Ivory Coast pulled off a miracle in this tournament. They could have been eliminated from this tournament in the early stages but they won the cup. Congratulations to them.

I liked the performance of Serge Aurier, our new signing for Galatasaray. He will come to us as a player who has won trophies. We also need to open a parenthesis for Sebastian Haller. Two years ago he was being treated for cancer. Today he scored a goal to give his country a great victory.
Ivory Coast did do well in the tournaments and even when they were the host they still played well the same time, and both first and second half they were putting a lot of pressure on us and that of second half was worst and i know Nigeria can not withstand such pressure after they scored that first goal they relaxed instead of them to put in more energy into the game if they had scored like two goals then it will be much more easier for them to have won, but they were to relaxed  and they were run over and am sure they wont make such mistake again and even winning second is not bad at all compare to countries they have removed from the tournament.  and congrats to Ivory Coast for winning the AFCON and it was a flawless defeat from Ivory Coast.

18 years old are adult in some countries, they passed the age to restriction to become a gambler, and whatever happens to them when trying gambling out for the first time depends on the results they get, mind you its easy for them to turn into an addict at this young age and I believe that they are the hardest to control.

Young age is a determine age in our lives, whatever we plan to focus on in the age gap we always Want to do it very well, with all our might and strength, it's not good to start this age as a gambling addict, many stupid decisions will follow and not even your family will be able to keep you away from gambling.

Until you reached your last level and you decide to give up yourself, and by the time you realize this it could be too late already, maybe you would be way more older at the time, wasted your life opportunities away because of gambling.
And most of the countries 18 years is already an adult, and like my country they don't really give relevance to the 18 years regulation, you will see even under 18 at gambling shops and does that even have phone will be gambling secretly and nobody will even know, and most of them would have learned it from there parent and that is why allowing your child see you gamble is not a good idea at all,  and that first result is what ginger some people to continue gambling, and that is when some people will latter become an addict and that is why the first step you will determine were you will land either you will become an addict or not, and if any you person is discovered a young person gambling they should be discouraged. Because even now they are trying to discourage adults to stop gambling and young once are still going into it that is not ideal.  and we know it gives opportunity to make money but very risky.
403  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can you make everybody to win in their crypto trading? on: February 13, 2024, 11:04:26 PM
Technically yeah, but we also know that it won't happen. I can buy at 1 and sell at 2, you buy at 2 and sell at 3, the other guy buys at 3 and sells at 4 and this keeps going on forever. As we all know that the prices will not go up forever, that requires holding a bit when the price falls, but if the price falls then someone sold and someone bought so it negates. Trading has losses in them and its fine, there is nothing we can do about it, we shouldn't be really worried about it and we should be considering this as normal, there is no reason to just skip through the loss part and just focus on the profit part. You lose, and you win, and in return you sometimes end up with better profit ratio.
i don't think that is possible because how will everybody win in crypto while even those who are winning are still battling with a lot, concerning trading, so every trader always has one challenge or the other, and you have a good point about selling at different prices not everyone can hold to the end because some people might just get small profit and the next thing will be to sell. as the price is going up it will get to a point it will crash so everything about bitcoin is making use of the opportunity which is just two buying and selling that is the two opportunity that crypto has. and if some people should lose does are the things that discourage them from continuing in their trading but it is not supposed to be so if you don't win now you can win later that is bitcoin for you.

I can see your friend does not have any knowledge about bitcoin, because if he does, he will not compare bitcoin with gambling. Bitcoin was developed for everyone, but you cannot force them to use it, so don't argue with your friend again; just keep on accumulating your bitcoin with the DCA strategy. One day he will see the evidence of you holding bitcoin for the long term, and then he will want to learn about bitcoin, and it might be too late for him.
They are difference in bitcoin and gambling doing futures is kind of similar to gambling and aside from that they do not have anything in common with gambling, and gambling as sent  a lot of people to trenches just because of addiction but if you are addicted to trading it is a good sign because you won't lose much money and you might get it in return in the next trading and if it was supposed to be gambling then if your money is gone it is gone, there is nothing that can be done to get it back so by far i would not even advice anyone to give gambling a trial instead of wasting much time on gambling the person should use that time to learn about trading. i don't have anything against gambling but always control your greed and that way your finance is secured.
405  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Farmer's Bitcoin Investment on: February 13, 2024, 08:49:45 PM
As a farmer, one must understand the risks before investing in bitcoin it has both positive and negative aspects. If you invest without knowing well about bitcoin, you will lose money. One of the benefits of investing in bitcoin is that the investor can profit when the price of bitcoin is high. Bitcoin should be considered an uncertain investment and its value can go up and down. Also, there are risks of bitcoin hacking and crashes and should be fully clear before investing. That's why you have to take the right decision by gaining knowledge about the market.
Am even surprised that someone who's a farmer still has time to invest in Bitcoin, and if that is the case the dos and don't need to be understood before investing all the money gotten from farming and losing it to Bitcoin, the person that advised that farmer should better advise well, the farmer should understand that even during is farming there are years that it is abundant and there are years that the farm might not yield plenty so is bitcoin there periods the investor and their times that the person expectation will not be met so this are examples that will make everything more clear for the farmer since bitcoin does not select. CRASH is one of the risky things about bitcoin and that is just the nature of bitcoin.
406  Economy / Economics / Re: Is increase in minimum wage a good method to fight inflation? on: February 13, 2024, 03:36:39 PM
Increase in minimum wage can be used to ease the pressure of inflation that increase in price of goods and services have on government workers. If the minimum wage has been increased, this will help the government workers to be able to be able to have more money to pay for goods and services after there have been rise in the cost of goods and services. But this is not the way to fight inflation, it is just a way to reduce the effect of inflation on government workers.
The moment that minimum wage is increased then their will be a shoot in the price of commodity and that is one of the reasons the government is always considering while deliberating on the issue of minimum wage. And more inflation we set upon the people, and the economy will also be affected, and even with the so called financial expertise the economy is still suffering. We know the usefulness and we know how beneficial the increament will be in the lifes of the government workers, it will be better if the government can  regulate the price of goods, it will be much better than increasing the minimum wage that is in my own opinion.  Because even how financial advisors are falling.
407  Economy / Economics / Re: Opportunities During Economic Downturns? on: February 13, 2024, 01:44:00 PM
It cannot be denied that in the current era looking for work is difficult due to the general and ongoing decline in economic activity where we are really required to free ourselves by making changes in strategy and this needs to be done and attempted. I see that some people in my area are making efforts to open new businesses which are essentially always needed in everyday life and initially they focus on the short term and when they start to grow and develop they will target the long term.
As the times change so is everything changing about work and a time is coming when people will not even bother about work Again but how to establish there self because they will weigh there options very well starting from the salary that is is not even enough for people as there up keep and the world that is changing is changing with the fact that people's eyes must be opened and starting changing plans against either if they want to still continue the job hunting or look for something else to do with there time.

Since we all have accepted that the world have changed what are we doing towards it in terms of improving our selfs, and this is even a technological era, no job creat one for  your self, and that is why I always encourage people even young graduates to create SmE for them self and that way even the issue of unemployment can be reduced.
408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you quit gambling for a friend? on: February 11, 2024, 05:44:35 PM
if he is a good friend, yes of course I will be willing to make sacrifices with him, I mean if he is someone special to me, but if not I will let him be because it is not an obligation, because sometimes it will cause problems if we reprimand our friends even with the aim of which is good, so why should I bother taking care of my friend's life
And it is only a good friend will advise you to quit gambling, and that will be the reason that he has seen the damages that gambling is causing the person must have gone out of control for the friend to give advice, and if I have any friend that gambling a lot I will just advice them to get a job and leave gambling for the main time because some people don't want even to work again. It is not as if they are winning. and I don't mind if my friend gets angry just because of the advice I wanted to give him about something that will help his life, and one of the solutions is if the person should get a job then the person will even find if it more difficult to have time to gamble, but if the person is idle then expect anything from such people.
409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Selling a property to play gamble on: February 10, 2024, 06:57:11 PM
a very careless act, gambling has ruined his life and also damaged family relationships for quite a long time, luckily his parents were generous and forgave him, maybe he comes from people who are quite well off, if they were poor people I'm sure his parents will not forgive him, this makes us more careful when gambling so as not to let our desires control us
I wonder why people will take such a risk, It is as if people do not know how expensive, it is to own a property now and this act shows that the person is not responsible. and if the family finds out about it they will be disappointed gambling is one of the most irresponsible things to do because you lose more than you earn. owning a property is an asset that can appreciate so losing something as value for a gamble is the height of irresponsibility because you won't get it back. and when the person knows he does not have money what is the reason for using the house to take such a risk? I would love to meet foolish people like that on the street because they belong to the street. this shows that gambling is risky and it is not for some people at all.
410  Economy / Economics / Re: Poor people need solution now on: February 10, 2024, 06:34:10 PM
There is no way everybody in the country can live well without no poor people in the society because everybody has his or her own desire at the moment and for you to reduce such issues to allow the people to feel the positive side of the economic, is to invest more on agriculture, industries, roads and institution which are some of the things people are lacking these days.

Once there is a surplus industries in the world, it will definitely reduce poor people in the world because those industries will be accommodating numbers of people in the world to eliminate poverty for people to live a good live.
poor people can not be eradicated, because even all the complaints tabled towards the government can not be solved, because the issue of people started ages ago and till now we still have them and a good percentage of people in my own country, and I always think that most of the poor people are comfortable with there situation if not because of that, they would have looked for something to do. there are times when the government has shared motorcycles and even farm machinery and people will end up selling them, so who is to be blamed that is why some of them are still in their condition. even if all industries are built some people are just lazy and will not want to work, people that don't like their condition will look for a way out of that condition.
411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 10, 2024, 05:57:22 PM
It is very likely that Girona will end the season in the second position looking at the current state of the league and the fact that they have both “Girona and Barcelona” played 23 games so far and Girona is currently gaping Barca with a total of six points. Secondly, ending the season in the second position still do matter even though they are not the champions, but it will encourage them to try to go far the next season and still attempt to lift the trophy.
It is looking that way already because if you look at it, Girona is already falling behind even if they did not win at least they tried even far better than Barcelona this time around the defending champions are now the once defending the fourth position and I was even surprised that they are still in that position, Barcelona did not do well this season at all even aside the points Girona showed much better consistency than Barcelona and from the way things were going it was clear that it is either Girona or real Madrid that will win the la Liga and that is what is happening now. and what they have played recently will even give them more winning mentality and experience, don't be surprised that you see Girona winning this season just because they were prepared.

Manchester City managed to defeat Everton at home with Haaland's goals.City managed to play a dominant game against Everton, but I think City didn't want to push too hard because of the champions league match to be played in the week, otherwise they played with the potential to score more goals against Everton.
Another title contender Liverpool host Burnley at home.Liverpool started the second half fast after a 1-1 draw in the first half against Burnley.Liverpool scored in the second half to go 2-1 up.Liverpool are playing more dominant than their opponents and will most probably win.
The feeling was strong that Everton could not defeat Manchester City they couldn't perform such a mission, and the way I predicted so it happened I even expected more goals from Manchester City, and the surprise was Haaland, single handily scored the two goals, and I was impressed, but if it Haaland then expect anything from him and even couple with the fact that I don't like him but he his good, always have a good time always to score. and the pressure was even much on Everton but it was expected since their squad looks complete then it will be hard to win them. and if it was that period that K. De Bruyne sustained injury then it will be easy. they know Everton is weak against them and that is why they did not even put too much energy into it. because of the other games coming up, they are trying to reduce the energy they put into it. and even Liverpool won their game this shows that is a good sign coming from both teams tonight.

When we say HOLD it doesn't mean it will be forever, sometimes we did this because it was needed. And this actually necessary when investing Bitcoin as we hold during price correction and sell them when we get the satisfying price. Holding is not difficult but for some people, this could be a big challenge for them and why? As we can see, not all investors become successful in crypto and that is because not are willing to wait. Impatient people doesn't like doing this, they'd rather prefer to lose some $ than just waiting. Imagine, if we all knows how to hold and patient, we all become rich already but the opposite things happen as only a few people manage to do it while others are giving up when crisis comes.
Might not be forever but it will be for a long time, if you want to make a profit and like this period the price is taking correction will benefit a lot of people bitcoin is already 47k today, and am sure it will get a new price very soon. and those who have waited patiently will make their profit people will still wait and still not sell because halving is still coming and that event will still have its effect on the price, I don't think anyone will be satisfied to sell now, they are still another price to be accomplished before selling it, not everyone will make it the same business, especially does that did not wait, and if you invest and you can not wait then what is now the point of investing in the first place because when you even talk of safety holding is the best.

The act of growing vegetables , fruits, or any crops that can be used as food is like printing your own money. I say this because you no longer need to buy food using government currency since you already have it. Perhaps that's a significant saving. However, if you were to create your own currency to be used by others to purchase food in your community, this idea would be illegal, especially in our country, and could result in punishment and imprisonment for us. Perhaps it would be better if, instead of insisting on not using the currency issued by your government, you simply resort to a barter system where food is exchanged for other goods or services.
I don't know why people love to look down on agriculture knowing that it is one of the ways to live a poor life if we want to look at the reasons why we work, is just because we should be able to feed so instead of working or even relying on, work to be able to feed, but with your farming and having your small garden in addition, in everything about life food comes first any other thing comes second, then comes health, we need food first. and aside from consumption, you can also sell out of it and that is one of the reasons that I always love agriculture. I don't think any government will allow you to issue your currency, and if we all can go back to agriculture it will be of serious help to us, and even reduce the price of food stuffs from the market.
415  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HODL bitcoins, you can do it! Look at HODL camp map to build up strong hands on: February 09, 2024, 11:52:15 AM
One of the best means to make a profitable Investment with bitcoin is when we decided to hodl the coin for some time, this is not because we are not interested about using it to serve for its purpose as a digital currency we use for making payments or as a means of exchange, but we wanted to hodl all because we also have the opportunity of using bitcoin as an asset we could Invest on hodl for a particular time to yield profits instead of turning a liability provided we have the tenacity for doing that.
And if you hold for a long time then you have, it is holding of like ten to more years and that is what holding is supposed to look like, see a lot of people now when they hold for maybe one of two years they start complaining and the next thing you will sell this thing is strategic and you have to invest with a reasonable amount for you to be able to archive that kind of goal because having bitcoin worth of maybe worth 100 dollars and you holding for 10 years you won't have any significant profit, and that is a newly discovered thing for me if you want to buy, it is better to buy some significant amount of bitcoin.

people who hold will not even want to have any business with using it as a currency, their focus should be the profit they will make over the years, I wish I could even open my own mining farm someday that will be a wish come true.
416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss on: February 09, 2024, 10:27:40 AM
it will really be a big problem staying around family that doesn't encourage gambling because they are definitely going to stereotype such person and will most likely push such person away because they feel such person is not a responsible person and will mess with his finance and by extension their own finance aswell which has in turn affected them,  but then whenever some one is observed to be addicted to something in any form it's usually better if they start in time to get help for such person both professionally or other way so that such a person don't get to the point they will be seen as out of control.

Gamblers or generally people who are involved in one habits or the other that could be addictive, shouldn't wait until they are sent out of their home or they have become a problem to the society before they will be able to seek help because at such point it becomes difficult to help them.

I do not think anybody's family will tolerate gambling addiction because of the dangers it comes with, and they will not even in any way trust the person because gambling addicts are also become involved with drugs There Just very few gamblers that you will notice that are not into drugs, and that is why the family members will try as much as possible not to have anything to do with people like that, so self might start stealing, if they continue to gamble and they don't get what they are supposed to get in gambling they will start stealing peoples property.  and to some extent, I don't blame people who see people who are addicts as being irresponsible because the habits they show are those of a person who is responsible.

The problem with addiction is that it will first destroy your finances and then go for your mental health, and if you are finished financially then where will you start from am sure there are people who have lost everything just because of their addiction, and if people like that they serious need help and might even need a therapist for them to recover their sanity and will find it difficult to stop if not helped.
417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 09, 2024, 09:39:28 AM
I think City will be champions this season. The deciding match will be against Liverpool in March. I bet City will win the EPL competition this season. Their performance is very good and we can see that with the recovery of Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne, City will be very strong. I hope City will return with a complete squad in the match against Everton later.

And if City is playing against Liverpool city might have the best chance to win against Liverpool and if Salah is not even back then it will make things worse, and people talking about City and Liverpool I hope you guys have not forgotten that Arsenal is still very much available and we win against Liverpool gives us more strength, to be able to challenge anybody we want, it looks like we are getting back on track. I know a lot of people still have an assurance that Manchester City will still win the EPL but I do not think that is certain yet because the battle this season is even more difficult for them than last season, I don't know for Haaland but de bruyne i can say there is a possibility that that guy will always continue to be a problem to there opponents.

If we consider Liverpool and Manchester City both won their games until facing each other then yeah. The game between these teams will probably be the most important one for the league title.  Smiley

Because until then Manchester City will have played their missing game against Brentford at Etihad. Probably they will win without much problem as well. This will already help them take the lead by one point from Liverpool. Therefore Liverpool should have been able to stay solid against Arsenal at least in defense.  Sad  I didn't like Alisson in that game either as he conceded two simple goals.

And if they face each other Manchester City will win and then maybe a draw, and even if we don't win the trophy I will want Liverpool to win it let there be change Manchester city has been the one winning it, and even the champions league I don't want them to win it also, and the missing game of Manchester city against Brentford is just another easy one for Manchester City. and Arsenal is there to look for ways to also penetrate the two clubs if it is not for the lack of consistency for Arsenal they will win today and lose tomorrow and that is not what we need now.

In this country, the bills are increasing so you just have to look for a means of earning, so that you don't disappoint yourself you will always want to meet your expectations and is not as if those people overworking themselves are deliberately doing it don't they have just do it. because you must eat, and the situation of the country now is looking as if everyone is on their own. and every person in this country is looking for better ways to be financially free, or even if you are not completely free, to be able to settle bills I love the dedication that the youths of this country come with, they love hustling, when you go to streets and you see what is happening then you your self will be motivated to actually put more effort.
419  Economy / Economics / Re: Coping with Risk. on: February 08, 2024, 09:16:08 PM
between building a business and investing, both have risks, but the risk can be lower if the person understands the business or investment he is working on. for example, when he builds a business he understands what risks are associated with his business and how he should behave towards it. and the same goes for investment, what things need to be done so that the investment can run more safely and not cause losses to him.

if he understands the risks in the business or investment he is running, he should be able to overcome the risks associated with what he is doing.
They are both good and you will make money from both of them, but you can not avoid the risk, if you understand your business makes everything flow well for you because it is not necessary to even build a business, you can at the same time invest, instead of building for example now people that are into agriculture, you don't need to farm but you can invest by buying and keeping and when the time is right you can sell, and that one is even more preferably and less risky compare to farming that anything can happen, talk about erosion and maybe pest infection and other diseases. and there will be other examples that can be given, so with all this just shows that I will want to just invest than to just build and with the experience and what I have seen.
420  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Learning comes before earning on: February 08, 2024, 08:49:36 PM
It’s always the basic to learn first so you will be competent enough to earn and save. When there’s no learning, you will have no idea how to earn, and you will have no opportunities to earn as well because you’re not knowledgeable on the first place. Learning comes before earning, that is if you don’t want to fall into series of mistakes and losses. Unlike newbies today, they all lose at first before they come to realize to prioritize learning in the first place.
if learning were not important then we would not have given so much importance to foundation classes when we were taught how to sing, and other courses in the foundation, this shows how important the foundation is, back to trading you learn and you earn that is how it works, and some tricks can even use to even earn but if you don't learn the formal procedures then you will find it easier, and you can take opportunities, there are plenty of them so is just for you to know exactly how to take advantage. there are a lot of mistakes that can be avoided.

Not everyone can handle the risk that investing comes with and they don't want to learn, and there is no miracle that can be performed, is just for you to seat down and be ready to learn and that way you can earn, and you starting does not even guarantee that you will make money.
