4161  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: It's become hard to understand altcoin movements. on: February 26, 2021, 03:27:00 PM
Quite a lot of things are happening on the Bitcoin network, the influx of institutional Investors, only but little price corrections as well as the Bitcoin community hoping that sudden significant plunges/'bubble burst in Bitcoin price is all but over, I think all this creates a change in the network and makes it somewhat difficult for alts to follow the BTC trend and establish a price movement that traders could easily follow.

Having said that, it wouldn't be a bad idea to just pick a couple of good altcoins, ethereum for example and hodl for the meantime, while still studying the trends to see if you could establish an acceptable/working strategy, following the trend at this time could incur losses for you. Ethereum is doing quite well in the market, it has broken it's previously held ath, and it's community is ever growing, it's a very good option amongst alts to hodl for the long term.

I think the best thing for any user to do when they prolly get busier IRL and can't make posts on the forum should be to willingly leave their signature campaign, explain to the CM their present situation, so that in the future they could still be accepted by the said manager, and then face squarely whatever is keeping them busy IRL. Periods of inactivity isn't bad, one can always make a return to the forum whenever things clear up, but deleting, and recycling previously paid posts to be paid for it over and again is plain avarice, cheating the campaign/company, playing on the campaign manager as well as everything dishonest.

Manchester Utd need to win this desperately not to be left behind more by City. If City lose points in the match against West Ham, it will also be a chance for Man Utd to reduce the point difference. However, Chelsea have been really great in the recent times. They haven't lost for 6 matches in the EPL and they defeated Atletico in the CL match 1-0 last. I am expecting both teams to score and a tie at the end.
A draw between United and Chelsea will fall in favor of Manchester City, City are up against a very strong West Ham side this season, but I have no doubts that they'll be put aside by Pep's side, City are absolutely so strong for the rest of the teams in the league, I think City's next loss could even come when the league is already wrapped up and it's no longer possible for anyone to finish above them, it's going to be a top four race for the rest of the top teams soon.

Having said that, Liverpool face Sheffield United, and after a good performance in the CL in mid-week, they'll have to win this game against relegated threatened Sheffield if they are to have any chance of finishing in any of the top four positions.

"I would suspect, down the road, that a number of central banks will have digital currency," he said. "When there is a digital currency available, other than the underground economy, it’s not clear why people would use bitcoin."
Of course quite a lot of countries and Central Banks will launch their own CBDC's, but the misconception there is that it's going to hamper Bitcoin usage, initially people had that thought when talks on CBDC's become popular, but it's obvious clear now that CBDC's are simply going to be digital Fiat, that'll be centralized and controlled by the central banks.

Having said that, the Bitcoin community will no doubt continue to grow, it already is, institutional Investors now believe in the network, so people and more people will continue to use Bitcoin, it guarantees control, freedom, it's a hedge, a currency and other whatnots, Bitcoin will only continue to get more popular and not the other way round.

...I thought BTC would be corrected yesterday so that it can be bought at a cheap price.  It was only for a moment.
If MicroStrategy and other institutional Investors continue to buy Bitcoin in thousands like they are doing atm, prolly the price as things stand at the moment could be considered 'cheap' in relation to what the price could be in as many months. I think that's the very reason why MSG and other investors are harnessing every little opportunity that presents itself via corrections in price to acquire more Bitcoins and add to their stash, we could have a somewhat unbelievable BTC price come the end of the year, I think hodl and accumulating more during a correction is absolutely worth it.

Atalanta 2-1 Real Madrid         
Monchengladbach 1-1 Manchester City
You're predicting an upset in both games then, cause on paper City and Real should get easy victories tonight, well I know it's football and anything is possible, but I can't give Mochengladbach a chance in today's game, I think City will be too strong for them, and they could end up conceding two or more goals.

Real Madrid on the other hand aren't having the best of seasons, neither did they perform well in the group stages, I think Atalanta are a decent side and could prolly cause Real some problems today, a win for them looks too much if you ask me though, I think this game is going to end in a 2-2 draw.
4168  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM ALERT] DogeCoin Fake Giveaway on: February 23, 2021, 04:28:27 PM
Scammers have now shifted to Dogecoin as well to perpetrate their giveaway scam, I think this is cause of the endorsement by Elon Musk, it created a certain amount of hype and demand around Dogecoin, which caused Doge to appreciate in price, and thus making it's holders a target. It's a good warning OP, I think people are already quite familiar with BTC fake giveaway, but maybe not so with Dogecoin, so it's good to preempt them about it.

I haven't checked the scammers address yet, has any funds been sent to the address as of yet (any victims?).

I've been wanting to get my hands on the employees, but they have  not been accessible.
This is not possible, if you have any problem with your coinbase account, you have to first contact their support team for assistance, tell them your problem and see how they react to it, in any case they don't address the problem suitably, or they do not reply to your messages, you can drag them on their social handles and create attention to your issue.
My wallet was emptied by a Coinbase Employee
How sure you are it was perpetrated by a coinbase employee, are you sure you've not been hacked, prolly your account details fell to the hands of scammers, who thus imported your funds into their own wallet.


Having said that, it's pertinent to follow the scam report format, and add more information and details about your case.

Monaco had a win yesterday against Paris Saint Germain by performance and result,
But what is important in this Is this result going to help Barcelona?
The answer is yes and no !! Yes, because that means that Remontada is possible and that Paris is a team that simply loses at home, and not because that means that the result of the go round was perhaps due to the weakness and fragility of Barca and not because of the terrifying strength of the Parisian club as we saw it !!
I second that as well, I think this current Barcelona can easily concede four goals and even more against a couple of teams in the UCL, City, Bayern (as they did last season), and as we saw last week, PSG, Barcelona are in a pretty bad state, the fault starting from those at the top of their club hierarchy down to the players, if some things aren't fixed in the club, I think we could see the complete fall of the great Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea = draw 
I also think a draw is possible in this game, it's either a win for Athletico Madrid or the game ends in a draw, I think Chelsea would try to be (too) careful and not play their usual flowing game, and it could lead to a somewhat boring and tight match, but we'll have to wait and see after 90 minutes what kind of match we get.
4171  Economy / Speculation / Re: Ongoing Price Correction on: February 22, 2021, 06:44:25 PM
This is not even close of the correction we will have in the next few months, i think the crash will be even stronger than 2018, the difference is that now the new Bitcoin lower price will be above 15-20k.
Tbh, this basically looks like you're just circulating FUD, what makes you think there'll be a crash/plunge worst that the previous ones, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there is no possibility of that happening, but with the latest 'events' going on in the network, one being the influx of institutional Investors, as well as public endorsements from prominent individuals, chances are high Bitcoin has gotten over it's 'spike and plunge' syndrome, and is rapidly reaching out to become a 'global market'.

Imo, this is no more than just a price correction, I'd not fret over it. There will be a high level of FUD now that Bitcoin is above 50k, small corrections and people will be forced to sell and take their ROI, but such people do not believe in the network.
4172  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto market too big to ignore, says Nigeria SEC on: February 22, 2021, 06:31:41 PM
I think that the CBN and SEC have had a rethink on the earlier sanction that was imposed on crypto, basically they should be in the know that just stopping Nigerians from using exchanges doesn't mean an outright ban on the coin, as P2p trades will still go on unhindered, I don't know if the Nigerian government is only trying to create attention to themselves with all these news about Nigeria and crypto for the past two weeks now. How things are at the moment, it seems the ban will be lifted and replaced with some more regulations, which ironically have already existed prior to all this furore, as exchanges have always requested for KYC from their customers, and that's as far as the Nigerian government can go for now.
SEC are more in charge of crypto related matters, probably they might have been convincing CBN what they are getting wrongely. Like CBN saying cryptocurrencies trasactions are anonymous, is that true. CBN information on cryptocurrencies are almost wrong, in which the SEC have more information that are true which have been making them to embrace cryptocurrencies
Isn't that the more reason why the Nigerian government and the CBN ought to have consulted with the SEC before issuing the earlier sanction, imo, Nigeria as a country has bigger problems than worrying about crypto usage, the economy and the Nigerian naira is in a pretty bad state, they should stop firing at the wrong target.

4174  Economy / Economics / Re: Could Bitcoin Smash Socialism in Venezuela? on: February 21, 2021, 11:13:31 PM
Venezuela's situation could closely resemble nigeria's. In the future we may see nigeria's central bank roll out its own cryptocurrency identical to venezuela rolling out their ill fated petro years ago.
Imo, this countries are 'firing at the wrong target', both the Nigerian and Venezuelan economy has definitely seen better days, thus I don't see why their governments should stand as an opposition to decentralized cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin acts like a sort of panacea to the problems of quite a lot of citizens from this nations, and the thing is, it could also positively affect the general economic situation, when citizens make 'extra' funds, they could start small-scale businesses which invariably becomes a plus to the nations microeconomics, and also, basically just having more money to spend (which Bitcoin provides) is economically beneficial, and that's the same reason why some countries give out stimulus bonuses.

Having said that, I think it's a really counterproductive decision for a country that's battling with inflation, hyperinflation or a comatose economy like that of Venezuela to work on launching CBDC's, cause it's still going to be controlled by them, and backed by either their constantly devaluing fiat, or whatever resource the country has, that's still already affected by the said inflation. It's a misplaced priority if you ask me, the Nigerian/Venezuelan government should basically just allow Bitcoin thrive in their shores as they seek ways to awaken their near-dead economy.
4175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 21, 2021, 03:12:17 PM
Mauricio Pochettino wants to reunite with Tottenham and England striker Harry Kane, at Paris St-Germain if France forward Kylian Mbappe, or Brazil playmaker Neymar, leave the French side this summer. Given the current financial crisis in football, it seems that PSG is one of the few clubs that has no restrictions on buying players.
There is so much talk of Mbappe leaving PSG, of course Kane will be a good replacement, but at what cost, definitely Spurs will put over a 100 million pounds asking price for Harry Kane, PSG by the way are the sort of team that can afford to spend that much on a single player, if this deal ever happens, it'll be in Harry's benefit, he's a world class player, and he needs to move to a team that can win and compete for the best of trophies.
It looks like Mourinho's job will be very hard when it comes to staying at the club in the next season. They had many awful results in the league so far.
Mourinho isn't having the best season possible as Spurs boss, but imo, he should be given another season, Spurs started pretty well at the beginning of the season, and quite a lot of pundits thought they could prolly go on and win the league, but all that has changed in the last couple of months, and spurs will even most likely not qualify for the UCL, but the thing remains that Jose is a winner, he could actually bring some sort of success to Spurs if he's given more time to work.
4176  Economy / Economics / Re: Nigeria will overtake India in P2P on: February 21, 2021, 02:01:01 PM
The Nigerian government have banned the usage of cryptocurrencies, and the only good thing for the crypto community in Nigeria is that they have to fall back to P2p, and thus they do not have to submit KYC details to exchanges, and they'd also not leave their funds on exchange wallets, which is 'sinful' to do.

Having said that, the number of crypto users in both Nigeria and India is growing at a pretty fast rate, and imo, it matter less which is leading in P2p usage, as long as, the demand for Bitcoin appreciates in the two countries, adding to adoption; what's most important is that the newcomers who'll have to buy Btc via P2p understand the risks inherent in it, as well as learn what the security protocols are, cause P2p is somewhat risky for newbies.

...The owner must be thinking to change the head coach, is possible to change it in the middle session?.
Sacking Klopp this season isn't possible, no matter the position Liverpool finishes at the end of the season, not after the success of the last three years, I know they are currently having a disappointing season, but it's part of the game, pep had two fantastic seasons with City, and then the next one was pretty bad as they lost to Liverpool with a wide margin, but here they are again currently bossing the league, so Klopp will definitely be cut some slack, they are already out of the title race, but still in the CL, if they win it, then the season isn't bad afterall.

Having said that, it's 'Master v apprentice' today, as Arteta faces Pep, Arsenal are going to be made to work pretty hard if they are to get any point out of this game, City are beating everyone, and I think their next victim unfortunately is going to be Arsenal.
4178  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: What remedy if exchanges keep abusing, lock of acc, belligerent on acc recovery on: February 20, 2021, 07:50:32 PM
The first remedy you should know of is not to hold your funds in an exchange wallet, they are in control and not you, they could take arbitrary decisions that'll not be in your favor, and if you're going to use exchanges for trading or other whatnots, then start of with small amount of funds and after trading, only leave an amount you can afford to lose on their platform.

Having said that, if you've contacted their support with no positives, it's normal cause it's always difficult to get a good response from exchanges support team, you can take your issue to their social handles and drag them out with it, no organization likes negative publicity, you can try that out and see what it'll yield.
4179  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: February 20, 2021, 01:02:01 PM
The previous coaches delivered EPL trophy, FA cup, and the League cup but still got their arse kicked out because the owners wanted someone to bring them Champions league to put their name on the elite list.
Mancini and Pellegrini both won one epl title each and a league cup each, pep has done more than that, in a more resounding, dominating and domineering fashion, pep is not just winning leagues on goal difference like Mancini did, he is conquering England, breaking records left, right and center, that's what's different, pep is going for his third EPL title, he has won an unprecedented domestic treble and hasn't let go off the carabao cup since he came to City, pep is making a difference. Of course, the CL is so important for City and I'm sure pep is going to deliver that, and even if he doesn't, he still remains a huge success at the Etihad.
Man City defense is still weak, what's keeping mancity is the compactness of their midfield, it's very difficult to penetrate, once you are able to expose the midfield then winning them is easy.
Are you kidding me, City by far have the best defense in England this season, Pep's team is always compact, and chase down the opposition immediately they lose possession, but even with that, if your defense is weak, you'll concede cheap goals, and that's been City's undoing in the past; are you following the progress of Dias and the rejuvenated Stones, they are somewhat impregnable, IIRC, City have conceded only 15 goals in the league, and very few in the UCL group stages, even Laporte is a rock anytime he plays, if you're closely following this season, you'd see a massive improvement in City's defense and that'll be the deciding factor for them to win more than just domestic trophies this season.
4180  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Remember today's date 19th Feb, 2021. BTC crossed $1 trillion marketcap on: February 20, 2021, 11:45:55 AM
It's a pretty big deal. I remember just a couple of years Apple reaching this milestone, and Bitcoin seems so far from it. And just after a few years the price jumped up, pushing BTC capitalization up. Now we need a boost of Bitcoin users because adoption is still at a pretty low level. Even more so, we need to remember that Bitcoin is not about investments returns, but about a new type of money. Unfortunately, it seems to me that when the price is rising so incredibly, it overshadows Bitcoin's purpose as money and also sheds light on a serious problem with Bitcoin as money: really high transaction fees.
Imo, adoption is gradually coming up, there are now more institutional Investors ready to put funds/reserve assets into the network, also amongst the non-Bitcoin community, you can sense a growing trust in the network, that's why there is a rising case of FOMO; Bitcoin has a variety of uses, of course we all know it's money/currency that it's users are privileged to be their own bank, but that's not just the only purpose, and none is working to the detriment of the other. The use of Bitcoin as an investment option is what's creating high demand for the coin, that's also what's causing this appreciation in price as demand continually increases, imo, by simply buying btc for investment, you're also using 'our' own form of money, whether you use it to process payment or not.

Having said that, all the many uses for Bitcoin, the very better, I use Bitcoin for a myriad of purposes and that's what makes the network unique and pushes it's growth and adoption.
