Hey everyone,

As online gambling platforms continue to grow in popularity, I’ve been wondering about the future of traditional, land based casinos. With the convenience and accessibility of online betting, will brick-and-mortar casinos become a thing of the past, or will they evolve to offer experiences that can’t be replicated online?

Do you think they’ll manage to hold their ground, or will we see a shift towards exclusively digital platforms?

For me and anyone else that uses gambling as a form of entertainment I will always go to brick and mortar casinos.  Online has its niche but going to a casino for the bells amd whistles.  Usually they have great bars and restaurants.  There's always other things going on like live music and comedy shows.  The people watching is spectacular and there's just a different vibe to it.  I think both online and brick and mortar have theor places here.
Yea, of course both online and mortar bricks casino have the satisfaction that they give to gblers gambling in any of the casinos. Online is unique because it give absolute privacy to your gambling activities and prevent people around you from knowing that you are gambling if you don't want them to know. It is also very easy to access.

Mortar bricks casino have its own fun when you are there to gamble. The environment is very entertaining a d that is what most people enjoy when they are gambling in them. Social life is also another benefit. I love both of them and it is fun to gamble in these two casinos.

Which exchange? It's the wrong mindset that our funds aren't SAFU with CeX. I have been using Bitget for a long time now and keeping my funds there cause I see they have the transparency and proper security arrangements to safeguard user's assets. They review their wallet from time to time and the valuation of their Reserve Fund in addition to the User Protection Fund which is another layer.
It is better for you to move your funds from Bitget exchange to a noncustodial wallet like Electrum or blue wallet, where only you have the private keys for the safety of your coins.

You might think that your coins are safe with them, but they own your private keys and can freeze your assest anytime or hackers can hack the exchange and your funds will be gone, if the exchange crashes. You saw what happened to Luna and FTX. Exchanges should be treated like market place and not like bank. Bitcoin have given you the opportunity to be your own bank, why not accept such freedom.

Not your keys not your coins.

Females are almost walking naked or walking naked on the street and display their bodies in TV saying that it is fashion and people are copying them.

You don't need to have a stable income before you start investing into bitcoin, you can start with what ever amount you have, waiting to stabilise before investing in Bitcoin is not the right thign to do cause you can start while you put yourself in a better position by looking for a stable source of income, let's assume a guy that receives 100$ as a birthday gift and wants to buy bitcoin, although it's it's a steady income he can decide to invest up to 50$ into bitcoin or less depending on his expenses and what matters most is taht he has already started and when he has another money he can buy again and by the time he is stable he might already have some money invested into bitcoin, besides it's a long term approach so he has time to fix himself as he accumulates bitcoin.
Having a stable source of income is crucial for consistent Bitcoin accumulation while also meeting personal needs. investing money you have at the moment without having a steble source of income can impact negatively and  hinder your Bitcoin investment growth. Bitcoin investment requires one to be engaged in something that  brings earnings or wages either weekly or monthly so that certain percentage can be allocated to your Bitcoin investment no matter how little it may be and also doing it consistently, whether weekly or monthly, to ensure steady growth in your investments. Consistency is key in building your Bitcoin portfolio while balancing your financial responsibilities. It's all about finding that balance and staying committed to your investment goals.
Investors are generally advised to build funds and then start investing to ensure consistency in their investments. It is applicable only to those investors who are very serious about their investment and who do not want to disturb the continuity of investment in any way. But I think that an investor can continue to invest properly as long as he doesn't feel too much pressure on his investment. Whenever an investor feels investment pressure he will not be satisfied with his investment and will feel that he should sell this investment. So the investor will invest according to his ability and when he gets time to invest he will invest so that even if the investment is not continuous he can hold his investment for a long time.
I don't think that it is right for any new investor that wants to start his bitcoin journey to build up funds before venturing into bitcoin investment and that will be a waste of time because you can get started immediately with the little funds that you have on you instead of saving and building it up in fiat before investing into bitcoin. Since that investor is a no coiner, he needs to start buying bitcoin using DCA strategy whereby he can buy bitcoin weekly or monthly with his discretionary income for 4-10 years and above.

That is better, because if he starts saving money to reach a big amount before buying, he will not be able to have a good bitcoin size in 10yrs time  compared to when he starts putting the money that he is saving in fiat into bitcoin. Imagine that you have a ten years bitcoin investment plan and you used one year to pile up $2600 which you have being saving $50 weekly, and he used that money to lump sum the next year. Imagine that if he didn't wait to pile up that money and he started right away, he has the advantage to buy bitcoin at different price level every week at $50 through DCA. In one year time he would have accumulated more that $2600 worth of bitcoin, because he bought right away and might even buy at a more cheaper price compared to the guy was was saving his money before buying.

The guy that saved his money might not be able to buy with all his $2600  because there might be some challenges that will come around that will make him use part of the money that he is saving to buy bitcoin. Another thing is that what if bitcoin price is very high during when he has gotten the bulk money, will he start waiting for the dip before buying, he will miss a lot of buying opportunities in the market within that one year that he was busy piling up fiat. Fiat depreciates, so it is better to start keeping the value of your money in bitcoin. I just used one 1 year for for my explaining, to give a fast understanding. Bitcoin investment should be on a long-term goal and start right away because time waits for no one, bitcoin price increases as time passes on and waits for nobody.

In most of the countries, the elderly people aren’t aware of how to operate a computer. In my country, these people don’t gamble either. So I don’t think that online gambling has helped them to learn about computers, at least not in my country. For the old people, the only concern is how they will work hard and save for their retired lives. At this point in their lives, I hardly doubt anyone will do gambling. Yes, only the rich people at the old age do gambling, and they automatically have the knowledge about the computers, I must say.
I agree with you, it is the same down here in my country. The old people don't use online casinos to gamble but they will prefer an offline casino or they play Lotto. If you see any old person using computer, it means that person already knows how to use the computer before old age.

The extent at which young people are gambling is not the same with the old ones, few old men gambles and they are only doing it for fun, because they are use to gambling and love gambling. If not you will not see them gambling, maybe it is different in some countries. Computer has become a basic need in our generation.

Every team are welcome for signing Lukaku in winter transfer window opening if reach Chelsea bid offer 38 million euro,
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca seems not including Lukaku as his game plan for next season have official announced for selling him to interested club want to sign Lukaku.
Not easy for selling Lukaku to Saudi Arabia club because he want keep stays with European teams in this season, has two years contract left I think Chelsea not opening an option for loaning him and try to sell  Lukaku in winter transfer window if any club serious for signing him or put him in the bench until his contract over.
The price is too expensive for a player whose quality has declined, I don't think European teams will be interested in signing Lukaku if Chelea is too expensive, for the Saudi Arabian team it is possible because the Saudi Arabian team has quite strong finances.
Now it is reported that Napoli are interested in recruiting Lukaku, but Napoli's offer price is still below what Chelsea wants.
I think that however Chelsea maintains Lukaku's price it will be detrimental to them because they don't want Lukaku's services anymore so whether they want to or not they have to sell him so that he doesn't become a burden on the team.
It is possible that Chelsea will encourage Lukaku to move to the Saudi Pro League, so that Chelsea can get a big profit from his sale. Napoli are reluctant to sign Lukaku at a high price, even though Conte really wants him. Chelsea are also reportedly unwilling to open up loan options for Lukaku, after previously letting him go to Roma because there was no other option. Pochettino and Enzo Maresca both don't want Lukaku in their squad, Lukaku's second period at Stamford Bridge has fallen short of expectations.

On the other hand, Chelsea have actually cut Lukaku selling price, but considering that Lukaku is over 30 years old, and his sharpness has also decreased, this has resulted in a lack of interest in him. I think leaving for the Saudi Pro League is the right choice for Lukaku, it will be mutually beneficial for all parties, for Lukaku himself, Chelsea and the club that recruited him. The large salary is of course the main attraction, and the luxurious facilities provided will make Lukaku comfortable. But the decision to move to the Saudi Pro League depends on Lukaku, Chelsea clearly wants this transfer to materialize.
If I am Lukaku, I will move to Saudi and forget about playing in England or Italy since there is no good deal done for him next season. Lukaku needs a place to call him and not moving from one  club to another on loan. SPL will be beneficial for him with the huge pay and he will retire successful.

Due to Lukaku current age, I don't think that there is much for him to achieve again in big leagues but having a good club that respects your presence and pays well is a good retirement plan. However, it is not all players that will love to move down to SPL, so the choice is left for him to make.
47  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: June 09, 2024, 04:12:55 PM
What is the point of gambling if we cannot stay calm and gamble?

The rich sometimes face this issue because of the taste for more money will make them make rash decisions as well. Having the money does not guarantee the success but the composure and discipline does.
A gambler may win big in gambling but it is not certain that they are successful in gambling. Despite owning huge wealth through gambling, they lost everything. There is no gain for the gambler in this kind of gambling. I think it's just a waste of time. It is very important for a gambler to learn self-control before gambling. The more patient a gambler is, the better he becomes at gambling. Winning in gambling is not easy but keeping those winnings is even more difficult. One should practice how to manage gambling by limiting urges and keeping complete control over oneself.
If a rich gambler did not have self control on gambling, he will run at big loss, same with a poor gambler. Having a gambling budget and a time limit when gambling can help a lot to mange your bankroll.

The problem that gamblers are having is that they want to make money with gambling, and for that reason they only think of winning without thinking on how to control their losses. If a gambler thinks on how to control his losses, he will not think of chasing his losses, because he will know that to win is by chance and luck.
48  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many Bitcoins do you own or have you collected until now? on: June 09, 2024, 03:28:24 PM
This is the same question that someone you are introducing Bitcoin to will ask, and the rule says...tell no one how many bitcoin that you have.  Cheesy

Bitcoin was very cheap way back and people having those significant amount of bitcoin were those that saw a great potential in bitcoin. I don't think that they will be able to hodli for long because they would have been carried away by the huge profit from their bitcoin and would have sold to cash out. Who knows maybe some of them are still holding theirs.

I have not accumulated enough Bitcoin, so I am still buying and will not sell, so that in ten years time when bitcoin price will be fucking high, those who didn't buy at this current price will say that I am lucky to buy now. There is nothing like luck, it was all about trust and taking risk.

Is it clear that Ronaldo will play in the next World Cup?  Huh  I have done some research but couldn't find anything such statement by him at least. Therefore it still seems like not certain. But the qualifiers phase for European countries would start earlier so maybe at least there we might see him. But I don't know whether he would find the energy in himself to play in the main tournament as well.

I would absolutely like to see him there though together with Messi. At least for one last time we would have a chance to watch these great players together.  Smiley  Still no title for Ronaldo in the World Cup by the way but Messi has got it finally.
As mentioned in few above posts things are pretty clear for the Cristiano Ronaldo to go for the next world cup as his target is having 1000 goals in soccer games with this he could be first player in history who will touch this milestone, and he can do this because his recent performance in Saudi League is impressive and most chances he will be able to have contract until 2026 which could be enough for him to have this milestone in front of his name.

Lionel Messi is behind him with both are having eyes on world cup 2026 which is going to be full of entertainment as first time are going to have many things in this mega event 48 teams three countries and too many games which is really amazing but with this all one thing is sure this legendary player is going to end his career without this title because Portugal is still having no ability to win this even they are having few quality players into their team.
In the next world cup, the youngsters are the ones that will dominate the match, because we have a lot of them that are ready to create new records for themselves. Ronaldo and Messi are weak now based on their age and they are both playing in weak leagues. Ronaldo will always display his talent and create impact in the game for his country, but it will still end up the way it use to be in the past. Portugal will not go far.

Messi has already achieved the highest trophy in football last world cup and that has made him more successful than Ronaldo in football. He will always add impact to his team because he has being doing that for long. It was with his great contributions and hardwork that made Argentina to win the last world cup. I don't think that Messi will be able to perform well in the next world cup, because he is getting old.

You sound funny what do you expect from a casino, to allow you win them and walk away with their funds... No. Casinos are into business and they always want to win their customers that is why the machines are programmed in their favor. Buying bonus does not guarantee you a single win, only if you are lucky.

In gambling, the house hedge always win, and this is why we should not risky our funds thinking of making profit from gambling. If you win too much, you might not be given access to gamble anymore or your bet amount will be limited, but if your loss $1M, the casino will not stop you from gambling.
51  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: Worldcup qualifiers - CAF. on: June 08, 2024, 03:31:11 PM
At the end it all settled one a piece (1-1). And Nigeria did very well to get the comeback. The African world cup qualifiers matches today all had quite a good number of goals which for some time now has been the era with African football because goal scoring was actually some sort of problem for their games.The Algeria game that they lost was a shock to me because they lost to a very big odd of which I even played them to win and they were defeated by guinea.
The draw Super Eagle had with South Africa was not a good one I must say. it kinda discouraging and in the same vein reduced their chances of qualifying as the top contestants of the Group C table.

Currently, the Super Eagle is placed in the 5th position with 3 points, having Lesotho at the 1st spot with 5 points, Rwanda, Benin Republic, and South Africa, all have 4 points. However, according to the ranking of the table(Group C), there's still hope for Super Eagle "if" they win their away match against the Benin Republic. At least the win can push them to the 2-3rd spot, determining the results of other teams in the Group C table. That notwithstanding, towards Monday, we will get to learn about, whether the Super Eagles win, lose, or draw their last match of the year for World Cup qualification against the Benin Republic.
  Some people are saying that Finidi George should be sack now because Super Eagles is now on the danger zone not to qualifying from the world cup and if they didn't qualify then things will go wrong in the club.  But really was a shame for Super Eagles to draw with Bafana Bafana in their own home land. And as it is now, Super Eagles has 3 points which is second to last. And Zambia has 2 points which is the last in the group. Nigeria team can only qualify if they win the return match and if not then they will not go to anywhere and they have to watch the match at home. And if they k ow that they will not do well then they have to stay at home than going there to come in the group stage of the match. They didn't even sang the new National Anthem. But let see what they can play in the next match. This match they played yesterday disappointed many predictions.
LOL....have you forgotten your country again that they are always using their last match to have hope of qualifying. They are not always leading their group or to be second, the do mess up opportunities that will make their qualification a probability. Since I know Nigeria, I have not seen them qualifying and still have more matches left to play.

This orientation should be changed, because it is not a good one, and it does not speak good about the country performance in football. Imagine that they must win their next match before they will qualify for CAF. If they lose the game, it over and Finidi did not enjoy his contract.

My Questions:
1. How do you think centralized exchanges freeze crypto assets? Directly from the blockchain or from the wallet address?
This occurs from the blockchain since if it was freeze in the walletswhich you have the private key or seed phrase, you could have been able to moved it to another wallet and use.

If we are talking about bitcoin, bitcoin cannot be feezed when it is not in a centralized exchange. It is impossible for anyone to tamper with any bitcoin locked in the blockchain except if the wallet is compromised.

Centralized exchange can only freeze assets in their custody. It is just like you keep your money in bank and when there is an illicit activity with your ac account the bank will freeze it. But if you keep the money in your house in a safe, no bank can have access to that money because it is with you.
53  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: June 07, 2024, 03:53:54 PM
Now we see the end of this season, and the teams performance which was a surprised to many people because some teams some people thought they will perform well in this season failed at the end of the tournament, but the team people thought they will lift the trophy failed at the end of the final game.

I believe Bayer Leverkusen will not going to miss this trophy next season,because it look like all their players will still remain till the end of next season and it will help them to work together to achieve their goal.

Some teams has started signing some new players and coaches, just to correct some errors that made them not to improve during the season that ended for the favor of Atalanta team.
Well, there are many positive aspects to be drawn from these facts, firstly Atalanta got their victory and secured a place in the UCL, and another thing that is very important that few see is that Xabi realised that he cannot neglect any aspect of his football system when there are problems, he has to quickly change his strategy, and as the competitions went by he did not put himself in that position and this took him by surprise, now there are very big challenges for him, everyone has high expectations of Leverkusen in the UCL, and I hope that they do not drop the level if they start like they did in the Bundesliga and the Europa League, this will be a heart-stopping one.

Next season might be a different performance for Leverkusen in champions league, I am not expecting anything big from them, because there are a lot of strong clubs in UCL that will give them difficult time to win. They might keep their good performance in Bundesliga, but not in UCL.

This past season was the first time that I saw Leverkusen in their best performance and the reason why I said so is because, they were unbeaten till the final stage. They only lost one match to Atalanta, and it was the most important of them all. I hope that Xabi Alonso will improve his team and make them stronger for next season. We will see both Atalanta and Leverkusen in the champion league next season.

It's true, Manchester United must evaluate and try to improve its performance because Manchester United is one of the big teams that should be able to compete and remain the best. The era of Manchester United was over when its great players left behind. So the management must try to improve this so that in the next season's matches Manchester United can provide the best performance and position they can achieve.
The team management really has to think about this for next season because apart from having to be able to bring in new players into the Manchester United team squad, there must also be more significant changes on the part of the coach so that the whole team becomes stronger in the new season. Because Manchester United is not a small team that has to suffer the same fate as this season in the coming season, so there must be an evaluation and the team's performance must begin to improve for the sake of their revival next season.
Manchester united problem since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club is still lingering, which is a good coach that can lead the club to winning EPL. It has always been a season of delima from one season to the other. If a good coach his brought to the club, he will know the quality of players that he needs to win the league.

This is what United is missing, I don't know if Eric Ten Hag can be the coach that will bring those victorious days back to Manchester united. I could remember that this was how City was suffering in winning the league, until the two Arab brother bough the club and pump money into the club, which was how they got Pep from Barcelona to manage City, and since then Pep have transformed City into a strong club and the favorite in EPL.

I am not in support of anyone, but I am only expressing my personal view. What QueenVera did is bad and against the forum rules, maybe this user is using bot to post and that is why s/he is recycling his/her post over and over again, because if I am QueenVera I would get tired of recycling my post.

I have no doubt that Stake manager have problems with monitoring their campaign participants, and some of these participants take that for granted by spamming the forum to get paid weekly. I would not say that Stake manager selected spammers to work with, because a forum member can become more serious in posting quality post just to get a signature campaign and the moment they have been accepted after few weeks, they will become lazy and unserious with giving out quality post in order to give their best to company.

However, I have noticed that the pay rate of stake is not encouraging to some forum members here who are quality posters and post for fun, especially those in the technical section, and if Stake opens their campaign, such members don't apply. Stake will have no option than to pick from the members that applied, and they will pick the best to their knowledge especially when you are contributing more on gambling section. I saw recently that Stake accepted two quality posters from the Nigeria Board, Charles-Tim and Igebotz. This means that Stake manager knows what he wants and knows how to pick quality posters, but he is not given the opportunity to select because the payrate is low compared to other signature campaigns in the past, so those quality posters don't apply.

I have seen some number of quality posters in Stake. Some signature campaign managers do experience sometimes, that the post quality of a participant is dropping or he did not earned any merit over one month, and they will replace that user and if they are more than one, reshuffling will be made.

What if we tag stake.com, their manager and the participants for spamming?

That should teach them a lesson. Spamming the forum? That’s the line nobody should cross.
It is a harsh decision... Don't use the sin of one person to condemn the rest.  Grin
 Like I said, there are still quality posters in Stake.

Also its good that we are discussing about bitcoin investment in this thread so that we could also figure out if there's something wrong with the methods we use. So that we can be corrected and make our investment to get good result in future. That's why its ideal for new investor to participate on a discussion like this since for sure there would be a lot of learnings to get especially that they can read multiple opinion which can make their mind sharp towards dealing on any possible scenario that they might encounter in future.

I'm impressed on how people deal with their investment and the way how they share some valuable information this help a lot of investor especially when they are seeking for some valid opinions regarding on some pointers that they are considering to follow.

So hopefully all of us here will earn success so lets continue to plant and for sure there would be a good harvest to come in future.

This just remember me of something I learnt about rules. I guess I heard it in a movie.

There are so many rules here,
Some are written,
While others are not,
You learn those that are written by reading,
And learn those that are not written when you break them.



I think when we go through the internet inorder to search for Bitcoin investment strategies or information, we sometimes see so many related concepts that talks about the same thing without adding something new. But the purpose of having such discussion on this thread enables new and old investors to foresee the none written investment strategies that we might not find elsewhere, as most people who share this things might have had personal experience with them. So most times, I just prefer reading through people's opinion to learn rather than add what they already know.
Rules are guidelines and if followed properly one would not make mistake that will affect him in life. In investment generally and Bitcoin investment specifically i can relate the strategy to be one of the rules. Many people dont see the importance of following a well structured strategy to achieve their goal. They might know a lot of strategy but there is the saying that 'jack of all trade but master of none'

An investor who tries several investment strategy along a goal path is bound to fail or experience difficulties along the line. There is great importance of strictly adhering to one strategy during a target goal. Although it is in our hands to decide which we would rather use, and at the end of the day we would take responsibility of our decisions.
You are right but I think that after the first two or three years buying with a regular strategy let's say DCA, an investor can also learn how to tweak to various buying strategies to enable him have broad know of the market and more experience of which buying strategy will be best for him at various accumulation stage.

For example, a new beginner can start with his DCA regularly weekly, and after two years that he have gained more confidence in bitcoin, he can start saving funds to buy at the dip or use part of his reserve funds to buy at the dip, mixing it with his regular ongoing DCA to give him a better advantage of buying more bitcoin to increase his portfolio fast. He can even front laid his bitcoin investment if the price is going higher. However, whatever method that you think will work for you is what you should use as long as you keep on increasing your bitcoin portfolio.


You are on point, but how about after a beginner has followed your suggestion for two years and then decides to sell at a very good price in order to buy the dip?. I think the beginner should be able to buy more this time around as their DCA must have accumulated a lot over those two years. What I mean is that this DCA approach is very good, especially for beginners, assuming it is done for two years. After the two years, the person can then sell at a very good price, combine all the saved up money with what they get from the sale, and then rebuy the dip. This strategy should work fine, but the only constraint might be the timing of when to sell high and when to buy the dip.
That is a wrong thinking that you can use to increase your bitcoin portfolio by selling and buying back. Bitcoin price movement is unpredictable and that is why, you don't need to sell after two years planning to buy back during the dip. Here are the problems that you will face. If you sell after two years because you have made some profits planning to buy back when bitcoin price dips. What if as you sold, the price never dip below your selling point, it means that you have no bitcoin portfolio at all, which means you are like a new beginner. While waiting for the price to dip, you have killed the purpose of investing in bitcoin which is to grow your bitcoin stash overtime. This is why DCA is more recommended to enable continue stacking more bitcoin overtime. You have lost focus on your long-term bitcoin journey, because an unforeseen circumstance can come up that will make you spend part of the funds you got after selling all your bitcoin.

The dip comes like a thief, and when it will come, you might not be able to buy back more than what you have sold. You will also be very slow to reach your bitcoin target compare to when you are just buying without selling to buy back. Why don't you just forget about this your thoughts and continue to build up your bitcoin with regular buying weekly or monthly, because the investor who only focus on buying, will accumulate more bitcoin than you that is selling to buy back, because he is not waiting for the dip to come and bitcoin is the best store of value to put our funds currently. It is not good to sell on your way up. There is time for everything. No one can time the dip and that is where the big picture of gambling comes to play out in your suggestion.

Vincent Kompany has big job ahead of him as manager of Bayern Munich. He had great career as player and some experience managing Burnley but it is unsure if he can handle big club like Bayern. He helped Burnley move up to Premier League but they got sent back down which raises concerns. However he learned from great manager Pep Guardiola when they were at Manchester City together. Kompany style of football is exciting and I hope he brings that to Bayern. Managing famous club like Bayern is a tough task, even for someone with Kompany experience. I hope he does well, but we'll have to wait and see if he can be successful as a manager like he was as a player.
The big job ahead of him cannot be separated from the status of the team he currently handles. The reason is that the bigger the team he handles, the greater the pressure he will get, the supporters will definitely demand that he perform something extraordinary for Bayern Munich. Of course the pressure when he handles Burnley will be much different from when he handles Bayern Munich now, so he has to prepare very well.
The challenge is in front of his eyes now, he must turn that challenge into motivation so that he can play well with Bayern Munich next season. If not, maybe he will get a very short time with Bayern Munich and be immediately fired if he fails to provide a good performance for at least half the season. So he had to be prepared for something like that.
One disadvantage for Kompany is that Bayern Munich is a very strong and big club which the fans are use to winning since they are the favorite club in Bundesliga. This is where the problem lies, because they will want to see that same Bayern Munich that use to win matches without giving him a lot of time to work with the club.

This is where everyone will know if Kompany is a coach that can withstand pressure to face the challenge in front of him, and overcome it. Kompany is used to a small club and I hope Bayern Munich will not be bigger than him to manage.

damnn! Crazy lineup from real Madrid. Almost a billion dollars is worth of this starting lineup which is crazy. That real madrid has been gradually developing the project and is now completing the final touches to introduce mbappe to the real madrid is great to witness.  I really appreciate what perez has done. Im sorry laporta, you are nothing compared to the perez as an president of club.

With this starting line UP, I think Real Madrid will always rule the La Liga. Furthermore, Bellingham, Rodrygo, or even Mbappe can alternate as the central striker. Madrid has a lot of central strikers at the moment, that's for sure.

If they are also playing in the adaptable positions, that is excellent. After Los Galacticos during Ronaldo's time, I truly like how Perez rebuilt Monster Club.


Teams that depend on one footballer are not great teams. The biggest example of this is Real Madrid. Ronaldo was seen as the savior of Real Madrid. But all Real Madrid's players were as important as Ronaldo. Real Madrid did not lose after Ronaldo left the team. That's what it takes to be a great team. Now we see young players carrying Real. Ancelotti has built a good team and he's reaping the benefits every year. Mbappe is a very important signing. Now there will be no team to stop them and the Real Madrid hegemony will continue for many years.
Real Madrid has always kept to their standard since history. They do ha e the best players and if any player leaves, it hardly affects the club because they only buy a superstars. This is how the club will continue to be victorious in football because they maintain the club to make sure that they win the champions league and not Laliga.

A good first eleven will Real Madrid have now and it will be a problem to any club that they clash with because everyone is damn good on his position. I will love to see how El Clasico will be like next season with Barcelona new coach Flickr.

Keeping patience is the worst thing anyone can do in the memecoin market. This market is not for long term. Only people are making money here are the ones who knows when to pull out there investments. So having patience will definitely backfire.

Also never research on a Memecoin at all. These coins do not have any utilities. These coins do not built anything amazing. These are gambling. So there is really nothing to research on the coin itself. You need to research on the timing to understand when to pull out your investment. That is the name of the game here!
Research on meme coin and being patient with your bag of meme coin is a waste of time and resources. Those that will be able to make profit from meme coins are lucky enough to pull out their profit at the right time, and if they try it again they might run at loss. This is why I agree with you that buying meme coin is gambling. It is good when you buy it and you see a little profit, you sell all immediately because delay is dangerous.

The project was created to rug pull investors after the pump. This is why it is not good to think of buying them so that you don't wake up one morning and all your bag is in zero value. If you must buy them, let it be only 5% of your total bitcoin portfolio. So that you can gamble with them meme coins.

Usually, small lies are enough to be able to repel these pesky borrowers because you know that they're going to take notice of the hint that you don't want to lend them money, it will also work where you tell them when will they pay the loan and then tell them, direct to the point that it's going to be a difficult time for them if they don't make true of their promise, this too works like a charm especially for those people that are close to you to some level, the trust that's also a part of the loan is going to be broken, I'd still go with lying to avoid borrowerd, much easier for me and to them, no long winded speech about trust and loans.
Small lies can helps us to avoids people who wants to borrow money from us because they will not thinks that we lies to them. But for those who knows us better will thinks that we lies to them. We just don't wants to see they playing gambling, especially if we knows that they can't control themselves better and only lose that money and makes them difficult to repay the money. They should know that we don't wants to lend our money to them and will not force us doing that. They can search for the other people who wants to lend and we guess that they can gets it easily so they can do many things with that money.

It is difficult to lend the money to people who can't keeps their promises to repay the money. Many people ruins their relationship doing this simple matter so we don't wants to get that experience.
I'm not that kind of person, when it comes to gambling, I'm not lending to those people because I'm concerned of their habit but because I'm not good at confrontation and straight answers and I really don't want to lend them the money, maybe that's the part that we are different and those people that knows me best, if they know that I'm lying to them about something just to get away with letting them borrow some money for gambling, they'd know by then that I'm not going to lend any to them. Regarding promises, I think that if they start to break it, that's the point that I draw the line, they might be able to still pay it back but they can never borrow money from me again.
Way back, I use to borrow my friend money to gamble while I watch him gamble, and sometimes he wins instantly and give me back the money, while sometimes he run at loss and promise to pay me back later. Sometimes he pays back but most times he doesn't pay back.

This made me to conclude that I will never borrow any gambler money to gamble. One funny thing is that they know how to lie very well in order for you to feel pity for them on a different story. What I do is that I just tell them that I don't have any money on me, because they are not in my budget for the day.
