Bitcoin already functions as a P2P electronic system, although it has not achieved this description and purpose fully, but it will as soon it gets recognized generally, accepted and then adopted by more vendors for transaction purposes. Satoshi saw the future, we are not yet in that future where bitcoin is already serving this purpose.

We are the early adopters that are witnessing the growth and maturity of bitcoin into what it will become, and for the now we are just taking advantage of it to invest and make profit from it's present volatile nature.

I sense some hostility against bitcoins, but this your opinion of bitcoin is based on lack of understanding.

Bitcoin is no way a pyramid scheme, it is very far and different from it and shares no attribute that you can say is similar to pyramid schemes.

Some attributes of Pyramid schemes are;_source
If you invest in bitcoins, you do not need to bring two or any required number of persons. You can talk to people to try out this opportunity, but you are not under any form of pressure for them to join under you.

HODL as long as you can, no one told you that you were going to be rich in two weeks when you invest in bitcoins.

I see the award as an award given to the player who has the most influence for their team in very big and important games, players who can make a difference regardless of the team that their team is up against. Haaland may have scored a good number of goals last season, wo the treble with Manchester City, but he is not Balon d'Or material yet because in big games, he can be completely shadowed out.

See Jude Bellingham for instance, he is Balon d'Or material, seen how he carries his team, just like Mbappe who can also on singlehandedly make a huge impact in a game. See past winners like Ronaldo and even Benzema, they all had huge influence for their team in the season they won the award, scoring goals, and creating chances for others.

Haaland got the award he deserve for the now, he is a great goal scorer, nobody denies that, but there should still be a lot of improvement to his game to be considered the best player in the world.

Scammers and cybercriminals will go the extra mile to perfectly package with design and well structured writeups that can fool someone at first glance. They understand the euphoria that comes with events and celebrations, and they try to always take advantage of it.

I am extra careful these days because I understand that the economy is bad in most places and many companies are no longer in the business of doing extravagant giveaways and bonuses.

Not a good option, the company may find a reason to stop paying, may get bankrupt and fold up, cannot take that risk.

This will be better as you will be able to plan well with it and spread it over investments like a property, bitcoins and even business.

I will not want all to be invested in bitcoins, there are many needs to be sorted out so that I can be comfortable investing in bitcoins.[/b]

What is the use having a house valued at $480,000 when I will not be able to furnish it and live well in it because I do not have the money to.

This is a good choice too because there is the prospect of really getting good profit from a business that has take such an amount to set up.

Option B is for me.

Be careful not to make the same mistake twice, you may not be so lucky the second time.

To avoid mistakes of sending to a wrong address, always double check the address you pasted with the one you copied because asides the mistake you made, you may never know when you have been affected by the clipboard virus from cyber criminals that can modify crypto address copied to the clipboard to that of the criminal behind it.

 It is not impossible to be a victim when the device you use often to surf the internet is same device you store and send your bitcoins from.

The number one priority for everyone with a health condition especially the terminal cases is how to recover and get back to good health and not particularly investments because they know that due to their health condition, the chances that they may live long enough to enjoy the benefits of their investment is very small. A person with health condition even if they decide investing in bitcoins will not do it wholeheartedly, hence it is important that if you are healthy, you need to try to stay healthy as you keep investing in bitcoins.

Bitcoin is long term, we have to think long term for our health as well.

Chelsea will still need to get a goal scorer and goalkeeper at the next opportunity. They look good in every other position except these two. Nkunku cannot be trusted to remain injury free for long, the man can get injured even in training and be out for weeks.

I vice captained Palmer, I expected him to score against Brentford and have a great GW. It did not go as planned but I do not regret it as my former choice of vice captain Bruno Fernandes played even more poorly in the the derby game against city.

Same way I feel for not owning Salah, I do not just see a game where he will not score or create an assist.

Chelsh*t! Jackson needs to be schooled, the team desperately need a finisher. Chelsea were just Lucky against Burnley, we thought they had improved too when they played Arsenal, but against Brentford, shows that they are back to where they were.

Exactly how a team that has the intentions to win the league should be performing, Play vey well against the small teams, win the games you are expected to win against these teams, and then make sure to not loose but to pick a point or win when you play big teams. Arsenal has successfully been able to do that this season. Winning Manchester United, Manchester City, and not loosing to Chelsea. We have Liverpool left to contend with. It is never an easy game with them.

Francis is my winner, the fight was judged in Fury's favor to make sure that the fight between Fury and Usyk maintained the hype. It would have been bad for Marketing if Francis defeated a big champion in boxing on his debut. But it was very obvious who the winner was meant to be, It was meant to be in the favor of the aggressor who was undoubtedly the underrated Francis Ngannou.

A man against his fears!

Happy that Francis has earned enough financial reward ($10million) for his bravery and courage to have his first boxing match with one of the best in the ring, and also earned the respect of everyone including Fury.

I have taken this advice and all of a sudden I feel more optimistic about the coming GWs, starting from this weekend.

I already have Son on seven points from his performance backed by a goal in their game against Crystal Palace. Tottenham are playing very good football this season and I just wonder if they will be able to sustain this momentum and top the table to the end of the season. Ange Postecoglou has transformed the players, their mentality has improved very much. Micky Van de Ven is a great defender with good speed that has made him very good with recovery, Maddison is such good player for them with how very good he is with creating chances, Pape Matar Sarr will be sort after soon by top clubs  if he continues to develop and the Coach Ange Postecoglou has just been too good too with tactics.

Ange Postecoglou knew exactly what the game needed after Tottenham scored the first goal, and Brennan Johnson who he brought in for Richarlison was the player who created the assist for Son after a good tic-tac with Maddison to give them an assurance of victory.

I cannot speak for God, but I think he has no dealings with petty things like gambling. Following the gospel, we are all children of God, and both the person that wins and looses are all his children, so spirituality or praying to God to win in gambling is useless because the other person who has placed an opposite bet to what you have placed may have also prayed to the same God. So who is he going to answer?

There is luck in gambling, but no spirituality.

The economy in most countries is quite unpleasant at the moment and has become very worrying for citizens, many companies and even private business are folding up because their profit has heavily been affected and reduced and they can no longer sustain the high cost of running the business hence the choice to shutdown. Bitcoin provides a way out, an opportunity, a safe haven for people to make investment in something that is not affected by their economy and government.

As things toughen up, many people who never like bitcoin are coming to the realization the importance and relevance bitcoin has.

@OP He deals on furniture's, he must be rich to be the owner of a furniture place because furniture's are quite expensive. He lost at least $7.9m to gambling, he would have won more had his team performed as they did the last year, and the story would have been different entirely praising him for winning two years in a row on the same team. He can afford to loose millions, that is why he gambled with it.

He did win millions ($75m) already on this team from the bet he made on them the previous year, so he will not think of the lose so much.

Yes I think I can.

If making millions is no longer a big deal, and I am already used to the lifestyle of making millions, I can risk gambling with a million to make more millions.

Asides the comparison of the value of bitcoin between now and the last five years, bitcoin has also shown growth in the form of increased popularity. More people know about bitcoins now, than five years ago, and that is how it will continue to be, that is more people knowing and hearing about bitcoins until there is no one left without knowledge of bitcoins. The duration it will take for it to be achieved will be determined by how committed we are to letting people know. With more commitment, it should be achievable faster than expected.

Today will one day become the past also, and a reference point to the future.

The increment in the value of bitcoin is obviously benefits investors, but it is not without the other effects it can have on an investor.

Within the past week, the value of bitcoins have increased, and many investors may have been tempted to sell and take profit.

The increase in the value of bitcoin can make investors consider selling too early, responding to the impulse of selling to take profit even when they have no serious needs that require money and could have stayed on the market longer.

Nigeria also faces this impending doom with how much debt that the country is into. Bad leaders borrowing just for any reason when Nigeria is so blessed that we should be the country lending to other countries.

Nigeria is indebted to China heavily, then France, India, Germany, Japan.

As at March 2023, Nigeria owes $5.16Billion, higher than the figures from December 2022 where it was still $5.07billion.

Nigeria owes China - $4.34bn
France - $593.75m
Germany - $144.75m
Japan - $62.02m
India - $26.64m

The lesson from FTX and SBF has already been learnt that it is never safe to store and safe bitcoins on an exchange. The victims should try to move on with the lessons learnt because recovery will only happen on a slim chance. I cannot say for sure that the justice system works all the time and in all cases, because sometimes the justice system favors the high and very connected and SBF seems to be in that category.

There is a halving coming, the best choice as someone who lost to SBF should be to pick themselves up, dust themselves and try to start gathering more bitcoins for next year, this time they can do it correctly.

I have not gotten anything weird with bitcoins but I have seen weird things that people accept bitcoins for.

On reddit, I have read stories of how a reddittor had a chat with another reddittor that told him he met a vendor for drugs on reddit and the vendor only accepted crypto for payment so they can maintain their anonymity. I find this weird.

I was in top 10 at some point in the season, then moved to top 20, but now in top 30. I have had a series of bad weeks and I am trying to learn as fast as I can since it is my first season playing. I hope for better weeks because right now I have many players injured and not performing well at all, I cannot replace them all because in addition to the free transfers, I will loose more points to replace them.

I will do my best to see the changes I can make, so as to change the direction of my movement in the ranking table from bottom to top.
