Man City are below their usual standards but they are going nowhere. They are still in the title race, they can’t afford to drop too many points in the next month or so but they are well capable of going on long winning runs.

I think after reaching such highs of winning the treble, it’s natural to fall off a bit but they are still fighting to defend their title. 
Maybe because some of the players they have are suffering from injuries, which affects Man City when they play. I'm not really sure that this season Man City has a chance to win the Premier League because on the other hand Liverpool and Arsenal are increasingly mature and have shown much better consistency than Man City. If in the next few matches they lose again, it will be much less possible for Man City to win the title because Arsenal and Liverpool will be quite far apart.

Winning the treble last season put pressure on Man City because the burden of defending it will be much heavier, especially when talking about the Premier League, which is so competitive every year where the bottom clubs can provide surprises like Aston Villa did. Currently Man City is not in its best performance because it has lost several important players in its squad.

Eliminating poverty in its entirety won't be possible, but since the current system is built such that those with money and power can extract wealth from the poor, BTC can offer the poor an alternative to save their wealth in a place that makes extraction harder, though not impossible through secondary ways. If a poorer person is saving in BTC and needs to use it at some point to make an investment (perhaps pursuing a business idea), those BTC will someone be reinjected into the bad system. But it does give people an option to protect their wealth from being taken away in some of the ways the current system is destined to allow for. Talking about one architecture based on algorithms as the ultimate savior goes too far. But considering BTC as one factor of many to fight poverty is certainly a comprehensible consideration
It doesn't sound as easy as imagined and I have seen how poverty makes people increasingly lazy to seek knowledge and they even lose their enthusiasm for making savings in any form. If you see poor people who have bitcoin and they can buy gold for example, then I can say they are not really poor people, but rather they are people who have the opportunity to get out of the poverty line in their own style and way. It's very different from real poor people and they can't even afford their children's education, so how can we talk about technological advances or the investment system that exists in bitcoin.

I believe that bitcoin is a good step to reach the stage of financial freedom but to what extent are poor people able to realistically see this opportunity to get involved in investing. When people have difficulty meeting their daily food needs then that person has no chance of being seen in bitcoin or in any investment in my opinion.
583  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours is the best time for a gambler to last while gambling? on: December 27, 2023, 05:04:43 PM
Gambling is for fun, and actually, if someone wants to have fun gambling, there is no way they can spend six hours gambling or even spend the rest of their day gambling.
This means they don't gamble for fun but it is an addiction that makes it difficult for them to stop. They are not people who are looking for pleasure, but fall into the category of addiction because they are no longer able to control time or clocks. If gambling is just for fun then they should be able to stop at any time and have nothing to do with time or clock.

In my opinion,  the more time one decides to spend on gambling, the more money they lose. For example, if I spend like one hour gambling and another gambler spends like six hours gambling, which one of us do you think will spend more money?
The question is quite easy to answer and it is certain that people who are involved in gambling for a long time will lose a lot of money compared to people who are involved in gambling for only one hour. Let's say they can be lucky for the first hour when they are involved in gambling and make a win, but can they guarantee to get a winning streak in the next hour.

All coach want to get challenge with several teams and try to make several record winning domestic league tittles more than several club, indeed get supported large financial for signing top players I don't sure with Pep Guardiola will stay with Manchester City in longer time. Pep will leave Manchester City one day later and he will find the excited challenge likely become Serie A head coach club or move to Ligue 1 because both top European competition still not try yet. 
Pep Guardiola will stay until his contract ends and after that he will take another step to lead the team in any league he wants. Pep Guardiola was successful at Barcelona, although he did not succeed in bringing Bayer Munich to the Champions League title and while coaching Man City he again managed to win three titles in one season. I hope he can face new challenges in the French League and Italian League so that he has a good record when he chooses to retire as a coach.

The challenge of bringing Italian and French league clubs to win the Champions League will not be as easy as in the leagues he has coached, but he needs to try if he wants to show his abilities. It was interesting when Pep Guardiola was willing to accept offers from these two leagues because he would prove his ability to coach.

Over the time, I’ve seen several post, by users here who, claim that gambling is strictly for fun, even when one is making losses and I’ve paused to ask this question “Is there actually any fun in gambling especially when the losses are more than the winnings?”
Of course no one is happy when people have to lose money, especially if they lose large amounts of money in the gambling they do, it's just that gamblers know that this activity will definitely make them lose money, but because they have done it often, it may have become a habit. Is there anyone who can accept losing any amount of money and I don't think anyone is happy with that.

Let’s be frank, there are several other things one can do for fun aside gambling and I understand that life it’s own is a risk but seeing claims that people see gambling as fun even when making losses is weird and I think it’s worth discussion as to know if truly people gamble strictly for fun without minding if they’re losing or winning
It is quite Complicated when it comes to discussing the problem of gambling by making the clamps of losing money trigger pleasure. Everyone certainly understands the risks when gambling and if it is just for fun then losing some money in gambling is not a big problem, because they know this activity is only done for fun. But on the other hand, people will feel annoyed if they have to lose at gambling and maybe they probably know that.

It's already a time for regeneration, both Mahrez and Gundongan are already old. I think Pep willing to sell Palmer because Chelsea want to spend a lot money for him, Palmer's market value was 17 Million Euros and Chelsea spent for 44 Million Euros to get him.

I think in two seasons, Gvardiol and Nunez would be strong. Akanji was a bad player, but now he do give a lot contributions.
Pep Guardiola is smart on seeing players and he knows which players should be sold and which players should be kept. Although they are currently experiencing setbacks after only managing to rank in the top five of the standings. Palmer did not really develop at Man City and he failed to become an important player in Pep Guardiola's squad so letting him go to Chelsea paved the way for him to recruit other players that Pep Guardiola needed.

Man City needs to buy a creative midfielder going forward because relying on De Bruyne can sometimes get them into problems like now. Without the support of De Bruyne, Man City loses a player who is able to pass beautiful passes to attackers and in my opinion, De Bruyne plays quite an important role in Man City.

It is never possible to eliminate the poverty of a country through Bitcoin but Bitcoin can bring some economic transparency to a country but it is not possible for Bitcoin to bring economic transparency by crossing the poverty line of that country. But if one thing is implemented, the population of that country can be turned into a public resource through Bitcoin. When the majority of people in a country acquire minimal knowledge of Bitcoin, the people of that country can use Bitcoin to bring economic transparency and help alleviate poverty.
It's still too far to say this in general because involvement in bitcoin is more individual and the issue of poverty alleviation cannot be seen from one aspect, even though bitcoin provides a way for anyone to reach the stage of financial freedom. Talking about poverty cannot be separated from the poor circulation of money which is caused by a lack of stability and may also be influenced by the absence of jobs for the community. Bitcoin can help poverty indirectly when people have the ability to invest. But it also becomes a disaster when people get involved in investing or trading if they don't have the right knowledge.

From this study, try to imagine whether people who don't have money can get involved in investing. Then try to examine through several surveys what poor people think? talk about fulfilling their needs or have they ever thought about prioritizing investment first?

This will be an exciting match because the battle for the top of the EPL standings is at stake between the two clubs Livepool and Arsenal, both are only one point apart and of course this victory is very necessary, Jurgen Klopp looks like he will surprise Arsenal at Anfield especially considering their previous failure against Manchester United with The draw was a bit disappointing, that's why against Arsenal, at least Liverpool should be able to get full points at Anfield.
This week will be a big match between Liverpool vs Arsenal because apart from competing to occupy first place in the standings, this match is also considered to be one of the matches that will determine who is the strongest in the English league this season. Both Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta will try to give their best for their team, but I see Liverpool's chances will be much greater considering that the match will take place at Anfield. Liverpool will try to surprise Arsenal because this is an opportunity for them to shift Arsenal's position at the top of the standings.

Of the previous five matches, the two teams were quite balanced, where both experienced one defeat, one draw and the rest were able to achieve 3 wins in all competitions. If you look at the defense, Liverpool is far superior because they only conceded four goals while Arsenal conceded six goals in the last five matches.

The biggest one would be to make you realise that you can use multiple avenues for your portfolio to get a big push, if you allow them to handle it. Next, it would be airdrops which will ask you to surrender your Private Key in the end after going  through their requisite.
I have long abandoned this kind of method and am now much more focused on adding to my portfolio independently without involving other people with various projects offered through free ones. What I see is that we will be stronger when we have the knowledge to come to this system and the easiest way is just to spend money to run it, although we don't ignore the risks that will occur.

Another one would be a pump and dump group showing you how much they make a profit everyday through paid signals
In the end it would be a project copying others or a new one trying to cash on the trend.
This is more about a person's level of understanding to be involved in investing or it could also be directly related to trading. Yes, there are many people who are trapped by signals from certain groups regarding pump and dump, but they forget that our presence here must be based on knowledge so as not to be trapped by any offers from other people.

At this point I would definitely take him at Liverpool. I’d get rid of Nunez and sign Osimhen, he would score a lot of goals in this Liverpool team.

Big players don’t often move in January though so I don’t think Osimhen will be going anywhere until the summer.
Nunez was tipped to be Liverpool's great goalscorer and that wasn't the case, there were too many bobbles for Nunez to make.  Grin
Rumors are that in January Osimhen will sign a contract, but hope he comes to Liverpool in the summer.
I haven't seen any ability from Darwin Nunez, even though in a crucial match Liverpool were short of players due to a red card, he scored an important goal. Osimhen has been linked with several clubs at the moment and I am also not really sure where he will go because if another offer comes to him like Real Madrid then I am sure he will choose to move to Santiago Bernabeu.

Since Messi moved to the MLS League and his club Inter Miami have not watched this match, although there are some veteran Barcelona players there, this league is not so interesting and different from the SPL.
For me, the league is quite boring because there is no real competition and even the arrival of several European players to MLS doesn't provide anything that makes this league more interesting and even Inter Miami is still not very stable. So news emerged about the competition between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, whose goal productivity is superior to Cristiano Ronaldo's so far.
591  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Succeeded in introducing Bitcoin to a friend on: December 22, 2023, 01:35:04 PM
My question now is that is it wise that I showed him the amount of Bitcoins I have accumulated before he developed interest?
No one cares how much bitcoin you have and telling your friends about it is your own choice. But one thing you need to know is that investing in Bitcoin will be much safer if you remain anonymous and provide amount of ownership information to your friends is an attempt at justification that you don't need to do. That's why many people are too lazy to teach other people about bitcoin because they tend to want to get involved once we show that we have the amount of ownership.

To me this is ridiculous and what is your basis for telling him that? because if you think telling him how much ownership you have can attract his interest in investing. In my opinion you are digging your own grave and it will make you uncomfortable at times.
592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your view on this? Is it fun or addiction? on: December 21, 2023, 05:26:42 PM
I find it as a joke. A gambler will never be that stupid to follow that (joke) advice. The message also tells us something -- gambling is just for fun, and nothing has to be serious about this, or else, this will lead us to take loans and our lives miserable. If we are into gambling, we make sure that we have nothing to regret when losing instead, accept the fact that we are not lucky today and stop, maybe the next, and come back again.

If we understand how gambling works, we don't need to be emotional. And avoid chasing our losses in order to avoid more losses.
I agree with you because gamblers will not be that stupid in making decisions even though we may often be wrong in taking action. Gambling that is lived only for fun is not a big problem because we know this is done only in certain conditions. Usually I gamble when I have free time and get a little bonus from work, the goal is that I do not use a daily budget for other needs to gamble.

Unfortunately there is no way for those who are addicted to avoid emotional because when they lose some of the initial bets will make them more motivated to continue and their hopes can get a victory in the next gambling and even though it is no guarantee. Different when someone only gambles for pleasure and maybe they are a little more able to rely on emotions so as not to lose a lot of money.

Bitcoin has the potential to create opportunities for poverty alleviation. Many parts of the world are not yet penetrated by banking services. Since Bitcoin is a decentralized digital money, people far away from the traditional banking system can avail this service through Bitcoin. But here too there are some limitations because apart from market volatility and solving technical problems, this service has no scope without an educated population.
It seems that not many people understand how the poor in living their lives and talking investa in Bitcoin will be far more difficult when someone has difficulty meeting their needs. On the other hand poverty is a major problem that arises at this time caused by the absence of workers that can make money to the wider community. Bitcoin does provide a way to achieve freedom but there is no way for the poor to succeed in investment if they do not have sufficient capital capabilities.

We always associate the banking system that is getting worse with its journey but there are many people still need this system to support business and involvement in Cyprrto specifically. We will create a great opportunity if it has supporting factors because to create financial freedom does not occur in a short time instantly.
594  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 21, 2023, 04:14:33 PM
Manchester City's current form I believe they have lost the Premier League trophy this season because of the key player De Bruyne's injury, which has caused them to lose form like last season, because before De Bruyne's injury Manchester City were playing well and everyone believed they would still win the trophy, but I am very sure Guardiola will not win the Premier League title this season. I believe Arsenal or Liverpool will win the league, but I believe on Liverpool most because arsenal like to fuck up in some games and they are playing with Liverpool this weekend, the match will be very tough because both of them are in good form and no one wants to lose the game, I think the match will end in a draw because if Liverpool makes a mistake and loses, Arsenal will get the opportunity to top the league table, and it will be very difficult for Liverpool to top the premier league table again.
Man City still has a chance to compete for the English League title with Arsenal and Liverpool because the match is still quite a lot left. Losing De Bruyne does have a far greater impact so that Man City loses the figure of creativity in the middle of the field. Pep Guardiola is a coach who has the ability to make players better and I am sure for that he has prepared a replacement for De Bruyne. Although now it has not been fully running perfectly, but in the second half of the season we will see Man City's power will be far more balanced than now.

Everyone will predict Liverpool and Arsenal who are a favorite of champions this season and this is naturally done because these two teams are still quite consistent so far in the league. But compared to Arsenal I also agreed that Liverpool would be a much stronger candidate because it was mentally speaking Jurgen Klopp and the players were far more prepared than Arsenal.
595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who should quit, and why? on: December 21, 2023, 03:25:06 PM
I had always played this local whot card game with my woman whenever she's around for the weekends because she's not always around due to her kind regards of job and the location far from home, so when she's around we play that game together for fun and entertain ourselves you know that lovebirds kind of thing. And I haven't seen her play any other game cause the purpose she plays that with me is not for money making but fun between two lovers.
How much budget you run out every time you play the card on the weekend because if you only decrease a small amount then I am sure this will not affect anything. Gambling will be more addicted if done routinely and I do not believe people say it is not addicted if gambling activities are carried out routinely. In my environment rarely people are involved in gambling with their partners because gambling is not a good deed according to the judgment of most people.

It is when he two couples/lovers introduce money into the game making it seem as a  challenge between the two that's when you have got to be worried if she can be capable of holding herself together going forward from falling into addiction , because what I discovered is that people that gamble for entertainment rarely fall into gambling addiction compared to those that gamble for money making.
The problem is addicted not to be based on challenges to play but because this activity is carried out irresponsible. Similarly, the couple and if the two are unable to maintain the proportion of gambling that spend a lot of money then it is worried that they will be addicted to who are unable to control themselves. In the end they will get a much greater problem because various problems will arise when finance is not better.
596  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Finally I did it (I am happy to join). on: December 21, 2023, 02:48:03 PM
I talked about my plans on how I can buy Bitcoin monthly, but I finally changed the plans, so I have save enough money through the help of my business (I have cars that I use for bolt business and I am making good profits from it).
Although I bought my first Bitcoin through a P2P transaction with an exchange wallet, after receiving my first coins I have to resend them to an electrum Bitcoin wallet because it is safer.
Congratulations for that and you are in the Bitcoin family at this time because there are still many people out there who do not have the opportunity to run investment. There is no detailed explanation of how you buy first for Bitcoin because what I read you changed the initial plan about the DCA pattern. If you have a large amount of capital then wait for the right moment to buy because the moment of decline will usually provide a large amount when you have the capital to buy more bitcoin.

After that, just make a long -term investment plan by storing bitcoin in a much safer wallet like the electrum that you say here. Everyone will try to take advantage of any conditions to buy bitcoin even though their capital is small but will not stop their intention to buy, because we know that bitcoin is one way to reach the stage of financial freedom.
597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your view on this? Is it fun or addiction? on: December 20, 2023, 04:47:27 PM
Do you see this as addiction or just catching of fun?
Your co-workers only engage in gambling on the weekends and whether they are addicted or not is likely only you and them who know about it.

Mind you, we just enjoy the moment and might just joke around with people making predictions based on the teams,  they love but we are mostly gamblers at our different ends.
If at this point you further emphasize that you are a gambler in various fields then I am sure you are an addicted gambler, but the difference is that you can handle it well. But the unpleasant part is when you are involved in gambling using loans and this is not good behavior for a gambler. If the gambling placement is much more addictive by relying on loans, it will give rise to many problems later.
598  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin create an opportunity to reduce poverty? on: December 20, 2023, 03:54:37 PM
I don't see Bitcoin as a solution to people's poverty because it is a volatile currency. Where there is a possibility of loss after investment. Moreover, those who are poor will not be able to keep enough money to buy bitcoins. But if one can buy and hold Bitcoin for a long time then he can definitely get multiple or more of his investment.
The problem is not the opportunity to change someone to be stronger in reaching the stage of financial freedom but rather how someone handles investments responsibly which does not put them in a state of panic which results in the risk of loss. In fact, poverty is a pretty big problem at the moment and just like you said, how can they be involved in investment if they don't have money to support it.

Poverty alleviation through Bitcoin is possible for those willing to take this risk. But one must take a decision after knowing well about Bitcoin. Investing here only for profit motive is more likely to reverse. It is an independent investment platform so anyone who invests here can be profited.
The risks in Bitcoin are much greater when someone doesn't understand how it works and I'm sure people who don't have good financial skills will never learn to understand it. Not everyone can overcome poverty through investing in bitcoin because it talks about the availability of capital and only a few people get involved in bitcoin when they do not have a balance of income and spending money for daily needs.

So far even if Manchester City fails to win the Premier League trophy, Pep Guardiola position will still not be shaken  and will be replaced so quickly. Manchester City gave Pep complete freedom to manage this team. Unless Pep himself resigns. But returning to the current  season there are still many opportunities open for the Citizen. If we  look at some time ago KDB has also started training again which is certainly good news  because his return to the main squad will definitely be full of great ambition to restore the club's ideal performance. It cannot  be denied that  Manchester City has experienced setbacks Haaland does not appear to play much of a role there is no sharp supply, it can be concluded that Manchester City is not as strong as when Gundogan and Mahrez were there.
It is still too early to say that Pep Guardiola has failed to bring Man City to the Premier League title this season because he still has many games left. Pep Guardiola's arrival at Man City brought many changes and became a team that was quite taken into account, so failing to bring Man City to the championship does not mean that Pep Guardiola should just be thrown away. The only reason he left was because his contract might end and he might plan to coach another club as a new challenge.

Losing De Bruyne has had quite a big impact on Man City because he is one of the players with a fairly high level of creativity in the team in building attacks. Apart from that, De Bruyne is also one of the players who often scores goals amidst the deadlock of several front players such as Haaland.

I think it's awkward. 2 Husband and wife are both people who like to gamble, and they see gambling as an entertaining game. The best solution is for them to teach children from a young age to know about gambling knowledge. Guide children towards healthy gambling in the future. Because even if you ban children, they will learn about gambling later because gambling is now widely advertised online. Teaching them about healthy gambling is probably a safer way.
There is nothing strange in the fact that this is what happens, although morally we rarely see this condition occur in one couple who are involved in gambling simultaneously. If the view of gambling that they carry out is only as entertainment and involved responsibly then in my opinion it is not a problem because I am sure if that is the scenario they will definitely be able to overcome financial problems and not get involved excessively.

There are rarely parents who intend to teach their children about gambling and in almost many places I visit there are no parents who are willing to teach their children about gambling because this is not the right choice for them.
