741  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: When you make mistakes, do not fail to take corrections. on: April 12, 2024, 08:59:20 PM
Make mistakes and also take corrections. This is one of the things i learnt in this forum as Newbie and it's helped me through my journey this far so I decided to create this thread to help encourage other new members. It's in our human nature to make errors, that's to say that they’re inevitable and bound to happen but the most important thing is to take corrections, learn from the mistakes, to avoid making more errors.

 There are some errors that people make out of ignorance, for instance wrong quoting or posting on the wrong board, do not panic when you make such errors, normally as a Newbie you're here to learn and impact knowledge when you can therefore you should see those errors as a learning process. Also, there are members that would take it upon themselves to bring such errors to your notice and probably give you the necessary corrections, now that's where taking corrections comes in, do not panic it might lead you to make more errors while you're in a rush to correct yourself, take your time, take note of your mistakes so as not to make more similar ones in future and correct them carefully.

 Sometimes you might feel you're making the right points, giving your opinions about some threads but do not feel threatened when someone quote you wrong, try to prove yourself right if you're sure of your points or take corrections if you discover they're right. Note that no one knows it all and there are lots of people on here that might be far more inteligent than you, so sometimes instead of arguing it's best to take corrections and learn.
Just like you said OP, we are humans we do make errors, but the most important thing is to correct your errors, however you can as well limit your errors by asking the right question and you will definitely get the right answers. everybody here was once a newbie and those experts you see today, were once newbies who improved over time with the right knowledge. The forum is full of people with wealth of experience and knowledge in cryptocurrency and Bitcoin especially that are always ready to make explanations to you wherever your lost.

OP, sometimes Arguing with some persons that are intelligent than you, sometimes can help to broaden your sense of knowledge, because they can easily point out maybe errors in your line of argument and you take correction from there.

In the year 2010,my best friend introduce me to cryptocurrency and he advice me to invest in bitcoin. I felt bitcoin was another ponzi scheme created by scammers to scam innocent people. Today my friend is a multi Millionaire. If only I had listened to his advice,I would have become a millionaire by now.
Op, you are not the only person to fall within this category of persons that didn't have the believe to invest in Bitcoin at the early stage, that is nature for you, people always look down on humble beginning, people always don't want to give credence to little things. Because even if you had earlier invested, how long do you think you will be willing to hold, do you think you would have held on it till now, I don't think so. Yours is even lucky because you had the information at early stage and you didn't invest, however for some of us in Africa, we were not privy to some of these informations about bitcoin at the earliest stage of it and some will even say, they didn't have the resource to invest at that early days.

However I still believe the time is not late because you can still use the opportunity you have now to grasp at the little investment on bitcoin that you can, because the availability of Bitcoin is  still there for future assurance, so that in the next 10 years you will correct this statement your making now.
743  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: HOW ILLITERACY AFFECT BITCOIN INVESTMENT/DISCUSSION on: April 12, 2024, 04:32:39 PM
My people e just come to my notice say unemployment for don reduce for naija if many people were educated and informed about Bitcoin. There is a saying that Education is the key to success. But people wey no go school dey See who go school  as a waste of time and effort because of hard economy. And tag it "school na scam".

School no be scam. Who no go school don  scam himself ful time. I dey always talk am say the  C.E.O of Facebook (Mack zugarberg) for don rich pass as e dey now if many people been go school.

E dey always hungry many people to join bitcoin discussion or BTC investment and many other online businesses. But e no easy. If you check the rate of illiteracy for my country naija you go see say e plenty.

So wetting ona go fit talk for this kind thing my people? Or wetting b the way forward.
The situation for we country dey affect both the educated and uneducated, why e be like that be say, government over the years never really create budget way dey people oriented, why go touch the lives of people. See if availability of jobs dey, ego dey for people way go school and people way no go school, sometimes them dey call am, skilled and non-skilled labor. However the reason why people see say school na scam, na because say even after schooling a lot of graduates still find it extremely difficult to secure a well paying job, perhaps most of them just dey manage the jobs way dey under pay them( a high category of graduates fall under am), which to an extent discourages those that are still yet to go or make them see it in a bad light.

Schooling is basically a formal way of learning, which equips you with intellectual knowledge, and shouldn't be seen as any other thing.
744  Economy / Economics / Re: Will inflation become big challenge for retired people after 10-20 years? on: April 12, 2024, 10:15:18 AM
Not that it is causing but that is how it was before if you leave your retirement savings in fiat. The government will manipulate it again and again in a way that after long time, the value if the money will decrease. That is why it is good to invest your money on assets like gold, or buy properties. You can even invest little amount on bitcoin when the bear market has been very significant.
It's only a handful of workers that can lay their hands on good money to enable them make some investments on these valuable assets, why I'm saying so is because, if you check the trajectory of the workforce in most countries, you see that some workers are earning what will take care of them and their family alone, whatever that is left for saving is literally next to nothing. So where will some of workers during their active years in service get that huge amount to invest in real estate, golds etc. however in my own thinking, it should rather be that, government should give an upward review on monthly pensions in every 10 years, at least to help the pensioners beat inflation slightly.
745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: April 11, 2024, 06:49:47 PM
I was walking down my street this evening I saw some group of guys in a hidden corner of an uncompleted building playing WHOT games ordinarily I felt they are just spending usual time as friends and that they are playing the WHOT game to keep themselves busy while discussing.

But when I got closer to them I discovered that there was a dirty container close to them and inside the container is money they bet for the game they are playing , and if not careful observed you will never believe that they are playing bet games .

My curiosity led me closer to them I was interacting with one of them and at same time observing what they are doing , one thing I observed was that they stake with huge amount and they don’t give you change even when your money requires change instead you will use it and bet for another round.

So at this point I decided to bring it here to know or see different views from different intellects here on why some do some people hide just to gamble or if it is the best way to gamble ?.
That place might actually just be conducive environment for them to play their game, away from public views. Don't forget that money is involved, so they might also be thinking about the safety of their money too, so a quiet and safe corner is the real deal.  It seems to me like more of street gambling, where gamblers throw dice on the floor, which to a large extent is played among friends and allies within a street. I've seen this thing often times within my neighborhood, so for me it's pretty a normal thing.

Liverpool will be playing against Atalanta in tonight's encounter but we shouldn't have much faith with these guys  (Liverpool) because we see them scoring much goals before getting to the quarter finals, playing like they're in the final or something but let's not forget that Liverpool are playing with caution, Klopp won't want anything to affect any of his best players since they played a draw against UTD and they're second on the log in the EPL.
Klopp would try to get his boys to start leading the game from the first half but I see the visitors giving Liverpool a bit of a headache and if some how the away team somehow gets a win in this first leg like 0-1 then there would be much pressure on Liverpool, well it won't be too easy for that to happen and I feel the return leg won't be easy for Klopp and his boys (that's if Liverpool lose 0-1) but I'd say a draw is likely to happen in this encounter.
Klopp normally has a wrong tactical formation whenever he meets Manchester United, however that won't stop him from likely winning Atalanta who are currently occupying the 6th position in Italian seria A with 50 points. Atalanta are obviously the underdog's in that encounter. Liverpool won't be deterred by the draw they had in the premium league encounter with united.  These first leg is going to be played in anfield, which Liverpool will definitely fight to get a win and maybe try to get a draw when they go over to Italy, because the pressure will definitely be on the Italian side if Liverpool gets a win for which is highly possible tonight.

Man UTD are suppose to lose that game and if you match UTD and Atalanta I'd go for the Italian side to win because they're better than the red devils but that's by the way. A draw is highly possible to happen and if eventually it happened I don't see Liverpool getting any chance of coming back when they visit Atalanta.
Klopp will try to be careful like I have been saying, when that happens don't be surprised if he starts making wrong changes, he shouldn't make that mistake of starting those young lads against their opponent tonight because if he does, it won't go down well and if Atalanta gets the first goal you'd see Liverpool on the panicking end trying to get an equalizer which will be hard.
How can you say the Italian side are better than Manchester United and why do you think Manchester United are suppose to lose that game against Liverpool, if you had watched that match, you will recognise that Liverpool was on a losing side, and they had to luckily draw the game during die minute. However don't also forget that Manchester United won Liverpool during their last FA cup game, so on what basis are you saying that Manchester United are suppose to lose that match?

Manchester United and Atalanta are are on the same level in their domestic league, however Liverpool is at top of league table with a fantastic weekly result. So I don't see how Atalanta are not the underdog's going head to head with Liverpool.

Quote from: TopT3ns
Quote from: skarais
Playing a draw at home is not always considered bad if Arsenal can provide a better game in the second leg (away match). Of course, Bayern Munich will likely be the favorite at home, but Arsenal is a good team who will most likely also win the second leg.

Manchester City and Arsenal both ended the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals with a draw. They have good form to hope for a ticket to the semifinals, but Real Madrid and Bayern Munich also have the same chance in the second leg. This match will be very interesting of course, that's because all four teams still have a chance.
From this match it was clear that Arsenal dominated the game and they also managed to score the first score. Actually, if we look at Arsenal's performance then victory is in sight. Luckily, Bayern Munich got a penalty kick so they managed to make the result end in a draw. If Bayern Munich didn't managed to take advantage of this opportunity, Arsenal emerged as the winners. I am sure that in the second leg Arsenal will use their full strength to snatch victory from Bayern Munich.

The two teams really played the match well to my satisfaction, because I thought that Arsenal will defeat Bayern Munich with many goals but it was a shocked when I saw Bayern Munich equalized the goals not to give Arsenal a breathing space through out the match. We know that Bayern Munich always use to disgraced Arsenal in this champions league competition, especially in the quarter final battle but Arsenal need to break that record because if they fail to break the record in their second leg, it will make Bayern Munich to remain popular and it will brings respect to their coach also. Many people know that Arsenal will not allow what happened in the first leg to happen in their second leg, because they have some strange tactics they will going to use in this second leg to embrace victory from Bayern Munich and to make the world believe that positive things has changed in Arsenal through the help of their coach.
Given the the strength of Bayern Munich when it comes to champions league, definitely arsenal played very well, however I feel at some point the referee wasn't too fair on arsenal, the tackle Manuel neuer had on Bukayo saka was for me a penalty, but VAR didn't see it to be a penalty, also if not for the penalty Bayern had, that game would have been won clearly by arsenal. I know the second leg in Munich is going to be a tough one, be I believe arsenal will definitely come out victorious because of how tactical they've been with their style of play, because for me, I would say Bayern where lucky to get a draw.

PSG lost 3-2 to Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-final first leg match between Barcelona vs PSG. Raphinha's two early goals for Barcelona essentially put Barcelona well ahead of PSG. Mbappe failed to score for PSG, basically PSG fell far behind in that place. Expectations were high for PSG this season in the Champions League but they fell short in the first leg against Barcelona. PSG's first leg loss to Barcelona means that the next match is easy for Barcelona but relatively difficult for PSG. Even if Barcelona can't score in the next match, PSG must win by at least 2-0. Since Barcelona won the first leg, Barcelona must play for the win in the second leg. The first leg matches are very important for every team since the Champions League quarter finals and Barcelona easily cleared the first leg hurdle.

I don't think PSG will advance far in the Champions League this season. What does yesterday's performance mean? They played a very bad match. Imagine that Barcelona, who hasn't played well this season, comes to PSG's pitch and wins 3-2. It's very embarrassing for a team to lose at home, and in the Champions League, you have to play well and win to advance to the second leg. PSG's first leg match gives Barcelona a chance to advance to the next round of the Champions League semifinal. The second leg of the match will take place in Barcelona Field, and I don't think PSG will beat Barcelona there, which is why I think Barcelona will qualify.

Why is this season's Champions League different, I'm starting to wonder? The reason for this is that in the Real Madrid vs. Manchester City match, the best players for Real Madrid, Vinicius and Bellingham, are unable to play as well as they used to be able to. De Bruyne of Manchester City also did not play because of how he felt before the game, and yesterday, mbape, who is making PSG proud, did not even attempt to score a goal. He failed to have even one shot on goal, which is unfortunate because PSG desperately needs Mbappe right now. If he doesn't show up by playing well, that will be it for them in the Champions League this year.

I feel right from time PSG have always found it difficult to play Barcelona, I remember in 2017 when Barcelona made a come back against Paris Saint-Germain, in a game that saw Barcelona down on four goals in the first leg of that encounter, Barcelona later went on to win the  second leg making the aggregate 6-5. A come back a lot of football fans never saw coming because we all felt Barcelona where Already out based on the result of the first leg, so outside of yesterday's game, PSG always find it difficult to maintain a win whenever they meet Barcelona, mbappé was performing as if he was under a spell not create impact on the game.
750  Economy / Economics / Re: When your Fiat currency fail, reboot and launch a new one -Zimbabwe ZiG on: April 10, 2024, 04:11:27 PM
So, I reckon you guys saw this ===> https://www.cnbcafrica.com/2024/zimbabwe-relaunches-currency-in-latest-inflation-fight/

The Central Bank Governor says, “We want a solid and stable national currency in this country” ... sure, but for how long, until it slides into infinity.

The ZiG are backed by a basket of foreign currencies and gold and ZiG is short for Zimbabwe Gold. 🤔
There is a good quote from one of the most famous anime: "It's pointless to increase the number of heads if they're all empty". They are re-launching their national currency for the sixth time in 44 years. Their first Zimbabwean dollar was launched in 1980, their sixth ZWL is getting launched soon. Six currency failed in 44 years, this means that they should stop printing an unlimited supply of money and there will be no inflation. Also, they have to work on their high corruption to lower it, reward students who study science and math, attract investors and etc...
I agree with your line of thought, considering the value of the countries currency, redesigning it and renaming isn't the solution to reduce inflation and to add value to the near valueless situation of the Zimbabwe currency. Corruption has been the whole mark of the economic crisis Zimbabwe is facing right from the time of late president Mugabe, so why not increase your productive base, export your product and get Forex and add value to your local currency. Also make the economy attractive for foreign investors which has to do with reducing corruption so you can promote healthy competition between local and foreign investors.

The Zimbabwean CBN is getting it all wrong by relaunching a new fiat currency, if at this age and time they feel a new fiat will give their economy a facelift, then they really need to rethink their stance.

752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 09, 2024, 08:12:23 PM
I dont know what to think about both games of today, but in the Arsenal Bayern one is more complicated than ever, because Bayern is shit we already know that but sometimes they wake up and recover some of his memories and plays good, plus Tuchel knows very well how english teams plays and Harry Kane knows also how to score against the big six.....

It is true that Bayern Munich are not in good form. In the last two matches in the Bundesliga, defeats against Dortmund and Heindenheim, the performance of the Bayern Munich team has not been good. But let's not forget that Bayern Munich is an experienced team on the Champions League platform. Even losing the last two Bundesliga games could be part of Thomas Tuchel's strategy.

Arsenal team is in very good form right now. The top spot in the Premier League is now occupied by Arsenal. The performance of this team is good enough in the Champions League as well. So there is no doubt that today's match will be very competitive. But it is impossible to predict which team will win.

This is very true, Bayern Munich has not been in good form as it has affected their position in the league and after losing straight two matches in the league against the clubs you mentioned here,we can actually say they are in poor form since they have made the title win of Bayer Leverkusen very easy and possible. But looking at their performance in the champions League, it's very possible they won't perform in the same way they are doing in the league a typical example is their last qualification match against Lazio where they won by 3:0 even when no one expected that level of performance. Thomas Tuchel wouldn't want to drop 6 points just to distract Arsenal in the champions League match but since he knows that Arsenal is in good form he's going to encourage his players to forget about the league matches and play like men because champions league is a game of the men and they will Play against Arsenal like men because they have both experience and good history against Arsenal.
Given the current form arsenal is right now, I doubt if Bayern Munich can even get a draw at the moment. Outside the fact that Bayern Munich have experience players that are regular in the champions league as added advantage, they still don't possess the tactics based on their current form to withstand arsenal. This first leg is taking place at the emirate stadium, which is why I think arsenal will not hesitate to use home advantage as well, because the champions League mentality has always been that, do whatever you can to win at your home with good number of goals, so can at least get a draw when you go away.

Don't forget that champions league is different from league matches where some club will not be serious at some point, this is champions league where experience most times helps in winning games and Bayern Munich has not been in poor form in the champions League they are underperforming only in the league matches and having a good scoring and winning history against the informed Arsenal will also motivate them to do better to repeat the history. The performance of Arsenal will show if they are really ready to stop Bayern Munich from progressing to the semi finals and to stop Bayern Munich they have to win at least with 2 or more goals so that when they go for the returning leg in Germany they can score a draw so they can qualify with goal aggregate but if they allow Bayern Munich to have the opportunity to possess the ball more, we may have an unexpected result.


The form of Arsenal should give them the win at home but Bayern Munich is a team with good experience and having Harry Kane as a striker, Arsenal defense will have to do a good job by not allowing him to get into their box otherwise we will see plenty goals and it won't be a good result for Arsenal.


I agree with your assertion about experience when it comes to champions league for Bayern Munich, however for this firs half  they've shown that prowess by leading 2-1 before half time.  I still strongly believe arsenal have that capacity to come back into the game.

But you saying Bayern Munich are reserving their energy for champions league, I quite disagree with that. what if the result doesn't go in their favour in the champions league, what if they've just been lucky to be at these stage of the champions league. I'm saying so because if they had that capacity, they would have been replicating it in their domestic league.

E don tey wey dem introduce enaira for Nigeria, but as we dey look am now, why enaira no dey work?
Why Nigerians No Dey Use eNaira?
No misunderstand, Nigerians  Na crypto enthusiasts meaning say them like crypto well well.
Even though Central Bank of Nigeria bin ban crypto activities for banking sector some time ago, but dem don lift the ban. One crypto platform talk say over 33.4 million Nigerians dey trade or hold crypto assets. The question be say
Why country wey dey love crypto well well just decide to abandon their own digital currency?
According to research I make the following factors follow make E-naira for Nigeria unsuccessfull

1. When CBN ban Crypto
Wen Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) stop banks from dey allow payments wey get to do with crypto for February 2021, Nigerian crypto users see am as attack against dem.
Later wey dem bring eNaira, e be like say dem dey compete with crypto, so e make crypto lovers feel say dem no suppose dey use am; E be like say na psychology matter for my mind.
If CBN bin involve these crypto people for the eNaira plan, e for fit make crypto popular pass and plenty Nigerians for don dey use am.

2. CBN no want Partnership
For dem to do eNaira on their own dey bad idea because CBN na regulator, e no be institution wey dey face consumers.

3. Internet Access
The requirement for wallet to use smartphone and internet dey hard, but think about the people wey you dey try send money to; dem fit dey very poor,  without a good smart phone or even some villages wey network no dey reach

4. We no trust government again
Since then get the mind bind crypto and related activities investors wey supposed invest for the E-naira no come trust the credibility of this government as some see am say the politicians no want make young people get money pass them through crypto. Because even that time Davido been announce say em go buy Bitcoin.

My people for this matter abeg make we add our opinions.





The truth be say enaira na CBDC and na government controlled currency, so that partnership wey u dey find between Bitcoin enthusiast with CBN no go fit get head, no forget say Bitcoin dey decentralized, which means no government dey control am. However I understand the point way u dey try make, like make e be say enaira get headway so it's circulation will be imminently rampant within Nigerian users, however watin really spoil that project initiated by CBN na the crypto ban way Buhari government been put for ground, forgetting that na Young Nigerians go actually help them push the enaira agenda, and cryptocurrency ban affected the young Nigerians more.

Despite many rumours they are missing quality striker like Real Madrid their attack is one of the best in Premier League as they score 75 goals and also their defense is also having one of the best with they concede only 24 which are fewest in the Premier League in this season mean their team is well-balanced in all ways.

Even still we have doubts about their chances for winning the title, but now they are having one of the best side in this league and things can take well control for the next season as well because Mikel Arteta dedication and leadership is amazing after Jürgen Klopp and Pepe in this league and things are impressive as well while we will have them in future as well for me now we are heading for the Arsenal era in coming years because Mikel Arteta is doing good job and if management keep faith in his strategy and success we can have good things for them for winning many trophies.
Maybe it is time for Arsenal to regain their glory in the Premier League. And all of that is thanks to a talented coach like Arteta. I hope Arteta continues to be trusted there and makes extraordinary history with Arsenal. because I feel that next season Arsenal can be even better. Because as we can see, it seems like every season Arsenal continues to develop under Arteta's coaching.

Last season they came close to winning the title but fell short, and let's see if this season they will finally succeed.
Mikel Arteta needs to be really appreciated, haven been under the tutulage of pep guardiola has really thought him a great lesson in football tactics formation and capabilities of forming a team that has creative midfield approach. Since the absence of arsene Wenger, arsenal haven't gotten a better option until the arrival of Arteta.

If they can maintain this current position, then lifting the trophy might not be an issue, However the people behind them are heavy weight ( Liverpool and Manchester city), though arsenal needs to be appreciated given the fact that last season they came close to winning the league title, and now they are still in the race to win the league with a competitive advantage at the moment.

What would make a government to rebrand their traditional currencies just to edit some graphic designs with excessive amounts of money bills involved to execute such project that doe not mean to brings more values to the currency neither does it boost the economy level of the nation?

Meanwhile such is been an undeveloped country which the implemented bill for such valueless project is big enough to create infrastructures with the potentials of building the masses with valuable skills and otherwise a national financial revenue.

Do we assume it is still one of the money laundering strategies that the government intentionally creates loopholes in other to steal the public funds? Because even after the implementations and execution of Such projects, the same governments clamours that the nation has run out of funds after giving accounts of those irrelevant executed projects.
OP, the design and refacing of a countries currency has been a habitual method that is even constitutional, for some countries is after a decade, some after two decades. There are several reasons why a country redesigns their currency note, it can be for a facelift, it can be to discouraged people that have looted the currency and hoarded it for a very long time, it can as well to be to fight against counterfeit notes that might be out there in circulation.  

What gives a countries currency value, is not redesigning of the currency, it is the economic viability of that country. However i don't see redesigning of a countries currency as a valueless project, I see it as a constitutional duty that is done procedurally to keep the countries bill in check.  Currently in ENGLAND they are gradually facing of the the British pounds that carries the image of late QUEEN ELIZABETH and replacing it with the image of KING CHARLES, because they laws allows that.

For me OP, it is not every action that your government takes that you have to criticize, sometimes you just have to look at the policies that government are presenting critically before you start criticizing.

I was not surprised that Liverpool could not beat Manchester United at Old Trafford in their Premier League match yesterday. This season, since Liverpool could not beat Manchester United in the Premier League and FA Cup, I knew they would find it difficult to beat Manchester United in the Premier League. Even though Liverpool drew with Manchester United, the Premier League title race is wide-open because Arsenal and Liverpool have the same points.
Since both teams needed the winning for the Premier League top position(Liverpool for the PL title, and Manchester United for chances of the Europa League even though the chances are slim), having a draw point was the least they could do for themselves but for me, it would have been preferable for Liverpool to have the three points win because of the PL title win.

Since the match happened to be a draw point, not no point added, Liverpool focused on lifting the PL trophy can still happen, if they can be determined to win the rest of their remaining(seven) games. I believe Arsenal and Manchester City will have such a mindset to win their remaining games. That's what we will see as the match results unfold every week. I wish the three top clubs luck as the PL fight for the title becomes more competitive as which clubs own it
The race has been intensive, and it's still currently open given the draw Liverpool played against Manchester united, and you shouldn't be surprised because this is football.  I knew the came pattern of Manchester united has been difficult for Liverpool to conquer, the tactics they play it's a bit difficult for Liverpool unlike Manchester city that will conquer the midfield and push the players backyard, and the rest of the midfield will be their conquered territory.

"Since the match happened to be a draw point, no point added " I disagree with this your statement. at least they shared a point, if they most win the EPL, then Manchester united remained as obstacle they needed to surmount, however they couldn't, because no obstacle is small especially in the game of football. Going by the way things are now, if arsenal decides to win all their games remaining now, then they will definitely lift the trophy.

Today is a very interesting matchday... Man U did not lose to Liverpool, although they could even win, but they had the same bad luck as in the last match against Chelsea... But Liverpool disappointingly missed out on the top spot in the EPL... And Chelsea could not beat Sheffield, which is in last place in the standings...
Man United's performance was still quite good against Liverpool even though the previous match lost to Chelsea but I was happy with last night's match.
Chelsea is worse, somehow Chelsea is worse playing with the lower teams than playing with the upper teams this team reacts faster but with Shuffield not being able to win it is really bad because this team is at the bottom.
This is why I always hesitate when betting on Chelsea games.
Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Sheffield United keeps amusing me on how possible can that be to have a draw match with a relegation club after showing us a tremendous performance last week with late minutes-winning goals against Manchester United that made many say Chelsea must have picked their performance skills back for them to win Manchester United, not knowing that the big flop is their way this week when they face Sheffield United.

Anyone who's betting on Chelsea to win any of their matches in the remaining matches of the Premier League needs to be reminded that Chelsea can win a relegation club. Sheffield United and Burney are the two relegation clubs, Chelsea is having a draw within the space of two weeks. What a shameful thing

It's a very shameful draw which makes most Chelsea fan felt as if they lost the game, because if they cannot win a team like Sheffield united that are in the relegation zone, who are they going to win? That is how they struggled against Burnley even when they are a man down, this shows how horrible this Chelsea team is.

And as for the manager, I really don't think he actually knows what he was doing because yesterday when they where leading 2-1, he removed people he ort  not to , and the changes that cost them the game is for him to remove cucurella and brought on badachile who is in a very bad for of recent, and he was the one that cause the equalizing goal of Sheffield united, because he missed a heading clearance, which eventually led to the equalizer.
Those Chelsea fans shouldn't get that kind of feelings. this is football, they won Manchester United in a game that had already ended in favour of Manchester United, the golden rule in football had to play in, which says it's not over until it's over.

Liverpool drew against Manchester United yesterday, I personally thought Manchester United had won that game, but before the final whistle, it ended 2-2.  Liverpool fans where bitter and excited at the same time with that game, because it was a game they needed to win to maintain their gap with arsenal, however it was looking as if they will lose the match, as it was 2-1 in favour of United even towards die minute, their dreams where shattered as they didn't see a lose against Manchester United coming, despite losing to them at the FA CUP,  so at some point they had to smile again as it end 2-2, though not the result they were yearning for but at least they got a point. Half bread 🥪🍞 they say is better than nothing.

I saw this news some days back about call of Duty cheaters losing their bitcoin as hackers target gamers with malware on https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2024/03/29/call-of-duty-cheaters-allegedly-lose-their-bitcoin-as-hackers-target-gamers-with-malware/

Quote
The malware has already impacted hundreds of thousands of players and the numbers are still growing, as per malware market informer @vxunderground.
“It should be noted that some of these accounts are also not cheaters,” @vxunderground added. “Some users impacted utilized gaming software for latency improvement, VPNs, and certain controller boosting software.”

Call of Duty cheat code provider “PhantomOverlay” was first to notice the suspicious activity after users reported unauthorized purchases. Rival cheat providers like Elite PVPers confirmed similar attacks to @vxunderground in the past week.

The stolen data includes freshly stolen credentials, with some victims also reporting their Electrum wallets were also drained. The total amount of crypto stolen is still unknown.

Call of Duty developer Activision Blizzard (ATVI) is reportedly working with the cheat code providers to help the affected players. The current estimated number of compromised accounts includes over 3.6 million Battlenet accounts, 561,000 Activision accounts, and 117,000 Elite PVPers accounts.


Base on the same news, this is not the first time hackers have targeted game cheaters have targeted, another popular game, Fortnite were a suppose cheat became a malware to still gamers bitcoin logins in 2018 https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2018/10/05/fake-cheat-for-popular-game-fortnite-hides-bitcoin-targeting-malware/ and then in 2019 they experience another one https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2019/08/26/new-crypto-stealing-ransomware-targets-fortnite-players/


Hackers will continue to target gamers since there are alot of things they get from them if they get access to their gaming accounts like their credit card, email address, bitcoin and other cryptocurrency and others. I would advice to use a seperate device for gaming in what you use for holding of your coins, have a seperate credit card for gaming and also try to have a seperate passwordand email for gaming

 Kaspersky  did research on cyber attacks base on data shared voluntarily by their users from July 1, 2022 to July 1, 2023. Here is their key findings
Key findings
From July 1, 2022 to July 1, 2023:
  • In total, Kaspersky detected 4,076,530 game-related desktop infection attempts over the past year, which affected 192,456 gamers worldwide.
  • The most common threat was Downloaders (89.70%), followed by Adware (5.25%) and Trojans (2.39%).
  • The top game used as a lure was Minecraft, which saw 70.29% of all detections, followed by Roblox (20.37%), Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (4.78%) and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (2.85%).
  • Our mobile solutions detected 436,786 gaming-related infection attempts that affected 84,539 users.
  • Minecraft users (90.37%) were the biggest targets for mobile malware, with PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (5.09%), Roblox (3.33%) and Baldur’s Gate (0.68%) being the next most often used lures.

From the report, it said that the hackers are targeting game-cheaters,  so is it that, cheater's are been targeted because they are bypassing the system, are the hackers doing these  to also discourage others from cheating. However if that's the case, innocent persons can can actually download software's with malware attached to it, and then fall victim of this scammers, because from the report I'm seeing, people using Electrum wallet where not spared.

" The game developer is reported working with the cheat code providers to help the affected players",         my question is, is it to help those games Cheaters to recover their lost coins, or help de-escalate the matter my making sure hackers don't get access to cause havoc again, or not to allow cheaters compromise the system again?

Paternity fraud is increasingly becoming a trend these days. Every day, we wake up to different news about paternity fraud, which is becoming worrisome. Why would people be so wicked or careless to do that?

Three major causes of the high incidence of paternity fraud are
1: The woman having multiple partners:  When a woman has sexual relationships with more than one partner within the same timeframe, this can lead to uncertainty about the biological father of the child conceived during this time.

2: The woman not understanding her menstrual cycle to accurately estimate the time of ovulation. Some women who have multiple partners and can't calculate their ovulation are not aware of who the father of their child is until a DNA test is done.

3: When a child is switched at birth.

People should desist from this because this act is harmful, and it has consequences like emotional pain for your partner, feelings of betrayal, and it also has a psychological impact on the child.
OP the factor's you've enlisted are the true causes of paternity fraud. However DNA has helped a lot of people not to raise children that is not theirs, some too have raised children that is not theirs and later found out about the true paternity of that child.  but as a parent, its actually painful to raise a child that is not yours without knowing, and maybe in the later part of the years, you see somebody coming to clame with evidence a child you've raised with love and passion, telling you to your face that your not the legitimate father of that baby you've nurtured, the feelingvat that moment cannot be described.
