I know you are trying to contribute to the forum in your own way but it’s not always about creating threads so people notice you as a newbie rather it’s about the knowledge you gather at this time because it will always come through for you as time goes on. As a newbie you are not even supposed to be teaching others or reminding them of some terms and most of the people around are high rank members who are already familiar with these terminologies so i will advise you to rather channel your energy into learning and increasing your knowledge about cryptocurrency because making post of this nature that have already been made several times will not fetch you merits.

Believe me when i say you will hardly earn yourself any merit with this, you will have to put more effort into your posting if you want to impress people here.

Your profile doesn’t say nice things about you as you have already earned yourself a negative comment on your profile, it seems you are fond of shit posting on your local board

Chelsea has carried their free fall to this week again. I don't see any seriousness in this Chelsea team. This has to stop, you can't be losing in front of your fans almost every week. Losing 2:4 to a struggling wolves side is unacceptable. Pochettino looks like a man who has ran out of ideas. The early Chelsea relief him of his duties the better for them.
Chelsea’s performance is getting worse and worse every week as if they don’t train, there is really no sign of seriousness in their play, no togetherness and the team have almost lost it’s trust from the fans as they keep losing matches every now and then. The coaches are not doing enough to make the team improve and it’s as if they are not up to the task to get the team to where they should be.

At this point I wouldn’t blame the owner if he decides to sack Pochettino and his coaching crew because it is unacceptable to spend so much money on a team and still get such poor results. Losing to almost any team they are faced with, Pochettino is really out of ideas and has no tactical ability to improve the team, he doesn’t even impose any game plan on the players, they just go out there and play the way they want.

French medias are already announcing codedly a Kylian Mbappe deal to the galacticos by the end of the Season; I really do hope it’s true and we can watch mbappe have his dream move to Real Madrid

What do you think about a rodrygo, mbappe and Vinicius front 3 ?
Will definitely go down to becoming one of the deadliest Trio in football. Those 3 are talented players on their own, they are good attacking players and playing for Real Madrid will make them invincible, they will lift Madrid to an unprecedented level. Mbappe to Real Madrid is the perfect move for both parties, both sides will benefit significantly form one another as Mbapppe will accomplish a lot for the team and also with the help of the team he will is likely to lift the UCL and also become a contender for the Ballon D’or by just playing for Real Madrid.

Rodrygo, Mbappe Vinicius front 3 will be a scary front 3 backed up by Bellingham.

A few days ago, my friend luckily won a bet and have used the funds to open a business for his wife and himself
And that's where my question is coming from because for some, they're into gambling to make money, whereas some gamble for fun, but if luckily for you, and you have won a bet in the past, or luckily, you win a reasonable amount of money, did you achieve something with the money?/will you try to sort out some of those problems that lead you to go into gambling, like using it to establish a business, or did you lavished the money because it was unexpected free money?
Wow I have so much respect for this friend of yours, he have proven that he is one responsible gambler who doesn’t just gamble for fun but rather he gambles with  ambition, aiming to become someone, he knows what he wants and with such mentality one can easily get the best out of gambling. Alot of people lose their gambling winnings to gambling again because they are greedy and don’t know what they want and when to stop.

I have not really won much from gambling but with the little amount i do win i make sure i don’t lose all my winnings to gambling again, i always withdraw all winnings from the casino and bet again when i feel like.

I don’t know what will happen but I just want to test myself and see if i will make the best use of the money if i eventually win it big in gambling  Grin . People who lavish such huge amounts have no plans for themselves whatsoever that’s why they don’t do anything reasonable with such wins .


I know of a guy living in my street who won a huge amount of money in gambling last year, he lavished the whole money and now came back being broke.
There are a-lot of people who end up being broke after winning a huge amount, i feel only few of them have a good mentality to do reasonable things with such money. Gamblers are known for their lavish lifestyle and misuse of money that’s why most gamblers are not respected in my area.

The Arsenal vs Liverpool match will of course be very fierce, Liverpool is in top form at the moment but I will not underestimate Arsenal because they will play in front of their own supporters, I think there is a high probability that a draw will occur and that is quite fair in my opinion.
Liverpool is no doubt in top form at the moment, they have been havving a great season winning matches back to back and they are showing no signs of slowing down. They are already on top of their game and it won’t matter where they are playing be at home or away they are still capable of winning games. Arsenal is not a small opponent so they cannot be underrated at all but to win Liverpool they will need to play more intense football than they have been playing in past games because Liverpool seems to be king of counter attacking football at the moment.

Arsenal do have an advantage to win since they will be playing at home in front of their fans but even at that they need to be serious and approach the game with caution and not let Liverpool dominate with their counter attacking style. I also expect a draw from this game but if Arsenal wins they will close up the gap between them and also give Manchester City a chance to overtake Liverpool.

It’s just surprising the way Ivory Coast manage to get to their current level, a club that struggled before they could qualify for round 16. I never expected them to qualify for the quarterfinal, but the most surprising part is that they are now in the semi final of the tournament. It's really a nice one because Ivory Coast is a country that everyone already lost hope in, but they are struggling, and they are winning their matches, which is good. They played a draw against Mali today, and they played a penalty, and Mali was defeated.
They seem to be emulating what Portugal did in Euro 2016, going from the best losers in the group stage to winning the Euro back in 2016. If care is not taken the same thing could happen in the AFCON 2024 because to me it seems they have the easiest opponent among the qualifiers to the semi finals and this could be an opportunity for them to win the tournament. Ivory Coast has been given an opportunity and i think they are on the right course to winning the competition, it will not be easy but it is possible. Let’s see the outcome and see if they will against Guinea.

I expect the super eagles to progress to the final. This can only be possible if they work harder than their game between Angola as they are equally playing a tougher opponent this time around.
South Africa is not an easy opponent and considering they have some sort of beef on social media amongst their fans they will want to make it difficult for themselves. At this level AFCON has now become more intense and interesting and so no team will want to lose at this stage. Nigeria can win it if they actually work hard and become more serious than how they played against Angola because Angola has been their toughest opponent so far in the competition.

Benzema is still looking for the exit from Al-Ittihad in January. But the team still wants him to stay. The things are getting more complicated for Benzema as long as he is still there.

There have been rumours related to a Premier League team as well. It must be Arsenal I guess? I must admit I would like to see him there rather than wasting his time in Saudi Arabia while he is unhappy. Maybe he has been making tons of money so far but money doesn't always bring endless happiness as it seems.  Smiley  He can still be useful if he returns to European football thanks to his quality in my opinion.
Football is all about being happy and if you don’t find peace in a club then you should consider leaving to a club that will give you peace. Playing with joy and happiness brings out the best in a player and where a player can’t find happiness they hardly find their best form. Benzema is not at his best and it may be due to the team’s performance which means he is not enjoying life there, if he wishes to change club then it is understandable because benzema still has qualities in him and can still play in top clubs in Europe.

The premier league will be a nice place for him to settle since he has never played for any English club before. Sometimes money is not everything though for footballers it is, Benzema needs to leave Saudi and forget about the money to find happiness somewhere else.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria has displayed a wonderful performance this night. They are just waiting for either DR Congo or Guinea in the semifinals.
It was a very good performance from Nigeria they showed more confidence today and the team spirit was lifted a bit and it contributed to their winning of the match. Both teams played exceptionally well and gave it their best but in the end Nigeria's defense proved once again they are rock solid and it will take more than just 90 minutes for Angola to penetrate. The New defensive formation seems to be working for Nigeria and they have now conceded only a goal in the tournament so far. Let’s see how well they will perform in the next round.

Base on what I have seen SPL are far better than MLS, it can not be compared their strength is not of the same size, I really pity Messi for engaging himself in that kind of weak club, he alone can not do it and will this result he will one day be sent off, because when he came him fan expectations are very high hoping to see change but it was getting worse am really afraid for him because all eyes on him.
It is true and i also agree with you on this, Saudi league seems to be better than the MLS league and even more popular. Inter Miami is not the best team in the MLS and coming to play against the top teams in Saudi Arabia and losing to them is expected and with some top European players being in the team means the MLS league is still below standards compared to the SPL.

Messi had the opportunity to join the SPL but chose to join MLS league, in my opinion it’s not the best move for him although he might have his reasons for choosing USA over Saudi but so far it has not been the best move for him. The team have been struggling in the league and also in friendlies and it was really not what the fans expected, with Messi they expected to be performing better than this but Messi is actually not as strong as he used which is why things are difficult for him.

They will respect him regardless, he is a legend and his performance for the club will not change anything.

I'm disappointed in Chelsea because they lost against Liverpool by a large margin; I expected a draw, but things did not go as planned, instead I watch Chelsea not putting enough efforts, and fighting for defensive techniques towards their territory. Darwin Nunez hit the woodwork four times, an unbelievable performance, but he was unable to score despite his substantial beneficial influence. Liverpool crushed Chelsea at Anfield Friday night, putting on one of their most intense performances against the Blues. Jurgen Klopp's men were fully prepared to produce as expected.
We are all disappointed in them and i am sure the players and coaches are disappointed in their performance as well and most especially Manchester City players and fans will be more disappointed because they expected more from Chelsea, they wanted a win or draw from Chelsea in order to close up the gap between them and Liverpool. A draw or lose would have seen Liverpool fall short off points making the title race even more challenging and intense giving Manchester City more hope to win the league again this season.

Chelsea are not playing as a team at all, they lack chemistry and understanding between the players and they are not playing as a team that wants to improve they lack a lot of things and it’s bringing them down. Liverpool showed class and they showed they are capable of winning the league this season, they outplayed Chelsea and deserved to win. Nunez was unbelievable and deserved to be on the score sheet more than once.

I also have the feeling that Chelsea might find it difficult to win Liverpool in the match, their performances have really been poor this season. I am just surprised that they have been able to reach the EFL final, they have really been inconsistent, but I have noticed a slight improvement in their matches lately. Let's see if they will be able to surprise everyone in their match against Liverpool. Chelsea's performance is always good when they are playing against strong clubs, so let’s see what will happen in the match. I know it won’t really be an easy match for Chelsea, but let’s see how the two teams will perform.
It’s really a surprise for them to read the final of the EFL cup and playing against Liverpool can prove to be difficult for them because of their bad performances this season. Chelsea are known to be very good against stronger opponents this season but in this final I don’t think they can pull any string in this upcoming game.

This is football so even if they are not up to the task they should not be underrated by Liverpool because they might come out prepared since this could be their only chance of winning a trophy this season. I trust Liverpool, they can’t joke with this chance as well so they will be prepared as well but nothing is certain yet so let’s see what happens and let’s see who will win the trophy this time.

Sadio Mane is indeed absent because he plays for the Senegal national team in the Africa Cup of Nations. But unfortunately Senegal lost in the round of 16 today to Ivory Coast. So I hope Sadio Mane can play for Al-Nassr in the match against Inter Miami. Because his duties with the Senegal National Team have also finished now. But he will indeed need rest. But who knows, he might actually come and play for Al-Nassr. Grin
Alot of players will be absent for Al Nassr which will be a big blow for them. I read somewhere that Sadio Mane could be available for them since Senegal have been eliminated in the round of 16 but i am not sure how legit the news is. Fofona will definitely miss out and also some other players that are representing their nations in the Asian Cup competition.

I also read on twitter that Ronaldo might not feature in the match against Inter Miami due to some unknown reasons although i am not certain of the legitimacy of the news but if Ronaldo should be absent then Al Nassr are going to miss a-lot of players and could affect their performance. Everyone is already Anticipating the last fixture between Ronaldo and Messi, i just hope they both play in this match.


Nobody will miss this match and it looks like Ronaldo will score more than 2.
If Ronaldo play i also expect a goal or two from him or even more and like wise i expect a goal from Messi as well.

I must have talked about PSG's interest in Rashford before. After some time they dropped it. But now according to rumours they have started to be interested in signing him again.  Smiley

But I don't know if Rashford is really worth it...  Sad  Because he has been a really inconsistent player for many years. One season we see him being very productive and playing a big role in his team to rise. But in the other one (like this one) he is like a ghost. I don't think this would change if he signs for PSG as well. PSG must be taking this also into account before making an official offer.
Rashford is a good player with lots of potentials and this is something we all know, he have been inconsistent for some years now which could be due to certain reasons but in opinion i think it’s Manchester United’s bad form that is affecting him, the same thing is happening to Bruno Fernandez who is a very talented player but seem to have lost his special touch.

We could see a different Rashford if he leaves Manchester United as the team seem to be affecting all the players there. There is no certainty though but i believe there is more left in Rashford.

The mistake most people dey make Iin cryptocurrency they feel every new projects is worth investing and they just take the risk of investing without making any research to be sure if the project is safe for investment or not. Make we learn to take things easy first to learn and not rush into, when we learn by making research to know more about wetin we won put our money to invest,  it will prevent one from making mistakes from entering all this failed projects we have.
A very common mistake and no matter how people are being taught about how dangerous and risky cryptocurrency is there are those who would always ignore it all and just invest their money into it. Investing without having knowledge about it or making proper research about the coin you want to invest is a very bad approach, it doesn’t usually end well as mostly na negative results e de get.

Napoli are as experienced too and Barca need to prove they worthy to win else they will lose if they play sloppy football against Napoli. Both are in bad form at the moment but let’s see who will win at the end.
Both teams are in poor form in the league. But I think Napoli are much worse because currently they are in 9th place in the standings and have had bad results in the last few matches. Barcelona is slightly favored to win the match. I also bet on barcelona. Even though Napoli has Osimhen who is said to be one of the strikers of the future, their overall quality is still inferior to Barcelona. But the problem is that Barcelona doesn't have another striker apart from Lewi. And I see that Lewandowski's performance is also below expectations. So was this match supposed to end in a draw?
You have a point, Napoli are actually worse than Barcelona and for being at the 9th position actually tells alot about their performance. Barcelona looks more promising and also has few good players than Napoli and looking at the stats properly they are actually capable of winning but the problem with them is the conceding rate, this days Barcelona are conceding more goals and it is affecting them.

I am really not so sure if i can bet on Barcelona but i might consider it though. If Lewandowski can actually improve his game then they have more chances of winning the game. A winner must emerge and if there is no winner after both legs then they will have to play extra minutes and possibly penalty shootout to determine a winner. I don’t think the match will end as a draw after both legs.

Napoli is also struggling in Italy's Serie A league this season; they are currently in the 9th position in the Italy Serie A table. This is the Uefa Champions League, and Barcelona can get a different form that will make them win against Napoli in the UEFA Champions League last 16.
Both teams are struggling in their respective domestic leagues and that is the more reason why it will be an interesting match. This is a different Barcelona team, they are not the same team we used to know back then so i don’t expect much from them because they couldn’t get anywhere last season and they performed better last season. Napoli are not inexperienced in the Champions League so Barca have no advantage over them at the moment, they will have to fight for the win.

The Champions League has a different atmosphere. Even if Barcelona are in last place in La Liga, when they play a Champions League game, they play like a Champions League game.
Napoli are as experienced too and Barca need to prove they worthy to win else they will lose if they play sloppy football against Napoli. Both are in bad form at the moment but let’s see who will win at the end.

Ivory Coast had other plans today and am wondering where they were all this long... Senegal have been forced to play extra time from a winning position thanks to some clumsy goal keeping from Mendy which called for a VaR review and Hosts got a late minute penalty.

And from what I can see, Senegalese players look tired and have nothing more to give and hoping the script won't be an exit for the defending champions...

Let's go team Mane, show us why you were crowned Champions 🥳
When i watch Mendy sometimes i just wonder if he actually played top level football because sometimes he acts as a goalkeeper with no experience. Senegal actually played well and had couple of good chances but Ivorian goalkeeper Fofana was able to prevent more goals that could have ended their qualification hopes. Member made some decent saves and also some silly mistakes, he conceded a cheap penalty in my opinion and also he is so bad at defending penalties. A goalkeeper at his level should know better that defending penalties is a mind game and not waiting for the player to kick the ball before diving.

He could have saved some penalties but i guess it’s the end of the road for the defending champions. Ivory Coast pull a good fight too to force extra time and end up winning the game from penalties.

The competition is still very open as there is no favorite team to win yet, Senegal looked like the favorite to win but got eliminated. It’s getting more and more interesting so let’s see the teams that make it to the Quarterfinals.
938  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: To any Bitcoin holder who lost their seed: How did you lose it? on: January 30, 2024, 07:58:11 AM
What mistakes did you make, and what advice do you have for others to be careful?

What are the best and worst ways of storing a seed in your opinion?
Basically every beginner seems to make one or two costly mistakes in their early days, the most of which results in financial loss. I also made a really careless mistake while storing my private key when I started out, i started using Trust Wallet so while backing up my seed phrase to my wallet i saw a warning message that warns against taking screenshots of the seed phrase and that screenshot cannot be taken so instead of writing down my seeds and saving them in a secure location i felt too lazy to go get a pen and paper to write it down, then i asked my friend to take pictures of the seed phrase using his phone and that i will get it later from him to safely save it. That was how i forgot about the seed phrase, after some time i tried to reach my friend but i couldn’t, den a few days later he reached out and said he lost his phone.

Despite this, I didn't remember about the seed phrase until a few weeks later when I had to access my wallet due to a phone issue that required a factory reset. At that point, I realised my friend had taken screenshots of the phrase and had misplaced his phone. I was so upset that I believed there must be a way to avoid it, but there was none, and that's how I lost all of my money. Everything is valuable to you as a beginner, therefore I hoped I could turn back time and fix my error.



My advice to beginners and everyone out there is to take their private keys and seed phrases seriously, they should never joke with handling it and always secure it in a safe place. The seed phrase is more important than your asset itself because without it there is no way of accessing your assets.

To prevent damage from exposure, we should always write our seed phrase on a metal surface rather than paper. We should also produce duplicates of the phrase and store them in different locations. Avoid saving it in a location that is easy for others to access or too deep for you to reach.

Writing down on a metal plate and adding extra phrases to make it impossible for anyone to use and make duplicate copies and keep in multiple locations is the best strategy to save your seeds.
While writing down on paper—which is readily damaged when exposed to certain conditions and saving your seeds online such as in your email—are, in my opinion, the worst ways to save seeds, and these two approaches are the most popular ways people store their seeds.

Liverpool vs Chelsea


A great tie, great rivalry but Chelsea are very far off it so there isn’t much rivalry any longer. I think Jürgen clopp boys will get the win in this tie over Chelsea

A cruicial 3 points in their title charge; I do not think Chelsea stands a chance
Chelsea can’t be written off just like that, they seem to be inconsistent with their performance but we have seen what they are capable of doing when they are faced with a stronger opponent. The rivalry is still very much on and i believe it won’t be an easy game for Liverpool. Chelsea might be losing against smaller teams but they know their way around when playing against bigger opponents.

Liverpool are definitely the favorites to win the match but it is still unpredictable and Liverpool should not underestimate them in any way if they don’t want to reduce the gap between them and 2nd placed team. It will be an interesting match and a match not to miss because when they face each other in the first leg Chelsea was the better side but Liverpool was still struggling to find their rhythm.

They feel as if they have already won the match after securing two goals in the first half of the game; they forget that they are playing against Stade Brest, who is on form this season and has also won all five of their last five matches, just like PSG. Stade Brest has secured the third-place spot by getting a draw against PSG; they are now one point above AS Monaco; their dream of making it to the Champions League next season might come true if they maintain their performance.

Brest have been having an excellent season so far they have been in good form lately having a more better record in the their last 6 games in all competitions than PSG. PSG really seem to have underrated them which might’ve been the reason for they ended the match draw after having a 2 goal lead advantage in the first half. Brest performance have improved compared to when they started the season, they were inconsistent and lost some points but despite that they were still able to improve and occupy the 3rd position.

It’s a good thing for Brest and if they keep the performance consistent till the end of the season then thy will sure secure a spot in the next season Champions League.

I gambled on PSG to win i guess it was because they are playing at home but Brest surprised me and pull off aa comeback, i lost the bet but i was happy for Brest because of thee performance they displayed against PSG, they worked hard for it and was deserving.
