Euphoria stage is one of the most difficult stage of a holder, the most difficult stage to determine when to sell but they get too much excitement and forget that excitements of the market isn't a forever thing to do, I can hold Bitcoin for long term even if when the market is crashing, it will not bother me but I can't do the same with altcoins, I'm sorry and not offend the altcoin guys but I will never hold any altcoins, the fastest way to make money in crypto with small capital are through altcoins and the fastest way to go broke in crypto is through altcoins too, so it's either you go bitcoin with less risk or go altcoins and get squeeze.


I have never been a fan and I wouldn't discourage, the market is highly saturated with shitcoins and that's why many of them keep coming here but if you check the number of people that make it through altcoins at few, it doesn't worth it but when you try to tell them, they will say haters must hate but no problem about that, we are here to observe another run after halving, they would be suprise that many of these altcoins will not make any run again.

I don't fancy TV screen of traders, most of them are doing show off with the blue and purple colours just to impress people that they are really making money mean while, they don't have anything to show in their portfolio at the very end of the day. Trading is not by big screen or curve monitor for impression, it is the amount of money you make at the end of the day that matters a lot. Imagine showing curvy big screen and then you have lots of losses on your trading history.

It's good to upgrade your trading desk but I think finding a way to win traded and master them should be utmost priority, if you learnt that quickly and master your own technics and skills, then designed and upgrade can follow because by then, money will be there to enjoy and the live the passionated life you always wanted.

If we want to say the truth to ourselves, the centralized exchanges especially Kucoin that provide bots services know very well that this is nothing but a scam but they will give customers false hope that they can do more with these exchanges and make more money but the truth is that they can't make anything from trading, instead of using trading bots, I will rather trade using support and resistance line than bots that will not yield anything after 30 days.

There was a review I watched on YouTube about these bots, they are profitable and there was a loss too and the total profits and losses were balanced down, the loss was more than the profits and that beat the objective of a real trader in my opinion, in the bull run they gain more profits than the loss.

A dead development on arrival, sometimes you need to calm down and enjoy what life brings to the table but I think Elon Musk is overdoing his ambition on Twitter, no doubt that he is trying to recoup the investment capital but charging people to use X is ridiculous and greed. If he plan to do that, he will not only lose the bot's activities but he will also lose ordinary users that do their comment and read their timeline, how can people be paying to verify the account and that is not enough, he can do better. 

A months now, bloggers and content creators have started to earn money from the platform and I believe nobody did or asked him to implement it, if he really cared about revenue that much, he shouldn't have implemented it in the first place because, with the amount he pay bi-weekly to users on that platform, if ordinary users are to minor fees, it will exceed what they will earn from the micro-blogging platform because I strongly believe that half of users live for alternative, Meta Thread platform is even waiting for him to make mistake in order to steal all his customers to the platform.

I think there is a lesson to be learned here from your cousin's early retirement!

I don't think it is a wise decision when your next plan is not feasible in the sense that it's on probability. Retirement is sweet when you have alternative to what you are currently doing if your investment has really matured to cover future expenditures and health insurance. You can't quit what you do for a living when your investment is yet to mature, its like taking risk when you know that the road is still blurry and to think his age, 35 is still very young to chase dreams and make more money.

I laughed hard when some people in the forum say they would retire if they made some amount of Bitcoin but it seems they forget that wealth accumulation is a continuous process, there is nothing really wrong in having more money if the source is not taking much of your time, the money coming from that place will help you cover some bills. Like your cousin, had it been he didn't quit that his job, who knows the money from his job would have helped me take care of his health and his investment would have continued to grow without touching it.

This is supposed to be a Nigeria local board thread but since you dropped it in economics, nothing bad.

Inflation is the primary reason why the price of goods increase, when the government fails to combat the things that swell inflation number, it will definitely make even the basic things become unaffordable, and the poor man continue to suffer the consequences. Another thing that makes the price of goods too costly is that Nigeria has dollarized her economy, when you ask an average seller why they increased the price of what they sell, they will tell you that the dollar to Naira has increased, meaning the Naira is becoming walking day by day in a country that is independent. 

Another reason why the price of goods has increased is that Nigerians want luxury goods they cannot produce and then spend millions of dollars to have those goods and products imported back to Nigeria and it is killing the economy because that isn't strengthening the Naira but it keeps falling down every day. I checked Naira to a dollar today at the parallel market and it is now almost #1000 to a dollar, something that was around #380 3 years ago; This is why the price of goods has not been stable in Nigeria.

Grant in other blockchains are more like incentives for developers to build on their chain in order to reward them, you build something unique just to impress the teams and then get your share of the pool, nothing more. Bitcoin ecosystem isn't like that because all the new blockchains can mint coins and tokens anyhow they like and give to whoever they want to give, bitcoin isn't like that, there will be 21million BTC which makes it more decentralized and the people that have dedicated their life building from day one were the early birds and they are still here doing the free work to see bitcoin succeed without been rewarded in any form.

There is only one reward in the Bitcoin ecosystem and that is mining, I think lots of people are happy doing that for the community and their pockets, and in return, it makes the chain more decentralized and stable.

Just for the record and to prove my point, I hope you believe that miners do consider some transactions where huge fees are return. This is the second time in my life in Bitcoin I have experience this, you can navigate to OP first page and comfirm.

Mistakes are avoidable sometimes but I will really do everything in my power to avoid this because not everyone will reason with you in such kind of difficult situations, that's why concensus rule exit and is been followed by everyone to avoid this kind of things, bull run is also coming, I also hope we don't see more of this.

I want to believe you are using Nigeria as a case study. We would have been enjoying the benefits of banks as it was before but one thing led to another that change the status of Nigeria and bitcoin adoption. Till today, nothing has change about it's adoption nor the adoption, it's growing like nothing happened because there was even a time a bill was pass to tax about 15% from crypto but it seems it was trashed in the bin as there is nothing signed about the legality of bitcoin.

Politics made Nigerian Bitcoin legality this way. I'm not sure if you remembered when they did the END SARS protest to end the police brutality that later went south. Lots of donation were made that week which many were done through bitcoin as banks were restricting the accounts where donations were made. After the catastrophic protest, the government took action to restrict banks from using bitcoin for two reasons which are:

• Opposition parties fuel the protest to rubbish the sitting government then, according to them, they said the protest was targeted to get back at the government that's why they persisted to do donations through bitcoin.
• Another reason was because banks were using customers money to buy bitcoin and according to CBN act, it's illegal and that's why they have to ban banks from facilating transactions.

What I know is this, bitcoin will not turn to legal tender in some countries, but they wouldn't stop people from using it because they know that it's something they can not force people to abandon, it will remain the most cherish, a light that people will seek no matter what they do to oppress the masses.

I have really saw two couples who share betting code for each other, yes they literally bet the same matches and the day it went well, they celebrate together and the days it cut, they laughed it off and act as if nothing happened, that is what relationship is about right, mutual understanding and the fun of it and what amaze me about their betting spirit is that they don't fund each other, each one of them bet with their money and it's literally  a penny from what they earn, so it's nothing to worry about and they discussed about the amount they stake each week to avoid unnecessary later explanations.

I don't think gambling affects relationship if you are been open to people around you, tell them you do and it doesn't change anything. Here, it's a normal thing as side husle for some and make sure that they have another means for putting food on the table, the day they won, they cheer up their friend and family and the day they lost, they still cheer up and turn up to other activities as if nothing really happened. Isn't that is how gambling is meant to look, fun fun all day.

Modric is a game changer, how they were able to convince him to stay shows how relevance he is to the club and it's not surprising because despite his mate all left the club, he is still around improving Real Madrid style. However, I think Modric is made to be more of assists than goal scorers while Bellingham should be a prioritize as striker if he improve his game in Real Madrid. I could remember that Benzema was was once playing winger for Real Madrid back then when Ronaldo was still in his prime but as time goes on, he developed interest in playing as a striker and that has change his performance today.

Modric only have few years if not less than 2, because if indeed they want him for long time, the last contract he signed would have been for long period but was just a year contract that will last until June 2024. Who knows if he is going to live Spain finally and retire in Saudi Arabia to enjoy his share of the national cake of retirement because 37 is really high unless he is no Real Madrid family.

Wasn't Milan and Inter struggle all through in the Seria A last season, but made it out in the Champions League until they dropped out in the semi final for Milan and Inter stay throughout till the final and the Napoli that was toping the standing was dropped in the quarterfinal and yet they finished their domestic league as first, isn't that fantastic. It was towards in the end they boucle up to finish among the first four in their domestic league. What am I saying, having a bad time in domestic league doesn't mean they will have bad days in the Champions League, they can suprise everyone in the end.

It's doesn't matter, been owned by oil rich niggas just to waste and sign players doesn't guarantee anything, did Manchester City actually did that last time to succeeded in winning the UCL? Even PSG and Chelsea that has wasted a lot were rubbish in the group stage and quarter final and the real under hype teams made it till the end.

No wonder they say those that have head don't have cap to wear and those that have the cap doesn't have the head. I'm talking about Manchester United and Chelsea. If Erik has the quality type of players that is under Pochettino in Manchester United, he will undoubtfu win this season no matter what but he doesn't while Pochettino has all the good guys including the favorite that won the world cup but they are losing in the Premier league, to even say that some players were discarded from Chelsea to Manchester United still Chelsea is still under a stuck train station with coal to move in the table.

Manchester United will make a come back, in short the more I look at the situations of Manchester United and Chelsea, Manchester United will recover early than Chelsea only if they do that fast as the season is till early, winning two or three matches will make them recover sharply and if the top 4 begin there losses, it will be an advantage for them.

Pep is not always right but may be we can say that he is right decision makers. So far, all the players he has bought and sold are all beneficial to Manchester United, none has disappointed a bit and I think 2021-2022 market has been so far one of the greatest moves he has ever made. He won the Premier League 2 times already since they bought Haaland and has also won the Champions League since that time and now, they lead this season with 5 straight win matches, no club come close to compare what those guys have done, even while he was on medication, Manchester City are still doing well in his absence, that's how you know good decision maker.

It's funny that Pochettino still think that he need more ingredients to be able to cook nice meal In Chelsea, how many more players does he need to sign more to be able to win, he should at least win some match and lose few, that will be understandable but not winning a match and he think addition of players is the problem. I'm just wondering the kind of pressure he is going to be experiencing in Chelsea if Erik lost to Brighton put him on edge of Manchester United.

Manchester United needs to deal with the inside of the players before they deal with any other thing that is worrying the club. Some days ago, it was Greenwood and then Antony which have been suspended till further notice but seems Sancho is having a beef to settle with Erik. If all managers were like Guardiola, every team would be okay because we all see how he raised his voice on Haaland many times, they all disagreed and agreed many times and they are still cool breaking bad matches in the Premier League but Manchester United is different, similar thing provoke Ronaldo for making his way to Al-Nasir.

Very soon, Erik is going to follow the same faith that some coach has seen in the past, he wasn't the first in Manchester United but I have feelings that if he doesn't make it out of the group stage and also can't make it in the domestic league which is the Premier League, he will be the release of his duty. To think that Manchester United lost to Dortmund in a friendly match, I wonder if they are going to pull anything on Bayern Munich. If it was before, I would say that they have a chance but now + Kane is nearly impossible in my opinion.

The fun of gambling will disappear when you don't see it as a fun activity, when you start to see it as a way to make money you will hate the bad side of it. When you take gambling for the entertainment purpose, trust me you will find a way to quickly forget any bad encounter that you face. For instance, you earn $1000 a week as an average salary and then from that amount, you remove $50 from it to gamble for that week and you lose, some people may feel it depending on how heavy your bills are but how do you think it's going to feel if you use $500 from the weekly wages to bet, you will definitely feel the pain. In essence, gamble with what you can afford to lose, that is the only way you can see gambling being fun.

As for hardship, I think it would be absurd to think that gambling is an opportunity to make passive income to feed and pay bills. It is not a place to make money daily, anyone who depends on it to increase their income will end up disappointed at the end of the day. Look for a normal job to uplift your bills and treat gambling as it should.

You are funny with your analysis. How do you tell that Real sociedad defenders weren't ready for the attack that Real Madrid pressured them. Understand that when players are playing with their experience, the manager and the assistant eyes will be on the pitch observing the progress of the match. When they saw that their team was not doing well, they communicated with them by signal or making a substitute change with another player to improve that area and that was what Ancelotti did and they stylishly won the match despite having conceded a goal in the early minute of the match.

I underestimated how Ancelotti became confident in the players he had, I strongly believe that they need a striker back then to win this season but with the result so far, they can still do it without spending for the rest of the season, 5 straight win is crazy and still laying low on top of the league as if they haven't done much this season. I know that they are going to lose some match in coming weeks but I'm impress with what they have done so far.

Exactly, this happened to but to he sincere, Manchester United has lost 2 good matches in a row to Arsenal and Brighton. On a normal ground when Manchester United was still in a Turbo mode, those two teams will not come close to where Manchester United are but look at how things have changed for bad. Now tell me, with this performance, do you really think they can use such performance to tackle Bayern Munich? It's a possible called but I really doubt them.

Despite the fact that Bayern draw to Leverkusen in their last match, the two teams are the still leading Bundesliga while Manchester United is sitting below top 10 from his domestic league. Even a non footballer will predict that Manchester United will definitely lost this one too if care is not taken.

I will rather be a fear man than wait till disaster happen to me. You know the idea of not your keys not your coins, most people don't take it seriously because they haven't been a victim or experience any of it. Had it been they have lost there entire worth into some groups of people, they will pick a race when they see any platforms without keys. Gambling platforms is just another type of centralized exchanges, they are not place to keep money, do whatever you want to do and as soon as you are done with them, migrate all the coins from the exchange to a personal wallet that you can control.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one experience this but anytime I have a win in betting platforms, I developed this anxiety that if u don't withdraw my money, they will later accuse of one thing or the other if u don't withdraw them and all are because of the reports of scam and reputation threads I come accross everyday on the forum, I don't want to be dragged and I don't want to drag either. I will withdraw my capital and the profit instantly and when I'm ready for the next bet, I will deposit again.

There are things we need to address concerning Chelsea, Pochettino and the players, the board are out of the question because they have given him the money to sign any player he need which he did and has the power to use any of the player as he wish but nothing good is coming out from Chelsea, last season was more better because they started on a good foot print which Tuchel left for then Potter collapse everything and since then, they are not in good condition anymore. We need answers of what is really happening, I'm not sure I have seen Chelsea this bad since they've been one of my favorite club.

Pochettino was interviewed today after they draw their match with Bournemouth, no goal score and non was conceded but still doesn't prove they are good to me. What baffle was the statement he made that he understood that the fans are angry but that's not his concern because the team are in right track. He thinks he knows everything but I think he should ask Graham how he was dragged last summer, it wasn't a funny experience in Chelsea for him.
