821  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / How feasible will it be for our government to invest in bitcoin? on: November 20, 2023, 08:21:27 PM
We all are aware that our country is in debt, domestically (debt owned to organisations in the country) and externally (debts owned to organisations outside the country). We know the debts is not reducing rather increasing as year goes by and our main source of income which is exporting Crude Oil has been on the decline by some factors which has affected the government in being able to pay any of this debt and this continues to make our economy decline.

How feasible will it be for our president to invest in bitcoin to cover up these debts and strengthen our economy?
since we know that bitcoin halving is coming next year and this may likely make Bitcoin hit a new all time high with the span of 2 years and also the high increased of the chance of SEC accepting Bitcoin ETF which is a great news for bitcoin and also we are currently in the bullish season.

I thought about this recently when replying a post about the New Argentina president, since they are also in debt and we also, I brought it here.
822  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers on: November 20, 2023, 07:31:17 PM
The Portuguese stars left the field with a wonderful victory in the Portugal vs Iceland match with a margin of 2-0. Cristiano Ronaldo was in great form but despite not scoring a goal, he performed brilliantly in the match. Portugal had possession of the ball from the beginning to the end of the game due to which Iceland could not attack the opposition much, and they lost at the end of the game. In the European Championship qualification group stage, Portugal is in the first place in the points table, so far Ronaldo's team has completed ten matches without losing a single match. With impressive wins in each of the ten matches that have seen them top the points table, they will surely be in the best position in the European Championship this season.
Portugal has been one of the best European teams through the time of the the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifyers and they rounded up their qualifying games with a victory against Iceland yesterday by beating their visitors by two goals to nil. Cristiano Ronaldo who's been very instrumental to the team's perfect results in the qualifyers failed to score yesterday but provided an assist for one of the two goals. With their current form and performance, Portugal are definitely gonna be one of the favorites to win the European championship next summer
With the squad depth and Ronaldo being in form (not like world Cup where he had too much on his mind), I think Portugal can really win this because in as much that the team are doing excellently, Ronaldo form will also increase their winning mentality.

It is time for Italy to finish this job today.  Cool

I'm not Italian but I really want to see Italy in Euro 2024. It is nice to have all big national teams in the biggest tournaments. Italy couldn't reach the last World Cup dramatically as you know. I wouldn't like to see a similar scenario happening again for Euro 2024 this time. They did what they had to do against North Macedonia. It was more like they were having revenge on them on one hand.  Grin

After seeing that amazing performance I'm more expectant from Italy against Ukraine. Even one point is enough, yeah. But Italy would play for winning this game as good as possible. I believe that they will do this too.
It was disappointing for Italy not qualifying for the world Cup after just winning the Euro 2020 in which they played exceptionally well and some people would have expected them to win the world Cup because they were the best time in Europe at that time. Let's see how far the defending champion can go in Euro 2024 because as it seems they will likely qualify
823  Economy / Speculation / Re: Argentina's Pro-Bitcoin Javier Milei Winning the Presidential Race on: November 20, 2023, 07:14:36 PM
The hype about this news bring the BTC price rising more than 2%, many people think the Argentina will become the next El Salvador.
But if we look closely, Argentina is the biggest debtor of IMF and we knew IMF is "Anti Crypto".
Yea this is true but we also know that bitcoin is bullish currently and next year is more likely to be halving and we will be expecting a new ATH after the coming halving within the next 2 years and also the hope of SEC accepting Bitcoin ETF is increasing, which makes now being a good time to invest in Bitcoin.
How feasible will it be for Argentina to invest in bitcoin to pay their debts?

That is wise and the best choice for the beginners so that there will be no pressure on how you're going to start on this market.
When you buy and just hold for the moment, you'll get to see the picture of the entire market as you start.
By having that initiative, you'll get to have the encourage or discouragement whether you want to pursue trading or not.
Holding for a beginner will not provide any advantage if a beginner wants to engage in trading. Rather, most likely the advantage will be very significant, but only because there will be no loss of money in trading, and holding for a beginner will definitely bring the best result in the long term. It is important that the bulk of the funds be allocated to hold, and a small part of the funds should be allocated to trading, because at first there will definitely be losses, and until the trader receives the necessary knowledge, it will be very difficult to make a profit.
The best is for beginners to learn before Hodling which is more less risky than trading because it takes courage and trust to HODL in order not to be moved by negative news, gains or media hype , beginners without any knowledge of hodling will likely sell their bitcoin if they know little or nothing about hodling bitcoin all because of FUD

826  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 20, 2023, 03:24:18 PM
Things like this are still possible but if this speculation continues to grow then indeed I think it doesn't really matter because last season Ten Hag was also initially considered a failure especially when he had problems with Ronaldo and Greenwood's problems at that time worsened the atmosphere of the attacking line from Manchester United but in the end he was still able to bring Manchester United to the Champions League zone and now the situation is not much different so indeed the management of Manchester United will definitely make the same gamble by continuing to entrust Manchester United to Ten Hag so that he continues to prove himself.
Even though things like this are sometimes not too liked even by Manchester United fans themselves but when the club management has made a decision then they only have to see how Ten Hag performs until the end of this season.
Ten Hag will continue the season till the end but there is no hope for Trophy this season for them even if they are sent to Europa league but they are likely gonna finish well in the Epl table just like previous seasons but more likely Ten Hag might be fired the coming season especially if he has another argument with another player because last time was Cr7, this season Sancho next season  Huh
All the players he has signed are under performing or inconsistent and I don't really think he he is love by the players or maybe there is no love among the players.
Whether there is a trophy or not at the moment is not the initial goal because I still think that the initial goal at the moment is to regain performance and confidence in order to continue to be and coach very comfortably because the problem of trophies for United is very difficult for them to get after the SAF era ended and from a decade from SAF's retirement to the present it has been very difficult for Manchester United to get their trophies.
But trust for Ten Hag will also be a reasonable thing because in the first season he gave the trophy even though it was not too prestigious because it was only the Carabaou Cup that they got but at least it could be a consolation that gave a little something different so naturally he was still trusted to train because in the end if there was a change of coach the trophy was not necessarily Manchester United could get.
I don't think there is a way he will be able to do that this season, for Manchester United to throwaway a 2 - 0 lead against Copenhagen and later end the game losing shows how far they have fallen, a big team should have been able  to hold up even if their player is sent off. In a nutshell Manchester United players even before the arrival of Ten Hag lacks confidence and their performance has not been consistent and even in these flaws they won the carabao Cup last season, which shows winning a trophy is actually easier than fixing their root problems, but winning a trophy  is among what is needed to build team performance and confidence
827  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: November 19, 2023, 09:53:48 PM
We're about to experience another raid from the transfer market by the Saudi Pro League, they succeed in luring several top European players to the league and since it helped in improving the level of the league’s popularity it means they maid still want more European players come into the league, a lot of European players that a earning little from their club would be tempted to move over to the Saudi side cause of the financial benefits it comes with.

 Well as for Jodan Sancho he's a young player with lots of talent, I believe he still got more left in him to showcase in the European Football, therefore it would be a wrong call to switch to the Saudi side this early cause of the financial benefits, well I hope he makes the right decision, as for Mo' Salah, Liverpool succeeded in keeping him in the club this season but I doubt if they'll be able to keep him much longer, cause the Saudi side would come up with a more tempting offer and Liverpool would have no choice but to let their star man leave.
Sancho won't be going to Saudi Arabia, if they are really interested in Manchester United player then they should opt for Casemiro because big money move will definitely lure him there since he already has everything (champions league, last liga, club World Cup and others) and he definitely knows getting the Premier league trophy with Manchester United with the current team (players, coach and back room staff) is not possible, he will love to go to Saudi and he will be a great buy.
Salah is not leaving Liverpool anytime soon big money cannot lure him except Liverpool accept to let him go and which they won't expect they are sure they officially have a replacement for sure
828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 19, 2023, 09:39:31 PM
Girona have really been on good form this season but they’re not a team who would want to challenge Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atletico Madrid for the title, challenging for the title has some requirements it has to meet such as; Squad Depth and Financial Capacity, without squad depth, when the first 11 is out with injuries the team will get all shaky and without finances, there’ll be no room for replacement of injured players.

 With 2 top games in hand and considering the injury crisis of Real Madrid and Barcelona I think Girona will end the year on top the log of the table but I don’t expect them to be there a while into the 2nd half of the league, Bilbao are a pretty composed team that could cause worry to any Spanish side left alone Girona, no doubt Girona has been good at home but Bilbao could cause an upset for them over the weekend and they might probably share the spoils.
You know is one thing to return back from injury and is another thing to be in form and this is the issue Real Madrid and Barcelona are currently facing while Madrid has a chance of signing new players this January, Barca is not really also having it freely since because of their crisis and as if this is not enough more key players are getting injured like Gavi today and its seems he will be out till next year.
I believe Girona will face more struggle dealing with Bibao than Barcelona this year after all the injury crisis upon Barcelona
829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: November 19, 2023, 09:27:45 PM
I have often wondered about the people who have lost a lot in gambling and who almost loose in every gambling activity they participate. What is their reason or motivation to continue even after so many losses?
I do usually lost in gambling while my friends continually hit big I guess they are among the reason I still continue gambling but my current resolve is small stakes big odds. I don't really care how many times I lose but the day I finally hit it I'm gonna get it big. I don't see this unhealthy to me since I'm not addicted to gambling

In as much that Bitcoin brought financial freedom to everyone either from government or becoming rich and others, I love bitcoin because since the creation of bitcoin has been solving problems while the first problem its officially solved brought the inception of a new technology(Blockchain) to the world after the challenges faced in inventing a functioning Blockchain was fixed by it. Now so many types of Blockchain but all this were possible by a simple action by Satoshi in implementing PoW mechanism, God bless Satoshi for his wisdom and knowledge.
832  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Is Ai a threat to Nigerias educational system on: November 19, 2023, 07:31:37 PM
Nigerian higher institution student now lack the zeal to read and do a proper research because of ai presently now ai is now the Messiah to many Nigerian students which I see as a threat if not is been done the thing about it is that most of the time it pops out wrong answers mean while if you did not study it will think it's correct, Nigerian student before now we're known to be very very intelligent not minding our semi failed educational system we have here its very easy for Nigeria's to bag first class and many other honors outside Nigeria because we do study hard for it but I doubt in 10 years time if we will be able to say this again because of the high rate of student turning to this Ai thing basically I see it helpful a little bit but I will still encourage you to still  study so you wouldn't be taken unaware with wrong answers.
This is not entirely true, Nigerian students have always been like this some have always been serious (and still is) while others have always been using underlying means (examination malpractice) to pass exams including Waec and higher institutional exams. Also some institutional students sometimes may go and buy research, projects or seminar topics instead of the doing it themselves and miss the main essence of the research, project or seminar.
  All these have been existing before the adoption of AI, using AI doesn't mean you are not studying and even in researching without AI, there are chances of getting false information on the site you visit. That is why it is always advisable not to just accept anything just because a site, someone or Ai said its correct (you need to verify from other sources before accepting it) when doing your own research which is not just constraining to bitcoin or crypto investment.
833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers on: November 18, 2023, 10:05:57 PM
Damn, France 14:0 Gibraltar. Everyone expected that it will be easy for France, but that they will score so many goals - it's their biggest win ever. And it's biggest ever win in EURO qualifiers history, previous record was Germany 13:0 San Marino from 2006. I never saw before team scoring 2 own goals in first 4 minutes of game. I f it would be lower tier competition, there would be some thoughts about match fixing. And when Gibraltar got red card on 18th minute, it was obvious that evening isn't going to end well for them.
In main game today Romania secured their spot in EURO after beating Israel 1:2. Though, things started so well for Israel afterthey scored goal on 2nd minute
14:0 wow, after seeing  Brazil U-17 crushing New Caledonia U-17 by 9 goals to nil with 81 shots with 23 on target on Tuesday and Today France really Crush Gibraltar, though I'm disappointed that Griezmann didn't get on the score sheet even from this number of goals and only having a single assist while playing the full game and also I thought Mbappe would have more than 3 goals but at least he got an hat trick and 2 assist which means he had 5 goal contribution which is good
834  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin really too Expensive? Then Buy Satoshis on: November 18, 2023, 09:32:05 PM
Bitcoin wasn't made in such a way that It's compulsory to get 1BTC  or natural numbers (1,2...n) of BTC before you be eligible to get a bitcoin, we have sat and you can start buying even if it's 0.00000001 (which the minimum Sat) , nothing is stopping anyone from getting bitcoin, weather poor or rich bitcoin is available to everyone.
Some have failed to realise this, then later buy altcoins and which they mostly regret in the end. The image below explains everything better.

835  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do i avoid dust utxo error message. on: November 18, 2023, 09:18:35 PM
This is an issue that is exclusive mainly to Trust wallet users during transactions. A user who encounters this dust utxo error message shouldn't be worried. It is a minor issue that occurs as a result of the extra fee or let's say payment fee which is mandatory for users using Trust wallet for transactions.
Trust wallet is a non-custodial wallet and it doesn't charge you any extra fee. All the fee you pay when making a transaction on trustwallet goes to miners.
Note that whatever wallet you use, you have to pay fee to miners, so that they include your transaction in the blockchain.
In as much as your statement holds true in some ways, Trust wallet even if its still a non-custodial wallet offers more transaction fee comparably to other non-custodial wallet like Bluetwallet and Electrum wallet even aside using the RBF on these wallet. The fact is I don't even like classifying trustwallet among non-custodial since its easily hacks and because of some of the features it lack which include LN, RBF and others.

Ter Stegen news would be a huge blow for Barcelona during difficult times like this. Do they have a worthy and quality replacement for him in that squad?
The international break have caused more hard to players in good form but what can they do? Nothing! They have to turn up and play for them countries when called upon.
Even with a defense in disarray, Ter Stegen would make quality and die hard saves for his defenders and teammates. His absence could cost them alot, but then, another chance for yougins to show them talents.

Vinicius has also said it's similar to the Injury he had before returning, it could also take some two to three months before he returns fully. Let's say, January would be peng!
Barcelona and Madrid definitely will feel the hit of these injuries. Camavinga has been excellent the season while Junior has already cement himself as one of the key players Madrid needs to win a game.
Seems like Barcelona will feel it more since their defence has been shaky and now their main keeper is injured

Unbelievable stuff from Girona even after thirteen matches they are topping tye la Liga table with a reasonable point margin over Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
I believe that Girona has great potentials and they would still do very well in coming matches they have shown that this might not be a fluke or luck but this is a result of their dedication and consistency. I don't see Girona winning the Spanish la Liga but I hope their performance gets them a place in Europe next season.
What if this is another fairytale just like how Leicester City won the Epl in 2015/2016, no body ever believed they could do it but they did it and If Girona can continue like this even after the end of the year then they may likely win it
839  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are there fewer women Than men involved in Bitcoin? on: November 17, 2023, 07:09:17 PM
In as much as it seems like there are few women in Science, Tech, Engineering and Mathematics, the women in this field who has higher impact to the world than men, before computers was created, women were being called computers because at that time it was seen as a woman job to be doing calculations including complex calculations, generating mathematical models and others. It was the based on the fact that at that time women hardly get promotion they deserve or sometimes its more like they put in the effort while the male get the reward and acknowledgments.
Women has been helpful in the development of computer, the programming language use to instruct or interact with computers and even cryptography which is use in Blockchain.
Coming to bitcoin, there's no gender discrimination, adopting bitcoin is individual preference, one of the oldest members of this forum is Foxpup and she is definitely among the bitcoin earliest adopters.
Now I'm curious to know why she adopted bitcoin thinking it now.
