This weekend, on Saturday, a brand-new chapter in the Premier League will begin with Manchester City taking on Brentford. Although Brentford is also good and plays well, given that they drew with Chelsea and lost 4:0 to Aston Villa, I don't believe Brentford has a chance to defeat Man City. their record this season in the premier league is very poor after so many draws.
I think I should make it to be brief. I did not even have to make more analyses to know which club is better, it can easily be seen as from just the last five matches played and the matches played from the beginning of this season. Manchester City has not draw it or lose at Etihad Stadium, all matches played there are all won. Brentford in away matches, has not won just a single match, but lost and drew most of the matches played. The problem is that the odd to stake this kind of match is always small, but Manchester City is highly likely to win. Going for first half win is not bad all.
First half win seems like a nice bet but the odd isn't encouraging. Etihad Stadium will be too corrosive for Brentford because Brentford hasn't won a single away match this season all the have managed to get in their away games are draws which sums up to 4 away draws. ManCity draws were from away matches where the played against the third best club in the PL this season and Aston Villa who specialises in giving big teams tough time. Even their lose to Liverpool was marginal. City can get a clean sheet from Brentford

I will book ticket for Bayern Munich in the final they are the perfect team in the group stage managed to win all the matches
As for the opponent, I predict between Real Madrid and PSG these two teams still have a strong chance in the final
And Manchester City of course still have a chance but somehow I doubt they will go to the final, at least for now.
it's still too soon we judge the team for the final. now everyone has a chance for the final which is still a long way off. what do you mention because they are favorites in every season.
Munich, PSG, Madrid and Man City. everyone has a chance. why not include Napoli and Liverpool? both are also a formidable team. even Liverpool were candidates in the previous season.
Bayern happen to be the only club that finished their group stage without a draw nor lose. Mancity, Benfica and PSG had two draws each. This doesn't stop the fact that they all have equal chances but the possibility of Bayern playing in the finals is higher compared to other club. The have the highest game composure and team understanding in the champions League

Damn , i am really disappointed about Dortmund and how they managed to lose against Wolfsburg as i havnt expected that result.
Also i havnt expected that Bayern Munich will be scoring so much goals and destroying Werder Bremen in that high.
And the next surprising result is that Bochum has won against Gladbach , not much right bets for me today , lol .
Dortmund seems to be putting another level of energy in the Champions League matches more than Bundesliga matches. If they put the kind of energy they put in Champions League in Bundesliga they won't to be losing to teams like Wolfsburg.

As for Bayern Munich, they are back to their birth rite, no one will take it from them, not even this season.  The team is so strong.

Even in the Champions League group stage they were not at their very best they were only lucky to have ManCity has the only opposition on the same group with them. They succeeded in getting only 9 points from 6 matches home and away with more draws than wins. Dortmund needs to improve both on the Bundles League and CL as they prepare to meet Chelsea at Signal Iduna Park.

Bayern are back to what they know how to do best winning with big goal margins. When  Werder got their equalising goal in the 10' i knew the match will be flooded with more goals but 6 was too much of an expectation.

Losing money on investing is a frightening proposition. However, you can protect your money and reduce stress in a falling market by avoiding five common pitfalls made by crypto investors.

Panic
Putting in Emotional Efforts
Investing short-term
Overtrading
Mental Health


Learn More: https://mycryptoparadise.com/5-common-mistakes-to-avoid-during-a-crypto-bear-market/
Be more specific with avoiding short term investment. Most cryptos are best with short term investment. It is more like a hit and run project. Wait for a pump take the profit and walkout on the coin but when talking about Bitcoin investment then short-term investment doesn't work well because it takes a long time to make a bull run, another long time to make a correction and a longer time to consolidate.

Overtrading is what makes many good strategy of less effect. Less trading and more reviews will boast any trading strategy because it gives so much time to look out for possible loopholes and mistakes but Overtrading keeps the focus on making profit not minding if the strategy is well applied.

Mental Health is like a key to any good result. Stay safe because the market is always busy and profitable. I have a trading target every week and i make sure once i hit that target i close trading for that week even if it takes me two days to makes that very amount i end my trade then have enough time to examine myself, my strategy and possible improvements ahead of the next week

Napoli just did the expected thing and won their Empoli match with a very dominant game. After a win over Atalanta away, this wasn't a big deal for Napoli at all. They have increased their unbeaten streak to fourteen matches this season. I will be expecting another win over Udinese next time. But the away match against Inter after that one could be really interesting. Napoli haven't had any issues against the other big teams of the league so far. Beating the closest teams to them like Milan and Atalanta in away matches was already a strong signal.

However I still don't want to be prejudiced about this kind of matches. Because I see it like only a big team can make them taste their first loss of the season.
14 matches undefeated is an amazing record for Napoli. Udinese seems like another game that will add to their tally. Winning Roma, Atalanta and Milan all in away matches is enough motivation to stay undefeated even after their 15th game against Udinese and i am not seeing Inter playing home as a threat either. If Napoli clears this two front matches i will believe they will lift the trophy unchallenged even before the end of the season. It is fun that Inter game will be an away match for Napoli they will still prove the point they are trying to state undefeated and top standing.

Digital signatures has been able to prove the authenticity to digital documents and it's true ownership. In digital signatures only the real signatory can make a signature but anyone who sees the signature can attest that it is valid. This signature are tied to a specific document which makes it unique in that no one else can take this signatures and attach it to a random document.

The Idea of Bitcoin and digital signature using cryptography has made transactions trusted using three major algorithms (Private keys, Public Keys and a signature). The private and public key pairs uses a cryptographic method to generate keys that takes  a key size to generate this pairs.

The signature takes a message usually a transaction for Bitcoin and the private key as input and then outputs a signature for the transaction using the Private key of the address. This gets verified using the public key, the signature and the message making it hard to forge.

Bitcoin specifically uses Elliptic Curve Digital Signature  (ECDSA) more specifically "secp256k1" estimated to provide 128 bits of security what this means in essence is that it is difficult to break this algorithm by performing 2128 symmetric-key cryptographic operations such as invoking a hash function. This curve is so unique to Bitcoin that after Satoshi chose it in the early specification of how individuals funds get managed it became difficult to change.

ECDSA is a good tool for randomness because it makes guessing the private key from it's corresponding public key difficult and impossible. It can take a message of 256 bits long and this doesn't limit the amount of messages it takes has input because messages get hashed before they get signed which means any size of message can be efficiently signed.

This has made Bitcoin tied to a private key secure and personal as long has it remains on that address and if the private key gets missing along the line the coin remain lost forever.
687  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin Vs Cash which is more secure on: November 08, 2022, 09:04:53 PM
Cash payment is done offline, when spending with paper money no real identity is needed. A buyer can spend their currencies without the bank coming into the picture, no name required because the receiver doesn't need the name of the buyer for transaction to be completed. Bitcoin does hide identity but it is not completely anonymous. Despite Bitcoin not requiring identity to own some coin and spend them the public ledger reveals every transaction on different bitcoin block explorer and as such merge transactions of a particular wallet together and can lead to one's identity been revealed if caution isn't taken.

Where the limitation of cash payment come in is where it involves distant transaction, one that cut across distant boarders and bulky transactions that will seems risky to move with cash. Credit cards over the years substituted for this but we sold out our identity in exchange to execute our transactions using cards that got our full information tied to.

Bitcoin on the other hand doesn't work in an offline manner. But the advantage it has is no central server is required but a peer-to-peer network keep the ledger trusted and immutable which is the only way to provide a data that cannot be tempered on nor nullified since every transaction that goes into every block is confirmed by participating nodes.

Why will Bitcoin remain most preferred over every other traditional payment option including cash is thus:
CREDITCARDCASHBITCOIN
Not anonymousAnonymousPseudonymous
Distance transactionLocal transactionBoarderless transaction
Central SeverNo server neededA p2p server needed
Smart SpendingRisky SpendingSmarter Spending
Funds hardly noticeableBulky Sums obviousNot Noticeable since it has no physical form
Can be CompromisedNo compromiseFully trusted

Cash transaction would have been a perfect option for 100% anonymous transaction but it cannot be sent to some one who is afar off. Bitcoin stands out as the perfect option not as an anonymous tool but as a private coin with no central server.

It will be unprofessional backing off on them that way. First ask those friends and family members how long they are willing to hodl if the have intentions of long term investment then put all in Bitcoin while the wait but first there should be a legal agreement  so no one puts you under duress to how the investment is going. Stick to Bitcoin if the agree on a long term investment.

Since it looks too obvious they will want to hodl you responsible if things goes wrong avoid shitcoins even if they persuade you to try a few shitcoin keep your investment lone and it should be strictly on Bitcoin

What a performance from leverkusen team, they are ahead 5 0 against the ex leaders union berlin and there is still ten minutes until the end i did not expect such a score but it seems something is wrong with union berlin in today game such poor performance its not how they usually perform, when they lose bayern will take the lead and we all know that when that happens it means its over and they will surely win the title.
This is so unbelievable Leverkusen from the Bottom of the table defeating a one time table topper with 5 goals home win. Union Berlin could not get a single goal till the end of the match, this is their worst performance this season Urs Fischer has so much to address in the team this is so unusual for Berlin. Bayern is already at the top of league with 2 point ahead of Berlin

Newcastle has been undefeated in their last 9 matches we saw an exceptional performance against Southampton with a 4 goal away victory they have succeeded in occupying the third position while Tottenham occupy fourth place, Tottenham has to win against Liverpool to reclaim the third position even a draw will keep them below Newcastle based on GD .
691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 05, 2022, 12:08:58 PM
There was interesting statistics between Dortmund vs Bochum that Dortmund was unable to wins from Bochum in the last 3 meetings so although Bochum is weak team who still cannot avoid relegated zone but apparently they could be tough opponent and besides that i noticed 2 wins which Bochum gets so far is from strong teams such as Frankfurt and Union Berlin so Dortmund have to be careful because while against big teams apparently Bochum can playing well and after considering these factors i personally doubt to pick Dortmund win as my bet this because possibly Bochum will playing unpredictable and not impossible the match will ended draw such as their previous meetings results or over 2.5 goals also seems good

But this season Bochum is facing the relegation zone yet the won 4 games out of their  last 6 matches. I don't know what to expect because Bochum is so inconsistent despite having a good head 2 head stat over Dortmund who saw their last win over Bochum in 2014 and it was a narrow victory. A draw can be a fair prediction and games like this are best played as a single bet.
692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: November 05, 2022, 11:40:55 AM
In the Liverpool and Tottenham match we can see that Liverpool has a better chance of winning the match, this is because Liverpool has previously lost to relegation clubs in the past two weeks they would not want to extend their losses again. In the other hand Tottenham has not proven to be able to play big teams this season, they lost to Arsenal they also lost to Manchester United that means they can loss to Liverpool
It is not certain that Liverpool will win against Tottenham and it is not certain that Tottenham will again experience defeat with a big team like Liverpool who have the ambition to repair two defeats including against Nottingham Forest and Leeds United which incidentally is a weak team.

In the Tottenham vs Liverpool match I believe the result will be a draw because Spurs are a bit blunt up front considering that Son and Kulusevski are expected to miss out through injury.
Meanwhile, for the big match between Chelsea vs Arsenal, they have not dared to give an answer to the result of the match, considering that the two teams from London really hope to win.
Tottenham performance this season isn't looking too solid for their current position. They have not been able to prove the can even hold on to the third place for so long. Playing against big team has been challenging for Conte this season. We saw them struggle to draw with Chelsea, lost to Arsenal , Manchester United and Newcastle and even got a narrow win against Brighton. If Liverpool can force an attack the can get an away 3 points

Today I bet on Barcelona's high victory against Almeria. The key to a high win will be a goal scored quickly by the hosts. Almeria is the worst away team in the league. So far, they have got only 1 point in away matches and recorded as many as 5 defeats. They also never got any points at Camp Nou in history. Barcelona has so far had no problems with determination in matches with theoretically weaker rivals and if it will be similar today, I am confident that the hosts will win high.
I'm sure Barcelona will get a big win in the match between Barcelona and Almeria. Because Almeria does not have the quality players that Barcelona have. Besides, Barcelona is far ahead in terms of performance. In this context, I can say that Barcelona will win at least 3-0.

Barcelona should be able to end the game in the early minutes of the first half. Almeria has lost seven matches this season conceding a total of 20 goals in 12 matches. The host team should see an easy home win to get 11 wins in 13 matches and a total of 34 points if the make their win an easy one. But i am expecting two goals in the early minutes of the first half, i am so certain for a win for Barcelona but it should decisive in the first half,

This Is probably a stupid question but I need to ask, is there any risk to scan a barcode at store or anywhere to use crypto wallet to make payment?
It is only risky when the scan is done from untrusted sources because there will be a bridge in privacy and quick access to wallet addresses or private keys. The most frequent attacks from untrusted Barcode sources include:
  • Malware Attacks
  • Phishing Attacks
  • It could cost the compromise of the users location
  • Third Parties Could use the avenue to monitor wallets addresses

  • Install an Antivirus for Additional Security
  • Enable Two-Factor Authentication on Your wallets

I'm sure they will all find it easier to win in this week's match and try to get full points because considering the competition in the Bundesliga still looks a bit fierce with the difference in points being not that far away.

Yes, in general the top 6 Bundesliga standings are only 1 to 2 points adrift, I agree to say that the competition in the Bundesliga is currently quite fierce.
Tomorrow Leipzig will face Hoffenheim at theliRhein-Neckar Arena
The result of the match could change their position in the Bundesga standings, considering that currently they are only 1 point adrift of positions 6 and 7.
And Hoffenheim will be playing home with Hoffenheim and Leipzig having one point apart. This will be one difficult game to predict but i think Hoffenheim should be able to pick up three points at theliRhein-Neckar Arena and if they do the will shift Leipzig to 7th position while they occupy 6th. This season has more prospects and entertainment the suspense is real this time.
696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: November 04, 2022, 03:11:09 PM
I think a draw could be achieved by Chelsea but Arsenal should not be underestimate by no means. I personally want to see Arsenal taking those 3 vital points and sustain that 1st place of EPL before the World Cup begins in 2 weeks.   Shocked

Spurs vs Liverpool should also be a great game with first chance going to Spurs in my opinion but also if Liverpool is in great day , they will beat Spurs with 2 goals ahead of them as they are hungry for points and Klopp and the boys won't be satisfied with a draw on Sunday.
There is every possibility for a draw between Chelsea and Arsenal. But Arteta seems to be a bit frightened at Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang presence ahead of the clash in his statement he described Auba as   very dangerous. But i think Arteta has a strategy good enough to win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

Liverpool should be able to take all three points from their away visit to spur's stadium. Tottenham had a more strenuous week than Liverpool so we should see Liverpool recovering from the 9th position but everything will be determined by either Klopps or Conte's strategy which is more aggressive enough to take the lead.
697  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How much gambling is in trading cryptocurrencies? on: November 04, 2022, 02:43:44 PM
This is where I come to the conclusion that for most of people who trade, trading is just a gamble. Sometimes they win, and this is where legends are born most of the times. Sometimes they lose, what happens more often. In general we are lured by huge and rapid wealth and such desires are addictive, especially if you succeeded a couple of times. Only few are determined enough to reach a level of proficiency before losing it all - money, hope and a touch of reality.

It sounds depressive as I read it but this is how I see this.

Every trader has this iota of gambling in them although it's level varies amongst different trader. Some have this gambling in higher proportion while the rest have it in lesser proportion. It is how much a trader deals with this gambling habit when trading that determines how far the can progress with what ever analysis they use. As for losses it is part of the business but consistent loss is what looks abnormal even expert traders share from the well of losses. What makes one a profitable trader is their ability to balance their loss with more winning trades

Now my advice to everyone reading this, Do not allowed your self to be massively influences by those influencers you followed on social media, one needs to be extremely careful on how you get involved in those touting project, Influencers don't care about you as long as they get paid for paid promotion, That's why you see a lot of project Scammer's exploring influencers weakness, by capturing the heart of it's followers and ends up on the losing side.
The annoying part is that this influencers know nothing about the project the promote and because the get paid the give in their best to see the promote some bunch of scam work either knowingly or ignorantly. So far i have restricted social media to entertainment and societal, economic, geographical and religious news. When it involves investment i read from the project's official websites and draw my conclusion from there so i don't let any influencer decide what happens to my funds.

Quote
Always do your own personal research, Be sure you're satisfied with the information gotten so far by you. not what an influencers said, take it up as a task, to do your own research and come up with your own personal results and strategies to determine if it's a good push to get involved in by yourself, to be sure you're up for what you're doing. This is just my piece of advice to you, Please feel free to contribute, Newbies planning to go into investment please, try as much as possible to avoid be influence and manipulated into investment on a project.
It will be a blind move to listen to this social media influencers in the first place except for crypto experts who devote their time to studying projects and understanding their mission statement and even at that every investor are expected to do their research after having a session with those experts to make some confirmations or decline the project

Welcome mate!!!
It will be a long journey learning everything about Bitcoin. And also it will take longer to understand its functionality and various improvements. To limit the process you need to own some Bitcoin because it is more difficult knowing what is not acquired after which send it across different wallets, try pick out the difference in transaction fees across this various wallets and how long it takes a block to be mined. While you move those tiny pinch of bitcoin across different wallets also monitor the difference in transaction fees, What kind of wallets allow you setup seed phrases and the wallet that requires KYC for its setup.

So my question is; does those who started trading on binary faces this same issues?
And if yes how much have you lost so far?
How long do you think to learn to be perfect in trading generally both binary options and spot trading or any other trading?

Please share as I almost fall victim of joining him but he lost made me to lost interest.
For perfection in trading it will cost the trader more study and less trading. It will also require patience and determination and lastly it will take building strategy and improving on them. But all this doesn't apply to binary option. Most binary traders apply the same technical analysis spot and future use but 70% of the times those analysis don't work because of  the short expiration range, giving it lesser time for the analysis to fit in to the binary option trading
