Chelsea team needs a total change in their performance, it's very very shameful and disappointing to see a team that has a good pedigree continue to suffer a set back every season all in the name of the quality of the players that are not in the team right. The game has already ended with Liverpool winning 4:1. For the Liverpool game, they continue to get the win then they can't go down for a any thing hence they Keep winning games . Currently people expect Liverpool to remain as the league leaders but their performance will prove if they want  to win.
It’s just so bad, that bad! Initially, I felt Chelsea would pose much of a challenge but no, they couldn’t come up with anything great. The only time we saw Chelsea trying to posses the ball and come up with a performance was when they were already down by 3 goals. Like, what do you even need that for, you need to be going toward and get the goals.
Like, Mudryk was right there in front of goal, had all the time and space to get his ball on target but instead, he leaned backwards and set his aim to the sky. That was Chelsea been 2 goals down already.

It’s just unacceptable how the team are playing, they don’t play like professionals. I could watch a Sheffield United game and be well entertained than what am having Chelsea play.

Leaders remains an integral part of our societal development in a civilized world. It’s one way to ensure organization and coordination of resources for the popular collective interest of a people. It’s what has pushed the world to where we find it today, different from a time of savagery living.
That’s why, even within the smallest unit of the family, we’ve got a leader.

Good leaders could as well lead to a prosperous state or nation while, you could expect the reverse in a place where you’ve got bad leaders, leaders who remains self centered and sufficient.
It’s gravely exemplified in many nations respectively. It’s easier to follow and so, should a leader choose to better the life of his or her people, you would easily find the citizens following and the change of things for the better.

with this conciousness I decided to do a little research and analysis, I found out that the coin is on a massive decline with a strong double top pattern heading towards the neckline ,which is a strong indication of a future down side move. So in cause of this experience, I learnt a very important lesson , always do an in-depth research and analysis before committing funds to an investment decision.
Just what I wanted to see,
How you came to that conclusion on the coin not being a suitable choice for investment and laid it out in the way that makes sense to you. Using the usual trading analysis on the charts to predict what could be and with what’s been altcoins nature, it’s often difficult to push back once it dumps drastically.

In most cases, people confuse the price (looking at how many they could get for the least $) to be some way to invest positively but it’s not. Some coins are just out there to enrich a few early birds and the team behind the project that’s all.
Before you take up some altcoin investment, you should have an idea of what the coin is out to do in the cryptospace, those behind the coin, what blockchain it’s built on, prospective exchanges and more of those. It aids you to make better decisions than just jumping on the price.

Chelsea goalkeeper is always coming out from his post and Liverpool saw it as an advantage. The second goal that Liverpool scored was based on the fact that Petrovic left his post and before he could go back to balance himself, Bradley had already place the ball in the open space of the left side of the post. Badiashile is on laxity on his wing and Diaz is always putting him on the run because he cannot run. His performance is very poor tonight. The second half has just began and let's see if the substitutes will turn the game around. It would have been - 0 by now but Nunez missed a penalty.
Yeah Chelsea goalkeeper is always fund of doing that without knowing that Liverpool player will utilize the opportunity, however this match between Liverpool and Chelsea is one of the most interesting match today
We might just have a different definition of what an interesting match could be as in today’s match, it was just Liverpool playing, I didn’t see Chelsea doing much to make Liverpool work.

The one goalkeeper that was just out of his post every time was Becker. Like, he even came right close to the midfield at times and what did Chelsea players do about that, absolutely nothing, just nothing. You could imagine Sterling in the second half coming quite close to what could have been a one on one but, he chose not to be stingy while he ought to have gone forward with the ball. He dropped a back pass and the ball was lost.

There was something a little unsettling for me though, the Chelsea denied penalty on Gallagher was it,
Wasn’t that enough contact to have made the referee give that shoot in that moment? Like this was an on goal opportunity and I think with that much knees out and the momentum Gallagher was on, his got to go to the ground.

2-0 ahead of Chelsea at the moment is certainly fine - but Chelsea are also dangerous with all their players' abilities. I hope Klopp can instruct his players to finish the match with a clean sheet - that would be a good record for Liverpool.
I would have liked to see Chelsea as a dangerous team but, from the play they’ve had so far, they could be said to be anything but dangerous. What I see is just a team with complete lack of confidence. In the first half, the whole game was played in there halve of the pitch and when you come to the second half, they found a bit of energy to go forward but, still a team in disarray.
The one player that seems to be getting his steps just right remains Chelsea. He might just be the best player for Chelsea in recent times.
It’s 3 goals now, Liverpool still leading and Chelsea aren’t looking like a team that could manage a consolation goal in today’s match day live. I’ll like to see Palmer on the scoresheet but, his being more of a defensive midfielder today for my liking.

Edit: C. Nkunku just bet one for Chelsea. It’s Liverpool 3:1 Chelsea with 20minutes in the clock.

Luton is a weak team but they have the ability to fight, If you check their match history then you will see they always score goals no matter who the opponent is there is always a goal. Luton once beat Newcastle and drew against Liverpool so it's not surprising if they can win when playing at home, what surprised me was that Brighton was not able to score a single goal, even though Brighton needs more points to be able to take a place in European competitions.
You would fight when your around the relegation zone and most of all, you would fight when your at home and have got the home support with you. I was surprised at how Luton did handle today’s game, getting 2 early goals and still going ahead to score more goals while keeping a clean sheet.

The game I was impressed with non the less is the Crystal Palace 3:2 Sheffield United game. It was an interesting watch for sure, with Crystal Palace coming from behind after conceding an early goal, they came up to find not just an equalizer but the win.

It tells you the sort of quality these guys were lacking with J. Ayew and M. Oliseh back to the squad, even better still, to join up with Eze that have been holding things together. It was a nice one for them and they’ve got all 3 points to show for there efforts.

We all know that is just few months ahead before the upcoming bitcoin halving. And we all know that after or during the halving bitcoin going to undergo a great surge in price. (The next bullish market). But still most people still focusing in trading a certain high percent of their funds while they should be focusing on Holding and using the  DCA strategies.
You don’t trade with or on uncertainties, you trade based on what you perceive to be certain and that is mainly due to what you’ve observed in the charts, your analysis and what the various employed indicators tell you.
Should you have knowledge of the halving and what it could bring, then that’s something to leverage to your advantage. That being, if you know what you’re doing but, you need some practical analysis to get you into that market and not trade based on hunches and what you think could be.

Even so, it’s not a bad idea to hodl should you sense danger in your trading. Your still sure to profit in the end but, it wouldn’t be same with trading as, trading could either leave you with more coins that you can hodl alongside trading or your loss some to the market.

Arsenal team will always find a way to concede in the second half - what a useless team.
Lol… I care very little on Arsenal having to concede, I've got no Raya or any Arsenal defender in my ranks but, they did good for those who had them last GW. Gabriel was just making the rounds and points. It was a hard to believe GW for me, falling below average but this GW seems to start on a good course. Someone I was really looking up to for a goal was Saka and he managed it. So many other attempts from him came with a deflection off target else, some good points would have come off having to captain him.

Still didn’t manage to buy E. Haaland, sure we would be seeing him in this GW? I’ll be watching but, his sure to have his return on my team in the weeks to come, I think.

That’s some great betting tricks; only Fulham vs Everton fumbled ov1.5 in the premier league games today; it was not only fascinating; it will equally top notch too.

The epl race is shaping up and it is not strange to see Brighton or Aston villa fumble games at this crucial point; a small team is a small team, irrespective of their league form
Having to play over1.5 across all games is a bad tactic. You wouldn’t always expected all the teams to have that much goals in the fixtures. There is always going to be that one fixture that wouldn’t surface a goal, that one team that wouldn’t manage it to a both team score and more of those markets. I see it to be an easy way to loss especially when you play this option within the same league. Across leagues, you might have a great pick and your betting skill would be put to practice.

The premier league in recent times don’t leave much space for elite teams and mid tier teams. Although we could always find some teams being dominant, they could fumble when you least expect them to too. Brighton Hove Albion have lost its magic through last season and even more so now, they’ve got no Mitoma, no S. March and some other important players within its ranks. Still, this was a game they could have managed to share points if not win.

Edit: Gabriel Jesus has finally break through the defense of Nottingham forest as he sneak into their defense to receive a throwing ball. A good reward for all that wonderful possessions in this match. He scored with a clean finish on the 65th minutes when the the host goal keeper was thinking that he will cross out the ball.

NFO 0-1 ARS
Yes. Arsenal pocketed 3 points with a score of 1-2. This was a perfect result for Arsenal after Jesus and Saka each scored one goal. Even though Jesus was the best player in this match, Saka was the sweetener, so Awoniyi's goal in the 89th minute did not reduce the number of points obtained.
After playing the whole of first half without a goal, I felt it was going to be just another hard luck game for Arsenal, where they would have all the upper hand, stats to the game but wouldn’t be able to find the winner. Fortunately for the team, the G. Jesus moment presented itself from a throw so unexpectedly. Normally, it’s a ball one would have hoped that, he would drop a pass backwards to fine anyone in the yellow shirt but, it was obviously a moment for him to be stingy with the ball like a striker would, went for the goal and he broke the deadlock.
Saka on the other hand had just the ample of space his been looking for all game and there wasn’t a way he wasn’t going to have that at the back of the net. It’s an important point for them still to keep there hold and it’s one that was well won because, Awoniyi almost took that away from them.

it is another opportunity for Liverpool to add points but I am hoping the match to be a drag between both teams and the game should end draw so that we are going to have more chance of winning the EPL now that Salah is not around since is suffering from injury makes it easier for us to take advantage of the whole EPL and even Chelsea should be able to take advantage of this situation to,  and Chelsea is not even at there best to me they are just a club struggling.
Your first statement that talked about Chelsea being an opportunity for Liverpool to add to there points almost gave me the impression of you having to write off Chelsea. Like I get it, they are not in the best of form neither do they seem like a team with any substantial challenge for Liverpool but, they are tough non the less. Liverpool aren’t looking really bad without Salah, they’ve got the likes of J. Elliott who remains capable of handling the wings, getting those balls in, Luis Diaz on the other flank and Darwin Nunez haven’t been so bad but, Chelsea aren’t so bad as well. They’ve got Palmer who has been doing a lot for the team, getting those shots out, goals and have got Sterling for support.

Do we agree that it is a feeling of pride that they have superior knowledge on issues than others because of their ranking?
I’ll put this in question format;
Will you be proud of yourself should you someday attain the Hero/Legendary rank on this forum? (Don’t need you to answer that out loud though, just to yourself)

Again, the idea that legendary or ranked users have got superior knowledge is false. You might refer that in contexts of the forum and even that could be wrong too. As, not so many users explore every aspect of the forum. Some users stick yo a niche and that’s how the knowledge on the forum is carved too.

Quote
They are most times emotional and personal in their contributions to issues of public concern.

Who else is noticing this attitude as a newbie or member?
Being personal and personal about contributions,,,
Well, haven’t been on the forum for sometime, you get so attached to the forum and wouldn’t like to see anyone ruin the quality of things here. That is no excuse for being any abusive or use offensive words towards anyone just because of their forum rank but, some users just don’t learn from others and having to repeat what have been treated so many times just pushes for a little outburst from those that can’t handle it.

Best thing to do, understand that the forum is global, the diversity in humans and see some of these for some criticism. Focus on what’s positive and grow thick skin.

What is the opinion of members about this? Is it fine allowing members here to promote or mention competing forums without paying this forum owner or taking his permission  ?
That would be some way to put a heavy weight on free speech and by some means promote censorship but, that’s not what Bitcoin is about.

For many, Bitcoin signifies freedom. What would that really mean should discussions and the least things such as freedom of expression be censored in this way just for monetary gains… nope, the forum remains free to air except when it comes to services that tends to bring it in headlocks with the law as we have it with mixers in recent times.

Bu the way, you don’t compete good by placing restrictions on users of a forum against other closely related competitors. It’s an undermining of what you’ve got or is capable of archiving in a highly competitive environment. The focus always should be on what you’re not doing right other than restrictions.
That’s why you can find users on this forum being more expressive and releasing their full potent every time.

It happens at times, what you want isn’t always what you get but the good news is, earn some prominence on the forum and you might have a good chance at changing your user to what is appealing to you with some good reason.

On the other hand, you might want to read a little before laying your posts out there.

I know am new here, but I would like to given a suggest for make a new payment with bitcoin lighting or alt-crypto?

Since we are know lightning bitcoin is able to spend with small amount like a cent.
You know, for one that is completely ignorant of how Bitcoin transaction works and probably don’t own a sat, it’s always a hard to accept position that they’ve got to pay for an evil fee in the supposedly currency of the forum, Bitcoin. Still, it’s the only acceptable but again, having them transact on the LN that most users are still getting to know, it’s even way worst. Many clamor for it now due to the high fees but, this is just for a time.

A means to lay it all plan would be the email which is already in play. Do that and be free of evil fee or not sticking to an intended user.

What truly distinct some individuals from others even within the same level of social stratification is in how much they know, there pursue for knowledge and what they intend to do with the acquired knowledge at an opportune time.
Knowledge is power they say.
We at some point had this misconceptions, these ideas that weren’t true or could be said to be mythical but as we engage in a field, we begin to get an understanding of how we have misunderstood the whole thing.
It’s an ignorance that envelopes a large part of the population still and has become a tool for government, antiBitcoins and critics out there but still, you find them trying to come up with a digital system to finance that seeks to mimic Bitcoin and other digital assets out there.

The forum don help teach many people and e still Dey teach till today. Na handing down and transfer of knowledge between people by sharing watin you know and discoveries. I no go really call am academy shah because, everybody Dey teach and learn. Other than other places where, you go just get some figure heads as teachers. It is what it is and that be, a forum, a community.

Not having to believe that these are been done on a daily basis would be one having to fool themselves as, entities that exists within a jurisdiction needs to have certain allegiances with the government for a smooth operation and through this, surveillance could be conducted on just anyone except for the government officials.
You never can really tell except in obvious cases where your being surveyed and even thought to be erased data would be revamped and used where necessary.
In the worst case, there would always be some policy not within public knowledge that sets the records just right in permits for the government and it’s agents to have access to these data.

Arguably you could say everyone gets what they deserve. The chemist will tell you, every action has an inverse and proportional reaction. Some other times, you do suffer for an action that doesn’t sterns from you but just because, you happen to be at the wrong place and at the right time or at the right place in the wrong time.

Coming to investment, some persons have been able to make their fortune through these shit coins, it doesn’t make it any less a shit coin as there are always victims. In most cases, these shit coins boom for a time and then those who are knowledgeable or adhered to there skepticism enough would withdraw while some others might prefer to wait, some others might see the growth and then invest without been aware that these coins are ready for a turn around towards the dip.

It’s an idea that has beseeched shit coins over the years that, most investors just wants to withdraw once it pumps, this might cause a dump for the project never to rise again. When you don’t share this idea, it’s more like you actioning what might be your downfall.

That’s why, most investors rely on Bitcoin, it’s got the idea of patience always gets you to profits.

This is one over looked skill which is apparently a very important aspect to our daily lives and skills around the world. Most of those who have been able to identify their writing capabilities for a skill, developed on it and utilize it for its best fit have benefited from this over the years.
I like the fact that you’re confident in it and actually realize this to be a skill, that means, you would sort for better.

Skills doesn’t rest on what you could do with your hands and your use of certain tools but also, in how your able to apply the least, not the least because many find it difficult but something as common as writing.

Owning a skill has been some means to validate yourself as a being, one without a skill is like one who is living on just a life line. That tells you just how useful having a skill could be.

So I am need to know, is addiction only bad when it is a problem?

I don’t think we could call it addiction when it doesn’t constitute a problem. It doesn’t only end with you having to visiting the gambling house or site more often but, it’s got to reflect in how you manage your finances and life in general.

Having to gamble often and have no problems in my finance and life simply means, I’ve been able to master the act of gambling to a point where, it has no effect on me and that’s okay. That’s the point where most gamblers want to be. Even though you aren’t winning more often, the fact that you aren’t running into problems, taking loans, not having to take good care of yourself and the rest of issues that could be associated with bad financial management means, you’ve got a good orientation to gambling and that doesn’t constitute addiction.
460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit. on: January 26, 2024, 11:37:21 PM
Trust be told, most of us come into gambling for the very first time with the hopes that, we could win often. The financial benefits becomes the drag but after a lot of failed attempts at a win, you begin to understand that, the markets and odds out there are out to get you. You might win, it’s possible but, not often.
Having that conclusion, you begin to reorientate yourself and check your habits about gambling. Win it comes to fun and financial benefits, the financial benefits always comes first but when you just can’t make it, your attitude towards acceptance should always be, “what the hell” “some days are like that”. Be good!
