Ronaldo is consolation and the factor that is covering Ole's poor tactics for Manchester United. West ham has played really well in the first half, and they are likely to score in the second because the defence on the Manchester United side is not as efficient as the attack with CR7. If they can score a goal before Ronaldo or any other attacker scores for Manchester United and then try to defend really well, they can win this.

I recently made a post on "how many consecutive losses can you handle in trading, before you accept that your strategy is no longer working?",

Some said two, others three, some four etc. In your situation from OP, it seems you have been on a very long loosing streak, in your heart, you don't need a prophet to tell you  you need to take a break from trading and re-examine your strategy.

While re-examining your strategy, try to single out the reason/reasons why your strategy started failing, and then start making changes from there. Don't be in a hurry to start trading again, take your time to absorb and observe your new strategy without entering a trade, the market is going no where. If you hurry back, you hurry back to loosing.

Although the game ended in favour of arsenal, our second win for the season, I'm still not convinced and satisfied with arsenal's play yet. Our midfield still doesn't look it yet, with bigger and more experience teams, i don't believe we still stand a chance. Maybe a winning streak will get players morale up and maybe we can get in top four, i know it will be difficult this season but you can never predict the premier League.

It's a good thing that you have quit according to you, i hope it is able to stay that way without relapsing and you are able to replace the thrill or satisfaction that you derived from gambling with another activity.

Gambling at 14 is really dangerous, i wonder how you had the finance to fund your gambling. It's really a good thing that you have quit, if not you were already on the journey to financial penury and hardship in life  starting at such an early age.

I totally agree with this statement. I usually judge a post as quality based on the level of information/lesson or experience it conveys and how it is conveyed as well. I also like posts and replies that introduces another fresh angle/perspective to a discussion.

This is called a forum, and one of the main aims of any forum is a platform for the exchange of ideas, and perspectives. Any post that engages these aim of a forum is a quality post.

A question that I would like to ask is "Are all quality posts meritable?".

Big welcome to this forum, since you already mentioned that you are an Investor, you will find the forum to be a meaningful contribution to you and your existing knowledge of cryptocurrency and other related topics.

It's a good thing that you have read and properly understood the rules according to you, make conscious efforts not to forget them throughout your time here. Best advice, always try to read them often so they become beacon guiding your activities on the forum.

I wish you all the best, and please try expressing yourself to the fullest, we look forward to your contribution to this forum.

Newbies It will be very heart breaking and discouraging to build an account into a good rank and having joined in a good campaign get banned for plagiarism that you commited at the early stages of your account. That's why as much as possible you must try to contribute only original contents and be sure to make proper reference when you are quoting someone. Make comments and create reasonable topics in boards that you are comfortable with. You don't have to make the drive to impress make you plagiarize someone's work, take it easy, do your research, be free and express yourself.

There's a high rate of poverty & economic hardship in Africa, the young, conscious and digital minded have singled out multiple opportunities in the crypto market and are taking full advantage of it.

With the high rate of volatility in the crypto market, most persons have been able to take advantage and improve their standard of living from the good profits they have made from their crypto experience.

For me too, this basically is the reason, its the digital age and the entire concept behind cryptocurrency (digital money) appeals to this digital age and young people who have been empowered by the internet.

Also formerly when we hear of investments, it always pointed towards buying stocks and shares from companies, real estate, gold and all that, they are all nice, but sometimes require a very huge capital to start, plus the wait period is also an issue to get good ROI on investment. Right now with cryptocurrency which is easy to understand by young investors, theres an opportunity for investment with very promising ROI, so a lot of young investors will definitely prefer it.

I'll go with option B, because in playing with people, i have a certain level of assurance in my heart that the game is a fair game where the luckiest and most skillful amongst the contestants wins. Also knowing that an individual like me who maybe needs the earnings from the gamble more than i do has won it, rather than the house that has won alot of people's money will console me.

Thoughts are powerful, and they are often times transformed into reality. If you have started having thoughts that your gambling will get you in trouble because you are underaged, be very sure that soon enough it will, and you better try to quit either by self or group help.

Another good reason to stop is, habits that you get/develop at a very young age sometimes become lifelong problems. You should do your best to quit or put under check before this becomes a lifelong problem for you.

Widespread acceptance of cryptocurrency as a means of transaction is one of the major goals that Satoshi had in mind when he was creating the very first cryptocurrency, which is bitcoin. If i do not believe this ideology from Satoshi, there's nothing i am doing with bitcoins. The growth curve of bitcoin is definitely from "no acceptance" to "little acceptance" to "widespread acceptance" which the future will definitely bring.

Is there really anyone who just wanted to learn to trade for just knowledge sake alone?
The thought that a skill has the capacity to give you money should be motivation enough to drive you the interested person to want to learn well and more about it. For trading, the more substantial knowledge you can gather, the better your chances of making good profit from it.

Scalping is good, but for the likes of me that handles a lot of things daily, you may get distracted if you scalp and forget to close your trade, and since OP says he has noticed that most scalpers do not set stop losses, if you fall into that category, it might not be a good day for you as you will run into losses.

I do my trading with targets daily, it is better for me.

It's no big deal if you can't afford to invest in bitcoin, Bitcoin investment is not for everybody, if the price gets too high and it becomes difficult to invest in, there is the option of investing in other cryptocurrencies as there are also ample opportunities there as well. I believe a massive growth in the value of bitcoin will come as a result of widespread popularity and acceptance, the effect of the this will definitely be felt by other cryptocurrencies as well as more people will become aware of them.

Very heartbreaking, and a show that many El Salvadorians are still very misinformed/ignorant  about the new development the president is pushing, because if they did really understand why the country is trying to dump the USD and how this development can advance the entire country, i think they will have a rethink of these kind of attitude of retarding development.
I attribute this sort of behaviour to ignorance and misinformation.

It may also be the case of a few elites in the society who are not happy with the president on this and have started to engineer destruction and instigate violence.

It's very unbelievable that a team with the calibre of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe has cut my betting slip tonight. From today's game, it is obvious to me that the combination of the trio Messi, Neymar and Mbappe  are not there yet. The big question i am asking myself is, will this team be able to find the chemistry on the field of play on time before they are knocked out of UCL?

During the training sessions, most teams simulate situations on the field of play and practice those sceneries, for instance playing with one or two players less during training. So i see no reason why Manchester United could not still play properly with 10 men considering the quality of players on their side.

In this UCL, i don't see Barcelona as a contender for the first place, it's going to be a while before they can build a team around a new player since Messi is no longer with them.

I think Manchester United will still do well with the influence of CR7 on the team, it's obvious to everyone that the coach Ole made a tactical error removing CR7 from play, he underestimated the Young boys team a lot and they had the result to show for it. But the flaws in Manchester United side were evident today, if it were Manchester city with 10 men, Young boys will still feel the heat.

The coach better sit up, he has no excuse not to win the UCL this year.

Early sensitisation in the form of awareness can very effective in curbing the increasing number of compulsive gamblers and people with other vices in the society. 

Curiosity has driven many people into many things they didn't know that will later be a problem to them especially at an early age. The importance of talking about these things like gambling to adolescent is very important, not just to expose them to it, but to create an atmosphere where they are free and comfortable to verify from you what they hear from their peers and others around.
