if Bitcoin should revolve around $100k to $120k over a long period of time. Would you still continue buying for the purpose of preserving your capital for the long run or would a reduction in the upward volatility of Bitcoin cause you to reduce the pace of your DCA or stacking?
Bitcoin is an edge to inflation and fiat keeps on depreciating with time this is why no matter the level bitcoin price is, I will still continue to accumulate more bitcoin to keep the value of my funds from depreciating. I see bitcoin as my lifetime investment and I keep my savings in bitcoin because I know that in future, bitcoin will make me not regret about what I am doing today. Moreover, I get paid weekly from my signature campaign and I don't touch the funds as that is my bitcoin savings.

Whoever is buying bitcoin because he feels that bitcoin price will keep on pumping without correction or dips, does not understand the potentials of bitcoin, if not he will be happy to buy every time that he has money to buy.

Juventus decided not to continue Allegri as coach next season. The Coppa Italia trophy that he give for Juventus at least provided a good memory for club and fans. Even with a squad that did not play consistently in this season, it could still give Juventus the championship title, this can be a good achievement. Of course, this trophy was not what management and fans hoped for, but what Allegri has experienced this season makes it difficult for him to provide good strategy and play for his team, this trophy still can be a gift for all.

I think Juventus has taken the right decision. I was really expecting this news for a long time now since Juventus performance started declining. I don't really expect a big team with a big name to be in this kind of position. When this season started with the good performance of Juventus, a lot of people were thinking that it might be the case, but seriously, everything changes, and I will believe it is due to a lack of good coach management. That is why when the team was losing, the coach was not able to rebuild it.
 
Winning Coppa Italia is not what everyone is expecting from Juventus; with the big name, Juventus deserves more than this trophy to be celebrated, but still, I congrats the team for winning the title, and again, it is part of Allegri achievement. 
A good coach is what Juventus deserves as Allegri is old fashioned to cope with the young coaches strategies. A coach that is very flexible to understand how to overcome his opponent game tactics in order to take advantage of the match for a win.

I hope that the new coach will put Juventus back to their best form next season in order for them to be able to compete to win the league next season since this season is a bad one for them. The Coppa Italia should be used as a gift for his exit out of the club.

And what I understand is that if you really want to be a millionaire through gambling, you only have to increase in your amount that you stake the higher the amount the richer you can in a minutes.
Don't be decieved that the higher amount you stake, the richer you can be in a minute, because you will run at great loss before you will understand that gambling cannot win a fortune for you.

Only gamble for fun to avoid you running at great loss, and if peradventure you hit the jackpot, then you have all the funds to use in changing your life by investing it into a business.

Buying a house is the best but not everyone can afford to buy a house, and this is where renting a house comes in play, because everyone needs a roof over their head. Whoever cannot afford to buy a house due to his financial status should rent and have plans of buying, but if as time passes by, and you still cannot afford to buy one for yourself there is no need for worries.

Those who bought houses have already conquered accommodation problem for their generation, because their children will inherit the house and might not need to think of renting. It is also way of investing because you can rent the house, or sell it if you don't have kids when you are old.

The Real Madrid team proved once again that they are still going hard and continue to work hard enough. The goals they scored against Alaves won the match in style, much to the delight of Real Madrid fans. Although this season they are champions and are in the best position in La Liga and the improvement in their game is really interesting. Real Madrid has played the best in La Liga this season which is why they are still at the top and since they are champions they will surely perform well next season. Also, the excitement that Real Madrid is in at the moment, they will win the Champions League and the trophy, and I think this season is another happy time for Real Madrid. And since Real Madrid managed to win the La Liga trophy, it is very happy for Madrid statement, moreover, there is another trophy waiting for UCL, it will definitely be in the hands of Madrid.
Madrid thrashed Alaves on the night they celebrated their La Liga trophy. It was an impressive performance with a big margin. They're not just at the top, but 17 points clear of second-placed Barcelona. Real Madrid is the most successful club in the world for a reason. If not for Real Madrid, where else could I find such excitement and happiness? Only Madrid match brings me so much joy. They are the kings of Spain and Europe, now aiming for their 15th UCL title. No one expects Dortmund to stop them. Madrid is dangerous, and with their first-choice goalkeeper back, they'll surely start in the UCL final. The pressure is immense, and no one comes close. Best wishes to Real Madrid!
Real Madrid is one of the best teams in the world, perhaps the best. Even though they are currently the championship team, they still continue to play matches with their best performance. By the way, we are very happy to watch our Turkish Diamond Arda Güler and see him score goals in every match. As the Turkish people, we are completely behind him.
Real Madrid wants to prove to us that they are still very strong and ready to win any club that crosses their parts. This is why I so much ha confidence in them that they are going to win Dortmund in the finals since they are used to winning.

Barcelona is good this season but not as strong as Real Madrid and that was proven in El Classico match, but one thing that I know is that if Barcelona don't bring in new players when the transfer window is open, they might not be able to win Real Madrid next season.

Chelsea had to fight with 10 players from the 88th minute due to the red card received by Reece James. And Brighton almost equalized by scoring 1 goal in the 90+7 minute. But the match will be over soon and I hope Chelsea maintain the advantage they have at the moment. Because this team needs more motivation by continuing to win every remaining match. So that you are more excited for next season. Because I think next season Chelsea will improve soon. Because even now the young players at Chelsea are getting used to it and have more expectations. And now the match has ended with a score of 1-2. Congratulations to Chelsea who have managed to win for 3 weeks in a row.
It is great to see that Chelsea are getting up to their feet again, as their victory today over Brighton have secured them a spot in Europa cup next season. This is an impressive performance after all the challenges that they faced this season, they could put themselves back into the top 6 position. If Tottenham fails to win their next match and Chelsea win theirs, Chelsea will move up to the 5th position.

A wonderful performance from Manchester united who managed to win their match today after several weeks. I don't think that Manchester united will be going to a y European competition next season as they failed to meet up to the task.

The hope of winning the next game is what makes most gamblers chasing their losses. I made a mistake in the last game if not I could have won it  is what comes into your mind. I think that should be the spirit of addiction which keeps on telling us to play more, or will I say that it is the spirit of greed.

I have fallen victim into this several times, but I will tell myself that I should let go of it, because I will still run at loss again. That is how I use to overcome such thoughts when I have reached my gamble budget for the day.
368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 15, 2024, 05:07:08 PM

I feel bad for Dortmund's fans.

Dortmund take the first position in Group F among PSG, Newcastle and Milan, people said they're lucky.
Dortmund beat PSV, people said they're lucky.
Dortmund beat Atletico Madrid, yet people said they're lucky.
Dortmund beat PSG, once again people said they're lucky.
Now if Dortmund can beat Real Madrid, people will say same, they're lucky. Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I would say if it's happen f
or one or two times, it's correct it might be lucky. But it's already four times, Dortmund really put their effort to win the match.

Dortmund is considered lucky by most people because its opponents were in inconsistent positions in the group phase, Milan and Newcastle. However, when they were in the quarter-finals, this actually proved that it was not just luck that they qualified, but that they deserved to be at this level. Indeed, in the final the chances are very small, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. If Dortmund can win this match, I agree with you, those who think Dortmund is lucky will make the same comments. So, no matter what they think, lucky or not, Dortmund is a threat to Madrid, and they are deserves to go to final. a win is a win, right? lucky or not it's just a perspective.
Only luck can do so many great things, because that word luck supercedes professionalism. A lucky wretched man can stake his bet and win a whoopy sum of $10m and turn his life around. Luck can make a very weak team win a very strong team with a slight difference. So if people are saying Dortmund came all the way from the group stage to the finals with luck.....it is fine.

It means that they will also win Real Madrid with luck, and this shows that Dortmund are the luckiest the season.  Cheesy

Whoever wins the finals is what matters and no one care on how it was won. A win is a win and the trophy and record will be taken home by the winners, while those who are the best will go home with shame and failure. I know that Madrid is better than Dortmund, but if Dortmund can win them with luck, I will be marvel at it, and still celebrate with them because I don't like to be a loser but a winner by luck.

Everyone talks about how Leverkusen do not need to care about the final game of the bundesliga, but they have been unbeaten so far, 50 games if I am not wrong, and they have just three more games, one more bundesliga game, on cup game, and one europa game.

I think when you have this little amount of games left, trying to win them all would be the way to go, "not caring" doesn't seem to be possible for them anymore. I mean can you imagine if they ended up losing right here? That would be horrible, if they lost like 10 games ago then I would understand losing this too, but they have gone unbeaten so far, that has to be counting for something. I think they care about winning all three games very much and will try to do that.
It will be useless for them to accept defeat now that they only have 3 games left to make history, and that is what is more important to them which is winning all their remaining games and make history. It is shocking to see that upon all the tough clubs that Leverkusen played this season with a total of 50 matches, they have not been defeated in all competitions.

This season is a good season for them and will be a remarkable one if they finish the season unbeaten with two trophies to show how quality their performance was. Arsenal was only able to record their unbeaten record in domestic league and not in international competitions. Leverkusen have proved that both in domestic and European competitions they can achieve their unbeaten record with the few matches left. They will win Europa but it will not be easy because they are facing a deadly squad.
370  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale strategy is a failure if you are consistent with it on: May 15, 2024, 03:18:39 PM
I don't like the Martingale strategy because it will make you run at loss faster since you keep on increasing your bet in every new bet that is made. It is not advisable for gamblers to use it because gamble is a luck base game and not by any strategy that we use in order to make profit.

NO matter what strategy a gambler comes up wit, you might be lucky at the beginning of using it, but later on, you will run at loss. That time that you were winning is not because of the strategy that you were using but it just happened that your luck was on the game, and that was why you won the bets. Luck will never last, as it only comes withing a short time, and that is why we should only gamble for fun and use little funds for it to avoid great loss.
371  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How to HODL for long. on: May 15, 2024, 02:39:01 PM
You can become successful as a long term hodlers, if you have already made a proper plan on how much your discretionary income is, and how much that you will invest into bitcoin without it affecting your monthly needs and expenses. Which means that you must have a means of income to enable you invest in bitcoin for long.

Emergency funds should be your priority when investing a d hodli for long so that whatever emergency that occurs during this time, you use the funds as back up in order for you not to sell your bitcoin when it is not the right time that you intend to. Have a reserve funds too to help you not touch your emergency funds only when a real emergency arises that if it is not taken care of, it will lead to damage of life and property. For instance, a great storm pulled off the roof of your house.

Have a bitcoin target and use a cold storage wallet to store your bitcoin, since you are only hodling and not selling, it is better that at the same time as you are hodling if you don't have enough Bitcoin, you should also keep on accumulating with DCA regularly weekly or monthly.

The solana guy's issue is very embarrassing and shameful to say the least. It leaves me with a distasteful taste in my mouth when I read it. How can you be this irresponsible and stupid. Why throw away your career in future just for a habit that people would easily offer heap and not mock you. It indeed breaks my heart that people are not honest with themselves about their addiction. They keep hiding it and betraying the trust of their friends.
Gambling addiction is something no one should fall into because if you do, it will ruin your reputation and business, if you are a business man. I am not surprised at this guy's actions because it was addiction that caused it since he cannot control himself and he has access to public funds in his custody. What happened to him is the same thing that will happen to any addicted gambler, because they only know how to chase their losses until their losses will turn around to hunt them.

When you gamble with people's money in the due to addiction, if you money is not yet exhausted, they will not stop. Forgetting that it is not their money and that the owners of those funds will definitely ask for it and when you cannot provide it, your losses will start chasing you until you pay them back to the owners or you go to jail. An addicted gambler should not go into any business, if he has not overcome his addiction, if not he will gamble off his business.

Tottenham could have equalized at the end of the game. Son had a great moment to do so when he went one-on-one with Ortega, but was unable to score. But despite Tottenham's active play, City won anyway.

It seems that Manchester City will win this EPL season, but we have to wait for the last match. Then everything will become clear.

High expectations cut short even if I'm no gunner. It breaks my heart that after all these hardworkings from Arsenal, they won't be winning the Premier League Competition.

They was leapfrogged last season, it seems like they will see same happening this season if they don't get that surprised winning or stop from West Ham United. It's not completely over you see? It's never over until it's over. One more game to call it a wrap. Gunners has finna done all they could to win it but shiit!

I won't blast Son so much for what, Arsenal should have dine during the game against Aston Villa. I will always have that game in my skull as Mikel Arteta didn't do well to in that game during this second phase of the Premier League Competition.  There's every possiblity that Manchester City will want to cause havoc on West Ham United come weekend.

Thanks to Jeremy Doku for winning that penalty after the poor challenge from Pedro Porro.
It seems that all hope is lost on Arsenal winning the trophy this season because this was the match that they were using to have hope in taking over the first position from Manchester city but it ended up to be a disappointment to them as Manchester city was able to win Tottenham on a clean sheet to gain three points.

Arsenal match against Aston Villa was when they made a big mistake of not winning the match, because that was when the league slipped off from their hands in City hands which is currently in. I don't know why Arsenal always have the chance of winning the trophy but they don't always take advantage of the opportunities until it is gone, that is when they will wish that City loses for them to win. Arsenal is like my country Nigeria who uses the defeat of the other country to ha e hope on qualifying for a competition.
374  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 14, 2024, 08:03:44 PM
At the moment Man City are mounting much pressure which is expected considering they have everything to lose if the game end like this or they lose. Tottenham Hotspur can do better too if only they maintain their confidence and continue pressing Man City whenever they have the chance because you have to think like Man City to be able to beat them and I feel this first half will end in a draw.
Both teams are putting almost equal pressure on each other at the moment. And Tottenham actually played beyond expectations. but when Man City makes an attack we can see that Tottenham's back line easily panics. I think Tottenham must maintain composure and continue to put the same pressure on the Man City defense. The fast attack scheme that Tottenham sometimes shows looks good, but there are still many errors such as the accuracy of failed breakthrough passes. I suspect that in the first half there will be 1 goal.
Tottenham looked more fierce in the first half and they played with too much confidence attacking Manchester city. I was shocked that Tottenham was able to play this way  and they also lost one or two opportunity.

I don't expect that City will not be to score any goal or perform this way in the first half. I believe that the second half will be in the favor of City after some substitute would be made in the second half for success, but if the match continues in this pattern without City improving their performance, Tottenham might end their dreams of being the champion this season.
375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Accessing gambling sites only on desktop as a means to prevent addiction on: May 14, 2024, 06:36:47 PM
It is a good tactics for those gamblers that are not addicted to gambling but always exhaust their gambling budget before time. Using desktop alone to gamble will help gamblers that are always within the reach of their PC all the time or gamblers that don't gamble often.

I also know some gamblers in my country that don't have a PC but they are gamblers. The major problem that this will solve is to prevent one that can apply it from addiction, but whoever is already an addict will not be able to follow such method. Another thing is if your PC is faulty amd you don't have funds to fix it up immediately or it is too old and you need a replacement, you need to gamble from a mobile device.
376  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have you been profiting from memecoins? on: May 14, 2024, 04:47:17 PM
You know that since bitcoin halving is over and we are expecting the bull run, most coins will be created and pump into the market in order to make profit from the bull run hype of bitcoin, since after bitcoin bull run, it will be the altcoins time. It is good to invest in meme coins but the problem is will you be lucky enough to know the right coin to invest in that will give you profit is another thing that is difficult.

The reason why investing in these meme coins are like gamble is because it is mainly on luck. However, if you are lucky you will be able to buy that coin that will last and pump, but if you are not lucky, you will buy a pump and dump coin which will lead you to a big loss. This is why I am always very careful with meme coins and if I am buying any, it is for gambling and I use only 5% of my total bitcoin portfolio to invest in them.
377  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Cryptocurrency have created more jobs for the youths than the goverments on: May 14, 2024, 04:17:27 PM
I will not agree with your topic title, but I will say that the youths in Nigeria have provided jobs for themselves more than the government has done recently, especially in this Era of cryptocurrency. This is because most youths now are aware of the benefits of investing in bitcoin and how trading works which they have keyed into it as a means of survival, neglecting the government incapable of providing them with jobs. The reason why youths who are into cryptocurrency will prefer it to a government job is because, you don't need any office that you wake up to or have a Boss controlling you. You stay at home and trade at your own convenience. Moreover, government jobs in Nigeria salaries are poor compared to the high level of inflation. Most government jobs required fresh graduates, only in a field that cannot be handled by fresh graduates which needs experience.

As a matter of fact, i do think there is even provision for students job as it is in some parts of the world... here is always graduation before getting a job.
Nigeria government does not believe in students working and at the same time going to school, and this is why you see that jobs have various level of qualifications. The reason is because Nigeria government work starts from 8am - 4pm, a student will not be able to face his studies and at the same time be able to work this long in one day. It is possible in other countries because they have jobs that are paid by hour, and those are the jobs for students. A student can only work during the holidays, with a private company.

You should also note that in those foreign countries where students work, their courses are flexible and not as much as ours in Nigeria. For here you fit attend class from 8am - 4pm nonstop.

The most performances will be with the Real Madrid team and the Dortmund team. Two of the best teams of the season, they worked hard and beat strong teams to enter the finals. But in this case, Real Madrid team has won the title the most because they know how to win the title, but Donmundo team has hardworking players and the defenders are the strongest. But I bet for the Real Madrid team, they have worked hard to win titles in the past.
Real Madrid are definitely the favorites and Real Madrid's chances are high. If you look closely at Dortmund's journey to the finals, you will see that this team was very lucky as they had easy opponents from the Super Sixteen to the semi-finals and managed to perform well against these easy opponents. Even if they make it to the semi-finals, the final match hurdle will never be easy for them as their opponent in the final match is Real Madrid. If they can overcome the challenge of the final match then I will definitely appreciate this team's performance and consider this team as a team that deserves to win the Champions League title.
It will only be on luck, if Dortmund should win this Champions league. When it comes to performance from the start of the season Dortmund are no where near Madrid, even Dortmund is aware and would need to step up their game, if their performance would be as that of how they faced PSG then their is no chances of winning Madrid. During the semi final against PSG they played tactically moderate and with that approach they can't win in the finals even Madrid plays a lot more defensive. Still very unimaginable how good Madrid is at converting even the slightest opportunity, Dortmund should play very defensive and make good use of opportunity if they really want to win the game.
PSG was not lucky enough playing Dortmund in both first and second leg, because assuming those balls that hit the bar of the goal post were goals, we will not be seeing Dortmund in the finals, but as luck is involved in all games, that was what brought Dortmund to the finals.

When it comes to luck, I think that Real Madrid are more lucky than Dortmund since football history, and when it comes to quality football, I believe that Real Madrid has it more than Dortmund, also when it comes to quality players, they have it all. This is why I don't think that there will be any magic that will make Dortmund win Real Madrid.
379  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 14, 2024, 02:59:11 PM
Mathematically, Aston Villa still has a chance to appear in the Champions League and they were lucky they didn't lose last night against Liverpool. Now the competition is so open between Aston Villa and Spurs where the two teams will fight for a champions league place with a very small difference in points.

I didn't expect everything to be decided until the last match and currently Spurs are slightly favored considering they have 2 matches remaining and Aston Villa only has 1 match remaining. But it won't mean anything if Spurs can't beat Manchester City today and therefore they really have to get 3 points from Manchester City if they want to return to the Champions League. It won't be easy considering that it is through this match that Manchester City can lock up its EPL title again and we will definitely be surprised by the results later.
We can assume that today will be the most decisive match for Tottenham, after which they will still have chances, or everything will be over. The difficulty is that City is also a very important match in which they only need to win. So for Aston Villa this is good and the fact that yesterday they were able to play with Liverpool in a draw also gives them an extra point, perhaps which can be ultimately be decisive. But it seems to me that City will be able to win today, Tottenham is not a team that plays important matches well.
If Tottenham wins this match or not, they will still remain where they are and will not be able to move to the 4th position because is ahead of the with 5 points clear, so I don't see anything that makes it a decisive match for Tottenham. It is Manchester city that needs to male sure that they win Tottenham in order for them to go back to the top of the table, since Arsenal is one point ahead of them.

I am not sure that Tottenham will be able to make it a difficult match for Manchester city, because they have being losing to big teams recently, and that makes me think that City will win the game and gain all three points. However, we cannot be very sure of this because football is full of surprises, and it might be that Tottenham might not accept defeat but they don't have the strength to withstand Manchester city attacking force.

Since gambling sites and casinos are out there for business, they will always make sure that the system is programmed in a way that it will be in their favor most of times, amd this is why the say of the house hedge always win , because real gamblers knows this, that no matter how you think that you are smart in gambling, you will always run at loss, and they gamble for fun.

If you chase your old losses thinking that you will recover them, that is where the problem starts from because you will only have more losses and if you continue, addiction will the next.
