841  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Don't Rush Whenever Posting: Cross Check and Edit before Hitting the post Button on: October 15, 2023, 07:39:23 AM

Getting to preview your post write up before posting it cannot make you dictate your spelling error. I feel the preview button is more important when adding other tags (code, links, image etc) asides from just normal write up in order to get an actual glimpse of how your post will be when published.
The more reason and cause of the spelling errors should be the autocorrect function enabled in phones and also when users are typing too fast than the little the brain can give out at a time can also cause it.
I have been able to dictate and prevented spelling errors in my post while previewing it and i am now more used to the preview because of this, I always make sure i read my post to the end before posting it. The preview is also important when adding tags, smileys and links as you mentioned but all the same, the preview helps us to prevent any kind of mistake before publishing it.

No one like to type slow and i even use it to improve my typing speed so every time i am typing I always want to be as fast as i can and since it’s normal to make typing errors i make use of the preview button to make sure i correct any mistakes.

We have to imagine some life mystery as we are living, have you asked yourself of investment profit and investment loss. The mystery is behind the both when it occurs. Right now I'm thinking to myself of my investment and if only investment i have is bitcoin, and when I'm no more who will manage my bitcoin investment and how will my family know about my bitcoin investment, when  I was ill, I was asking myself series of questions in my mind.
It’s normal to worry about who inherits your money and properties when you have money because we can’t live forever but when bitcoin is your only asset it is a different case because unlike properties bitcoin requires you to entrust its keys and seed phrase to someone whom you trust and believe would not take advantage of your trust because when it is about money it is difficult to trust people, money is so tempting and can make even someone you trust do betray you.

Who manages your bitcoins investments is left for you to decide, they are your family and only you know them so well so it is your decision to entrust someone with your seed phrase because if you fail to do so no one will be able to access your assets and your bitcoins will be lost forever.

> should I show my family my seed phrase ?
> If I die who will take over my bitcoin since nobody knows my seed phrase?
Only you can decide about that, all we can do here is advise you on how you go about it.

I don’t advise you do that just yet, i think you should select just a few number you trust the most because with more number of people the possibility of you being targeted will be higher. You can’t trust all your family members except if maybe you are married and not much in the family.

So I'm asking if it will be good to show any of your family person your seed phrase or should we keep having the secret of your seed phrase personal.
You should definitely show it to someone you trust so much or maybe leave a note well explained about it somewhere they can easily find in case.

It seems that Chelsea's resurgence is set to face a rigorous test. Arsenal isn't a weak team this season, especially after their victory against Man City; they are now considered contenders for a top-three finish in the EPL. Personally, I remain somewhat skeptical of Chelsea's comeback – can they truly conquer Arsenal? I'm not entirely convinced.

Arsenal appears to be in solid form while Chelsea is still in the recovery phase. Without underestimating Chelsea, I believe Arsenal might have a relatively easier time prevailing over Chelsea in the 9th-week match. However, it would be quite surprising if Chelsea manages to put up a significant challenge against Arsenal. Regardless of the outcome, any result will boost Chelsea's confidence in their comeback efforts.
Can Chelsea conquer Arsenal?
I think this is a question we can only find out that day. It will be an interesting derby match, the two teams are currently highly spirited after their wins before going on the international break and i wish they could have played the match before going into the break as the momentum will still be fresh. The two teams have improved in their game and i think Chelsea is the most improved and I expect to see Chelsea doing what Arsenal did to Manchester City winning them after a long time. Chelsea have always lose to Arsenal since 2021 and i think they would be more spirited to break the unbeaten run despite Arsenal being in the form of their lives.

I think it will be a tight match that could end as a draw but I don’t think it would be a goalless draw. Chelsea would definitely put up a good fight even if they end up losing the match.

Manchester United don't have a good attacking line, only Hojlund is good and he play in center forward position. Mitoma is a left winger, unfortunately Rashford is a left winger too, Ten Hag will not replace him because he know Rashford has a big name and he will get criticized to replace with Mitoma.

But I agree with you he will become a substitute player in Manchester City because every players in this team is top tier.
Hojlund has been a good addition to the team, he plays with passion and so much energy, he is still good on the ball and can also score goals. Manchester United has always complained about not having a striker and now that have a decent one all other players have been playing woefully the rest attackers are not helping matters. The whole team is in bad shape and the team is struggling and Rashford who has always held the team up when they are in bad shape is also struggling, the team entirely needs to wake up and i think the coach is the problem thats why there is problem in almost all the positions.

With Mitoma’s quality I doubt if he would struggle at united, if he joins United he can make a difference and gives Hojlund the support he needs and Rashford can also play as a right winger and with Mitoma as a competition it could help Rashford to improve his game. With Hojlund, Rashford and Mitoma we could see a different Manchester United.

I say make I bring this mata come here make we discuss. I wan hear our different opinions on how we fit stop this menace. We no be strangers to the dangers wey tanker wey dey carry fuel come get accident dey cause. The issue of bad roads nah another thing to consider and also, sometimes carelessness of the driver becos him go dey drive like say nah sports car him dey use.

But where the gbese dey nah on how people go dey rush to go collect fuel wey dey spill, not minding the possible danger to life wey if small spark happen, dem fit roast.
Recent incidence wey happen for Ondo state of how tanker wey dey carry fuel get accident and people go rush to pack fuel, e no end well as 15 people kpai for the ensuing explosion wey take place not too long after..

Some go say na due to the fuel scarcity nai make them rush, others go say dis na opportunity to take get money after them sell am, but my question be say how we fit stop out loved ones from this sort of risky movement? You feel say our government dey partly to blame or nah just lack of common sense dey worry us so??
Because say we no get money no mean say we no go get sense na, for  this one me i feel say na just lack of common sense. People wey lose their lives now how dem wan take go sell the fuel wey dem go de fight for now, as dem don die so na another person go still carry that fuel wey dem die for go sell now so to me na just lack of common sense and love wey dem no get for their own life. People need understand say without life everything wey we de fight for no get meaning again and even as government de fuck upwe still need to apply common sense to somethings wey we de do. If government do their work con repair roads some of the accidents wey de occur no go de happen and something’s might have been prevented but as God don write am so say Nigeria no go don get better leader no mean say make we go de risk our lives for unnecessary places.

I believe say na pray we go fit de pray for our loved ones make God de protect them make dem no go land themselves for situation like this wey go take their lives and make we de pray make Nigeria beta so that at least some of these things no go de happen again. And for all this Tanker drivers wey de drive recklessly make God de protect us and our loved ones from them because their mata don tire everybody and nothing we fit tell dem make dem de drive with sense, i even hear say most of the times dem de de drunk as dem de drive sef.
Our lives are too precious to risk over unnecessary things.

You're right, mate. I agree with you regarding Manchester City's horrible injury situation. Their failure without Kevin De Bruyne has been difficult. Kevin seems to drive that middle, no? They have so many injuries that appears like they sold their souls to the devil and are now hurt everywhere.
If you talk of injury crisis I don’t think you should call a team like Manchester City because Kevin De Bruyne is the only relevant player who is missing out, they have Haaland, Grealish, Bernado and Foden all available so I wouldn’t refer to them as a team experiencing injury crisis. De Bruyne is the only creative player in the team that’s why they find it difficult to penetrate opponents and score goals and even the almighty Haaland is struggling to have a decent game because the only creative player in the team is not available. Without any creative player thy will continue to suffer until De Bruyne returns from injury.

I hope Tottenham will become a champion in this season because this will make Harry Kane regret and it will be a good reward for Son to keep staying for 8 years without inactive. If Richarlison could back to his good performance in Brazil, Tottenham would be one of strongest team. It's true they're currently in the top position, but most people think it's just a fluke.
I doubt if that could happen, it’s not impossible but it will be difficult to see them win the league. Winning the league takes consistency and also it requires having a squad depth that can replicate the performance of the starting lineup in case any player suffers from injury. With the look of things I don’t think there is a substitute player that can replace Son perfectly and replicate his performance in case he suffers any injury, the same goes for Bissouma, Romero and Maddison. If any of these players suffers any sort of injury the team will drop in performance and if that happens they will easily miss out in the title race because the season will be tough and challenging.

I hope they can maintain the momentum till the end of the season, they have tried enough to win a trophy these past seasons so let’s hope they can make their dream come true this season.

As a new member in the forum it is always advised for them to learn before posting and almost every day on the forum you will see posts telling newbies to focus on learning about the forum properly before they start posting but most of them just ignore all the advice, they are just being eager to post and earn merits and clearly it shows that OP didn’t take his time properly to study all these because they are being explained on sticky threads you will find around the forum.

It’s normal not to understand all these as a newbie and with time you will understand it all but i am disappointed everytime newbies rush into posting without understanding so much after all the advice being given everyday. I think what you need to do is to firstly understand how to search the forum just as other members did to provide you with the information you needed, when you understand that you will be able to search for things you don’t understand easily and when you find it difficult to comprehend then you can ask questions for better explanations and understanding

Some of the challenges I face are
ability to use quotes perfectly
ability to quote two users at the same time
ability to add images even after being promoted to Jr member of the forum.
just read on the links provided to you they will help you to understand better and don’t forget to learn how to use the search function so you can find topics easily about things you don’t understand.

That’s just how it is as you spend more time on the forum you will be getting used to it more and more and almost every high rank member here never believed they could get there also and when they got their first merits they were also joyous about it so it is natural for you to feel like this. Just keep up your effort and don’t relent until when receiving merits becomes a normal occurrence and in no time you will be surprised how far you have moved in rank. I can see you have earned enough merits to move to the next rank (Member rank) but you still lack enough Activity to activate the rank, in a couple of weeks you will join others in wearing the Member rank badge.  Grin

Congratulations on your achievement bitcointalk loves you too.

One several occasions I have been trying able to grab a substantial amount in cash out from my current casinos stake and this have to be properly calculated and if you must profits from this cash-out feature then you have to be very calculative enough to be able to make something significant more so it helps not to lose the entirstsked amount in a situation where the current game result is already negative against you as the gambler.

More again one needs to be very active in both the casinos and watching the live matches because that is the way you can easily walk your way around it to be able to arrive at a good position either taking profits or cutting losses.

Most of the time,  be for I use any sport bookie,  I first of all check to see if their have cash out the feature before I register,  I try as much as possible to avoid casino that doesn't allow cash out in their sports bet session.

You are right that using the cashouts feature will allow you to earn some money, but you must be very strategic and anticipate when the feature will work in your favour. No matter how analytical you are, you can only take gains that are significantly lower than your potential winning when using the cash out feature  to cut losses or take profits.

I can only speak for myself, but I don't think I'll use the cash out feature any longer because I don't think the profit is worthwhile, and if I lose the game, it wasn't my fault because I already consider the money I bet as money lost and no longer in my plans.

I have come across such users that do request for your phone number for swift payment and never have I sent them my number because I truly do not see how my phone number will hasten the transaction process.
I have also come across them numerous times and had a little chat with a buyer once about how improper it is to ask for sellers numbers but the answer he gave me was understandable, he said most times he don’t even have to make use of the numbers but just incase there is an issue with the banking system or probably when the seller is delaying in completing the trade or not responding to the messages sent in the chat box but it’s really not necessary as the trade can be completed at any time. Scammers can use this at their own advantage to track their victims.

Sure you can be talented, even with all that he still managed to make a great career out of himself, but if he was a focused hard working player he could have been as good as anyone in the world. Unfortunately he didn't play like that and this resulted with him not being as good. Still a good life, definitely a worthy life, tens of millions of euros for a game he likes to play.
Hazard only made one transfer to the appropriate team but couldn’t succeed but everyone just labels him a failure, they fail to see how entertaining he was during his peak at Chelsea. He was the major reason chelsea stood out as a big club then and every team was scared to face chelsea because of him. He helped chelsea a lot and after so many years it was only right for him to play in a bigger team and to win more trophies and achievements for himself it’s just sad he didn’t succeed after he left chelsea. We enjoyed his game and he will forever be remembered as a great player.

Nah, even Hazard was still on Chelsea, I believe it's nothing different like his career in Real Madrid because in terms of quality, both Chelsea and Real Madrid are two strong clubs.
You fail to understand something about football, when you move out to another club everything will be different because all teams have different pattern and style of play, the players will also be different so a player will need time to adapt to these changes, then think of moving to a different country where you were bought for a high price definitely there would be a lot of pressure and they wouldn’t understand that you are still struggling to adapt to their system so I disagree with you, if Hazard was to continue playing for Chelsea the story would have been different because he wouldn’t go through any pressure and wouldn’t need to adapt to any changes because he was already settled at Chelsea he was a star and the most valuable player for the club. His career would’ve been perfect had he not moved out of Chelsea.

This feature of cashing out balance is the reason why I choose Stake over other casinos since its cashout features have helped me to take profits in bets a lot of times.
Cashing out and taking profits is not a bad idea at all it’s helps recover your staked amount and probably a little profit from the game but these casinos are so good that they will still weigh the game and the possible outcome and will never never let you cashout a reasonable amount. There was a time in my early gambling days when i was never lucky and experienced a long losing streak, i played a parley bet just as the friend of OP did and after multiple selections my game was moving just as planned so all games entered so i was left with just one game to go so i got scare and didn’t want to experience another loss so I decided to cashout and take profits just as you said but little did i know that it would have been the end of my losing streak. I cashed out 7k in my local currency where I would have won 35k, the game later ended as I predicted i was so angry with myself and since then I vowed never to cashout no matter what since I already have in mind that any money I gamble with is money i can afford to lose.
854  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trade only Bitcoin on: October 12, 2023, 05:46:33 AM
Trading is a lifetime skill that is always beneficial if you know what you are doing, the biggest mistake of traders is trading alt that most times doesn't obey market structure,
when it comes to cryptocurrency, trade only Bitcoin.
Bitcoin doesn't just give you profit, it gives you security, it obeys market structure, for the past 2yrs I have been trading, I only have losess only when I trading Alt, price action trading I utilize will trading always gives me result when trading Bitcoin, but when it comes to Alt I really do feel as if am gambling, so my fellow traders, trade only Bitcoin, I don't know if anyone feel the same way?
It is so important to know what you are doing when you want to engage in trading, you need to be knowledgeable about it else you will just end up losing money. This is the mistake most newbies make, they don’t seek advise from people first they just jump into trading with the mindset that they also want to make money just as others are making money. Trading skill once acquired is a life time skill that is helpful as long cryptocurrency is still in existence.
I agree bitcoin gives you security but just as it is beneficial trading alts can also be beneficial but they are not as secure as bitcoin. When trading bitcoin you can also encounter losses as well but of all cryptocurrencies it is the best option when trading or Hodling. Bitcoin is simply the best of all cryptocurrencies to work with.
855  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop discouraging Newbies from Bitcoin... on: October 12, 2023, 05:20:26 AM
Why is it that everytime a newbie shows his or her interest in trading Bitcoin, some people will always try to discourage the newbie?  You see them saying things like “Bitcoin trading is not for newbies”

None of us here was born a professional trader, fact is that we all had to start from somewhere. We were all once a newbie, until we started learning and putting in the work.
It’s not discouragement it’s and advice. This forum is a place where the members look out for one another and also they give you the best advice that will help you most especially in the long run. Most of the members have gone through dismissal situations and have made mistakes in the past so they are only advising newbies so they don’t make the same mistakes they did.

I have never seen or read something like trading is not for newbies rather they only advise them not to jump into trading and make sure to have knowledge about it first because most newbies will think trading is easy and doesn’t involve any risk and since people are making profits they would also make the same profits. Nobody was born as an expert true, but we seek knowledge first before we become an expert. Even with all the advice in the end they still need to decide on their own.

So when you see a newbie ask for advice on how to start up on their journey in Bitcoin trading, don't try to discourage them, rather give them the advice on how they can start, and also let them be aware of the risks and how to avoid it. If we must grow the community, then we have to learn to encourage everyone to get along, and not try to discourage them.
With the risk involved in trading they should not just rush into trading because it will not end well for them, they will end up losing a lot of money. Trading requires knowledge and even experts can not safely say they are going to make profit even with all the knowledge they acquired.
856  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler avoiding friends after a big win. on: October 11, 2023, 02:22:48 PM
The saying "Money reveal people" is quite common. I usually don't believe this phrase, and I used to imagine that friends would always have nice intentions towards one another, but I later realised that this is not true because life is full of diverse individuals, each with their own personalities and viewpoints.

It's best to never expect anything from anyone because everyone is out for themselves. This kind of behaviour is nothing new to me anymore, and whenever there are three friends, I usually anticipate one of them to have such an attitude. Why should you be surprised if it occurs amongst friends when it has even happened between blood brothers? When you put expectations on people all you will get from them disappointments so i have learned to live on my own and not expect much from people.
857  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: October 11, 2023, 02:06:13 PM
How will you feel if someone you know or just a friend of a friend walk up to you and ask you to finance them in gambling in exchange for a portion of their winnings? Does this even make any sense?
It’s not a bad idea to me if i cross check the games and they look ambitious to me I wouldn’t mind to finance them  because blessings can come from an unexpected source in disguise so I would try it out since i will also have a portion of the money if he wins.

Because the only place this makes a bit sense is the skills base niche like forex trading or crypto trading, how can gambling/gambler be financed?
All of the above including gambling are based on luck. Forex and crypto trading are even more riskier and require huge amount to finance. I have someone who wanted to introduce me to forex some while ago but i lost interest when he told me i need a $100 start up capital which is a huge amount in my country, where would i get such amount from but in gambling with an amount as little as $5 - $10 you can finance a person in gambling.

Someone explained this to me, and I believe he is already a victim because to me it doesn't make sense, I believe he is been used because he lacks knowledge about gambling, do you think my judgment is wrong?
I don’t see it as been used, if he trusts the person not to lie to him about it ending as a loss after he actually won just to runaway with the winning amount. I have seen people run such a thing on multiple occasions and they usually don’t have any problem with one another. Before you engage in this kind of deals you just need to trust the person so much or you have to have understanding about gambling and be present while he stakes the money so you will know the potential amount to win and also on your end you need to follow up the games so he doesn’t lie to you about any of the games.

I have also done this a couple of times without any problem and if someone comes to me to finance them in gambling in exchange for a portion of the winning i will do so if i trust the person but also i will tell them to make use of my gambling account to stake the games.
858  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 11, 2023, 11:51:44 AM
Regarding Chelsea vs Arsenal, I can’t envisage Chelsea getting anything from the game. Arsenal have momentum now and that’s so important. Chelsea have players that could hurt Arsenal but they’re just a bit of a mess at the moment, unless they really raise their game, all I see is an Arsenal win.
You can’t conclude anything yet until you see the result of the match because the same momentum Arsenal have is the same momentum Chelsea also have currently, in all competitions Chelsea have now won their last 3 games and it’s also something they can hold on to. Their highly spirited currently and their midfield and defense have improved massively and stable, even the attack is a bit stronger than they started the season.

You can’t write Chelsea off just yet but judging from past games against Arsenal they have not won a match against Arsenal since 2021 but that could be enough reason for Chelsea to put up a good fight to end their losing streak against Arsenal so I don’t expect the match to be easy for Arsenal as you all think.
859  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Understanding Bitcoin's 'Magic Bytes' and Transaction Security on: October 11, 2023, 09:16:45 AM
Magic bytes are short strings of numbers and letters that are used to distinguish between distinct messages transmitted by various network nodes. The same magic bytes are usually used to start messages transmitted to or received from a given node, making it simple to determine which node you are connected to and which message was delivered to you. However, these magic bytes vary depending on the network you are connected to.

Since they are merely message indicators, I don't see how they may be utilised improperly, but if there appears to be a mistake, the other node won't be able to understand the message, where it starts or ends.

Above me are link provided where you can learn more about magic bytes for proper understanding.

I read this sentence "There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future."
Is there any way of knowing how much sMerits are decayed of mine and others too? And how it works?
The sMerits decay only of inactive members or active members too?
The sentence is a reminder to some people who would want to accumulate as many sMerit as they can just for their personal gain, I don’t even see how it will be of benefit to them because hoarding sMerits will not increase your Merit. They are letting you know that they have rights to decay used sMerit in case you notice your unused sMerits are gone you should not complain about it.

There could be a specified number of years it could be before decaying sMerit which i think is known to the admin alone. No one can see your sMerit so only can know if your sMerit is being decayed though i have never heard or seen someone complain about their sMerit being decayed. Just don’t keep sMerits to yourself so they don’t end up being decayed because the term “future” could mean any time which only the admins know how long.
