A pretty good win but actually in this case I think this is not a guarantee of a good start even though in this match they are very good in terms of performance but that does not mean they are back on track just because of 1 win in this match but this is a very good step for Arsenal.

Currently, the situation is very favorable for Arsenal but they have to make a breakthrough even more because after all this is the first step in the middle of the season and the results of a big win in this match should not overawe them.
Now with this result they shifted Aston Villa in third place but indeed Manchester City and Liverpool still have 1 match left which makes the position in the top 2 still very difficult to secure.

Arsenal experienced an improvement compared to their performance in the first half. Their rhythm of play in the second half looked quite good and it looked like they were really dominating the game. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace, although they had several chances, it was a shame they didn't have a good finishing touch. What I see is that their enthusiasm and efforts are slackening, and I think the 2 goals from Arsenal in the first half were the cause. In the final minutes, Crystal Palace really had a nightmare.

I don't know whether what I'm feeling other people are feeling it or am just having this feeling based on the country where I'm located, or am feeling this way because of age and responsibility. Before now everything was easy for the rich , poor, and middle class, you can even be happy without having any money with you. But this time it seems different,  you can still have money but still their is is no inner joy. Now even the people around are not real and genuine but fake, can even betray for free. Is it that as the world is evolving people are changing too.

150 years of exporting between countries began in 1870, when the beginnings of exporting from the United Kingdom began in the 1800s, and from that time countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, China, and Japan topped the lists of exporting countries. Is export capacity related to manufacturing capabilities or to resources available in those countries?

Senegal 2-0 Cameroon
 This game from the beginning was very exciting and entertaining, with Senegal continuously proving why they were the champions the last time at every given point of the game. It's not like Cameroon are not applying pressure but it's sad to note that they are yet to get a shot on target since the game started.
 Right now, the Indomitable lions of Cameroon are being dominated by the Taranga lions of Senegal and the home side is doing it without apologies, leading by two goals, I don't see Cameroon coming back from this.

Therefore, as a crypto investor, have it at the back of your mind that , there might be losses or gains.

3. The investor must plan down possible risk control mechanisms to prepare the groups for possible updates.

4. Then finance the business: In financing business, the capital must be within the dictates of the risks foreseen. In this way, there will be minimum losses.

This kidnapping matter dey bother me because the government never really take it upon themselves to stop this evil that's happening in our country.
Only government say every sim must be link to a National identification number(NIN) before you go fit use am, sim  wey no dey link to NIN, will be barred but how come dem no dey fit get these kidnappers their Identities with the numbers wey them dey use call for ransom or abi them dey use the victims number dey call for these ransom? Some of the victims are not even rich, how them go take raise the money? What a wicked world, no sympathy for human life because of money wey we all go die leave one day.

That video wey I watch wey them keep the victim for forest still dey traumatize me, how the victim families go dey feel?
If na better country wey dey function well, they will trace those calls and messages from wherever  it is coming from. Everyday people dey fear to travel through road because of this kidnapping. Na only God go help us o. Make bad thing no happen to any of us here.

Beginners who are desperate to make money will fall for an offer like this , and if you go through the comments sections their are so many people who are so interested in this. Like if you go through the write up of this dude who claims to be bitcoin expert he said those that are finding it difficult to create a wallet he will help in creating the wallet and funding it. This is how many people will make mistakes to accept offer like this just because they want to earn quick.

Spending time to learn pays a lot and it prevent people from making painful mistakes. For those that have knowledge about wallet won't fall victim of allowing anyone to assist to create wallet. Spending time to learn is not a waste, it saves money from entering the wrong hands.

Statement of President Donald Trump during an interview:

I think President Trump is correct about the possible control of the government on your funds as Americans and we all know that. People anywhere in the world wants privacy and full control of their funds that is why they invested on decentralized assets rather than having something like the CBDC.

But do you think this is a smart move of him or you still prefer the use of digital dollar?
Do you agree with him to not allow the creation of CBDC or you just don't care about this?
I know that it is non of my business but I just want to know, is there really a need to create CBDC?

I want to hear your thoughts on this as it might happen to any country in the world anytime.

Arsenal shaky this season and they're no longer in the top four this season after they declined in their performance in matches. Arsenal headcoach, Mikel Arteta have numerous options to triggered in the transfer window. He has scouts for potential forwards in the team. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Edward Keddar Nketiah and Leandro Trossard, these are the frontlines that are held for the solidable foundation of the club. They're important and if Mikel Arteta valued them, he would worked on developing them and not search outside for new strikers because I see nothing wrong with the current condition of the club.

From the look of things is like Nigeria will finally win the match because Ivory Coast players cannot break through the defenceof the super eagles. The game is in the extra time and I don't see any hope for the host country because it seems that Nigeria are taking this match personally, and they don't want the host to equalize the goal. Pepe has been deprived from getting an opportunity to strike the ball. The moment Ivory Coast reaches Nigeria box, Nigeria defense clears it out. It is two minutes left, and still no hope for Ivory coast to equalize the goal. I will say that Nigeria defense was a road block for Ivory Coast. All three points to Nigeria.

Actualy Arsenal has not been performing well in recent times. You know they have not been able to get a single win in the last three matches, another thing is they have only one win in the last five matches. That is definitely not ideal for Arsenal. But the thing is they will be playing against Crystal Palace in the next match. And I think arsenal should be able to win the match easily. Because you know Crystal Palace has not been able to perform consistently in this season.

Even though Crystal Palace has been able to win the last match, they have only one win in the last five and the last match is the only win that they got in that time period.  So I believe arsenal should have this. They should get three points from this match.

Good around the penalty box shouldn't have just scored a single goal, they should ha e doubled that goal up, that's what we mean by good at goal. Anyways props to em as they gotta point out if the game.
Y'all still have hopes about Nigeria? Funny how the  Nigerian Football Federation goes about dictating what the coach should do and not do in this game. Don't forget too many cooks spoil the soup.

We just have few food players who play as a team in that squad,the rest are complete gamblers. What's a player like Iwobi doing on the pitch for 90minutes if not straight up bribe to the NFF. I can't see them games unless they improve.

As a responsible gambler it gladdens my heart always whenever I hear a fellow gambler testify of how he won a bulky amount of money from be it a bet or lotto and uses that money to inject into something meaningful for himself.

It all happened on my way home just this evening. I boarded a public bus and just in front of me were seated two young men too in their late thirty's having a conversation and from the conversation it sound like they haven't met for a long time and one was telling the other of how he had won a big amount of money from a lotto he played and he has used the money to get himself a new bus for public transportation business.

According to him, he once had a bus before which he was using for the transport business (carrying of passengers) but was seized and confiscated by the authority for he used it in conveying contraband goods of which he was hired to carry to some location by the goods owner on the way law enforcement agents stop them did a search and that was how he lost that vehicle.

So winning that money he quickly went ahead to get a new bus to continue his public transport business. From his voice he seems like one whose lost hope has been restored by that single win. Gambling can be a life saver too for it's not as bad as non-gamblers portrays it. To all gamblers' when you get lucky make good use of your gambling win do not chase for double portion.

I'm looking at the match played between Morocco and Tanzania in the African Cup. It's a really boring match.
The football played in the African Cup is not satisfactory at all.
Minute 80 passed and En Nesyri scored the 3rd goal and was taken out of the game.
The facial expression of Samatta, who plays for Tanzaya, when he was taken off the game was very bad, but it is also a fact that Samatta is experiencing a great decline in terms of football. He was sent off from the team when he could not make the necessary contribution to Fenerbahçe. He is currently playing football in Paok, but he could not make enough contribution there either.
The Moroccan team is a good team and I think Morocco is the clear favorite in the African Cup.

I've been longing to Open my dream business for a very long time now, my dad is an influencial politician in my state. He has companies and some businesses and I've been pestering him to assist me with some funds to start my dream business of having my Own Bar but he never gave me a listening ear. Just on January 2 2024, He sent me #2,000,000 in my local currency which is about ($1560 currently in dollars and 0.037347 in BTC) to start up my dream business.
             I was so happy and thankful to him for giving this assistance after a very long time I've been requesting money from him to start up a business.

 Now I've furnished and equipped the bar with different brands of drinks. I was thinking of using Bitcoin as a medium of payment for my new business since there have been massive involvement of people from my country in Bitcoin after the initial ban placed on cryptocurrency in my country was being lifted.

My major setback now is the high transactions fees and congestion in the mempool but I've made provisions for my BTC Address to customers but for now they're still patronizing me in fiat.

The picture below shows the transaction I received from my dad and the setting of my bar:

 please help wish me well in my new achievement for the year 2024.

TRANSACTION OF THE MONEY RECEIVED FROM MY DAD


THE SETTINGS OF MY BAR







Edit: after much deliberation and suggestions from responsible members that gave their individual opinion to me here, I have therefore retorted to use TRC 20-USTD and BNB for payment hence, I've removed my initial wallet address i made available earlier as my intended payments method but however, I'm optimistic to use bitcoin as a payment method for my business in the future when transaction fees will definitely reduce to a considerate price and probably no congestion in the mempool.

Without giving away too much personal info, I have a chronic disease. I've had this disease for a decade and have had a lot of treatment for it, but it is winning. I likely only have a few months left. And so, I bid you all farewell. I'll be spending as much of my remaining time as possible with my family. In a week or two, once this thread has run its course, I'll ask theymos to lock this account.

I have learnt a lot from many of you, and I hope many of you have learnt something from me. Although we will never meet, I would have loved to share a beer with many of you, and I hope you'll remember me fondly.

so lets show you how people think about money
(example people are 20yo in 2020)

20yo female: "i want to have a $10k pair of high heels before im 24yo"
20yo male: "i want to have a $10k rolex before im 24yo"

20yo female: "i found a chinese knock-off heals for $2k, thats like 20% price, so i have $8k FREE money"
20yo male: "i invested $10k in crypto 2020"

21yo female: "i have $8k FREE i can get matching dress and purse and get my hair done and have a spa week(spends $5k) for FREE"
21yo male: "still hoarding crypto"

23yo female: "i have $3k FREE, oops shoes broke. oh inflation puts replacements at $3k, oh well still FREE"
23yo male: "still hoarding crypto"

24yo female: "i have $0k but i have my cheap out of fashion shoes and a smelly used dress i shouldnt wear again"
24yo male: "still hoarding crypto, i could buy 4 rolexes and still have money left"

I believe this is what makes it difficult for Pep when De Bruyne is injured. This is because there is no midfielder as intelligent as him. The 2nd goal against Newcastle was also proof, it wasn't hard but De Bruyne was very smart to read the goalkeeper's position. For passing, indeed he is smart enough to read the position, Oscar Bobb is also good at moving. De Bruyne's statistics with Man City are quite good, last season he made 16 assists and 7 goals.

At least Leverkusen still maintains its position at the top of the standings. Leverkusen plays relaxed because, for him, Augsburg is a team that is easy to beat. Leverkusen also seems to be saving its energy so that something or unwanted things don't happen because it is actually maintaining its position to stay in the winning position. The first is very difficult to do, therefore Leverkusen played very carefully.
