OP I don't think you understand what bull run means because basically we just entered the halving event and a slight dip is expected before the pumping (bull) will begin so if you think you can't afford to buy Bitcoin now then you may actually not be able to buy again till after the bull run so since the bull run is not yet come, it is an opportunity to still buy at any price except you are aiming a short term profit.

Chelsea played very well in the first half and they maintained a goalless result but I don't think they can maintain till full time because Manchester city is also putting some pressure and if they have any chance of scoring goals now they will utilize it very well. Jackson had a chance to score for Chelsea but he wasted the opportunity which is very inexperience of the player, in a match like this the best way to conquer defeat is to utilize any opportunity and score early goals.

No one expected Liverpool to be out of the Europa league competition at this level Because they performed very well right from the group till the round of sixteen, the only mistake they made was losing 3:0 to Atalanta at Anfield in their first leg, that lost caused a lot for Liverpool because they actually needs to win with 3:0 or more than before they would have qualified for the semi finals and they finds it difficult as it only takes a determined and lucky team to perform such magic of winning by that goal margin in the returning leg so obviously, Liverpool created the problem for themselves.
The premier league is very tight right now between the three top teams and Manchester city may likely not give up in the title race, Liverpool was overrated in the Europa league and that led to their downfall. This has always been the problem with Liverpool and Arsenal, they will start so well but gives up easily towards the end of the league.

Manchester city will surely use this F.A cup semi final match against Chelsea to correct their mistakes in the Champions league because they are still in disbelief that they are out of the champions league so this is an opportunity for them to own a trophy this season while waiting for the outcome of the EPL because despite that Manchester city is topping the league, they are not too comfortable with the gap because any mistakes from now may give either Arsenal or Liverpool the advantage to bounce back to the table so hopefully, they will win Chelsea in order to get to the finals. Every one is praising Chelsea simply because they won Everton with 6:0 on Monday but they can't really withstand Manchester city.

Lukaku is a nice player but the only problem this player has is lack of stamina if not he is a productive player. We shouldn't forget the impact he made while on loan at Inter Milan, it was only while playing for Roma that I didn't see much of his contribution to his team. I think he has been on loan for 2 seasons now. He should be more focused as he is returning back to Chelsea and try to make some improvements for his team because Chelsea is in an unstable state now, "it will be bad to add salt to injury" ( making a worst situation get more worst ) so he should try and make a difference this time.

You are right about Nigeria having talented and well gifted individuals in production but just as I usually say that no matter what we produce here, you can't match it up with international standards and that is basically because our government do not create an enabling environment for her citizen to showcase their talents and skills, so that they can possibly sponsor them to acquire more knowledge that will bring out the best that can match up with international standards. What I observed is that few of us that went abroad to get more knowledge on production, after being certified, the foreign countries usually hire them to work for them and considering the current state of our country and it's economy, no one will decline such an offer so these are the part of the many reasons why our economy is not growing and to me, it's all as a result of the selfish interests of our political leaders.

That is just it, because it is easily said than done. I know that the closure of the border was also a way we can cherish our locally made products but let us not forget that we have not yet met international standards of producing things of good quality therefore opening of the border is necessary so that individuals can get access to quality products abroad pending when our government will be ready to meet up international standards.

Closing of the border is baseless since we are still facing inflation even though we are still dealing with locally made products. The growth of our economy should be the priority of the government as a nation that is experiencing low economic growth can lead to debt crisis just like we are experiencing now because the country is already owning a lot of money and involving in too many debts will instead take us backwards and with don't want such scenario.

It is really a privilege to witness this halving and it is an opportunity to be among hodlers to experience this season's halving. Hodling for sure is the key to wealth creation and am glad to be a hodler, let the game begin!

Historical data of the halving event

OP just like you are making this post and laughing, that is same way I'm laughing as well like what the f*ck is this? 15% on winnings? I won't even play to win again self let me see how they will get the 15%. For betting companies, paying taxes is important because they basically makes a lot of money from gamblers but for bettors I think it's just so funny.

Summary of the story: the government wants to be our partner only in gains, but in losses, we alone are forced to bear the financial losses. Very convenient, right?

Normally, government taking taxes doesn't really implies that they are doing so only when the individual or organization is making profits so far as they are running such business in the country they are to pay taxes, the area am only frowning at them is taking taxes from bettors winnings like it is very ridiculous i must say.

Already, Xabi Alonso has made his name known in the history of football and if he succeeds in this unbeaten run till after this season, a lot of coaches may want to know the tactics he applied to become successful to such extent because he will be among coaches that managed a team for a whole season without losing and it will be a very great achievement for him. What makes a team outstanding is having a good relationship between the Coach and the players and we can see how Bayern Leverkusen players are always happy with their coach that is why they put so much efforts in winning matches.

As for Zinedine Zidane, it is not certain if he will continue with his coaching career because from the way he speaks, it looks like he have got some commitments and things to achieve outside football so it is his decision to take.

This is pure addiction and where most gamblers fails is having this mentality of playing more in other to recover previous losses, this mentality have led to so many gamblers losing even more than they would have lost if they stopped chasing losses.
Severally we have discussed on the effect of taking a loan to gamble because if you lose you will be faced with the trauma of your loss and the outstanding debts I have gotten yourself into , it can even make someone go crazy especially when your loan is due.

People who are not gamblers do get In some peer-to-peer bets on a norm but it doesn't mean that they have been practicing gambling activities before because people normally make bets among themselves despite that the betting goes with a stake of money but it doesn't mean they have formed it as a habit of always making bets with money. During arguments about something, friends do make bets but it is not enough to classify them as people who are into gambling although there are people that making peer to peer bets makes them become addicted as they hardly makes arguments without wanting a stake to it, I have seen some persons that are like that.

About Burnley versus Sheffield United game, since the both teams are in the relegation positions it will be difficult to predict which among them that will win but looking at the display of the two teams,  Burnley is more likely to win Sheffield United because they have a good attack just that their defense is not organized that is why they concede too many goals although it is almost the same with Sheffield United but Burnley is more forceful than Sheffield United. The both teams are in a very bad form so they may end in a draw

It would have been bad if a Spanish team did not move to the next stages because about 5 teams from the Spanish la Liga came for this champions league season which was the highest, as other countries came within four teams and below.
Real Madrid is a good team and despite that they won City, they knew they played against one of the champions that was why they were so happy after they won on penalties. It was just unlucky that Manchester city was drawn together with a strong opponent as Real Madrid, had it been it was a different team, Manchester city could have reached the finals but nevertheless, They played a matured and entertaining football.

I guess we all are excited as well, and we look forward to what the halving have got in stock for Bitcoin investors. Basically, the halving will bring good tidying because it happens every four years. From previous analysis about the halving, it has shown improvement in each halving and we can't wait to see what this halving have to offer while it last as we patiently wait for the bull run to begin after this event.

Going directly to your question, the merit system cuts across the whole board as there were no exemption of any board for merit but just that discussions in some boards may not be to a standard of earning merits. There is no partiality in merit circulation because most merit sources focuses most of their interests in technical and informative boards.

Giving answers to questions doesn't necessarily mean you would be awarded for the knowledge you have given out to that topic because there are some threads that requires a direct question and you will see a lot of users saying almost same thing. Does it mean that they should all be awarded merits because they all got the answers right? Obviously not.

When talking about the trading board not getting enough merit, there are also other boards that get few or no merit so I assume it is just lack of quality discussions in those sections.

Budgeting is very good in the management of the resources or income of any individual in life because when you have a budget, it helps you to make proper and judicious use of your income instead of spending them on frivolous things that are not included in your budget. Budgeting is very good as you will live and work according to your budget but it is also good to make reserved budgets should in a case of any thing important that may arise outside your budget in the future.

Budgeting helps to cut one's expenses and makes you to be able to achieve certain things that are included in your budget and makes you to be more focused and determined to make sure that everything within your budget is well taken care of.

Abortion generally is a bad practice by our women of which it poses some health risk and life threatening conditions for those who take path in abortion because contraceptives drugs damages the womb and also reduces the fertility rate of a woman so it is dangerous to do abortions. If people more especially couples are not ready to have children, they should make sure they use the basic methods that will make the woman not to conceive.

Then couples should also learn birth control by applying the various birth control methods so that they will not find themselves in a situation that will require abortion. Abortion should be discouraged entirely because I believe if our parents got involved in too many abortion just like people do now, a lot of us wouldn't have been Born so let it be that fertilizing the eggs of the woman should be in agreement between the two parties involved in sexual intercourse

I am yet to comprehend what you said about your friend because is it that the amount he earns is no longer enough to Carter for his daily expenses? If his salary is lower than it was 5 years ago that should imply that the cost of living has reduced as well because I don't see any reason why a government, individual or organization will reduce the salary of it's worker even when the cost of earning a living is very difficult in such a country. Maybe you should have given a proper and more comprehensive information about what you said.

Global economy is meant to decline and also increase some times as that is what keeps the world economy in a balanced state so you don't expect the world economy to keep flourishing without recording recession, because normally, when a country experiences recession it makes  such a country to realize that the economic team are not doing enough to stabilize their economy so it also gives room for more economic awareness on how to manage a country's resources judiciously.

One thing I find out about the reason why some people fails in their investments is fear and lack of proper knowledge on how to apply the right concept in order to achieve a favourable result. Knowledge is power but until you get the right knowledge and apply it right, then your knowledge may not give you that power you desire. A lot of times, investors always feels that the market is all about luck, for sure luck is included but how can you be lucky when you don't apply the right investments practices that will enhance your knowledge about the right approach to manage your investments.

Most successful investors today didn't just jump out from no where and became successful but it took them time, resources, money and they developed quality time to gain the right knowledge and also applied the basic investment strategy before they were able to become genius. Success cannot be achieved on a bed of rose but your determination to succeed will acquaint you with the right knowledge to be applied in other to have successful path.
