921  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: September 23, 2023, 09:32:01 PM
Liverpool has been the bone of contention on this thread as they stand to be the favorite for almost everyone, but then let's not forget that Liverpool is also participating in the premier league and the Europa at same time although they failed to qualify for the UCL they are still hopeful they will next season.participating in this two leagues could be tasking at some point.
As far as we would like to look at the EPL as one (if not) the toughest league on the planet, I would like to add that it is so because of the type of teams that is present in the league of which, Liverpool is by far one of the very best. Now, coming to Europa which happens to be what they’ve got for now in the absence of the UCL, it’s only natural that we have a lot of expectations on them.

I expect of them to have easy games and easy wins in this Europa but, no. What we see is a struggling Liverpool, even with the top coach and world class players.
Put Manchester City in same situation and you would see a second 11 coming on the pitch yo make a huge difference. We aren’t placing expectations that is more than Liverpool can handle on them, we are simply asking them to show there worth and quality.

"Perfect" FPL day, everybody brings in Alvarez he gets one pointer. Now it is time for Jackson to haul. My transfers Edouard, Botman and Mbuemo also look like total miss. Botman is probably even injured and that also means Chilwell will haul tomorrow.
He’s been on my team for a while now but, it’s really disappoint what how Rodri got to mess the whole game plan up today. I was already expecting an over 4.5 goals in this game judging from the way it started, with Foden and the early goal, E. Haaland did good to extend the lead and Nottingham Forest playing like scared little girls but, just seconds into the second half, Rodri thought it was wise to over react and caught a straight red! Like, it was an out of the blue reaction and just like that, the whole game was messed up, Manchester City came under pressure, Pep had to sort for a more defensive approach and there was my dear Alvarez having yo pay the price on the bench.
Rodri did this one today!

hope to see Botman on the bench tomorrow
have Jensen and Tarkowski on my bench, and hope to see two players from my line-up on bench, Botman is first pick, Gusto second pick
I so much don’t wish to see Lamptey on the pitch for Brighton tomorrow. Just how did I get to get Tarkowski off the pitch to the bench and brought Lamptey in at the least minute! Like, how am I doing this to 11 points that could have easily gone to the bag.
Lamptey better does something more or close tomorrow or better still, catches the bench and zero out.

According to the reports an EX-employee reported inside news that actually it was a fat finger act where by mistake the order was misplaced by the decimal point error. Sam Bankman-Fried's Alameda caused this drop. Obviously, Baradwaj said Alameda lost $millions. 

A Second question did Alameda offer a refund?

To follow more on the story you can have a look here

I mean, why shouldn’t they?
It was an honest mistake and was followed by honest trades by several traders who have spent time on the market looking for opportunities and this one opened up for them so legally, traders who took opportunity of this drop did no flaws. I can’t say for sure but, based on the quote below,
Quote
But because it had been an honest mistake, there wasn't much to do except to implement additional sanity checks for manual trades,” Baradwaj added.
It’s seems all was in agreement for them to have their withdrawals in peace as should be the case. What seemed to have been done is an improvement on the means of placing orders in the market. Thanks yo there honest mistakes, mistakes such as that would be uncommon. A prices mistake indeed but, it’s the cryptospace and such a had thing for the organization to deal with but, they’ll deal with it.

What’s the conversation rate for 700,000baht against the USD? Can somebody do that for me?

Meanwhile, I went through the whole story with the provided link and it wasn’t really about bitcoins but, it’s been staged as the excuse here. I think bitcoin is being victimized in this whole dispute as, it was already a failed relationship between them both else, why would a couple live apart and why was the supposed husband scared the said wife would cheat on him.

The husband went too far and was really in on having the divorce option off the table for them but, the length he went is one that doesn’t fix any problems but instead, destroys the possibility of any further relations.

Living someone so much shouldn’t be showed in your quest to take their life rather than have anyone else have them but, in the sacrifices you could endure to enable them have there best and you share in there joys in life.
925  Economy / Economics / Re: Free Investment tips on: September 22, 2023, 05:10:03 PM
While free education is readily available on the internet, I believe that those willing to invest a bit of money in their education take a step forward. Self-learning indeed comes with the advantage of freedom, but it is not necessarily more effective than having a teacher.

Certainly, this is an option, whether to opt for paid education or free education. In my opinion, there's no loss in spending money to enhance the quality of one's mind and self.
When you spend money to educate yourself and you don’t get to talk about loses even with you not using whatever certification or benefiting directly from the studies, there’s always benefit in having to expand your scope about a field. Knowledge is application and application doesn’t mean it’s going to remain within that scope of specialty, you could relate to other fields and still benefit off it.

Free learning have got lots of limitations on it and most times, what’s been offered it’s just at the surface and more like a teaser, an enlightenment to make you seek more. It’s limited.

While there might be free education and self education, in order to do exploit, having a teacher brings you closer to your goal. You not only learn from there experiences and expertise, you get to upgrade on it.

Do you have a small business idea? or business experience? I want to hear it
It almost feels as though your asking for proposals of which you would like to invest in when you say, you’ll like to hear it.

Anyway, you have to understand that business ideas do thrive in one region more than the other which depends on the available resources and if the services to be provided is a much need one. In the search for ideas, you could do a survey within your locality, search within yourself to determine what service your not sufficiently getting and what it takes you to satisfy such service.
Then you can do a survey on it and keep options open for more ideas.

One business that has proven to stand through time is the good business. Humans can’t do without food and as such, your sure to sell. You could as well provided what is more common in an area within an area of scarcity. Local importation and make money off it.

You mustn’t always need your own capital to start but, if you do, then it’s okay. You can serve as an intermediary but, never connecting your buyers with your supplier. You make the connections by becoming the chain link and make money off it. It’s not that simple as presented but, it’s achievable.
927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Warning] Don't share your casino account! on: September 22, 2023, 01:21:33 PM
I have a very bad experience in regards to being connected to a launderer due to P2P on the exchange so I decided to create this warning thread for the fellow gambler. Never share your casino account to anyone here especially those so-called whale bettors because you might be connected to whatever shit they are doing illegally.
I haven’t really thought of it that way as, a bet fixing syndicate but, that could easily be the case with whale gamblers. I mean, my ideas has always limited me to what damage they could do with your account, having it blocked and funds confiscated and all that but, it’s interesting to know how wide it gets.

I am curious though,
What was your experience with on the situation, how damaging was it? Without making speculations, I’ll like to see what it was.

While most would be skeptical of this offer, there are some greedy gamblers that would easily play into there part. One time last year, I saw a user create a thread with this sort of offer.
Don’t forget, it’s against betting company policies that, you take bets for another user or bet unbehalf of or any form or representation gambling. We all know what happens when this is found out and so, which ever way you might reason it, it’s not a chastised practice and should be avoided.
928  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 22, 2023, 01:09:45 PM
I think this pressure is one reason for Onana to make mistakes like we saw in the game against Bayern Munich from this goalkeeper.
He even said he disappointed the whole team because of that bad performance he had.
Can’t say I like to see him this way but yeah, the pressure and expectations on him is gradually getting to him but, the interesting thing about him is, he’s able to realize his role in the defeat and that is the first step to getting better. He was unusually nervous and that foul produced a lot of mistakes. The first goal which ought to have been an easy save did set him up on trying to avoid more mistakes as he had to try and overdo himself to avoid more goals but, that wasn’t the case. I don’t blame him very much on the second goal, he was already cornered in trying to prevent Jamal Musiala from having a good sight at the goal and eventually, left the post open for Serge Gnabry who wasn’t going to miss such a graced chance. Manchester United was just off but, we can expect more from there next encounter if they could manage it.

Manchester United problem is a coaching problem and a tactical problem and the coach Erik Ten Hag needs to change his approach to games; and make tactical changes to change the face of the team.

One thing is certain; if poor performances persist; the coach job is on the line.
Eric Ten Hag prioritizes discipline in his team and I can’t say he isn’t doing enough for Manchester United. He’s been doing the most for this team but, it’s a matter of time before the team picks up. Don’t forget, the team was in much disarray when he took up the job and has done greatly with the team ever since, even getting them to the UCL.

A few days ago I got the news that Bitcointalk member Joerii (Joeri Pross) passed away, leaving behind a wife and 2 young kids.

A lot of you may have known him as he was one of the "oldbie" users on this forum and community manager for a lot of projects, like Factom.

He went missing august 30th and his body was found september 2nd.
That’s sad!
Never heard of him but, getting to know him and what this would mean to his left behind, young kids at that and what this would mean for them, growing up without a father figure coupled with the circumstances surrounding his death, that’s just awful. Missing for few days only to be found dead in 3days, it’s such a pity for him.
I really hope he must have planted a trail to allow his left behind have access to his crypto portfolio and accumulations.

May his soul depart this world to rest peacefully in the bosom of whatever he believed in and his left behind find the heart to condole this irreplaceable lose in there existence. Another lose of a forum quality from what OP speaks of him.
932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2023/24 | Qualifiers on: September 21, 2023, 10:43:10 PM
It's a dream night for Brighton fans who are watching their team play European football in their grounds for the first time in the club history.
They are currently playing a 2 goal draw, but that will not deter the team or the fans from enjoying their night and making as much noise as possible.

The next agenda will be to become regular faces in European competitions and maybe look towards a Champions league spot in the coming years.

Edit; it's 3-2 against Brighton now, but the fans are still having a good time.

- Jay -
With this performance Brighton had against the AEK, they aren’t going nowhere with this sort of performance. Everything from AEK was spectacular but, you can’t say the same for Brighton. There defense wasn’t okay, you could find them living single players within the box, creating a next to impossible miss for the AEK players. Look at the first goal from E. Sidine, he was given enough space to express himself and he graciously directed the ball right to the far corner and hit result for his team. Same situation was created in the third goal for AEK but, Brighton could only follow up from the penalty situation of Joao Pedro who was very clever to create contact and executed the kicks perfectly.
Even with his both goals, Brighton still managed to lose. That was very unexpected for me. They had the home fans behind them through the whole game and after each come back, they immediately lose there lead as soon as they got them.
933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [banned mixer] 🦁 Fantasy Premier League Pool ⚽ Discussion Thread on: September 21, 2023, 10:30:40 PM

The experience that many players have here playing is giving them an edge. I like to see when people recognize mistakes that cost them and from the experience avoid such from happening again. There was no last season for me, this is my first season and everything I am learning is from this season. I may not do as I expect this season, but I am pushing to see how well I can do in my first season.
Well, it’s an edge to have those seasons of experience on your belt but, it plays out more in your use of them wildcards, Tripple captain, free point hits, bench boost and how you maximize the double game weeks. The rest is just how familiar and up to date you are with the league and players.
Can’t say your doing any badly. Last season was my first, stayed close to the prices positions as could be, won fee game weeks but that was it. Don’t thinking your doing any badly but, you still have to watch it.

Jackson is only one yellow card away from suspension. GET Alvarez for your piece of mind; he's in the best shape of his life right now, and with KDB and Kovasic out, he'll always play behind Halaand; he's the team's best creator right now. I might also get him.
This is very reasonable, Alvarez has been very consistent for Manchester City but he has only scored two goals in the premier league and Erling Haaland with seven goals making him the top scorer presently.
Alvarez is trying to seal his place on the team and be very relevant and you can agree that his being doing just that perfectly. Either creating assists or scoring goals and you can agree that, his by far going to be futures more this season with the network his constantly building with E. Haaland on the pitch. We see that and Peps is leveraging it as only him could, a perfect game so far for his team.
934  Economy / Reputation / Re: Is there anything unusual in these screenshot? on: September 21, 2023, 10:14:06 PM
Ranking up is not a crime. I can't say anything about this case without reading the posts,
You said it all in these few lines. Yes I agree them yo be unusual but, we have to come to terms with the fact that, the forum is run in English and being a global forum, you realize that some of the nations you would find here don’t have English as there first language. For those residing in those nations. They rely on translators to bring them close to understanding what goes on here and for the few that have learned the language, it’s just a few and a privilege for them.
Local boards I can find there are Pakistan and Bengali. Both of which are not native English speaking nations.

Hence, the unusual nature to it is justifiable by the posts which for good reason, you don’t wish to relate. It’s cool though but, we hope it ain’t what is perceived to be.

It’s a good find I must commend.
935  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Challenges that can deprive/ delay one from hodli for long. on: September 20, 2023, 11:59:30 PM
Some of these aren't challenges like trading, you can still be a trader and still also be a long term Bitcoin holders, I don't think hodling mean you should give up your interests in trading.
Good point. The idea to hodling is not having to spend and spend in terms of you having to exchange the coins for fiat or hvaing it involved in some deal that, you wouldn’t get back your bitcoins. Trading in most cases still leaves you with your bitcoins and you would be hodling something of great value as well.

Obviously, some of these reasons you’ve given do apply but, most of what I would like to say is that, the needs of a person when you don’t have an alternative source of income or satisfying your human wants makes selling your bitcoin to fill in for that want more easy. Yo be able to hodl, you need another source of income to fill in your needs and wants.

Hodling isn’t a most but, could be a necessity when you seek to get some profit through time without actively taking risk by trading.

Ahoda na bad place for Rivers State as na there all those cultist them plenty. The bad thing be say majority of them na inside bush them dey stay dey do this havoc. Just like wetin the soldiers them talk i no blame them because you no go risk your life go enter bush wey you never enter before. If i dey travel and we don dey reach Okube community i dey always pray make nothing make our bus stop for this area because na that place be those cultist their hide out.
I no dey very fund of generalization as, I sabi some Ahoeda people way dey very good and speaking of them to be bad people because of the few way don paint this picture no really make all the Ahoeda people bad. These murderers in question shah, these guys way be say, they were given an opportunity for a change but them refuse, it’s a shame the life way some people can choose to, to leave for bush with snakes and mosquitoes and without proper food just because, you wan Dey carry gun. E dey very tiring and disappointing on watin them Dey shah and I no sure say them think am through but, e no go make me say Ahoeda people bad shah. Them just get some bad eggs amongst them!

The insecurity for some part of our nation dey make traveling a hard decision and e no suppose be so. I wonder when the people way Dey cause these disturbances go get better understanding shah but, we need to change this narrative of a few bad people making the whole bad. Na so outsiders dey talk down on Nigeria too because of few bad eggs, make we no do the same to ourselves.

POS don dey around for some time now and the growth on the business don dey explosive way be say, e hard for you to walk around any corner for any urban area and you no go see at least one or two POS stand. This business don bring about the rise of plenty wallets (online banks: Monie point, OPay, etc) and these guys don make services cheaper and access to POS machines more affordable and accessible but, the skepticism side still dey.

You know goose calls way person go receive con dey tell you say, them be your bank manager and you go send them some code via say something dey wrong with your account… The thing don make some people to dey careful on how them dey use POS services and these categories of people still dey dey prefer inside bank than any alternative but the better be say,
E don drop wella.

The cashless policy and change of notes open Nigerians up to possibilities of easy and faster means to finance handling. E help banks too if you ask me. Less paper work and time spent in attending to customers as well as managing people. E dey hard me go bank for any of my personal transactions. Mobile banking and the availability of customer care support on the apps just makes banking a lot more easier and the charge on POS service no matter much for petty transactions.

Everyone needs motivation to give their best and if you don’t get rewarded for your work you maybe discouraged, maybe that have been the reason some of the members here don’t like to engage in discussions and who knows if it might have been one of the reasons none of our merit source application for our local board have been approved by theymos yet.

I think hugeblack and Cryptopreneurbrainboss have contributed much to this fantastic improvement. Let’s keep up the good work and give theymos a reason to approve our merit source applications.
Motivation is hardly a goal here and I don’t see it yo be better enjoyed when sort out for or when required. I think it’s sweet when it’s dropped on you where you didn’t expect it or having more on a work where you expected less. Trust me, I know the feeling from an early time but then, times change and now, I don’t know but, you could still discuss while expecting nothing.
Your offering your opinion and that’s the important thing. Your opinion goes out to help handicap an ignorant situation and that’s quite satisfying as well.

On the course of merit source application, I think some has been up way longer than many users on the forum but still, no approval and not just for the Nigerian board but, an additional to what the forum already has.
If there is one thing you should know, the forum changes very little and most times, out of the desperate need or to a wide range what the changes could bring.

I will continue to applaud those that continues to do there best and be active on the board like CrypyopreneurBrainboss. While we seek appreciation, are these guys been appreciated as well? It’s ironical when your not up the ladder.
939  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: They sent me btc to my wallet they were available and then they disappeared! on: September 19, 2023, 11:53:03 PM
Bitcoin deals greatly on trust and while trading with an unknown individual where there isn’t a third party to act as escrow involved, you’ve got to exercise a great deal of caution, knowing that this individual is a stranger, this individual don’t have much to lose once cash have been delivered to him/her and it’s your responsibility to ensure that, your coin is deposited safely.

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible but, this becomes the case only when there is at least one confirmation on the transaction. This is the only time when you can bank of the irreversible nature of the space to act in your interest.

In most cases especially when your using a custodial exchange like Binance and depend on its mail system or perhaps wallet history to display information on a transaction, it’s normal that, you would get notification on a pending transaction upon initiation of the transaction by the buyer.
That doesn’t mean you’ve been sent the coin. It simply means, there is a detection of a transaction on the bitcoin or Binance network. Untill a confirmation is done on it, the individual could attempt to double spend and cancel the transaction.

You ought to be more careful and can count this as a lose to experience.
940  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I took a proposal to my State Governor to accept Bitcoin Technology on: September 19, 2023, 11:42:22 PM
I continue to be amazed by Nigerian people, by enthusiasm, openness to Bitcoin and such a strong spirit of taking things into their own hands. Of course, it's related to the op personally, this strong and brave decision to submit a proposal to the Governor's Office, and it's wonderful that such people exist and have the will to do things that can benefit a lot of people.
But I feel like this forum has really shown me that Nigeria has many strong pro-crypto people, although this is the first time I see a post where a person's trying to convince the government rather than do things despite what the authorities think.
When you live in Nigeria and you walk amongst the common people, get to know the people, the struggle they face and the awareness of your environment, it’s hard not to think for the common good of the masses as a morally just individual.

It just gets bad when, Nigerian citizens that once walked in the shoes of the nothingness majority of its poor masses face, forget the struggles of a time past, only to dwell on the success of today through marginalization and stealing of the common wealth of the people. Just a few do this and the law haven’t really been on the side of its citizens in setting things right against the corruption within the political ranks. Instead, you find them using it against themselves with regards to support and political parties.

In all, Nigerians continues with there daily struggles, picking interest and opportunity in the cryptocurrency industry and social media to better there lives. It’s explosive and trying to do the best for once’s self and the people is what we do.
