Indeed, this news is quite surprising because after all, Pochettino is also still able and managed to make Chelsea get a Conference League ticket. Although it is still far to be able to finish in the topfour but at least, Pochettino still has a good effort and it was proven at the end of theseason that Pochettino also managed to improve the quality of Chelsea, and Pochettino also managed to make Chelsea finish in the top six.
The coach had a dinner with Chelsea's owner Boehly but they maybe disagreed in plans for the summer transfer and next season, though their separation after that dinner and serious talk is nothing to be surprised. If Boehly did not see Pochettino had acceptable management for Chelsea in this season, he would sack Pochettino without organizing that dinner and talk about future with the coach.
The news came as a shock and I'm beginning to think Todd is too slow in his sense of reasoning, we told him to sack Poch earlier but He literally never yielded to it and now when we were beginning to accept him, boom Poch is gone though I still wonder what was the disagreement maybe it's from the summer transfer just like Thomas Tuchel happened.

Quote
Because anyway, if we compare it with Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham I think Pochettino is still better because he is able to rise even though the pressure he has to face is so heavy and certainly not easy.
This decision looks to be not a safe and wise decision from Boehly because Pochettino is not too seriously fighting against club owners like Mourinho and Conte, and he can provide quality in management and stability in performances for Chelsea. With a new coach, like rumor is De Zebri, I still see risk for success in next season for Chelsea. Pochettino at least has enough experienced with big clubs from Premier League to Lique 1 and even had experience to run for Premier League title and went far in Champions League.
Todd is a big idiot if he really go for a mid coach to be frank we have tried it out and it failed awfully, what the hell do he see with those associated with Brighton, though I think Hansi Flink is also a consideration and I will prefer him to the others on the list now.

Though there have not really been much hot topic while also  the Mixers banned has affected the traffic here, there are other hot topics Aside from the ETFs and Ordinals like the final Craig Weight drama and the US government fight against Mixers/privacy.

In as much as I'm disappointed also about the Mixers banned I think Bitcointalk may have suffered fate somehow similar to what we have see others suffered from the US government against Mixers and I guessed  this may be among the reason Theymos had to banned it since Bitcointalk as always been a privacy inclined platform and even him also.

Though altcoinstalks may not have suffered anything from the US government, this maybe different case if it was Bitcointalk since it's much bigger and influencial and also because of it rich history.
83  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Do Airdrop tel buy bitcon on: May 21, 2024, 07:22:08 PM
One thing about airdrops is that you are not certain of which one will yield profit. I remember when I was chasing for airdrops. I took part in so many airdrops, but I didn't make a single cent from them. I wasted my precious time and data chasing for airdrops. I wish I had used that energy to start learning about bitcoin at that time. I would have gained good knowledge about bitcoin early and would have accumulated most of my bitcoin at a very low price. You can make a profit from airdrops when you farm a token, and you need a lot of money before you can make a good profit from farming. I will not advise a newbie to start chasing for airdrops so that the newbie will not get distracted from learning and gaining knowledge about bitcoin. Since Notcoin managed to give some people money, you will see so many airdrops around with a promise to perform like Notcoin just to get people to use their platforms. People should be careful about the type of airdrops they engage themselves with so that they will not click on a phishing link that could grant scammers access to their bitcoin wallets.
This is true, Airdrop and bounties became really disappointing but those who usually get the good ones usually ends with the smile.

With the knowledge we have gotten in bitcointalk so far the chances of falling for a scam Airdrop is not as big as before literally, there are things we see that makes us know something it's a clear scam and this also is different from participating in ICO which more likely may gives little or nothing.

Also remember the risk wey dey Airdrop, use separate wallet for Airdrop, observe well before you do anyone bcos some na waste of time.
Na d koko be dat. I don mention dis same thing about using different wallets/burner for airdrops. Creating wallets nor dey take pass 3 to 5 minutes. So, make we nor go dey think sey e dey take time. Again, make we dey always make sure to back owa wallet apps and write out owa seedphrases somewhere safe.
  This one na true if nor be laziness wetin go make man nor fit create separate wallet for Airdrop and other things and also nor write and keep their seed phrase/ private key for secure place. This one na cross way everyone wey wan get control of their money must carry.

About d airdrop thing, ICE fall many people hands, including me. Na just NOT wey bring back owa morale by making us smile to d bank. We nor know which other ones go pay us, not even Tapswap. Airdrop na game of chance. NOTcoin pay me too.
84  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin adoption can grow faster if it is used more as digital cash for payment on: May 21, 2024, 01:12:06 PM
The Nigeria government unfriendliness to cryptocurrencies doesn't affect crypto transactions, they are only fighting against centralise exchanges which shows how blinded they are by greed and ignorant.
The Nigerian government are against centralized crypto P2P transactions, they are not directly after centralized exchanges.
Oh yea this is what I wanted to say but just realised I didn't make it clearer like yours.

If more business people are willing to collect payments in Bitcoin, and more Bitcoin holders are willing to pay with Bitcoin, then the adoption will grow very fast. But these reasons that I mentioned are some of the disadvantages to the adoption as a digital cash for payments. An example is the Nigerian government's unfriendliness towards crypto transactions. What are your thoughts?
If we look into the Nigerian government issue well, e no be crypto dem dey against perse at least for now. Wetin dem dey do na on P2P transactions against naira, so whether na btc oo , tether oo , Ethereum oo etc, dem deactivate such transactions from exchange wey be the platform for bulk selling or exchange of dollar and dem erroneously believe say e dey make Naira fall but dem no sabi wetin make dollar dey fall na because the demand for dollar dey high from every corner. Although e dey affect people wey dey easily move to and fro exchange but other means still dey to transact on P2P.
See people never realise say dis p2p shut down on foreign exchange by our government nor go fit stop us, we nor go ignore the stress from moving from one exchange to another but truth still remain say we go still survive, adoption go still raise, one easy proof be say how many be reason say them go fit moved on from Binance if nor be this p2p issues, in the end we go always dey move

In addition to what Coyster as said earlier you can earn by mining, this would require of you to get an ASIC machine which are built for this job but before venturing into this you have to consider how profitable it is to mine in your region .
The Op is a beginner into the crypto world and as such mining might look like a big task for them so I suppose going with @Coyster's suggestion would be preferred since it's just a matter of rendering services.
True but that doesn't mean it is not part of the ways to earn cryptocurrency and bitcoin and another thing is that Op can learn if it's feasible for him after all everyone was not born with the knowledge they have

87  Other / Off-topic / Always consider security features of any device you're getting on: May 20, 2024, 10:33:30 PM
When we're trying to get a new device what are the main features we do check about the device, I guess majority usually focus on the processor, ram and rom, which are strong considerations for picka good device but I will like to bring something to our notice, which is that as a bitcoiner or one that's into crypto space we should also consider features relating to security about such devices like

  • How long will the manufacturers continue to produce security updates
  • How well those the device improve your privacy and security online

This are some questions we ought to ask before thinking if such device is a good buy especially when you plan to store some of your coins in such device in other to have better edge against malicious attacks.

I recently read a news about :
Oversecured, a business that scans mobile apps for security issues, says it has identified more than two dozen vulnerabilities over the past few years affecting Android apps from smartphone maker Xiaomi and Google's Android Open Source Project (AOSP).

Twenty of the vulnerabilities, we're told, were reported a year ago to Xiaomi. A Xiaomi spokesperson told The Register it had closed the bugs: "Protecting the data security and privacy of our users is the top priority. Xiaomi has remediated all vulnerabilities reported by the Oversecured team and has ensured that no user is exposed to risk posed by these vulnerabilities. Users are always advised to update their devices to the latest version of software which offers security updates."

Six vulnerabilities associated with Google's AOSP code – including two affecting its Pixel devices – are said to have been already addressed by the Chocolate Factory.

It's should be noted that while Android is an Open source Operating system some of these companies do change somethings which resulted to cause a downside on the security, which may take sometime to be identified since majority may not prioritise security features of this device and also this is why you should not ignore security updates on your devices.

Bitcoin ETF is nothing that special that is worth a thread but if you feel like having a thread for it, it should be better than how your post is. see an example from this future bitcoin ETF topic

Previously, all fans believed that this was Arsenal's chance to win the title this season, but at that time Arsenal also had to focus on the Champions League match and ultimately had to lose points in the match against Aston Villa.
Actually Arsenal was not focusing on the Champions league, the reason they failed to win the league was because they were inconsistent at some point in the league which was late last year and how these three teams Liverpool, man City and Arsenal were going during the league season shows Liverpool were title favourite but they end up bottling up the league with a disappointing season ending performance while at that time Arsenal as already been written off but we can say Arsenal did better than their last season because of the consistency they showed during 2024 session of this concluded season.

Any team who really wants to win the league now must be aware that in order to out perform Man City they need to be consistent throughout the whole season.
I don’t believe you for saying that Arsenal are inconsistent this season, in fact, they are the most consistent team in the league, they are just unlucky as they lost to Aston Villa in their match week 33 and that is the main reason why Arsenal lost the title to Manchester City because Manchester City is very good at the end of every season.

On Champions League case, they Arsenal are also willing to go far in the Champions League, but Bayern Munich showed experience and eliminated them with just one goal difference, but the whole world know that Arsenal is trying now and Arteta will soon bring glory back to Emirate.
We all will agree that Arsenal really did well since January till now but around late last year we will also agree that they were inconsistent which cost them the league, if they were actually consistent around that time what will the week 33lost to Aston villa mean to them will be minimal because they would have still  be topping the league till season end by which they will become league winners.

Hooe you get what I meant now?

92  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin adoption can grow faster if it is used more as digital cash for payment on: May 20, 2024, 05:22:21 PM
The Nigeria government unfriendliness to cryptocurrencies doesn't affect crypto transactions, they are only fighting against centralise exchanges which shows how blinded they are by greed and ignorant.

People have various views of bitcoin which include as a means of payment, a store of value, an edge against inflation and others, which they can backup with prove base past occurrence but all these are just still part of  Bitcoin. They're still increasing Bitcoin adoption.

-snip-...The matter of government bans and strict regulations have also made Bitcoin not to be used as digital cash, also the network congestions that we something experience when the mempool is congested is discouragement because of the high fees.
The matter of government doesn't really affect Bitcoiners for using bitcoin as a means of payment instead it's the scalability issue which became worst after Ordinals though Mempool is not really congested as at now and we can also use the Lightening network for a lower fee for small transactions.

Maybe true but it all depends on the country to accept it as a means for payment before it can be used which is quite impossible currently.
This is not really true, its rather base on individual preference, here In Nigeria the government is not really in support of cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin base on how they're acting but if  two Nigerians can come to an agreement to use it as a means of payment then it can be used.

There have thread on our LB were members post about going to shops were bitcoin are accepted for payment

Based on the data they provided, they are doing well, binary options like platforms may not get the nods of the majority of gamblers, but there is still a market for this platform we have seen predictive markets like Futuur trying their way on the industry, the gambling industry is a huge market, and so is the binary options it's really on the marketing that could do the trick for a platform like this, as long as they are transparent and they listen to the request of their community then they are good to go, lets see how it goes after a few more months.
Yes Transparency is the core part of growth, if they follow up with being transparent in Bitcointalk soon they will gain full trust here which will really be helpful being among the top and continuously having many using their platform and becoming an household name here.
Transparency results to good reputation. And yes, not a huge market for binary options here but there are only few competitors, the fact that they paid already a huge sum of money from the platform, that clearly says they are making good profit from this game. Actually, that will just continue to grow and they can also expand their platform to make it like a one stop shop, maybe add more providers on games and sports betting as well while still keeping their brand.

Anyone can check the transparency of the platform by logging in to their account or signing up and checking the stat and the clickable hash. So far, there has never been a time when they lacked players in every session; the game is addictive, and you can play for hours here as long as you have funds.
True and they're already building a brand here, with time in continously doing right they will become well here probably even before this year ending though this depends on their marketing strategy but as it is going now, it seems inevitable they will have become a trusted house here before year ending.

95  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: CEX P2P under Governments Attack, let's Embrace DEX P2P on: May 20, 2024, 12:47:09 PM
That post was done when some other centralized exchanges were still there and after the update some like KuCoin were filtered out. Maybe it is now taking a long time again that they updated it and most of the DEX then have moved to become CEX.
The decentralized exchanges did not become centralized exchanges, they are centralized before. If they call themselves decentralized exchanges, make research yourself to know if it is true or not true. Just like I have said before, the site is KYCnotme, it is about exchanges that needs no KYC to access. If Kucoin did not make their customers to get verified, the exchange will still be there but with average rating.
True Non-kyc exchanges don't necessarily needs to be DEX, at that time Kucoin required KYC for p2p around 1Btc and above, if I remember correctly.

I guess you people that have banning of P2P exchanges that are centralized in mind are from Nigeria. What most countries want is KYC. If you abide to the laws and policies of the country and tell your customers to do KYC, you will have no problem with the government if cryptocurrencies are legal in your country. But Nigeria is different as the government do not understand how to manage the economy. Nigeria is one of the worst country that do not understand the impact of P2P and how it can help them to generate income.

Exactly, the other country government have actually thought of a way out of getting crypto traders under control and most of this countries government had to settle for centralized exchanges must make sure their customers under go compulsory KYC verification and then if they regulate them they will be able to get a little information of the country trades and also tax them example is India. When Nigeria government invited had did had talks with binance Africa officials I thought this was going to be their way out too, but they went the other way
Actually they're blinded because of their greed from the fact that they're hoping to able to fine these exchanges especially binance which they actually attempted to fine $10billion https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-68762553

We don see people wey dey cash out welll from them well well especially from the latest one wey be Not  coin, people cash out well from m and other recent one like Ice and the others.

My advice be say make we nor dull put for Airdrop matter, do m wen the money come buy bitcon, nor go dey HODL Airdrop coins bcos most times the developers na to make money na concern them and so once the coin don dey listed they go sell wey them still cash out. Just take your cash out tel invest in bitcon so that go fit quickly reach your accumilation goal.

Also remember the risk wey dey Airdrop, use separate wallet for Airdrop, observe well before you do anyone bcos some na waste of time.

Well more than 50% of gamblers always gamble because they don’t know much the cash going to last them so they go on gambling word and it get use to them, they even get addicted and more of their money go in, all because they are thinking they don’t have sufficient cash for their living and they go into gambling, I seen different kinds of people gambling because they don’t have enough money, but I don’t really think it a good idea.
That's not a good idea, but we also have to see that those who don't have money will definitely not gamble continuously unless they just play for free to get lucky there, because those who gamble every day are definitely people who have money. and they have even prepared special money for that. So even if they are addicted because they gamble very often, they won't experience any difficulties because they have set aside money specifically for this so it doesn't have any impact on their own lives.

I agree with you. Without money gambling is not possible. More precisely possible, but this kind of game will not allow you to feel the bright emotions as when playing for money.

Each of us chooses entertainment that he likes and most of these entertainments require money, whether it is a meeting with friends in a bar, traveling with a favorite woman or gambling. Those who don't have money find simpler entertainment like walking, watching TV, yoga, etc.
I also agree with you and think the rich/average will definitely gamble more than the poor and while also having more tendency of becoming more addicted than the poor without realising earlier, simply because the rich/average may usually see someone to lend them money even with interest while the chances of someone lending to a poor man/woman is lower, for there's no surety if they can pay back
