More Effectively In Any Market Zone on: October 07, 2023, 06:14:47 PM
First to accumulating Bitcoin you have to look at the benefits and the rewards, it's not profitable to accumulate Bitcoin and then lose it to scammers or hackers so you ought to protect your funds no matter the amount of Bitcoin you can afford.

Firstly you can buy Bitcoin from centralized and decentralized exchange but personally I choose to buy from decentralized exchange because it protects my anonymity and other benefits.
But below is a list if decentralized exchange and centralized exchanges
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2906237.msg29885570#msg29885570

Also never leave your funds in an exchange that's why you need to have a personal wallet, I use cold storage wallet to save my Bitcoin because it's offline and more secured.

You can use this for educational tool about cool wallet setup.
https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.html

Security is very important, and how much or how to accumulate should not be complicated, always use yourself as the main subject you know what you can sustain a living with and what you can save up, so work with your income and as time goes you should grow.
359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I want to fulfill my mother's dream of building a house with Bitcoin. on: October 07, 2023, 05:39:23 PM
Firstly teaching and education are almost the same thing and you put then together wrongly in your post. Well welcome to the forum and in as much as everyone is entitled to their dreams and the process of how they Are going to achieve that dreams I would say is your sole dream and aspiration only to get a house? You speak off saving for four years and then use it to get. House then what next? The house is not an investment that would be bringing you income. May dream of something more that would guarantee you and your family financial security.

Also trading is unpredictable, the fact that you want to enter Bitcoin trading does not mean you would be successful in it, if not everyone would be trading. You don't have the luxury to enough capital in my opinion, I would suggest you start with investing in Bitcoin and then grow your portfolio with that. This are just my thoughts you have the final say .

Today has to be the best Manchester united match I have watched in a long while and not because they played well but because of the way the game ended, Manchester united really had to dig deep to get this result after going a goal down in the first and that lasted the whole 90 minutes till some good player from Mc tommeny.


Regardless of the result I still think Manchester united has so much to do. They played with no strategy and I would hardly see how a goal would have come out for them, this is not the type of football you would want to see from a top team with big aspirations for the season. I believe it's time Manchester united move away from Ten Hag.
