For me I will go with my other friend who said bitcoin can serve both purposes which depends on two major factors:
  • Your country
  • You as an individual

Your country:
In my opinion you can't use bitcoin as a currency in a country where it is not legalized or a country where bitcoin is banned.

what is your take on this

I agree with your friend that btc can be both. Even in countries where bitcoins are not yet accepted as legal tenders for transactions within, it doesn't stop the user from using it as a currency. You can still use it to purchase things from outside the country say from vendors who accept bitcoins and other cryptocurrency in other countries. But truth is most persons because of the prospective nature of bitcoin, are very reluctant using it as currency. They prefer to HODL BTC as an asset to yield them profit.

...also something that companies do all the time is that instead of raising their prices as they know people do not like this is that they lower the quality of the product itself or they give you less of it.

True, I noticed that the quality of products these days have been affected, and that all those nutritional information on the packaging of products, now more than ever are not 100% true, some are just written in adequate percentages for show, in reality these companies have reduced the quantity of these nutrients they use because they are being affected by inflation and have to meet up. To show that companies have really been affected to agree to your comment, i have also noticed not just a reduction in quality, but also in the quantity of products.

I think that Barcelona is falling apart after Messi left them
I agree with you, for a team like Barcelona to be loosing at group stages to a team like benfica is a proof. The Barcelona team was really built around messi for years, now that he is no longer in the team, it is highly expected for them to struggle. I think the coach is on his way out by the way, their performance today was extremely poor.

Messi's goal was worth the wait, a beauty and a way to silent the critics who were almost beginning to say his move to PSG was a flop. Him scoring for the team especially against a team with quality like Manchester city is important for both his confidence level, and for the morale of his team players knowing that one of the GOATs is back to his scoring ways. I like the fact that he is beginning to adapt to PSG's game play and play better with his teammates.

Exactly,I also vote Liverpool to win the league because they are in the pole position to do that,and also because they are angry about their position last season where they almost failed to qualify for champions league. I would have chose Mancity,but with their poor performances this season,loosing unnecessarily,I don't give it to them.Liverpool or Chelsea are the favourite for the tittle.

I completely agree, Liverpool or Chelsea look more likely to clinch the title this season. The Liverpool team is very balanced good and balanced with a seasoned coach, and an attack with Salah that won't stop scoring, and a super defence as well that can deliver against big teams. Chelsea also is a super contender as well with a very tactical coach, a good attack with Lukaku and a good defence that can also deliver. For Manchester United, they will only have a chance to win if either the coach Ole gets better or gets out. Their attack is formidable with CR7, but with the defence, there's no assurance that even if the attackers score ten goals, that the opposition team won't score back. For Manchester City, with a very good coach as well, i think them winning the league is hinged on the favourites Liverpool and Chelsea making mistakes and loosing plenty games.

Here are the results from the Premier League:
Arsenal 3-1 Tottenham Hotspur


I saw this on twitter, and was having a discussion with my friend about it, i found it funny because i thought the guy was just making a joke, but on a second thought, i had to ask myself, can arsenal still be considered as one of the big teams in the EPL?

Therefore, if my paltry crypto holdings suddenly spike I don't start thinking I'm a wise investor who's smarter than anyone else.  Conversely if they tank I don't call myself stupid for having the positions I have.  My advice: don't make trading/investing a personal thing; stay right-sized; and realize that the market does whatever it wants, and any gains or losses you make are due to chance.

I so much love this perspective. This is an orientation to give yourself, either you in luck with your crypto or out of luck one day. It's like fishing on a particular spot in the river, you hold your position, cast your hook and wait. You don't call yourself a genius because your hook caught some fish after a while, neither will you call yourself an idiot for not getting a catch that day, it's all a matter of luck.

Having this mindset can keep your emotions in check rather than choosing to call yourself a genius or an idiot. If you call yourself a genius, the name may even get into your head and make you make decisions with emotions, which we know is dangerous.

More casino's and other establishments will soon adopt this. I envisage a situation where it may not be publicly announced that everyone must have the vaccine, but you will not permitted to use or visit any public place until you present a vaccination card.

Some governments have set new rules of operations for some of these establishments which they must adhere to before they can fully operate. Wearing the face mask is one, that is very compulsory in public places, but be it a public space as a casino where it may be a discomfort wearing the face mask inside all the time, a vaccination card is an option to avoid putting people in danger.

The joy in trading is when the money which is been used to trade is owned by the trader.

If you call yourself a good trader, and it so happens that you have no money to trade, what i think of you is that you are

- Just a fresh out Demo trader that thinks he has mastered demo trading and he is super confident that with a few bucks, he can can start making money, so he just looks for any means possible to get the money to start trading, or

- A trader who is not good enough. It may be possible that you have lost all your money maybe to a bad trade or something, but that's not excuse enough, because a good trader understands risk management.

I understand that there may be some extreme cases where maybe a domestic crisis or emergency may push you to liquidate your accounts to raise cash, when bouncing back from such situations, an experienced and good trader knows that even considering to borrow to start trading is stupidity in disguise.

Arsenal's Next four fixtures.


 Arsenal is currently sitting at 10th place in the table with that win over Tottenham, our next fixture is with Brighton & hove albion who are currently 6th on the table and have been doing well this season. As an arsenal fan, i hope they drop points in their fixture today with Crystal Palace. I want Arsenal to be amongst the first 6 top teams on the league by the end of October, and Brighton dropping points today will facilitate that plan before our fixture with them in the 2nd of October.

With good morale and game play like with Tottenham, i think Arsenal can comfortably win the other teams they are to face in October, including Leicester.
3552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: September 26, 2021, 04:33:37 PM
Very excited that Arsenal is winning this game as it is already, i think its very important for the morale of the players. This game with Tottenham was very important for Arteta's job, and he has just secured it i think. The first 45 minutes is the best arsenal has played for me this season. It is just very unfortunate that many arsenal fans like myself either did not bet on the game at all, or bet on Tottenham to win.  Cry

We will probably not get an undisputed champion anytime soon due to the rematch clause in this fight, but I think Fury vs. Usyk is a much more interesting fight. Joshua would not have done well against Fury if he is not even able to take a punch from a cruiserweight.

IMHO, i think a Fury vs Usyk will end with Fury knocking out Usyk. Fury just needs to win against Wilder and we can all get to witness the fight. Everyone including myself was hoping to see AJ and Fury fight, is there any possibility of this still happening later on? if it ever happens and AJ fights with same morale and laxity that he fought with today, i don't think he will stand any chance.
3556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] JOSHUA vs USYK on: September 25, 2021, 09:29:36 PM
AJ has to be quicker on his feet to win this fight, Usyk is looking very swift and light on his feet, his footwork is superb. Is AJ too slow, or is he is probably waiting for Usyk to tire out, because it might be difficult to sustain this tempo he has started with. If he really can, and AJ doesn't step up, he will definitely win this.

PSG is winning the game but their performance for me is not satisfactory  at all, Neymar and Mbappe have been awful in front of goal so far especially Neymar who seems to be totally out of form. If they meet Manchester city with in this current form they are in, Pep will have them for breakfast. Ander Herrera has been amazing in the midfield with all the passes he has made. Kudos to Draxler for securing the lead.

Liverpool ended as a draw but they are still taking the top spot despite only getting 1 point this round

Very poor defending, I wasn't expecting Liverpool to drop points, i was expecting them to increase their lead on the table, but as football goes, the new comers Brentford are really performing hard against the big teams. When they won arsenal their first game, we all were quick to attack arsenal for performing poorly, but now we see that it is the case of Brentford playing really well against big teams as they are usually underestimated. I'm sure with their performance against Liverpool today, other big teams like Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham etc will not underestimate them again.
3559  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: September 25, 2021, 01:59:33 PM
I don't who exactly to blame for the home defeat to Manchester United, i don't know if i should put all the blame on Ole for yet again another show that he cannot handle the Manchester United team or Bruno Fernandez for sending that penalty to the sky. I was really expecting a win.

As for Chelsea, i will say Tuchel's plan to build a team no one wants to play, is not there yet. I still see Chelsea as a strong contender for this season's league title regardless of this home defeat.

Manchester United fans were waiting to laugh at Chelsea, but got handed their own defeat lol.
3560  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] JOSHUA vs USYK on: September 25, 2021, 11:34:55 AM
Rooting on AJ to win this fight, although i have to be sincere it's not going to be so easy for him because Usyk is a very good fighter as well and has gained more pounds recently.

A concern for me is AJ's recent comment making rounds on social media about blacks patronising only black owned businesses. The comment has been deemed racist by many whites and he has lost their love per say. I hope the chants and cheers from the spectators tonight in the stadium does not reflect anger and hate towards him, so his morale will not be affected in the fight.
