OP, there is a thread on the reputation board that you should have posted this. However, I see the joy in you for achieving your new rank.

5. Don't hodl your S merit give it out    : it's always a certainty that one get more attached to your thread or replies when you've merited them in the past and ao, as you receive merit that brings you S merit, also give it to others.
I don't think that because you give out merits in your post will make forum members have interest on your post if it is of low quality. You give out merits on post or comment that is helpful to you and you have learnt something from it.

Giving out smerits is a personal choice and not compulsory because everyone has plan on how to use their smerits, especially the members that are not merit source. So this shouldn't be an advice on how one can use his smerits. Members can decide which post to merit or not  and that is their own decision.

It is not all gamblers that have that mindset of winning and use their win to gamble back. Some gamblers are lucky enough to have a big win at the right time that they needed money badly to invest into something. The topic that you have presented shows that the man is a responsible gambler and knows what he is doing and what he needs in life.

I have also seen a forum member that posted what he used the money that he won from gambling to buy which was a television. If we spend our win wisely, we wouldn't regret that we have spent so much on gambling without gaining profit.

Bitcoin is meant to be spent for easy circulation, this is why when I spend my bitcoin, I don't regret it because itost be that I sold it to take care of something more important instead of keeping it. I don't sell due to panic or to make profit but when it is necessary.

Taking care of health challenge and saving a life is more valuable than keeping idle coins for the future, because it is only a healthy man that will live to enjoy his bitcoin assest. Those that sell some part of their bitcoin and start regretting their actions are those that trade for profit or aikd their coins for irrelevant reasons.
904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 17, 2024, 03:41:28 PM
This season Barcelona lost in all aspects to its rivals, the crushing defeat to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup showed how weak Barcelona's defense was, the sharpness of the front line was also not as sharp as last season. Barcelona must learn valuable lessons from the humiliating defeat they just experienced in the Super Cup final, now they need to maintain their performance in the UCL, La Liga and Copa Del Rey.

I still hope that Xavi can bring changes to improve performance to win one of the trophies that are still possible to win. This season has not gone perfectly for Barcelona, there are still many changes that Xavi needs to make in order to bring Barcelona back into the race for the La Liga title.

If we objectively evaluate the team's condition, then I would not be so optimistic that Barcelona can claim at least one trophy. I very much doubt that Real will allow them to reduce the 7-point gap in the remaining rounds, and as for the Champions League, they simply will not be able to compete with teams like Real, City and Bayern, by the way, the last game with Real showed this well.

And it’s hard to say what’s wrong with the team, Xavi has a very strong squad that could fight on equal terms, but for some reason, their defense became worse, and the attack did not become stronger, the loss of Dembele most likely affected this.

I definitely agree. Usually I would say that there are so many games left to be played in La Liga, but no, Barcelona won't have a chance to close that gap and even come out on top by the end of the season in La Liga.

In the Champions League I would be blown away if they made it into the final. I can look at it from many perspectives, but in the quarterfinals and semifinals they will meet at least one team that will eliminate them.

Then there is Copa del Rey and only Real Madrid will decide who is going to win that title. If Real Madrid gets knocked out unexpectedly, then maybe Barcelona has a chance. But I don't think Real Madrid will lose focus and get knocked out before the final.
Barca will have nothing to win this season due to their current state, it is a club that is strong at the moment that is capable of winning trophies. We saw that last season when they were the strongest in Laliga, how they won the league and the super cup. This is Real Madrid season as you can see it that it is written all over the wall, due to their superb form and consistent winning.

Pardon me, if I say that Real Madrid might win four trophies this season, which are Super cup which they won last week, Copa del Rey, Laliga and Champions league. I see their squad capable of winning all four competitions. However, it is not yet clear to me if they will win the champions league but during the semifinals, I will know this. Real Madrid has 60% chance of winning UCL.
905  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Strategy of Dr.Bitcoin_Strange] BITCOIN'S SELL TO BUY MORE STRATEGY on: January 17, 2024, 02:56:26 PM
This is a very good strategy and I believe that this is what most people that claim to be long term holders are always doing on every four years circle, to take profit by selling in the bull run and buy back at the bearish season.

One thing that I don't like about this strategy is that, you will make profit but you will not be able to buy back the same amount of bitcoin you sold at the price that you bought it initially before selling because the price must be higher that the previous circle dip.

Another disadvantage is that, you might end up using the money to solve other emergencies that occur after sales before you buy back. Lastly, you will miss the compounding profit that you are suppose to benefit from, assuming you could hodli for two or more circle because the price at the initial time that you started your bitcoin investment might have risen 100×. Selling bitcoin for fiat is not advisable at this time of high inflation.
906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: January 16, 2024, 08:57:48 PM
Mourinho always doesn't believe in the squad he has, this was also the case when he coached Man United, Tottenham and Chelsea. Even though we know that these three teams have good squads, Mourinho always complains that the player purchases he hoped for are not achieved, and now the same thing is happening at AS Roma.

If you have a coach who doesn't believe in the squad he has, how do you build the group? Even with the squad that Milan has, it is not inferior to Roma. I am sure that with a change of coach, Roma will at least improve their standings. Maybe if Mourinho was at Milan or Bologna, Mourinho would be in the middle of the standings. However, Mourinho's dismissal will also have an impact on their performance in the Europa League of course, I am not sure that under De Rossi's guidance As Roma can win the match against Feyenoord in the round of 16 which will be played next month.
I agree about José Mourinho he wants clubs where he can do changes as he wants and money is also having good flown but sadly AS Roma situation is not good so just because of these things were suddenly going on wrong way in Serie A even his record in UEFA competitions were good but this last defeat against AC Milan make things end of this José Mourinho era here at AS Roma with most chances now his next destination could be Newcastle United or Saudi League because options are wide open for him in coming days.

Now most chances we will have positive impact on this club after sack of coach or things will be gone in more troubling it's not clear because we have to wait and watch how De Rossi will go ahead in remaining season with can he bring them back into good spot it's big question.
Mourinho is a good coach that can bring out the best in him if he has the quality of players he seeks for. However when he is not given the opportunity to achieve this, he becomes weak in his coaching skills because his mindset has already told him, he needs additional players test his experiment, since the ones he has cannot be good enough for him. He doesn't like or knows how to manage players without buying new ones.

He will be of to Saudi Arabia, where they will value him the more and will be given enough funds to buy whichsoever player that he wants. I think SPL with be cool for him as the competition will become interesting.
907  Economy / Gambling / Re: How Crypto casino market themselves? on: January 16, 2024, 03:45:20 PM
They market themselves through adverts in a crypto community and also in football clubs. If you are watching football, you will see it that most of the stadiums have gambling ads on their walls, and because they know that majority of football fans loves to watch their club matches and from there, they will see the ads on the field.

Also half of the football fans are gamblers and it is easy for them to try the casino that they see their ads on the field. Like I have seen the ads of Rollbit and Stake in recent matches.

Their customer target is the young generation from 18yrs-35yrs of age as this are the ones that are more open to cryptocurrency more, and they are the ones that gambles more than from 36yrs and above. I am saying this from my own observation, I might be wrong based on the statics.
908  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Crypto & Older Generation on: January 16, 2024, 11:31:12 AM
Crypto is a new innovation that came into existence in this new generation and that is why you see that it is a youth thing because the youths are the future of tomorrow, and they are open to new technology because they want to exploit from it. The youths are open minded to learn something new, since they are in their learning age.

The old people are already used to their old pattern of lifestyle, saving money in the bank and also going to physical places to work since this was what they learnt from their youthful age. They are always law abiding and don't need anything that is not from the government. Since cryptocurrency is not from the government unlike fiat that is their country's currency, they will believe that it will not last and this is why they think that it is scam. The old ones are cool with the bank taking control of their money.

OP, 40yrs should still be considered to be a youth and this age people are into cryptocurrency. It should be from 55yrs and above.

I came across this news last night concerning the new
The fintech bank dey really try for Nigerians cause have seen another information in this board concerning Opay and their 15% annual profit. With all this kind of offers some people go quickly dump their investment then focus on the free transaction with their local banks, I'm not saying the free transaction is bad because we too dey part of the free transaction stuff but make e no stop some people from buying bitcoin, regardless the free transaction fee make we still focus on bitcoin because naira no get value and naira and bitcoin no fit compete.
In your own opinion what do you think about this move?
Nah...we cannot spend bitcoin everyday even though the price of bitcoin transaction fee is low just the way it was before ordinals spamming, so many stores and shops have not started acceptinh bitcoin as an alternative payment method in my location. Buying bitcoin should be for investing, if not how you won take make profit from your investment if you buy today sell today.

Free naira transaction is a norm on this mobile banking and no bitcoin aficionado will say because Naira has free transfer he wouldn't invest in bitcoin anymore, when we all know the potential of bitcoin as an asset, censorship resistant and scalability is more than free transfer on Naira that depreciates with timeline. Bitcoin appreciates with timeline. Bitcoin na bitcoin, Naira na Naira, they don't have any comparison because Naira is centralized and bitcoin is the opposite.

912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 14, 2024, 09:25:29 PM
Milan are destroying Roma by 2-0 at the moment. Roma are just terrible in the second half now. They need to play much more active in the attacking line by taking bigger risks from now on. Mourinho must be wishing Dybala wasn't injured because he really needs him now as it seems. Lukaku - Dybala is the best duo in the attacking line for them in the squad currently.

I don't think Roma will be able to make a comeback from this point. Maybe Milan have also had some inconsistencies in the league recently but I don't expect them to make a big mistake in a big game like this while having this score advantage.  Smiley

EDIT: Roma have just scored and made it 2-1 now. Can this be a silver lining for them? We will see.
Yea, it is possible for Roma to equalize the goal because in football, it is not yet over until the end of the match. Milan is really playing very impressive tonight and I expect them to win this match.

Roma on the other hand still have the opportunity to win the match because they have just put themselves back into the match by breaking the deadlock to close the gap in the score line. Dybala would have be of help in this match and his absenteeism is affecting the club performance.
913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: January 14, 2024, 03:47:10 PM
Nigeria still in a 1-1 draw with EQG, upon all of the squad in the Nigerian team they have been finding it difficult to get a second goal after that Victor Osimhen got that equalizing goal for Nigeria, The Nigeria team is allowing Equatorial Guinea to build confidence around the eighteen yard box in this second half.  Only Oshimen has been outstanding in this game.
I don't know why Nigeria players are finding it difficult to play with confidence and come up with a better performance in this second half, and Nigeria team has the quality to win this match but they are not making use of this advantage.

If not for Osimhen that equalized the goal immediately Guinea scored, it means that Nigeria would have being losing the match. They should always clear the ball out of their box anytime that Guinea comes close to the box. From the look of things, this match might end up in a draw because I am not seeing the motivation in Nigeria players to get a second goal.
914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 14, 2024, 03:05:55 PM
Fantastic win for Inter Milan. Finally, Inter returned to show their best performance along with a complete composition of players. In my opinion, Inter's current problem is the gap in substitute players, especially on the front line, the quality of Alexis and Arna is far below that of Lautaro or Thuram. The suggestion is that while it is still the January transfer window, Inter should buy one player to back up in the front position, but it would be even better if they also bought a midfielder at DMF as a backup for Hakan, Aslani is still not stable so there are competitors.
6 goals, and 3 from a penalties and 1 goal VAR checked for offside for Monza. A very entertaining game, it is been a long time since Inter scored 5 goals in a game. Now they are 5 points ahead of Juventus again and have won 16 games out of 20, which is the best score in the league, no other team has do it. Also the goals scored, 49 total, no other team has do that better. The best goalgetter Lautaro Martinez has scored 18 goals in 18 games. Inter Milan are currently the best team in Italy, but juventus are almost strong, it currently looks like they cant catch up with them, Inter Milan havent lost any of their games and the series has been going on for 14 matchdays now.

Inter Milan victory against Monza has really shown they are back into the competition with a great form. Inter is proving very strong when compare to Juventus. If they continue with this their great form they will definitely win the league title.
Inter was never out of the competition as they have being on the first position since the beginning of this season and they have being consistent with their match. I wasn't surprise on their victory yesterday because in the first half, Inter scored 3 goals to show that they must win the game. Also in the second half they scored an additional three goals.

Inter must definitely be the winner of Scudetto this season as they have won 15 matches and drew 3. A great performance from Inzaghi and his men. Juventus needs to try harder an improve their game so that if there is a slim opportunity for them to take over Inter, they will be capable of taking over the first position, but do you think Inter will allow that happen?.
915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 13, 2024, 08:20:58 PM
No, Newcastle won't win if they don't change the way they play. There were a lot of players stacked in the defensive area which allowed Manchester City to explore some errors, but that's how ordinary teams beat the favorites. There was nothing good about the way Newcastle maintained their lead, so this must be exploited well by Manchester City.

Now De Bruyne is the starter and replaces Bernardo Silva. It is hoped that he can improve the quality of attacks and also be a solution to the difficulty of penetrating Newcastle's defense. Several missed chances so far and perhaps Manchester City should keep their psychology.
DE Bruyne came from injury and three minutes after his entrance he did something magical by equalizing the goal which all most all Manchester city strikers tried scoring but wasn't possible.

Manchester city has really missed DE Bruyne presence in the games and that was why they were not able to win consistently. I can say that hope has come back to Manchester city as it is possible for them to win Newcastle now that De Bruyne is in the game.

It is 2-2 draw now and I believe one side will score again to win the match.

Kevin De Bruyne, yes that's him. 1 goal and 1 assist made Manchester City take the lead in the second half and it was something special when he got playing minutes. As I said, Newcastle will not win the game when they are just intent on defending completely throughout the second half and fortunately Manchester City really took their chances well.

The entry of Kevin De Bruyne brought many changes to Manchester City's game as a whole. He is a leader or field general who can make the team play more focused and calm. Evidently, he was able to change the course of the match and recorded 1 assist and 1 goal to win 3 points from Newcastle.
Just like I predicted, Manchester City still fought back into the game and it is the big man Kelvin De Bruyne that rose up to the big occasion. Like I earlier said, Pep Guardiola isn't new to high expecting games like the one they played against Newcastle tonight. He knew what the team really needed to come back to life again and that was why Kelvin De Bruyne was introduced which the Belgian came on and did what he knows how to do best.
The two substitutes made by Pep brought a difference to the game, and City key player behind the success of the club, Kelvin De Bruyne came in and turn the game around from one goal down to 3-2 victory. It will be a sad one for Newcastle who tried their best to see if they could win the match, but they got disappointed as they couldn't even share points.

Manchester city must have come back to their winning form as the only man who is their strength is back from injury, and he showed how important he is to the club today. De Bryne is back and City is back to their feet.

Napoli's goal drought is over after 3 games but the goal came from penalty so they still struggle scoring from flowing game. We are accustomed to teams that fall in the season after becoming champions. So this is not surprising to me. Still, I expected Napoli to be more resilient, their position in the league doesn't suit them at all. You can't play this badly for 7 weeks in a row.
All eyes will now turn to tonight's game for Inter. The leader should win without too much difficulty in Monza, but you can't win a game without playing it. They have to play carefully. Monza is a team that lock their opponents well and concede few goals with their defense. It won't be an easy game.
Napoli has finally taken the lead and won the match on the 90+6mintes of injury time was when Amir Rrahmanicame to the rescue of Napoli by netting the post with a good finish inside his opponent's box.

Napoli was lucky and they deserve the win because they dominated the second half and also pressured the visitors which led to their victory. I am happy to see Napoli win this match after a long time, from one goal down.
2-1 in favour of the host.

Although not a single goal was scored in the second half but I think the match looked more interesting. Being left behind by 1 goal made Fulham take the initiative to attack more, but all the efforts made by Fulham in the second half did not seem to produce results because Chelsea played quite alertly. Actually, Fulham had 2 good opportunities, it's just Petrovic was able to thwart these opportunities.
Petrovic made a lot of decent saves in the second half to deny Fulham the goal, I am starting to like him better for Chelsea than Sanchez. Chelsea still have a problem of finishing up chances that they create, and also difficulty in holding a lead in the final minutes of games. They loose control and become shaky in how they play. Fulham would have scored in the final minutes of the game, Chelsea already looked Vulnerable. Chelsea have been able to win three home games under the new coach, it is a good sign for the young team and shows the potential they have to blossom in a short time. Cold Palmer brought the flames to this new Chelsea side.
I agree with what you said because if you look at the match in the last minutes, Chelsea was unable to calm the pressure that Fulham was mounting on them and the moment Chelsea gets the ball, they will give it back to Fulham, instead of them using a simple logic of passing the ball to themselves and running round the field just the way they do play in other games.

Maybe Chelsea believed that it will be difficult for Fulham to score them because since the past six visits of Fulham to Stamford bridge, Fulham have never scored any goal, and that was what still happened toady. Is it that it is a curse or record that Chelsea has chosen to keep.  Today's victory has put Chelsea ahead of Manchester united on the table and if Manchester united fails to win their next match, it will be a mess on them.

Your casino looks great and i love the way that you guys came to the forum to advertise your casino through signature campaign, and this will really help the casino to fain popularity. The two major problems that might be a barrier for gamblers to use your casino frequently is the long list of restricted countries and the daily withdrawal limit.

The countries are much and how do you guys intend to make profit in this business that only few countries are allowed to use the casino.

Your daily withdrawal limit will not attract gamblers that much, especially the high rollers because they will assume that if they win big, it might take a lot of days to make withdrawal, and a casino which welcome all category of gamblers to make more profit.

But in trading and investments, there's always more than one way of doing things, no? It can't be just YOUR strategy that's profitable, but a multitude of other different strategies. You prefer to DCA, and that's OK. I prefer to save, and wait for a discount, knowing that Bitcoin cannot surge up forever. Always there are corrections and crashes, and it would be laughable to believe that macro-economics will never have any effect on Bitcoin. Because as Bitcoin matures, it has become more and more entwined with legacy markets. March 2020's crash was proof of that.
For newbies, it is better that they get started by buying bitcoin at the current price using DCA method to increase the bitcoin portfolio size and shouldn't wait for the dip, especially those investors that have little amount of bitcoin in their portfolio. JJG is someone that he giving the best way and method that a newbie can start his bitcoin journey to a greater height, even though he has reached his bitcoin target and is even in the right position to wait and buy at the dip.

@OP, I believe that your bitcoin portfolio size has reached a certain height that you believe that waiting and buying at the dip is the best strategy for you, but this is not the best strategy for most of us that are still new in our bitcoin accumulation journey and this is why you see that JJG is emphasizing on DCA method to guide us and reduce the risk of tension in the market, because bitcoin price is unpredictable and nobody knows when the dip will come. The rules is that new investors should keep on accumulating with DCA method not to distract themselves with the volatile nature of bitcoin.
