Of course, in terms of winning the league, but for the smaller teams, like Aston Villa for example, if they win today, that'll be five wins (100% record), with a game in hand, and it already makes it kinda impossible for them to be relegated at the end of the season, except they experience a really terrible capitulation; as five wins is already more than half of the games they won in the entire last season (9 IIRC).
Lol, that's not beyond Roman Abramovich, Lampard should be given more time imo, even if he does not deliver anything this season, jurgen Klopp was given quite a while at anfield, before he was able to land the big trophies for Liverpool.

Hello Yoshie, you seem to be interested in altcoins for the past few months now, as I've seen you ask some questions about some of them for quite a while now, it's cool though, but you need to invest with some caution. Altcoins aren't really coins for long term investment due to how they can pump and dump pretty fast; I'll use DeFi projects as an example, majority of them have plunged so bad in the last weeks, and have lost their hype and value, this has led to users questioning DeFi if it actually has come to an end.

As for this Balancer coin (BAL), I've not really heard too much about it and despite the fact it could be doing well now, you cannot be very sure it'll continue like that, you can play around with it with a small amount of your funds for the sake of it. Finally, BTC is on a run now, I think you should rather consider increasing your Bitcoin portfolio, we could be heading for a new atm soon. Cheers Yoshie.

Too early to say that imo, there's the UCL, laliga and Copa del Rey up for grabs and if you ask me Real Madrid should be able to get one of them, is it even possible to write them off from getting more than one? It's a bad start for Real in all competitions, but we've seen this happen in the past, and they still end up having a good season. I trust Zidane to get things right again. There's no favorites for now in the UCL, except prolly Bayern, but Madrid is always a team with the possibility of winning that trophy, as they've done on numerous occasions, more than any other team actually.
Bayern were simply the better team, the loss had nothing to do with Luiz Suarez or his impact in athletico, imo, he actually hasn't been bad since signing for them.

It's so bad that this agents of the so called special anti-robbery squad also have their own Bitcoin wallets, there have been numerous occasions when they stopped young men, went through their phones/devices and found btc wallets such as electrum or other types and forcefully transferred btc to their own wallets, it's that terrible here in Nigeria and the government have done nothing about this for so long, that's why the protests is as heated as it is now and heading to a revolution the way things are moving.

This criminals in police uniforms have done more harm than good to the country, the government is one of the corrupt in the entire world, the last thing the masses needs is police brutality to add to that, and that's why citizens are as bitter as they are at the moment, the protests started peacefully, but atm, things have turned violent and there's been so much killings already, if this movement will oust the government and bring about a better Nigeria for Nigerians, then it has yielded something unprecedented.

When you give out your residential address to a website, then you expose yourself to the possibility of a $5 wrench attack, and we've seen that happen quite a couple of times, plus those that go unrecorded. I don't know the website called SwissBorg, but I know that users data are usually sold on the black market, and if you complete KYC on some sites, there's no way to be sure yours won't be sold.

Users have given informations like this, only for their mail box to be spammed with phishing links that they click and their device gets compromised, imo, I think you should stop anything KYC related, it's your responsibility to protect yourself and to uphold your privacy, whatever use you have of the site may not actually be worth your private data/info being sold to scammers/hackers.

Congratulations and thanks to you too for trying as much as possible to post HQ stuff that teaches users on the forum something new and original, and that's what makes a user worthy of earning the merits that you've earned in just this span of time; I read all the threads in your op when you initially posted them, and they taught me something I didn't know before then, and I'm sure other members had that same feeling, that's why they didn't find it difficult to merit you every now and again.

I'll advice you continue this way, not just to earn merits or to get to Legendary rank (which is next), but because you want newbies and other ranks as well to continue to learn a lot from your topics, be it about Bitcoin, their privacy, protection, the responsibility they owe their funds, wallets they ought to use, etc, great job mate.

+1 to that, just take a look at James Rodriguez at Everton right now, it looked like his career was over at real Madrid, as he went on different loans, but didn't really shine, nor did he get himself back in form, but since he moved to Everton and reunited with a manager he loves to work with: Carlo Ancelloti, his performances in the four games Everton have played this season have been outstanding and imo, thus far he's looked like the best player in the epl (I mean in the games played so far).

So despite Mesut Ozil's age, I think he should move to a different club, no matter the cost, a paycut or whatever, what should matter to a footballer is that he is doing what he loves most, and that should be playing week in, week out. The more he stays at Arsenal, the more it looks like his career is over, Ozil gave assists for fun back then, it's crazy .

Yeah, this phishing is pretty dangerous for users who keep information about their wallet stored in their mail box, or any of their private data/info, the scammers will use it to either compromise their wallets or to ask for a ransome if they get any useful personal data about the person, that's why as a rule of thumb, anything of your crypto stuff that can lead to your wallet imported elsewhere, should either be written down safely somewhere or if saved on a device, it should be offline.

It can't be repeated enough that users should not click on random links, and should always verify from the official website whenever they get a mail that requires then to click on a link attached to it to be sure it's a legitimate update or whatever. Clearing your mail box is also another good practice imo

Imo, this is not an acceptable proposal/advice or recommendation for a newbie, trading is not what a newbie should jump at just to share trading experiences (for the sake of merits or anything at all). Your post may not mean this, but newbies can mistake it to be, and get the wrong message. Users should trade cause they feel they have gained the knowledge to do so and cause they want to make profits from it, sharing trading experiences is not bad in itself, but mind you that if a newbie trades just to share their experiences and expect merits, then they can start trading without having knowledge, make no ROI and lose all funds in their wallets.

Checking and double/triple checking addresses before sending will solve this issue, and tbh, I don't see a reason users should rush when sending funds out of their wallets, knowing fully well that the transaction is irreversible and if sent to wallet that doesn't support the coins, the support team will most likely not help you recover your stuck coins.
Many investors are not learning or researching about this DeFi or even anything they invest in, they only put their money where the hype is and expect ROI, since DeFi started alluring investors, quite a lot of people have been losing money on it, and we've experienced most of the projects plunge in value quickly, investors still putting money into into DeFi atm, I believe are fully aware of the risks in it.

For crypto to be the only means of payment/buying and selling, that can also be interpreted another way to mean there's going to be the absence of governments in our society, for as long as we have a government ruling over our countries and the economy, fiat currencies will definitely continue to be used.

Cryptocurrencies are decentralized so it's not something the government can control, print or distribute as they please. Thats why there's always going to be a centralized means of payment, which happens to be fiat for now, whether it's digital or online fiat means, but it's what the govt can control, nonetheless adoption in Bitcoin will definitely increase as the years go by, but it and other dex cryptos will most probably remain alternatives to fiat currencies.

Looking at City's game yesterday, pep Guardiola's men still look short of their best, it was a good defensive performance from city, but they were hardly sharp when they attacked the gunners, city have played four games and scored only seven goals, that's quite unlike them and poor based on their standards, I'm pretty sure pep will be asking his boys to improve their sharpness going forward. Kun is obviously back, with Jesus, Laporte and Kevin to join the squad in the coming days, City still remain my title favorites for this season.
United's game looked set for a draw, I was surprised they got 3 late goals, so if not anything, it shows character and good fighting spirit and that will take some of the pressure off OGS. That being said, Frank Lampard looks to be under some pressure himself atm, dropping unnecessary points in this early stages isn't good for him and Chelsea at all, plus he knows Abramovich has little patience with managers .

Fiat currencies are pretty 'vulnerable' to inflation and hyperinflation, but imo that doesn't mean that everything about it is bad or that Bitcoin is a better form of "money". Don't get me wrong, I know that Bitcoin annuls the interference of a third party and gives it's users responsibility and control of their funds on the network, but it's also a speculative asset, what about it's risks concerns and how volatile it can be, etc, all this is also a bad side and anti-Bitcoiners never fail to bring it up to demean btc.

That being said, the both forms of money is useful in our contemporary society, Bitcoin and Fiat, Bitcoin can be used as a hedge to fiat when it's losing value/depreciating, which is a great opportunity for Bitcoin users, but mind you that fiat currencies still remains a necessity, be it in our daily activities or to meet basic daily needs and other whatnots, they (Bitcoin & fiat) serve different purposes and diversifying your funds in Bitcoin and Fiat is the best option.

There is no 'special' or strict security protocol required before you can create a Yahoo email address (neither is the domain even security conscious) and the website doesn't have to be hacked or compromised. Mind you that when the scammers create their scam email addreses, it's not possible for the website (domain) to know their intent and that it'll be used to spread phishing links, that's why it's important to report this addresses so they could be marked as a scam email address.
Imo, just deleting the message and reporting the address is the best thing to do. If you want to confirm whatever was the content of the mail, go through the official website of the company, exchange, wallet etc the scammer was impersonating.

BTTS looks certain to play out in this lunchtime kickoff game looking at how Everton have started this season, scoring many goals, while Liverpool are always expected to get at least a goal per match, but Merseyside derbies are most times tight games, the passion and intensity increases when Everton and Liverpool face each other and sometimes it produces a very tight game with very few goals, we will see how the both managers approach this match, but from a neutral point of view, I want to see a free flowing game.

That being said, Arsenal look like they can grab something from their game with City today, with Kevin de bruyne out, City will definitely miss him in their midfield, though Sergio Aguero is back, but City are never the same without Kevin, last time out, Arteta beat the 'master' in the Fa cup semi-final, do you think he can do the same today again?

Users need to have a proper and efficient backup of their seed phrases, having it in one place and end up deleting it is pretty careless tbh, as a Bitcoin user, if you feel comfortable storing your seed only in your device, then you must make sure the device is offline and also understand that something bad could happen to your device unexpectedly, for example it could be stolen, formatted mistakingly or could malfunction at anytime, so having an additional backup written down is very necessary.
More reason why Bitcoin users should either have a hw wallet, or more than one device, one to keep wallets, store seed phrases and everything that has to do with their crypto funds; while the other device for their online activities/other whatnots.
