421  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you believe in savings or investment on: April 14, 2024, 05:45:51 AM
For quite some time now we have been hearing about savings and most people who are working in some oil firm or some civil servants so much believe on saving and their pension. What if those savings are turned into investment what do you think could be their results by now extremely rich or wealth?


The mistake most people make more especially salary earners is believing on savings, saving money is good if one have the motives of acquiring an asset later but in most cases, it is always difficult to maintain a consistent savings lifestyle due to things that might erupt in the future and maybe we use our savings to sort them out. Saving money continuously without planning on owning an investment is a very wrong approach to wealth creation so purchasing an asset is more likely to be productive because it increases in value from time to time so even if you want to sell them in the future, you will make some good profits from it.

Civil servants and some oil company workers always have wrong perception of their earning as they believe that after their retirement, they will use their retirement benefits to purchase an asset but this is a very wrong approach because you may retire and the benefits may not come soon then at that point those who don't have an investment to back them up begins to find it difficult.

Well the price of Bitcoin breaking previous ATH before halving is very significant in the history of Bitcoin and the approval of United States SEC on Spot Bitcoin ETFs is also one of the significant things that happened this Bitcoin circle year and looking at the price movement of Bitcoin since it broke ATH is sending a signal that Bitcoin is going to reach an incredible milestone this circle, seems that Bitcoin is yet to unleash greater things after the halving as we all awaits the greatest event in the crypto market.

It seems the bull run is not going to last long due to how the price of Bitcoin have been skyrocketing without much dip.

Erik Ten Hag is just lucky that he recorded massive success in the first season he was at the club to the extent that the great Sir Alex Ferguson shared a meal with him. If this inconsistent Manchester United performance was in the first season, they would have searched a replacement for him already.
I do not agree that there are no other choices of coaches that could fill the position of coach for Manchester United if Ten Hag is sacked. The management of the club can lure any coach that has shown tactical intelligence with any team they are handling in any competition or league around the world. Some people never knew Erik Ten Hag before he became Manchester United coach.
Sir Alex Ferguson is legendary for Manchester United and have created one of the solid records for Manchester United and making Old Trafford the fortress of triumph. Manchester United knows exactly what to do whenever they're experiencing tough time in EPL. Erik Ten Hag is capable of managing Manchester United but due to the fierce oppositions that wouldn't relent but also tackle the Red Devils down, it have simply made Erik Ten Hag an average coach because both elite and mediocre teams are pulling up their best.

You're absolutely right, United has struggled since the great Sir Alex retired. That man built a dynasty, the likes of which we may never see again. Big shoes to fill, believe me, the biggest. United's tried a bunch of coaches, some decent, but no one's brought back that winning spark.

This Ten Hag guy, I wouldnt write him off so fast. The Premier League, its a tougher beast these days. Everyone's got talent. Ten Hag has some good ideas, but they're not always working. If Im being honest, he's gotta be more unpredictable. He needs some trick plays against these teams that just sit back and defend. Ferguson, now there was a tactician, always shifting, always had an ace up his sleeve. Point is, big changes take time

Manchester United can never forget the impact of Sir Alex Ferguson in a hurry because this is a coach that made Manchester united what they are today and it will surely take a long time before Manchester united and get such a coach again. He is the only coach that understands the football ethics of the Red devils.

Ten Haag is trying his possible best for Manchester united but it looks like his efforts are not working because he doesn't understand the football approach of Manchester United and for a long time now, Manchester united have not been on a winning streak which is a very big blow for the team and since Ferguson's exit from Manchester United, the club have not been able to find a befitting coach for the United team even after employing the services of some notable coaches.

And the score is currently tied at 2-2 because Bruno Fernandes was awarded a penalty kick and he scored two goals. Manchester United continues to struggle to get full points, but the match will soon be over and it looks like the result will remain a draw.
Manchester United were Lucky because Bournemouth were given a penalty in the last minutes of the game, but on review the tackle was found to be just outside the box, and the decision was changed to a free kick. It is not a good result for Manchester United because if that was just inside the box, Manchester United would have lost yet another game this season in the final minutes of the game. I think I like to say it out loud, but there is currently no hope for Manchester United as a team to make it to any European competition next season. Just Like Chelsea, they will only play in England.
Liverpool and Arsenal have a job tomorrow to win their game, Manchester City have won theirs for this week and they did it very convincingly.

It was so bad to see Manchester United struggling to equalize Bournemouth in this game and if not that the tackle happened outside the 18 yards box, Bournemouth would have had a penalty and possibly scored. Manchester and Chelsea continues to struggle in this ending stage of the season and it is very clear that they are most likely not to qualify for European competition next season if we consider the remaining matches before the season comes to an end

Indeed Liverpool and Arsenal have a great task ahead tomorrow because currently now Manchester city is topping the league table after winning Luton by 5:1 and with this huge goal margin is also closing the goal difference between them and Arsenal so definitely they got some work to do tomorrow if they still want to win the trophy more especially Arsenal that have a high goal difference.

Totally wrong you have got it all wrong.

Just understand one thing that a person might be an expert in the crypto domain but new to forum as there is no hard and fast rule or certification that only thos who grow up their rank in this forums can be expert because there is much more in crypto world outside this forum hence you cannot limit newbie to a certain section and there is no restriction as it's free for all.
This forum is not newbies but for professionals that have been acquainted with the space. The forum is probably difficult because every ranked member have a target to accomplish and it can only be possible when they're focused on the tasks available. Beginners have what we describe as beginner's luck and most of them don't always survived the forum because it encomprises of too many risks, who's ready to face them? Been a newbie in the system requires alot of effort to accomplish alot of things.

I understand your point and that is the gospel truth because a newbie in most cases feels inferior and doesn't really know how, what, and where to channel their opinion and sometimes when they make mistakes, majority of the high ranks here attacks them almost immediately without being polite to them and also have that feeling that they were once a newbie before they reached any rank they are now and these are some of the reasons why I suggested that as a newbie that it isn't every section of the forum that they are supposed to get into discussion even if they have knowledge about the discussions there but instead they should learn and read more till they have grown a little in rank before joining discussions there more especially in technical discussions.

First and foremost, im very grateful to be in this forum . I have been finding it very difficult to manage  my offline work and activities with this online forum . Please how do i go about this ?
My advice for you is that you should take your offline work seriously and spend time in the forum at your leisure because your offline activities define you more while your activities on the forum is just an added advantage so you should be more focused on real life and also spare time to come to the forum
428  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin might reach $100k before halviing. What is your exit strategy? on: April 13, 2024, 07:06:47 PM
Having an exit strategy works only if you know the ups and downs very well, if you can guess the peak very well then you could have a proper exit strategy which could work well for you. However, if you have no idea how it would work then why would you want to do something like that. This is why it would make sense if you could just end up with a long term strategy, something that doesn't deal with high volatility, but longevity instead.

Any one who have the mindset to hodl for a long term will not even think about exit strategy even if the price is to reach $100k before halving because if you hold and leave it till the next halving when the price of Bitcoin will pass the previous ATH then you can be rest assured of the amount of profits you could make by then so for you to enjoy the full profits of hodling, long term is always advisable, people that chooses exit strategy are mostly short term hodlers.
429  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: World bank says Nigeria’s 2024 inflation rate will drop to 24.8 per cent on: April 13, 2024, 02:46:19 PM
Merely seeing the naira gaining more strength day by day is a sign that we should be optimistic that things is going to get better though the effect may not be sudden but gradually because when traders begins to see that imported products are reducing in price, definitely they will also reduce the price of local products because if they don't, they know the aftermath because people will literally patronize more of the imported products instead of the local ones .
I know that our government have failed us to an extent that even when everything is being brought with evidence, some of us will still be in doubt but I think that for the World bank to recognize that Nigeria's inflation rate has reduced by 24.8 percent means that there is better hopes in the future so let us not be tired of believing that a positive change is gonna occur in less than no time.
430  Economy / Economics / Re: Farming and it importance to the economy on: April 13, 2024, 01:56:16 PM
Machinery helps you do it faster and better, but it is still about having a big plot of land. You can have all the amazing new machines in the world if you want, if you do not have a big plot of land then you can't make a lot of money.


Farming is very important in agricultural development because everyone needs food to live healthy and have the energy to do daily tasks and a farmer doesn't lack food even if they don't have much money.

The use of machinery has helped farming operations become so easy but it's unfortunate that not all farmers can afford this machineries or even acquire larger lands for farming activities but any how it is you can start from somewhere and as times goes on you may be able to afford this machineries that will make your farming operations more easier for you

How can one draw a line between having fun and getting addicted since they occurr in the same process?

Would education on gambling side effect help some people nor to get too engaged in it despite the thrilling experience it can offer?

To draw a line between fun and addiction in gambling, you need not to always make out time to and focus on other ways of having fun different from getting involved in gambling activities it will make you not to be too devoted to gambling and you won't get addicted easily.

For sure gambling education or creating an awareness of the need to gamble responsibly will go a long way in helping gamblers to stay away from gambling and not see it as an income generating platform so that they won't be spending most of their time at gambling halls and offices.
432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 13, 2024, 01:04:30 PM
The first match of the day will be between Newcastle United and Tottenham. Newcastle have not performed well enough in the league to qualify for the European Cups this season. They had a good performance last season. But this season they are not so good. Last week they beat Fulham 1-0 away. But I can't say they have had predictable results this season. On the other hand, Tottenham have a chance to finish among the top 4 teams in the league this season. They have a chance to be in the Champions League next season. It is very difficult for me to predict which team will win. But I think both teams will score goals in this match because both teams are good teams. In such matches, the audience is the winner.

Am really surprised to see Newcastle winning Tottenham by 2:0 in halftime  because looking at the league table before this game Tottenham was gapping Newcastle with about 13 points but if they lose this match to Newcastle that means the gap will reduce to 10 points although Tottenham is very comfortable in the 5th position they are now but they need to put in more energy if they want to qualify for Champions league next season by being among the top four in the league table.
433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: April 13, 2024, 12:42:27 PM
Atletico Madrid vs Girona today match will be a competitive match, both teams are strong enough in La Liga. We saw that Girona did very well at the beginning of the season but unfortunately their game has changed and they have to come to the 3rd position in the points table. However, currently Atletico Madrid is able to perform very well for which they are at the 4th position in the La Liga points table. Moreover, Atletico Madrid are strong enough and they are currently very excited in the Champions League, so today's match is against Girona with a high chance of victory. And according to the odds of today's match, Atletico Madrid has more chances to win, so they will definitely attack strongly and win today's match.

This match will be extremely difficult because the two teams are closely matched in the league table; Girona is in third place and Atletico Madrid is in fourth. Girona defeated Atletico Madrid in their first match, and they have since defeated Barcelona in La Liga this season. If it weren't for Real Madrid's strong play, Girona would still be leading the league as of right now, but after Real Madrid defeated Girona both at home and away, they forced Girona to give up points that even caused Barcelona to overtake Girona for the second spot. Since Atletico Madrid and Girona are still formidable opponents this season, I am unable to predict the result of this game. If I were to bet, I would do so on both teams to score goals and on either to win or draw. This team has the ability to cause someone to lose their money.
Girona takes the lead again in the early minutes of the match, just as they did in January. But this time the goal was scored on the 3rd minutes of the first half, while in Jan3, it was on the second minutes. Girona looks strong in this match, because it was a good football work that was used in scoring the goal by Dovbyk on the third minutes with an assist from Couto.

This is the 8th goal scored by Dovbyk this season, and I feel that Atletico Madrid will be able to equalize the goal. Girona started the game in a comfortable way by scoring an early goal to take advantage of the game. If the game ends up in Girona's favor, it means that Bilbao will have the chance of moving to the 4th position if they win their match.

A. Madrid 0-1 Girona.
The match is 1:1 as at the time of writing this, I see so much eagerness to score by both teams and they are more likely to score more goals in this game but I see more commitment from the Atletico Madrid side so they may win with what am seeing from the game right now besides the odds are in favour of Atletico Madrid.

If you have any personal accusations about these casino companies you just mentioned why not present a convincible evidence and moreover,  you can open a case in the scam accusation session instead of making the case here and since their is no evidence or proof to back up your claims then it's obvious there is nothing to discuss or talk about here
435  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to be more visible in the forum as a beginner on: April 13, 2024, 10:39:15 AM
OP, all that is needed for beginners is reading. If people can read, they will find sections of interest to them. They don't need to be directed somewhere based on your visions on the forum, just because the forum is multifaceted and everyone has different questions.
But I want to say that you, OP, are confusing the purpose of the forum. This is a forum about Bitcoin, first and foremost. After all, about crypto. For many newcomers, visiting the “politics” topic exists only to accumulate the required number of posts to increase their activity. You can also watch how some of the local sections that people were so passionate about also turn into discussions about their own country, which is basically a far cry from the discussion on the forum. And in turn, it is this section, "Politics,"  like several others that are far from the topic of the forum, that only contributes to an increase in spam.

I totally agree with you because reading and understanding the boards is necessary so that one would not have to make off topics replies and posts so everyone is entitled to any session they find convenient enough for them but for newbies, engaging more in reading instead of making posts or replies is also a good step to learn faster just as you stated.

I think every body has their favorite boards and and it depends on your interests, some people are more interested in the technical board to gain share knowledge about the development of bitcoin, some spend more time in their local boards and i have seen some spend their time in the gambling board so all that matters is achieving your goal of joining the forum.

For Newbies it is still the same, if they are more interested in understanding bitcoin technically then the technical board should be their home and also the beginners and help board. Knowing your goal and finding the appropriate board that suits your goal is the most important thing to understand.

Sure everyone is at liberty to post in any board they wish to so far as they have comprehensive knowledge of the particular board they are engaging in discussion but I am mostly laying emphasis to beginners because no matter how knowledgeable you are in any session, as a beginner taking time to go through discussions on a session you feel is favourable to you is important

Arteta is quite great young coach, he has managed to maintain Arsenal performance for several seasons as one of the strong team capable of dominating the league and has big chance of becoming candidate for the title, even though in reality Arsenal have not succeeded in winning the title.
But yes, it cannot be denied that Arsenal has dominance of young players and Arteta must really make Arsenal performance more stable and consistent with the players they currently have.
I don't know what you mean by Arsenal not succeeded in winning a title in reality but I assume you are talking about under Mikel Arteta because Arsenal have won the league title on several occasions. Arsenal have young talented players and that is exactly some of the things that makes the team unique and vibrant so if Arteta put more effort in developing these young talents, they will do more exploits in the future.
437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stopping the curse of losing streak? on: April 13, 2024, 09:50:18 AM
I’ve been on losing streak for almost 3 weeks of gambling, not daily but in random basis for over 3 weeks. Mostly I play only live blackjack using small bankroll around 50$ to 100$  . No matter what I do, slow play or whatever betting strategy makes me lose since dealer card is always so good around 90% of my game.

What I did is I stop gambling for a week and decided to try different game so that my mind will be fresh and positive. I play slot games and manage to win huge amount that is enough to recover my 3 weeks losses and gain a decent profit. I’m just using small bet on slot games when I hit the huge jackpot.

In conclusion, if you are already having a rough time on playing same game over and over despite you have a good experience on it before. Trying new games to you and taking break will help you to snap out of your losing streak because chasing losses usually make us trap on our losses.



In your case, how do you approach when you are on losing streak so badly on specific game. Does changing game works for you?
Going directly to your question, it is good to take a break when you are experiencing losing streak because it will save you from further losses and also awakens your mind whenever you try to come back again just like in your own case. Some gamblers don't apply this strategy as what most of them feels is that continuous gambling even on a losing streak can peradventure give them a win and in most cases, they keep running into more losses all in the inquisitiveness of wanting to win at all cost.
438  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to be more visible in the forum as a beginner on: April 13, 2024, 08:23:37 AM
Furthermore, I would have loved to include the Bitcoin discussion session because some newbies here literally have some knowledge about Bitcoin before they registered here in the forum but I found out that sometimes, engaging in discussion about Bitcoin seems like one have gotten a previous knowledge about the forum and therefore some users might misinterpret it as an alt account.

Some sessions I feel it's not too good for a newbie to engage in discussion are: The reputation board, Loan session, Meta, development and technical discussion, scam accusation and project development. It is assumed that users who get involved in these sessions are rooted in the forum and has spent so many years in the forum and have experience about the discussions in those sessions so a newbie getting involved in those sessions literally makes them look naive and that account looking suspicious as an alt.
Alright, so in short you're want to say "Hello milkers on Bitcointalk, I will help you to not look as an alt account, so you can milk this forum as much as possible". Roll Eyes

Check this post, it was his first post and he posted in Development & Technical Discussion board, he earn 52 merits from that.

For me, I didn't see him as an alt account, there's a difference between a smart person that new on this forum and an experienced user that claimed to be new on this forum.

Fair enough, as we all want a platform were everyone will be treated equally whether we are new or existing users because a lot of people came into this forum with deep knowledge about Bitcoin and most of the technical discussions here but sometimes engaging in too many deep discussions about the forum as a newbie sounds suspicious in the ears of others.

I didn't take my time to read your post, but from what I've summarized from it is that you are wrong. You shouldn't conclude from your own perspective about how the from works by saying that most newbies who post in the reputation board, Loan session, Meta, development and technical discussion, scam accusation and project development are misinterpreted or called Alts. I've literally not seen any reputation thread here on the forum where members make false accusations. expect for some that were misunderstood. All reputation thread that have been raised always comes with full proof and evidence of linked Alt accounts. So except a newbie is actually guilty of such I see no reason why he shouldn't engage in those sections you've listed above.

Please don't go around passing wrong ideas through the forum as even the board which you claim to be the best for newbies will only keep them hidden(except the beginners and help board). As a newbie, you should be able to know about the boards which you are most likely to be able to discuss and those where you might gain knowledge of Bitcoin and the forum. Those board are the Meta and the Bitcoin discussion boards which you've decided to exempt from your list.

Thanks for your clarification but I take the meta and Bitcoin discussion session because basically the META session includes every necessary information in the forum that one needs to know and the Bitcoin discussion also consist of discussions about Bitcoin which is our major reason of being in this forum but yet it is good for a newbie to gain adequate knowledge before engaging in those sessions.

This forum have really helped a lot of users get exposed to different knowledge from different individuals of great intellectual in the forum, however it is not just only about going through the forum but making contributions in the vital sections of the forum can make a user gain more recognition.
I have come to understand that in this forum, there are sections meant for each ranks in the forum though not limited for any rank to partake in but however, it is necessary for users to understand the sections they are to navigate through, more especially the newbies like us before we are familiarized with some other sensitive sections of the forum.

As a beginner in the forum, the best sections to always engage in are:
(1) BEGINNER & HELP SESSION : this sections usually helps newbies to understand the basic knowledge they need and to also get help from experienced users in the forum when the need arises. This sections makes beginners become more engaged in some discussions here and also widens their knowledge about the forum so constantly going through the beginners and help sections can make a new user become more visible in the forum.

(2) POLITICS AND SOCIETY: this section is basically about discussion of things that are happening in the world as pertaining to world politics and some discussion of things happening generally in the world so engaging in conversation in this section can also make you visible because it is believed that you are updated about things happening around the world.

(3) ECONOMY - This is also one of the most vital sections of the forum because it is also concerned about discussion concerning the economy of the world entirely because the economy is what sustains a country and also makes a country experience immense growth and development although it is dependent on how such a country handles their economy that will make them to rise or to fall. This section is very good to channel one's discussion in the forum because other users will be interested to gain knowledge from you if you have some economic knowledge and possibly ideas to help in a situation of bad economy.

Furthermore, I would have loved to include the Bitcoin discussion section because some newbies here literally have some knowledge about Bitcoin before they registered here in the forum but I found out that sometimes, engaging in discussion about Bitcoin seems like one have gotten a previous knowledge about the forum and therefore some users might misinterpret it as an alt account.

Some sections I feel it's not too good for a newbie to engage in discussion are: The reputation board, Loan section, Meta, development and technical discussion, scam accusation and project development. It is assumed that users who get involved in these sections are rooted in the forum and has spent so many years in the forum and have experience about the discussions in those sections so a newbie getting involved in those sections literally makes them look naive and that account looking suspicious as an alt.

What's the interest of a government to the masses in a situation where the nation is experiencing inflations with a poor economy system and the same circle, the masses are crawling to survive but yet the government feels no remorse and yet they in time increases taxes values and utilities bills making it more frustrating and worsening the situation for the poor masses.

That is the more reason we should work hard to live to our standards because it is only the common people in the society that suffers every harsh decision of the government. We should be able to live a comfortable life that can never be affected by any decisions the government imposes on the people but is just so bad that we keep on falling to the decision of the government even when we have contrary opinion.
