My question is this, do you think that the influx of more users or customers to the BTC network or Crypto currency network would crash the system or help it grow more?
OP I want you to understand that what makes a system stronger and more reliable is if it is experiencing high patronage or high customers being involved because that's the only way the system can be trusted by people like something that you see so many persons get involved in are normally really difficult to collapse because you can't handle the pressure of the numerous people that are involved in that system.

Inasmuch as cryptocurrencies are concerned, it is only when it is experiencing increase in the number of individuals that are interested in acquiring it that can make the system have a smooth direction towards it's adoption because when a high number of masses are involved, you know what it means as the voice of the masses are meant to be respected and obeyed so I don't see anything wrong with cryptocurrencies gaining more recognition or causing congestion in the system as those are the steps that will solidify the system and make it easy to be adopted by all.

OP you see fear can never really be eradicated from the life of humans no matter how they try hard to eliminate fear in their life. Have you ever wondered why the eyes blinks? Is as a result of fear because it knows that it is a sensitive part of the human body so if anything peradventurely touches it so hard, it might go blind. What am trying to say to an extent is that we all are human, blood runs through our veins so there is really this mortal feelings we have within our self and there is no way we can live without fear.

Sometimes, you don't have to blame people that finds it hard to embrace new ideas or innovation because if you have really tried something new and it failed you then you will understand the reason why some people are so adamant to venture into something that is new to the environment, and another factor that causes fear again is falling into numerous fraudulent individuals. If someone tries something new that they were persuaded to join and at the end of the day they got scammed, it will be difficult to convince such a person when the genuine one comes up because they will still entertain that fear of not running into the wrong hands.

Further more, people values results before they can be convinced because you can't be preaching for people to venture into something new when you the preacher has nothing to show for in other to convince people to also do what you do so I don't give blame to people that want to see results before they can be convinced to join something new to them.

Though fear has always been the greatest enemy of human because man would have done more exploits if not for the spirit of fear because often times, when we want to try something new, we come up with the fear that what if we fail while trying to create something new. And again people are always afraid of what the society would tell them if they try and fail so sometimes if we must achieve some certain things in life, we should pay less attention to what the society would say if things doesn't work out the way we expected.

So far as life is concerned, people no matter how wealthy they are never gets enough of what they need as they keep on chasing for more money despite the huge amount of money they've made in their lifetime. It marvels me how despite all the wealthy and most influencial people in the world, no body had been able to gather the whole money on earth. I'm not against anyone that has acquired so much money and wealth but my concern is that no matter how much money you've made in your lifetime, everyone will leave this planet earth someday so why not give out some money to charity and also make provisions for platforms that will bring job opportunities to the youths and the society at large rather than just answering a wealthy man when you've not made any good step towards human capacity development. 

In summary, no body gets enough of money because sometimes in life, we normally say if I get a certain amount of money, we will be contented and not look for money again but as soon as we reach such a level, our demand to acquire more money increases, so human wants are unlimited.

OP all what you've said is really what is happening in the lives of people and I use myself as a practical example, after I graduated from the university, I got a job and my parents had nothing tangible doing in other to earn a stable income so as I started working, I began to attend to the needs and demands of my family depriving myself of some personal life just to satisfy my family needs, i payed their debts and also provided food for them and my basic salary wasn't really enough for me to Carter for my family and also make some savings, so since i kept doing everything for them, they became lazy always waiting for the month to end so that they can demand money from me, the funny part was that when i lost the Job, all of them started asking me what i did with the salary i earned over the years, to my greatest shock I was astonished, like this people literally know how much i earn and they know the responsibility I've been involved in since i got the Job. I was so angry and bitter by that question they asked me so I made up my mind never to support them anymore when I get I new Job, but my people no matter anything, family is family as you can't really sideline them without giving them attention when you have the opportunity, so when I got a new Job, I still Carter for them but not with the kind of energy I showed during my first job as I was not attending to all their needs, I was doing some and saving money for myself.
So, it really isn't easy to completely neglect ones family when things are going well with you even if they didn't show concern to you when things were going tough for you.

There's still a lot of game to be played but the performance of Manchester City is not improving but going on a downturn. Football is all about the team sports.
And when Manchester City is not able to save a 2 goals lead in it's own home against a team like Crystal Palace, no miracles are coming if there's not a change.
I'm not quite a fan of Manchester City as in modern times, they were never as strong till arabs bought every good players, yet they have some capable individual players and an excellent coach, Pep Guardiola, that I respect. I'd be happy to see old school teams like Arsenal and Liverpool win the league this time.
It looks like Arsenal and Liverpool will continue to dominate this season if no other team can be as consistent as them until the end of the season. Because the two teams now look increasingly fierce in terms of competition, there will be quite a tough and thrilling match this week at Liverpool's home ground. The Liverpool vs Arsenal match this week looks like it will be difficult to predict because both of them will definitely use their respective abilities to be in first place after the match is over. Meanwhile for Manchester City, it looks like they have to make several changes in order to restore their true performance this season.
I think you are forgetting Aston Villa who has been impressive since the start of the season. Don't write them off, they won both Manchester City and Arsenal within two weeks and you think they are not dangerous or to be considered as a contender for the league? As for Manchester City they will rediscover their form very soon am sure of this.

With the kind of impressions that Aston Villa have created so far in the premier league, they may really be up to something because they have actually been so consistent in their form so if anyone between Liverpool and Arsenal drops points now Aston villa might take their place and do something surprising. Of a truth they never saw Aston Villa coming because they were just winning matches without any clubs being aware of their performance so that was when they started gaining recognition.
746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: December 20, 2023, 09:17:48 PM
As the gambling industry is evolving, I think innovations would have kicked in that can make someone create a career from gambling. I do not know how this can be achieved but I feel it is possible.

Making gambling a full time job might be seen as risky but I still feel one can make gambling full time job and a career.

What do you all think?
In this world there are only a few percent of gamblers who are able to build their wealth from gambling, this happens because they have good abilities and are also able to maintain a balance between their wins and their losses.  i once met an active casino player, he only played casino every day, he would stop for a few hours if when he played slots, he lost 3 times in a row, that was his trick and it was proven that it could increase his gambling winning percentage. his every day is quite high, from him i learned about how patience can make someone profitable and win, he said good timing is the key to being lucky in gambling.
Listen, even that few percent you are talking about is just a mirage because there is absolutely no person that gambles comfortably with all assuraty of winning and making it a means of living. I believe gambler that do this are already develop in their real life career and are already making millions of dollars just like the way drake the musician and other celebrity gambler are going with their gambling hobby.

For sure the percentage of gamblers that records more winning than losses are very minimal and are also patient gamblers because when they play and lose they will wait for some time or even the next day before they continue but some desperate gamblers will continue till they've exhausted all their money but notwithstanding, it doesn't really mean they can make gambling their career as there are other works or jobs they do that fetch them reasonable amount of money then they use gambling as fun and they start recording more winning than losses.

Milan upcoming opponent for play off stages is Rennes and most people considers Milan will get easy win from Rennes because on the paper and squad quality Milan is more better than Rennes especially at Ligue 1 Rennes performing poorly because from 16 matches Rennes only able to gets 3 wins but their performance during group stages isn't too bad because Rennes can able to gets 4 wins from 6 matches but they have to finish as runner up position because in the last match Rennes was lose from Villarreal and Rennes cannot be underestimate

AC Milan match against Rennes will really be an easy win for AC Milan do doubt because in all ramifications, AC Milan are way better than Rennes and they've got more tactical and experienced players than them so absolutely AC Milan will win. AC Milan have had more European competition knowledge than Rennes if not that they didn't Perform too well in the Champions league they would have gone far in the Champions league but notwithstanding, AC Milan coming to the Europa is a way to suppress some of the clubs that have already been in the Europa league.

Every game will be boring. Inter Milan vs Atletico is probably the best draw this round.
You cannot say every game will be boring, this is the CL RO16 and the unexpected can happen, the teams that people have written off might cause some upsets and make the game tougher and more difficult for the bigger teams. Every match in the CL is tough, especially in the knockout stages. Of course the QF would be more interesting, but i feel there is going to be at least one upset in this RO16 stage, and i am looking forward to all the games.

I agree with you because this is UCL as every team will want to try their possible best to make a difference in the UCL and all these clubs that are being underrated as small clubs can perform Wonders just as a mediocre club like Copenhagen held Bayern Munich to a draw during their group stage matches so there might actually be a surprise in this knockout stages because the teams we least expected to qualify to the next round might actually be the ones to qualify so anything can happen.
750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 19, 2023, 09:44:49 PM

The group stage of the UEFA Champions League competition is over and Europe's biggest club competition will make a return in February next year which will give Real Madrid enough time to fight for the top spot of the Spanish La Liga. Girona has surprisingly been the most consistent team in the league this season even when they don't have a much quality players like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and are very determined to finish the season with the Spanish La Liga title.

Real Madrid's only problem since the start of the season is the fact that they failed to sign a recognized top striker last summer after their former captain Karim Benzema left the club but with the formation that's been adopted by the club manager Carlo Ancelotti, I'm very optimistic that the Spanish giants are gonna reclaim top spot before February that the UEFA Champions League competition will return. Jude Bellingham who has been the club's most important player since the start of the season isn't an injury prone player and doesn't look like who's going to suffer fatique anytime soon. By the time the UCL returns next year, the favourites to win the Spanish La Liga title might be narrowed down to two or at maximum three clubs and I'm very optimistic that Real Madrid will be one of them.
Yes, Real Madrid are one team that will be wanting to secure the league this season and yes, they are having a difficult time this season due to injuries but with the break from the UCL it’ll give them a good run for the league title and help them secure their spot well on top of the league, yes these  Girona is one team trailing them but I think they won’t have the strength to match Real Madrid especially in terms of quality players and squad depth.

Though Real Madrid have been so resilient in their performance so far but I don't think they may be able to win the la Liga this season reason being that they're competing in the Champions league and also their domestic league so a time will come when fatigue may start affecting most of their players due to playing too many matches just within a few interval of days so at that time they will start dropping in form thereby giving other title contenders the opportunity to overtake them and possibly win the la Liga title.

Inter Milan is in its best performance after several clubs such as Napoli seemed difficult to defend last season's title. It seems that this season is Inter Milan's opportunity to win in every match in order to win the Scudetto easily, but Inter Milan is aware that they are still in the shadow of Juventus who  most likely to tackle him in the future, Juventus' performance is highly questionable, Juventus has the potential to be a candidate to win the scudetto this season, even though their concentration is often lost in several important matches, this could be a big threat to Inter Milan this season.
Inter Milan is no doubt in a very good form that is making them looking like the best in Italy this season. I don't think they will drop form anytime soon because they look like they have gat a very big dream to achieve this season, even in the UCL their performance too still remains good and I think they will really go a long way in the UCL this season.

With the current force of Inter Milan now, I don't think they will give up the title race so easily. Moreover it is believed that most of their key players are still very much available to play their upcoming matches so definitely their squad this season is Superb and with the fact that they've given their top contender Juventus a gap of 4 points will enable them to play and win more matches in other to still continue with the lead.

It is believed that teachers and parents play a vital role in the upbringing of a child therefore they ought to be treated with respect by the children, it is just very unfortunate how children insult teachers and parents who spent so much time and energy to develop the intellectual ability of the child. Though the rate of stubbornness by Children to their parents and teachers just increase in this modern day as in the old days it wasn't at this high rate, children listen to their parents and teachers and they were taught thoroughly on how to respect not only their parent and teachers but to the society at large more especially their elders.

Yes, it looks like Tuchel has fixed everything by looking in the mirror and making the failure against Frankfurt in the previous few games a pretty valuable lesson. On the other hand if only if at that time Bayern Munich had not slipped I think the difference in their points difference with Leverkusen now would not be too far away, maybe only one point difference, but whatever it is that should happen.

Leverkusen is still an  unbeaten team so far except for the draw, it is not easy to be able to fight so far in maintaining performance and consistency in the midst of intense competition, but Leverkusen can do it and even they make a team like Bayern Munich troublesome. Obviously, Harry Kane is no doubt, I admit that he is one of Bayern Munich's best purchases, honestly I can't imagine if Tottenham didn't agree to his departure clause then maybe now Bayern Munich will be further behind Leverkusen.
Thats right, if Harry Kane hadnt come, they wouldnt be in second place now, maybe even fifth or worse. So without Harry Kane there would be 20 goals less, Bayern have currently scored 47 goals in total. Against stuttgart, a young player from Munich was often seen in good situations, it is about Aleksandar Pavlovic. He give the pass for MJ Kim to the goal, a strong performance at the age of 19. But I still dont think coach Tuchel is so good as Nagelsmann, they cant make up for that mistake.

You see Bayern Munich is a made club that can perform well in the absence of any player so saying that Bayern wouldn't have been in the second position if not for Harry Kane is not so, what you will first look at was Bayern Munich performance before Harry Kane arrived at the club like were they not doing well? Of course Bayern Munich was doing perfectly fine before the arrival of Harry Kane. Bayern Munich is just almost like Manchester city because these two clubs can do without any player no matter how important the player is.

Expecting an easy win as well, but it didn't turn out that way. I've to give credit to Man United's goalkeeper Onana for keeping them to a draw. The game was hard to watch, a dreadful match between two struggling sides on the day. Despite having plenty of chances, Liverpool couldn't secure the win, resulting in a 0-0 draw against Man United at Anfield. It's not the result Liverpool wanted, but they'll move forward to the next game against the Hammers.
Liverpool next game is Arsenal and Manchester United facing Westham United next. Liverpool was denied winning due to the heavy defendlines formed this season. The 0-0 scoresheet is big motivation for Manchester United to do better in coming games. André Onana deserves some flowers because Liverpool did their best to score but couldn't maintain this level of football. There was no hope for the Red Devils until Onana begins to make brilliant saves that aided Manchester United draw points at the end of the game.

Manchester united may not be in solid form but I commend their efforts in their last game against Liverpool because it wasn't really easy for united to hold Liverpool to draw in that match as Liverpool tried their possible best to secure a win in that game but Manchester United were so determined not to lose that match so Manchester United team work in that game is applaudable, should they continue in same spirit in their next match then they will win their opponent Westham united.

According All football, this is the knockout stage draws.
This draws us a bit fair because almost all teams were paired well, although some teams were lucky to have weak opponents that they are almost sure of their qualifying to the next round.

Arsenal might go far this season because their opponents are not too strong to stop their form even though almost half of the players did not have enough Champions League experience.

For me, apart from Copenhagen match against Manchester city all other matches are very though though I also consider Porto 🆚 Arsenal, PSV 🆚 Dortmund as matches that are not too competitive. Although, Real Madrid will surely win Leipzig then Bayern Munich will win Lazio. Napoli 🆚 Barcelona will be a strong match because with the current form of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, I think this match between Napoli and Barcelona will not be easy and considering that Napoli is playing at home will make them to be more confident and play better.

Probably you may still have something to explain, or to explain more about what you are talking about.

If you post on local board, you have reveal your country already. As a Nigerian, we encourage Nigerians to post on local board. Although, not necessary if the person do not want to reveal his country.
Legend, I know posting on local board automatically identify one as a member of that particular country in this forum but what I mean is when posting in general board, there are people that normally include the name of the country which I feel it isn't really necessary to include the name of one's country when making posts on the general board like for instance when someone is giving opinion to a post in the general board then they say "in my country Nigeria'' so definitely one can just say in my country without saying the name but if we think it's necessary to some extent then you can still put me through.

I think op is referencing to a general discussion that has been already carried out in this topic of mine here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5477854.msg63323023#msg63323023

Even if one makes predictions without being prepared for what will come out from their prediction then they are likely to face some problems because we predict things base on what is obtainable now with the hope that it will still continue in that nature in the future so peradventure, if it doesn't work out the way we expected and their is no preparation for it when it doesn't work the way we forecast then it may lead to failure so it is Important that as we are making speculation we also prepare for whatever outcome it turns into.

Sevilla is the most successful team in the Europa League and of course its failure to compete is disappointment for some football fans because in the Europa League Sevilla can provide really interesting surprise.
But this is football, where every season there is always new team or in other words another team that can dominate every existing competition, so making just one team the favorite is not the right idea.
We must be able to assess the development of all teams in each season and in each competition there will be the strongest to become champion candidates.
We have to really research how each team is developing in all the matches they participate in because we shouldn't make one team favorite just based on the hype it generates, like Liverpool.
But personally, I would be more inclined to support Leverkusen development this season because they are playing well not only in the Europa League but also in the Bundesliga, there is big chance of Leverkusen getting two titles.

Leverkusen managed to win the match and they got very landslide 5 - 1 victory over Molde.
Due to this victory, everyone felt proud of their favorite team Leverkusen and of course there was truly proud smile on Xabi Alonso face as the coach.

Maybe Sevilla could be called the king of the Europa League trophy, but in fact they failed to qualify for the Champions League and did not enter the Europa League. Sevilla did not show a solid performance, apart from being pragmatic. In fact, they didn't win a single match during the Group B phase of the Champions League. even though, Arsenal can be said to be the only strong team in group B. However, the fact is that Sevilla failed miserably and maybe it would be better for them to focus more on their Domestic League.

Sevilla's performance this season is nothing to write home about both in their domestic league and in the Champions league so it's better that they didn't even move to Europa with such a bad performance so their being out of the European competition isn't really a surprise to me but notwithstanding, they need to improve in their play because if not for anything, Sevilla is among the big top teams in Spain so for them to be so poor in their form this season is really worrisome.

I already suspected that many people had lost their bets on the Juventus and Genoa match, because everyone would have believed in Juventus winning but the score ended in a draw for the two teams, to be honest, this was very disappointing for many people, especially those who held bets for Juventus because they were all gone. After placing a bet on Juventus who are actually in bad shape this week, no one expected this to happen..

In my opinion, this draw will be detrimental to Juventus because they are chasing points with Inter Milan. If the game is like this, it will be difficult for Juventus to catch Inter Milan's points, plus Inter Milan will host SS. LAZIO is currently performing badly, in its last few matches, it will definitely be very easy for Inter Milan to get points in these matches. If Inter Milan wins the match against LAZIO then the gap between Juventus and Inter Milan will widen.
It’s surprising Juventus were held to a draw by Genoa; this kind of result is one that’ll not just affect the team but also the punters out there who would have put majority of money on Juventus winning this. It’s quite crazy these big teams doesn’t know how much most persons lose when they fail to turn up and get the win. Now to how it affects the team, it’ll be a big drawback in their progress to secure the league title as it’ll give Inter Milan some more space to increase their lead when they get a win tomorrow.

 If Juventus keep being like this, I think it’ll be quite difficult for them to catch up with Inter Milan, Lazio will be no match for Inter as they’re not in a good shape to give headache to this Inter Milan side although yes it’s a big match but I think Inter will have the edge in this match and increase the points gap between her and Juventus.

Juventus had the opportunity to still maintain a good stand in the chase for the serie A title but they misused their chances in the match against Genoa and this might not really go down well with them as Inter Milan is not even willing to drop form at this particular time of the league so giving Juventus some gaps in the table may just be a way of handing Inter Milan the league trophy so easily so Juventus would have won Genoa In order to still continue their campaign for the serie A title but initially now their fate may lie in the performance of Inter Milan in their upcoming matches.
