Leadership in African nations has become an opportunist thing, where the opportune individual doesn't even have to merit it or have Leadership qualities to aspire for a position of honour. Lots of godfatherism in the system and as such, a bad trend is left to continue as you must follow the works of your predecessors in most cases. It  becomes really annoying to see these shots happen and funny enough, stopping it almost seems so impossible. You se the same people you  read about in your elementary school days still ruling the nation either directly or indirectly and your left to ask yourself, are there no room for new generations and ne w breeds of leaders?
There is a serious need for a change else, the suffering of the people is sure to continue.

It's really funny to watch people talk about BTC and other cryptocurrencies  bringing them financial freedom, ease of payments, mass adoption blah blah and at the same time the very same people freak out when they have to (or asked to) make a payment in crypto. Especially payments for overseas transactions.
There is a big difference between being cautious and being foolish. Trust me, its better to be cautious than be foolish. Its not only about the lost funds, it goes the far length of you being depressed to have been scammed! For this reason, many become weary and its very advisable to be weary, its better than being sorry.

Paying for an over sea transaction isn't an issue but then, trusting the person to whom you are to transact with is where the issue comes. Once the person or company your transacting with is sure to deliver, I doubt its ever a problem to make payments on such transactions.

Once there is doubt, transacting becomes difficult.
3983  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why financial exclusion is the true power of Bitcoin on: May 06, 2021, 04:58:13 PM
Bitcoin is freedom. This is the benefit it was created to have over the regular fiat. To be able to operate on its own and keep its regulations in the hands of those that truly belive and appreciate it for what it is and stands for. Being on a decentralized network is what makes all this possible and explains why most crypto if not all crypto users would prefer a decentralized system to a centranetwork of systems.

Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies on the other hand has some up and down times in the bull and bear markets respectively.  Whee the value though your coin might stay stable, it value might not and to those that don't understand, you might feel cheated or get confused on what happened but, thats just the price action. So, there could actually be changes in value other than coin balance or quantity.

China has been the center for upcoming technology as they look to develop and make improvements on every technological break through. The idea of the digital Yuan came up as to the Chinese government inability to accurately or completely tackle the activity of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies amongst its citizens and its used in the Chinese territory. Hence, the digital Yuan was invented as a direct combative force for cryptos but it comes with a limitation and for this, I feel it won't completely serve as a cryptocurrency. This is because, it is nation bound. Its somehow tagged to China and as such, the universality of the currency is questionable. It might boom within China but, around the world, not so much.

Covid-19 on a generally scale wasn't so helpful if we look at it, the world suffered on a large scale. From health to economy, mood of living, entertainment and even food choice. It wasn't an easy one and still, the world is yet to recover fully from the many hardship it brought but then, it also thought the wise who cared to learn a few lessons. It opened people's eyes to viewing opportunities in the face of disaster. People picked up traded with the season, appropriation of needs and wants also, to seek opportunity from the comfort of your home. It also opened the government up and people knew as to how much they are being extorted and more.

Scammers are dumb but the victims are the more dumb. It surprises me at times the kind of scam schemes some crypyo 7sers have been known to fall for. Not like you must be all experienced on most of the scam techniques but, being consciously aware of the fact that your private details should stay private and the best firm of trading is when your doing your trading by yourself,  the more safe you would be.

On the part of the errors, auto correct could be a jerk at times and put in the wrong suggestion  but then, it becomes a sign of a rushed website or platform and should an investor be diligent enough to spot out these little errors, it could save you some investment loses.

Yeah, i can recall awhole ago, bitcoin was one of the icons on the Southampton Jersey and had booking reservations in the Saint Mary's Stadium for the best views from a vip spot of the entire game. It was and is still an awesome development.  I'm sure it brought some promotion to bitcoin and in time when the value of bitcoin becomes more and more accepted by the world, the next big 8nvestorss would be the football clubs and the footballers themselves. They are sure to come into the market huge and we would experience another boom that would create another all time high because, its on the way.
3991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: May 05, 2021, 10:33:45 PM
Chelsea is beginning to look ill fated, seriously! What are they even doing. Theyve missed far too many chances these second half. Making T. Courteous feel good about himself.  2 good chances that they could have loobed the ball just over the goal keeper or better still, roof the ball with an angled shot instead, its a direct shot to the goal keepers leg.
These are chances that if Real Madrid gets even once, its sure to be in the post. Although, Mendy has been great this evening. Chelsea needs more goals to be at the safe zone. Should Real Madrid get a goal, it could mean Chelsea out of the UCL.

Edited: Game is up
Scores: Chelsea 2-0 Real Madrid
3992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: May 05, 2021, 08:05:23 PM
chealse finished the first half 1-0 ahead. Overall, 2-1 chealse is very close to win. Benzema was very close to the goal 2 times, except that madrid did not have a serious position. In this game, as usual, Ramos threw the angry and nervous player to the ground and got a yellow card, I hope he will be calmer second half.
It seems we would be seeing 2 EPL teams in the final as Chelsea is now ahead of Real Madrid just as Manchester City got ahead 8n the first half yesterday. I expected more from Real Madrid but, they just seem incapable of causing any damage to the Chelsea team with this style of play. Its been them struggling to even get in the game talk more of getting a goal. The T. Werner's goal was very unavoidable. First, it they carefully worked the ball from the middle before K. Havertz looped the ball over the Courtois and it hit the crossbar and T. Werner head the ball against an empty post.
Second half is just begun, let's see what changes Zidane has effected in the match.
3993  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Philosophical or Analogy Question - Crypto to Internet on: May 05, 2021, 08:21:41 AM
Creation of Eras
The advent of the internet changed the world and brought it to a whole new level and era. It transfered the validity of a thing from the usual hardware which is rather too bulky, occupies a lot if space and causes nuisance to the society once damaged to softwares which is rather invisible, doesn't occupies any space at all and yet very useful. The fact that, information could be stored in the clouds and accessed anywhere in the world at no cost at all but, just having an Internet enabled device made it more appreciated.

Operations
Stocks existed before this era and has been  around for years, fiat did too and its still in existing but its boom is relatively controlled haven't been around this long but then, cryptocurrency where as, bitcoin is barley 12years  of existence if we check back from 2009 till now . Its still got a long way to go and as a system  that operates on the clouds  in a blockchainn network, its nothing like the 1980s or 1990s.

Timing similarities
Though, the validity might be similar as gaining more from the market in bitcoin depends on few factors of which, the time you came into the system became active and the  strategy you build about that period matters. Like, you can compare the early bitcoin adopters of 2009-2014 with those of 2016-2021. There exist a fine difference as to  how uch you could accumulate at a definite price between them.
So also did the internet era affected business in those ways as, early adopters had more information channel and could reach people with demand for the products more easily than others.

How its not late for cryptos and investors
Again, its not too late for a bitcoin investment  as we can say it being yet to be accepted by the globe and the last bitcoin still to be mined implies, its still in its early stage. So, it pays to get on the trend early.
3994  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in bitcoins for future kids on: May 05, 2021, 07:20:36 AM
Having a future investment for kids have been nothing new. A lot of people have been doing that in the form of insurance and some savings account targeted at tuition fees and a whole other investment plans to serve a purpose.

Having bitcoin investment stalked away for your kids is just the best way to go about having some securities for your kids. It offers a lot of advantage as bitcoin is a highly volatile currency. You directly or indirectly become a hodler of bitcoin even if, its targeted for your kids.
Hodlers they say are usually the the gainers in bitcoin investments and as such, your sure to have your coin stalked away for a few years which would continue to appreciate with the market.

If your looking out for a coin to invest with, I'll suggest bitcoin. It might seem tonhave gone really high but, its far from anywhere near its end. Other coins aren't as promising as bitcoin and there is every possibility of them not appreciating as expected but in the case of bitcoin, it becomes a whole different story. Besides, the growth of other coins is directly or indirectly affected by the activities of bitcoin. So, its better you buy bitcoin in the quantity you can afford and stalk it away.
3995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: May 04, 2021, 10:57:09 PM
Its going to be a great Final if Chelsea ended up making it to the final then we will be having another all premier league Champions League Final again. The last time we had it, it was between Liverpool and Tottenham
Its seems so to me too but, the chances are really slim to be so sure if Real Madrid would allow it. We all know how Real Madrid could be about the UCL, they become all too serious and all they need is just a win, looking at the result from there previous encounter with Chelsea that ended in a draw. Having 2 EPL teams in the final won't seem much like an interesting watch, it would be as an important EPL match  but then, Real Madrid being a Spanish side, playing against an EPL side with both managers Pep Guardiola and Zinedine Zidane to lock horns on league and team tactics, that would be something because, they are the best coach that is at the moment.
3996  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: May 04, 2021, 09:17:51 PM
Of what use is having a big player like Neymar Jnr if he isn't making the team win games?
To be fair, he literally messed up the game tonight. You can't be loosing a game and still be dribbling without any success, wasting time in the process. Through the whole game, PSG had no shot on target, very embarrassing for an elite team. The best thing that would have happened to PSG in this game would have been a Kylan Mbappe  but, I'm just getting to discover that he wasn't fit for the game.
Just like that, Manchester City has gone for the UCL finals for the first time and its under the management of Pep Guardiola. He's been an awesome coach this season.
3997  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: May 04, 2021, 08:01:30 PM
Both sides need to be careful, because of the hunger for goals. Mbappe's absence is factor and Manchester city is playing with this advantage. ICardi's presence hasn’t been felt and I don’t seem to know why.
Yeah, both teams have clearly got to watch it especially,  Manchester. They might have the advantage now but PSG is showing a lot of potentials like, they clearly dominated most of the first half. They've just been unlucky with the finishing thus far, I guess its due to the tension that the game brings. In there effort to avoid mistakes, they start making lots of mistakes. Icardi have got limited contact with the ball so far, what this game needs is Kylan Mbappe,  his feet and should be in the game to reduce the pressure on Neymar Jnr. Neymar's isn't creating much chances because of the pressure that builds around him. Mbappe would be a needed distraction and I'm hoping Pochettino would be wise to bring him in much earlier in the second half.
3998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: May 04, 2021, 07:29:02 PM
What a goal from Mahrez , Manchester City lead PSG 1-0 and  with that goal the goal aggregate should demotivate the French side as they need to score twice to get back in the game.

Neymar drama about to start, hold on to your seats ladies and gentlemen.
Its shocking still how, PSG allowed the citizens to have the game advantage with that early first goal by Mahrez. Its going to be so difficult for them to get back into the game now. They've got to perform some magic to win Manchester City at this point. An all attack kind of formation  is what might work fir them but, it would be very disastrous should Manchester City catch them in a counter attack.

Worst still, Di-Maria just missed there best chance 9f equalising the game, clearly shooting an intercepted ball against an empty post to the wind. With Kylan Mbappe on the bench, everything is going to be weighing heavily on Neymar Jnr. All they need now is a goal to get back in the game and they need it in this first half because, Manchester City won't go easy in the second half.

The race for the top team on the laliga table keeps getting better and better. I'm sure at the moment,  the Atletico Madrid team would be under far too much pressure to win there games looking at the rivalry just behind #Real Madrid and Fc Barcelona, looking for an opportunity that would open and they would just swipe to the top. Atletico is just got to watch it because,  should they loose a game at this point, Barcelona or Real Madrid could top and that would mean the end of the league. As, once on top, its most unlikely that the team would give up the league. Its going to be complete dominance all through. Worst still, the Barca team, they've got no UCL games like Real Madrid.

Barcelona did well to have beaten Valencia today. All thanks to Lionel Messi and his goals.
