I do not think the victory over brighton can give the chelsea lads any spark or ginger or vibes to defeat fulham on saturday. They played a rotated Brighton side in the carabao cup. In the EPL this weekend, Chelsea will play a full strenght Fulham side and they must aim to score atleast 2 goals if they want to defeat fulham because the fulham team will always score a goal or 2
I know Chelsea have started this season in the worst possible way, though it is quite similar to how they played last season, nothing seems to be working for them, they have had a couple of managers in the last year or so, but no difference in terms of results. Having said that, they absolutely needed the win they got against Brighton in the Carabao cup, it does not matter if Brighton played their first team or not, it just matters to Chelsea that they can finally score a goal after a long time and get a win as well. Fulham will definitely be a tougher test because this time it is a Premier league game, but i think Chelsea have to build on their success in mid-week, if they do so they might just be able to change their fortunes this season.

From all the comments I'm seeing i don't think I will use my current wallet for future storage of my coins and tokens because I did another of Airdrops bac when I was still in high-school, I literally know little about crypto then. Your comments are helpful guys both for me and OP
What wallet are you currently using to store your coins/tokens? Is it open source, is it non-custodial and how reputable is the wallet. I can't really recommend anything for you right now because i believe you are talking about tokens and Altcoins, and i only have interest in Bitcoin and that's all i buy/hodl. But mind you not to connect your wallet to any airdrop website, if you do that your wallet will be compromised and your coins will be stolen, also keep your seed phrase very safe if you have one, and if the wallet you're using didn't generate a seed phrase for you, move your coins to a non-custodial wallet.

I wonder how they will perform when they get to play against Liverpool or Man city or Arsenal or even Man united.
Chelsea do not have to look too far ahead, they actually don't have to worry about the big teams for now, what matters is the next game and they have to stop losing games that they have a high probability of winning. The most important thing for Chelsea to do now is to build on their Carabao cup victory, they have to take advantage of the momentum and beat Fulham on Monday, if they do that, it is two wins in a row, and from there they could get the confidence they really need to bring their season to life.

This thread is evidence that Cubersecurity board needed as fast as possible. People loosing funds without knowledge.
A cybersecurity board would not stop people from making mistakes that would cost them their funds, just the same way the extant trading board hasn't stopped people from losing money through trading. A cybersecurity board might be good for the forum, but mind you that all of the necessary cybersecurity tips are being discussed all over the forum, in different boards and users who want to learn about them would do so without a dedicated cybersecurity board.

Exactly! If Napoli doesn't appreciate him, it might be best for Osimhen to leave for a club where he feels valued. Recent incidents at Napoli indicate a strain in the relationship between Victor Osimhen and the club. Other teams might take advantage of this situation to attract the striker, and Real Madrid could be the rightful place for him.
I don't know what whoever handles Napoli's social media handles was thinking when they posted those videos, i mean, we're talking about their best player here, the one who led them to the title last season, the same title they hadn't won for over three decades, it is completely ridiculous, and i can only imagine how furious Osimhen would be right now. The crazy thing is that, Napoli are yet to officially apologize to Victor Osimhen, and i am shocked to say the least.

Osimhen has not talked about leaving, but if this unfair treatment continues, he might be forced to leave for another team, and he has the quality to play for any club in the world and perform exceptionally well.

Op your post no dey easy to understand at all, if na Bitcoin network you been dey talk about, mind you say na nodes dey validate transactions, na the miners come they confirm am. There is also nothing such as a voting system, for Bitcoin network miners they compete amongst themselves to mine a block, them they compete using their computational power, and any miner wey win go mine that particular block.
This has higher chances to occur on Blockchain using PoW mechanism, it has lower chances to work on PoS
Pos dey centralized, and you fit talk say coins wey dey use POS algorithm dey centralized. POW make sense well well, and e dey decentralized, na why Bitcoin dey use this algorithm and would never change or move to another one.
Can any altcoin which fall victim of such hack be trustworthy to you ?
51% attack aside, quite a lot of altcoins no dey trustworthy and they were only created to make their owners rich, na why people dey call altcoins pump and dump scheme, and na true.

While the biggest news of the night is Newcastle win against Manchester City!
City are once again eliminated from the Carabao cup, Pep already said before the game that he would not be prioritizing the Carabao cup this season, because they have such a small squad and many injuries. I watched the match and City didn't play too badly, but they struggled to create chances. Now they can fully concentrate on defending the three titles they won last season, this weekend they face Wolves and in mid-week they travel to play RB Leipzig in the CL, and their next game after that is Arsenal, if City can win all three matches, they'll quickly forget about this defeat from Newcastle tonight.
808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 27, 2023, 06:20:50 PM
I think the fact that there are so many injuries in Arsenal may only be related to an intense training program. The strength of the players may not be able to handle this during intense and challenging training. Maybe we shouldn't be too hard on the players. The same is true for Real Madrid. These injuries will be very annoying for Arsenal ahead of tough matches.
The reason why players get injured more often than not is because of the schedule, there are too many games and the players obviously feel this fatigue and it can get them injured. We've seen managers like Pep Guardiola and others complain about the schedule, it is even worse for big clubs like City and Real Madrid that have to compete in 3-4 competitions, and have the quality to go all the way, which inevitably means more games.

Well it is what it is anyway, and the players have to play, if there are injuries in the team, it gives a chance to those who are frequently on the bench, they can take the opportunity to prove themselves and fight for a starting place in the team.

Can someone plz  help us to report this fund stolen to authorities
I'm afraid the authorities cannot do anything to help you, the funds you have lost definitely means a lot to you from everything you've said, but it is not enough for authorities in your country to start an investigation on it. Take this as a lesson not to connect your wallet to any airdrop website, if you must do that, at least use a wallet that has no funds in it.
Haker twitter profile its verified thats why he trust him
Verified profiles don't mean anything, neither is it a reason for you trust the person. It is pretty easy to get verified these days and even if it was wasn't easy, don't just trust people when your funds/data are involved.

I know it’s not highly recommended to advertise yourself as a HODLer but I’m interested in getting a cool BTC flat rim. Does anyone have any recommendations on merch stores that are highly reputable/support the ecosystem as well? Thanks!
Spending Bitcoin doesn't mean you advertise yourself as a hodler, although it can definitely expose the amount of coins you have if you spend from an address that hodls a large amount of your coins. Thus do not reuse addresses, and if you want to use Bitcoin to make online payments, use a newly generated address and send coinjoined/mixed coins to it inorder for you to make the purchase, and afterwards don't use the address anymore.

I am trying to rank up the efforts of the Gunners (Arsenal) of their possibility to take the champions league with the way they are playing so far and I think that is doable. But one thing that the team most do is to remain consistent and increase their chances through their squad depth.

Another team is the Barcelona, the El-classico contender, in the spirit they started too.
Arsenal cannot win the CL on their return to the tournament after so many years away, i know that anything is possible in football, but this isn't going to happen. Arsenal would see it as an achievement to make it to the RO16, and if they can get to the QF, then they had a good season in the CL, i predict that Arsenal wouldn't get past the QF, that's if they make it there. Having said that, Barcelona as well cannot win the CL this season, the strong contenders for the CL title is City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

With the measures you have listed op, I think it could help you to accumulate more Bitcoin as people are always looking for discount in payment for services rendered. It just might work out fine for you mate.
It would definitely not be sustainable for many businesses, remember that people are not just sending you Bitcoins, they are purchasing goods from you, goods you bought with money, now they are getting those goods on a discount, meaning you are losing money, and if you want to convert some of those Bitcoins back to fiat, you also lose money again in fees. All of these when you can basically just accept only fiat for your goods and use that fiat to buy Bitcoins eventually.

Is it possible that there is a tag (some kind of like button or some kind of merit but not limited) to tell the discussion partner that I have read the reply and am not interested in continuing the discussion. Is that possible?
Theymos isn't going to implement it for a reason as trivial as this, and even if he does, users can still go ahead and ignore that option and never use it, that way you still don't know if the user decided to ignore your message or if they've actually read it or not. If it is something really, really, really serious, you might send the user (you're expecting a reply from) a PM, but if it is not, forget about the discussion.

Manchester United and Jadon Sancho are yet trying to resolve their issues. Sancho has two options either apologize or consider leaving the club.
I have a problem with Erik Ten Hag publicly throwing his players under the bus and acting all tough, it would have been different if he was all that successful and winning games left, right and center for Manchester United, but he's not doing that, the team is struggling so much and he really needs to calm down on some of the attitude he got going on.

Jadon Sancho hasn't done anything wrong, the same way Ronaldo didn't, but he was humilated and forced out of the club by Ten Hag, I don't think Sancho is going to say sorry to him, neither do i think he should; he better move on in January.
815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: September 26, 2023, 09:36:40 AM
So that's my opinion and maybe we will still see Manchester City and Real Madrid having a rematch in the Champions League this season.
It could happen, the both teams have played against each other in the last two seasons in the CL, Real Madrid eliminated City on the road to winning the CL title in the 2021/2022 season, whilst City as well defeated Real Madrid on the road to winning the CL title in the 2022/2023 season, thus if they meet this season, it will be the third time in a row, and who knows, this time it could be in the final.

Having said that, City are strong favorites to defend their CL trophy, there are other strong contenders like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, but i think the time has come for City to dominate in Europe, and i am backing them to win the CL back to back.

I have started to see rumours regarding Manchester United and Oblak. It seems like they are interested in bringing him to the team. However I believe this is going to be very difficult for them. He has already a contract until 2028 with the team. He must have signed this contract newly which shows his loyalty to his team.
I don't believe this rumor, and the only reason why we're even discussing this is because Andre Onana has had a shaky/bad start to the season, if he started as well as people prolly expected, i don't think there would be any rumors regarding Manchester United being interested in Jan Oblak. Having said that, Jan Oblak seems to be very happy in Athletico Madrid, so he prolly wouldn't be interested in leaving, right now Manchester United have to give Onana all the support he needs so he can get back to his best, he kept a clean sheet against Burnley, so let us hope he picks up from there.
817  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where do the swapped tokens/coins go? on: September 25, 2023, 05:10:12 PM
I've been confused for a while on what happens to a particular cryptocurrency when swapped to another. I mean when a swap may be BNB to get usdt, what happens to the BNB?
When you swap/convert from one coin to another in an exchange, the exchange basically takes your coin and adds it to their reserve or pool and they also send you the coin you've swapped to from their reserves as well.
But another user can always swap another coin to BTC at anytime and receive the BTC, so where is the BTC coming from since it already in circulation (held by other holders)?
It is simply supply and demand. Exchanges for example hodl quite a lot of Bitcoins that are in circulation, so you can always buy Bitcoins from them, or convert from Bitcoin to other coins. There's also p2p trading, were individuals are ready to sell their Bitcoins to you for fiat, or they could as well want to swap their Bitcoins for the coins that you are offering.

Bitcoin is a dream to hold for every crypto hodler.
I am not particularly sure about it being a dream per se, i just think that there are too many people who erroneously think Bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme, and that's why they want to hold it, not because they value or understand what Bitcoin was created for.
Comparing with Fiat payment, little discount may be giving to any product or service render that will be paid with BTC. Just 1% discount can make some customers change their mind from Fiat payment to BTC.
Giving discounts isn't a bad idea imo, but only if it is sustainable for the growth of the business. The discount could last for prolly a few months after you start accepting Bitcoin, after which it should be discontinued.
That's weird! You can easily transfer $1 Million worth of Bitcoins for less than a couple of dollars, but you can't achieve something similar while using the traditional methods to transfer such amounts!
This is indeed correct, but i think OP is talking about micro/little payments that's usually done when making purchases in a small store or paying for a cheap service, if transaction fee rate is high it could be a problem to use Bitcoin for such payments.

I had lowered my expectations of Tottenham after Harry Kane's transfer to Bayern Munich, but they proved me wrong. It's as if the pressure has gone down after Harry Kane's transfer to Bayern Munich. They are playing very disciplined football this season. Postecoglu has undoubtedly played a big part in that. They could have beaten Arsenal in this game and they came very close.
I second that, Ange Postecoglou has really had a huge impact in how good Spurs have been this season, his style of play is very offensive and that has increased the confidence of his players, who go out in every game with the intention of winning. I think most of their recent coaches, especially with Conte, took the club some steps back with how they wanted to play, they were more focused on defending and only attacking via counter attacks, this reduced the confidence their players had in themselves, it is good for Spurs' fans right now, Ange is bringing back the well needed confidence and Spurs could achieve good things this season if they stay consistent.

It is reported that De Gea wants to continue playing in Europe, because he has just had his wedding and wants to stay in Spain. I think it makes sense that the former Man United goalkeeper refused to join an SPL club, reportedly Al Hilal is interested in recruiting him. But I doubt the reports linking him back to Old Trafford, I don't think it will happen.
De Gea is definitely not returning to Manchester United, not with how they treated him in his last few weeks at the club, and BTW Manchester United already replaced him with Onana and i don't think there is anyway back. Having said that, as for De Gea wanting to remain in Europe, i guess he wants to continue playing competitive football, but right now it doesn't seem like there is any top club in Europe that's interested in him, though things might change in January, when the transfer window opens again.
