681  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies Stop Teaching When You Need To Learn. on: October 20, 2023, 10:26:07 AM

Do you know that some newbies are really not newbies? They know better than some high ranked members and is really hard to tell who's really a newbie because these days I believe members are on disguise just to play a game of hide and seek, like not letting out their identity.
So in this case the suppose "newbies" have the knowledge of either trading and other stuff you think they're suppose to learn, and learning is for everyone no matter your rank, a newbie can educate you on what you feel you know much better.
There are newbies that new to cryptocurrency entirely and this forum might be their first place to have access to learning something legit about bitcoin and crypto, if such newbies ask question, it is always good to help and support them because that is the sole purpose of this forum. On the other hand, there are newbies to this forum but have some experience and knowledge about bitcoin and crypto trading, they are just here to build account and interact with other crypto experts on somethings related bitcoin.

Creating new thread by some newbies to be teaching or given guide on somethings they are suppose to be learning in the forum is mostly for the sake of merits to rank up because some of them think that we must create thread that help the forum members in order to get merits and rank up.

Real Madrid is not a small team Arsenal will not be afraid of because, they have heard what Real Madrid is doing in the la Liga league and other tournament which they can still do those things to flog Arsenal with many goals to cause fear to other teams in that group. Real Madrid must break the record  in this game to beat Arsenal to make people believe that things has changed in this season because their management has signed in so much talented players that will make the game favour Real Madrid. If wolves can beat Manchester city in the premier league to surprised people, I believe something like that will surely happen in this game that will make Real Madrid to achieve what they have never achieve before in the champion league.
Real Madrid team is not in a state to flog Arsenal now as you are thinking because they only have vast Champions League experience more than Arsenal because they are the team with highest Champions League trophy in the world and Arsenal did not have even one, but that should not be used to judge Arsenal case now because Arsenal team is more reliable than Real Madrid team that was struggling to win matches in Laliga just because some players were injured.

I will love it too so Real Madrid can get Arsenal all embarrassed.  Arsenal  is not that club that wants to face Madrid. Real Madrid  will face Sevilla soon in days coming and Arsenal will face Sevilla in the Champions League let's all measure  the strength used against Sevilla and how Sevilla play against each of this sides.
Arsenal  have come a long way this season but it doesn't look good comparing Champions of Champions in Europe to a club that had its best season and still won nothing put some respect to Real Madrid. They are not to be compared with Arsenal.
What should be Arsenal fear to face Real Madrid?

Sevilla match should not be what will determine the difference because both Arsenal and Real Madrid will win Sevilla, therefore, that should not be the measure for Arsenal ability to beat Real Madrid.

Arsenal has been one of the hard team for Real Madrid to defeat because their match records tells a lot about how Arsenal were good when it comes to playing match against Real Madrid, they defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League in 2005/2006 Champions League Semi finals and they also have some winning record against Real Madrid in the Emirate cup. And the form Arsenal is now, I don't think Real Madrid can find it easy to beat Arsenal.

Here is the odds



The chance owned by liverpool to win the game is very big. Liverpool has 70% probability to win the game compared with everton. The chance for this match to be draw is pretty small atm.
There are no great defenders in everton who can stop nunez, salah and diaz. These trio were playing so well since early season. The lost against totenham was only luck caused by VAR was doing mistake.

The performance against brighton needs to be evaluated and im thinking if jurgen aware about that. We may see nunez to play as a striker again. I would like to see liverpool to go fully attack against everton. The next game gonna be happening in anfield.

It gives liverpool more advantage to win the game compared with everton.  

Over 2.5 , liverpool win are good choices.
Liverpool is a big team and they are in form this season compared to last season.
They know how to defeat Everton if you check their match records, Everton just played one draw and lose one match against Liverpool, while Liverpool won more than four times against Everton both home and away; Although their respective League performance in their five matches looks similar but that did not stop Liverpool from winning the match because they need to get back to the title race with Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester City.

From the past Neymar is a player who is prone to injury even while at PSG had a long injury, expensive players with deficiencies like this will clearly harm the club that signed him, especially Al Hilal now.

Rumor: Neymar's injury can be up to 9 months to rest while what Al Hilal invested so much in him, yes this is an injury when playing with Brazil which does not mean when playing for the Al Hilal club this is of course a big loss for his fans.

I'm not sure when he comes back he'll be back to his normal form, he's old, his fitness is weak and he's bound to get injured again.
It is a usual thing for Neymar since his time in Barcelona, he is an injury prone player and that is the reason why his football skills did not win him so many things the way other talented and experience players do win; he is also a player that like skills even in a serious situation where skills in not necessary and that one is the reason why he get kicked most times and it leads to injury.

Al Hilal signed him just to provide competition for teams like Al Nassr that signed Ronaldo and Al Ittihad that signed Benzema, they did not care about Neymar's injury record and now it has happened because he might be out for so long probably out of the season.
687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 18, 2023, 08:52:02 PM

El Clasico matches are always difficult to predict, but every team playing at home probably has an advantage that can be exploited. Barcelona is playing at home, so they should be able to use their home advantage to win El Clasico. But there is no guarantee about who will win it, that's because the competition between the two teams is fierce.
In the last five El Clasico matches, the home team is not always the winning team because in their last encounter, Barcelona won four and three of these wins were at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Real Madrid won one, which was the Copa del Ray, at Camp Nou. This shows that the match is always unpredictable because your home may not favour you unless you played very well.


Quote
Several of Barcelona's main players have not been convinced to appear in El Clasico, including Lewandowski, De Jong, Raphinha and Pedri. Real Madrid has superior squad depth if the 4 Barcelona players are declared absent, but Barcelona is a team that is also difficult to predict because their mentality is getting better.
Even all Barcelona's full squad were presence in the match, I trust Real Madrid team this season due to their form, and Madrid will be willing start taking revenged for losing consecutively against Barcelona.
688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 18, 2023, 08:28:42 PM
We will start the new week with the Liverpool-Everton match. I expect Liverpool to make no mistakes in this match. It seems normal to expect them to defeat the opponent with scores like 2-0, 3-1.
Liverpool at Anfield is a team that looks almost impossible to defeat; in addition, they are now in form and are willing to compete for the Premier League title; therefore, I expect them to beat Everton by two or more goals because they are trying to recover after the draw they played against Brighton in their last Premier League match before the break.


Quote
Manchester City will host Brighton at home. City staggered a bit in the race with 2 consecutive defeats in the league but they will recover. They have a tough opponent in front of them and if they can overcome this obstacle, they will enter an important recovery phase for themselves.
This match is a must-win for Manchester City because they have gone two Premier League games without winning, which results in them dropping to the third spot in the Premier League table, two points behind Arsenal and Tottenham, so winning this match will be of help for them to recover because they have high-intensity matches ahead of them.


Quote
Another important match of the day will be the Chelsea-Arsenal clash. Chelsea have been winning for the last 2 weeks and they seem to be slowly coming back to themselves. Arsenal will not want to be defeated in this tough away game. I think Arsenal will not lose.
The match will not be easy to predict because both teams need to score three points to maintain their standing.
Chelsea will want to prove to the world that they have fully recovered, while Arsenal will want to keep their consistency and focus on winning all their matches in order to have an advantage in winning the title this season.
689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 18, 2023, 06:26:01 PM
Onana is having hard time at United but that doesn't make him a bad goalkeeper, plus after having a few bad games, players tend to get worse because of lack of morale and he may have lost his focus. When you try to go "this game I am going to be better and not screw up" the chances of you screwing up increases, because you are too focused on not making a mistake and that makes you make a mistake even more.

Onana is trying his best, but he is having a bad time at Manchester United because of high expectations from the fans of Manchester United. Apart from that, most Manchester United fans are not happy with the departure of Da Gea. That is why all eyes are on Onanan’s performance so that they can have evidence to prove Ten Hag wrong with his decision to let De Gea go even after he had a great season last year.


Quote
Stress on these players are at all time high and they did fine last year, finished third and he is one of the new guys, he will be thinking all these fans are saying they were third with de gea and they are terrible with Onana, so that makes him worried too. All these combined makes him even worse, but normally he was fine last year.
The fans are right because they want the best for the team that is why they want the manager to be making the right decisions and not to be using his emotions to chase players out of the team.
690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 18, 2023, 06:15:56 PM

A club like Dortmund must change its policy regarding player transfers if it wants to challenge defending champions Bayern Munchen. Because expecting Munchen to have a bad season is not a good idea and we know it is difficult to happen, they have a large budget to strengthen the depth of the squad in each transfer window. I am really looking forward to Xabi Alonso being able to provide a surprise this season to break Munchen dominance, when seeing that their meeting at the Allianz Arena was a draw, it seems that this is very likely to happen this season.
I have stopped believing in Dortmund since some years ago, when they sold Aubameyang, Jordan Sancho, and finally Serling Haaland and Jude Bellingham. Since then, I know that they are not serious Bundesliga title contenders, and that was Bayern winning the league last season even though Dortmund fought hard to the last match. Had it been they had players like Haaland in the team, they couldn’t have lost their chance of winning the Bundesliga title last season because Bayern was not in form.


Quote
However, apart from Laverkusen increasing performance, other Bundesliga clubs are also worthy enough not to be underestimated. Even though we know that in the end they will also lose points if they meet Bayern Munchen.
Since Dortmund are not willing to strengthen their team to compete fiercely for the title, I am glad that Bayern Leverkusen are here this season to provide a challenging opponent for Bayern. I am confident that Alonso will make every effort to ensure that this occurs because he is at the peak of his ability to become one of the best coaches this season.
691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers on: October 17, 2023, 09:03:26 PM
Currently everything is going very well for Italy. They are leading 1:0 against England and everyone knows how good England is at the moment, so Im surprised. The lineup of England it so sensationally good, in the offense are players like Bellingham, Rashford, Foden and Kane. There will be powerplay in the game now. And Malta leads 1-0 against Ukraine, thats their second goal in 7 games. Thats even more incredible for me and Im sure it wont stay that way.

And yeah England comeback 3-1 even though Italy continued to try to attack they could not change the score, I wasn't surprised to see England win because they played with a golden squad the coach plays all the mainstay players. The same thing happened in Ukraine, they managed to comeback 3-1 for Ukraine with an additional 3 points, Ukraine will take 2nd place in the group while Italy had to drop to 3rd position. By the way my parlay was stopped by Slovenia because I predict at least both teams will score 2 goals but I was wrong.
In this match, England's lineup included more players of the highest calibre than Italy's. I anticipate England to win the match, but Italy's performance in the match was impressive. The majority of the players on the England team are experienced players who have played or are currently playing for the majority of the top European teams, while the majority of the players on the Italy team are young players.

Was Ten Hag's decision to dump De Gea and buy Onana the best decision? I don't think so. He has conceded 19 times in 11 matches. Pretty bad stats with fantastic transfer prices. Even Onana also did not only make one mistake resulting in a goal. I don't blame him all, because their defence is not very good either. But it seems that Ten Hag's football philosophy is not entirely running smoothly. Many supporters hope De Gea can return to Man United.
Ten Hag left De Gea leave the team because of some issues they had not because he is not good for the tea, which is a very wrong decision because De Gea is one of the best players in Manchester United last season because of his good saves that helped them qualify for the Champions League, and using Onana as his replacement is not a bad idea either because Onana was a good keeper at Ajax and Inter Milan as well, so I think if he is given some chances, he can improve his performance, but the errors he was making consistently that resulted in goals were the main reason Manchester United fans dislike him. But I think if he is given time, he can prove himself as a good replacement for De Gea.
693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: October 17, 2023, 08:25:40 PM
The group stage is going to go on very comfortably for Real Madrid. We must have all understood it from their winning against Napoli away recently. That was technically the toughest match of the group. But even Napoli couldn't stop them in Naples. I can already be confident that Real Madrid will finish as group leader.

Napoli lose to Real Madrid at Clement Turpin Stadium after winning Sporting Braga away from home in the group stage's first match, and they are the strong opponents that can stop Real Madrid from topping the group because Union Berlin and Sporting Braga did not come close to challenging Real Madrid because of their Champion's League experience.
As it stands, Real Madrid will top the group if they keep consistency, because I know that they can beat Napoli at Santiago, and winning the remaining two home and away is not a problem for them.


Quote
The important point is what they will do against the biggest title contenders. Especially against Manchester City and Bayern Munich I mean. If they manage to show a strong team performance with the help of their main scorer Bellingham too then I wouldn't be surprised to see Real Madrid adding another CL title to their collection.  Smiley
Hmm, this is just your imagination, and you centered it only on the teams you think can win the title, not considering teams like Arsenal that are in form and have the ability to defeat any team this season because of the talented young players in their squad. Nevertheless, it's your prediction, but remember that there are teams like Barcelona, Inter Milan, and others that are also capable of winning this league.
694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: October 17, 2023, 09:05:36 AM


Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are currently not in the same station at all however both players play on teams other than top European teams. Ronaldo and his teammates should be ready for the next game they are going to have in the Saudi League against Damac and this team can't be a hard opponent for a team like Al Nassr which means Ronaldo can have a good chance to shine in this game.
However, the rates are very low for Al Nassr in the match.



Cristiano Ronaldo's coming to the Saudi Pro League has brought another achievement to his football career and has also created an avenue for old players in the European teams to have extra fame after their football careers in Europe. That is what Messi also wanted to do, which is why he moved to Inter Miami; nevertheless, both of them have a good impact in football and are representing their respective teams well.
 
Al Nassr match against Damac is a must-win match because since the arrival of Ronaldo in the Al Nassr team, they have been winning Damac club, and now that Al Nassr had an unimpressive draw against Abha in their last natch, I am very sure they will win this match.

Thank you for summarizing these apps and platforms or sites that make our work easier, because almost all of them are to support our writeups to make sure they look presentable and also to make learning and understanding easy for us.

I don't know if the 18th one is advisable "Password manager" Is it advisable to trust a third party with our passwords especially the passwords to our important things like email, and exchanges or wallets?
I think creating a unique password for ourselves will be better than given any third-party to manage our passwords to prevent hacks.
696  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How many of our leader knows the functionality of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency? on: October 16, 2023, 09:52:50 PM
I came across a video online where a content creator interviewed some guys on the street about their knowledge of bitcoin/cryptocurrency and I was shocked by their rate of ignorance.

I analyzed the age range of those who said they have no idea of Bitcoin and found out that they are mostly in their early 40s and above. 

This got me pondering on so many things and then I got to realize why a lot hasn't changed in our country even after we have a succession of leaders regularly

Because of the difference in what is prevalent at every phase of life, you can't expect a leader who, during his youthful age saw youths concentrating much on farming and military activity to come up with ideas that are centered on building strong tech guru or even legalize any bitcoin related stuff that he knows little to nothing about.
Let me also follow people that talked about the age range; in this country now, people of that age range, if they are not into tech before or have good things to do already, will not think about Bitcoin because they are focused on what will bring food to their table. I know that there are so many people of that age that adopt bitcoin even when they have not been into any tech in the past, but your main case study is on the street, where content creators meet people randomly to ask questions. These people might be people who are hustling for their daily bread, and because of that, they might have less interest in bitcoin, especially as it is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

If you observe well, you will notice that most lecturers, deans, and HODs of most Nigeria universities are old folks who don't even know much about the changes in the tech sectors and can't effect reasonable managerial decisions that will help the schooling curriculum meet up with the demands and realities of the moment.

It's a sad situation but I think it brings us back to the fact that we need more youth involved in our politics and well-represented in the House of Assembly and Senate if we are ready to make reasonable growth in another sector of our country.

What you said is the reality that is happening in most Nigerian universities. The government is not willing to change these tools and lab equipment's, and the old lecturers or professors will not give way to newly graduated students who have little knowledge of technology in them to change the whole system. But who to blame if not our educational system and the government in general for not being willing to spend on technology but spending huge sums of money on unnecessary things, not knowing that if we have good technology, our country will be better?

Due to their inability to comprehend and correctly write a post on their own, some of them were banned. They believe that if they copy something off the internet and publish it, no one will be able to trace it. However, they are unaware that copying and pasting is one of the most serious infractions in forums, and that new postings are constantly being checked for plagiarism.

Sometimes newcomers will be willing to post a worthwhile article that will garner some attention. They copy some high-quality articles from the internet while researching what to post in an attempt to gain credibility in the forum, and as a result, they are banned.

Finally, I know say our sr men dem here de always warn and advice them to avoid plagiarism for long, but things never change completely, I go still advice our newbies to avoid copy and paste because generally e no good and the forum self de against am.
698  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Smart not Hardwork on: October 15, 2023, 09:39:26 PM

Many believes hardwork drives one into light but it can be contradicting as hell cos in this present era it becomes more of being smart than hardwork.
Doing more of hard work than working smart will get you to a certain level of achievement where applying more knowledge and critical skills would amount to greater achievements
Working hard is beneficial and pays well. Success is always found where hard work is required because success requires hard work.
Working smart will also increase success when combined with hard work, but if you are smart but don't want to work hard, your intelligence will be useless because you need to work hard to succeed.

In doing Bitcoin we should be smart enough to study the market and manage speculations
There are few factors that makes a person smart, considering:

  • Inquisitiveness : Having this mindset of wanting and willing to learn is one attribute to being smart, a smart person never sees things as common, always curious to learn. They say "Learning never ends", and  "No acquired Knowledge is a waste"
  • Sensitive to better ideas : There is, well a need to be sensitive. When in the midst of good speakers, paying good attention to the speaker so as to grab good ideas that can be relatably used, can be on a face to face level or through the media
  • Asking questions : After listening to good speakers, there must be something shady and not completely comprehended but the curiosity to ask question for a clear picture is also attributed to being smart, as they say "A problem known, is a problem solved"
Even if you are smart, the cryptocurrency market is unpredictable and impossible to predict. Even while I am aware that if you are smart, you can profit from the market if you take the time to study the charts—that is, if you are into bitcoin trading—keep in mind that no matter how intelligent you are, you will never be able to completely outwit the movement of the bitcoin market since it is unpredictable.
699  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Distinguishing Between Bitcoin Halving And Crypto Burn on: October 15, 2023, 09:28:43 AM
I think there is difference in the two even as they both have similarities.

Halving as you stated is to reduce the miners reward in order to keep limiting the supply of new coin in circulation, but it will  it reduce the numbers in circulation before halving.

While crypto Burning is done to reduce the number of coins already in circulation in order to create more value to the coin.

Mostly, Burning is happening to altcoin probably if the developers think they have too much coin in supply and the coin did not have the value the expected which purely Centralization; while halving is mostly on Bitcoin and maybe Litcoin (I don't know if there is any coin), it is design and anyone know when it will happen and how it is been done that's Decentralization.

I am open to learn more from the response of others because I have been thinking about this also for long.
700  Economy / Economics / Re: Cracking the Code of Saving Money... on: October 15, 2023, 09:11:51 AM
It is not always easy to save money, especially when you are around things that tempt you to spend. Sometimes, our environment contributes to our level of saving and spending, so if we feel that our environment is not conducive to saving, then we can change the environment.

Furthermore, inflation contributes to our limit savings since we can only save a percentage of our earnings after removing our money for daily expenses and needs, but due to inflation, the cost of leaving is now high and mostly our earnings are still the same. If that is possible, then we cannot save because the money might not even be enough to take care of our basic needs.

But saving in Bitcoin has now become easier since if you want to save in Bitcoin with some percentage of your salary or earnings, you can use the DCA method to keep saving.
