61  Economy / Economics / Re: Hyperinflation - Will it lead Countries to Adopt Bitcoin? on: May 16, 2024, 05:28:35 PM
Argentina's government can mine Bitcoin if ever they want and it's not related to the hyperinflation that they're having because it is just another source or business that they're having.

And most of the countries that are into hyperinflation, they're using other currencies that they can accept. Like for Venezuela, they're accepting US dollars and people there are using bank transfers for every purchase they make.

So, going with Bitcoin as their alternative currency for payments, it's not impossible just as in other countries. They've got merchants that are accepting payments in Bitcoin.



Exactly. Whether inflation or not, countries exploring the Bitcoin technology is the best way to go. I am somehow close to how governments are run, with the little information I have, exploring new ideas and sampling them on the country is the best way to sustainable development in any country. Countries that thrive the most are countries that take their time to explore new ideas and advancements, whereas, countries that do not open doors to technological advancements, have a delayed or lack development as a whole.

Bitcoin is one monumental advancement to the world of financial technology and the earlier governments open their arms to it, the better. Aspects that will greatly benefit the government will especially be via investments

Real Madrid is one of the best teams in the world, perhaps the best. Even though they are currently the championship team, they still continue to play matches with their best performance. By the way, we are very happy to watch our Turkish Diamond Arda Güler and see him score goals in every match. As the Turkish people, we are completely behind him.
Real Madrid wants to prove to us that they are still very strong and ready to win any club that crosses their parts. This is why I so much ha confidence in them that they are going to win Dortmund in the finals since they are used to winning.

Barcelona is good this season but not as strong as Real Madrid and that was proven in El Classico match, but one thing that I know is that if Barcelona don't bring in new players when the transfer window is open, they might not be able to win Real Madrid next season.

Do they still want to prove or they have already proven their capacity to crush any club that comes their way right now. They are at a top gears when it comes to delivery but I think they are not as good as Leverkusen in terms of being promising even though you can still rate the La Liga league over Bundesliga because in La Liga there are more troublesome and competitive clubs than found in the Bundesliga.

But this season, Barcelona is truly nothing to compare to the efforts Real Madrid is making to head the league table and still move to the final of the Champions league. The winning streak of Real Madrid will be wondrous if they are able to win La Liga and still go ahead and win Champions league

Who would have taught the matched between Manchester United and Newcastle who have ended with a 3:20 score and goals over 5 goals. It ended with a 1:0 in the first half but it seems they were waiting for the second half so that they can unleash their power. Today ended well in the favor of the Manchester United fans, i know the pain of losing in three consecutive games and had a first victory this month;. However there has been a transform a little bit in the way Manchester United play.

I expected them to win today since they played very well during their last match against Arsenal. Meanwhile talking about the games against Arsenal that would have been a win for Man U as well but they failed to utilize their chances.

Manchester United showed some powerful skills today as a team by winning against Newcastle. I think they are designed to win over less competitive teams like the Arsenal and Manchester City this season. With the pattern that Manchester United is playing their games, I doubt if they will be able to win over Manchester City in their upcoming game. I am scared for Arsenal right now since the only hope they have of winning this season of tournament is through the victory of Manchester United over Manchester City which seems to be daunting.
65  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 15, 2024, 09:51:18 PM

There is no doubt that Borussia Dortmund deserved this final, but I think they might want to take this game to penalties. They will need a lot of chances against Real Madrid and they might have taken some of them in previous matches. I also see Real Madrid as the favorite in this match and if Borussia Dortmund wins this match, I can only explain it with luck. Real Madrid has played excellent games this season, both in the league and the Champions League. Ancelotti has brought the friendship in the team to a very high level. In the final, Real Madrid will have 11 men who believe in winning the trophy.


I am one of the most anxious people to see the result of this final game. Champions league is one big tournament that people are always happy to reach. In fact, it is one trophy that every club in the Europe dreams of. Luckily enough, Real Madrid have been the Champions in the world because they have taken the trophy much more than any other club had. They have become the best club in the Champions league and here they are again this year to witness another yet amazing final which is slated on the 1st of June.

If Dortmund is able to take this trophy they will almost go mad with celebration because this will be another time they will be making it happen again for the second time. It will be a special day and year for them and the entire club will be happy to witness such greatness.

Bro you really nail this one, I no dey like to dey read diz terms and condition.years back, my friend bin convinced me to invest with a forex company,as I reach d company, dem com give me form say make I fill am,after I finish filling the form,I no even bother to read the terms and conditions and the funniest part be say, d customer care com ask me say weda I don read the terms and conditions,I com tell  her No, say the write too plenty to read say make she forget about that one. like diz eh,before I sign any agreement,I dey always take my time read the terms and conditions.

I am also the same. I am as guilty as others I have issues with reading terms and conditions or manuals in general. I can say it is our tradition as Africans, or maybe as Nigerians because it is almost in our blood not me alone until you learn how to avoid it. The only way you can avoid it is through your learning culture. You have to adopt a learning culture that will force you to read because reading terms and conditions are some of the best thing everyone is expected to do. I have heard of story about people who injure themselves from machines because of a simple failure to read terms and conditions or manuals of such machines. Because of these and more, which includes when I became more open to working as a digital marketer, I have found need and necessity in reading of manuals, terms and conditions of any thing I come across with. I try to avoid the lazy spirit that disallow me from doing so.
67  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Naira have been recorded to be worst performing currency in the world on: May 15, 2024, 09:23:58 PM
It was the best performing when it appreciated in price from ₦1600 to ₦1001 to a dollar. But it later decreased to ₦1460 which is now the price as I was posting this. Naira is too volatile. I saw the news recently but I was not surprised about it. There is no way the government will want to manipulate, the economy will determine the price of fiat.

The thing about Naira appreciation and depreciation is tied towards the economy of the country. The reality remains that if we as a nation are not ready yet to change the status quo and work on the true solution to our very unstable economy, it will always affect our currency which will fluctuate in the uptrend and downtrend. What I expect the government to do, which they are currently doing is to work towards strengthening on our GDP and increasing our investments on local production. Nigeria has all it takes to be a major producer of most demanding products in the world, including mineral resources as well as iron ore and coal, all we need to do is to properly explore these areas and commercialize them. Government needs to go into as much PPP arrangements as possible with private sector to make this happen. This is just one aspect amongst others that we can explore.
68  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing all your fortune with just 3 years on: May 12, 2024, 09:02:15 PM
This event happened in 2009 but the moral is evergreen. This story is a reminder that one can lose a fortune on gambling if there is no control. We don't have to wait until we suffer the same situation which will make us regret later, it is time to have a gambling budget and gamble responsibly. His greatest undoing was gambling under the influence of alcohol and illicit drugs. At this point, he would have totally lost control of his ability to reason which would lead to continued losses.

I honestly don't still understand why people drug themselves while gambling when they are fully aware that gambling has to do with money and a wrong decision could cause someone his financial life. Imagine if you're going into a business and signing a contract when you are drunk. How do you ensure you are taking the right decision during such period?

I like to see gambling like that especially when money is involved. Although it is a past time for people, but a chunk number of people who play gambling today are absolutely after making the profits therefore playing it with all their intellects and energy to win.

The advice I will give to any one already deeply into gambling is not to gamble when they are depressed or when they are drunk and must always gamble responsibly especially with what they can afford to lose.
69  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 12, 2024, 08:46:50 PM

The match ended 5-0, they played incredibly against Bochum. Actually, they didn't need to play so seriously, I think they crushed their opponent too much. Bochum is already a weak team, they have no claim in the league. Despite this, they scored 5 goals.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were many more goals, it was a terrible night for Bochum Cheesy

Leverkusen are on fire right now. They are the indispensable in the Bundesliga league and can be regarded as the giants of the season with a recorded winning streak of 50 matches unbeaten and 33 of these matches are of this season and all were won by the club with zero lost since they started. They have only drew in 6 matches. How amazing they sound right now.

Bayern Munich who are coming as second in the league table have lost 7 whole matches and draw in 3 whereas Stuttgart have lost 7 and draw in 4. This landmark achievement by the Leverkusen have placed them high in the league much more that they 15 points ahead of the second club which is Bayern Munich. Leverkusen have just 3 matches to end the season, let's take for instance, if they decide to fail in those coming matches, they will still remain unbeaten in the table standing.

Mikel Arteta was tactical all through the game. Erik Ten Hag should be sack? What are your thoughts on this trend? Manchester United is no longer consider to be threat to elite teams, they keep losing points against average and elite opponents and they're now ranked 8th position on the table which is not a good result for them. Arsenal dominated the game but failed to net more goals than expected. Coming to Old Trafford to face the Red Devils and won them but it was not with ease efforts, they struggle to maintain their lead.

I am mostly of the opinion that Eric Ten Hag should go. Because I don't think he's taking the best out of them as a manager. Let's ignore the injury crisis within the club now and look at how Manchester United was poorly managed to the position of 8 in the table ranking and still likely to lose more points if they continue like this and probably fall below the current position below West Ham who are just 2 points behind them presently.

Both Manchester United and Chelsea were almost birds of same feather in this season because they could not maximize their potentials as elite clubs in the league. And if you may ask me, I will like to say that I see more of the faults coming from the managers than I see from the players, per se.
71  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Another site to scam people on: May 12, 2024, 08:16:20 PM
This things are seasonal and we have to be wise to understand them if not we go fall for their trap one day. And the worst part be say those who dey close to use and once they are interested to dis kind of Ponzi Schemes, the matter you go tell them dem no go hear you until dem lost their money before their eyes go clear for them. There was a time dem send me a link to make a referral for about 20 persons on WhatsApp to win about #100k and I did it after doing it and nothing happened so I just left the Website and deleted everything.

And as you tok am dem dey use dey find people to cause traffic to their pages. We should be careful with them.

I think most of these kind of sites are used for generating web traffic so they can make some gains in return. Some are weblinks to some ads so that as much as you try to click on their links, you generate more Pay-Per-Clicks to their online ads. While others could mean more negative harm to you when you click on them as they lead you to sites that can hack your financial details and so on.

For me, I have resolved not to attend to any web link that talks about making money for such tasks especially when they lack clarity from inception. I also look at things like the https link to confirm if they are secured websites or phising sites before I visit such sites. One thing I ensure I do is to also Google the domain name of the site and probably do a background check on the other sites it's associated to whether it has got external links with good reputation or otherwise. This is when I do finally take decision to enter the website.
72  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is Bitcoin A Safe Haven Asset For Investment? on: May 12, 2024, 08:00:27 PM
I must tell you the truth there is nothing like a safe heaven. No one knows what the future would be, calling Bitcoin a safe heaven is like saying there is nothing that could possibly go wrong if we invest in Bitcoin. Investment is a risk and there is risk in investing in Bitcoin as an asset. The reason why Bitcoin is the most preferred asset that is being preached about to invest in is because it has proven itself over the years to not fail. And people who had invested in it has gotten good profit since the existence of Bitcoin.

Well, it is good that we try to clarify things like this to those who are still new to these things so they can see the most realistic aspect of the bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Like most platforms, the Bitcoin technology has its ups and downs too and people are working towards understanding the uptrend of the market so as to protect her assets.

Like you mentioned, invest comes with risks and likewise in the bitcoin technology. It is not MMM where people make quick money without undergoing the pain of taking such investment risks. The opportunities in the crypto technology are enormous but we must advocate more about people learning the rigorous process of investing, through the DCA approach and Lumpsum.
73  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How to avoid bitcoins and other crypto fraud on: May 11, 2024, 10:01:00 PM
1. Don't send cryptocurrency to people who claim they will "double your money."

From the moment you hear someone bringing idea such as doubling your money should strongly be discouraged especially when it has to do with ads coming your way should be discarded. Secondly, if you do not know the user bringing up such deals, you are strongly advised not to fall for then no matter how mouthwatering
74  Economy / Economics / Re: A lot wealthy people not smart they just use debt on: May 11, 2024, 08:31:26 PM
If wealthy people use debt to get rich and richer, isn't this kind of like the secret to being wealthy? Poor people should simply follow in that footsteps too. They should go the bank and take out a loan, you it to start up a small business and stay committed to it and when the business booms, they can be able to pay off their debts with the interest. They don't have to take a large amount out as loan initially so that they are not under too much pressure, they should start with something small and build up from there. This is one way that they can build wealth.

I don't think that's smart enough for the poor to jump into loans in the name of copycating what the wealthy people do. No any one, whether rich or poor should go that route. Secondly, anyone taking loan from either an individual or government supported loans, should first evaluate what they intended to do with the debt their incurring and also sought for how they can recover their loaned money before the deadline they must have given.

Aside from other life threatening cases that may warrant people to borrow money solve those issues alias safe lives, it is discouraged by wise men not to go into loans that can be wasted easily rather than taking loans for the sake of productivities.
75  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 11, 2024, 08:18:48 PM
Napoli lost at home with a score of 0-2 against Bologna and with results like this I become curious, who is the Napoli coach for next season. Because after all, Francesco Calzona is also only given a contract until the end of this season and it seems, there are still no strong rumors about who the Napoli coach is for next season. Because anyway, falling behind since the first half but Napoli really couldn't afford to score even one goal. Despite the fact,in the second half Napoli also had good dominance compared to the first half but still, Napoli were still unable to score in this home match. Because I think, this match will have a lot of goals because I think Napoli will have a good effort also because Napoli also plays at home, but the reality is that Napoli still fails.

Of all the matches I watched between yesterday and today, the match between Napoli and Bologna was the most annoying one to me. While I celebrate Bologna for their effort to win over Napoli with two goals to none, I also want to acknowledge that Napoli has lost it already in this season and have in fact continued to showed their weaknesses including in this match. I think any great player seen as an asset in the club will be looking for alternatives right now.

These things are quite disappointing especially when other clubs are putting in the efforts to make their fans proud, yet Napoli is doing otherwise. Yesterday, Inter was able to beat Frosinone widely with goal difference of 5 to none. Today, Milan is already ahead with 2 goals to 1 against Cagliari where the latter are also putting their efforts to re-equalize but Napoli could not do the same with Bologna when they seemed promising at a time during the season. They must wake up their slumber with these poor performances.
76  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: May 11, 2024, 07:56:00 PM

Real Madrid is better than them, which is why they can't control the defence well. I expected Real Madrid to draw the game because they had already won the league, allowing Grenada to avoid relegation, but they didn't do well against Real Madrid, who won the game 4-0 without their key players. Ancelotti's first and second elevens are strong, and Madrid is unstoppable in the league. Jeselo, however, is not a strong player for Madrid and should be moved next season. He has only two goals in the Champions League. Am just waiting for Madrid's game vs Dortmund to know who will definitely get the luck and win the trophy this season.


If you ask me of my personal opinion on who should take the trophy of the Champions league title back home, I will, with all sense of humility, vote for Dortmund over Real Madrid, and my reasons are not more than just that I feel like Real Madrid has had it severally but Dortmund has only gotten that opportunity once and it was in the year 1997. If they can afford to win the trophy this one more time, it will rekindle a long time history that will make the club and the players champions of their time. Whereas Real Madrid is just going to celebrate as usual. You ask whether i am perssimistic over the success of the Real Madrid, I say no. In fact, they have worked hard for the position they have placed themselves today and deserve to be celebrated too.

But, football doesnt have to accept my opinion, as in the end, only the best man shall be awarded, meaning on the club that made the most effort, that won the trophy.

Quote
Granada has already been relegated all they need to do now is perform well next season and they will have a chance to return to La Liga. If Barcelona wins their next match, they would return to second place after Girona drew their last encounter yesterday.

Granada should learn from Girona, what it takes to be great in a league like La Liga where Real Madrid and Barcelona giants reside. However, Girona has proven to the world of soccer that they are Jinxs breakers and that they can make possibilities out of what might ordinarily seem impossible to the bare eyes.

Fulham vs Manchester City. The last time Fulham was able to hold Manchester City draw on September 18, 2011, after that Fulham was completely unable to take 1 point when they face Manchester City both when playing home or away. The question is, is it possible that in the midst of Manchester City's ambitions to win the Premier League title this season they will be careless when facing Fulham? I don't think it will happen.

I actually worry about Arsenal to win the match against Manchester United even though in terms of interests I don't want Manchester City to win the four -season PL Trophy in a row.

I share the same view with you on this, about Arsenal being able to Win Manchester United in their fixture while Manchester City plays with Fulham. I don't think Fulham can beat Manchester City because their last 5 fixtures was a straight win for Manchester City over the Fulham club. Fulham never had the opportunity to win both home and away and now that the ManCity guys are more prepared, one won't expect anything less.

As for Arsenal vs Manchester United, I also see the last fixture against both teams and Arsenal gave them a 3 over 1 win. Will Arsenal be able to replicate the same efforts in tomorrow's game is what I can't say but hope for Arsenal to achieve to as to further accelerate their winning streaks.

United have a good record against big teams. They can make surprises. But in this match United lost many important players. This is a problem for Ten Hag. Arsenal has the motivation to maintain their hopes of winning the EPL trophy. United still have a chance to get fifth but I think it will be difficult. It could be said that United did not have any motivation in that match and that could make them play without pressure. I can't pick in this match because United could spring a surprise. I think the match will end in a draw again.

Due to the way I wish Arsenal so well in this season, I will be the most glad and happiest to celebrate their victory. I have a believe that Manchester United can win over Manchester City at the end of the day so they need to be strong and resilient
79  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Is this government just all about taxes? on: May 10, 2024, 09:40:01 PM
Nigeria and it's government is just one funny set of individuals because I really don't know what is wrong with them and come to think that they are actually fighting to make things easy for the common but yet still inflating and adding nonchalant extra bills on the citizens transaction, Omo it's just like for every government the matter just gets worse and worse . I know no if na official money laundering dem wan do all the Nigerian citizens

I'm not really against the taxation system of the Tinubu administration because no country can survive its economy without taxes. Developed countries ride on the same path to sustain their own economy and internally generated revenue IGR over a long period of time. What I will not be happy about will be any form of double taxation, where the government will impose several spots of taxing a citizen at different points. Most the times, the micro small and medium enterprise ecosystem are more affected which subdues their business incomes and make a lot of businesses to collapse. If this administration can treat a clean sheet on its revenue services, it will go along way to bring about boosting our economy.

Watin you talk no be lie but i want make you sef know say without the commercial banks fiat cash no go dey, at least for this country we still get pipo wey no dey like to deal on anything bank transactions. Watin I dey mean be say even if say you dey deal on crypto currency things or you dey like to do transfer for anything wey you won guy. Oga e still get day when we go reach you go need fiat cash to do watin you won do. That one nai be the only things we dey make e be like say even if you no go bank you go must use fiat. And the small road side post people them dey always help us no matter the charges wey them dey collect from us, e no dey easy to go stand for front of ATM machine from morning to night and sometimes you no go get the money wey you really need. Bitcoin dey help relieve us from stress but government just dey frustrate us so that wey no go invest for Bitcoin again but the funny part be say them no go fit fight against crypto currency.

Sometimes as we they discuss the differences wey they between crypto and fiat, we suppose they also emphasize on the face that the fiat currency is as important as the crypto technology today and they both operate differently and can as well operate intertwined. The centralized system also known as the fiat which is operated by the banking system is predominantly managed by the governments whereas the decentralized system also known as the crypto platforms are operated and managed by individuals. Everyone operating in a decentralized system does not require any intermediaries from the government or banking system to function and I think that's the edge it has over the centralized system.
