381  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Are newbies afraid to comment on threads of highly ranked members? on: January 24, 2024, 04:43:31 PM

I want to give my opinion on some threads when I read threads of senior, legendary, or ranked , but being a newbie, I am afraid to join discussions with seniors, (legendary) members. The scary thing is (though it may be completely wrong to think), I think, can tell me, how a newbie engages in discussions with seniors, wants to give advice, what I know and how little I know. Also, I have a small number of threads that have no merit (that's my main fear). I even stopped commenting on some posts, thinking I might be wrong in my knowledge, even though I was right.

I know this thread will seem like nonsense to many but I took a lot of courage, and now I want to know if it's just my mistake or if it happens to many freshmen. But I have seen many newbies join the threads of senior, legendary or ranked members, but I hold back for fear of lack of courage. I can't move it at all.

If this is not the case for many in new situations, and if this fear applies to me, how do I overcome it?

It's called Wallet Guard, this extension is opensource, which is a good thing for me, and it's job is to protect metamask users from scams and wallet drivers before they interact with your wallet, the good thing is it's completely free and crypto companies are backing them, and this includes Metamask devs too.

This Wallet Guard stops phisihing attempts before you even connect your wallet.

It protects against the following

1. Phishing attempts.
2. Wallet draining.
3. Fake websites.

Their original/official website is walletguard.app
To be honest, I am just hearing about this wallet guide for the first time, but according to the statements you made about it, it will be protective.
Is it only for PCs?
if yes, how about people connecting their MetaMask wallets on mobile phone? can we also use it?

Quote
Some extra advice.

1. If you want to buy something in crypto space, avoid Twitter at all cost, do not go through Twitter when you are looking into new projects you want to take some risks on.

2. The careful about what you are signing, be on alert and focus on what a signature is telling you when you are trying to buy something with your metamask.

Coin gecko and coinmarkecap is the best places I recommend if you are looking for the right links and official source of any crypto project.
The best thing is to avoid shitcoins, and if you want to invest in them you need to be very careful because Twitter handle will be one of the main things to consider even though it has also been used by scammers to scam people that are new to cryptocurrency.

Coingeko is a good app and a tool to do good research about any project you are willing to invest in because Coingeko give almost all the necessary information needed about project, their team, exchanges and the project origin.

 

384  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin has never pass ATH before halving but it has always dip don't panic. on: January 24, 2024, 11:51:29 AM
Only people that think we are fully into bull run and think that the price will keep pumping without correction are the ones panicking to sell because they are into bitcoin investment for quick money and to go for long term investment. If they sell at lost, they are not part of the people that will enjoy long term investment profit.

No panic from me - even if Bitcoin falls down to $35k.

I havent bought any yet in this mini crash but will do once it falls below $40k.

We are only 3 months from halving , good times are coming.

Yes, there is no reason to panic even if the price of bitcoin drop below $30k because some people are hoping to buy more.

It will be a good one if you start investing from now because there is no guarantee that the price will drop to your expectation; DCA method will be a good one even if you don't have enough money to invest once.

I don't think the injury Salah is suffering right now is a serious one. I hope to see him recovering in a short time however I assume he wouldn't return from AFCON early as long as Egypt aren't eliminated. No matter what he can still be back until their Europa League matchup is decided. In the end Liverpool finished their group as the leader so they won't play in the current round.
Egypt qualified to the knockout stage of the AFCON Competition, they played their last match without Mohammad Sallah and they did not lose the match which means they can cope without him even though we know that the team will not be as strong as it used to be because they have no hope on his return before the end of the tournament.

Quote
But if Salah's injury is a really serious one unlike my expectation then a really tough time period is waiting for Liverpool in every tournament they are playing in. Because Salah is really the most important player in the attacking line at the moment.  Sad
His absence will affect Liverpool in different ways which include their Europ League title hope and the Premier League because he is one of the key players in the team they all relied on.
386  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: January 23, 2024, 09:25:30 PM
The Super Eagles are playing average football but they are getting the results. They have not given us the confidence that they can go all the way to winning the title. So far, only a handful of the players have impressed me. The other players have not displayed the skill and stamina needed to play African football. Victor Osimhen gets chances and he throws them away, the Osimhen at Napoli would have scored those goals yesterday but the Osimhen at the AFCON is shooting wide. I think it’s time for José Peseiro to trust his other strikers.
We need to appreciate their effort and performance because it was not easy for them as well.
I agree with you that they had average performance so far, but lets hope they improve as we advance into the next stage of the competition. Equatorial Guinea was the best team in that group because there were able to eliminate the host county Ivory Coast with a classic performance because only the Super Eahles were able to take a point against them.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria will be playing against Cameroon in the round of 16; The manager need to make all the necessary arrangements and preparations for that match, we need a better performance in all the remaining stages of the competq.
387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 23, 2024, 09:19:22 PM
It is indeed very interesting to discuss goalkeeper Onana. He plays for Man United now and he thinks he's great, but he's not. This was seen when he made the unreasonable decision to play 2 matches for United before flying to Afcon. If Ten Hag was not Man United's coach, that person would never be able to play for Man United. He's not good enough. The arrogance of someone who hasn't won anything and can't play football is astonishing. The Cameroon coach is aware that benching Onana is a good choice. I also wonder if after the AFCON cup is over and his return to Man United, Onana will again be Erik Ten's first choice. This is an interesting wait for Man United fans. Cheesy
Ten Hag believe in him, that was why he signed him in the first place. If Ten Hag remain the head coach of Manchester United, then Onana will remain his first choice keeper because he signed him from Inter because he knew how good he was while playing under his management at Ajax, therefore he will not bench him unless the management of Manchester United demanded him to do so.
Leaving his international duty to stay back and play for Manchester United is something that will keep his relationship with Ten Hag strong, and that is probably the main reason the Cameroonian head coach Rigobert Song benched him to show him that they have other competent players to replace him, which to me is a good decision from the management. And they are very lucky to qualify ahead Guinea with goal difference.

Jurgen  Klopp is the only opponent capable of stopping Pep Guardiola this season, denial of the EPL on the citizens side won't be easy. Pep Guardiola have been prominent and working extremely hard to elevate the team's performance, they're weigh bigger and accomplished major titles in the past. They are still the best team in the world of football, because it's not an easy job watching Manchester top flight performance, they're completely balance and have to be on the top run. Manchester City are the reigning EPL and UCL champion's, putting them infront of other opponents.
Is not too early to count Arsenal out of the title challenge?
I think Arteta is still an opponent that is capable of stopping both Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, he is a good manager that can make things work for Arsenal after their last three matches lost before their league resumption match against Crystal Palace. They are back with confidence, and if they can have consistency, they will defiantly make it to the top of the league.


A lot of people will say Liverpool will definitely win and that's what everyone will think cause the last time Arsenal and Liverpool played their previous match Liverpool won but Arsenal dominated, seeing the performance of Arsenal against crystal palace shows Arsenal are fully ready but do they have what it takes to beat Liverpool, I can't predict the future of this match for now. I don't think Liverpool will want to leave the top and they'll do everything in their power to win and Arsenal at the other hand will fight to gain more point so this match will be very tough and interesting to watch.
If Arsenal can win their matches against Liverpool, Manchester City/United, and Chelsea, they will be able to win the league.

Guinea-Bissau vs Nigeria Match. See how Nigeria disgrace themselves in the field, Nigeria could not score one goal in this match. They won the match with Home Goal and look the Equatorial Guinea won the host of the tournament Ivory Coast hand down without complain with clean goals. Nigeria was struggling to win. If Nigeria play like this in their knockout stage then I doubt they can scale through because those remaining teams are not struggling like the Super Eagles but playing well teams.

Therefore Nigeria cannot survive in the knockout stage in the tournament. I was expecting Nigeria to win 5 - 0 but one goal they didn't score.
Nigerian Super Eagle team did not perform to our expectation, but the important thing was done which is winning the match by all means.

The surprising match is the match between Ivory Coast vs Equatorial Guinea; I am expecting the host country to win the match, but they were trashed despite all the chances they created in the game. The Ivorian team have good attacking line even though they lose chances, but the team's main problem is defense. The wingers and the midfielders will try everything possible to create chances, while their defenders will be causing the team unnecessary goals.

Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria has qualified to the knockout stage in group A.

With the current rate of inflation in our individual countries, many people see it that there is a better future in investing and holding Bitcoin for a long period of time. Many see it as a breakthrough out of poverty while some see it as a way of storing value. However, in as much as we love comfortability, convenience in our daily lives there are individuals who will rather choose to forgo short term pleasure like luxury purchases, expensive outings, Unfurnished apartments all for the sake of acquiring a lot of Bitcoin in their portfolio. They are determined and dedicated to believe in the long term benefit of Bitcoin while making personal sacrifices to secure their future.
Irrespective how you see it or analyze it, we all need comfortability and conveniency in our daily lives which is probably the reason most of us hold our bitcoin for long so that our savings and assets will keep its value and we will get profit holding bitcoin. If we spend our earning or luxury lifestyle, we will not save anything and we might be affected in the future because change is constant and our sources of income might be narrowed, at that time the only option is to enjoy your savings.

You can enjoy your money by buying expensive things and luxury lifestyle, while still investing some of your money on bitcoin.

I see many business companies in the world are currently accepting Bitcoin or cryptocurrency as payment. We all know that cryptocurrency is associated with high volatilities, now I have a curious mind, how do they cover up by accepting these high volatility coins?
Do they all use the gateway to exchange those for stable coins or do they hold that?
Some of these business owners are bitcoin investors who are willing to hold more bitcoin in their wallets, which is why they are unconcerned about volatility because most of them have a target to meet, most likely through their DCA method of buying, and once they meet their target, they either stop for a period of time; or they make bitcoin payment optional and use their money to run the business while still holding bitcoin. Some people simply follow trends without understanding the risks involved, which is why some fail along their way.
Some of them use their personal bitcoin wallets to receive the funds and keep running their business.

However, I've read what Warren Buffet (an American businessman and philanthropist, widely considered the most successful investor of the 20th century) thinks about short-term investing, which is quite negative.
By the way, he also thinks BTC has no intrinsic value and cryptocurrency is just gambling.

Everybody is subjected to their own opinion, and everybody have their say on what they feel about bitcoin which will surely not be everybody's point of view.
If Warren Buffet consider BTC as something with no intrinsic value or he consider cryptocurrency as gambling, he is saying his mind on what he feels about bitcoin and cryptocurrency and not what general public thinks about bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
If you did not know anything about bitcoin, try and learn and ask questions here, by doing that, you can analyze what he said by yourself to know if he is saying the truth or just his opinion based on selfish interest.

Hello senior citizens and my fellow newbies gambler's, now I gat a straight forward question for you all.
How do I prepare myself for my first gambling experience?
What are the things I should expect as a first time gambler?
How do we react to my first gambling results be it winning or lose?
Thank you all for your helpful opinions.
I believe you know the rules of gambling and you are 18 years and above, by now you should have known that there is no refund in gambling.
Make sure you use a reputable gambling platform that cannot scam you in case you win big money.
Make sure you invest the money you can afford to lose.
Avoid being greedy and take the little profit you have.

Some players are just stepping up at this moment. Arsenal needs to continue this trend or it will be out from title race. There will be a very strict competition against city and liverpool.
Winning a lot, maybe Arsenal are back to their best. Although the opponent is not heavy enough, at least they are able to answer the doubts of the supporters. Maybe their new mentality will be tested when they compete against Liverpool in February. The next schedule against Nottingham Forest does not seem to be a big problem. They should also be able to win more than 2 goals.  The position of EPL champion is still open Arsenal still have the same chance as City, and Liverpool.There are still many matches and Arsenal must work hard to win in every match.
Arsenal appears to have fully recovered from their performance yesterday, as they played well to demonstrate to their fans that they are back and ready to address the mistakes they made in their previous three games. Arsenal is still among the title contenders this season; they need to have some consistency and winning streak in order to maintain this title challenge; they need to beat Liverpool just as they beat Manchester City in the first leg so that their points difference will be reduced; and if they were able to defeat Manchester City and Liverpool in the second leg, they might win the league unless injuries affect them like last season.

I want to see how Paris Saint Germain do in the Champions League this season, they are in the round of 16 and will face Real Sociedad who are not favored over them. But given Paris Saint Germain's inconsistent form in the Champions League, it raises my doubts about them.
Maybe they will be able to win the match in this round and go to the next round, but in the next round I am not sure about them, because in the next round their opponents will be much improved from this round of 16.
Real Sociedad had a very wonderful performance in the group stage, they were able to top group D ahead of Inter Milan with goal difference because they have the same points, I am sure they will maintain their standard performance in the Champions League by giving their best to defeat PSG so as to progress to the next round of the competition even though their Laliga performance is not convincing enough to give them to full confidence of winning PSG, but I think they will try.


Quote
Their main target every season is to win the Champions League title, but that is not matched by the promising game they can show. It is impossible for them to rely on luck alone, because luck also needs something that can make the luck come, in this case a better game.
PSG's main aim has always been winning the Champions League, but they look desperate which is the main reason why they are always failing because of how often they do change coaches and players in my opinion. This season, they don't have quality players that can compete for Champions League, therefore, I don't think they will win the Champions League this season.

The surge in meme coins has been wild, right? It's crazy how these coins like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and SafeMoon have gained so much attention and popularity. People are jumping on the meme coin bandwagon, hoping to catch the next big wave. But it's also important to be cautious and do your research before investing in these coins. The market can be quite volatile, and meme coins can be particularly risky. What are your thoughts on this whole meme coin frenzy?
To get involved in the first bull of meme coins is by luck and by determination which involves trust. Some people are doing extensive research about each project before they invest in it, while some people wait till the time the project start gaining recognition before they invest in it.
Meme coin surge usually cause FOMO among newbies, once they miss out in any of them, they will go ahead and invest in any coin they told them is a meme coin even if the coin did not have potential, as a result they fall victim of people that will lose their money to anyhow project.

It is always good to know how to do good research about any project you are investing in especially in this period of time where many people are coming up with coins just to be among developers even is the coin did not have potential.
398  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: January 19, 2024, 01:36:09 PM

Every team has a different way of building their team and indeed PSG chose the wrong path because they didn't want to go through the process and rely on the power of money they have to buy star players and hope they will achieve achievements on the European stage, that's the wrong thing and Even Mancheter City used to be like that before they finally went through such a long process that it was only last season that they managed to become CUL champions.
Likewise with PSG at the moment, especially because in the French League there are no fierce competitors so PSG cannot measure its strength.
PSG's way of building team is good considering the high quality of players they are signing in their team, the only problem they are having is the coach; they are yet to have a qualified coach that will lead them to the Champions League victory the way Manchester City signed Guardiola and they are successful.
I think PSG need to stop relying on one man (Mbappe) because if he leaves the team, they will struggle to adapt and they will lose plenty matches in that process.

Manchester City not get difficult opponent team on 16 phase round but its not guarantee they will have easily opponent on quarter final until semifinal phase, no doubt with Manchester City opportunity will easily qualify to quarter final but if face with top teams such as Bayern Munich or Real Madrid I don't sure with The Citizen for defending their Champion League tittle for this season. Have good news after De Bruyne recovering from injury but still have problem with Erling Haaland has possibility to recovery before first leg match against Copenhagen three weeks later or not.
Man City have easy opponent in the knockout stage, but that doesn't mean they must qualify because Copenhagen is not a team to be underrated considering their group stage performance.


Quote
Erling Haaland is most important part for Manchester City and has small opportunity without him will get highest phase in this season, if can't recovery as soon possible I doubt with their opportunity will lead until final round for this season or not.
Haaland is not the most important player in Manchester City's team, he also contributes to the team's success in the last Champions League victory; If the team have him, it will be an added advantage but without him, they will still play well since De Bruyne is back from Injury.

Im pretty sure that PSG will buy "star" players if they failed again this year (UCL).
PSG has offered a crazy contract 3 times bigger than Madrid bid to Mbappe, the club financial must be healthy.
This year might be not the year for PSG, but next year will be different.
For PSG aspect in the Champions League, I don't think they have any best season to win the Champions Leage more than last two seasons, but they failed, therefore, I don't think they will even go far this season. They have the chance of qualifying every season, but they couldn't win any one even though the team managements have tried so many coaches and players from different clubs.

Last season Real Madrid and Bayern Munich won most of their matches in the UEFA Champions League, and Bayern Munich even knocked out PSG, but when Bayern Munich and Real Madrid played Manchester City they couldn't perform well.
Playing match with Manchester City is not always easy because of the coach. Pep has various tactics that can be used to play different teams, and because of him being an experience manager, beating his team is always hard; that is why Bayern Mnich and Real Madrid find it difficult to bit them.

Hello everyone, I'm new to cryptocurrency and I was able to earn 8,000$ in btc, and I keep all the money on binance, but I heard that binance blocks accounts. Please advise me of a reliable crypto wallet to store this money, who can recommend a really good wallet, I can transfer you 200$. Please write to my telegram @leaneek
Not just Binance, all centralized exchanges are not reliable to such huge amount of money because you are not in control of your bitcoin if you hold it there "not your keys, not your coins".

You can use Electrum wallet or blue wallet to hold your bitcoin.

You are not supposed to share any of your identity here, and you don't have to pay for any recommendation.

Avoid revealing your private key with anyone in your PM because if anyone have your private key, they can move anything out of your wallet without your consent.
