861  Economy / Economics / Re: Teaching My Nephews About Wealth Through the Game of Monopoly on: September 10, 2023, 12:15:58 PM
I am thinking about teaching my nephews about wealth in a fun way through the game of Monopoly. I haven't gotten any better way to teach them about money and wealth aside this. I think so because of the lessons embedded in the game which includes,

(a) to build wealth, you need to own assets an not liabilities

(b) to build wealth,never put all your eggs in one basket. Always diversify your investment portfolio.

(c) to build wealth, you must  have proper and strong financial management strategies. Anyone who wants to be wealthy must learn how to manage their money, make the right investment and be able to pay off their debts.

(d) to build wealth you should be able to think strategically. Having a long term thinking in mind will enable you to make better decisions.

(f) to build wealth, you must have a well thought out risk management strategy in place.

(g) to build wealth, you cannot overlook the role that patience plays. Wealthy people are very patient people. They know when to make a move and when to hold on. They they understand that true wealth isn't built overnight but through years of hardwork.

These are some of the financial and wealth lessons that I think that my nephews can learn from playing the game of Monopoly. I am opened to your recommendations for other types of games that can be a great alternative or addition to this game as a fun way to teach kids about wealth.

All this is possible to achieve and transfer to a young kiddie but the reality of life speaks differently depending in your financial status, financial buoyancy and how stabilized the economy is in your country. Let's look at some of your point and see how it can fits into some reality. Let's start with the first point.

To build the wealth, you need more assets than liability: There is no any other point that beats this one, you need to gather assets to be financially ahead of the game but some economics has made us to understand that you need some liability to achive more success. For instance, having a fancy car is regarded as liability but the truth is, there are some business you do that requires packaging in other to win some big deals in business, the way you package or dress, that's how they address you. There are some business meeting you will want to have a deal, you appearance always determined how big you will have your cake cut else they will downsize the amount you ought to be paid. You need liability to make more aseets in some situations.

In some countries, they don't have cheap transportation, so car is a good assets because having your own means of transportation are cheaper compare to where you have to order Uber and other means of transportation that are too costly to pay, when you have your own ride at the end of the day, the cost wouldn't be too difference.

So, I what am I saying, your points are valid but theoretical because in reality, the way they work are different from place to place, they are only perfect in a good working environment that are developed with healthy standard of living.
862  Economy / Economics / Re: Stable coin or having USD in bank on: September 10, 2023, 11:52:37 AM
If you have your money in banks, you do jot have the complete control. If you save stable coins, most of them are centralized and you do not have complete control and they can fall out of peg and be lesser than the money they are pegged with they become. Example of the pegged coin was Terra Classic USD (UST) which was $1 before but now $0.01186444

If bitcoin price have increased, I can decide to convert some to USD or stable coin. Which one is better? Or is there other alternative which can be comparable with bitcoin in a way it would be independent and having full control characteristic.

There's no stablecoin that is safe, just that they have different degree of risk when you compare all of them. We have had several of them and more are still coming to the market but first we have to look at each of them:

Centralized stablecoin: This one's are pegged to a dollar bill and other assets like treasury bills that can be converted with stressing the liquidity behind them but often times, the companies behind these stablecoins (USDT, USDC, BUSD and many more) are not free from regulatory scrutiny, BUSD for example has fallen and it's still fallen down because Binance which is the face of the company is duelisting the pairs and have instructed customers to convert them to other stablecoins on the exchange.

Decentralized stablecoin: This is a decentralized stable currency that is pegged to the amount of a dollar and the advantage of this is that is open source which means people get to see what is happening and how it's regulated and users can even deposit a asset to take DAI. There are many of these stable coins that are been launched but protocol manipulation made them fold up before time.

My suggestion is this: If you are going for centralized ones, pick USDT and if you need a decentralized stablecoin to trust and have high peace of mind to others, go for DAI instead.

My friend Will send goverment wich one i don't say the project to start teaching young kids in School about future of Money.like TRON USDT TRC20
Crypto is future when Youngi generation will start learn about Stablecoins.
Teach all ready your kids to keep their trx balance up If they want to pay with USDT tron Stablecoins.
Once young generaton will adopt Stablecoins knowledge we get to going and rock.
Stablecoins are here to stay and Donald trump Will approve them for the. World.

So young people need to be teached how to use USDT USDC and other Stablecoins it's our duty to teach them so faster they adopt the faster all move into Full crypto economy

If you think stablecoin adoption for young kids is the way to make them wake with economic and finances then you don't understand stabcoins. If you want stablecoins that badly, then what is the difference between stablecoins and it's transaction with you fiat(dollars) and invoices? Is there much different, has that change the economy so far, I don't because it's the same thing that is been circulate over the years, stablecoin is not what you need to get your kids ready but understanding the financial system of the government and how to escape it by investing early on yourself.

You can choose to gift your child some stablecoin and to keep it for years until they become of age but by that time, the stable coin will worth penny by the time they come of age, they will not have much to buy with it but if you have invested it and keep it for them, if they see how it appreciate over the years, they will grow with that confidence for the rest of their life, they will appreciate you for that route and gift because not every child get financial advice at their young age and that turnouts to be a problem when they grow.

I wouldn't be selective with investment for your child but in anything you do, include bitcoin for them, not necessarily only bitcoin but add a fraction of it to see how important it will be for them in the future because you are starting something big for them.
864  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Only good coins are listed on top exchange? on: September 09, 2023, 01:05:47 PM
No way Roll Eyes
The listing fees of the best exchanges are huge, so any project can be listed for money and it is not the best coin for that.
Moreover one should not rush to invest after seeing the listing on a good exchange because the development of the project will be more dependent on an investor.

There are many coins that get delisted from good exchanges because their volume decreases and investors decrease, the main reason being poor development progress.

There are terms that follow listing of a coin or a token. However, the agreement are hidden from the public for the best between the exchange and the project owners and there is one that was explained by a YouTuber that: If after listing ya coin and it doesn't get traded and volume decline, there is a period it will reach that it will be delisted after informing the team because there are more projects outside that are trending which other exchanges are listing, the exchange will want to list that too have share of the trading fees but due to too much listing, they have to let's go of the inactive pairs.

In addition, listing comes with a fee and rules that have to be followed, like the fees, setting compensation for traders that participate in their trading competition, Airdrop for deposit to compensate people that Airdrop their token to the exchange; all of this are to boost liquidity and make the coin or token to trend and with this, the exchange get more trading fees in return as revenue for the exchange.

But there are tokens that are listed on top exchange without requesting for any fees. Some of these tokens were listed during bull run due to hype and fear of missing out on them, some exchanges listed it because people want it and also they don't want to miss the fees as well, they don't want their customers to live the exchange for another just for a coin they want to trade, this type of listing don't require any fees as they are done on the discretion of the exchange.
865  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Coinbase launch a native coin/token for Base? on: September 09, 2023, 12:46:50 PM
As the title says, do you think Coinbase will launch its own coin/token for the Base network? If not, why? Considering that Coinbase is one of the world's largest crypto exchanges, it could directly compete with Binance's own Blockchain network dubbed "Binance Chain" (with BNB as its native token). The momentum is building for the Base chain, especially when it has the backing of the Optimism Foundation. If Coinbase doesn't launch its own token, it could lose the ability to collect fees from the network and profit from it. Maybe the reason for this is because they're afraid that the SEC might accuse them of launching an "unregistered security"? It would be nice to have an airdrop where early adopters of the platform get rewarded for testing it.

What are your thoughts? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Smiley

I have missed feelings about basechain plans and how they quick to rush and announced that they are launching a typical chain without token but we all know that Coinbase alone cannot be a validator and the nodes and they Can't afford to pay the independent nodes and validators in another payment if they really want to keep the blockchain decentralized as possible. That said.

There have been increased in lots of activities on their base chain recently, which means people are using the chain and testing it to strain it to some levels. If those values are true, then there is something people knows privately that the rest of the public don't know. It possible that people are giving it shot for potential Airdrop because that's what has been happening over the new blochains that are been launched over some months now, it's possible that a coin will be launch or people who are using the chain are probably speculating one to be later launch in the future.

What I think about the chain from beginning is Coinbase want their chain to be clean and free from spam transactions, early testers are known for spammy transactions to get lots of shares when it comes to Airdrop, hence the reason why they say to the public of no coins. A company like Coinbase launching a blockchain will attract lots of attention and I say it's a good strategy to make it clean from the beginning. With time, they will launch their own coin or may be during the next bull run.
866  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SIM SWAP ATTACK: THE OLD CRYPTO SCAM METHOD REAWAKENED on: September 09, 2023, 11:17:05 AM
SIM swap attack is a process through which a 3rd party gets an authorized access to your phone number, giving them access to your calls and messages on the SIM card.
SIM swap attack is an old scam trick current reigning again as a means of stealing from cryptocurrency investors' or traders' exchange account of those using their phone number as the authenticator to sign into their accounts.
It is reported that over $13M worth of cryptocurrency assets have been stolen from about 50 people just in 2023.

The scammers swap or steal your phone number from you to gain access to your cryptocurrency account and steal your fund.

How to protect yourself from such an attack includes
1. Keeping your funds in an uncompromised personal, non-custodial or hard wallet.
2. Use an app based 2FA authenticator like Auth, google authenticator, aegis and so on
3. Enable a SIM card PIN protecting your SIM card from getting accessed without your consent.

Stay safe.

There is an increased theft of sim, mostly to target people. When scammers knows that you are into crypto, they will target you as they will feel that you have one or two security patch with your phone number. This is why phone numbers are the littlest options to secure centralized exchanges or anything that has to do with your sim card. I think there are apps like Authy, not to be confused with google authy because Google Authy stored your security pin to google icloud while the other(AUTHY) doesn't do all of that, just your mobile number required for an account.

Number 3 doesn't gurantee anything. Some sim swap hackers sometimes have insider person inside telecommunication companies, so even if you used PIN on your sim, they can get your pin reset if the company has bad actors that jointly carryout this operations. The best solution to this is to disengage from using mobile number for extra security because you don't know a day that you may misplaced your phone without switching it off, your sim access without pin requirement if it doesn't switched off before they got it.
867  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What happened to Crypto Volatility..??? on: September 09, 2023, 07:39:52 AM
So i've been a trader since early 2017 and i have never seen such low volatility in market. Even at the time of 2018 bear run the things were quite slow but this time its totally different. It makes a move and consolidates for like a month or two now. Which was never the case in past.

Its possible that only i feel like that and other people still see it like the normal bitcoin trend. But there was fun every week in crypto before.

What do you guys think ?? Is it just me or some of you others feel the same??

And if it is like that then what do you all think when the wild ride start again like old days ??


It's not a big deal, this has happened countless times, nobody want to lose both the bears and the bulls, everyone is taking caution to avoid been liquidated. If you observe carefully, you will notice that when the market is idle for about a week without any tangible moves, you will see a sudden spike upward  especially when the price stays above the support for some while and when the price shut up a candle, after sometime again, it will get nuke and shutdown another red candle to come back and sit in the previous support; this happened a lot of times when traders want to liquidate one another when there is not any news.

What I think about this low volatility is uncerntainty, when the bulls and the bears are unsure of the next news that will come out for bitcoin, the market tends to always behave like that for a while even upto weeks without any significant moves; I believe if there is good news or bad news, the market knows how to make moves naturally without forcing it to move.
868  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When Trading becomes Unfavourable on: September 08, 2023, 09:48:21 AM
What do you mean change trading plans? If you initially determined a trading strategy for yourself and know how you will act, then what can you change? Let's say you entered a trade and you know at what price you will take profits, everything is clear here. You also know at what level you need to set your stop loss so that the losses are minimal. If you trade without stop losses, then not everything will depend on you, and perhaps in this case you will have to change and come up with something when your losses reach significant values.
I personally have gone out of plans several times that I have made myself in trading. Usually the strong reason that makes me change my trading plan is when bad or good news suddenly appears. Or fundamental news that will have a big impact on market movements. Like initially I will take profits at a certain level at first. but there is good news that could impact the hike higher. So I will shift my profit target. And change the previous profit target to stop loss plus. that's also something I recently learned from someone and it works well.

That is why I used to tell people that it's more easy to make money in trading as a fundemantal trader than Technical trader, you need to expert in both analysis to make profits but you need more of fundamental to survive in trading. There are many instances where traders believe too much on technical analysis and neglect the fundamnetal, doing this or practicing this is the fastest way to go broke in trading or go zero if things unfold fastly.

However, there instances where technical lead the fundamental, this is the period where good news or bad news don't happen, the global trend of the market decide where the asset go for that particular time in real time.

Bitcoin hodling might be underrated but if you are hodling sufficient number of bitcoin, you’ll end up an instant billionaire in the future. So I don’t think hodling alone does not maximize the potentials of bitcoin. However, with bitcoin trading, people know that the profits are more promising and tempting, but hey, trading is never easy and it needs close to perfection skills and trading expertise so you can be profitable on it. Otherwise, you are only wasting your money in trading when you consistently trade without knowledge and skills being honed.

The easiest way to maximize profits is by trading Bitcoin and not holding in my opinion, there is power in making more profits in what you control than leting it stay idle and with that, market players will play with your profits. As a trader, when you make profits, it's already in the bag and whatever the market does after that is not of your concern, if its slight down further, it will not affect your value as you have already convert it to profit but if you are holding, you don't get to claim the profit and it can go up or down or may even go down below where it was purchased.

Just imagine buying bitcoin when it was around $4,5k and you patiently hold it to all time high of bitcoin but refuse to sell and now that the price is now $26k, there is still good profit IMO but not good strategy; A smart trader will have exited the market around $50k+ and then buy back again and with this, you can have more bitcoin in your posession.

Every team in Group F is very strong. Milan, Dortmund, Newcastle and PSG each have an equal chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds. It is impossible to predict which two teams will advance to the next round. PSG will certainly be at the top of the discussion. PSG have the best chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds if they can continue their performance. Because there are many star players in PSG's squad. Now waiting to see Luis Enrique's match strategy. I think PSG and Milan are the most likely to qualify for the knockout round. Because these two teams have more experience in the Champions League. The performance of the Dortmund team is now very erratic. I don't think they will be able to do much in the Champions League this year.
I also think Milan and PSG will qualify for the next round. but in the Champions League we can see many surprises happening. Even teams that are not favorites can also have a chance to qualify.
Dortmund and Newcastle are experiencing a decline in performance in the league. they were inconsistent at the start of this season, but we can learn from Sevilla last season in the Europa League. those who don't stand out in the domestic league are in fact very strong in the Europa League.
I don't mean to compare these two different competitions. obviously the Champions League has tougher competition. but I think there will be many surprises in this group phase of the Champions League.

Dortmund and Newcastle are not different in perfomance and that's make thm vulnerable in their next matches in the group stage, while PSG and Milan are currently looking good in their domestic leagues, other two teams are not the kind of regular teams like Sevilla, PSV and Lens that might not do well, the start of the season is the only thing showing the resilience of these teams, by the time pressure starts to mount on teams, Dortmund or Newcastle might surprise us in the end.

Group F might be hot in the eyes of everyone but that doesn't mean we shoul forget group A and C, I'm more concern about my Real Madrid, Union Berlin and Napoli, these three are very hot, there is guarantee for Real Madrid to make it out of the group stage but not sure what Napoli and Berlin are going to do at the end because right now, Napoli are yet to activate their best, their domestic league still suck, perhaps they will change in the long run.

What's wrong with manchester united? Greenwood was leving the club caused by he had been getting so many protests due to his case. Antony is now facing the same stroy like him. What the hell was wrong with anthony?

It looks like he was being so aggresive toward woman which is an unbelievable thing. Will he go to the prison after greenword? Many people were mocking this club as prison FC.

Manchester united has not yet finished with the problem on its defensive line, tenhag potentially faces another problem caused by antony might be sued like greenwood.

There's something wrong with so many players on manchester united. Megurie is king of blunder, antony king of physical attack.  Cheesy Cheesy

Mason Greenwood was sidelined for months 14 months . Since investigations are ongoing Man United shoo learn from what happened to Mason and not dump one of their finest wingers. He hasn't been helpful on the field but he is still good and an edge for that right wing.
So much facing Man United and Ten Hag but how all these are handled brings about success or failure ahead.
This is another chance to see pellistri step and become the owner of that position for Man United. If Ronaldo was allowed to leave as part of the rebuild why is a player like Maguire who lacks confidence still intact.

What goes around will comes around, I don't understand players obssession with rape allegations, some could be fabricated lies which I understand but I think it's high time they all should learn from each other, there shouldn't be cases like this if players learn to control their third leg, if you reduce your lust towards women, you will obviously be ahead of them because after pressure, many of them don't have anything to offer than that, just empty brains that will cause you trouble.

If Greenwood was dismiss as a loan to Getafe just to take away attention of fans with the court case, what makes Antony so special because he is of their great winger, the is not specified and personal if the cases is presented to the court as reported by the media, then he deserves whatever Manchester United did to Mason Greenwood so that other players can learn their lessons and make sure that their third leg is been control and used when necessary.
872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 08, 2023, 07:34:17 AM
I don't think European teams should be too worried about the amount of money that these Saudi clubs are willing to spend, it is not as if the European clubs are losing the best players to Saudi, most of the players moving there are either above 30 or their time in Europe was already up, players like Haaland, Mbappe, Rodri, Saka, Bellingham, etc, can never think about Saudi Arabia. Quality/high level football will remain in Europe and nothing is about to change that.
You're right. Most the players who joined Saudi clubs are the old players or the players who can't get regular position on their clubs. So, they decide to move to SPL because they can be paid with big money and can play as main players in Saudi clubs. Actually, there is nothing wrong with the players who decided moving to SPL. But European teams mustn't feel so afraid, the players who are in the ideal ages to play aren't interested to move to Saudi clubs. They must prefer to stay in Europe because the European leagues are the most competitive leagues. Players who still care about the future of their career, they must play in the top leagues. So, it is true that Saudi clubs will have no power to sign Mbappe, Haaland, Bellingham, or other top young players.

Another talk without fact, I don't believe that my friend, reason why most of those players make a move to Saudi Pro League was due to some reasons they can't control. We all have seen how Chelsea were losing throughout last season and market values comes with what you have offered from your previous club and many of them had none, if I was the Chelsea fans that made a move to Chelsea with old age, I will also do the same and retire football quietly.

Take another look at the condition of Messi and Neymar maltreatment by fans when they were in PSG, even though Messi went to US to continue his jurney to ignore Saudi Arabia, Neymar doesn't have the same power like Messi, he joined the Saudi with great contract of 2 years which is not bad, better than PSG where he had to impress and go to several injuries, he just need to focus and put small energy and make it in Saudi Arabia and AL-Hilal thus far had good players before his arrival.

In addition to how Ronaldo was threated in Manchester United when he lost his child, when he was suspended and bench by Eric, when everyone were critizing him of been stubbon but look at where he is now, where there is peace for anyone, there is going to be great achievement.
873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: September 07, 2023, 05:10:10 PM
Well, Sevilla have started this season just as bad as they did last season, i don't know where you got the impression that they are performing very well, they have played three games in La Liga this season and they have lost all three of them and they are rooted in the bottom of the table.

Having said that, it is going to be somewhat difficult for Sevilla to make it out of Groub B in the CL, but their fans might not mind if they crash out and into the Europa league, because they have a knack of winning that competition.

Sevilla looks really good this season so far and i think they will go really far this season. In the champions league i think they will finally make a step forward and go into the knock out faze. They played maybe against teams on bottom but this is where you make easy points. Sevilla this year looks like top 4 team in the la liga

How mate? I mean how is Sevilla that is yet to win any match this season make it out group stage when other teams have made more than one or two win in their matches. I was impressed with them the last time they held Super cup with Manchester City which they played draw to final and then further proceed to extra time and then lost to Manchester City but since then, they haven't fallen into good shape, and I'm not sure if they are going to beat Atletico Madrid as well that are currently on 4th place on the table.

Performance change and improve actually but will Sevilla improved between now to 20 September to play their fort group match, that's a question that's hard to answer but observing that they will play against Lens that I s having poor performance in their domestic league will b an advantage to secure their first 3 points.
874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting Features on any Banking or Financial apps should be Removed on: September 07, 2023, 04:04:30 PM
Honestly, I hate it and I think that this feature should be removed so as to protect consumers from potential harm promote responsible financial practices and maintain the integrity of financial institutions. Bodies in charge of betting regulations should start here by establishing guidelines or restrictions prohibiting betting features within banking and financial apps. My submission is that betting features on any banking or financial apps should be removed to discourage compulsive gambling and irresponsible gambling. Do you agree with this perspective?
The above image is the UX for a mobile baking app in my country.

What has advantage also has a disadvantage and I bank apps are not different, this is Opay mobile bank app and what I love about them is the lightening transaction you get, there is currently no any app like Opay that is as fast as them and there customer support has improved a while now, unlike then when you have to run after them for a failed transaction.

The problem here is that betting companies are the ones that do partner with them, when you check the betting feature, you will found out that there are list of betting site they support which means they are like partnership to improve gaming and gambling. However, I think the company should know better that such UX could increase gambling addiction because they have lightening payment, very easy to deposit money into gambling platforms; there should be an option where it can be disabled or may be by default, it's shouldn't have appear there until the user wish to do so.

Another thing I found insecure about this feature is that any person close to you that knows your password can make use of the betting deposit without you the owner realizing they do it until you check your balance. People can even beg you to help them fund their betting site if they know that you use the app.
875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 07, 2023, 03:49:11 PM
They had a suboptimal start into the last season as well and there is no reason to be concerned just yet. Ten Haag against many expectations found the right twists last season to make the team play successful and I believe he can do it again. The quality in the team is there. It was also about Rashford last season that it took him a short while to find his best shape. If he can that, he is a priceless asset to the team. He can make the difference in many games, but yes for that he has to reach his maximum potential first.

Chelsea is like a coma patient. Everyone is patiently and excitedly wating for the patient called Chelsea to wake up. But they don't and by now I find that to be concerning and shocking somehow. I think when so much money is invested in players and anything else that is needed for success and it then fails, there must still be something that is going horribly wrong. But I couldn't give an answer if asked what that is. Pochettino? Is he to blame? I am not sure about that, but these results are no coincidence anymore. I thought they were coincidence when it started that they lost these crazy games against much weaker opponents, but now it is almost worth betting money on their opponents no matter who it is Tongue

What Manchester United need to do before things escalate is to make sure the players they in spotlight are free from different allegation from their spouse and girlfriend. Greenwood is already loan to Getafe and now, the dram don't circulate inside them completely but it seems Anthony is in another trouble with his wife. The more they get bad image of players, the more draw back they will have. They should learn from Manchester City on how they managed Mendy court case even when we know that they went to extreme without paying him his wages.

Regarding their performance, Manchester United didn't just have problem in it attackers, their defenders weren't focus enough. During that 90+ minutes match, they gave all their pressure to Arsenal and forgot that Onana and Dalot can't handle attack from Arsenal, that goal from Gabriel Jesus is humiliating and I hope they learn their lesson in the next match against Brighton, they shouldn't sleep because Brighton are deadly as well.

At this point, maybe Todd Boehly need to invite Guardiola for Chelsea on two weeks contract to help them in their style of play, if it's good players. Chelsea does have it but right now, TN only thing to blame is their style of play, I hope they are not turning into the next Arsenal of our generation, it all happened like joke until the series get to season 10.  Grin

Group F signifies ( Fire )  But, I'm convinced PSG would make it to the next level ( Round of Sixteen ). They have a coach with experience of winning the Champions League, not all these they've had in the past three years and counting. Now, all that need be is for him to get the  boys buzzing with great understanding.

With Messi and Neymar now out of the squad they will ave to take individual and group effort to win games. That can be achieved, with how they play during the weekends, they can also confidently do same when they play thr Champions League during the mid-week games.
Under Enrique's coaching I hope PSG can be more independent and as you said, they have to build a solid partnership. Without Messi and Neymar does not mean PSG is easy to beat. There is still a lot of potential at stake in the UCL so it will bring positive points for all PSG players. Dembele and Mbappe must build solidarity with each other. Even though Group F is a hellish group, I personally will really be looking forward to this match, especially the competition between the clubs in Group F.

I'm not sure if you notice, right before Messi came to PSG, Paris Sent German club always perform better even though they don't make it to the final but the season of 21/22 and 22/23 were not a successful season in the Champions League, the two season ended in the group of 16. I'm not sure if they are going to pass that stage this season without Messi but who will give them that Dimaria and Neymar incredible contribution, those 3 first forward really did some great work back then before the club turn to hate one, maybe Mbape will pull a good one this time for the club.

Forget about Messi, he is in MLS enjoying his time and the smile says all. I believe PSG performance has improved in their domestic league, no lost just draw and win. With this, if they replicate some good moves and take this current squad, they will go far but the final is what I don't guarantee actually.

Xavi Hernandez have his reasons, he sent Ansu Fati on loan to another club which is outside La Liga. During his time in Barcelona, Ansu Fati is performing at a mediocre level. The blaugrana encouraging him to gather more experience in an extra competitive league like the English Premier League appears to be an excellent decision for the spaniard. I have complete faith in Roberto De Zerbi, who is currently the manager of Brighton. He's more interested in talented young players, consequently Ansu Fati will be more beneficial for him. We're looking out for a fierce structure of the seagulls this season.

I think 7 goals in 37 appearance is below mid but there are even more other players that are in Barcelona main squad with half performance of what he has done in Barcelona. He is merely 20, this is even the time he was supposed to have good PR in Barcelona but perhaps they don't have him among the future project of Barcelona. If his journey to Brighton turned out to be a successful one, I don't think Barcelona will want to have him back to the club, he will be more of good player as investment than been use for Barcelona, more clubs will come for loan offer and Barcelona will make more money as they want.

Fati wasn't bought, he was an academy player which means Barcelona labour will yield good fortune, if this project Fati turn to be a good decision for Brighton, we should expect more loan from Barcelona to other clubs to make money and more revenue.



Joao Felix firmly believes that his playing style aligns with Xavi's tactics and will help revive his career. He's confident that Xavi will utilize him effectively. Barcelona could really benefit from wingers with his passing abilities. Let's hope he can demonstrate his skills and rediscover his previous potential. Here's hoping it all works out well.

I do not think Joao Felix loan deal with yield desired results; not only is the player washed up form wise; he has also lost his grits and early promise since moving to Atletico Madrid. The bigger question will be that, can he rediscover his sef? Can Xavi bring out the shining star Joao Felix?

Joao Felix last performance didn't invite deals from other clubs, Barcelona was his best choice which he voice out and Barcelona reached out to him to seal an agreement, I don't see anything wrong with such move. I think Chelsea rubbish his effort and glad he return after the loan expire, because look at Chelsea till today, they haven't recovered from their loss syndrome, only Lord knows where they will finish the season.

For the current situation, Sevilla does not have much chance, because the peak of the group must be held by Arsenal, and the second position is held by PSV, and we can see that PSV is seen from the history of their match in a very good performance so it will be quite difficult faced PSV, and the lens team historically at the beginning of this season did not have a good fate and he fell down in the lower line of his domestic league, but it must be noticed that the Lens in the previous season got a good increase and was at the seventh level of the standings, they did not Consistent but able to pray for a short time.

Sevilla are in Group B. And I wouldn't say every team in Group B is strong. As Arsenal are in form, they are pretty sure to top the table in Group B. And the other two teams are PSV and Lens. PSV is a strong enough team. And this team is capable of performing well in the Champions League as well. However, if Sevilla perform well, it is possible to get points against PSV. On the other hand, the Lens team is now off form. They are not playing well in Ligue 1. The overall condition of their team is very weak. So Lens doesn't seem to have any chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds. And so, if Sevilla want to go to the knockout round, they must play well and win against PSV. I think Sevilla will be able to qualify for the knockout round if they win the two matches against PSV. But it will be much more difficult for Sevilla's players.

Arsenal stand a good chance in that group irrespective of how you put it. Let's judge by their domestic league and where they are currently playing, Sevilla hasn't win a single match and even if it's still early, they are in relegation currently zero point and no match has been won. Lens has played 4 matches and has not won any won any, they draw 1 though. Only PSV have a good place in their domestic league. They are currently number two while Arsenal is in number 5, the only difference is that there are many teams with similar points with Arsenal that share the same points with Arsenal but I believe as we progress, everything will be clear and if there is any team I look forward in making it out of the Champions League group B is Arsenal and PSV.

Arsenal are showing good and positive signs to the new season, this is the performance level that can guarantee trophies at the end of the season. All that is required now is to stay consistent to achieve the season’s objectives. After finishing the previous season in a disappointing fashion, Arteta has since strengthened his team by making  some acquisitions who have been making good impact in the team. I am sure Arsenal are prepared for whatever this season.

They had one big task last week and they delivered, that match is one of the controversial and discussed win ever since this season has started. They won Manchester United in the Emirates stadium, I hope they have the same zeal to repeat the same thing in Old Trafford because the way people are interpreting the match looks as if they favored Arsenal when Garnacho was offside, they think that goal was robbed but it was not, it was VAR checked and not goal.

So far, Arsenal perfomance has been great, just that they have conceded half of what they have scored for this season, unlike Manchester City that has only conceded only two and net 11 goals, Except for the Champions League that might affect Arsenal match, the rest of their math in this September should be easy, if they win the 3 of them, they should advance to top 4 no matter what point other teams earned.

$40 million is probably a peanut for Stake since they reportedly to pay Drake $100 million per year: https://blockworks.co/news/crypto-casino-stake-revenue

As long as users' funds aren't affected, users will continue to play there. I also didn't notice the event, it seems like business as usual. IIRC I played almost every day in the last week but everything seems fine. Not sure whether or not it's because I used non-ETH coins... So yeah, one hot wallet hacked means the owner gets less money to spend, but it won't affect the business.

Was this not the same drake that was reportedly been broke due to his addiction to gambling or it's just a media thing for click bait. If stake has such amount to pay such influencer annually, with this I don't there is a concern for the $41m that was stolen but, this money is huge to let's go. That's a whooping amount that some companies make in 5 years only to be stolen by some people thieves, that's too much to me, even if they have enough, they wouldn't let this slide because you don't know which will be next. The hackers may come back if they don't investigate about the hack.

No way users will not be affected, the money stolen was from a hot wallet which means is the part of the money which players deposit and withdraw but it is possible that they have more of that in cold wallet some where hidden from the public, it will be a shame for them to let people have access to all their funds when they understood the risk involved in leaving funds on the internet.
