41  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Misunderstanding of Halving by Bitcoin enthusiast. on: May 17, 2024, 09:01:24 AM
Bitcoin has diverse means in which it operates, although I so much believe that this is th first time some of us that are here are experiencing this event called Bitcoin halving that's why they misunderstand the process, know doubt this occurrence that happens every four years was meant to be a period that Bitcoin is suppose to pump but unfortunately the pump has not been experienced yet but it doesn't mean that it won't happen.

this singular act of bitcoin just made me to understand that financial system are the most volatile, there stability is never assured, no matter how you predict their price, whatever happens in the long run or in the process was meant to be but not necessarily that your prediction was the reason for the event took place, now might be a great opportunity for everyone to acquire more of this asset if they can and keep holding until the appointed time comes.

My brother, you don really talk well, most of we wey be crypto enthusiastic wey never experience halving before including me, think say once the halving event take place, the price of Bitcoin go just dy skyrocket immediately without even knowing how the system works, but we mostly dy disappointed at the end because wetin wey happen, no be wetin we dy expect, even up till now, the price still never move up as expected.

Most people no know say e go normally take Time before the price go move up, but still on still, as for me, I never still lose hope, I believe say the price of Bitcoin go move up as predicted in due time, so my primary concern now na how to accumulate a very good stash of Bitcoin, so that wen the price start going up, I no go miss out in cashing out big.

Manchester United is rumoured to be interested in Ollie Watkins transfer this summer. Honestly he is one of the reasonable players to be targeted for the attacking line. However he won't be a cheap transfer at the same time. He is having his most productive season at Aston Villa now (19 goals, 13 assists in the Premier League). His current market value is 65 million euros.

Aston Villa can make a huge profit from a possible transfer. They signed him for 34 million euros 4 years ago. They know how keen Manchester United are about spending a lot of money for their targets.  Smiley  I don't expect Aston Villa to price him less than his current value.
I can understand if Man United is interested to sign Ollie Watkins. Yes, this player experiences a great season, he is competing for the top scorer and becomes the player who made most assists in EPL this season. Although he is not a young player anymore, he is still in the prime age. So Man United management expects to get instant impact by signing Ollie Watkins. His transfer fees is also quite affordable, 65 million euros isn't too much money for Man United. If Man United sells some players, it is enough to pay Watkins's transfer fees.

Anyway, I'm not sure it will be easy to sign Watkins. Although Aston Villa gets huge profits, they will be difficult to get the replacement. Watkins is their mainstay striker, it will bring big impact if Aston Villa will lose him. However, Aston Villa will have no chance to keep him if Watkins is interested to join Man United. So, it depends on Man United now, they must know how to convince Watkins to join Man United squad.

First of all, it's actually a very good move that is going to improve the attacking lineup of this Manchester united side no doubt, because if you look at the current attacking players at Manchester united, you will be shocked at how bad they have all been throughout this season, when you are talking of their numbers.

But on a career move aspect, I don't think it's a good move for Watkins, because Manchester united is a team that is in a disarray right now, and it's actually going to take them like four to five years from now for them to return back to their glory days, so if Watkins makes this transfer to Manchester united, of a truth he is actually going to earn better, but it's going to be a wrong move for him, because Manchester united have that tendency right now of not being able to feed their attackers in the feed of play, so I suggest he should stay put at Aston villa till a better offer from a reputable club that is playing champions league football comes in,  besides Aston villa is playing champions league football next season, so why in a hurry to go to a club that is in disarray.

Yes you are right Manchester United place in Premier League table shows how poorly they have done in this season. With 57 points and goal difference of -3 it is unlikely they will be able to move up especially since Newcastle is close behind. Chelsea in 7th place with 60 points and a +13 goal difference, is already ahead of United. The problem is mostly with Erik ten Hag, whose decisions have been very bad. His poor leadership has made for a sad season, and I think the club should consider getting new manager at the end of the season. The team needs new leadership to improve and become a top club again.

Things will be easier for Ten Hag as well as Man Utd if they can win against Mancity and win the FA Cup in the final on May 25. This is also the most feasible opportunity that they have the right to self-determine to get tickets to the Europa League next season. If they lose in this final, they must pray that Newcastle stumbles in the final match of the Premier League to hope to qualify for the Conference League play-offs. The prospect of being left empty-handed this season and not having a place in the European Cup next season is almost the worst thing for Man Utd throughout their history.

The results of the final round of this final Premier League match may have some impact on Mancity's mentality before they enter the FA final against Man Utd. If they win the cup, their fiery spirit will make it difficult for Man Utd to win the championship. On the contrary, if they let Arsenal come from behind to win the cup, the domino psychological effect may cause them to continue to stumble.
Erik ten Hag can't avoid it, MU has been disappointing this season. Currently MU is in 8th place in the standings with 57 points, with one game remaining. Ten Hag must be responsible for MU's worst performance record in the Premier League. Because of this, we hear a lot of rumors about Ten Hag's dismissal. Most fans were dissatisfied with Ten Hag's performance, thinking it was a failure. The problem is, firing Ten Hag is also risky. Manchester United is in danger of recording their worst season in the history of appearances in the Premier League.

Bro, I really don't think their is anything risky about firing Eric ten hang here, he has greatly under performed as a manager of Manchester united, how can a team as big as Manchester united finished number 8 in the league, with the kind of quality players at his disposal? It's not a joke at all, I am not a fan of Manchester united but he just have to go, because the performance of Manchester united is just too lackadaisical to say if their is any progress he has made to the team since he took over as manager of Manchester united.

Lastly, for Manchester united to be able to compete again, a change is greatly needed, most of the players that are under performing also need to go, and a good and reputable coach should be hired to lead the team.

Are you f**king kidding me? Someone's price prediction of Bitcoin is misinformation? No, if it's like that then it's just like their is no freedom of speech, because I believe that everyone is entitle to their opinion, so if someone can't express his or her selves then their is no freedom to express ourselves.

Lastly, you also need to know that we are still in the early days of Bitcoin, so I it's very much likely that it has the potential to rise way above 100k that is being speculated by most people, just look at the magnificent growth it has made just in a space of 16 years,

You make several decent points Barikui1, but you need to be careful to not overstate things, and sure you are close to being correct about 16 years, but not quite, so sometimes it is better to state things to the downside or round them off rather than inflate them...

1) surely bitcoin has a pre-history of 30-40 years.. but bitcoin itself was not formally announced until October 31, 2008 - which I measure to be 15.5 years ago,

2) the network went live on January 3, 2009, which was 15.25 years ago,

3) there were not really any examples of bitcoin having any market price until around early to mid-2010 which would be 14 years ago.

4) If we are considering price versus the growth of various developments and businesses being built upon bitcoin, personally, I don't really like to get too caught up in those earliest days of bitcoin's price movements, largely because the amounts were starting so small, but also there was such a nicheness (smallness) in the ways in which anyone might get exposure to bitcoin, so it becomes quite difficult to start measuring it's price from periods prior to early 2012 - and at the same time, I understand that your proclamation that "bitcoin has come a long way" is not completely focusing upon bitcoin's price movements, since for sure, some of the non-price developments and increased adoption, spreading awareness and maybe even the building several of bitcoin's network effects (in the school of thought of Trace Mayer) were still very important happenings prior to 2012 - ... yet in terms of fairness regarding developments and price being somewhat reasonable and fair, I don't tend to like to go back prior to 2012.. so in that sense, we could arguable proclaim that bitcoin's price starting point was in the ballpark of the beginning of 2012 at $5.. and even then, we can still proclaim that "bitcoin, you have come a long way baby," even if we are measuring from early 2012.  For sure, you don't need to accept my own framework, yet my main reason for highlighting this point is to suggest whatever framework you choose to present, you try to error on the side of conservatism rather than numbers that are inaccurate on the upside - otherwise you might be accused of inflating and/or misleading in terms of your representations.

who told you that it can't double or triple it current price in 20 years time?

Oh gawd.. If we are thinking about spot price, we know that bitcoin could double in a matter of a few days or a week, and that it could 10x to 100x or even potentially 1,000x to 10,000x in a matter of 20 years, even though the 1,000x to 10,000x might might be  on the higher ends, the 10,000x scenarios are not unrealistic in the 50-200 timeline range.

So everyone is entitle to speculate what so ever, because the potential of Bitcoin is extremely high.

That is true.  We can speculate in either direction, and this forum seems to tolerate quite a large range of speculation, so long as we are mostly attempting to stay upon topic within our chosen thread, and in the Wall Observer (WO) thread, there is even more latitude than other threads in terms of deviating from the topics, though the active participants in that thread will still get worked up about attempts to shill shitcoins within that thread.

[edited out]
In the context of Bitcoin, the estimate is mostly real.The price history of the last 16 years is more growth than we imagine.

We can see that is some folks (Barikui1 in this case) make exaggerated claims, such as something in the ballpark of BTC having a price history of 16 years, then others (liasbaa in his case) repeat those same kinds of inaccurate data points.. and so then we may well end up having several forum members repeating the same inaccurate data points... so likely it would be much better not to create such inaccurate data points in the first place.

Wow, actually I never thought that Bitcoin has a pre history of 30-40 years back, not until today, I never knew of it, I initially thought it came into existence in 2009 when it went live, thank you sir for this knowledge you just shared to me, and as for for the case of exaggerating it or not saying the right figure, I apologize, it's just a mistake from my end, it would have even been better if I had downsize it than inflated it.

Lastly, am just curious like, why would it took them, the developers so long to make it comes to reality?  because to be frank 30-40 years is way too much to make any project around the world comes to reality, if much attention and resources is being channeled towards it.
45  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Naturally Chase loses in gambling.. on: May 16, 2024, 05:44:20 AM
Hi everyone,
Here actually is my finding on why people chase loses in gambling, do you know that it's natural for a gambler to chase after his or her loses? Well, if you don't know, now you know, it is natural in the sense that ; the desire is inbuilt, it is we ourselves that learn to put or subject the desire to our control, same way it is natural to feel bad when you lose a bet, but you can be happy if you choose to, and can control your emotion.

One of the reason why many gamblers naturally chase after their lose is due to one thing that is built into every game known as the "near miss effect", after every loss, a near miss effect makes our brain believe that a win is very close, and this automatically makes the player to keep playing and playing, even while he or she is losing, his or her brain convinces itself that a jackpot is just around the corner, this makes the player keep playing until he or she discovers that his or her bankroll is empty, this is when anger and regret usually sets in, you begin to feel like you were not really yourself all that time you were gambling, like you were hypnotized or something, and you only regained consciousness of yourself when you have already gambled all your money away.

This has happened to me few times, and from it, I've leant to always be conscious of myself and my decisions while gambling, making sure I do not allow my brain to deceive me into believing that my losses is because a win is around the corner, making me to gamble way more than I've planned to.

So, from your own understanding, what do you think makes people chase loses aside greed which I believe many of us are already familier with?.

Chasing of losses by gamblers is quite natural to those of them that take it as a source of income, because if you are actually gambling for fun, you will definitely gambles with money you can afford to lose, and if in the process you fall to win, even though it ten times in a row, you wouldn't actually be bothered because that's a money you can do away without, but if you are gambling with money you can't afford to lose, that is the major reason of not just chasing losses, but it's the path that leads to addiction.

So in essence is that, if we can be able to gamble with only what we can afford to lose, we wouldn't have to chase losses in the first place, because in gambling, the more you chase losses the more you lose your hard earned money, so it's best we only stake what we can afford to lose so that we wouldn't be in  that space in the first place.
46  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 16, 2024, 05:04:57 AM
I see Cole Palmer as Chelsea's biggest bright spot this season. Young talent grown from Man City can fight independently and is a threat to any defense. After what he showed, the English star has proven himself to be a comprehensive attacking midfielder, deserving of the 'Chelsea's Best Player of the Season' award. as well as being capable of competing for the title of 'Best Premier League Player' and 'Best Young Player of the Premier League' this season. And let us not forget that Cole Palmer is playing for a team in decline like Chelsea.
Yes, Cole Palmer does have very promising talent, especially since he is still very young (22 years). In fact, this season Cole Palmer has scored 22 goals in 33 matches, and I think this achievement is extraordinary for a young player. So Chelsea's decision was very appropriate to bring in Cole Palmer with a fairly long contract, namely until 2030. Because, Cole Palmer's talent will certainly continue to develop every season. So of course this will be very beneficial for Chelsea to be able to compete better in the Premier League in the coming seasons. Then in the match against Brighton last night, Cole Palmer also had a very important role in Chelsea's midfield and front line. Even in that match, Cole Palmer was able to score a very beautiful goal with his header. So it is not surprising that Cole Palmer is included in the list of the best young players in the Premier League this season, because compared to other young players playing in the Premier League, perhaps Cole Palmer deserves to be in the top 5 best young players in the English league.

And what's even more interesting, currently Chelsea's performance condition can be said to be less than good. However, with Cole Palmer's talent and self-confidence, he is able to play very well and is always a player who can be relied on to determine Chelsea's victory in their matches. Even now Chelsea has hopes of being ranked 5th in the Premier League. The reason is, the difference between Chelsea and Tottenham, who are ranked 5th, is only 3 points. So, if for example Chelsea can win the last match against Bournemouth and Tottenham lose to Sheff Utd, then there is a big possibility that Chelsea can finish in 5th place in the Premier League.

It was actually a very good and impressive performance from Chelsea last night, I think they are beginning to find their rythme and consistency at this closing stage of the season, but I still feels like they found their form too late, if they had picked their form earlier, I believe that they would have qualify for a place in the uefa champions league, but never the less, the uefa Europa league is actually not bad since they are still building the team and considering the fact that most people including me never thought that they will be able to climb up the table this far, so it's actually a good position to consolidate on for now.

And as for cole palmer, of a truth, I never ever thought that he would actually be this good, because he never showed such quality and audacity on the ball at Manchester city, the way he is doing it at Chelsea, I just think that his signing is a major gain to Chelsea football club and a big loss to Manchester city.
47  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is Bitcoin A Safe Haven Asset For Investment? on: May 16, 2024, 04:52:55 AM
What is a safe haven asset?A safe-haven asset is a financial instrument that is expected to retain, or even gain value during periods of economic downturn.In other words a safe haven asset is expected to retains it's value during economic crash/instability.There are several assets that have been identified by investors as a safe haven asset;Gold, Government bonds, US dollar, Japanese yen, Defensive stocks etc.
Over the years Bitcoin has been identified and recognized as a safe haven asset for investment.Bitcoin which is often referred to as a "Digital Gold" is a digital asset that retain it's value and even increase in value during economic instability.Since Bitcoin isn't backed up by government or any central controlling authority most investors haven't identified Bitcoin to as safe haven asset in their investment portfolio.For the fact that Bitcoin retain it's value and beyond during economic crash it's a safe haven asset to me.It's important for an investor to carry out research on any safe haven asset before investing,even if they are called safe haven asset doesn't mean they don't have their unique risk,so research should be done effectively as every investor have their different investing goal and risk tolerance.
Features That Qualifies Bitcoin As A Safe Haven Asset
1.High Liquidity: Liquidity is the ability to convert your asset into other assets or cash.An investment must have a high liquidity which guarantees quick transactions and market growth.With the high liquidity in Bitcoin transaction it makes it a store of value and a safe haven asset.
2.Limited Supply: Bitcoin supply is limited,it has a fixed supply of 21 million BTC to be mined.The law of supply and demand states that when the supply outweigh the demand the value of the currency is depreciated and loses its value but when the demand outweigh the supply the currency retains it's value, that's why the value of Bitcoin is maintained because of it's limited supply.
3. Continuous Demand:An investment must maintain a continuous demand for it to be a store of value and a safe haven asset.The continuous demand of Bitcoin makes it a store of value and promotes it adoption.
4.Permanence:An asset is considered a safe haven asset when it can't be destroyed physically for instance Bitcoin.Bitcoin can be stored for years in a wallet without any form of decay or rot.
My fellow Nigerians let's discuss,what's your take on Bitcoin as a safe haven asset.



Yes in my own opinion, I believe that Bitcoin is a safe heaven to save your money in, because it's an asset that appreciate in value overtime, though it's has it own risk attached to it due to it volatility, but it's way more better than holding your money in fiat, which will be eaten up by inflation, so it's very necessary to hold your money in Bitcoin, because by doing so, you don't just gives your money added value, you are unknowingly building a generational wealth if you really have a good stash of Bitcoin in your possession, and you stay true to your accumulating strategy.

So in essence is that, Bitcoin is actually a safe heaven for our money, just like land, gold, and anything that appreciate in value overtime.

woke up this morning and I decided to check rate as usual to see what's going on, only to my surprise, I couldn't find NGN/USDT and other trading pairs. It seems the Nigerian Security exchange commission are pushing hard and want to kill the p2p market in Nigeria. No official announcements yet but I can confirm from other people and it's not showing from their end, this is not a glitch.




They will surely comes for other exchanges.
My brother, as I see this ur thread, the first thing I go check na my kucoin account and if I fit transact, bro their reply is; your can't perform this trade due to country or region, I just wonder which kind government we get as a country,  other countries problem dy totally different, but our own problem na man made problem,  bad bad leadership up and down.

Though e fit still be network wahala because no announcement has been made, but if truly say kucoin don leave the Nigerian market, then no be good news at all, because wetin I just observe from this present government administration is that them dy only pursue policies wey go hit the common man hard, I no know if anyone dy also see am like that.

We have seen Bitcoin reach 70k USD and it even reached a point of 71k briefly. We are seeing history being made right here with the new all time high being set once again and it is happening even before halving.

I have high expectations that bitcoin will reach 100k but will it reach 100k without any major decline in price? Does it seem realistic that from 70k, bitcoin will continuously rise up?
that is why we condemn exaggeration and the speculation whenever bitcoin is increasing in the market many people will start the analysis whereby they have not make a proper research to know the exact increment of Bitcoin within the year but speculation will be circulating due to a road side information obtain from people, so from my our perspective, it is known that bitcoin price will increase based on the determinant of the market not to by exaggeration by people who have not make a proper research of Bitcoin

We discourage exaggeration and incorrect predictions in the Bitcoin market as they are seen as misinformation and not right to freedom of speech. I totally believe that Bitcoin would get to $100K someday, but the question is when ?. My problem with certain people is how they make predictions Just by making random guesses that comes to their mind. Bitcoin price shouldn't be as guessing game, but rather requires ones patience to wait for possible price outcome.

Are you f**king kidding me? Someone's price prediction of Bitcoin is misinformation? No, if it's like that then it's just like their is no freedom of speech, because I believe that everyone is entitle to their opinion, so if someone can't express his or her selves then their is no freedom to express ourselves.

So everyone is entitle to speculate what so ever, because the potential of Bitcoin is extremely high.

Via their official Twitter account, Manchester United confirmed Raphael Varane's departure from the Red Devils squad at the end of the season. The journey of 3 seasons has been very fast for the former Real Madrid player at Old Trafford and Raphael Varane will be preparing for the next new challenge in his career.

Raphael Varane's contract expires this summer and the club has no intention of extending his contract. I think Manchester United wants to look for a younger and fitter central defender because they can't keep Raphael Varane any longer. Apart from that, it is possible that the next player to leave is Casemiro as has long been rumored. Well, good luck on your next career journey, Raphael Varane. Wink
Varane is a good player, which has been proven when he has won all the noble titles with Real. However, when he came to Man UTd, his performance began to decline and he gradually lost his position in the squad. It must be added that his time playing for Man Utd was a time when he struggled with injuries. And he appeared to have better chemistry when playing with Martinez, instead of with Maguire.

Varane received a lot of expectations when joining Man Utd. However, along with the decline of the entire team under Solskjaer and Ten Hag, Varane also lost his top career. So, leaving at this time is completely reasonable for him. In my opinion, the possibility of Varane going to Saudi Arabia is very high, suitable for players like him who are on the slope of their career.


It's very sad and regrettable that a quality players as varane will be leaving Manchester united without leaving up to the hype and expectations when he initially sign for the club, but I still feel he is still a very good player, he just came into a club in Crisis, which made  almost all his wrong decisions scrutinized at every given opportunity, and I believe that he will not be the only big name player leaving the club, their will be so much more, and during this summer, I also think that the manager will also be shown the exit door, because he has largely under performed this season, and someone's head must go for it.

And lastly, I think their would be and exodus of players leaving the club because they have largely under performed as a team, and because of that, so many changes will definitely be made by the management of the club.

Quote from: Unsoldier
Tottenham could have equalized at the end of the game. Son had a great moment to do so when he went one-on-one with Ortega, but was unable to score. But despite Tottenham's active play, City won anyway.

It seems that Manchester City will win this EPL season, but we have to wait for the last match. Then everything will become clear.

I think, Tottenham really position themselves very well in the first half not to allowed Manchester city to score a goal in the 45 minutes, but Tottenham strikes missed some opportunities that would have make them to first Manchester city to score goal but the first half ended up draw 0-0. Manchester city are good in using second half to play their opponent, which they did in this match for Erling Haaland to scored two goals to improve their points and position in the premier league table, and it will be very hard for Arsenal to escape this stage. Based on the results they achieved from Tottenham who are among the strong teams in premier league competition, I think it is very clear that Manchester city will win this title again, because their manager will still prepare them ahead other matches that is coming up so that they will continue maintaining the winning till the end of the tournament..


Hahaha, so arsenal thought they can still win the league?  After they blew it away and let Manchester city go above them in the league table? They are not just serious, the title was lost the day the destiny of the title race get into the hands of Manchester city, I said so because arsenal have just failed to learn from their past mistakes, they keeps on doing the same mistakes and be expecting a different results, I said it earlier before now that if Manchester city goes on top, especially when their is less than ten games remaining, then be rest assured that they will definitely win it.

And as for the game, it was actually a very fascinating encounter between them both, though Tottenham Hotspur missed a very good scoring opportunities which should have made the game different, but that wasn't meant to be, so a big congratulations to Manchester city for showing why they are the defending champions.

Imo if someone is experiencing any financial situation or problem, is better to reduce their amount for accumulating for a while than stopping totally.
Edited out
You are getting it all wrong because reducing your accumulation amounts if you are having some financial challenges can never lead you into giving up an investment because if the the source of income is low and the needs are a little bit high cutting down a bit of your accumulation will actually allow you to balance, however on the contrary your narrative on or rather your mindset could lead you into trouble on your investment if you are not able to Identify when the need to adjust your accumulation amounts arises, however if I may ask for instance your normal weekly accumulation is $20 while your monthly salary is $100 but on the process your salary drops to $60 on a monthly basis and your needs has increase would you reduce your accumulation amounts to either $5 or $10 weekly? Or would you continue with your normal $20 weekly?, because for me at this points $20 weekly is actually being aggressive and could get you into trouble.
This shouldn't  be very hard actually.... all you need is increasing the time interval still you find a way to get back to your $100 and if you actually read carefully I didn't totally go against the reduction  but I wasn't totally in support with it .
Let's break it down
I am a worker, I get a monthly  salary of 100 bucks.... my DCA $20 weekly  fir total $80 monthly taking the remaining 20 bucks for expenses
Now I got a slice on my monthly pay of 40 bucks  and  I now earn $60 monthly..
How can I do this by not reducing  my DCA value... I shifted my DCA to 2weeks interval $20  making $40  a month with same $20 left for my expenses.... instead of reducing and getting comfortable  with a new DCA  of $10/week  

Although  at the end we should come to a total of $40 but  anything less won't give us a $40  however, when I'm finally back to $100 it might be a little bit hard to switch back to $20/week as I'm pretty much used to investing $10/week

Your suggestion is actually not a bad idea, but to be frank, it will be fair for an individual to split it and invest what he actually can afford to do without, I don't know what our separate monthly expenses might be, but we knows ourselves better than anyone else, so it would be best we invest what we can do away without or I will say it like, we should only be investing what we can afford, as long as their is consistency in our DCA accumulating strategy then it's ok.

To me, it's not a big deal to reduce the size of your monthly or weekly investment money, if their is a sudden declined of your monthly or weekly income, so it's very much logical that in other to keep up to the continuity of your investment, you just have to reduce it, because slow progress is still a progress, as long as you don't stop.

Mourinho gradually changed his defensive style of play at Roma compared to when he was at Chelsea and Inter Milan. He has also improved on his relationship with players as we saw in his last club. My view is that his time has passed and he should move to average clubs. Uncommon old tacticians and young coaches now rule the coaching world. Young coaches who have fresh ideas and a taking over the coaching sphere and any coach who fails to move with this advancement become outdated.  
AS Roma board was selfish enough to dismissed one of the top ranking coach from their team and had to settle for someone that's not even close to competing with José Mourinho for the title. It's vividly clear that José Mourinho build up AS Roma to become one of the fierce club in the Seria A and won them their first UEFEA Confernce League title and this was one of the significance changes brought by the magnificent coach that wasn't given a second chance to make things right for the club, I hopes Daniele De Rossi does.

Yes, I really do agree to your sentiment here, jose Mourinho was the one that rebuilt As Roma and make them to be more competitive as they are right now, in the past two seasons that he was the manager of As Roma, he took them to two European finals, uefa Europa league finals and uefa conference cup finals, so that shows that he is truly a winner, I know that his haters would say that his team are always defensive, but that's not true, they are actually more attacking than most people makes it looks like.

Though of a truth, De Rossi has really tried in what he has done in the absence of jose Mourinho, but I really do think that they can't be that competition as they were, when jose Mourinho was still the manager of the club.

I strongly agree with Pep's statement about the title race against Arsenal i meant totenham's match gonna be the key point here. I meant that winning the game against Tottenham is critical to City's chances of winning the Premier League caused by it's gonna . As Pep mentioned, it will be a crucial game for Manchester City to win the trophy and keep Arsenal trophyless this season and what pep said is the fact.
Manchester City can beat Tottenham as a key factor in winning the title this season and the most possible scenario if manchester city will able to surpass arsenal's GF and GD when it gets draw against toteham. West Ham is even weaker than Tottenham. This is the key to Pep winning the Premier League trophy for the fourth time in a row.

I believe City will beat Tottenham again, as they did in the first leg. Arsenal will be finished if City can beat Tottenham soon.
Everyone strongly agreed with this Pep's statement because we all know after Arsenal win at Old Trafford we are having just one game which is going to have big impact on Premier League title race in this season and this is going to play between Tottenham vs Manchester City at the Tottenham Stadium tomorrow even Manchester City is hot favourite for this game with their performance level is too good for the current form of Tottenham because they are having terrible performance in last few games and after four matches losing streak now having first win against Burnley which is also not promising but can they stop Manchester City it is very important and surely things could be not easy for any team to have things easy with Tottenham is also having good chance of jumping at the fourth spot because Aston Villa is also having two challenging games to come in next few days.

In fact, Tottenham's losing streak doesn't mean much, as they can come together and give Manchester City a fight. MS at the moment are not satisfied with even one draw, because on goal difference they can not win, in this case they will have to win the last match with a rout, which is unlikely. Let's see what will happen tomorrow, if MS win, then everything will be decided in the last round
There is a possibility that Manchester City might end up not beating Tottenham today in the Premier League. In the last meeting between Tottenham and Manchester City in the Premier League, Tottenham defeated Manchester City two times, while Manchester City defeated Tottenham one time, and they played one draw. The draw was played this season at Etihad Stadium, and Tottenham was struggling in the Premier League at the time they played with Manchester City, but Manchester City couldn't beat Tottenham. We should not be surprised if Tottenham earn a point against Manchester City because they have been getting positive results against Manchester City recently in the Premier League.
Today's match is very important for Manchester City because the Premier League title of Manchester City depends on the result of this single match. Arsenal have played 37 matches, with 37 matches played they are at the top of the points table with one point more than Manchester City. On the other hand, Manchester City has played one match less than Arsenal and is in the second position of the points table with 1 point less. If Manchester City loses against Tottenham, but Arsenal and Manchester City play 37 matches, Manchester City will be one point behind Arsenal. If Manchester City can get 3 points against Tottenham then Manchester City will celebrate the title win at the end of the match, but if the match is a draw then we have to look at the 38th match again. This match is not going to be easy for Manchester City as this match will be held at home ground.

It's actually true that this particular match might be the title race decider no doubt, because almost all the arsenal fan and those neutral fan that wanted arsenal to win the title will definitely be hoping that Tottenham can hold Manchester city to a draw at least, so that they can stand a chance of winning this year premier league title, though it's actually going to be a fascinating encounter between them both no doubt, because the interesting statistics about it is that Manchester city always find it difficult to beat Tottenham at white heart lane, and I believe that, that will be what the arsenal faithful will be hoping for, because a draw at least can swing the title race to their favour.

But in my own opinion, I believe that pep guardiola will be treating this particular game as a finals, so I don't really think Tottenham Hotspur has what it takes to stop Manchester city from raining goals at them, considering the current form Tottenham is in right now, so I believe that Manchester city will definitely be victorious in this particular encounter, and I also don't think any team can stop them from winning the league at this point.

I know say if no be for crypto, I go just dey in trouble for this country. Because as I dey finish service, I suppose go look for work like other normal people, but this work no dey the country. But what I no understand be why our country dey against crypto. I mean, the government go done see say eh dey help a lot of people nah. Abeg, anybody with better understanding of this matter fit explain am for me, make I understand more. Why dem dey fight against something wey dey bring money and hope to our people? Dem suppose dey support am, no be fight am. I just dey confused, make somebody help me out?

First of all, you need to understand say this our present government, just want people to dy under, they want a situation whereby they can easily tell you to go and steal a ballot box during election, and you will do it whole heartedly without any push back, because you will surely need the peanut they will give too you for survival, And you need to understand that you can't easily manipulate someone that is doing well on his own, someone that doesn't need your money for survival to do your biding, so in essence is that they just want the youth to remain jobless and poor so that they can be used as tools any time they wish, but crypto has been a direct threat to what they really want, because most Nigerian youth have really engaged in it, and it's now making a difference in our financial state.

So in your own case, I would suggest you have a source of income first, before even thinking of investing into Bitcoin, and try all your possible best to gain more knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, so as to know how to navigate your way successfully in the space.
56  Economy / Speculation / Re: Road to 100k? on: May 13, 2024, 10:17:16 PM
I don't know if I'm the only one that have noticed this dull movement in the market price since the halving, I'm just saying from what I've observed. If it was last 2-3 months we would have been seeing a different figure like a new one not a repeated amount like we have seen $62k so many times, now we have Bitcoin price at $63k currently, why is the price not trying to go forward instead it's between $60-63k?  If it continues like this I feel we won't even see Bitcoin price at $67k-$69k, it seems this month isn't going to be productive maybe from the last week of this very month that's when we'll be getting close to $70k.
I totally get what you are saying about the bitcoin price, it's seems like it's been hovering around $60k-$63k for a while now. The market is unpredictable, it natural to have high hopes and envision bitcoin hitting that $100k mark. But instead of worrying about the price going up or down it's important to focus on taking advantage of the market conditions and making smart investment decisions. By accumulating more and holding onto bitcoin for a longer period. Patience is key when it comes to holding bitcoin some investors may choose to sell their holdings based on price fluctuations, while others may see it as an opportunity to increase their bitcoin holdings . Those who understand and believe the potential of bitcoin and believe in it's future tend to HODl and accumulate more no matter the market circumstances. The focus is on stacking more bitcoin and not missing out on the potential gains in the future. Based on historical observations holding bitcoin for a longer period of time, despite price fluctuations has potential of healthy rewards.

At least you're the only one who get what I was saying. Not that I'm only concern about Bitcoin price hitting that $100k mark but taking that opportunity given to us is one of the best I have taken. Sometimes most of us don't really get the main picture that's ahead of us but we act like everything is ok, someone said I should worry about something else and all that but that's not my problem.
Bitcoin price getting to this very amount is like a blessing to those holding and I believe the profit that comes at the end would make many happy. As of then patience wasn't a friend when it comes to me holding but as of now I'm cool with the little I'm holding all thanks to believing that Bitcoin will get to a much bigger amount.
And as for double JG I know he thinks little about people and he doesn't think someone can do better concerning Bitcoin and investment but no need for making him feel special, I never get your time😁.
As an investor you are worried about BTC price hitting $100k but you should have thought higher especially if you are a holder. Having signs of a market rise or fall means you have different motivations that more investors are entering or withdrawing. If one gets too anxious in the BTC market or decides to sell forever he may lose his selling price which may not have any hope of buying later. You should not be disappointed by this slight price drop as you can assume that the price of BTC could have fallen further but is currently at a stable level. Holders have increased care of their stacks for the future until the value touches $150k or more. The reason they care is because they may be aware of the level of long-term investment appreciation. If one thinks that BTC's current price equates to a blessing then it is wrong to accept that numerous investors are directly and indirectly involved in it and it is positioned so high by investing their precious margin. Many investors are not only waiting to hit $100k, they may be setting even higher targets with their BTC holdings.

At first I thought of BTC hitting $50k which it did and I was so grateful about that, later on it started raising and $60k wasn't the target for me but the $100k, is like a step at a time before thinking of something much higher than $100k.
All investors do have their target be you long or short term holder, it doesn't matter and nobody have the right to say you have to hold till God knows when and nobody can question your reasons not holding for long. This is a business space so you do what you think will favor you, I believe we have some who are just waiting patiently for Bitcoin price to hit $70k again. I explained something here and some members are seeing it the wrong way, well is their own opinion.

Don't feel attacked bro, they are actually correcting you, In real sense you are actually right on some part, like when you said everyone has his or her own way of doing things, but you need to know that this approach you are talking of are mainly for traders, and you talking about it here in this thread is totally off topic, this thread is meant for investors, so it's would be better if you take your view to where it belongs, not here.

Lastly, I believe that if as an individual you really want to build a generational wealth through Bitcoin, it's very important that as a Bitcoin investor, you are only thinking long term, because it's only as a long term investor you can fully reap the dividend of your Bitcoin holdings.

Greetings my fellow Naija people.

I don't know why some people are still falling into the traps of those people that will call you for phone or meet you one on one and introduce fake decentralized investment, that if you invest #100,000 you will get #200,000 within a week. Someone came to share with me that there is a BTC investment one of his neighbor introduced to him, that when he invest on it through him , my friend will get double profit from it but the minimum anyone can start with is #500,000 above, that the numbers of people they want in that BTC investment is almost complete, that he came to seek advice from me if such decentralized investment is real. But I told my friend to run alway from them, that those guys are scammers and they don't have any knowledge about BTC investment. Did I give him a good advice ? What is your advice to such person.
Na the major problem be this, Nigerian dy mostly believe most of this Ponzi scheme wey go promise to double ur money by three, four or five fold, and to me, na because of greed, because how you go tell me say if I give ur platform 500k now, in 1 weeks time, them go return the money back in three four or five fold, if na so e dy easy to make the money them for no even inform the general public in the first place, na mostly their family and close friends Dem for dy tell only, so the faster we wise up, the better.

And to that ur friend, you don try for am no doubt, but I still dy marvel say in this present time wey people don wise up, him never still upgrade, to know how scammers dy use operate, na for you to ensure say him no make that kind of mistake, because na ponzi scheme be that, so if him enter, him go regret scarer

Football is full of surprises, but we also need to see the facts.
Real Madrid is the team of the finals and Real Madrid will be the favorite in the final game for everyone.
They have very high quality players, all of them can change the score.
The number of players who can change the score in B.Dortmunda is very few, I can't even count them for you, but as I said, football is a game full of surprises.
When Real Madrid enters the final, this team is almost certain to win the final match. In fact, from 1955-56 until now we can look back at its history that Real Madrid has only been second place 3 times and the remaining 14 times have been first place. So from this we can compare that when Real Madrid enters the final round, they almost always win. And only 3 times in history have they lost in the Final. and it's been quite a while. That is, the last time was in 1980-81.

But I agree that surprises can happen. Because football is always full of surprises. It's just that in the final it is very rare for surprises to occur when it is Real Madrid who enter the final round.

That's just it, almost everyone has practically given it to real madrid already due to their rich history in the competition and their immediate past record of always coming out victorious in the uefa champions league finals as this, and that has makes everyone to already given them the trophy, but they should not forget that nothing has been won, so it's definitely going to cost them dearly if they became complacent and think that borussia dortmund is an easy opponent, because too me, their is no easy opponent, especially in the uefa champions league finals as this.

But if borussia dortmund want to stand a chance against real madrid in this coming final, they have to give all their possible best and hope that it will just be enough to resle the trophy out of the hands of real madrid.

I don't even know what' bayern's officials think this time. They have been heavily linked to the ralf ragnick but it seems like that bayern is changing its target again. I can't really understand what's the main target owned by this club. I mean that if bayern is always changing its target.

This time the club is now targeting de zerbi as a new appointment to replace tuchel that will leave from UCL at the end of season.

Quote
According to Christian Falk, Bayern Munich have held concrete talks over appointing a new manager for the club who will replace outgoing Thomas Tuchel ahead of the 2024/25 season.

The Bavarian club's sporting director Max Eberl is keen on appointing Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi while their former coach Hansi Flick has also been included in the shortlist.
https://www.goal.com/en/news/live/transfer-news-and-rumours-live/blt1ccfda38eda06d5a

Do you guys agree to see zerbi as a new appointment for bayern? Brighton is having poor season this time. I think that if's a gamble by bayern to sign him as a new coach. Why doesn't bayern keep tuchel instead of replace him?

I prefer bayern munich to keep tuchel for another season.

I think that most of this coaches being link to the managerial position at Bayern Munich are just mere speculations, especially in this closing stage of the season, and since it's very obvious that Bayern Munich are very desperate in their search for a new manager, everyone, including managers that is not up to Bayern Munich standard will also be linked with the club, so am not that surprised that zerbi is being Link with the vacant managerial position at Bayern Munich.

And as for Thomas tuchel, I think it's best that he is leaving on mutual consent because his coaching pattern is not that suited to this Bayern Munich side, not that he is a bad coach, No, he is not, but his system is not just suited to this Bayern Munich side.

If you watch Arsenal match yesterday, you will know that they are not too strong to win their remaining matches, because they struggle to defeated Manchester united in their home with 0-1 to achieved the three points that made them to top Manchester city with one point. I think, Manchester city have what it takes to defeat their opponent in their next match, because all their players are fully on ground to display what they displayed in their last match to achieved four goals without allowed their opponent to score a goal from the match. Manchester city performance is increasing in every match, because they have potential manager that know how to use the right players to achieve the right result, and there is a hope for Manchester city to win this premier league title again.
Even though Man City is currently 1 point behind Arsenal, Man City has 1 match postponed and means Man City still has 2 matches remaining in this season. So it is clear that Man City has what it takes to win the title again this season and enable them to set a new record because they managed to win the title in 4 consecutive seasons. But the decision will probably be in the postponed match against Tottenham. If Man City wins this match then of course Man City will immediately be 2 points ahead of Arsenal. And in the remaining week, Man City also seems almost certain to beat West Ham and end the season on a sweet note. But if Man City fails in the match against Tottenham then Arsenal will most likely win the title. because Arsenal will still be ahead by 1 point and Arsenal only needs to win against Everton.

As is stance now, the premier league title is Manchester city to lose, I said so because their destiny is in their hands, if they can be able to win the remaining two upcoming fixture, they will definitely be crown champions, I know that most people wouldn't be happy if Manchester city wins it again, but to me, they actually deserve it, and due to how consistent they are, I don't see them dropping any point again especially in this two remaining fixture.

And as for arsenal, though they will be praying an hoping for Manchester city to drop at least a point for them to stand a chance, but I really do think that is very much unlikely, due to the current form and experience in this Manchester city team, they will definitely  win all  their remaining fixture, and it will be enough for them to be crown champions at the end of the season.
