OP you done talk well, the mind nah the root of good idea wey de lead to success, but make we no forget about the other things we suppose they inlvolve wey go help implement the idea or innovations wey d mind done stimulate. "The bible says the mind and soul is willing but the flesh is weak ".

In my own point of view weting they men by the flesh is weak nah say the flesh lacks discipline, determination and dedication. Me ah they call am the three Ds. A lot of ideas and good visions have been discarded or failed to be implemented because of lack of this D's. Ah no say e no they easy but if we wan achieve weting this people wey OP use as example achieve we need to maintain focus and stay on track because normally temptation go come from different angle nah that three D's go fit help us overcome. This nah my own solid contribution.

I also feel that since Satoshi Nakamoto which I assume isn't one person has recorded huge success since the introduction of this digital electronic currency called bitcoin, why can't satoshi himself or theirself  as the case may be reveal his or their identity I mean it will be very good for people to know who satoshi is so that they can offer help to him or them on more ideas to improve the authenticity of bitcoin or rather sort help on how to ascertain an incredible success in acquiring bitcoins.
The solidity of bitcoin and the secrets for bitcoin to wax greatly was the reason for his disappearance come to think of this the government are after Satoshi Nakamoto to have full control of bitcoin, let say if the government have him and forced him to reveal the principle and hand over everything to them bitcoin mission could have failed by now and you know what? What ever that involves government has a central authority meaning government are to decides about the prices and total supply maybe there wouldn't had been any halving by now who knows. So just keep it at the back of your mind that the reason for bitcoin to have this popularity was as a reason for him to remains anonymous otherwise government could have forces him to destroy the mission and vision of bitcoin, and remember bitcoin was create as an alternative means of payments and to ease payment where there seems to be no network issues bitcoin will be used as easy gateway for online payment.
I pray Satoshi continues to remain anonymous. Because if this government officials get a trace of him or his offspring they will find all possible means to control the system he has built all these years. It takes a lot of discipline to maintain anonymous, this is because humans like the feeling of ownership and fame. If some persons were giving the opportunity to be the owner of Bitcoin they would make sure all the world knows and brag about their achievements, just the way Elon musk does.

I won't be surprised that some well known technological CEO have some hidden deal with the government's which they use as a strategy to control how the technology is been used in the country. For instance Facebook can save your personal data and sell it to other companies and this is only authorized by the Nigerian government. Any day the government decides to stop access to users data then Facebook will lose a lot of users. But they cannot stop it because they are benefiting from

🗣️| Leandro Trossard on what position he feels most comfortable playing in:

“That’s a tough question. I don’t really mind playing all of those positions up top, to be fair. If it’s left winger, as a false nine, even as an attacking midfielder, I don’t really have a straight answer for that.

“[As a kid I played] as a number ten, like a proper attacking midfielder back in the old days, or as a striker as well.

“I always try to be in the box and in good positions to score goals and with the quality that we have, I know I have to be there, especially if I play on the left wing, I need to be there when, for example, Bukayo Saka is on the ball on the right side, so yeah I follow my instinct there, to be honest, to get in the right positions to score goals.

Will Trossard be Arsenal's top 9 in the future.

My own be say whether you work smart or you work hard, without dedication and discipline you can never attain success in whatever you are doing. Hard work pays and working smartly also pays. In our society today due to corruption, hardworking people are no longer encouraged. Corruption is taking over society in the name of working smart. Most youths are no longer willing to learn hand work all in the name of them working smart. And when dey see people wey dey work hard them go dey discourage them say this country no really need people wey dey work hard. My own be say stick to what's working for you as we all get different grace. Where e work for you no fit be the same place e go work for another person.

Hard workers nah the people wey dey dey employ as labourers. Nah them they under the last chain for any industry. No one wey no they pay, whether hardwork and smart work but the different be say the hard workers nah the one wey they receive less and nah them dey work for the  smart workers.

These days if you wan really they successful for life nah to find how u go use get people wey go work for you. Time is money so if you have something like a business or industry that you can employ people to work for you e go they better o. This nah because if 24 hrs work go fit give you 10k a day then imagine you get 56 hrs nah 30k. And e go only they possible if you employ two extra persons. E just they simple more hands involved more profit.

Being educated means understanding and making use of the information we encounter daily, applying what we learn to our own lives. I am not surprised that people jump into conclusions that has no validation.

Learning is everywhere. Everything we do, observe, and hear teaches us something, one way or another. So it's left for us to say what will think is right.

707  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a peer to peer method less popular than as an investment on: November 15, 2023, 01:13:07 PM
If you think about it, it makes sense.

Bitcoin makes you think with a long term mentality, you should save more than what you are spending. That's a big change from the "spend now, pay later" mentality of fiat.

This means that sending peer-to-peer Bitcoin (spending) should be less popular than investment (saving).



Bitcoin doesn't make you think long term. It's your mindset and choice that makes you want to leave your Bitcoin for the long term. Just the way you feel like HODL there are persons that prefer day to day trading because they feel that is the fastest way to get profit.

Both peer-peer Bitcoin and investment should both be giving equal attention. Different features but one system. It is Bitcoin that should be giving more popularity and not the feature itself.
708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 15, 2023, 12:56:09 PM
Aston Villa has better goal productivity than Tottenham. But I see Tottenham still have a good chance of beating Aston Villa. This is an interesting match because the two teams are only 1 point apart. Tottenham will win that match and Aston Villa will remain in 5th place in the standings. Even though Aston Villa has more wins but it cannot be said that Aston Villa has better chances.

I still don't think Tottenham will beat Aston Villa; the team has been playing better this season, and some of Tottenham's players won't be able to play due to injuries, so I can't say that the game will be easy to win. Aston Villa's performance is stronger right now; Tottenham is only one point ahead of them, but they have more goals than Tottenham. If Tottenham puts in more effort against Aston Villa, they might be able to win at home, which would keep Aston Villa in 5th place. However, I can't predict the game right now because both teams have a good chance to win.

Winning the game is the best thing for Tottenham Spurs. After losing to Chelsea, I noticed that they also lost to Wolves, who are currently in 12th place in the league, they equalized and scoring two goals in extra time. For this reason, that is why i said Tottenham winning against Aston Villa won't be easy, but maybe Spurs will have the advantage of playing at home and earning three points. Yet, Richarlison's injury is likely to be for a long time; I just hope Maddison returns soon, so Spurs should perform better than this, Son Heung is finding it difficult to score.
Yes, I believe Tottenham we win Aston Villa. It was 10 and Tottenham has been unbeaten together with Arsenal, with eight wins and two draws. It is good for them because they have not dropped lower to 5th. Currently Aston Villa. Even though Aston Villa has been impressive this season I don't see any chance to win they have to win Tottenham. Am still certain that regardless of the circumstances over shadowing Tottenham with two red cards and some players injured, the coach has strategies a new pattern that will help the team to continue to win the game.

That's true, how can someone think of making an investment all of a sudden without having any experience in it, trading could be a way of having a profitable investment but we cannot just embark on it like that without having any practical or technical how to do, this is the first thing that is expected of every newbies to allow time proof itself on them by learning to get ready before starting anything.

But I started directly from a friend and made a deposit on the exchange around 40$. Not suicide, but I was prepared for the loss of those funds. Even in the past I didn't know demo account, I just learned directly to buy and sell then self-taught about the problem of Analysis. So I directly practice in exchange using small funds.
After understanding then you will feel comfortable trading.
I understand the meaning of trading is trading and in it there is a way of holding. If you mean trading is short-term trading and hold is long-term then you should do both. Because I did that.
Your friend have knowledge on Bitcoin investment or trading that is why you were comfortable enough to entrust your 40$. You can't tell me you would deposit your money in an exchange just to play with it there or gamble it. However, it is your decision which is suside, but as you said the money you used was something you could just forget, which means you were willing to profit or loss and you don't really care about the outcome then.

By now I believe your perception is different. You know what is right to do and how to approach investment. Because I know if you have a friend or brother you want to introduce to Bitcoin you won't advised him/her to start the same way you started, you now have a better option for them.
710  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I need your contribution and opinion on: November 15, 2023, 11:08:30 AM
I have a little knowledge but I need a guide. Bought some cryptocurrency like XRP and Bitcoin. Currently people only talk about Bitcoin but the price is very high for me to afford investing in it. I don't know why I feel like it's the only cryptocurrency worth investing and I would love to try  but am still learning gradually about it.
The only thing to be worry about when buying now is price going below the buying price, for example if you buy at 35,000.. if portfolio is to be in the green then it doesn't need to go below the buying price otherwise asset value goes in the red
IMO there is no point OP should be worried about the buying price going below. This is because that is in the nature of Bitcoin that you bought at 35k today doesn't mean it will continue going high from there without doing any low movement. It may go down to 27k or 25k. What Op should be concerned is about the long term price of Bitcoin. This will encourage him to hold his Bitcoin for long. One thing that is certain is certain that Bitcoin price will be higher that what it is today in the next one or two decades

It's been a while since I've seen quality threads like this. At every point in one's career pursuit, there shouldn't be any point of not being productive because it will limit how fast you would have grown and excelled in that career path.

The starting point always seems difficult, like you cannot make it or grow. There is always a time when you feel like you're stuck and could not continue, but patience and consistency are just what a person needs. If I could remember how I started my web development skill, all the lines of code seemed like counting sands, but with time I became more acquainted with it.

The truth is the more passionate you are about something, the more you will grow and get better at it.
712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: November 14, 2023, 11:31:36 PM
Group F is still open to every kind of surprise. Even the last placed team can finish as leader. I mean Newcastle by saying that. Because Milan were also doing really bad by not scoring a single goal but this PSG win made them start to believe in for last 16 stage. PSG are still not trustworthy at all.

Because the inconsistencies in their performance continues. They are quite dependent on Mbappe's score contribution I'm afraid. I don't see them playing good very often when Mbappe doesn't perform strikingly well. I don't know if PSG can make it to next stage by playing like this.  Sad

As long as newcastle know how to prevent mbappe and i think PSG may also lose a chance to be qualified for thelast 16. Anyone is in curiosity to know which club that will be qualified for the last 16. Any clubs in the group have the same chance to be qualified but this totally depends on the how bad or good their performance are. Newcastle and acmilan became the teams with lowest chances to be qualified for the last 16. I think that if anyone is also trying to bet on these matches with a lot of doubtness. It's caused by any clubs in this group were equal. It's pretty hard to know which team that may go to the last 16. Any surprises can come from newcastle and acmilan.
I would rather than pick save bet like double chance in these matches. The result is very hard to predict at this moment as any clubs have same chances.

Exactly. It is such a group that even the last team can defeat the strongest team of the group on paper which are PSG. We have seen that before by a win like 4-1 as well. PSG are just really bad when it comes to away matches in the Champions League. They lost to Milan recently as well you know.

This weakness of them could even bring their end in the Champions League really early. I would like to see PSG being more competitive however for now Luis Enrique can't make this happen. When they start playing in coherence as a team then they would be more trustworthy.
PSG and Manchester United has a lot of things in common. They are struggling so much,even they can't beat the lowest team in their group table. It's funny that a very strong team like PSG will be leaving in this first round. And same thing goes for Manchester United

Currently they are in second position but after the next match they will go below that. Yesterday I was talking with a friend about PSG losing form and he concluded that what has affected the team so much is because they sold a lot of players last season and now the players they have lacks experience and are too young to withstand the pressure in the UCL. Definitely PSG is not ready yet, let's hope that next season they will improve on their performance and quality of play

715  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Importance of learning a skill before gaining admission into the universIty on: November 14, 2023, 09:56:18 PM
For north here wey we de, people de value hand work pass school because some people get d mentality of saying that after school no work, some of us no de even go school at all and they end up hustling and hawking. Education here is by chance and opportunity, if you get sponsor you will go school and if you no get you will stay at home and learn hand work. As you say it is good to learn hand work get skill before going to school or after university so that it can help us get money for food before we get government work.
First don't generalize your belief to everyone in the north. Unless you want to say you guys over there don't understand the difference between skill and education. You go to school to get a professional knowledge on a particular field, there is no where it is written that it is a criteria for success or an opportunity to get a job. It all depends on you to make it a career and go forward in it. However, why on the process you seem to encounter some challenges that teaches you to stand alone as an individual and make decisions on your own. This shows that school is not only about your discipline but a full education that consist of physical knowledge, academical knowledge, moral knowledge and spiritual knowledge.

If you did not have any preliminary studies will you be able to read and write fluently? Higher education is important as also learning a skill. Op is right on the track. This is because you will be of a higher advantage if you have a skill before going into the university. Depending on your skill type friends, course mate or neighbors will patronise you and it will help you earn money the right way instead of doing a lot of crazy things student do these days to make money.
716  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a peer to peer method less popular than as an investment on: November 14, 2023, 07:27:21 PM
Thanks God I was introduced to Bitcoin as a payment method when Ponzi schemes and so-called revenue-sharing sites were popular. I used Bitcoin as a payment method. Just for info, during that time I wasn't aware how Ponzi schemes scammed us. Day by day, I learn and leave Ponzi without losing too much. But I learned a lot about Bitcoin. No doubt, a lot of people don't know how Bitcoin works. Most of them just consider Bitcoin as an investment opportunity. It's because of the volatility of Bitcoin that we can make profits. This isn't bad, actually, but we need to learn about Bitcoin as well, besides considering it as an investment opportunity.
Good thing you were focused on what you believed about Bitcoin and not moved by the so-called Ponzi scheme at that period. I know what the press and so-called cryptocurrency influencers are capable of that hear. When it was newly introduced a lot of them use it for to get famous online when they do not even know much about it use cases. Many persons fell for their preaching but only few like you were not convinced by what they preach. So sad i came into Bitcoin lately and what has derived me into it deeply is because of its undermining technology. Something you can see, move around, control without feeling or touching it. It was like a magic to me and i was eager to go to the root.

Yes, we may go into something because of a particular thing we see at first instance but when we go deeper into it we become more interested in other things. That is how Bitcoin works. Currently i am more interested in accumulating a good amount of Bitcoin gradually. I have given myself a target and is working towards it. There are more to Bitcoin and with time we will unveil them and see the one we can adapt.

This would be something great if implemented properly. My only fear is that when government officials tend to involve themselves with anything Bitcoin or cryptocurrency there is always a catch an inside reason which is hidden to the public. Obviously, they would make their intentions clear and speak of the advantages to the public which will be well convincing but i have this feeling that there is always a political ambition attached to it. Once a door is closed there will always be another one which they can use to manipulate the system.

718  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bull season started? on: November 14, 2023, 06:59:11 PM
The recent surge in BTC to the $35k region has led many to believe that the bull market is back. Some analysts believe this is just the effect of historical October patterns, and we may see a significant pullback for accumulation and liquidity purposes before the bull season kicks off. I'm confused, which is why I'm here. What's your opinion, fellow traders?"

I think it looks like Bitcoin will reach a price value of 40k each this coming December 2023 or before the end of this month of November. Because in these times, we are really in an uptrend. And others, even though we are bullish right now, think it might just be a bull trap.

And in my opinion, based on my charting observation, it looks like bitcoin will actually have a liquidation, and if it drops, maybe only between 31k and 33k, I guess in my own opinion.
I agree with your speculations. If you look at the price movement and the candles one who truly understand the system will definitely believe that Bitcoin will hit 40k this month or December. A lot of things have been said to be the reason behind the sudden rise of Bitcoin. One which is because of the approval of the Bitcoin ETF that has led so many persons to be interested in holding Bitcoin. They believe if Para venture the Bitcoin ETF is approved there will be a full bull session for Bitcoin so they don't want to miss the train while they can see it.
719  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy every dip! on: November 14, 2023, 06:55:28 PM
Maybe the term HODL  should be written in full with it explanation attached to it always. It means hold on to dear life I had to emphasise the dear life so people will know that they shouldn't just expect a return overnight.

That is bullshit.  

HODL does not mean "hold on for dear life"

That was some no coiner gambler who came up with that characterization of HODL in order to wrongly imply some level of gambling and/or panic/stress that a HODLer needs to have.

There are ways to set up your BTC investment strategies so that you do not need to fear prices, and if prices go down you get more sats for the amount of dollars that you are using to buy them.. so whether you buy on the dip or you DCA, you should well consider that if you start to run out of money and the BTC price is going down, then you may well need to HODL in those circumstances. .at least until you get more money, then at that point you might choose to buy some more bitcoin with your new cashflow.

There also might be some other times that you choose to HODL on the way up, and surely those are personal choices in regards to how much BTC that you might have had already accumulated, and there could be some stress in terms of trying to decide what to do, even if the BTC price might be going up.  

Panic can come at various points in time if you have not set forth some kind of reasonable plan and attempted to mostly follow the plan even when there might come about some circumstances that had been previously unexpected, but if you have an overall solid plan, you should be able to figure out some kind of a reasonable approach to what to do in regards to your BTC, even if you had not completely planned for the situation that is being experienced that might end up going beyond expectations.  HODL.. is one of the potential solutions, but it is not the ONLY solution, so when and how HODL might be applied may well differ from person to person, but hopefully we are not getting ourself into emotional states that are too far gone that we start to believe that HODL itself is a kind of an emotional state rather than a decision that is within one of our plan options.

Long term HODL should also not be too emotional, even though maybe there should be some decently good feelings if you may have built up your BTC position to such a status that it is giving you more options, even if you might not be choosing to exercise your options, but sometimes when we have a decently sized BTC stash, we might well feel free to either accumulate large amounts of cash or even to invest into some other kinds of assets with our incoming cashflow because we have largely already established our BTC position. .and we choose to mostly and perhaps not exclusively HODL it.

By the way, the timeline of NOT expecting quick returns may well likely help to establish that the first few years in bitcoin might be the most difficult while building up a bitcoin stash, and surely there are going to be some members who take a couple of cycles to build up their BTC stash. .and there is nothing wrong with that - especially considering that sometimes we may well have difficulties to either increase our income or to decrease our expenses in order that we might be able to buy more bitcoin, so we just have to figure out a level of purchase that is suitable for us.. and that there may be a lot of holding time that accompanies the building of a BTC stack.. including establishing ways to secure our stash through our own self-custody, even if we might not start out with self-custody until we learn some of the available options and figure out which options might be suitable to our own situations.

Thanks for being so explanatory to Hewlet. Although i did not see where you mentioned or stated the full meaning of HODL "Hold on For Dear Life," I was curious to hear what you will say it is as i have my own meaning which is as simple as HOLD LONG. HODL became the epitome of an investment approach to Bitcoin that avoids trading based on short-term price movements and gains. This approach reflects inexperienced traders are likely to screw up their attempts to time the market and lose money or make less than those who simply hold their coins.

The HODLers only are interested in just a particular thing, which is to eliminate the emotional states that come with investing.  These states are popularly known to be FOMO (fear of missing out) FUD (fear of uncertainty and doubt). These fears have led to so many investors to have sell their Bitcoin at a lower value, resulting in losses or reduced profits for investors in the long run.

The game might be difficult for Arsenal because most of their players are facing injuries and these players are mostly their key players, perhaps before the matchday one or two may have returned from injury.

Arsenal coach has to hope that none of his players who will be on international duty don't get injured because that will be more trouble for him and against what he is hoping to achieve this season with the club. In their next game against Lens, they have the better advantage winning since they will playing at home and always play well at home. Arsenal are desperately in need of new signings, they will have the January window to make that reinforcement to the team because if they qualify for the next stage of the competition, it will be a tougher test.
Guess it's too late for that. It has been officially disclosed that the three Brazilians. Gabreil Jesus, Gabreil Martineli and Gabriel Mahgaalles of Arsenal l has successfully arrived at Brazil today and might start training as soon as possible.

This is the speech from Brazil team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar on Gabriel Jesus:

"We have maintained contact with the club’s medical department and the athlete. He is recovering from a muscle injury to the back of his right thigh.

However, i saw the effort Arsenal coach has to put to avoid most of his players going for the international games. He had to even lie that most of them are in on injury. I won't blame him because most of his players are on injury, and he has two leagues his fighting for which is the EPL and UCL. Arsenal's coach doesn't want to take any chance of losing the league, so it has to act wise and play safe.
