Some people think the bitcoin price is already high, and even if they invest in bitcoin currently, they won't be making a high return. They will end up going for shitcoins without knowing that they are setting trap for themselves. If you invest in bitcoin now and are ready to hold it for a long term, if you can do so, then you will be getting a high reward from bitcoin as well, and you will have peace of mind because the risk involved in bitcoin is less than the risk involved when investing in shitcoin. A shit coin can crash at any moment and all your money will be gone. Some shit coins are created just to scam investors, and if you are looking for quick money, then you will end up falling victim.
You are right a lot of people think this way, they think because bitcoin price is high they won’t be able to realize any reasonable profit but I believe those people don’t know much about bitcoin and don’t know bitcoins potential and capabilities that’s why they think shitcoin will be more profitable. It’s probably because they lack knowledge of cryptocurrency. shitcoins can be profitable when at their earliest stage of development but they are not safe investments for any individual because they can crash and become dead and worthless at anytime and that’s why it has more risks, hence the name Shitcoins. Unlike shitcoins, bitcoin can never be a dead project instead it is the master driver to all other coins, it determines the movement of the price of all other coins so why choose to invest in a coin that is inferior to bitcoin and expect more returns and less risk.

Every game will be boring. Inter Milan vs Atletico is probably the best draw this round.
Both teams this season have produced great attacking numbers to go along with their great defense.
But I hope this is a good thing, as it will lead to the best quarterfinal matchups in history, assuming the favorites go through this round.
I don’t think all games will be boring, they might not seem tough but a lot of games here will be interesting like the Napoli vs Barcelona is not a bad fixture, both teams are not at their best but they will both give us a good fight. It is just as you said Inter vs Athletico Madrid is the best fixture because they are both good attacking teams with good run of form so far and they seem to match each other’s level perfectly.

The Quarter Final and Semi Final will be more interesting after the best teams have qualified and starts to face each other head on. Imagine a game of PSG vs Real Madrid in the semifinals, will definitely be a must watch match. Let’s hope all the favorites emerge victorious.

Villarreal team performance was not good, Villarreal team lost by a wide margin while fighting against Real Madrid. Most of the time in this match Real Madrid was in control, I can say from the equation that 60% of the ball was in favor of Real Madrid and the remaining 40% of the ball was in favor of Villarreal team. And Real Madrid attacked the goal post the most and here too there is a wide gap between the two teams. Real Madrid had 22 shots on goal and Villarreal had 3. So there was a huge difference between the two teams on the field of play.

Real Madrid was just so good against them, they couldn’t show anything at all and the better side just got more goals. Madrid was in total control and went 2 goals up before the end of the first half, Villarreal was able to put one back not too long into second half and we all thought it was game on and we might see a comeback but Madrid showed how determined they were to top the league they were outstanding and the scoreling proves they can do better.

We still need to see the outcome of the game between Girona vs Alaves and see where the outstanding performance puts Real Madrid. If Girona wins they will still retain their first place and Madrid will be second place with 2 points behind Girona.

AC Milan had a flashy and strong win. They get these kinds of victories from time to time. Milan started the match quickly. Tijjani Reijnders scored Milan's first goal in the third minute. Reijnders draws attention with his play in the central midfield this season.
They dominated the match and they were the better side so the deserved the win. It could have been more flasy if Pulisic’s fine curler attempt was to have scored but he was unlucky and hit the crossbar. They missed couple of chances to increase the lead but it was a brilliant performance from them.

18-year-old young defender Simic came on as a substitute in his first match and scored his first goal. It was a perfect start and I'm sure it was a great feeling for him. This match looked like Milan was showing signs of a comeback.
Definitely a great feeling for the youngster and a perfect debut, the whole Milan fans and players were happy and cheered him, everyone was happy for him. I believe it will be a boost for him and we hope to see many more goals from the youngster.

It was a great match defensively by Manchester United, The red devils didn't give away many big chances. They had some opportunities to counter-attack in the second half. A good stratigy allowed them share the point with liverpool.Contrats to the united for the draw and be the first team to come away with a point from Anfield this season in the Premier League.
Manchester United seem to be more careful when playing a bigger club that’s why they didn’t give away much chances and that way they always seem to play better but they still need to work on their attacking and finishing and also they should keep a consistent performance when they are faced with smaller opponents. In my opinion I think Liverpool should have performed better so they can maintain the top spot and probably lead till the end of the first round.


Mark my words.

This will the last year of Guardiola at Manchester City-

He will take a break after imho.
LOL… I hope it is. Despite winning the league multiple times he would testify that the premier league is a very challenging league with lots of dramas and surprises, he has done alot for the club though and have lifted almost all the trophies they compete for so it would be best for him to resign for City.
 And probably manage Chelsea next Grin

So City gave up on two points, nice. Smiley
Now Arsenal have to beat Brighton and United do something good for the first time and play better against Liverpool. There's an open path for Gunners, I don't really care about Aston Villa. They won't be here forever anyway. The only threat is Liverpool for now after City self-destructed.
Everyone was surprised, i couldn’t watch the match so i followed up online and after City was two goals up i just concluded the match was over and City had won but I guess I forgot this is the premier league, the league full of dramas and surprises. City giving up two points in Etihad Stadium to Crystal Palace after going two goals up is a really a thing of surprise.

Arsenal had the chance to increase their lead when they were first place but failed and lost a matches to Newcastle. Brighton cannot be underrated at all but Arsenal needs to utilize this opportunity in case Manchester United surprises us today.

If you think this is the best thing for then Good for you because no one can decide for you what to do with your money or properties.

I hope you didn’t invest due to FOMO and i hope you are aware of the risk involved in cryptocurrency because it is not a get rich quick scheme. Also, hope you researched properly on the best choice of wallet and how to securely store and safeguard both your private key and your coins because you are responsible for them.

Afraid of what exactly? A goal they luckily scored at 88 minutes, it was a home game for them, I expected them to even have more than that goal and expected Marseille to go hard on them to equalized or had a goal initially but I was disappointed and there incompetent cost me $420 from my bets. It was so painful that all my over 1.5 goals or draw came as predicted but Brighton couldn't lunch more goals as I expected and you think they will eat Arsenal like a raw meat, hell no. We have come far to fall into their pit this time around.
A goal luckily scored you say? It doesn't matter how a goal is scored all that matters is that it was recorded on the score sheet. Mistakes are also part of the game and when the pressure heats up mistakes happens, i didn't watch the game though but i noticed Brighton have not been at their sharp best recently and they are a bit inconsistent. They played at home and needed to win the match anyhow anyhow so a one goal lead was enough for them.

I think Arsenal lost to Aston Villa has made many of you to ridicule the Gunners but Aston Villa are just a stepping stone that tested the waters of Arsenal. Watch out how Arsenal will avenge that into the next team they have match with because that mistake cost our standing in the top 4. Meanwhile, Liverpool are already ahead and running on lowkey, I'm impress by their recent performances but Arsenal will soon come back and take that place but this time stronger.
Arsenal should not be underestimated even though their performance have dropped a bit. Aston villa is strong enough to challenge any team in the league right now seeing how they defeated Manchester city should send a message to everyone not to underrate them. Arsenal still have a stubborn team to play on Sunday and they cannot be underrated because Brighton has also proven to be a strong opponent. Arsenal needs to make use of this opportunity to take back the first position because Liverpool will be playing against Manchester United which is a big match even if Manchester United is in poor form they can be a tough opponent for any big team.

I've read so many threads where people assert that they sold or intend to sell an asset just because they want to invest in Bitcoin, while this might present the person as someone who believes so much in Bitcoin and even went to the extent of selling an asset just to invest into it, is it the right thing to do?

Despite being one of the most valuable assets in the world, selling other properties to invest in bitcoin is not the wisest course of action. We should not ignore the risks involved, even if we all know it has a great potential to increase in value over time. Even cryptocurrency experts will advise us not to invest money that we cannot afford to lose, since selling property to invest in bitcoin already indicates that you are investing money that you cannot afford to lose.

And I guess this is the reason why a lot of people can't hold their bitcoin for a while before selling it off in times of minor challenges.
Indeed, I don't think someone who can sell a property to purchase bitcoin can hold onto it for very long because they would likely sell it the moment they encountered a small financial setback. These individuals can't hold onto it for a long time especially when the price is declining, they will panic and sell off their investment because they invested what they don't want to lose.

Imagine he knew all this by the age of 9? I can sense that he can do more in the future and more technical than bitcoin. A lots of users doing crypto arent really old people butt some are quite young and still on their early phase of life. They are lucky to be exposed with this kind of environment unlike before that to learn bitcoin you must deal with it and none are really helpful about it.

His parents likely doing crypto too and teaches their kid.
This is a sign that bitcoin will become even more popular and powerful with time that more countries will accept bitcoin and adopt it as well as it will legalized in many countries, time is all we need. The development of bitcoin as been massive but we don’t see it and get surprised everytime we witness something of such as a young kid teaching others about bitcoin, we might think bitcoin is still far behind but it gone far beyond our expectations.

A lot of young people are exposed to bitcoin technology and they are really lucky to have been exposed at an early stage. It is also good for parents to teach their children about bitcoin so it won’t be hard when they grow older.

The ball is in the court of Victor, he might decide to extend his contract or leave for another club. He recently stated that he has put his issues with Napoli behind him and that he has forgiven them for the insult he received on their social media platform. If he is still happy in Italy, I think he would sign a new deal, otherwise, he might consider leaving because many clubs can give him a more lucrative contract than what he would be offered by Napoli.
Is Victor Osimehn happy in Italy? If you ask me I would say Last season he was so happy but i can’t say the same this season, Napoli’s performance has dropped drastically and it has affected his performance as well as Kvaraschehlia’s and the scandal that happened also contributed a lot to all this. He might have forgiven then but how certain are we that they won’t repeat the same thing when things turn out bad again in the future. When he makes his decision we will know if he is happy in Italy and if he still wants to stay and fight for the club. The offer is very tempting but i hope he makes the right decision for himself

Osimhen coming to Chelsea is not visible, people are only pushing that because he like Chelsea club as a kid but you and I know what is inside a business. Even as an adult, you may like something but the professional and career comes before anything and you might not considered such deal.
Visible or not Chelsea desperately needs a striker and not just any striker a world class striker, the whole club is aware of this already and they are considering a lot of strikers though but the Nigerian forward will definitely suit Chelsea better. If Osimhen really wants to leave and Chelsea has enough money to buy him then it will be a done deal even though it will not be easy as it seems.

I Just saw an update from Fabrizio Romano stating that Victor Osimehn is about to be handed a new contract which will make him one of the highest earning players in the history of the team and new deal will be valid till 2026. This is sad news for Chelsea if Osimhen signs this contract because it will be even more difficult to sign him to Chelsea.

Group F has been very exciting so far. We are in the final minutes of both matches. Milan have just got ahead against Newcastle by making a huge comeback. But still PSG can finish the group in 2nd place despite having the same points with Milan in the live standings. PSG must be really grateful for that equalizer now. If Dortmund win the match PSG are just over.
Newcastle gave it their best but i guess it was not enough to be able to progress to the next round and it proves that they inexperienced in the league. They did their best and it will be difficult to notice they are first timers. I was more surprised to see them perform in the hottest group in the competition and until the final minutes it was difficult to predict the team that will progress to the next round along side Borrussia Dortmund.

I thought at first that PSG was going to top the group but they failed to perform to expectation, they were even lucky to have qualified to the knockout stage and the equalizer just saved the day for them. I am trying to picture how PSG would feature in the Europa league if they had lost the match.

In the recent match between Chelsea and Everton, where Chelsea faced a defeat, there's a bit of uncertainty about whether James' injury was the main reason for Chelsea's loss. However, let's consider another perspective – perhaps Everton is just performing exceptionally well lately. If you take a look at Everton's recent games, they've been on fire. Out of the last eight matches, they only lost one to Manchester United and had a draw in another.

It’s unfair to blame Chelsea’s defeat on James as no one ever plans to be injured, it is a natural something but I would blame the medical staffs regarding James injury and some other injuries in the team, they seem to be doing a terrible job and it could be why James have been getting injured more often. I think Chelsea’s loss was due to the overall team performance and not just because a player is missing out, Chelsea have been poor in recent games and Everton have been performing well that’s why they won the match. I don’t know what’s happening to Chelsea but they need to step up their game else they could find themselves in the relegation zone.

James is a crucial player that adds quality to the team but he is not yet fully fit and I will suggest he opts for the surgery so he can fully recover and help the team as usual. I think the problem with Chelsea is from the dressing room and they better resolve it fast so we can start seeing the Chelsea that played against Manchester City and Arsenal again.
616  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You must have a source on: December 13, 2023, 01:31:47 PM
You must have a source of income if you must succeed in your holdings.
This is not required, but it is quite significant. Some people are such good investment managers that they don't have the sense of spending a portion of their investment to solve difficulties even when they don't have a source of income. It is really difficult, and only a few people can withstand the stress.  Having a source of income makes investing easier because you don't have to worry about or refer to your portfolio when you need money, making it easier to succeed in your investment.

It is preferable to keep an emergency reserve separate from your investing capital for unexpected financial emergencies.

For the few years I have been into cryptocurrency, I have discovered that you can't hold till the right time if your don't have a source of income. Just imagine that you have a pressing basic needs like feeding or rent, then you don't have money  to finance it, you will be forced to sell your Bitcoin at a loss if you don't have a source of income outside your holdings.
If you fail to implement an emergency fund strategy and are in an urgent need of financial assistance to address an urgent emergencies it is acceptable to lend money from your investment with the purpose of replacing the money as soon as possible.

Most people that have sold their Bitcoin holdings at a loss or at an average price actually have the patience but don't have the knowledge of how to hold, because a good holder must be aware that he needs a source of income for him to be able to consolidate to his holdings.
I believe it is simply a lack of self-discipline on the part of many investors, and it appears that they invest blindly without a well-drafted investment plan. Also, I believe they lack proper understanding of the bitcoin concept, since they are not hesitant about selling at any small financial obstacle. Having a source of income makes investing easier, and without one, you will be breaking a major rule of investing by not investing an amount you can afford to lose, which is a bad investment habit.

Personally, a a bettor, I find it very stressful when watching the game you are betting especially if it will end up a losing bet.
That’s probably because you gambled more money than you can afford to lose or maybe you are gambling for money and not for fun. When you gamble for fun i believe you will not feel stressed when losing a bet even if you are watching the game as it goes on.

No one wants to lose in any game so the reason for being stressed out is natural, i think it’s imbedded in all humans to feel disappointed when things are not going our way especially when something is at stake. When watching a live game you gambled on and things are not going as predicted i also get furious and that’s the more reason I don’t watch matches I gamble on and it’s the more reason i stick to gambling for fun and only staking an amount I believe i can afford to lose.
618  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and patience on: December 13, 2023, 08:17:01 AM
The solution for this aside from having patience is divert your attention to something else, its not healthy or good or your mind and decision to always monitor or looking at your holding, you see that is the common problem of many bitcoin or crypto currency investors, they tend to always look at their assets and monitoring it, well its not bad to monitor your asset what's not good is 24/7 or spending a lot of time just to looking at your assets, it will not help in fact it will influence you mind and decision to you to act either way, if you see the price goes down there will be an anxiety that you will feel and forced you to exit your holding which is not goof, you see bitcoin investment needs a long term wait to see its profit and downside of price is part of the process that's why technical analysis and charting skills is very important for you to plat your target price or your entry and exit trade.

You have a point but even though you are able to divert your attention into some other thing it will be difficult to totally forget about your investment and whenever you come across a news regarding bitcoin you will instantly realize that you have an investment somewhere and will be forced to check on it. It in our nature to always monitor our investments and it’s the best thing to sometimes but all that really matters is having the right mindset to be able withstand any form of temptation that will make us want to sell off when things are going wrong.

Most people who sell when price is moving downward lack self discipline, they need to understand the concept of cryptocurrency and that it pays off when you are patient enough even when things are going wrong, somedays are hard and sometimes things get better. It is very wrong to sell at loss when prices are low because eventually the price will still rise again so having a price target to realize profit is a good strategy.

Glazers have spent more on players in recent seasons than every club in the PL except Chelsea. Man Utd fans love to blame the Glazers but the Glazers aren’t spending the money themselves, they’re not buying crap players for massive fees and coaching them.

Bayern have just gone 1-0 up, Man Utd are going out. Maguire and Shaw injured now too. Their next game…….Liverpool at Anfield **rubs hands together**
Wow *smiles*, so many bad news in a day for the Red Devils. What a day for them and the fans, After winning against Chelsea just a few days back to losing back to back matches to Bournemouth and Bayern Munich (if they lose today)

Harry Maguire who has been impressive lately has sustained an injury which is going to be a huge blow for them as there is no available substitute to replace him. I never expected Maguire to be an important player after being treated badly as an out cast.

I say this with so much joy as another lose awaits United, without Maguire and Luke Shaw there will be a huge void to be filled and I doubt if the coach can utilize other players in such a that there would be no problem. Liverpool are top of the league and have been having an impressive run of form so i guess they have another free point coming their way. I guess it’s too many bad news for Ten Hag as another defeat awaits him during the weekend.
