Like you, I have been following the pattern till today, it's still very much valid and might remain like this in months as the monthly chart confirms a bearish trend too. It was delayed though, this is normal in some market conditions, that's why it's always good to be patient with your view, especially when there is no viable opposite pattern formed to counter your expectation.

One thing I have noticed about the technical analysis, particularly on the long-term disposition is that, no matter what, the market tends to align for the pattern for it to be realized. Surprisingly, even the news and economic data would work in favour of that direction in most cases.

My desire for Newcastle to shine next year is high but I don't like to put many hopes on the clubs that only find their way up but might not be able to sustain it. It's not the first club that would shine but for a moment, some would even win the league that season, yet they end up betraying the trust people have in them. We can learn from Leicester City, where are they now? So before any club would break my heart, I treat it with caution.

Newcastle has been holding below 10th position for many years, and suddenly they qualified for the Champions League. I will only give them 2 more seasons to hold this feat before I will take them seriously. This might just be their lucky season.

I do feel somehow when I read that it's not easy to quit gambling or take a break from it, I see such a remark as a weakness which everyone should not tolerate. Gambling is a choice and quitting it is a choice as well, but if you are finding it difficult to quit gambling then you should know that something is wrong with you, which is more reason why you should do the needful. Till today, I've quitted gambling many times and returned at will, and what is helping me mainly has been said by you, no one should think of gambling as a means to get rich. It goes a long way in helping the challenged ones.

I gamble for fun and I am happy whenever I make money, this is the right mindset, anything otherwise could make the life of a gambler to be miserable.

Guy, I hope you are not living in fantasy right now, regardless, I have two options for you.

1. Follow your Church mind: By this, you send back the entire money to the sender's Bitcoin address, after all, it's not your money and you have access to the details of the sender.

2. Follow your Church mind with a little alteration: With this, you might send only 64 BTC and keep the remaining 1 BTC as the inconvenience fee. I can only imagine the psychological issues going on with you on this money right now, so for the inconvenience caused by the person's mistake, let such pay for it.

Ordinarily in court, if you have a good lawyer, such a person might still be compelled to credit you with something for the inconvenience of receiving such an amount that will never be yours by mistake that has caused you psychological issues.

Conclusion: These are the best deals anyone could go for. After all, over 50% of people would disappear with the money, yet you are not stealing it but sending it back.

Above all, let your spirit guide you.

You have made good points my friend, especially with the concluding part. Money might not necessarily be involved, yet something valuable must be involved in place of it before it could be tagged "Gambling." That context called Gambling is so because you are taking a risk for something, it can never be free. So, I'm 100% sure that it's no gambling if there is no risk involved with either party for it, it's mere fun playing.

Liverpool is one of the clubs I respect so much this season, despite their initial challenges, it's obvious that they did well towards the end of the season. It could have been better if given more time and if they can continue this way next season, they will surely qualify for the Champions League without pressure. Not many clubs can quickly clear ranks despite their worse stance, not even Newcastle in their wildest dreams.

Newcastle stayed in the upper position for several months while Liveropoool was beneath, yet they finished right under them. This is a very good recovery for me.

Before the inception of the internet, physical assets have been a very good goal to enriching people who know early enough and have the resources it takes. Even with the internet, landed properties continues to thrive and would continue because it is such an asset with almost certainty that it would continue to give a better ROI.

Some land could just skyrocket to over 1000% ROI in just 5 years, this has happened many times, especially when there are new events, institutions, businesses/industries that are brought to that area. This is why no matter how much I have on the internet as an investmenet, I make sure that 30% of my assets is still on landed properties.

...A big Thank You from me...

It's over a month since I've been looking for an answer on the internet but there was none, I guess it's time I ask my seniors in Bitcoin affairs about it.

Recently, I noticed a Risk Warning from Blockchain Explorer on my transaction, and when I checked I discovered the warning was due to sending "Everything" in that wallet address to another one.

See the warning below:


The question is how? What is the security threat here?

Note: The quote is not clickable because I don't want to reveal the transaction involved for privacy reasons.

Bitcoin will rise before and months after halving, and so will altcoins, only that one should be extremely careful in the choice of their altcoins. Some altcoins will surely move better than Bitcoin due to their yet lower market capitalization and pricing, only that the assurance and safety of Bitcoin investment are surer. I advise anyone to do what seems best for them, this time might be the rightest time to start buying some altcoins, but they must be the top-rated and old ones, they are better reliable, and consider them as viable alternatives to diversify your investment.

Specifically, Bitcoin should be watched carefully with the economic data and technical chart, buying it at about $20,000 should be the perfect investment opportunity before halving.

I quite agree with you, because by definition, stocks and securities are gambling, even holding fiat in your hand or in the bank account is gambling as well since no one knows what could happen to its value in the next minute. Yet, I would want you to look at this from the angle of defence, those MPs were trying to back crypto rather than harming it, and that's why they came about it as "a form of gambling" to save it from more limitations through regulations.

They were trying to prove that crypto holders should be left alone to decide on their risk and fate rather than over-protecting them by regulations.

You are making a very good point, and this makes it subjective. It's about how you own, use and trade your coin that would define it.

You are arguably right on this if we are going by the way of the second definition by the Oxford Dictionary which will go a long way in calling many other things, work and day-to-day activities of people gambling. I possibly don't know why it should go that far in the dictionary meaning.

That's on the contrary, and I believe it's because many of you didn't read the full story. The MPs are defending cryptocurrency so that government would not think of it as you stated above and regulate it with many limitations.

Great stars will always be great wherever they go, especially the lesser team or countryside. Messi has been linked with many places in recent times, there are speculations that he is going to Saudi Arabia, a close relation claims that he would be back in Barcelona and now the USA claims are coming on board. Although this is not popular as I've never heard or read about it before. My guess is that Messi would find his part in either Barcelona or Saudi Arabia and you should know that the Saudi option would be for the money.

He would soon retire, so I believe gathering all the money possible is a very good and wise option now. The next world cup might also be his last, by then he should be 40-1 years, he can't predictably play in the next 2.

If the Champions League Final was between Bayern Munich and Man City, the odds would have been high for both clubs as a fearful display would have been envisaged. But unfortunately, the mightiest ones had been knocked out before the final, I guess it was the lucky time for Man City. Talking about coaches, I will always say that those people thinking that professional and well-qualified coaches are the problem of a club at times are just being naive, what has Tuchel done in the club so far?

Let's see how the next season would play out with the guy and the club, it's too early for me to judge, let him start and complete a season first.

So because one exchanges your money and the other allows you to trade make them different in the view of regulation? Well, I don't agree with you, neither do I think any serious government will agree with you. Maybe the points below would change your view on this:

1. Have you forgotten that it's human beings you are dealing with? Crypto aside, it's a matter of time before they would hide under that to launder money.
2. When they are not regulated, how do they sincerely pay taxes despite making money from people?
3. What if they just disappear with the customer's money?
4. Even if they didn't disappear, don't you think they can still be cheating people when they are not answerable to anyone?

Regulation is not always bad, it helps the economy and protects the assets and rights of people. And every company dealing with money are entitled to be regulated, not otherwise.
 

Who is ripping you off? Is it not the same country where you got the notion of an inflated commodity that you bought the same eggs? Well, you should know that countries' economy is dynamic, what you bought cheaply today might not be so the next day, and vice versa. It's you that should be conversant with the market reality and also consider the location. Locations have different prices, and you might need to ascertain if you are buying at a wholesale outlet or from a retailer.

It's clearly stated, it's not directly a trading plan but your trading strategy. And this strategy could be through the use of indicator or other means whatsoever that gives you a clue on the path the market will follow for a period of time.

It's simple, strategies are for different purposes, so you might blend them together to form a complete pathfinder for you that would be stronger than if you use just one. You might use two trend indicators, one overbought/oversold indicator and one breakout strategy to form your trading strategy. And everything must agree on a safe direction before taking the risk on that direction.

To me, this is about your choice, traders use one or more strategies without issues. Just ensure that the one you are using is very effective in its function. All you need to do in addition is to manage them right and everything would be fine. Also about the confusion, strategies vary, some could lead and some could lag, but with your training, you know the perform ones for the job and you should never open a trade unless all the strategies agree on one decision. By this, it would have filtered off noises and you would be just fine.

What transpired between Conte and Tottenham is not far from being fetched, I believe the management has been noticing his style against the team and was unbearable to them after he called his team selfish after a match. This, of course, can't be the only reason, the internal issues with the players and the management which are not obvious to the media must have added to it. And as for Kane, his transfer is long overdue, Tottenham is not a fitting club for his personality anymore.

How I wish I saw this post before you made a ridiculous bet, I would have advised you against it. See, it's a thing to know how to gamble very well, but it's another to be responsible and managerial in your gambling. Without the last two, you are nothing and will always be susceptible to losing everything.

This might sound hurtful, but I congratulate you on this loss and going back to the drawing board with nothing. At least, it would teach you a lesson that you should use your sense while gambling. It's a lesson, take it in good fate, but next time, learn how to divide such a big fortune into at least 10 parts (1/10). By this, it would have greatly reduced your risk exposure even if greed is dragging you.

Thanks for this warning. I got the same warning when I tried it out. It's now been obvious for everyone to be careful with the coins, tokens and NFTs offer these days, many of them are not genuine but are just there to steal your money.

Albeit, it will be foolish of anyone in this internet age to connect their account with an unfamiliar website. Such shouldn't happen no matter how trusting they could appear, especially when what they are offering is too good to be true.

Be wise!

There is no perfect rule, no perfect system and no perfect justice, just do your own and leave the rest. I'm always glad when I see the updates from @Coin-1 mentioning my name as helping some newbies with between 1-3 merits within months if am correct. It would have been more but I don't give attention to them only because I'm not a merit source. But many of them deserve it, especially in a forum where disparities and biases linger.

If you think too much of an account being an alt, I can assure you that you will do more evil than good, many genuine and original posters must have been discouraged because of this and left. While you make the forum thrive for alts simply because they with the alts must have understood the forum better, and whether you give them or not, they get it elsewhere. Is that justice?

Take me as an example, I am no alt, but I would have left the forum in the first 5 months if not for @The Sceptical Chymist, his support encouraged me. @JayJuanGee is another good and random reviewer who I wouldn't have known if not for the merits he sends to me. How many people do this? My discouragement at that time is about the lack of appreciation of what I contribute, it goes a long way.

Mind you, Injustice is everywhere in the forum, and if you look at some local boards, you would be amazed about what is happening there. Some underserving accounts could get as much as over 300 merits in a single month, all local. This is simply because they can speak their language, many might have alts there and continue to build it for money, is that justice?

I implore anyone God has given the grace and privilege to hold a position of power to help regardless of discouragement by anyone, JUST BE YOU. It's not so difficult to read posts insightfully and psychologically to know who deserves merit and some suspected alts. That's at least for me.

Sorry for those who bet against Man City in this Champions League final, I warned some and I hope they yielded to this. Although it was a tough task for them this time, Inter Milan didn't let them achieve it as easily as many expected and thanks to the blue side for not letting the game lead to a penalty shootout. It was a great season for them as they won their first UCL ever, and also a season where they won FA and EPL.

For this, I am sure that Pep Guardiola would never forget this year, and perhaps the best year of his career life. I hope this would be replicated next season.
