You dey correct with your points, but I believe say wetin cause this rapid growth for bitcoin price recently na base on the bitcoin ETF approval wey happen for January. We been no first feel am because Grayscale being dey sell their bitcoin everyday, but e be like say na now that bitcoin ETF approval dey show the positive impact for the market. Make we no surprise say we fit reach close to the last ATH price wey be 69k before the halving reach. However, history never fit prove am say ATH dey come before the halving because na the halving to trigger the bull run. Now we ETF approval Don take place, wey never happen before and interest rate never increase yet for US, so people get enough money to invest in bitcoin.

If you are thinking of investing in Bitcoin, then you must first know about DCA. By using the DCA method you will definitely not get hurt in the future, you will rarely lose money, and if you don't use this method you will definitely be in the loser's bracket.
As long as you are hodling your bitcoin investment for a long period of time, whatever method that you use to accumulate bitcoin, either by buying at the dip, lump sum, or DCA, you will definitely make profit becaise of the compounding value of bitcoin. DCA is recommendable for all, but especially for new beginners that just started their bitcoin investment, DCA is the best for them because they can buy frequently weekly, or monthly based on their cash inflow. An old time investor that has a good significant amount of bitcoin can choose any method that he wants to use to accumulate more bitcoin to his portfolio.

So always use DCA in investing and trading it will be best for you, and you will be profitable.
DCA is useless when you apply it on trading because it for hodlers and not for traders. Traders are after short term profit, and not long term. And if you carelessly use DCA to buy and trade those bitcoin, it doesn't mean that you will not still run at loss, if you are not a professional trader. This is why no need to waste your time dcaing on what you will gamble with.

I think it's much simpler than that. Real Sociedad in general this season is not very good, looking at their statistics for the last 5 matches I think that the maximum they can count on is a draw and I doubt it. PSG are not so bad to lose to them, I think the round of 1/8 for PSG a priori passed
That doesn't mean much. Champions League is a completely different competition to the league. You could have seen it yesterday with Leipzig against Real. Leipzig have a lot of problems in the league at the moment and were still on a par with Real. If they hadn't been penalized by the referee, they would have at least drawn. The fact that the game between PSG and Real Sociedad was only a draw at half-time supports this theory.

Yes, it is understandable and absolutely true that the Champions League atmosphere is very different. Bayern Munich and PSG both drew in their respective matches, especially in the first half, but so far PSG has a 1-0 lead over Real Sociedad. The match was very balanced because both teams had their chances, but only PSG has so far been able to take advantage of these opportunities.

Bayern Munich were very dominant at the Stadio Olimpico, but were unable to score a goal. Lazio's good defense and good game scheme really made things difficult for Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich didn't even record a single shot on target. There is still time, but the two favorite teams look like they will end the match with a win.
It is 1-0 in favor of the host.
Dayot Upamecano the France international has given Lazio the victory over his club Bayern Munich. He did a rough tackle inside his own 18 yard box by stepping on the ankle of Lazio striker, which led to a red card and a penalty. Immobile took a brilliant penalty which went in the opposite side to when Bayern goalkeeper dived to. Bayern Munich is now playing with one man down, and this is like from frypan to fire, because even when Bayern team was complete, they were finding it difficult to penetrate through Lazio's defense. If Bayern is not careful Lazio might score more goals.

Staking with big amounts of money that will make you start chasing your losses because you cannot let it go is addiction. I might not have spare money to gamble, and if my friend stake for me, I don't think that it is an amount that I cannot afford to lose. This is because I wasn't even expecting it, but if I go and start collecting loans to gamble, then I am gambling with the amount that I cannot afford to lose. Addiction starts from seeing gamble as a means to make profit.
365  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Why social media influencer is a danger to our newbies on: February 14, 2024, 07:31:19 PM
Greetings my country people,

E get one thing wey I don dy observe for social media, I dy observe say all this media influencer dy now target newbies since dem no too know what's up on how tins dy go for the industry. My fellow newbies abeg make we stop to dy take advice from social media influencer because if them dy make money like dem dy preach, dem for no dy stress their self dy preach steady on social media, them go show you results of how dem make $100-$10000 on a single trade, just to entice you, newbies abeg no fall for their traps, trading no dy easy as dem paint am, if you don ever trade before, you go understand wetin I dy talk well,  you go see person wey no know anything about technical analysis go tell you how e dy make a lot of money for trading, just because you dy ignorant, try to do ur own research before you make any crypto related decisions, because e get why.
Most times those social media influences dey advertise one exchange, na e make them go come dey decieve people say trading dey very easy if you trade for that exchange wey them dey advertise, just to lure you into using the exchange. The bad thing be say, we no say make them no advertise for exchange but why na trading wey dey very hard, and need professional skill na e them dey talk on to make am look very easy to make money, and before you know am those people wey no understand anything about cryptocurrency go think say na so trading easy, and them go jump into trading to get rich quick, because of the sweet mouth wey these influencers use decieve them and show them many money say na trading give them. Whereas na just lie them dey lie. This influencers dey after their money wey them won get, and them no care about you whether you fall mugu for their sweet mouth or whether you run at loss, as long as they get paid for their job, them dey okay. So make you no dey believe anything wey you hear for social media until you don do your research. My advise as a newbie be say stay away from trading for now, and think how to buy and hidki bitcoin first.

If everybody win in trading, then who will run at loss. Trading is either you make profit or run at loss, and traders run at loss more than making profit. You can learn from expert traders and think that you have become an expert, but it is when you are in the middle of the market, that you decision decides if you will run at loss or not. You are on your own when you open a trade and that is why no one can make anyone make profit in trading because we are to do it ourselves. It is better that a trader that wants to become better in trading, should only use the amount that you can afford to lose so that you can have the market experience, and come up with your own trading strategy that will work for you.

A very professional performance from City and a well deserved victory, City controlled the game from start to finish and they were basically unlucky not to have won by more and kept a clean sheet, but they would take the 3-1 win back to the Etihad and they already have one foot in the QF of the CL.

Having said that, make no mistake that Copenhagen is a very good team, and it was not an easy win, the thing is just that City have so much quality and it is almost impossible to stop them when they are in this sort of winning mood, the rest of the teams in the CL and EPL must be worried about the menacing form of City, they are out to defend their titles.
City played impressively tonight and they showed and acted like the defending champions on the field against their host Copenhagen who also tried their best to put in a good performance so that they can stop City from achieving victory ove r them, but it was impossible because City cannot be stopped due to the high quality players that are in the club. I have automatically given City qualification to the next round, and I hope to see who City will be playing in the next round because it is clear that City wiill achieve victory in Etihad Stadium during the return leg.

As good as the Real Madrid team is currently, I don't think a team like Leipzig will be able to stop Madrid's winning streak.

Real Madrid's players have played brilliantly in every match of the group stage. Madrid won all 6 matches. Real Madrid team won by dominating both matches against Napoli. And Ancelotti is very serious in Champions League matches. He will try his best this season to win the Champions League title. My prediction is Real Madrid will win both home and away matches against Leipzig to secure their quarter final ticket.

This match shouldn’t be much trouble for Real Madrid. This is just the first half of the game and Real Madrid are owning the possession. RB Leipzig could give them a tough time but I know in the end, Real Madrid will prevail in this match. The current form of Real Madrid makes them unstoppable to be beaten by any team now and they are always in their best form while playing the champions league. They are amongst the favourites for the champions league title and they have to prove that they’re just the best in this match today by winning the game and also winning the second leg match with them too. The quarter final tickets shouldn’t be a problem to them, I am certain they will make it to the next round.
Real Madrid has taken the lead over their host four minutes after the second half stared.Brahim is a good player, as he took the ball from almost the midfield, and drive in between Leipzig players all alone, he dribbled first, second and third then with a good finish, he too a beautiful strike which went straight to the left side of the goal post into the net. It was a goalless first half but Real Madrid have proven themselves in the second half.

Leipzig 0-1 Real Madrid
369  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN BULL RUN 😱 on: February 13, 2024, 04:00:51 PM
Take it or leave it, 35k Bitcoin is still possible, I believe that this is necessary for a health bull run to take place and if from here things just keep surging then we are not going to see a healthy bull run, I am saying this not because I missed the bottom, I never did, in fact I have been buying Bitcoin since FTX crashed so I am well positioned.

The possibility bitcoin price to surge to 35k is very slim, because 50k is the highest price that we have seen so far in this circle, and if you look at it, the last price that we saw this high was 48k,before there was a correction in the price to 38k. So since bitcoin didn't touch the 35k price, we might not see it anymore. I think we might see bitcoin at 55k before there will be a correction again, and this is why it might not soar to 35k, because we are close to the halving that will trigger the next coming bull run, so I am expecting the price to move higher than dumping to 35k. Our focus now is to see when bitcoin will reach 65k, and above.
370  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: In Nigeria those right and privilege of citizenship works on: February 13, 2024, 02:41:39 PM
It is very sad to see that human right is no longer in existence for the poor people in Nigeria, but only for the rich. When you come up to speak the truth about what a rich man is doing that is bad, or the harsh treatment that the government is giving to their citizens, you can get arrested and killed for it. This has made so many poor people to live in fear and poverty because their lives are more precious to them, and the government wants everyone to accept all that they are doing by making life more difficult for the masses so that the poor will only concentrate more on surviving rather than fighting back at them. However, this is not only happening in Nigeria but in most countries, because the government always want to control the lives of their citizens so that the citizens will always be vulnerable to them.
371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 12, 2024, 09:00:24 PM
The only match of the day in Italian Serie A will be played between Juventus and Udinese. The championship race between Juventus and Inter continues but Juventus lost to Inter last week and lost a very important advantage. Also, Inter completed their missing game in the league and increased their point difference with Juventus to 7. If Juventus wants to stay in the race, they have to win this game. If they don't beat Udinese today, Inter will be the strongest favorite of everyone.
Oh dear Juventus, whats going on at the moment. They are playing against Udinese and the score is 0:1..., they probably demotivated because they lost against Inter Milan and now dont see much chance of winning the championship. There are still 45 minutes to play, lets see what happens. AC Milan could overtake them on the next matchday, they are only 1 point behind Juventus. But Juventus will probably score another goal today, they have a much better chance.
Juventus need to try their best to make sure that they win this match if not, it will reduce their chances of being on the title race with Inter. A beautiful free kick gave Udinese the only goal currently in this match. Udinese defense is very tight, and Juventus is finding it hard to oenetrate through their defense. Will Udinese be able to lock the defense for the rest minutes of the game, is what keeps me wondering.
372  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What about the lost BTC? on: February 12, 2024, 04:38:50 PM
I was reading about some cases of people who had many BTC at a time when it has low or no value at all, and didn't care about it, so they eventually lost their security phrases, or hard wallets and now it is lost probably forever.

I've read that the amount that is considered lost can be up to 5 million BTC. That is about 1/4 of the total amount available.

Knowing that BTC has a limit, and we're getting there soon, isn't it possible to have some compensation for those lost BTC?

Something like adding more BTC in an equivalent amount for those lost BTC, or something similar.

Would it be positive for the currency or could bring some caos?


No bitcoin is lost, the bitcoin are only locked up in the users wallet address in the blockchain, and if the users can have their private keys to those wallets, the bitcoin will be unlock with the private keys. However, those bitcoin cannot be replaced because they are not missing but the owners still have them locked up in the blochain, and it will be useless to compensate them because who will give out his own bitcoin to them. 21million bitcoin cannot be added to or reduced from. This is why we need to secure our seed phrase and have back ups, so that we will have access to them anytime we want.

Tactically Nigeria's are good in defense and attack,  on the central midfield they don't really have much display there, I know they will be capitalizing on their hitman Victor osimhen to some magic upfront.
Nigeria will win this the match. My head tells me that the officiating team may try to be biased against the super eagles but we will emerge victorious. We are going to have just one hero that will save the day, but it will be team work. For the Ivorians, I know that they are damn scared and they are right. The outcome of the match metaphorically speaking may decide how things go for our dearest country. I wish the boys well. My hope is that the boys who shined in the tournament will find better clubs out there to horn their skills and be the best they can be.
Nigeria Super Eagle captain Ekong has opened the score line with an excellent header after he received a cross on the 35the minutes of the game. Ivory Coast has been playing and winning possession of the game in dominance. They even lost good opportunities that Nwabali deprived one of their ball from entering the goal post. Nigeria are not playing too serious in this match, but they are playing with experience, which has brought a goal for them. Ivory Coast is always finding it difficult to score goals. I will say that they are not the lucky type. The match is in favor of Nigeria has 1-0

SIX goals!!! in 65 minutes for Arsenal away at West Ham's London stadium. West Ham are known as "the hammers"  but today, they are the one getting hammered. The Home team, West Ham hasn't managed a shot on target in 65 mins while conceding 6 in 65. Saka gets 2, Trousard, Gabriel Magalhães, Rice and Saliba get one each.
This is the worst defeat so far this season, and West Ham could not score a consolidation goal. Arsenal took advantage of West Ham weakness to shoot six bullets straight into West Ham post with no mercy. West Ham should not allow this defeat affect their performance in their next match, but they should see it as a challenge and work hard on themselves for better improvement. Arsenal are now aggressive towards the title race, and they want to make sure that they keep track, so that when the opportunity comes for them to take over the first position, there will be no hindrance.

Liverpool have just scored their first goal on the 30th minutes of the match against their visitors Burnley. Diogo Jota scored with a beautiful header after a corner kick cross. This is the 99th goal that Jota has scored in English premiership. Liverpool not happy with their last lost against Arsenal last weekend, and they are using that aggressiveness to play their visitors. Liverpool need to win this match and we might see more goals before the end of the first half.

Liverpool 1-0 Burnley.

Manchester City managed to win at Everton's home ground, Manchester City should also be able to win because they will play at the Etihad Stadium. Moreover, Manchester City performance is currently difficult to control. So, playing at home against a team that is without a win in the last six matches in the Premier League, Manchester City is certainly the favorite to get three points to record ten consecutive wins and at the same time lead them to the top of the standings.

Manchester City and Everton have not yet scored a goal at the Etihad Stadium, but Manchester City dominated the game until about 3 minutes remaining in the first half as I wrote this.
In the first half Manchester City should have scored a goal, but until entering the extra minute (3 minutes) Everton managed to hold on to a draw. This may be because Kevin De Bruyne has not been played by Pep.

In the second half, if Pep brings on Kevin De Bruyne, in my opinion there will be a chance to win because De Bruyne's role in creating opportunities is beyond doubt.
For Manchester City, 3 points are very crucial to get in this match.

Half time. 0-0
It was a boring first half, and I didn't expect that Manchester city would find it difficult of finding the back of the net. I was expecting much from the host but it seems that the absent of De Bruyne in the first half was a big problem for his team mate. It wouldn't be wise if City settle for a draw in this match. However, I believe that they will play better than what they did in the first half and Everton might find it difficult to be able to hold them down for a draw till 90 minutes. I expect goals from Manchester city in the second half, if they really want to take the lead from Liverpool.

I do take a break when I have lost a lot, and the passion to gamble is still there. I will caution myself or else I will regret it that I didn't just stop. Also when I have an important project that I am on, I take a break to make me stay more focus on that project, because it might need more money than I expected. When you can no longer control your gambling activities, taking a break will be the best solution in such case. We all have our different reason why we go on break.

Both Pochettino and Todd Boehly are the worst in the history of Chelsea management, so I will not blame Pochettino as a whole because since Chelsea was initially held by Todd Boehly, this club lost its existence. Plus the decision to bring Pochettino added to the chaos. You know that Chelsea has implemented many player policies which in my opinion, starting from sales and purchases, are unreasonable. Todd Boehly only knows about money but not what it means to own the Blues. For this reason I hope Chelsea  fans enjoy these difficult times because no matter what, Chelsea season in the Premier League is over unless Todd Boehly and Pochettino leave.

I agree with what you said. Pochettino and Todd Boehly have been a really bad combination for Chelsea this season. In fact I think in the last few seasons Chelsea have really made a lot of silly mistakes. They spent a lot of money to buy players who turned out to be just low class players. I don't understand how these agents can cheat the Chelsea management to make a profit from some of those low class players. I think apart from the coaching factor, Chelsea has really made a loss in buying players. That's worse than a team with limited finances getting players within their budget.


As a result of these mistakes, Chelsea can no longer play at the top of the league. Moreover, they cannot get sufficient performance from the players for whom they pay high transfer fees. As a result, if they do not comply with the financial rules, they cannot transfer players. If such a situation happens, they will not be able to easily regain their old form in the Premier League.
Todd does not understand football investment, if not he would have known the right decisions to make that will revive the club. Does he listen to advise or not, because the club is fallen apart due to poor performance and he does not care. Spending so much on low quality players shows that he does not understands who is a high quality player that can do the job for Chelsea. He should get a professional football manager to manage the club and get high class quality players for Chelsea, so that they can pick form and start winning games just like before. Or do you think this will be the downfall of Chelsea, I guess not.

It is expected that you have a price target in which if bitcoin reaches that price, you can sell those fraction of coins that you intend to sell. If you want to wait for the top price of bitcoin which is unpredictable, you might miss out, because we are expecting to see bitcoin hits a new ATH. Some investors will be carried away by anxiety, and they will not sell because of greed, they will be waiting for more higher price, and before they know it, the bear market will play out, and they panic and sell in loss.
