501  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Invest in something that worth your money on: January 20, 2024, 07:25:00 AM
One good thing wey investors suppose know be say, them suppose get knowledge of the kind of investment they intend to invest in.

 Many times the story OP told is a repercussion of investors giving or trust their brokers to do the investing for them rather than them doing it themselves.

How person go take know investment wey worth their money if them no try am and fail or achieve success upon first trial. Abi u don forget the saying which goes, a trial will convince?

I agree with you on this assertions, you really need to work very hard to first of all have an in-depth knowledge on the business you are trying to invest in. It is something that you can start with just Googling about the sector you intend to invest in. Understand the intricacies of the business and get someone who have gotten first hand experience on the business then ask them questions about the business you intend to get into. There's something called SWOT Analysis. It is good to always measure the Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats that lies in the business.

Your point clear, that Matter wey happen for Bayelsa state I hear am. I even get friends and brothers way  invest for their money, some sell land, house, take loans go invest for  Baraza thinking say na trade them they trade for them. Authorities sef no do anything to de person wey Cary out this fraudulent (419) act anything, so many people don fall victim for wrong investment. Some people dem Cary their money run away, some enter 419 hands, so everyone wey wey wan invest this period as the year jus dey begin. Anything you wan go into abeg make you make Sur say U do findings, ask questions, investigate well before U go put Ur money ,resources, finance's, income and profits inside any investment. Because 419 dem dey  plenty every where, them sef dey change plans, patterns, strategies to take collect people money. Authorities way supposed catch them also some time dey work with dem so dey careful.

This country (Naija) things hard, so no go fall victim with small money wey U don try manage save fall victim for wetin wey no worth investing. Try ask before U invest so that U go benefit well.

This Naija wey we they now don carry belle and he no look like something wey fit deliver now. Unfortunately, we have a few number of people that can be trusted now because for God's sake plenty people don tire for each other. E they very annoying say people no get plenty money but yet person go they out there they always look for how them go dupe you of your own small money.

Funnily enough oo. We need to shine our eyes these days as we they try to invest in anything, people go even come with crazy ideas say you go fit invest 100k come get a plot of land wey worth over 100 millions of naira for a time not feasible enough. You go come get other people again wey them go still try to sell the same land titles for. Plenty people don fall victim.

Na so them they also try to run people street with this cryptocurrencies investments since plenty people no understand the real concept of it,some mugus go wan scam innocent people with outrageous investment plans.

Manchester City will be playing against Copenhagen in the last 16 of the Uefa Champions League; without the match being played, we know Manchester City is through to the quarterfinals of the Uefa Champions League. Even though Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are in form this season, Manchester City has what it takes to beat them.

Cristiano Ronaldo have also go ahead to suggest three clubs that are likely to win this season's champions league and I personally think the same way, as these are the most promising clubs that have shown the capacity prowess to push the giant stride. According to Ronaldo, Manchester City who are the current holders of the title are likely to take it back for the second time. He have also identified Real Madrid as the second club that can also take the titles of this season champions league and the third one is Bayern Munich who are also very much in form to take the league too.

Let's see how the events will play out.

Problems with Neymar is not only injury and how long does it take him to recover from an injury, but also come from his ageing issue which will make his body more sensitive with more injuries. It also causes Neymar longer time to recover from an injury and it only becomes worse with time, not better.

The best thing for Al-Hilal is to let Neymar go off the team and even terminate his contract with them even though they have all the financial capacity to carry him along without his present on the pitch but this is business too and not a charity organization. Neymar came into the Saudi Pro League together with Cristiano Ronaldo of Al-Nassr and Benzema of Ittihad. Al-Hilal signed Neymar Jr with over £78 million.

After he was signed into the club, his appearance on the club is just 5 in numbers and went into the knee injury during his international appearance in Brazil not even in Al-Hilal now for the rest of the season he will be absolutely absent.

Now, because of their new signing that brought about the Brazilian full back Renan Lodi, they have been persuaded to remove Neymar from their squad since they have planned their first XI to be mixed with the local and international players.

Al-Fateh only had difference of 1 point and when they lost to Al Nassr it was clear that Al-Ittihad would definitely continue to rise and shift Al-Fateh position.
Moreover, Al Nassr really needs to win this match and of course Al Nassr will fight for victory in order to catch up with Al Hilal.

I remain confident that even if Al-Ittihad plays without Benzema, they will still win and be able to save full points in this match.

It is better for Al-Itthad to play this particular match without Benzema because the club they will be playing against, Al-Fateh does not seem to be any much of challenging like some other top clubs like Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal. Sometimes it is best practiced to allow the squad play through switching over their players especially with out overusing the star player.
504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: January 20, 2024, 06:29:52 AM

You made a fair point, I'd give you that. As much as I'd like to see the team succeed, they need to improve their game because the tournament is only going to get tougher after the group stage. Group stages haven't been much of an issue for Nigeria in the Afcon competitions.

Nonetheless we'd have to wait and see how far the team would go in the tournament but I have my fingers crossed that the team will improve fron here and possibly win it one more time. LFG.


Nigeria have played with Equatorial Guinea who are the team currently topping in the table A standing with 4 points and ahead of Nigeria with goal differences because Nigeria is also have 4 points as they do. When both countries played their first match, they both had draw in the match and 1 point was shared with them.

Secondly, Nigeria played with Ivory coast who are the host country for this year's AFCON and win over the host country with 1 goal which was scored by POAK's player, Ekong through a penalty that was ably conceived by Napoli's player, Osihmhen in the second half. Remember, before this match, Ivory Coast was having 3 point unlike Nigeria and were equally very hopeful of winning the match but reverse was the case.

Seriously, Nigeria's performance is not really impressive, they are struggling to win most of their matches, which is really wrong. The first match that they played was against Equatorial Guinea. Nigeria struggled to play a draw in the match, which is not supposed to be like that. Equatorial Guinea wasn’t supposed to give Nigeria a difficult moment in the match, the match should have been an easy win for Nigeria, but I was just disappointed with the opportunities Nigeria wasted in the match. I noticed there was little improvement in Nigeria's performance in their last match, which was against Ivory Coast, but Nigeria should still improve their performance.

I feel like we do more of criticizing our national team players than we do more of praising the little efforts and wins they have recorded. Although is not unfounded as it is also as a result of their carelessness to perform when they return home, gradually making the countrymen lose much hope in them and have a little. Now, they must also work very hard to perform better in their next fixturing against Guinea Bissau. While we Also celebrate them for their triumph in their previous match.

If Barcelona sacks Xavier Hernández, they should get a more experienced coach who can manage the available players and maximize the meager resources that are available in the club. But I don't think there is any need to sack Xavi, a coach that won the La Liga last season and has qualified for the UCL round of sixteen. If he is sacked, I am sure Xavi will not be jobless for a long time because he is a good coach who maintains a good relationship with his players.

I believe that Xavi is a patriotic manager who have worked hard to bring the club to victory, last season was a testament of his efforts in the La Liga league but this season does not seem to be good for him as he's struggling with all efforts but that's not enough to have pushed the club forward to maintain the lead.

I am not happy for him because he is not achieving his dream to continue to take the club higher. In terms of performance, I can say that he's doing well, much more than the English coach, Ten Hag in terms of players and team management yet that's not just enough for him.

Clubs like Girona which is effective and efficiently managed by Michel are doing extremely well than one ever expected. But yes, it is time for them to shine too as they just joined the league in 2017. Barely 7 years after their entrance to the league, they are aiming very hard to take the league facing bigger and more celebrated clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid. Right now you can comfortably say that Girona have performed better than Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the league.

Barcelona currently at 4th place with 8 different points below to Girona which is the team in the first place so a bit difficult for Barcelona to pursuing Girona and Real Madrid for race title so it's normal if people starting to worried Barcelona will be unable to defend their title but Barcelona sport director Deco has been says Xavi position is still safe and he wouldn't be sacked but Barcelona have to gets positive results for the next several matches just like against Unionistas de Salamanca CF at Copa Del Rey or against Betis in Laliga and if Barcelona lost again from those matches i am sure Xavi will be sacked

I would not want to attach any emotions to this news. But if we must mention, I will continue to assert that Xavi has done his very best and that's the capacity he has and have exhibited. It is his previous club so everything he does is with passion and the dream to win more trophies for the club.

But, the whole game is based on competition and the club needs to meet up with the competition at hand. If Xavi's effort is not strong and convincing enough for them to win, the president will have no other options to go for a more stronger and convincing manager.

Messi alone cannot do everyone to win games, elevating his team to the top and remaining there. It’s just not possible no matter how good the player is. One individual cannot do it all.
I think they signed Messi for various reasons, publicity and marketing reasons amongst others. But I think his influence is still felt in the team although not as much as he or his supporters would have desired.


I am very sure that the key reasons why they brought in Messi is because of the popularity they wanted to gain for the club and the entire league. They have also been able to make money through sales of jerseys and other endorsements they must have gotten. They also got resources through the massive publicity they got and the marketing strategies employed.

Secondly, they have also been able to effectively promote their brands and stadiums to the world which is a bold step every club out there will take to attain what they have done especially as it is coming from that part of the world and not at the heart of Europe who are like the stars in the football industry.

I am pretty sure that they also expected Messi to take them to the wonder land being a well celebrated football player with 8 good medals of the Ballon D'or. He is expected to bring in his expertise and serve as a mentor to other players in the team which should ordinarily brace up their performances. Other players are also aimed at learning from him during trainings considering his skills to play awesomely which his professional career.

Maybe Arsenal is experiencing conditions similar to last season. Even this season I think it's worse. Because last season we saw Arsenal still ranked at the top in the middle of the season. And dropped to 2nd place at the end of the season. Arteta seems to have to rebuild the squad. More thorough preparations must be made for next season. But this season there is something different, namely Arsenal will fight in the last 16 of the UCL. So Arsenal's goals may be much bigger this season. But with the current conditions, it is natural that doubts are starting to creep in among all Arsenal fans.

against Crystal Palace shouldn't be a big deal. But maybe Arsenal will find it difficult to score many goals. Arsenal will probably win but with a narrow score.

Everything seems to be like a big deal to Arsenal right now because both at the FA Cup and the Premier league, they have not really performed up to par. The last four previous matches were not pleasing at all for the club as they failed to win their matches against Liverpool, which was a draw in the Premier leaague, they also failed to win against West Ham with a 0 - 2 lost to West Ham in the Premier league, another failure to win against Fulham with a 2 over 1 in the Premier league, with the fourth failure against Liverpool again in the FA Cup to 0 - 2.

What hope do you have over them winning Crystal Palace this time around? Besides in their last fixturings they have not impressively won over Crystal Palace too. They have been draws and lost to Crystal Palace in between their last 5 fixtures.

Now Arsenal have dropped down to the 4th position in the table standing with 40 points and 5 point difference between the table leads who are the Liverpool. I'm not happy with this result at all as the late crippling misperformance of the Arsenal. Could it be that the squad is weak and can't perform up to the ranks.
508  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Be proud of your native language on: January 18, 2024, 02:01:13 PM
Our native language and the place we come from is something that we can not throw it away or change it. Our native language is part of us and if it something that one should be ashamed of that means the person is not proud of his/her self because native language tells a lot from where we are coming from and if this makes one to be ashamed that means the person is trying to say the family where he belong he is not suppose to be raised in the family he belong.

I no feel lie you, there's nothing as far as diversity in life is concerned that I do cherish like my native language. What I mean is that my traditional heritage is something of keen interest to me and I do not always hesitate to play with it. Any thing that has to do with one's tradition specifically that is not against my religionsf

I do not support extraneous teachings of our traditions and customs but so much that I become announced seeing them being practiced by others today. But you see what they call tribe or a native language. I do not joke with it at all and won't do the same to my family. It's my policy that my children must learn their native language as a means of promoting the tribe.

I feel like if people of other tribes had neglected their own tribes,  the tribes won't  have gotten to where they are today because of their consistency in promoting the tribes and it is majorly because of how they are so much interested in flying their tribes.

FOMO is different from panic sell. FOMO is for the buying spree people go on pushing the price up.
The reason why we aren't seeing that these days (despite the fact that people know the potential of bitcoin and see it as a hedge against inflation) is the recession! People simply don't have enough spare money to put into bitcoin as before.

The recession has heat the economy of the world so badly that people do not really have excess of money to put into bitcoin now. It is also noteworthy to mention that the prices of commodities are going in the rise. What you use to purchase for a price before is now x2 of the value today in the commodity market. So it is only normal for the dynamics of things to change including in the financial system.

However, whether there's inflation or not, many people out there are also not bothered about it as they are financially buoyant enough to stand for themselves and to always penetrate the market. I'm pretty sure there are people who have their ways of taking advantage of the market at all times.

The Saudi guys have got a really good marketing strategy and approach as to how they are going to promote their leagues ad get the desired attention because that's what they need if they must make good money from their League, more attention will means more ticket and jersey purchasing power and even investors.

Getting these big European players looks like a strategy to getting attention because these players have made big name in football enough that wherever they are they, they always get good attention from which money can be made, and in order to get these European stars they have to make offers bigger than what is applicable in the European leagues and that way these players without a second taught will join them after getting higher pay is one of the reasons they want to play football.

The Saudis have always done things in the big way in the past and present. anything they involve in and put in their best to produce the most colorful events hosted by them. But they are also the oil magnates so they have all it takes in terms of deposited resources to make heaven out of earth.

The moment I realized their interest in the football, I knew they will bring in luxury into football and can make top players retire back to their leagues. The SPL has gain momentum now and bigger than other leagues like the MLS leagues. If the SPL continues to go like this they will eventually take many star players back to their league but I know that's not just enough as they need to always work hard and put in more efforts in terms of spending on the marketing and being patient with the growth process.

Juventus is a very good team so winning matches like that is no big achievement for them. this is a northemes mal and easy win for them. But yes it is good news for Juventus that they are going to overtake Inter very soon
Everyone knows that Juventus is one of the top teams in Serie A. We shouldn't doubt the quality of the players. In the latest match, Juventus also won the match with 3 goals without any conceded goal. This means Juventus very confident to compete for the title with Inter Milan.

Juventus have been working so hard in this season and are just two points below the Inter Milan. But even at that, they have won in their last 6 matches both and away and they can still do more with the spirit in their body right now. Aside from Genoa, Atalanta and Inter Milan, they have won all their fixturings from the October of last year until today and even these matches above were draw and not personal.
Quote
However, we don't underestimate Inter Milan, they look very strong as well. Inter Milan also played well in UCL, they even reached the final round in the last season. It means Inter Milan is a very experienced team in any competition. So, how can you say that Juventus to overtake Inter Milan soon? I think you have no reason to say this.  Tongue


Let me just say anyone who underestimates Inter Milan is doing that at their own risk. Inter is never to be underestimate, not in this season even though they haven't taken the title yet they are leading the table standing right now with 51 points and  you must give respect to the team for their efforts in ensuring that they remained relevant amidst all the obstacles they have faced in this season but yet they stood their ground at the UCL. You see, football for me is not just all about winning all the times but it's about the consistency and efforts put into the gameplay. They deserve to be commended regardless.

Yes, it is fun interacting with other gamblers because we can gain knowledge that might be useful. After all, they share many things with others. They also get to know each other, which could become an even closer relationship. But maybe there are only a few people who will chat in the casino site chat room while the others are busy gambling and want to win the gambling game. The chat room also often shares tips with other friends, which makes the atmosphere more enjoyable because many people will like giving bonuses to those who win at gambling. That pleasant feeling is very different from what we find in physical casinos because we can see them and chat directly, so the interaction can also be closer.

And the most funniest aspect of meeting or interacting with other gamblers is because every individual gambler have a unique story to tell you especially as it relates to their personal life experiences in gambling. Some of these gamblers have unique stories to tell you. For instance, some gamblers will tell you that since they started gambling they have never lost any odds before and it has been a straight win for them all these while. Whereas there are those who have never won a single game before since they started gambling yet they have never get tired of the gambling rather continuing to play even more.

If we dey talk about tracking of phone calls, people dey for this country wey Dem dey track phone call to the location oo. I no dey talk about all those mumu apps wey we dey see for play store oo, how I take know, na when them track person come my side through phone calls. Small boys for we area go threaten one big man pikin through phone, say dem go kidnap her. Omor na so them just carry police track them come reach house carry them go station oo, later naim the boys confess say na just cruise them dey catch. However cases of hostage situation, the kidnapper they always warn say make them no try anything stupid if not, them no mind killing the hostage. So cases like that you dey rush they go try to track come go invade the area. Besides our Nigerian police them like peace pass gunshots.

I feel like we are not just ready yet as a country to face these issues of kidnapping squarely and it is not even funny. What one will never wish in his entire life on the surface of the earth is to have an encounter with kidnappers. It is a very horrific moments that gives you a heightened trauma. It is like sighting the day of judgment on earth for anyone who got a first hand experience of such incidents. It is highly ridiculous.

As an individual, you need to be extra careful with borrowing strangers your phones to make calls, or even allowing someone close to you to use your phone to make strange calls. Be very vigilant and I'm not saying you should not trust your loved ones but be very careful about those incidents. Don't give out your phones for others to insert their Sims or make calls you aren't aware of. That might be the only way the security agencies can trail such crime numbers which will be linked to your phone since you used it last.

As a country, I want to challenge this government to wake up and beef up this security challenges that have affected lives and others with sad story of victimization. These things just have to stop for this country to be safe for the citizens who are not in war but it feels like so, due to the heat of several unfortunate situations and scenarios.

You no suppose select one out of the two, get the both of them. If you get your BA or MSC and also a skill alongside it, that is great, i know say as our society dey now, to find job dey hard and people rely on the skills wey dem don garner, but that one no make us leave education, go check the number of people wey dey take Jamb every year, you go understand say we still value education, which is great.

If una leave this matter for me to select, I go select both at the same time because for my live I see say both of them just day as important as the other. Although, in the event that I'm left with no option than to choose one. Honestly, I fit choose skills over degree oo. Mind you, the skills can be anything you think can bring you value especially as it concerns your financial status. If you are broke and you need to fix yourself to start earning something, get a skill at hand and try to attain mastery in it. And trust me it will be enough for you to fend for yourself.

Quote
Getting a degree go also give you better exposure and even help you to understand the skills wey you wan learn, for example e go hard for you to see person wey get tech or computer skills wey no be graduate, so make we embrace both getting a degree and a skill too.

I agree with you when you did said that getting a degree gives you exposure. It does not only exposes you but also gives you the intelligent quotient to think within and outside the box. And also gives you the ability to think from a diverse perspective then it also allows you to juxtapose your thoughts and make smart judgements out of your thinking. But sometimes, degrees are jot just enough to make you independent and financially buoyant, it is only skills that you acquire within the process of getting the degree that ends up saying you and distinguishing from your colleagues.

Chelsea looking to recklessly spend more money on transfers? It’d be good if they actually decided to coach the £1,500,000,000 signings that they have already made.
Firmino and Benzema have been true legends of the game but they are past their peak.
Chelsea do not care about spending a lot of money when there is a striker who is wanted will definitely be bought. No Chelsea only want instant and already famous players at any price will be bought. Lol

If I was to also be of advise, I will ask Chelsea to get Victor Osimhen into their team no matter how much it will take them to grab the guy. He's such an intelligent, humble and hard-working player who will always stay twice tall to make sure the club triumph. What I'm scared of is overuse of the player. If he is signed into Chelsea and he delivers well in the club.

I agree with you that what Madrid is waiting for is Girona to experience defeat, but it seems that in Girona's match against Almeria, even though the result is a draw, it will definitely be happiness for Madrid because of course Madrid also wants to win the trophy in Laliga this season.

Yes, Girona must ensure that they consistently win in matches because if they don't consistently win then Girona will fail to become champions. but I personally believe that Girona will win the next match against Sevilla, so we'll see.

In one instance, I will say that I am not happy about the draw match with Almeria, whereas in the other instance, I will applaud the efforts that Girona have put into the games to have gotten here today. I will also commend their doggedness and altruism over the confidence that they've put into this season to have got here. To be very honest, one must appreciate it all.

But now it's a different season and of course Barcelona's hopes are higher. What is really needed for a team is good results from every match. and club management certainly only wants to know if their club wins and can win the title. And this is where the problem lies because to be honest, Barcelona's performance this season is not as good and effective as before. not to mention the consequences of the club's crushing defeat to its eternal rival, Real Madrid, in yesterday's El Clasico to win the Spanish Super Cup. and rumors regarding the push for Xavi's dismissal are increasing.

Like I've said earlier, Xavi has put in his best too in this season but what I can say is that his best is not enough to have taken them to the league. It is not always rosy and every other team have gone to re-enegize themselves to get stronger and better this season like Girona have shown examples on this league. For Barcelona to get better, Xavi just needs to keep trying and identify his loopholes in terms of squad then fill it up.
517  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: More Reason for the JAPA syndrome in our country. on: January 16, 2024, 09:54:30 PM
We thought this new year was going to be different, but this year was ushered with a lot of disheartened stories that traveled around numerous kidnap incidents in the country. The first one was the killing of Nabeeha, second one is the abduction of six sisters in Abuja, third one is Folorunsho Ariyo, another victim, caretaker chairman of Ukum LGA of Benue State, Rev. Gideon, which are all over the news and so on.

These issues are mostly generated around the wide range of poverty and hunger in the country. It has attributed to the kidnappings and insecurities which by extension is the cause why many people start to think of JAPAing.

Although, I still see the JAPA syndrome as a thing of individual choice, but sometimes all these sad and horrific things makes one to begin to think whether one should go ahead and JAPA. But you need to know where to migrate to because everything outside Nigeria works with more precision and you cannot just jump into another man's land when you are not a citizen of the country.

Some people go through the Mediterranean Sea, which is a cartel of business people who arrange for the illegal immigration of the people and take them out of the country through the oceans and seas, most of these people ends up as refugees many of which are caught and deported back to Nigeria.

The other way people do JAPA is through the legal process, leaving the country for a study leave and from there, get something to do.

We've all been there, that moment of realization when you remember selling your precious Bitcoins years ago and wonder if you missed the boat.  Well, take a deep breath, because im here to remind you that in the world of crypto, time is always on our side!

It might sting a bit to think about what could have been if you held onto those BTC, but let's not forget the golden rule of crypto: it's a marathon, not a sprint. The market is dynamic, and opportunities are ever-present.

The question is, does it even matter to the dead right now. Whether they made profit whilst they sold their bitcoin at lesser value when they were alive? Or to the sick person on the sickbed who sold his bitcoin to save his life at a lesser value than it is now? Or even, a student who invested in bitcoin at a time to later use it to pay for his/her house rent and tuition fee?

I think in life, so many things mean different to others and the purpose and intentions behind why people invest is what matters the most to them. it does not matter whether the value of bitcoin faced a decline at the time someone took it out or not. And yes, this does not also have anything to do with the so-called "golden rule of bitcoin" which you said it's a marathon, not a sprint.

 In real sense, the entire life is a marathon and not a sprint and I feel like the rule applies to all aspect of life not bitcoin alone but you can not also use this rule to negate the intentions people use to invest.

Paying house rent with bitcoin is a good thing and not a bad idea. You are using the current value of bitcoin, both in price and market value, to determine what you are going to pay for, and I don't see anything wrong with that.
 
Paying with fiat in the same amount total and also paying with bitcoin is still the same thing, provided that you and the landlord have a mutual agreement. If you have some bitcoin to spend, you can just pay it and let go, and you can always convert that fiat to bitcoin anytime you want and hold it as long as you want

I think it's a thing of choice and like you said there need to be a consensus agreement between the tenant and the landlord as to whether he's ready to accept the mode of payment. Bitcoin is just like any other currency and if that's the only asset you have in your wallet, you can decide to offer it to the landlord if he's okay by it. Otherwise, you can just swap it to his most preferred currency and send it to him. For instance, if I was the one, if after asking the landlord, he agrees to it, I can decide to send it to him via USDT since he may want to have it valued in a more stable currency or something as equivalent as the dollar.

Yet, it all depends on the value of the house rent. Let's say for an example, let's say my house rent is calculated monthly and I'm meant to pay just around 65$ monthly which is equivalent to 0.001492 BTC, I will personally request that I send him the money in USDT rather than sending him in Bitcoin so that we don't have issues of miscalculation with the landlord. It is solely for that reason.

Mind you, there is no guarantee that the bitcoin price will keep its value as of when you pay the money, and till that time next year, the price might double, no doubt, or the price might also drop in value, which the landlord might be recording some loss if it has not yet sold out.

You know everything boils down to the relationship established by the landlord to the tenants which is majorly their understanding of themselves. If both of them (the tenant and the landlord) do agree with the knowledge of the volatility of the bitcoin market and agree not to hold each other responsible when there's market fall or rise, whether bitcoin faces a bull or bear run, but agree on working with making the payment with the value of the bitcoin market whether up or down, then, they can go ahead with the payment in current bitcoin market price, whether it is monthly or yearly and whether profitable or non-profit.

In today's match of Milan vs Roma team in Italian League, Milan team won the match by scoring 3 goals. The performance of Roma team's players was bad due to which Roma team could not score more than 1 goal in today's match. Roma team scored 1 goal in today's match. Milan team's player Y. Adli  Scored the first goal in the 11th minute.O.  Giroud scored the 2nd goal on 56 minutes.T.  Hernández scored the 3rd goal in the 84th minute. On the other hand, Roma's L. Paredes scored the 1st goal in the 69th minute.

I am happy for Milan right now because they have been able to secure their third successive Serie A victory with the 3-1 win over AS Roma today at the San Siro stadium. Although my predictions were accurate to have predicted a straight win for Milan against the Roma. I won't be analyzing the whole of the match but the reason was  not far fetched as Milan had consistently won their last 10 matches except for their second leg with Atalanta in the Coppa Italia and their match with Sportiva which culminated to a draw.

Similarly, Milan has not lose but draw twice to the AS Roma in their last 5 matches they fixtured each other. The beauty in that is that Milan have continued to be on top of their game when they're challenging great performing clubs like the AS Roma. So, such feat was much more expected to come from Milan than it will come from AS Roma.
