However, based on how I see things going for Girona and Real Madrid, both teams will give it everything they have in order to win this week game because they don't want any team to do anything that would cost them a point or even push them from their current position. I'm not sure about Girona, but this season Real Madrid is very strong to win the league title, and I think they can do so given how real Madrid is playing.
Real Madrid is already topping the table and I don't think that they will love to let any club put them behind, because from the look of things, this season is a good season for them with the way that they start the season with good performance and they are consistence in their matches.

Girona is another club that is also desperate for the trophy because they are in a good performance and they don't want to let goal of their position on the table due to their brilliant performance in every matches. Real Madrid should also be very careful with their games because we saw what happened last time that they drew their match, how Girona took over the first position from them.

In whatever business that you want to venture into, it is wise to know the pros and cons of the business by doing your own research but because of cryptocurrency volatile nature, you must do your own research even after listening to influencers in social media or crypto experts. But come to think of it, it is only short term investors that needs to always do their research because they are looking for the altcoin that they want to invest in for quick profit or bitcoin traders, that want to male quick profit that can fall for these social media influencers.

A bitcoin hodler that is on a long term investment and is also increasing his bitcoin through regular DCA will only need to prepare and set aside 10% or 5% based on his income. This is to enable him take care of all necessary needs and emergency with the rest. All he needs to do is to learn the basic knowledge of bitcoin which is to invest in a long term and how to buy bitcoin and transfer to his self custodial wallet from an exchange because he doesn't need any news to deprive him from accumulating because he buys bitcoin no matter the price of bitcoin at that moment. Only invest in bitcoin for a long term will and save yourself from much risk and fake news from social media.
883  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin price speculation (BTC/NGN) on: November 03, 2023, 01:57:37 PM
I don't know if anybody is noticing what is happening in the exchange rate of dollar to Naira, omo dollar don dey depreciate back to the former price if you can observe it, and naira is gaming back its value. I just did my calculation based on Binance price and dollar is 806 Naira as I am writing this thread, because bitcoin is 274 743 703 Naira now. At two weeks ago,we knew that it was above 1150 but gradually it is appreciating and nobody knows for how much it will appreciate to.

 Does this means that the promise that Tinubu said about making things very high before the economy will be balanced, because I could remember that he said that dollar will depreciate over Naira with time. One thing that I haven't observed yet is the cost of commodities, the prices are still high and getting higher, is it that the dollar depreciation over Naira is not suppose to bring down the price of things now, or will it be a gradual process, or is it that Naira can appreciate over dollar,but the cost of commodities will never be brought low because of greed ? This means that the new administration is working on making the dollar loss value over Naira. Can anyone tell what is the cost of this new change in price of dollar and Naira

I see both crypto and fiat casino as the same in terms of limiting your gambling expenses or not. An addicted gambler will still use on his money in his bankroll and keep on chasing his losses if he gambles either in a cryptocurrency casino or a fiat casino.

I can attest to this and from my personal experience, crypto gambling is more of a different ball game. Recently, I have been using more of crypto platform in my gambling and I can already confirm the difference. Apart from the comfort the deposit and withdrawal method offers, I'm also enjoying the psychological improvement I experience using cryptocurrency.  For instance, I pay more attention to details, check my risk exposure and try my best to control greed level.

I have the feeling that in the near future, the competion will be fierce that conventional casinos will adopt crypto in other to remain in business.
If we are talking about the features in a cryptocurrency casino, this depends in the country that you are because a second world country fiat online casino will likely have similar features with a cryptocurrency casino. When you are from a third world country the online casino features in your country will differ from the crypto casino because cryptocurrency casino will be more in a second world country that a third world country but you can access it from any location.
885  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: November 03, 2023, 08:14:31 AM
we have to understand the procedures of technical observations of bitcoin so that when you invest to accumulate bitcoin and your target will be achieved
I disagree with you, that one needs technical analysis to be a successful investor. All a newbie needs to become successful is to know the basics of bitcoin by investing in a long term to over the risk that short term hodlers fall into. He also need to know how to buy bitcoin and how much he will assign to his bitcoin investment portfolio weekly or monthly or even quarterly that will not affect your weekly expenses and have a reserve funds. Then that investor is good to start his bitcoin journey. Look at majority of whales don't care about technical analysis because they have the money to buy anytime they feel they need to add more to their bitcoin investment.

 Poor and average investors that have been accumulating for a very long time now don't know anything about technical analysis as long as they are using DCA method. DCA method of accumulation has gotten rid of the risk that technical analysis can cause to long term investors, because all they need to do  is to accumulate weekly or monthly, disregarding the price of bitcoin at that moment. Don't delay yourself from taking the best opportunity now to invest instead of waiting and learning technical analysis below you will invest because it is a waste of time for long term investors.

I seem that the favourable time to invest in bitcoin for accumulation is when it's in dip time.
You are right and wrong at the same time. Why I said that you are right is that if you buy at the bottom line of the dip in lump sum and hodli for long term maybe ten years and above, you are very lucky because the market might not experience such anymore since at every new circle the ATH is always higher than the previous one. You are wrong because as long as you are investing in a long term, using DCA strategy and lump sum at the dip, anytime that you invest in bitcoin is favorable i.e all the time it is favorable for newbies as long as his plans is to accumulate weekly or monthly till he reaches his bitcoin target. It is also hard to time the dip because nobody can predict accurately the price of bitcoin, this is where most traders get everything complicated  for them and they end of making wrong decisions that will make them run at loss because, their greedy nature has killed the fear and patient in them and regrets becomes the order of the day. If I were you I will say NO to trading.
886  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Nigerians spend $975m daily on online betting on: November 02, 2023, 08:58:28 PM
Infact this 28% is low excluding old and children. The reason why I said this is that this is the online statistics. People bet offline, on land base casino. People gamble in their compound, in the neighborhood apart from casinos and it is normal in Nigeria. Some gamblers gamble till dawn. Like someone said, I will say that it is like a tradition down here because even before the economy got to the level, people have being gambling and using it as a means to double their funds.

The youths now don't have anything that they do with their money but to gamble and hope to win big, because they have seen people that have won big in gambling. There are sportbet outlets in my neighborhood and all the time it is filled up. They see losing as something normal and they hope that someday, they will win big.

OP, I agree with you on whatever you choose to call bitcoin because of the way the price is pumping now. You will sleep and wake up and see that bitcoin price has pumped and to you it is like magic right. I call bitcoin the future digital gold and some persons calls it a safe haven, and so on.

The fact remains that bitcoin is a volatile assest and this makes it more profitable when you invest for a long period of time. There is still time for one to buy and invest and also do regular DCA, so that you can benefit from it. Bitcoin has a great potential and that is why you are carried away and call it magic internet money but the truth is that the decentralized nature is what makes it more unique.

You have zero chance of changing your  username and if I were you, I will just forget about this my current account and act as if I never had it. Next is to go and create a new account your your preferred name and this time make sure you have finalize with the name you want to use, if not it will be a waste of time for you to be jumping from one account to the other.

 Register a new account and ride on, after all your account don't have any reputation nor merits, so it is very easy to start all over again. On the other hand you feel you are not cool with our suggestions, then you can write to theymos and try your luck but you have to wait for a long time that is if your request will be granted. It's your choice to decide.
889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 02, 2023, 04:47:48 AM

In my opinion, Juventus is not only among the top 5 but also one of the strong candidates for the championship. So I expect them to be one of the top 2 teams in the league. Their biggest rivals here will be Inter. They are playing great this year and they will challenge Juventus. If they are a little tired because of the matches they will play in Europe, they may lose points.
I thought Acmilan where the strongest teams to win the league this season not until they faced Inter and Juventus, they tried not to concede alot against Juventus but Intermilan showed them class when they met earlier this season, However Juventus have been very impressive this season though they started sluggishly but recently they're one of the top performing team in the league currently and if Intermilan doesn't end up winning the title this season and I feel they're another top candidate for the title.

 Intermilan are very strong last season they participated in the UCL final and they continued with such good form this season and are,currently the leaders of the league, they could maintain that position for a very long time since their rivals Acmilan couldn't remain consistent after getting to the top, and if care is not taken they could drop more points.
Milan started the season as if they will never lose points in all their matches but as we all know that there must be difficulties when a club faces a club that is well prepared for the game than them. It was Inter that started to make Milan lose points after they met earlier and Juve has also reduced Milan's point.

I think that their defeat in the champions league by PSG was what affected their performance. They were still in the shock before they played Juventus. I think that Inter has a better chance of winning the league because they are still consistent with their performance even though they are playing in the champions league. Juventus has the chance on winning the league if they don't decline in performance and remain consistent, because they will me focused only on Seria A
890  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin help? on: November 02, 2023, 03:56:57 AM
It is only the government that can uplift people from poverty and not bitcoin, this is because anyone that want to really benefit from bitcoin must take a long time before he can see his profit, since bitcoin is a long term investment for you to make profit from it. You don't think that the poor ones that hardly eat well in a day will be able to invest into bitcoin and wait patiently to reap their profit when they don't have what to eat.

The people that are making profit from bitcoin are traders and people that earn in bitcoin and I don't that a poor man can go into trading that is very risky and can make one loss all his bitcoin if he makes a wrong decision. It is unethical to advise newbies or people who are managing to invest in bitcoin to jump into trading without any skill because they will end up at loss.

Mining is very expensive due to the cost of electricity and it needs good capital to start with, and if you are not careful, you might run at loss. Hodli needs patience and you must have cash reserve or cash inflow in other to be successful as a hodler, if not you might end up selling when it is not at your will.
891  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Trade vs. HODL - avoid traps on: November 01, 2023, 08:35:31 PM
You have presented trade vs hold very well here. Trading from hold is more risky. I don't really compare the two because I'm involved in both types. I trade one day at a time in a certain environment. I am involved in both holding and trading. If you trade and hold correctly you will profit from both. Currently we are leaning more towards trading in the hope of short term gains. As Bitcoin is an important currency one should hold and trade very cautiously.
Trading shouldn't be something that should be advised that newbies should go into. Majority of traders run at loss because it is hard to predict bitcoin price movement correctly, and trading involves so many skills and charts stuffs that will make one so stressed up when trying to beat the market. The fact remains that, there is no amount of profit that a trader will make that will be as big as what he will make when a hodli for long because bitcoin value increases with timeline.

Trading is for people that are after little profit and only after today, while hodlers are people that invest for their old age when they will no longer be strong to work. Professional traders run at loss but a newbie hodler will not run at loss when he investment in a long term and increase his bitcoin porfolio with regular DCA. As for me I see trading as a waste of time because you might think that you will make profit but end up running at loss. Bitcoin investment is not for short time gains because the market might not move in your favor and there are some wrong decisions that you will make as a trader that you will end up living to regret. Just Hodli and save your investment from loss.
892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 01, 2023, 07:08:05 PM

If I look at Man United's performance last season, honestly I really can't think that this season is much worse and certainly beyond everyone's expectations. Last season they managed to finish in third place in the standings with quite satisfying statistics, so of course the current conditions are very surprising where they should be much better but in fact they absolutely cannot meet expectations even a little. The match against Man City yesterday was really embarrassing, not only embarrassing the squad but also the fans who were there.

Obviously it lowers the confidence of the fans, consistency is a major problem for Man United this season in my opinion, I hope Ten Hag really has to do something about his squad, at least be able to prove a little better to restore the confidence of their fans and the prestige of the club. We'll see what Ten Hag does next there.
Manchester united would bounce back but if might not happen very soon cause their squad is not very complete and Erik Ten Hag needs to manage the players he's got until his clubs remain balanced again, Manchester United could have had a better season if not for the injury crisis they're currently facing and I doubt If Manchester united would be able to finish 3rd place like they did the previous season.

 Erik Ten Hag is very lucky that the board and club owners still believe in him and don't got any plans to sack him but however he's got to do something to help the team get better so that they don't drop very drastically on the standings, Erik Ten Hag had a very good tactics at Ajax that got the attention of United board which made them to sign him but recently he's now bringing another pattern that's not helping the club,  they're not even playing good football that would help them gain support of the fans.
I don't understand Eric Ten Hag new pattern that is making winning very difficult. He needs to try his best to make sure that the performance of the team will not decline that this, if not it will be a worst season for him and the club. Manchester will not finish on top four this season and they will not be playing in the champions league next season, because their performance is too poor to meet such target.

 I don't know what brought the change in the players performance too, they are not as smart and sharp like last season. Something needs to be done fast in other to put the team back to a good form before it is too late.
893  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin kwoledge is not complete without bitcoin investment on: November 01, 2023, 04:04:44 PM
I don't see bitcoin to be risky, if can discipline yourself and stick to the investment rules of bitcoin that says, you should only invest in a long term and increase your bitcoin investment portfolio regularly with DCA so that no matter the level of price that bitcoin is, you can buy to cover up further price increase to balance up with the risks and benefits. No matter how risky, you think bitcoin is because of the price volatility when you are in a long term  plan, you will overcome the risk because bitcoin price keeps pumping with time.

It is those people that think that bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme that invest in a short term and they want massive profit, they will run at loss because that is not how bitcoin should be venture into, since nobody can predict the price movement of bitcoin right. Other assets has high risk and can't be compared to bitcoin in terms of risk and benefits.

#3. It helps us to take risk.

This is the part that I loved and I have never thought of the positive side. Since gamblers are always taking risk to make profit. It means that it whatever business or goal that we are planning of, taking the risk to venture into it is worth it just like you don't know if you will win the next game but you have the hope that you will win it.

If your venturing into a business take a bold step and believe that it is worth to take the risk to succeed in it. Same with you goal don't get discourage even when you have fallen the first time, just as gamblers don't give up, they come back and gamble tomorrow after today's loss. Gamble responsible in other to enjoy the benefit in gambling.
895  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Does Faucet give real bitcoins every few hours? on: November 01, 2023, 08:48:08 AM
It's all genuine, why do I call it genuine, because I have already withdrawn the Bitcoins I got from the freebitxxx fauchet. I have known and played this fauchet since 2015, and I have made 4 withdrawals there. Now I'm still playing it, and so far I haven't made a withdrawal because the results from the current fauchet are very small. It was different in 2015.

Apart from Bitcoin faucet, there were also faucet for Bitcoin and Dogecoin.

Currently it may take a long time to claim Bitcoin from fauchet because we have to collect a lot of Bitcoin first to cover fee transaction
You are right, it was back in 2015 like you said that faucet is worth giving time because then it pays well, but as time goes on it became very small that I presently see it as a waste of time because before one can claim bitcoin from faucet, you must be a patient dog since the transaction fee is something else.

That sounds bad, so we also don't know how much bitcoin they have? including casinos and centralized exchanges also the same? the numbers written on our account are just fake bitcoins? can they use the bitcoins we send them for their needs? As long as there are no major withdrawals on the exchange, no one will know that our bitcoins there have been used. Could that be true?
Exchanges are very funny people because they are always bringing figures that are not in their reach to make people feel that keeping their funds with them is safe, when you will know that it is not true is when that exchange crashes, they wouldn't be able to refund all customers their funds at once. Another way to know is when there is a massive withdrawal from the exchange, you will see that the exchange will now deprive their customers from withdrawing and also place a withdrawal limit on customers so that they wouldn't know the truth.

 Same with traditional banks, have you ever thought that what id all the customers withdraw all their funds at once, the bank will never accept many withdrawals and they will put a withdrawal limit. This has happened to me and I need the funds for an urgent purpose. Not your keys not your coins. The moment you deposit to an exchange, your coins becomes a business coins, and not yours anymore, it is only when you have withdrawn it that it becomes your again.
896  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin kwoledge is not complete without bitcoin investment on: October 31, 2023, 07:45:54 PM
even if Bitcoin is riskier than other investments, I still choose Bitcoin.
Why are they saying that bitcoin is risky than other investment like gold, stock and bond, or real estate is simply because if the volatile nature of bitcoin, especially for people who are in a rush to sell their bitcoin. When you invest in a long term, you have overcome the risk in it. This is why you must invest in bitcoin to complete your knowledge on bitcoin by experiencing the risk attached to bitcoin investment and hodli. I can take 5yrs to learn bitcoin but still don't know the strategy on investing and grow my investment. Only practical can teach your how to go about your bitcoin journey and which accumulation strategy that will suit you base on your income.

But however is totally depends on  individual on what they feel is right for them.
Some newbies can't differentiate their right from their left in cryptocurrency, I.e they don't know which is the best and how to start with their investment, and it is these kind of people that will invest into the wrong coin or will listen to influencers and invest into altcoins, and that is why we need to tell them the difference of bitcoin and altcoins and also guide them to the right direction. When I just came into the forum, I never knew anything about cryptocurrency and I thought that they are all the same but the forum changed my thoughts abs clarify me about the difference. It is the same thing with diversify, I have seen so many forum member think that diversify into other assets means buying altcoins.
897  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: October 31, 2023, 06:29:57 PM

Although it sound interesting but hard to achieve that amount of %30 on regular basis expecialy on DCA strategy. Considering the responsibilities in the family. for example a country like mine, if you continue like this you will put yourself in financial jopady. For me I think %20 will be good to go. but if one can develop and nuture that characteristics, I think it will go a long way if there are other means of lively hood.
It all depends on yourself and I don't think it's necessary to feel that your country alone has problems in the economy because for now almost all countries feel the same way but that's not the point, I think the point that needs to be emphasized in the current conditions is how you manage your money because in the end the current benchmark is not to the country but to yourself who must survive with all the circumstances  that occur.
As long as you believe and want to invest in bitcoin then you definitely know what you will do. 30 percent of income if it feels too big then you can reduce it to 20% or 10% according to your own strength.
Many here are married but in the end they can still do DCA consistently. This indicates that belief can make us think more broadly and not only fixated on economic conditions because in the end when good management is done and you know how much income and expense from your income actually it can be a gap to make some changes if you want to invest and it depends on yourself whether you want or not to invest.

A man must have a future, so he must participate in investments thinking about the future. Because my country is dealing with a lot of economic conditions (all countries are suffering from economic problems all over the world) the bank money is being taken over by the government. Currently holding fiat currencies is not safe at all, so investing in bitcoins is a must. Investing in Bitcoin is of course the claimant to the property itself. And those who do not have savings, it is better to invest 10% to 15% of their monthly income in DCA method according to their monthly or weekly income. Because investing in Bitcoin will definitely increase your wealth, it is more profitable to invest than to keep your savings.
Bitcoin is here to save the poor from hardship through the opportunity that it has offer for one to invest into it. Bitcoin is a different investment from others abs only need little capital to invest. Anyone that understands this will gladly assign some fraction from his income to invest, or look for a way that they can increase their income, if what they are earning wouldn't be enough to take care of their responsibilities and also invest in bitcoin.

Some people thinks that they must have a good income or a big capital to invest and they will keep wasting their time waiting for that right time, of which they don't know that it better to start investing with the little that they have now and plan to look for a means to increase their income. Bitcoin is seen as a safe haven in future when you invest in a long term with regular DCA to increase your bitcoin, and if a newbie believes in this he will definitely invest.

 What I am saying is that it is our duty to look for a way out to make sure that we are accumulating frequently and hodli for long with a proper plan that will not make us sell when it is not our will to avoid regrets. Invest now at don't wait till you are very comfortable financially. Lack of planning of keeping funds for basic needs and emergency can hinder your progress when investing in bitcoin, so you should have cash reserve for those expenses, if not you might not be successful in your bitcoin journey.

mine was $200,000 on Stake.com 2 weeks ago
Damn it mate, you must be a rich guy. This money is big enough to change the life of a poor man to become very rich down here in my country, and you just lost it in one session, gush. I have never used up to $100 in a session because my income is not big, and I only gamble with 5% from my income.

What got over you that made you to gamble with such amount, you should not be influenced by those wealthy gamblers that stream their gambling activities, because they have more than enough to throw away. Gamble responsible and don't live to regret your actions later.

I only gamble once in a while back days when I just started gambling. It was my friends that introduced me to gambling and it was only when we are together that I gamble. This made me not to gamble without them and we meet during the weekend to have fun. I guess this was one of the reason that made me not to get addicted that much.

 I could only remember some years back when I wanted to get addicted to gambling but when I saw how much of my income do go into gambling, I decided to limit the way I gambled, and that really helped me a lot. So what I did was that,I created my own gambling time that makes me not to gamble when it is not that time, and I quit the moment the time elapses, either I am winning or losing.
