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.

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.

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.

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.

Big game really for both teams as Chelsea will be looking not to drop points, an Manchester city will be aiming at getting a point. Formerly i would have been scared for the Chelsea side if they didn't have a good coach, but with Tuchel who is a tactical genius, I'm confident Chelsea will  put up a good performance against Pep's side.  Both teams to score definitely, but i predict Chelsea with a 2-1 win today against Manchester city.

As for the Manchester United and Aston villa game, many eyes are going to be watching and observing the tactics of Ole the coach against Aston villa and especially if he is going to start play with Fred who has been poor this season in performance. If Manchester United losses or draw this game, he definitely needs to leave the team.

Nor be say i dey carry the matter play lol, but make person see laugh to laugh small for naija. The matter na say anyhow this matter wan go, na so e go be. Whether the thing go dey beneficial or not to us, i feel say with the kind money Nigeria dun already borrow from china and with the one dem still dey plan to borrow, anything wey China government want, na so e go be for this country. Our government dey sell their right with the plenty borrow borrow.

Inflation is really kicking in, the cost of things are getting really high in the market and its not even december yet, its effects are evident on the price of food stuffs, transportation, electricity bills, gas bills and others. How are you handling it and how has it affected your savings/your percentage for investing (if you have one)?

Have you had to cut down on your expenses so as to maintain the percentage of your income you allocate to savings & investing?, Or you have adjusted the percentage for savings and investing so as to accommodate and maintain your standard of living?

Up until today, I've only heard about the "whales" and "sharks" in bitcoin, i never knew that there were other ranks named after aquatic animals in bitcoin for every category of hodler.

I'm a shrimp in this big sea , which category do you fall into?

I completely agree with you, a purpose of this forum is allow each user express themselves freely and share perspectives based on different exposures, thinking and mindsets on majorly bitcoin related topics and then other topics. If a user like me find your post or comment beneficial to me in some way i may decide to give you a merit.

So IMHO there is no fixed way to earn merit other than to be of benefit in your contribution to someone through original and well composed post and comments in the forum.

In this context, you mean independence from the government i suppose, but on a broader spectrum, to make your topic in-depth, financial independence according to Forbes,

Having grasped a broader understanding of the words "financial independence" and as bitcoin enthusiast, we can say that proper investment in bitcoin over time and with good discipline for HODLing over time, one can achieve financial independence when the price of bitcoin hits the moon.

Originally when i saw this headline, i was very excited as to maybe they had at one point identified and unravelled the true identity of Satoshi and the statue was really Nakamoto. But not quite, this statue is a perfect symbolism of anonymity and a proof that Satoshi is a living legend and that his or their efforts to stay anonymous is working.

There's really no need to stress much about these kind of news about Nigeria, our country is not mature enough to handle something as the "E-naira". Some people in the rural areas and some urban areas are still struggling to come to terms with the regular USSD mobile code, talk less of the "E-naira" which will definitely be operational through an application. Regular Banking network and systems are not even 100% yet, somedays the whole banking system is very disappointing.

I hope they have plans on how to make this E-naira sustainable, because i don't think it will survive.

I have read through a lot of comments on this topic and i can say from observation that only few have have been original, sincere in their answers, while a greater part are being hypocritical and cliché in their responses.

Very correct that this forum is a school of some sort as many have mentioned, but personally, are you really learning from people's topics and responses? Do you really take the time to read through posts and replies before Sharing your views?? Or you are just accumulating post counts deceiving yourself that you are in a school?

It's Benzema's performance for me this season, he has been very clinical in front of goal having 8 goals already and also has been a great assist for his other team mates. This Real Madrid squad is definitely leaving up to the standard of the teams name and glory,  already having 21 goals in just 6 matches, with a performance by like this, and if they can keep it up, they can win this season.

Manchester has already cutting your slip with the very poor & unimpressive performance from Martial who seems to have lost all confidence on the ball. As for Sancho, i don't know if he is scared or something, or maybe he hasn't settled yet into the team, but whichever it is, he has to snap out of it quickly.

When most persons speak of gambling and its addiction, there's usually a bias because most of the people have males at the back of their mind as the option whenever gambling addiction is mentioned. Feminism and the change in age has shown us now that there are women now involved in most activities that were formerly male oriented, one of which is gambling, and i must say i'm not surprised.

Although the ratio of men to women found in betting shops before placing bets used to be like 20:2 (sometimes the women are staffs) maybe because of the awkwardness and stereotype against a woman who walks in to place her bet and gamble, online gambling has changed and eradicated all that, women who originally like to gamble but were keeping that part of them under check because of the stereotype of walking into a betting or gambling place, can now do gamble or bet online at the comfort of their homes without criticism, unknown to anyone because of online gambling. It's a reason IMHO why more women are getting addicted to gambling in the UK and other places.

As much as we may suspect that these protest in El Salvador because of the bitcoin adoption are politically motivated, it is also fair to view from another perspective and say that the protests are also a result of low orientation about the advantages of bitcoin and why their government suddenly decided to give it a go, to the masses.

 If there is or was a proper circulation of information and sensitisation from the government to all age grades in the country, many will see no reason to protest, because they will understand the benefits this adoption has for the country, if they truly love their country.

If you check properly, you will see that most of the young folks making money via the crypto currency space are not doing it mostly through crypto gambling.

For any thing that involves staking on the chance, because of it's very addictive nature, i believe you should as much as possible help kids make the right decisions until you are certain they can do it on their own and that is restricting them from all forms of gambling till they come of age.

There are other profitable aspects of the crypto space that you can show to kids instead of crypto gambling i believe.

A discussion to express your views and perspectives on the future economic fear between two class of people in the society, the rich and the poor.

-I have often heard that there's an even greater fear with getting money, who do you think has more fear about the future?

(A) The Rich man who has tasted the good things of life and enjoying the best, now he has to face the fear of the possibility of suddenly loosing all he possesses and becoming poor? Or

(B) The poor man who has not enjoyed anything in life yet, just surviving and facing the fear of an unknown future, thinking if he is ever going to be in a better position or the suffering is going to continue?
