421  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge on: February 28, 2024, 07:42:03 AM
Who's in?!?!?
I’m in!

I just came across this post today and i feel like i have been missing a lot all these while since the start of this challenge. i think maybe bitcoin hitting $100k is speculation especially as no one knows how soon it will happen but i am so interested in this challenge because i am a person who loves push ups. Although since the start of this year i have been so busy, lazy and carried away that i have not been able to carryout my normal routine of push ups but seeing this challenge now will definitely be a good help and motivation to start my pushups routine all over again. I hope i am not late in this challenge starting today.

100 push ups down today which was split into 3 sets of 40, 30, 30.
I just noticed I couldn’t go 60 straight as i used to due to my laziness of recent but i know in 2-3 days i will be back to my full capability.

I also prefer doing push-ups on my knuckles as I think it saves my wrists from a lot of stress.
I also feel more comfortable doing push-ups on my knuckles, i feel more in control and it saves me more energy.

Finally a Full member
Never thought I would get this far but fortunately I did
I know it might be less of achievement to some but to me it's alot
It shows to me that growing in knowledge isn't for naught.
Still recall the past when UTXO,Segwit and the like felt foreign to me
But now I'm even using them.

That’s how it feels at the beginning, it will feel almost impossible to grow here but as time goes on it will become easier after you have learned and understand the ways of the forum. Acquiring knowledge is what most newbies take for granted but it’s the most beneficial thing that will help you grow here in the forum, if only they knew.

This forum will teach you alot especially when you are new to bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general but only for those willing to learn. I am glad you are one of those that was able to withstand the challenges and backlash as a newbie and be able to achieve this milestone. This is not the end of the road so you should not feel relaxed but rather be motivated to move higher in rank and in no time you will be surprised how far you would go.

Congratulations to you on your latest achievement, it feels good reading the milestone achieved by other members here and i feel like i am missing out a lot for not visiting this thread more often.

Best to just hold Bitcoin since from your explanation,  interest generation is your main goal,  this is very important and for sure there are a lot of limitations with stable coins
I don’t think he is ready to take the risk as investing in bitcoin could go either way and I don’t think he is ready to run at loss so saving up in bitcoin is not ideal for him/her. It will depend if he wants to save up for a long time or a short period and if it’s not money he would need for his daily activities.

Sometimes I begin to imagine instead of transferring my money into the bank to keep for a number of days or months before usage in form of savings that nothing will add up instead it remains stagnant or the bank charges me even more. Is it not better I save them on a stable coin such as the USDT?

Please what's your opinion on this?
You need to understand that USDT is a stable coin that is pegged with dollar price so if you are a US citizen then there is no use saving in USDT because the value will still be the same but it can be profitable when you are from a different country where your country’s currency value is less than the dollar value. Take for instance The dollar rate comepared to my country’s currency Naira keeps increasing with time so a Nigerian saving in USDT can be profitable.

It is true that VAR have been making some errors lately but what do we expect? VAR simply stands for Video Assistant Referee which comprises of some set of people who assist the referee to review some decisions and so on, so since we know that humans are the ones that assist the referee then mistakes and errors are bound to happen because no one is perfect. Some decisions are very difficult to assess despite using VAR to review them and it seems only AI can be perfect to make perfect decisions on tight situations just like the Goal line technology.

AI would be the perfect solution to put an end to all this drama because no human can be perfect as AI. People will not say some clubs are being favored anymore.
425  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The shocking rate of women interested in gambling. on: February 27, 2024, 12:07:08 PM
Yeah, women gamblers are increasing in number due to online casinos but I don't think they can even compete with the number of male gamblers. I don't think that even 1/4th of gamblers are women so I guess male gamblers will always be more in number because women aren't much interested in gambling as males and they really don't want to win and earn, they can easily take whatever they want by controlling their own husbands and boyfriends.
Of course male gamblers will always be more than female gamblers because the kind of things that interests men are different than what interests women and if you observe closely you will understand that only a little percentage of females are interested in game like this that why there are not much women that participate in gambling.

I am so surprised how the number of female gamblers keep increasing nowadays, i have come across more number of female asking me for betting games and tips and whenever they do i get surprised how girls seem to be more interested in betting now because they used to slander it in the past. I don’t know for other countries but in my country i think it’s because of the unfavorable economic situation in the country, everyone wants to earn something for themselves not knowing gambling is not the best place to turn to.

He didn’t make such a direct comment, he answered, when asked who he would like to become teammates with between Messi and Ronaldo that he would prefer to be teammates with Ronaldo because Messi is more of a playmaker just as himself and Ronaldo is more of a striker so as a playmaker all he needs is a striker and not a playmaker. He also mentioned that if he was opportuned to play alongside Ronaldo he might probably end up being the player with most assists in history because of Ronaldo’s clinicality.

Of course Al Nassr are linked to De Bruyne but I don’t think an official offer have been made but i do believe he is likely to join Al Nassr if an offer is submitted. It would be nice to see these two play together so we can witness some mind blowing combo, and if they eventually play together it would be a huge boost for the Saudi pro league.

De Bruyne is special and world class and i would love to see him partner with Ronaldo before they retire.

Whether he made that comment or not, never in the world would De Bruyne decide to go to Al-Nassr because Ronaldo is playing there. How ridiculous would that be? We are talking about one of the best midfielders in the world and that guy isn't a little kid anymore. Mbappe said that his idol once was Cristiano Ronaldo, but does anyone think that Mbappe would therefore go to Al-Nassr now because his dream as a child was to once play together with Ronaldo?

Seriously, but this is kindergarten in my opinion. Even thinking that is ridiculous. These grown up world stars follow their own path and if that path means crossing ways with Ronaldo, then so be it, but other than that they have their own careers and would never in their lifetime make such a decision. De Bruyne has definitely other plans for the next few years. I don't think the time has come for him to disappear into the desert of Saudi Arabia.

How old is De Bruyne? He is 32 years old bro so it’s just as you said he is not a little kid anymore so sooner or later he will get to a retirement age where he wouldn’t be valuable and relevant in Europe anymore and to continue playing he would have to decide whether he should retire or play in a league where he would be valued and relevant.

De Bruyne is already old and we can see that from the way he plays, it is obvious that he won’t play active football for a long time anymore just as it happens to other players. When a player gets to a retirement age all that is important to them is how they can make more money for their families when they retire so I don’t think De Bruyne would reject an offer from a Saudi team when he draws closer to retirement. It’s the best thing to do and Al Nassr is not a bad team, they have good quality players now and they are currently doing well so i don’t see any reason why De Bruyne wouldn’t want to join them.
427  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 26, 2024, 05:46:50 PM
...
Kevin De Bruyne had one time said he'd love to play with Cristiano Ronaldo before he retires so I do feel like his next destination would be Al Nassr definitely.

If De Bruyne said so then maybe he could seriously think of leaving if an offer comes from Al Nassr FC.  It is very enjoyable to watch him in Europe now so I would really like him to stay for another season but let's see.

He is one of the most critical players for Manchester City now. You know he is playing a huge role in the team to be more productive. After his recovery from his injury he started to play like nothing happened. This consistency is another great thing to see about him. I would be curious about with whom Manchester City would like to fill his place in case he decides to leave this summer. It isn't easy to find a special player like him.  Sad
He didn’t make such a direct comment, he answered, when asked who he would like to become teammates with between Messi and Ronaldo that he would prefer to be teammates with Ronaldo because Messi is more of a playmaker just as himself and Ronaldo is more of a striker so as a playmaker all he needs is a striker and not a playmaker.

Chelsea was very successful in their playing style to drag Liverpool to the final minutes. Their intention is to determine the winner or loser with Liverpool through a penalty shootout. They have practiced a lot for this, but it was unlucky for Chelsea because Liverpool has Van Dijk. It must be added that Chelsea's attackers missed too many opportunities in this match, and losing the cup was quite unfortunate.
We cannot evaluate Liverpool's ability to win the Premier League just through this match. It is true that there are still many things Liverpool needs to improve for the upcoming sprint, but their ability to win the championship is still very much there. Mancity also has their problems, whenever they stumble, both Arsenal and Liverpool can overcome and win.
I am so disappointed in Chelsea after fighting so hard to win the match but in the end they failed to win it and it is even more painful that they lost the match in the final minutes of the extra time. Chelsea are so terrible at converting chances else they would have won the match, they had lots of chances but they wasted it all, Gallagher was worse of them all only him could have scored an hattrick if he converted all the opportunities that came his way.

I just knew with all the chances missed by Chelsea they will definitely be punished for that and they were punished. Both teams played well and i give credit to Liverpool players for fighting till the end despite missing a lot of key players, it would have been a different story if Salah and Arnold was available for the game. The young players did well and also Liverpool goalkeeper made some impressive saves and kept Liverpool in the game.

Chelsea needs to improve in their attacking department else they will still suffer next season, they keep missing chances which is very bad for the team because the midfield and defense seems to have improved lately but the attackers keep drawing them backwards.

Recently i have observed that some new from users are unable to develop consistency in their contributions maybe because they feel that their opinions are not relevant ,lacks quality and many more .
It’s normal for new users to have a challenging start when they join the forum, it is supposed to take time to understand the forum properly except if maybe they are not newbies as they claim and that’s why if a newbie account starts making valuable contributions and acts as though they are familiar with the forum, it starts raising suspicions and people start to think they are alt account of an already existing user which leads to the account being investigated.

The forum is actually a very tough place ,but the only way to survive it's toughness is when you are consistent  in your contributions ,patient and also try as much as possible to  eliminate phobia .
It’s not so tough as you make it sound, it’s tough for those who are so eager to rank up and and want to skip the learning process and just want to make contributions to the community. A newbie rank is supposed to learn first but nowadays they get eager to move up the ranks and by doing so they will be criticized alot making them think that the forum is tough on them. The forum is a discussion forum and without having knowledge on topics discussed here it will be very difficult to make valuable contributions or even interact here.

I think the result sums it up perfectly and when you have a look at the game statistics, it is what Napoli is all about this season. They have the ball, they are trying hard, but they can't win the games. They are superior in some respects, but fail to make use of that advantage most of the time. This is again a real Napoli game this season.
Everything seem to be going wrong for Napoli, they are trying their hardest to regain their momentum but it is proving to be difficult for them, they don’t know what the problem is but i still think it is the effect of the coach that is pulling them back. The former coach that resigned actually had a lot of effect on them, they have been struggling since he left the club and as a team their performance have declined drastically.

The players are doing all they can to step but it’s not just working, Victor Osimehn is also doing all he can to elevate the club but all his goals doesn’t seem to be counting.

Liverpool can beat Chelsea in this match,
This is a final so no one can be certain about who is winning. Of course Liverpool are currently better than Chelsea in terms of form but being a final Chelsea can come up with a surprising performance as they have always done in bigger games just like they did against Manchester City in both legs. Liverpool are the favorites but we shouldn’t write Chelsea off easily.

The final is always difficult, there is only one match, it is a big responsibility, the cost of a mistake in such matches is too high. For Klopp, this match is important because this is his last Football League Cup final, and of course he would like to win, and for Pochettino this is an important match because this may be his first trophy in the team and his first significant result in this team, which is so It will be a very important victory.
Both teams will approach the game with extreme caution because any mistake can be a costly one and in matches like this there is no room errors. It will be an interesting match and I don’t think it will be dominated by one team as everyone is predicting Liverpool to humiliate Chelsea, the match is important for both sides so both sides will approach it with utmost seriousness.

Casinos are making it more fun and advanced by introducing more games giving players variety of options to choose from to improve their experience in the casino. We are all different so it is normal to all have different preference of games that excites us more or games that we are good at and understand better. It is important to identify games we are good at and stand more chances of winning so we don’t end up wasting our money.

Having knowledge one several games is better because you will stand more chance of winning bets. I have seen a lot of people participate only on football games because it is thee only sport they are good at and understand the concept so it is not a bad idea to bet on football games because it is where you have higher chances of winning games.

As for me i focus mainly on sport games which are football, basketball, cricket and boxing. They are games i understand more so i prefer to stick to them. I sometimes play regular casino games but not so often, i prefer Aviator to others because it is fun but also very risky.
434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 25, 2024, 12:03:01 PM
Barcelona won with a strong play and left no room for surprises. Even though their claim to the championship ended a long time ago, they show that they will not give up second place. When Xavi leaves, he wants to at least finish 2nd in the league. It was also interesting that Barca scored 4 goals today and Lewandowski didn't score. Fermin Lopez was finally able to score another goal. Lamine Yamal didn't take time today.
Barcelona was impressive against Getafe despite missing a couple of clear chances which could have extended their lead further but it was all down to Getafe’s poor performance and high line defending, I don’t think playing such defensive strategy against a team like Barcelona was ideal because they have some few decent attackers that are capable of taking counter attacks and it could have been worse if Raphinha so good at converting chances.

I never believed Barcelona would still be able to secure the second spot after some inconsistent performances in the past but i guess this is La Liga, a league owned by Barca and Madrid. Girona have not been at their best lately but they still have the chance of retaining their second place if they win their match coming up tomorrow. They have gone too far to lose their second spot after giving up the first place to Real Madrid.

Xavi is not a bad coach and I believe he would want to prove a point before leaving the team, if it is not possible to win the title at least ending second place is not a bad achievement for the club.

Despite his age, Ronaldo consistently displays remarkable skills. His Transitioning from the Premier League to La Liga, back to the Premier League, and now to the Saudi Pro League, he has excelled in each league, leaving a lasting impact wherever he goes.
The professionalism of Ronaldo is just on another level that is why he is still able to display what he is doing at this age, he is the kind of player that will decide for himself when to retire because it seems he is not caught up with age like other players. He always shows immense impact wherever he plays, he proves himself in England, Spain, Italy and now Saudi Arabia, he is currently leading the goal scorer chart and also probably leading Al Nassr to the Asian Champions League final.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored for Al Nassr again and he will have two AFC Champions League quarter finals with Al Nassr. He is going to continue chasing for more titles with Al Nassr.
With their performance I think they should be able to win a trophy for themselves this season, their performance is fantastic so far this season, all players are having a good season and beating almost every team they face. Al Hilal have been their most challenging opponent so far and they have lost a couple games against them, the only team i think is better than Al Nassr currently is Al Hilal.
436  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Start preparing for the next bear run. on: February 24, 2024, 11:33:06 AM
I have observed that the rate of posts on buying Bitcoin in this bull had increased greatly. I once read that people are always attracted to invest in Bitcoin when the price is going high. We see more people buying Bitcoin because of the fear of losing out. I know that we can buy bitcoin at any price we can afford but it seems these investors are more concerned about this year's bull run.
I noticed it too, how people are increasingly interested in investing in bitcoin now that they have observed a rise in it’s price. Investing due to FOMO is not ideal as they are merely investing without a detailed investment plan of any kind, some might even be investing without any knowledge about how bitcoin works putting themselves at risk. These kind of people are those that freak out and panic when the price eventually starts dropping and sell their bitcoins, they lack understanding of how bitcoin works which will always result to panic sells and loss of their investment.

From my little experience with the Bitcoin Investment system, the best time to buy the coin if you are targeting to make a profit in the bull run is during the bear run. The price is cheaper and you can make a good profit within the four-year circle. At this period you don't need to rush to buy because of FOMO but you can comfortably buy at your own pace using the DCA or other strategy that suits you.
People who understand the the concept of bitcoin understands that the best time to invest in bitcoin is during the bear market when the price is low so as to make profits during times like this that the price is high. Buy low and sell high to make a reasonable profit is what everyone is aimed at, the higher the price when you buy the lower your profit would be. The concept is quite simple so i don’t understand why people would wait to invest in bitcoin when the price is going up, instead buy when cheaper and hold on to your coins and wait for the bull run.

A lot of advice have been given regarding the best time to invest but i feel no matter how hard we try to educate there will still be those who would ignore our advice and still choose to invest when they see the price shooting up.

Yeah Liverpool's players are mostly dominated by B class players, but they can perform because of Klopp. If Klopp left Liverpool, Liverpool will back to a mediocre team, just like Chelsea. Klopp isn't only become a manager in Liverpool, he's control everything. So if the new manager only work as manager's job desk, there will be a chaos since they need to change the system or the manager need to work hard like Klopp.
Alot of teams now are scared of changing their coaches especially when they already have a good coach that is performing well because it is difficult to get a good manager nowadays. I also feel Liverpool might suffer just like Chelsea and Manchester United have been suffering to have a good coach if Kloop should leave unless they are lucky enough. They went through similar situation until they found Klopp and now i just hope history doesn’t repeat itself again. They are rumored to be linked with Xabi Alonso but no one knows for sure if they would be able to get him since there will be a lot of competition for him and also Alonso has no experience with managing a big club so there is no assurance if he can continue what Kloop has done.

438  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Are you Benefitting or not benefit due to Dollar increase on: February 22, 2024, 01:03:47 PM
I have come to understand that no matter what condition people are in or a country is in there are still people who will be able to benefit from it. Naira/Dollar rate have been increasing and everyone is complaining as the price of things keep rising but i still think there are those who will not be affected by the inflation but rather they will be benefiting from it. I think a good example will be those who earn in dollars, the dollar rate will be to their advantage and they will not be bothered about the inflation. The economy is getting worse and just as we are praying it gets better those who are benefiting from at hard times will pray it doesn’t gets better but majority of people get affected so e go make sense pass if dem neutralize the inflation.

Because i am benefiting from the dollar rise doesn’t mean that i will wish my country bad and not want them to recover from this situation.

Some stories are really sad. Addiction comes from God and it’s unfortunate how difficult overcoming it becomes, be it gambling addiction or any kind of addiction it is not good to become an addict because you will act blindly just to engage in such acts while neglecting the effects it will have on them.

people get addicted to gambling when they gamble for the money, gambling is supposed to be for fun and not for the money. It is when you gamble for money that addiction grows gradually because after every loss you would want to recover your losses and gradually greed will step in making you lose more money and with the intention of recovering your losses you become addicted to it.

Addiction should be prevented at the earliest stage because it’s difficult to control and overcome and to do that we need to approach gambling the safest gambling practices which is to gamble an amount you can afford to lose and avoid gambling on a daily basis.

I'll give you two examples: Garreth Soloway ( featured in Kitco a few times ) and Davinci ( early Bitcoin adopter )
They both shorted Bitcoin at 50K - 49K. And quite likely they're both getting liquidated soon.
To me it simply goes to show anyone can be wrong, and you shouldn't be certain of anything short term.
Experts giving their opinions about the movement on the price should be regarded as a prediction just as other people also predicted a different price because being an expert doesn’t mean they control the price they just seem to have better understanding of the price movement. Different people give their own opinions and predict a price but only few will be close to the price with their prediction that is why it is advised to always carry out personal research and have knowledge about the movement of the market while trading and not just follow the predictions of other traders so when they are wrong you wouldn’t blame it on them when things turn out differently. Being an expert doesn’t guarantee 100% success in trading, experts can also get it wrong and run at loss sometimes.

Most professionals keep their trades secret and never post it live. If you are good at your job you don’t have to post your trades online to get likes. Those types of people most of the time don’t know what they are doing.
you’re right, i don’t also take people who post their trades online seriously, i think they only do that to get like and increase their social media engagement. It is a good professional ethics to keep your trades secret and not share your trade signals online and I wouldn’t refer to those who share them online as professionals.
