To be selected as a merit source amongst other users can be likened to a leadership position that has been handed to you, and as a leader it is not expected you lead with sentiments and emotions. You lead the territory that you are leader of and try as much as you can to be fair to everyone under it. A good leader separates emotions and sentiments from leadership, same goes for a merit source. As a merit source of a board, it is your duty and something expected of you to be fair in your distribution of merits to quality topics and contributions in that board regardless of your personal opinion of the person who has made the post/contribution. Your ability to separate emotions and sentiments from your distribution of merits makes you a good merit source that deserves to continue.

In the case of next time, try to include where you from, makes the discussion more direct and reduces the stress of us wondering where you are from.

You were successful because your employers know about bitcoins, If they have had no idea, trying to convince them to use a new payment method for just you that they do not know would have been more cumbersome.

Mctominay and Maguire saved Erik Ten Hag's job. Sure nobody has both players on their team. Casimero and Bruno wo I have on my team from Manchester United cored very low points, Fernandes with 2 points and Casimero with 1 

I had Jackson, I transferred him out, and he scored but I do not regret it. My regret is who I exchanged him for that is Awoniyi, bad news this week is Awoniyi did not play due to a groin injury, and he will expectedly return in November.

The only Chelsea player worth keeping is Cole Palmer. The young lad is a talent.

Not the points I expected from Son, but I will keep him still.

For clout, for the attention and popularity that it can bring.

Many people are looking for ways to be popular and they know that since the identity of Satoshi is unknown, claiming to be him/her will attract a lot of interest from people who know the name Satoshi Nakamoto and are interested in knowing the face behind the identity.

We cannot take people who are claiming to be Satoshi serious because the real deal will know exactly how to make everybody believe, they will not need to make empty claims.

A simple but effective analogy even though they are not on the same level for comparison.

 It can can help convince people who are double minded and finding it difficult to accept bitcoins that bitcoin is the future. Your analogy can be adopted by other forum users who are finding it difficult coming up with an analogy of their own to help in convincing people around as it is basic and relatable.

This analogy will only be suitable for people who have low understanding, not people who have a high understanding of things and will not need an explanation so basic.

Forum members are constantly looking out for each other, and newbies are always advised to be careful of the kind of private messages they respond to especially after creating topics asking for some sort of help or assistance.

Help is usually offered publicly in this forum, so that it helps another person as it helps you.

Many users on the forum possess vast knowledge and experience, and have no linking or relationship asides this forum that has become a meet place for everyone. If many users give the same answer to a question you ask, you can trust the information as reliable and correct.

This is better education to me, more of the really important and beneficial things and less of the bullshit and outdated curriculum.   

Exactly, If bitcoin is being taught in schools, learning will be spread over a long period of time, the kids will not need to learn everything at once. It will be introduced to them according to a curriculum in bits, and they will be able to comprehend.

That thread has become a mega thread, many spams there and some users like myself may not be interested in contributing to discussions in such threads. This discussion will also get lost there.

The other thread should even be locked.

Matty Cash has been good, but Cash will have a tough time with Hwang Hee-chan who is in the form of his life. He has scored four goals for wolves this season and last week he also scored the winning goal against the reigning champions of the premier league, to stop their unbeaten run. Makes me have doubts for Cash this GW.

Until Saka fully recovers, his performance will not be optimal. To fully recover, he needs to be rested for a couple of games in my opinion. If Gareth still picked him, the chances of him getting rest is still slim, meaning the time to fully recover will be longer.

Estupinan is not returning soon, he will miss up to four weeks of action.

If they were bad signals and the reviews were given by the people who the signal providers have solicited for reviews from, their reviews will be good and you will never know that they are not truthful. Signal groups should be for reference, not to be trusted or depended on because they can fail you when you least expect, and not always necessary if you can groom yourself into becoming a good trader.

Normal to claim such figures for the good publicity.

I have tried attending one before, it did not go as I expected. Almost everyone where acting like they are satoshi, like they know everything about bitcoins and had the most bitcoins in the way to carried themselves and answered when spoken to. The other set of people in the meet up where interested in promoting their business that they trade bitcoin and other cryptocurrency for fiat.

This forum for me remains the best place for you to feel among like a member of a community about something as serious as bitcoins. If you are a serious member here, there is no need to attend any local meet-up.

But also tell them about altcoins and why they should be avoided possibly. If you avoid talking about altcoins like a plague, it can make the inquisitive newcomers want to know why you did not talk about altcoins, and then become interested enough to invest in it.

New sports everyday, the various sports that currently exist must be boring already to some people.

It is far from being included in sportsbook because sportsbook mostly include sports that have high interest from gamblers, because that is where the business is. So unless  "pillow fight" somehow becomes very popular, most sportsbook will never consider it.

It is an important game that they have against Arsenal this GW, If they loose the game, they have also lost their top position on the table and it will become two consecutive losses for the team in the premier league. Alvarez and Doku will be very much needed against Arsenal that is why the coach may have decided to bring them in as substitutes for their UCL fixtures.

Very terrible, He will use up my free transfer this week.
 

He is such a good player with great potentials at a very young in a very big club. He created an assist, and scored the second goal. He has settled well into a club where many other players struggle to settle in and even find their place.

Manchester United still disappointing, a very bad start to a competition that they longed to play in, and they have lost their first two games. Ten Hag will not be fired because that is not the solution, Manchester United have a very poor defense that needs to improved on, and Onana the goalkeeper is not helping too, he needs to sit out a few games and the second choice Manchester United goalkeeper Tom Heaton who was very good in the preseason be used. Onana's loss of confidence is doing harm to the team.

I only had one exact score from the games yesterday and that was the PSV and Sevilla game, will possibly get more today.

Bayern and Real Madrid are the teams currently with six points in their groups, PSG, Manchester City and Barcelona will be aiming for the same results. 

Thinking from the other side, be careful and avoid agreeing to send money to any user without any reputation that sends you a private message with any kind of message in the form of they being able to sell bitcoins to you at a cheap rate if you will send money. It is a scam!

You have put yourself in the radar of these people by showing interest to know the cheapest way to buy bitcoins, so you have to be careful.

Just a friendly warning.

CBDC's are distractions to take your attention from what is the important thing which is bitcoins. CBDC's is what the government wants to use to deceive people not to use bitcoins and cryptocurrency for transactions. The creation of CBDC's is to ensure that they do not loose their third party grip that they have on the financial life of the citizens. In my opinion, they are unnecessary and maybe the next stage in evolution for the banks, but for us, bitcoin is what is next for us not CBDC's.

I almost forgot as well, but as I remembered as soon as I recalled that there will be Champions league games today.

I was 52/52 from the first round of games, my first experience playing then but did not have any beginners luck to start with.

I am confident I will not remain in that same position this round, I believe I have made better predictions in this round.

Do not see it as people trying to discourage you, they are rather trying to warn you and tell you the truth about trading and telling you what some people will avoid to tell you. Newbies to bitcoins need to consider the best way they intend to use in getting more bitcoins. Trading is one way, mining is another and the other way is DCA. From the three, the easiest for a newbie to do is DCA because it does not require as much skills as trading and mining does.

A newbie can become a trader, but they need to learn the basics first.

The difference between a dreamer and a doer is that a doer is someone who has taken action, and a prompter to take action is a strong believe that you can achieve what you have planned, this if fueled by believe, especially the believe that you have in your own abilities. Self believe beats the believe that other people have in you because it is motivating from within. Believe does not think that there will be no problems or obstacles to success, believe eliminates doubt that the problems will be unsolvable.

If your income is not enough to manage a family and you do not have a family yet, Do not start one.

There is already a high rate of crime, do not bring children into this world when you know you cannot yet carter for them, that is just adding more to the problems of the society. You should be able to take good care of yourself first before you start a family, do not fall into that trap where you are advised that you can start a family first, that money will come to take care of them, that is a lie!

Planning is the word that explains it all.

There are still people like the old you who are still waiting for bitcoin price to crash. These people are in all class and category of life.

- The first category who already have had other traditional investments that were already doing well before bitcoins, so they have little believe in what bitcoin is about and the ease with which bitcoin can be invested in. They do not trust bitcoins and are waiting for it to crash.
- The second category who are earning well, trying to look for something to invest in, but do not just trust bitcoins and are looking to invest in other things except bitcoins because they expect that sooner or later, they will be validated for making the right decision of not investing in bitcoins because of it's crash.
- Then the third category who are still struggling to earn, do not yet even have enough to invest but because of ignorance or misinformation just believe that bitcoins will crash.

I have pity for third category because they are ignorant that investment in bitcoins offers then good opportunities to level up, by investing the little they have in a strategic way.

Ignorance is really a disease!
