It's a player's decision if he wants to stay in a club or leave, also it depends on his contract signed with the team as well as the teams decision to either keep him or let him go. In PSG, Mbappe is one key man that they don't want to give off yet. Even though his contract is set to expire by summer, they still know he's advantageous and would want to keep him.

 For Mbappe, his stay in the team beyond and after the expiration of the contract seems to be dependent on his intentions as well as the teams performance in the long run. Good thing for him that Madrid may not really be interested in him yet until summer so he's got to be a bit patient till then, then maybe, he'd be willing to join the Spanish side. Even though Liverpool were questing for him as well, i didn't think they were set to afford that amount for him during the January transfer window. Let's just anticipate summer break whilst watching his movement decision unfold.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi has been silent likewise Mbape, this shows that there is underground discussion has been going on because if we are to forget about this media discussion, PSG want to keep Mbape to the team. They currently have no player that is as good as him and that's why they are doing anything to push his contract to 2026 atleast. If Mbape leave PSG by the end of the season and they don't have any replacement, even the Ligue1 cup they are known to be winning is going to be difficult for them to win.

They can't hide him in that room forever, he has done all he has to do in for that club, it's better to leave when things are still better. I'm not sure if the are going to win these Champions League this season, but if they win under luck circumstances, then Real Madrid dream will be far from over. However, I just think going to Real Madrid will be better for him to pursue more on his career just like the way Ronaldo did back then.

Nigeria lsuper eagle locked south Africa down for the penalty shootout because, they have a good goalkeeper who knows how to catch penalty very well and it was a surprised that Nigeria goalkeeper achieved the title of man of the game that happened yesterday and, it has added more value to the team and it will give them the courage to face Ivory coast on Sunday and Nigeria will win the trophy.

Been a long time since I see happiness on Nigerians faces, yesterday was totally different and social media was very fun yesterday. I was having some doubts about that match but I feel like we were rubbed with Osimhen match, when we were two 1 goal away I wasn't satisfy with them score yet but that goal gave me too much hope but that Ref robbed it on our faces after checking the Var. If some of the decisions Var made in Afcon that were made in European leagues, they will say it's unprofessional but we understand and lastly we won and now in the final stage.

Ivory coast are going to face Super Eagles again after the last group stage, the goal differences wasn't much but I want to see us give them atleast 2 goals and if they try, it will end in 2-1. We deserve this Afcon trophy because since this tournament has started, we weren't focus on playing to impress, we played to win even though we have one of the best players in this tournament.
363  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit. on: February 08, 2024, 04:11:48 PM

What is mostly common in my neighborhood and that I mostly do is soccer betting and if I am not exaggerating, 90% of the people that do soccer betting do do because they want to win money.

They can watch the match for fun but as long as it involved them paying money before gambling, most persons don't normally see it as fun and this is the reason why after placing a particular bet, if the game isn't successful they continue betting hoping to get a win along the way thervy being seen as addict.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

This is not just in your neighborhood, it's a general thing that everyone does but we don't want to accept the idea that we all do gambling to make money. If I want to have fun, club is the right place I will want to hangout with some couple of friends or make a get together in any garden during weekends, these are remarkable things that are more fun to me because each time I remember the fun of it, it gives goose bumps and sweet memories.

Gambling has its own fun but I only get that in a single bets. You can't tell me that you have a multiple bet with 21 games that are waiting to be played with a little money and you called that a fun, it might be in some extent but the outcome is what many people are after and not what they called fun in actual sense. The motivation behind gambling is money and after that, the next motivation is money.
364  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence? on: February 08, 2024, 03:56:52 PM
Being addicted to gambling can be a thorn in the flesh. We have heard many bad behavior from gambling addicts that shows that gambling is a serious concern requiring serious efforts at curbing it. Many casinos also include in their disclaimer "gamble responsibly" and this shows the danger of gambling addiction.

However, I'm wondering if addiction can make someone become aggressive to the point of leading to domestic violence. Has there been any known case of it happening? Lets know what you have to say.

A violent person is easy to spot and you can tell immediately when they get angry. There is a difference between been angry and been sad. When I gamble and I lose and I'm emotionally affected, I can only be sad and not angry to the level that I will beat someone, domestic violence is a serious case that can land someone in prison and I wouldn't even joke about it, beating a person you claim you love is a total madness, the person is suffering from another side problem and not gambling loss.

If any person is every addicted to gambling, I don't think violence will ever be the result. Naturally we have women beaters that beat women for small things, anytime you see a person involved in gambling and start beating woman, just know that they are using gambling addiction as camouflage, an addicted person will be useless financially but not lose his sense of reasoning with human relations.
365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 08, 2024, 03:36:39 PM
I think City will be champions this season. The deciding match will be against Liverpool in March. I bet City will win the EPL competition this season. Their performance is very good and we can see that with the recovery of Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne, City will be very strong. I hope City will return with a complete squad in the match against Everton later.

March is too far in my opinion, they are one match away from playing round 23 which 90% of the team has played already. If Manchester City should play their next match against Everton which everyone knows they are going to win, they will come to the top of the table and then to win the Premier League title will become the battle of the winners with no lost or few draws in the next few months to go. If there is any team that can do that, then I will have to go with Manchester City because last season, they did 21 win a row without any single loss.

Another advantage Manchester City is going to use to win this title is the fact that the have no player with any effect of red card no injury but Liverpool has few with Salah been the main outstanding player from Liverpool, Konate will also be missing the next two matches after the last red card from Arsenal match. I want to see Arsenal go to number one but I'm not sure how ready the are right now, City has this one no doubt.

I was thinking about my past experience with my grandmother when I was still starting in crypto industry and was getting familiar with gambling yet. Since I knew she was a gambling enthusiast (loved slot machines), I tried introducing her to virtual betting, telling it was an accessible and easy method to gamble from home with comfort and easiness.

When you virtual betting, I was lost for some minutes until I read the other part where you described it to be online gambling. I thought it was that virtual kind if bet drains gamblers money before their eyes, if you are a regular sport bettor that use bookmarkers, you will understand the type of virtual I'm talking about. I once recommend a particular betting platform for an Uber driver after he told me that he was been cheated with his games. He won with the gambling platform he was using but instead they return his money and canceled the bets. I have his number and never has he called to complain of such happening in where I recommend him.

Quote
As you can see, it wasn't only about gambling, but also about interacting with other people inside a real gambling environment, besides the technological experience not being so rewardable when compared to playing at solid, palpable physical machines.

And you, have you ever successfully introduced an elder person to virtual gambling?

Other than introducing them to gambling, they know some things way better than me. I engage them when we have discussion and sometimes. There are experienced they share is always adorable, share some of the mistakes they have done in the past while betting, no way of discussing with elderly people without giving you advise, it's cool when we both learned.

What is the essence of buying and hodling Bitcoin like is it to accumulate it till it attains ATH then we sell it off and wait for a dip and start buying and holdling again or just accumulate it and start using it as a digital means of exchange or are we going to continue till the 21 million Bitcoins have be mined, already 19 millions have been mined remaining 2 million because overtime, i have come across several topics about buy and hodl bitcoin so i actually wish to know the sole objective of acquiring bitcoins.

People buy bitcoin for different reasons but the majority do it to gain profit and the common one is buy dip and sell the news, mostly not when there is ATH but when they have had enough profit. That's what they do continuesly. The reason why this is also common is that Bitcoin is highly volatile and in every of his cycle, it will go up and down, these continues waves is what traders utilize to make their profits.

We have some countries that has excepted Bitcoin as a legal tender, El Salvador is one of them and as I'm writing this, he is been re-elected for second time president of the country where Bitcoin is free to use for all, you are free to use bitcoin to buy what you want over there. We also have some companies that accept Bitcoin too. As for the 21 millions, the rest of the supply will not be fully mine until the next 100 years, so that's not a problem.
368  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Many traders will lose soon a lot the ftx 2.0 is ready on: February 05, 2024, 05:11:31 PM
then what exchangers can be trusted. if binance, whose transaction volume is the largest in the world, is said to be unsafe. provide along with the reasons why binance is said to be less safe or unsafe, and what are also the reasons why the exchanger that you are

Safety of centralized exchanges is relative and personal, you don't expect me to tell you that Binance is safe because I have traded one or two coins on the exchange. You may have more money than me and when you test it and they find you suspicious, they can freeze your accounts and funds for some reasons and that's why I wouldn't advice anyone to maintain a single exchange if you must trade.

It's difficult for traders not to use centralized exchanges to keep coins because you don't have choice than to keep it their, not because you like it because you might have an open order, coins that are listed only on a single exchange and trade there. So the best thing I will advice you as a trader is to make sure to use to or 3 exchanges and share coins that you trade on them for peace of min; there is no way for the exchanges to disappear at the same time and should be share base on the trust of the general public and reviews.

FROM…… OGSMALL OP NO RUSHING IN LIFE


During bullrun, because it's very easy to print profits, everyone becomes an expert and it gives them that fake illusion that they are expert but experience and professionals are born from the ones that escape bear market because it's one of the most sophisticated market to overcome. This time, even the volume is always 3 times lower than what is seen in bullrun, this is to say many of them run away from trading when it's hard to do.

During bullrun, even indicators and trend lines don't work like that much, it's easy to print profits without doing much analysis and that is why you see many of these newbies claimed to be expert. Look at Solana meme coins that are pumping all these while, so many people has made money from them but let the market experience downfall, many of them will skip trading, the stubborn traders will lose more than they prepared for.

I'm not an expert when it comes to full time trading and I can't give detail explanation but just learn about technical and fundamental analysis and you are good to go with your journey.
370  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Low Liquidity Altcoins on: February 05, 2024, 03:22:08 PM
Investing in such tokens is a big risk, I agree with this, but for trading they can be acceptable, besides, when a pump occurs on such alts, then during the period of such activity the volumes grow very well and there will be no problems with liquidity either. And for investing, I wouldn’t risk picking up such alts, it’s too risky for me to decide to invest my money in it.

For long-term investment, we have Bitcoin, this is an asset with which I will always feel confident, so why should I create risks for myself that could harm me.

Crypto has a liquidity challenge in general, even Bitcoin isn't exempted from this problem. It's not like the traditional market that are very liquid and don't break down on pressure. I'm going to use one for example, Jeff Bezoz wife announced last week that she is going to be selling about 50 millions shares of Amazon, it was intentional and she needed liquidity and the announcement didn't shake Amazon price but if that happen to crypto, you will see immediately that people will start selling.

Bitcoin also has the same challenge. When coins hat are mine many years ago are unlock, people start to panic for no reasons, even if it is as little as 10 BTC, they worry that something is about to happen or maybe even the shorters are always happy about this so they can make money. We need confidence to reduce these challenge and help ourselves so that these market and panic will disappear forever.
371  Economy / Economics / Re: Quitting Smoking Has Two Big Benefits. on: February 05, 2024, 03:04:59 PM
Quitting smoking has two big benefits, and I've been doing it for over 3 months. And both can be said to be long-term investments, apart from long-term health, the money used to buy cigarettes can also be used to invest and I invested in Bitcoin.

I'm not a smoker but I have seen how strong smokers really are especially when they say smokers are reliable to die young, they tend to live mote years than even a healthy person we see everyday. Look at the likes of Snoop dog, Wiz Khalifa and the rest but maybe it's because they smoke weed and not ordinary cigarettes that are cheap, even when you see them smokes cigars, it's always the expensive ones. Not to justify smoking but these guys are last long than others don't smoke.

Quote
In one month I can spend approximately $90 to buy cigarettes, and the price of the cigarettes I buy is around $2/pack for one pack a day and sometimes more than one pack.
And by quitting smoking, I was able to increase my regular monthly Bitcoin purchases from a portion of my monthly salary as well as $90 per month in cigarette money.

If we project how much you have been smoking, it means you smoke roughly $1800 a year, that's really bad addiction right there but you are happy, aren't you. I hope you still keep to your promises. To keep a healthy lungs, you must avoid smoking but the problem is even after making promises and not to come back again, they do come back to smoking again.

Invest wise, why not keep the dollar and then wait when these cycle is complete? Not saying you are not going to make profits buying Bitcoin here at these price might not give you much profit, you will hardly make x1 of your investment if you don't trade carefully because you can only make when bitcoin double more at this current price.
372  Economy / Economics / Re: Why we should prioritize investment over saving on: February 04, 2024, 09:04:15 PM
Saving our hard earned money have never been a bad idea, but their are certain things we need to consider before thinking of saving, such as inflation.
Inflation is truly the real enemy to every money that is being saved up, because when the time is right like a year time, when it should be used for it purpose, the value wouldn't be as how it actually was when you started saving it, but on the other hand, if we have been investing that money into Bitcoin, land or gold bit by bit, over the course of a year, the value of that your investment would have added additional value compared to our savings that will be eaten up by inflation.
So too me we should think of investing more of our money than saving it, so that  inflation wouldn't eat it up.

Saving has always been a bad idea from the day of inception but many of us didn't just realized how bad these institution has been making use of our money to make more money from the profits they get from us. The banks literally own no money, what they do is take your deposits and give it as loan, make millions and billions profits after the end of the year and reinvest the money again and the circle continue with more and more profits and they give you small cuts from these billions with 2% yearly interest of your deposits, isn't that bad and wicked.

When you want to invest, don't always based facts on Bitcoin, land or even gold, please explore into other investments that are good for long term because even Bitcoin is not perfect investment, it has its own disadvantage. We have some good stocks that are still healthy and worthy to invest on and after some time, they can give you something amazing in the future or better still diversify your investment into different things if you have much funds to allocate.
373  Economy / Economics / Re: Tech Layoffs on: February 04, 2024, 08:52:10 PM
Not a day goes by without a tech company announcing major job cuts. Today Paypal and Block (both payment service providers) have announced a total of 3500 job cuts, and recently Salesforce, Microsoft, SAP, Google, Ebay etc. have also done so. According to https://layoffs.fyi, 25,000 documented tech jobs have already been cut this year.

What do you think? Is it just a shrinkage and normalization after the strong build-up of the workforce during Corona or a long-term trend that will accelerate through the use of AI?


So many tech company employ a lot of staffs druing corona and that was because the need to work remotely was very necessary, I'm not sure if there is any company that has not resume back to physically work fully except for experts that are needed remotely to perform jobs and judging by these numbers of job cuts, it's the remote jobs that are been cut off from the grid system and people that are left has to do the work of those jobs that were cut off just like the way Elon Musk did when he took over X(formaerly X).

AI might not really be the ones taken over these jobs, I still think it's too early for the artificial intellingence to take over so many jobs in these numbers, machines can't solve everything, there are still aspect of human that will be require to finish the job and I also think that AI are still in early phase to accomplish task efficiently. Even looking at some of the AI written works I have seen, it is force and not close to what human can do with many errors that can be easily detected by human, no way AI can replace human completely.
374  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How a $112 Million XRP Hack Shook the Crypto World! on: February 04, 2024, 08:04:46 PM
The hack of Chris Larsen’s personal XRP accounts is one of the biggest and most shocking events in the crypto world. It shows the risks and challenges that crypto investors and companies face in this volatile and unregulated industry. It also shows the resilience and potential of XRP, which is still one of the most popular and widely used cryptocurrencies in the world.

How is $112 million worth of XRP hack birth this episodes that you have shared including SEC part that you included. The last time I check, XRP didn't rest that much to this hack, didn't plummet to as high as 10% like other coins use to do when they are hack. Perhaps, because it was announced that some of the tokens that were transfer to exchange were quickly seize on Binance and Okex exchange, this isn't good for the XRP community, project underperformed whenever there is too much coin on circulation and XRP already had much billions.

I don't know how bad the state has been but this would have been better if they fork XRP. They should pass a vote of confidence in the Dao that's if they had one and make sure that the whole of that XRP is useless and then compensate the co-founder from the foundation just to make the community gain back trust and the exchanges don't have to worry about such coins.

Although, I'm having some questions. Why is Binance not making investigations on these XRP that came to their exchange. I thought they have KYC to identify thefts or they don't use them for fishing out these type of heist in crypto, clowns.

I know many people who enter the market and are very successful, they have huge profits but all they do is invest. They almost forget that they also need to spend and use the profits from the crypto market to make their lives better.

I want to hear from you:
  • Have you ever been profitable and taken profits in the crypto market?
  • How did you use that profit? Do you use that profit or reinvest it?
  • Do you think using profits is also important for your investment journey?

You are married and has kids, not everyone as investors are married and have kids. Some people live alone, some live with their friends while some live or stay with their parents and they have enough money to do these instead of selling their coins to buy items for kids and other family members but it's a good thing by the way, there is love in sharing and people will appreciate you for gifting them.

It's very good to take profits most especially in altcoins, there circle isn't guarantee to stay forever, every run has an end and you should be ready to plug your investment before it turns into water but what we do with can't be the same as we don't share the same problems. There are some crypto millionaires that don't have anything big in their rooms, just a TV screen and a bed and they are good, I'm serious. Cheesy

*I personally wouldn't wait for market to be overwhelmed and too excited before jumping out, I don't trust altcoin that much, the ones I had were profitable and some didn't due to normal crypto things.
*Profit was use for what it was use for.
*As long as profit serve it's purpose, I don't have problem with it.

These days, the cryptocurrency market is going up, but many new projects seem to be not so great. About 90% of them are meme coins, just for quick gains and not really useful. However, there's that remaining 10% with interesting and unique concepts. It's tough to find them, though. I came across a GameFi project named "Insurrection," which is play-to-earn. It caught my eye because the game is already live, playable, and looks professional. What do you think about getting involved in a gaming project like this in the current market?
Website and Gitbook links are below:

Website: https://insurrection.games/
Gitbook: https://insurrection-app.gitbook.io/the-insurrection/


Is this a marketing strategy to sell out your project or just a random post created for awareness, I refuse to believe this thread wasn't intentional to make people visit that projects because you are a newbie registered since 2021 only to make this as first post, no way! I'm going to drop my opinion just like the way other people has done.

If you own these project, scrappy it and do something better, no pun intended but that's the reality of current state of the market. I believe you have seen how many play to earn where forgotten so quickly and to tell you that these coins where venture funded and back by many teams from independent companies but take a minute and study play to earn coins and their chart, you will be ashame because they were all build on the pretense of hype. I doubt if you have funds like the way these others even does.

Why not just leave crypto and focus on other things maybe you will do well over there. Just an advice, look at Apple store and Google play store with many games and yet we have outstanding ones that have premium service and beverage they are addicting, people are buying the premium sub. Wouldn't it better without involving everything as crypto. You can decide tokenize the game after that if their is need for it and it will even catch a lot of attention because the game is already in demand before crypto and the users will real instead of the usual bots activities that will saturate your project.
377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making too many picks reduces chances of winning. on: February 03, 2024, 08:43:42 PM
I actually think that the more we pick, the more chances we can win. The only downside of doing this is that we can earn less profit. I'm thinking about the game of Roulette here as one of my example. It is when you bet on multiple numbers and other ways to place a bet (E.g. color red, odd/even, etc.).

That's not the case with the gambling that I know especially betting whether it's Basketball, Handball, Table tennis, Hockley or Football, selecting multiple games doesn't increase your chance of winning but it increase your odd of winning, more games you select the more big your odds become and when you stake small amount, you get a potential pay out. This is helping a lot because it's like a multiplier for other casino games but the disadvantage of this is when you lose a game, you lose everything.

Quote
But, the case is different in a parlay game when we play sports betting. It may lessen your chance to win there but the more return you are going to get once you predict all or a lot of correct matches. Setting up a budget for gambling is great but it does not mean that we won't be doing the strategy anymore. We still can, if we think we can benefit more with it.

I am not good at parlay betting, a lot of people lose money quickly with this parlay but if you are good at making picks, you can recover your money without doing much but it's just hard to get. However, the advantage of parlay over ordinary bets is that ones you win, you will b able to recover all your last 3 months bet, so you can only enjoy it if you are capable of winning in the future and you have a steady money to gamble when you want to play.

A few days ago, my friend luckily won a bet and have used the funds to open a business for his wife and himself
And that's where my question is coming from because for some, they're into gambling to make money, whereas some gamble for fun, but if luckily for you, and you have won a bet in the past, or luckily, you win a reasonable amount of money, did you achieve something with the money?/will you try to sort out some of those problems that lead you to go into gambling, like using it to establish a business, or did you lavished the money because it was unexpected free money?

He is smart and he knows gambling is not a day to day business where you will get to earn everyday or everytime. The business will sustain him and his family if the bets doesn't come as usual and a business is also an invest where you can have money to gamble again when you don't have another hope for tomorrow. The business might not goes well though if the woman or the family doesn't take care of the business because I feel the man might be divided having mind in gambling and having mind in business or might not do well in gambling again, these are my personal experience from people that start business after winning big amount of money.

Quote
I know of a guy living in my street who won a huge amount of money in gambling last year, he lavished the whole money and now came back being broke.

I have seen many too that won big money, but they lavished the money by going to the nightclubs and started living all sorts of luxury life because they didn't stress to get the money. If you are a gambler, you should think about or write down a reasonable or memorable thing you would do with the money in case luckily for you one day you won a huge amount of money in gambling, so you will ever remember where the money did come from.

Not everyone think that deep. We as human beings can't be the same, we can't have the same.goal in life and we may not have the same vision. I think an adult who legitimately win his money shouldn't be questioned on how he choose to spend his money but it's good to use it for good course and investment but not a justification to say clubbing with the money means unserious life, I believe the clubs are there for reasons and he is using it for what makes him happy, you can't always force things on people but personally, I wouldn't do such because my head will be thinking about tomorrow.

He have gotten used to this way because he started gambling all by himself and he won some money but end up even fuelling his addiction. What is next? Any tip?

There is a way to help him but first, he need to help him self by understanding that he need to do research before you do anything in life. Unless he is been course or lack what gambling is about, I don't think it will make send for an adult to hustle for 30 days only to waste everything on gambling, like he isn't stress for doing that? He doesn't have responsibilities or bills to pay, he might have another way of having money to east and do other stuffs else I don't think a grown up person will do something these crazy and will repeat the same thing.

If you can help me, sit him down and spank his head with some advice, tell him how gambling is meant to be done, if possible give him a formula and percentage of Bankroll he should use a month before gambling. If he is serious about his life, he is going to change and if he is not ready, I don't think you can change his orientation and views of gambling. He will sort it out own his own but them a lot of damage would have been done or more losses.

I know this gambling guy that share 20 personal computer to students to aid their studies after winning $400k, it was a core i7 generation and ssd storage and I was jealous of such gifting he gave to people. He said, he didn't have the opportunity to further his education upto master because of funds but now he does have but don't have the time and he decided to bless undergraduates students to help them make learning to be easy and efficient for them, he has been bless with more wins after that but that is the one I cherish the most.

I want to do these too one day and help people because I believe when you help people, the kindness comes back in many fold. However, please let's the generosity start from your own family, some people have he habits of been generous to outsiders but wouldn't extend that hands to their own family. I will give and dash money to my family and friends and then do for outsiders but I will be careful of how generous you can be to avoid having nothing left for yourself.
